Musings - Vol II
by
INTRODUCTION
The following were
selected as the best quotes from the
material expressed in 2003
Musings – Vol
II. This continues something that was done for Vol
I earlier this year. Quotations are
especially powerful to me. The fact that
so many powerful expressions could come forth through me in such a
short period
of time is mind boggling. We are only
talking about a four month period. Yet,
we have hundreds of quotes once again.
The quotes are numbered
starting with 884, where we left
off at the conclusion of 2003
Musings –
Vol I. Allow the numbers in your life to guide you
to passages of significance. Feel free to open up to
any page and read from any
passage. This is not a linear expression
that must be read in order.
Enjoy! Be Happy
and Create Well!
I
AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE!
LOVE,
Feel free to contact me if you relate strongly to this material or you have feedback to provide. I’m looking for kindred spirits to help co-create the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.

884 - Going through the entire set of musings to select the best quotes may be a challenge. However, it is a challenge that I consider to be worth the effort. It is like mining for precious gems. What we find is spectacular.
885 - Some people give all that they are to their family, or to their relationships, or to their job, or to their community, or to their church, or to some combination of these. Not me. My focus is almost like a laser ... here in this expression.
886 - What matters to me is the expression of spirit in flesh. And, for me, that is what these words are all about.
887 - Utility is the key criteria for any path. Use what works. Use what has value to you and ignore the rest.
888 - Each of us must ultimately find our own path. There are some roads that have been created that we can follow if we so choose between established destinations. But, the interesting places are in the unknown realms of consciousness ... at least, the most interesting places for me.
889 - We have the power to create any future we desire ... but we have to do it here and now. We have to want it badly enough to do what it takes to make it so.
890 - Wishful thinking is not sufficient. We are gods in flesh. We are the creators of our reality. It is time we starting acting as if we truly realized that this were so.
891 - I still liken Beyond Imagination to an unchartered island which few have discovered and even fewer have explored.
892 - Life has this way of living up to our expectations ... and occasionally exceeding them.
893 - Notice, I said expectations not wishes. Many people wish for a lot of things that they do not expect that they will ever receive or experience. Expectancy is powerful. However, it must be based on a sound belief system. It does no good to strongly expect something to happen that you believe to be impossible.
894 - When we combine expectancy, beliefs, and acting as if, we have covered all of the bases. I believe it can happen, I expect it to happen, and I act as if it has already happened. This accompanied by an attitude of gratitude goes a long way toward creating the reality of our dreams.
895 - Thus far, only a few people have provided feedback to let me know that my writings have helped them. I suspect that there have been many more than this, but that they remain anonymous.
896 - Unfortunately, that is one of the things sorely lacking in our world. We need more feedback, direct honest feedback. That is how we improve and how we assess how much of an impact we are having.
897 - This expression gives me a reason for living. It provides me with an opportunity to encounter the unknown on a daily basis and to creatively express whatever consciousness would bring forth each day.
898 - There is something wonderful in that, something miraculous. I am blessed to be chosen for this great privilege.
899 - Life is meant to be lived in an extraordinary manner.
900 - There is always a way to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It is primarily a matter of attitude.
901 - Our life will be what we make of it. When we want it to be something different ... we need to make it be something different. This is always within our power to do. In fact, it is only within our power to do. No one can do it for us. This is something that we must do for ourselves.
2 May 2003
902 - Quotes, especially the best quotes from the best minds of the ages have always given me inspiration. I find it curious that I come up with so many of them in my own expression.
903 - Does this expression serve people in some way? At the very least it provides some exercise for the consciousness. That alone makes it worth the price of admission as they say.
904 - I hope that what is expressed challenges you ... in particular, challenges your concepts of reality and spirituality. I know that this expression does that for me.
905 - We need to go beyond words, beyond imagination to actions that actually build the foundations for a better world.
3 May 2003
906 - Consciousness by its very nature is subjective. It is something that we experience firsthand. Further, it is something that changes us as we experience it.
907 - We awaken from our slumbers. We become more and more aware with each new realization. That is what life is all about ... coming to realizations of whom that we are, and then applying this in some way of service in our world.
908 - Do these words take the reader to a different state of consciousness or a different state of mind? Do they show the reader what is possible when we allow spirit to assume a major role in our lives?
909 - It doesn't take much to be an information generator. One just has to allow it to happen. But, then again, I have a natural predisposition towards writing ... so perhaps have an unfair bias and advantage in this area.
910 - In relating the nature of my reality, I challenge people's concepts of who they believe that they are and what they believe about the nature of reality and the nature of consciousness. I do this purposefully ... with the hope of helping people to awaken and become more aware of the grand spiritual beings that they are.
911 - I am a unique being in all of creation. No one has ever had the education, programming, and experiences that I have had to get me to this place in life. Note that everyone can make this exact same statement.
912 - We are all unique points of consciousness. Each of us see the world in our own way. This does not mean that we can't share what we see with others. They may not get it. But, they may get enough of it to relate to it.
913 - Sharing is important. We share what we have, we share what we experience, and we even share of whom that we are. This latter is the most important of all. For, whom that we are is more valuable than diamonds or gold.
914 - We are souls incarnate. We are spirit having a physical experience. It is very important that we remember this and behave accordingly.
915 - Under any circumstance, the choice that is optimal is always what spirit would choose to do. If we can do that most of the time, we will have lived our lives well.
4 May 2003
916 - It seems that I have entered a phase of my life where I am meant to manifest this expression on a major scale. It seems that we need to go one step further and manifest the stuff of which the expression speaks as well.
917 - There is a destiny that is playing itself out in my life right now, a spiritual destiny. I believe this to be true for each of us if we seriously examine our lives. It is for us to find what this destiny is for us, and then to do it to the best of our ability.
918 - Why is it that this particular stream of consciousness is selected to be captured, recorded, and shared in this manner? What distinguishes this stream of consciousness from other streams of consciousness?
919 - The bottom line as always is to do what we are moved to do when we are moved to do it ... knowing that it is spirit herself that is the motive force in our life.
920 - When we find source, our lives improve dramatically. Our attitudes change. Our reality improves. A whole new realm of possibility for what we can do with our life opens up before us.
5 May 2003
921 - Each of us can apply ourselves in ways that provide value added. For some this is easier than for others. It is generally best if we do this in an area that is something that we love to do. We can always find such areas. Though, we may have to go searching for them.
6 May 2003
922 - It seems that the time is right for unleashing Beyond Imagination unto the world. I've been waiting a whole decade for this time.
923 - I have been hoping that spirit would guide whoever was meant to find me to the Beyond Imagination site, but this simply is not happening ... at least not in anywhere close to the numbers that I had hoped.
924 - I would build the foundations for a new world. Yes, that is about as grandiose a task as one can get. But, every nerve and sinew in me vibrates to this task.
925 - There is nothing that says your primary job is the one for which you are paid, or is the one which takes the most time in your life.
926 - There is a reason that this stream of consciousness expression is captured in the manner that it is. My sense is that it is meant to be an example of what is possible.
927 - There is a sense that my world is about to change in a major way ... it is as if my reality is to be blown wide open. I've reached a breakpoint once again. And, there is nothing to guide me as to what life will be like on the other side of the breakpoint.
928 - A breakpoint offers us a chance for a paradigm shift, a chance to see the world in a whole new way. But, we have to be open to it. It doesn't force its way onto us.
929 - We have chosen an interesting time in which to incarnate. At no time in history have the opportunities for spiritual expression been as great.
7 May 2003
930 - There is only so much free time per day. Until I find a way to free up more time for the work of Beyond Imagination, I am resource constrained ... with the primary resource being my own time.
931 - For a decade, consciousness has been my constant companion, my friend, my guide, my teacher. She has led me along my path every step of the way. Even now, she feeds my mind with these words. When she speaks, I listen ... and when I can, I act based on what I have heard.
932 - Consciousness can only express physically, and this only occurs through our mind as expressed through our brain. Ultimately, what counts is the physical expression.
933 - I challenge myself to do more, to express more, and to be more. I take the directive be all that you can be to heart and try to live up to that daily.
934 - Consciousness is the star by which the ship of self should be navigated. I say should be because for many this is not consciously occurring at the present time.
935 - Just as some people have GPS navigation systems in their cars, it seems that some people have Cosmic navigation systems in their consciousness.
8 May 2003
936 - You are a spiritual being expressing in flesh here and now as well. There are parts of you that are just as capable if not more capable than the parts of me responsible for bringing forth this expression. You may not have found them yet ... but they are there, somewhere within you. It is for you to seek and find them.
937 - This expression is my way of giving back to the world some of what I have been so fortunate to receive
938 - Here is where I interface with consciousness firsthand. Here is where I see what spirit would produce in my life.
939 - I have given consciousness a wide berth to take me where she will ... trusting that she knew what she was doing and that it was all for my highest good.
940 - I am being trained to play a particular role related to ushering in a new age. This involves building the foundations required for spirit to more fully express in flesh.
941 - Life is not necessarily meant to be fully understood. The unknown has its place. It is an important part of nearly everything that we do. We can do things to try to mitigate it and minimize its impact. But, it will not go away no matter what we do.
942 - We are consciousness dancing and singing our song here and now.
943 - Being spirit doesn't make our actions spiritual any more than being human makes our actions humane. That is simply not enough. It takes additional factors and effort aligned with spiritual principles for us to truly live a spiritual life ... much as it takes effort aligned with particular moral principles to make actions humane.
9 May 2003
944 - The very infrastructures of society at present keep us from meeting the needs of everyone. When there is hunger, the system is failing. Where there is poverty, the system is failing. Where there are homeless people, the system is failing
945 - This is one of the benefits of living within a society. We can set up mutually beneficial relationships and interactions that result in both our individual and collective growth. This does not retard our progress. On the contrary, it enhances it.
946 - Everything that happens in our life is there because we choose for it to be. No one can help us or harm us against our will. At some level we create or at least agree to all that we experience. No fine print, no exceptions.
947 - We learn from everything that we experience, and from some of the things that we don't experience. The fact that something doesn't happen in our life is often as important if not more important as the fact that something does happen.
948 - We need to go through life with an attitude of expectancy. We need to expect that spirit will provide us the help that we need when we need it in our lives.
949 - The effort we expend on helping ourself is typically mirrored and magnified by spirit. However, it all starts with us.
950 - As individuals, there is only so much that we can do. But, when we allow spirit to work through us ... and help through us, there is so much more that we can do.
951 - We need to be careful about placing too much emphasis on the separation of individuals and not enough on their unity and oneness.
952 - Who should be providing help? One avenue is charitable organizations and the people who donate to them. But why should the few who give to charities take responsibility for alleviating problems created by society as a whole?
953 - Social problems are societies problems and hence are everyones responsibility.
954 - In my vision of the new world, needs do not go unmet. We, as a society take responsibility for ensuring that the goods and services required to meet needs are created and distributed to where they are needed. This means helping everyone that needs help ... regardless of the type of help that they need.
955 - All of this expression has come forth as it has for a reason. Ultimately, it is my way of helping a world that I see is in need of help.
956 - Who am I to make such an assessment? Just a simple soul with grandiose ideas about how I can impact the world.
957 - The greatest help of all would be to provide an infrastructure in which each individual could thrive and have their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs met.
958 - Karma is not a curse on us. It is a collective account of what we have done. Its primary utility is in keeping track of where we have gone overboard and need to achieve balance through additional right action.
959 - We are not meant to handle everything in our lives by ourselves. That is why we have others in our lives. That is why we live in a society. When we have exhausted our own means, it is appropriate to ask others for the help that we need. We can ask God via prayer. We can ask various social organizations specifically set up to provide assistance. We can ask family and friends. If we are sincere, we will get what we need. We may not get everything that we want, or everything that we think that we need.
10 May 2003
960 - What we can receive is often limited by what we feel that we are worthy of receiving.
961 - Our self worth is crucial to our wealth.
962 - The more worthy we believe ourselves to be, the more wealth we will draw unto us. Wealth may be in many forms however. It may come as health, relationships, money, job opportunities, education opportunities, growth opportunities, etc ...
963 - We become more worthy by finding ways to give of ourselves. What we invest in others, in society, and in our world ... pays big dividends in the long run.
964 - One way to assess what we are presently worth is what we are paid in terms of salary and job satisfaction. We have drawn our present circumstances to us for a reason ... even if that reason is to make us aware that we truly desire to be doing something else.
965 - It takes boldness and bravery to escape the bonds the bind us. Yet, if we would be free to pursue our destiny this is exactly what we must do.
966 - When opportunity knocks, we need to be ready for it, and we need to open the door and embrace it into our lives.
967 - Change happens when we make it happen. We have to believe that it can happen. We have to want it to happen. And, we have to do things consistent with making it happen. These are all within our power to control.
11 May 2003
968 - The purpose of life is simply to provide the opportunity for us to express and to experience whom that we are.
969 - Life is meant to be lived spontaneously. That doesn't mean that plans don't have utility at times ... but we need to be careful of allowing them to make us too rigid.
970 - We are meant to create our reality in the present moment. That is where we attract the events that play themselves out in our lives, and that is where we assign meaning to what we experience.
971 - It is in the assignment of meaning to the events of our lives that we have an awesome power. We are free to apply any meaning we choose to any event. There is nothing inherent in events themselves that is good or bad, that is frightening, that is painful, that is helpful, or that is enlightening. It is all up to us.
972 - More than anything else, we are consciousness enfleshed, we are spirit having a physical experience.
973 - Consciousness is unfathomable. There are parts of her that will remain unknown despite the greatest efforts on our part to understand her. That is just the nature of challenge. From our limited form, there is only so much that we can understand.
974 - Some might say that there is no purpose to life other than to live fully and completely. My sense is that we each have a mission to perform, a destiny to manifest. Deep inside of us, we know what these are ... however, it seems that few are consciously aware of these.
975 - It is for us to seek out why we are here ... and then do what it takes to actualize it. The spiritual law applies: seek and ye shall find. However, we need to be sincere in our seeking.
12 May 2003
976 - To know, we have to want to know. Knowing has to become as important to us as breathing. That is what allows the breakthrough to occur. That is what allows us to awaken to this part of ourself that knows.
977 - I don't think much about what constitutes right action or wrong action. I have reached a point in my life where I know that spirit moves me ... so all that I really have to do is what I am moved to do in the moment.
978 - Yes, to be successful, my work must have world impact in some way. I know, that is grandiose thinking. But, I see my mission in such terms.
979 - The key to right action is do what you are moved to do when you are moved to do it. Just make sure that it is spirit that is doing the moving.
980 - Right action feels right to us and harms no one ... or, at least minimizes the harm that is done.
981 - Right action is elegant. It utilizes resources with maximal efficiency.
982 - There is a reason that I am being moved to publish these works. The sense is that there is indeed an audience for whom they are meant ... and spirit will guide us to find that audience.
983 - What I can do, you can do also. However, it is not for you to do it my way ... it is for you to do it in your own way.
13 May 2003
984 - What distinguishes us as conscious beings? What can we do that other beings in the animal kingdom cannot do? We can reflect on whom that we are and what we have done. We can desire and hope for things to manifest in the future. We can take action in the present with an understanding of the future ramifications of our actions. We can come to know whom that we are ... and we can choose to express that as fully as we can in our lives.
985 - Know Thyself! This is a spiritual directive. It is not an option. Though, there is nothing that says it is a requirement for each of us in this particular existence.
986 - I came to be one of the aware ones ... one who would live an awakened life ... one who would be a wayshower ... one who would build the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh. This puts me in somewhat august company, the company of world servers. Yes, I speak in grandiose terms because I sincerely believe my mission to be grand.
987 - Consciousness is as consciousness does. You shall know her by her works.
988 - Consciousness is more than my mind, yet she uses my mind as the tool through which to pass this expression.
989 - Facts have limited utility. It is how information is connected that gives it power.
990 - When we empty our minds, nature or spirit will find something to fill it with. It is that simple. Though giving up our thoughts and getting to a beyond mind state is far easier said than done. If it were easy, we would have seen far more people do it by now ... and it would be evident in the works that they are doing as a result.
991 - Our consciousness is one thing that we take with us when we depart this existence. Our worldly possessions will remain in the world ... but what we have become in consciousness, this cannot be taken away, even by death.
992 - The degree to which we are aware makes all the difference in the world. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Consciousness is our way of staying in touch with the spiritual part of us from which we spring.
993 - Our consciousness is very much like a muscle. It needs to be stretched and it needs to be used so that it remains flexible.
14 May 2003
994 - It is natural for spirit to express itself and to unfold itself as it will in our lives. We have only to allow it to do so.
995 - Our lives unfold in accordance with a plan that was scripted for our life before we entered this existence. We created the script to conform to our needs to express and experience whom that we are. We did this in concert with those whose lives we would touch ... setting up the scenarios for the realization of any relationships that we wanted to jointly pursue.
996 - Our reality unfolds in accordance with a plan for our spiritual progression and evolution.
997 - The most powerful connection that we have to source is our intuition. It pays to develop this connection.
998 - Many train their mind to operate logically but pay little attention to developing their intuition. They would be much better served to do the opposite. Though, there is some benefit to achieving a balance between logic and intuition. Both together provide a powerful toolset for reality creation.
999 - Express whom that you are. Manifest the destiny that is yours to manifest. Make your mark on the world. Do something, anything, that makes a difference. Make sure that you leave the world a better place for your having lived. That is what ultimately counts in life. Did our life make a difference ... preferable a big difference, but a substantial difference will do.
15 May 2003
1000 - Isolated facts, isolated information, are of limited utility. It is in knowing how information is connected that its power becomes apparent.
1001 - Indeed, knowledge is power. However, it is powerful only when it is in the right minds and only when it is used effectively.
1002 - Consciousness works through us. If things are to happen, they will happen by and through us. We have to take responsibility.
1003 - Cooperative interdependence is how we create the synergy necessary to do great works ... and these are great things that we are trying to achieve.
1004 - We have a society and a world to create in whatever image we would choose to fashion it. We are that powerful. We are creators all. We have chosen to live in a time when what we dream, what we imagine, can be manifest in short order. But, be advised, be careful what you wish for ... you just may get it and have to live with it for awhile.
18 May 2003
1005 - Spirit can be trusted to act in our best interest ... not necessarily individually, but collectively.
1006 - We are individuals for a reason, yet a great deal of our power comes from the organizations within the collective that we choose to participate within.
1007 - When we see lack ... we are not living up to our potential. When we see poverty, when we see hunger and starvation, when we see homelessness, ... when we see all of these things, we as a society are failing in major ways. It is not that we don't have enough. We have the resources, we have the technology, we just don't have the resolve to make the problems our problems and commit the resources to fix them.
1008 - We are one people on one world on one planet, this spaceship Earth. Further, we are animated by one consciousness. At what point are we going to drop some of the country boundaries and start seeing one another as the brothers and sisters that we are.
19 May 2003
1009 - There is another saying, if it is to be, it is up to me. In this we declare our power over the events not only in our lives, but potentially in our world.
1010 - We can literally work miracles when we allow spirit to operate as fully as possible through us. And, in the process, we can make not only our live, but the lives of those we touch into masterpieces.
1011 - The sense is that for things to happen now ... we must do what it takes to make them happen. They will not manifest of their own accord. It takes our energy and our intent to feed them and coax them into being.
1012 - We build a better world by building better organizations in which to participate in and from which to get goods and services.
1013 - I trust that spirit knows what she is doing. In particular, she knows where she is leading me in the dance that is my life. The best that I can do is find a way to enjoy the process.
1014 - The destination is often not the most important thing while we are on the path ... rather, it is finding a way to enjoy the journey.
20 May 2003
1015 - Whether the world is as I perceive it is a matter for philosophy. My reality is clearly as I perceive it ... but this can change in an instant if I decide to see the world in a different light.
1016 - We each live in the shadows of our choosing. Most of these are imposed by the belief systems that we have accepted. Too change what we experience, we need to go to the source, and change the core belief systems.
1017 - Our lives can unfold before us effortlessly. Though, many prefer the challenges of problems of various types ... and hence engage in them.
1018 - We need some drama in our life to keep things interesting ... to keep us awake. Uncertainty can do this to us as well. The unknown has a way of shaking up our lives if we allow it to.
1019 - There is something powerful about spiritual expression. It consumes us ... yet, it exhilarates us at the same time.
1020 - We have a new world to create ... we have foundations to build. We have dreamed of grand things and have kept our castles in the clouds for far too long. It is time to plant the foundations under them and bring them down to earth.
1021 - Choice without action in accord with the choice is no choice at all. It is action that makes choice real.
1022 - We are meant to be stewards ... caretakers of the things that are under our stewardship, one of these being the very planet.
1023 - Mine is a life of obligation, but it is a voluntary one. I willingly accept the responsibility to do what is mine to do ... trusting that spirit herself will show me what this is when I need to know it.
1024 - Consciousness is the key that unlocks all the doors. In fact, she is the very mansion of the Self. She is the stuff in all of the rooms behind all of the doors.
21 May 2003
1025 - In life, it is the journey that is the thing ... it is what we experience on the way in our day to day lives that matters most.
1026 - We are powerful creators one and all. It is time that we realized this and used our natural abilities to benefit our society and our world.
1027 - Years ago I realized that independence was a farce. We are connected and interdependent in so many ways that we cannot exist without one another.
1028 - In a rapidly changing world, forms and organizations either need to evolve or they will die. Flexibility is critical.
1029 - The forms that are necessary for spirit to express elegantly will indeed manifest. There is an overall plan for the evolution of consciousness that will ensure this.
1030 - If we keep thinking in the ways that we have always thought, and keep doing the things that we have always done, then we will keep experiencing the things that we have always experienced. If we want to change our experiences, we need to think differently and act differently. It is that simple.
1031 - It shouldn't be hard to find one's natural and rightful position in the world. One should gravitate there as easily as a star does to its position in the heavens.
1032 - I know that many resources are going untapped and others are vastly underdeveloped and underutilized. When this happens, we all lose the benefits of the added productivity that could have been ... potentially productivity that could have even created new things that had never before existed.
1033 - We cannot afford to waste the potential of our people. It is that simple. We must find ways to create the social infrastructures necessary for people to express whom that they are in service to society in exchange for what they need.
22 May 2003
1034 - Happiness is an inside job, it is something that we do to ourselves. Someone said something to that effect. And, they are correct. The only place to find true happiness is within.
1035 - There is a place inside of each of us that knows all that we could ever want or need to know. However, it takes effort on our part to find that place ... and to communicate with it. It takes effort and it takes desire. Never underestimate the power of the later. It is amazing what we can do when we are properly motivated.
1036 - Each day, I am confronted with a miracle ... with the expression from a source that is unknown consciously. Yes, this means that my very life is miraculous ... but no more so than that of any other.
1037 - That you are alive and aware is a miracle, the miracle of life. It is a precious gift that we have been given and that we continue to be given in each moment. We need to make sure that we don't squander that gift. We do that by making sure that we do something that makes a difference with our life. It doesn't matter whether it makes a difference to one or to one million ... it just needs to be an important difference, a difference worthy of our having lived.
1038 - It is amazing how much benefit comes from kindness ... even simple acts of kindness.
1039 - Until we know whom that we are and what we are capable of ... we have no idea where we fit within the fabric of society.
1040 - It is time to create an interdependent support group responsible for carrying out the work that Beyond Imagination was created to carry out ... namely the building of the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.
1041 - Everything is spontaneous expression. Yet, somehow it hangs together. No, not necessarily from paragraph to paragraph or from day to day. But, overall, there is an organization behind all of this. That the organizing force is unknown or is other than conscious, doesn't change the fact that there is an organizing force. Whether that be consciousness, or spirit, or even some part of me of which I am not consciously aware does not really matter. Clearly, there is an intelligence that is revealed here.
1042 - So long as it is only
23 May 2003
1043 - Consciousness is ever a mystery. I trust that she will continue to be for all of my days.
1044 - We have the foundations for a new world to create. It is within our power to do what it takes to create these foundations. That may mean that we have to tear down old foundations that no longer serve us.
1045 - You see here the results of connecting to a source within. What that source is, I know not. All that I know is that it is able to speak through me ... and it does so as long as I choose to be of service in this manner.
26 May 2003
1046 - I speak simply overall. Yet, even so ... out of simple expression can come the most profound of thoughts.
1047 - I have found that I am being the best that I can be when I allow spirit to express as fully as she can through me. This is not a sacrifice of my self or my freedom in any way. It is a choice to be of service to something greater and grander than my highest sense of self. It is a choice I freely make. Yes, of my own free will. I would be what I AM.
1048 - What is it that I want? Unlimited abundance in exchange for applying my services for the benefit of spirit and hence the world.
1049 - How do we put a price on creative expression? ... especially when that expression comes from spirit?
27 May 2003
1050 - Here, I am capturing something special, something that I have not seen captured in this precise way anywhere else.
1051 - What I have to give is what can be expressed through me. That is a lot, as evidenced by what has come forth in the past decade, and in particular, in the past 17 months.
1052 - As a wayshower, it seems right to show that consciousness can indeed express in this manner. Some will be comforted by this because it will validate their own experiences. Others will be surprised by this since what is expressed will be quite foreign to what they experience.
1053 - By seeing that another experiences in this way, it opens up new possibilities for their own experience. No, it may not happen right away ... but there will be chinks in the armor that clothes the self ... and these chinks will eventually expose the true self that lies beneath.
1054 - While I ask a lot of questions, it does not seem fair to question the integrity of the source of this material. It is enough to use the measure of utility to determine whether the material has merit for us.
1055 - Efficiency and effectiveness ... it all comes down to elegance. Where can my talents be put to the greatest use for the benefit of spirit, of society, and of the world?
28 May 2003
1056 - By the end of the year we should have combined works totaling in excess of 2500 pages. That is no small feat. In fact ... that is something of a miracle.
1057 - This is my life! This is where I will make the greatest difference to the world. These words, this expression, are what will remain long after I have gone.
1058 - I am living the life I am meant to live ... or coming as close to it as I can at this point in time anyway. I need to stay flexible and observe how the universe responds to my efforts and react accordingly.
1059 - My books are my children. Can I really go from one to five or six kids by the end of the year? That is a little over seven months away. Yes, that is a lot of work. But what else do I have to do with my time that could be more important than this? The bottom line is nothing!
1060 - There is something satisfying about having one's name on the cover of a book. There is a sense of contribution. There is a sense that I have done something meaningful and of lasting value.
1061 - I'm doing my part. I'm doing things that enable the forces of the universe to kick in and do their thing. I'm doing what I can do. Further, I'm not leaving for tomorrow those things that I can do today.
1062 - Do what you are moved to do when you are moved to do it. That is a directive that I have lived by for over a decade ... actually for most of my adult life.
29 May 2003
1063 - I'm really moved to do this ... more than I've been moved to do anything in a long time. I can see all five books manifested in their published form. The labor necessary to make this happen is completely within my power to control. However, I do need some help with the financial end. The costs aren't much. But they are beyond what I presently have available.
1064 - I am a man on a mission. I will find a way ... with spirits assistance. If these works are supposed to be born this year, the funds will be available to permit it.
1065 - Best Passages was selected from a storm of expression that started on January 1 and lasted all year with rare exceptions. I believe there were over 330 musings for the year. There was nothing comparable in the expression prior to that.
1066 - It still strikes me as interesting that my first book could officially be available for purchase the final week in June, and my sixth book might be available for purchase by Christmas of this year.
1067 - Details, details ... it seems that it always comes down to the details. Why can't I just do my thing and created the books and trust that they will find their way to those who are meant to read them.
1068 - Taking the step to transform the works officially into books is a major step. It demonstrates a degree of maturity ... and a degree of belief in the works. It will attract a corresponding audience in return, an audience who will be surprised and amazed by what they find. Yes, the works are that good.
30 May 2003
1069 - To say I am jazzed is an understatement of major proportion. Clearly, I could spend every waking moment engaged either in this expression or in relating this expression to others. Yes, I feel that strongly about it.
1070 - Until you stop the river of thoughts that distracts you and engages your attention constantly, you have no room for the still small voice from within to speak to you. She will speak ... but only if you are listening.
1071 - Most people do not know how to listen. Listening is hard work. It demands our full attention. However, we need to be relaxed when we engage in doing it.
1072 - I would show that what all of these words have shown is that what is important is not for us to express like another ... but rather for us to express in the manner that is right for us.
1073 - The more passionate we are about what we are doing the greater the difference that we will make. It is amazing what happens when we do what we love to do. There is a powerful force that is unleashed to do great works.
1074 - Above all else, source is creative. The more creative we become, the more we connect with source in our lives.
1075 - When we want a water well on our property, we hire a drilling company to dig the well and tap the water source. Could the appropriate people provide this kind of spiritual service for others and assist them in tapping the source within. I don't see why not.
1076 - All that we can do in an one existence is the best that we can. That is always good enough.
1077 - But, in the realm of the unknown of consciousness ... here reason and logic are completely out of their elements. Here, intuition must be relied on to provide a course by which to sail.
1078 - Oh ... if only I could be doing this fulltime. If only, indeed. It seems time to walk my talk and manifest the conditions for my liberation. Yes, I do feel enslaved to some degree by my present circumstances including my present job. I am thankful for the job from the standpoint that it is secure and pays sufficiently to cover the bills.
1079 - My spirit longs to be free ... completely free, and it is not clear that it can be that in the current work environment. I've had this problem before. In 1993, with Loral then in 1998, here.
--- JUNE ---
1 June 2003
1080 - I'm still amazed at what came forth during that first year following my major awakening in October 1993. The work is timeless ... it could endure indefinitely, definitely long past when I am dead and gone.
1081 - Reality Creation 1010 is particularly peculiar. It was definitely inspired. That something like that could be created in 10 days still blows me away.
1082 - I am meant to be an author of some reknown. If I have my way, we'll see at least half a dozen Beyond Imagination books published this year ... spirit permitting, that is.
1083 - It (publishing of books) is also an announcement to the world that I am ready to stand behind what I say ... and demonstrate it in the way that I live my life. Yes, I did this to some degree before. But, this is taking things to a whole new level of expression.
2 June 2003
1084 - I am indeed a madman on a mission. I am consumed by this task of getting the Beyond Imagination works published as quickly as the universe allows. For some reason this seems to be the right thing to do at the moment.
1085 - These (books) are my children. Publishing them releases them to do their works in the world. They are an extension of me. The ideas they express have the potential to reach and to impact many. Whether they will do so or not remains to be seen ... but, this seems to be somewhat up to me. What I do makes that much difference.
1086 - Publishing makes a positive statement that I believe enough in what I do to commit my writings to public scrutiny. Indeed, I do. And, I welcome whatever feedback will come from this. It was time to try something new ... something different, and this seemed to be the right thing to do.
1087 - Consciousness guides my every step. She moves me to do what I do, and to express what I express. This stream of consciousness is the stream of my life. I have chosen to serve spirit, and in doing so to serve my society and my world.
1088 - I speak of my world as if it were something that I own. But, it is something that I create, or at least co-create.
1089 - 2002 was about bringing forth Musings on a regular basis ... nearly daily in fact. 2003 is about not only doing that, but publishing books as well.
1090 - The Beyond Imagination books are targeted for a relatively small market of folks interested in metaphysics, new age, consciousness, self-help, reality creation, belief management, and the like. This is not necessarily the stuff of bestsellers. Then again, I have no idea how many sales are required for something to qualify as a bestseller.
1091 - The sense is that it is time to consciously accept the mantle of my spiritual mission. I have been touching on it and even doing parts of it for some time. But, now it seems this is to become my primary mode of being. That gives it a much greater emphasis than it has ever had before.
3 June 2003
1092 - These works are entities in their own right. Yes, they are born through a collaboration of consciousness and me. But, once born, they are free to impact and influence others in the world. In this way, they do their works. And, in this way, effectively I do my works and the works of consciousness.
1093 - Doing our works in the world ... that is what life is all about now. Actually, it is all about doing spirit's works in the world. But, I've reached a point where I believe that my works are indeed spirit's works through me
1094 - I have the been given the ability to see things that need to be done ... yet, many of these things are not things that are for me alone to do, or maybe even for me at all to do
1095 - There is a strong sense that this is indeed the work that I am here to do. This is the work that puts a spring in my step. This is the work that I love doing. I just need to find a way to get paid to do it ... and paid well.
1096 - That seems to be what all of this work of publishing the Beyond Imagination books is all about. They are to be my ticket to freedom ... and the means for breathing life into the works of Beyond Imagination.
1097 - There is a mission to be accomplished. There are foundations for a new world to be created. It is high time for us to get on with it, and do what we came here to do. Yes, that requires funds ... but the universe will see that these are forthcoming, as long as we do our part.
1098 - Do our beliefs serve us and those whose lives we touch? The later clause is very important. It is easy to fall into selfish ways. We need to be careful to avoid this.
1099 - We need to find ways to serve others as we live the life that we are meant to live. This is not always easy. But, there is always a way.
4 June 2003
1100 - There is a strong sense that my destiny is in the process of being manifest now ... that I have set the wheels in motion via my actions.
1101 - I have chosen to live a life of spirit and for spirit. No, this is not the easiest path to follow. But, everything within me says that this is the right path for me to follow. And, I choose to do what is right when I can.
1102 - Meditation and quiet time have their places in our lives ... especially if our lives tend to be hectic. In fact, the more hectic, the more that we need such peaceful times.
1103 - There is a richness in the fabric of what is expressed. I sense this as I write ... but, it is more obvious when I read what I have written. There is definitely an intelligent source at work in doing all of this ... a source that is far more than I know my self to be at present.
5 June 2003
1104 - I am spending a lot of time engaged in the works of Beyond Imagination. But, I consider that to be quality time doing work that I must do. Yes must ... it is as if I have no choice in the matter.
1105 - The universe has her way of moving us to where we need to be ... preferably voluntarily, but kicking and screaming if necessary.
1106 - One way or another we will experience the reality that is right for us to experience. Generally this comes from our belief systems. So, it behooves us to get these in order. We will know when they are right because they will feel right.
1107 - We each have an innate knowingness within us. It is important for us to find this knowingness and apply it in our lives. The sooner that we do this the better it will be for not only us but for all those whose lives we touch.
1108 - When we live our lives out of this knowingness ... our lives become magic. We are empowered to do things that would otherwise be impossible. That is because what is impossible for us, is not necessarily impossible for spirit.
1109 - The bottom line is that there are great benefits to living a spiritual life ... benefits that go beyond anything that we can quantify. Also, from this we are able to live a life of purpose. We are able to do what we came to this planet and to this existence to do.
1110 - Purpose is that way. It resonates with us. When we discover what ours is, it fits us like a tight glove. There is no doubt as to whether it is ours to do. We will know.
1111 - Without the intuition, the value of the information obtained is greatly limited.
1112 - I am willing to give all that I am in service to spirit. That is all that I have to give. That has to be enough. Indeed, our best and all that we have is always enough.
1113 - Act as if. That is a powerful method to apply to reality creation. Much can be created in our reality if we do that one thing ... act as if what we desire is already so.
1114 - We are spirit first ... then we manifest in flesh. It is important to remember this.
1115 - Every fiber in me says that this is wonderful material ... the clearest expression of source that could come forth through me at this time. As such, I gave it my best. Further, it came from a source that while inside of me, was not really me. Spirit, herself, deserves the honors and the credit for all of this. Oh, I played my role as well ... and, without me it could not have come forth. However, this was clearly a cooperative endeavor.
7 June 2003
1116 - I'm still an isolated being, a hermit, expressing for a source consciousness that comes forth through my intuition. I'm willing to give the bulk of my free time to this endeavor ... to what would be expressed as Beyond Imagination. Why? What is so important about doing this that it is worth this investment of my life?
1117 - I only know that there is nothing that I would rather do. This is something that I must do. This is something that I am moved by spirit to do ... and when we are moved in such a manner there is no use fighting it. The best course of action is to go with the flow, and see where the current of spirit takes us.
1118 - We have foundations for a new world to create. This is a monumental undertaking. But, it is one that is well within our collective abilities and resources to perform.
1119 - It seems that the time for creating these foundations is now. I've been talking about this being my mission for over a decade. But, something has changed recently ... in particular, this year. Now, the time is ripe. The seeds are ready to reach fruition.
8 June 2003
1120 - Yes, this expression is that important to me ... important enough that I am willing to lose some sleep over it, and I like my sleep.
1121 - We need to take advantage of each and every moment, and do what we can to use those moments effectively.
1122 - I would know whom that I AM. And, I would share this with all whose lives I touch.
1123 - Could it be that each of us has such a stream of consciousness within us to which we can connect? All that it takes is to go within, be still, and listen. Easy to say ... but, this still seems to be a relatively rare thing to do.
1124 - All that has been expressed at Beyond Imagination over the past decade is the crowning glory of my life. But, it comes from an equally important unseen, consciousness herself. It is time for this expression to reach a wider audience.
1125 - What makes my stream of consciousness any more special than that of anyone else? For one thing, I am moved to record it in this manner.
9 June 2003
1126 - Spirit does not allow us to pour forth our energies in this manner indefinitely for naught. Eventually, the balance is restored and with interest accrued.
1127 - I know that there is a destiny that I am here to achieve, a role that I am here to play, a mission that I am here to perform. It is a matter of allowing spiritual gravity to do its thing and pull me down to exactly where I need to be.
1128 - Society needs its dreamers to dream of things that never were. However, on another front, we need a wake up call and need to start doing things that turn our dreams into our reality.
1129 - Consciousness doesn't work from wants. It works from needs in line with what we believe that we deserve.
1130 - Do I create my own destiny ... or do I simply allow what has already been planned to unfold in my life?
1131 - There is much that needs doing. But, there are many hands that can share in the burden thus lightening the load for everyone.
1132 - Each of us has natural talents and abilities that can be used to serve society and/or serve spirit in some way.
10 June 2003
1133 - There is only so much time and energy available to spend on this endeavor. That is simply a fact of existence.
1134 - At this point, what matters is that the forces of change are in motion. The play is unfolding as it needs to unfold.
1135 - So long as I keep tapping into different places in the stream of consciousness, the resulting expression will be original
1136 - Is what is expressed here of such a nature that it could impact the world ... and do so positively?
1137 - But, what is Beyond Imagination? It is an ideal ... it is an entity created to embody an ideal ... created to build the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.
1138 - What can one person do? Clearly the answer is a lot ... far more than we might suspect, especially when spirit is doing the work.
1139 - That is the key. We work best when we serve as the vessels for the work that spirit would do through us.
1140 - It takes courage to live a spiritual life. It takes courage to be all that we can be. We do not lose anything in the process ... at least nothing that is truly important to us.
11 June 2003
1141 - I cannot imagine a more adventurous journey than the one that consciousness has taken me on.
1142 - This is the best of what I can do ... and I freely choose to do it and share it with all who find their way to the world of Beyond Imagination.
1143 - I have known since the earliest days of this expression that these works of consciousness were not mine alone ... they were meant to be shared with an unseen audience.
1144 - The economic system could also free us to do things in new ways if we allow it to do so. However, to do this we have to be willing to invest of whom that we are into "the system".
1145 - The more that we can give in excess of what we take, the better. Spiritual law will ensure that we receive what we need and what we deserve.
1146 - Rights always come with their corresponding responsibilities. There is no free lunch. But responsibilities do not have to be experienced as burdens.
1147 - Life is what we make of it ... no more and no less.
1148 - We have chosen to live in some interesting times. Yet, the changes that we have seen to date are nothing compared to what is in store for us in the times immediately ahead.
1149 - It is curious that consciousness speaks through me in this manner, especially since I speak to no one in this manner and no one speaks to me in this manner.
12 June 2003
1150 - This is stream of consciousness expression after all. As such, it is far more important than anything that I might dream of expressing myself.
1151 - Here, spirit speaks to me and through me to you. I never know what is going to come forth. That is part of what makes the endeavor so interesting to me. That is why I am willing to invest so much of my free time in doing this.
1152 - Ultimately, there is a sense that what is expressed will impact the world, and will do so in significant ways ... perhaps even major ways.
1153 - For me, it is very important to live my life in a manner that makes a difference, a meaningful difference to the world in some way.
1154 - I came to serve society, to serve the world, and to serve spirit ... not necessarily in that order.
1155 - This expression is something I am passionate about. Carrying out my mission is something that I am passionate about. Spreading the vision of Beyond Imagination is something I am passionate about.
1156 - I will continue to express so long as consciousness has something to say through me. My sense is that this will be for the remainder of my years in this existence.
13 June 2003
1157 - Some things that we experience simply have no explanations no matter how long or how hard we seek for them.
1158 - It is important that I leave the world a better place for my having lived. Yes, that is a big responsibility to shoulder. But, I gladly bear it. I can't imagine living life in any other way. It simply wouldn't be worth living.
15 June 2003
1159 - The unknown can be a terrifying place. But, it doesn't have to be. It can be a place of adventure ... and even a place where we have fun exploring our own limits.
1160 - If you build it, they will come. But, that doesn't seem to have worked in this case. I built and I built and I built ... but while some came, nowhere near the numbers I had expected came. I still don't know why.
1161 - I still maintain the Beyond Imagination web site and post new material to it on nearly a daily basis. I consider it an extension of whom that I AM. I offer it as an example of the level of sharing that I would like to see happen in the world.
1162 - There is something about seeing your name on the cover of a physical book that does something to you. It is a special experience.
1163 - Things happen in their right timing in my life. They cannot be forced, try though as I might. Allowance is by far the better route ... for me anyway.
1164 - Spirit must be given a vehicle through which to speak. This stream of consciousness is the greatest gift that I can give to the world at this time. It is by far the most productive use of my time that I am engaged in.
1165 - It is important for our lives to make a statement ... to have an impact on society and the world. This doesn't just happen. This requires that we do something with our abilities and talents, and with our time, to serve society.
1166 - Service is the highest use of our time that there is. However, we need to make sure the service maximizes the use of our abilities. That makes it the greatest service that we can provide.
1167 - How many people choose to put 5000 hours into anything in their life? That's an average of 10 hours per week for 10 years. My sense is that the answer would be very few.
1168 - I would do the work of Spirit, or allow Spirit to do her works through me.
1169 - Beyond Imagination is about providing service ... the greatest service that we can to others, to our society, and to our world. However, to do this we must know whom that we are. Know thyself is as valid of a directive today as it has always been. Perhaps even more so, since we are more complex beings then we have ever been.
1170 - It is not appropriate to judge the experiences of one against the experiences of another. What matters is did we do what we came to do and did we do it to the best of our abilities?
1171 - The only person that can really judge how successful we were is ourselves. We know innately what we are capable of. We know when we are doing our best. The usual signs are by how happy we are and how fulfilled we are.
16 June 2003
1172 - What do all of these works offer the reader? That is a good question. The biggest benefit is that you get to see and experience consciousness in action as she expressed in my life anyway.
1173 - By walking in my stream of consciousness, perhaps you will encounter something about your own ... and you will in the process learn something about yourself that you never knew you never knew.
1174 - We are here to build the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh. Yes, that is a challenging task. Yet, it is one that is worthy of our best efforts. This is what the Aquarian Age is all about.
1175 - The world is richly interconnected. There are interdependencies everywhere. There is an incredible amount of cooperation that goes into creating the reality that we experience.
1176 - Time directly engaged with consciousness, with source, is special. It is precious. Because of this, it is not something to squander. Also, for me anyway, it is something to share.
18 June 2003
1177 - Spirit expresses through us to the degree that we allow her to. That is where our free will comes into play to the degree that we allow her to. She doesn't force her way into our lives.
1178 - It is within our power to create the world to be whatever we choose for it to be both individually and en masse. It is a matter of deciding what we want to create.
1179 - We need to keep challenging ourselves to excel. That means putting ourselves in positions that give us the opportunity to excel. That means doing things that allow us to use our greatest abilities and talents in service to others and to our world in some way.
1180 - How does one put a price on the wisdom gained from 30 years of metaphysical study and 10 years of metaphysical expression?
1181 - Belief management is one of the most important skills that we can learn. It dramatically impacts the reality that we experience.
1182 - There is a sense that I am gravitating to the very position that I am meant to fill. This happens naturally if we allow it to. It is not something that can be forced, try though we might. .
19 June 2003
1183 - Here I operate in the spiritual realm and because of this, what comes forth is sacred somehow. That does not mean that it is not to be questioned. I question it myself at times. However, it deserves to be heard and to be evaluated based on its utility.
1184 - That is how spirit works, through us. She has no means to affect the world directly. We are her legs, arms, hands, and even her mind.
20 June 2003
1185 - How is it that finished work can come forth in this manner? What is it that is doing the organization? My answer is that source herself is responsible. If it is a part of me, it is clearly an other than conscious part.
1186 - These musings, and all of the expression at Beyond Imagination have essentially been stream of consciousness expressions.
1187 - There is this incredible sense that my destiny is in my hands now in a way that it has never been before ... not to this degree anyway. There is a sense that I can make my life into whatever I desire for it to be.
1188 - What you decide, you will create ... you will do so because their are a host of forces waiting to do your bidding.
1189 - You have reached a level of awareness where you know that this is true. You know that there is literally an army of unseen forces operating behind the scenes to make reality happen in the way that you say that you prefer it to be.
1190 - The Beyond Imagination books are my children. If they do their jobs well, they will help the world to transition to a new age in which spirit can more fully manifest in flesh.
1191 - We stand at the dawn of a new age. But the vestiges of the prior age are still with us and will be for some transition period. The old will eventually whither and die ... and will be replaced by the new and all that it offers.
21 June 2003
1192 - It only takes one idea planted in the right mind to make a significant difference. And, these works are rich with ideas that can make a difference.
1193 - Making a difference is what it is all about. The chief criteria by which our life will be judged is whether we left the world a better place for our having lived.
1194 - We have to want to make a difference, and we have to choose to do things that have the potential to make a positive difference.
1195 - To make a difference in society, we must reach people somehow.
1196 - The chief directive is: do as you are moved to do when you are moved to do it. This is how consciousness impacts the world. She moves us to action. It is through our actions that her ends are achieved. But we are more than pawns in the game of life. We are willing participants – cocreators all.
22 June 2003
1197 - It is important to do what we can to make each moment count, to make the most of our efforts in whatever endeavors we are employed.
1198 - The operative word is elegance, doing the job at hand with the least resources and the maximum efficiency. How many of consider it our duty to work elegantly?
23 June 2003
1199 - With any timing, the only real answer is when the time is right ... and it is spirit that determines that not us. Then again, spirit works through us, so could not spirit be determining this through us as well?
1200 - We need to find ways to offload tasks to others who are capable of doing them so that we can free ourselves to do things that only we can do. In so doing ... collectively, much more gets done and the world is a better place as a result.
1201 - Elegance is important. We need to do things efficiently and effectively to the degree that we can. Wasted resources can never be recovered.
24 June 2003
1202 - There is something about seeing the children of one's mind come to fruition as published books. This is different than posting works to the internet. Perhaps it shouldn't be.
1203 - I would live a life of service. I would do what is necessary for spirit to do her works in the world.
1204 - Decide. Then speak and act as if it is already done. And, surely it will be done. It is that easy.
1205 - We are all powerful creators ... far more powerful than we might suspect. Our most intimate creation is our body and the reality that it experiences.
1206 - We are responsible for every aspect of that experience ... no fine print, no exceptions. We always have been and we always will be. If we don't like what we experience, then it is up to us to find a way to change it.
1207 - Change the beliefs and we change the experience. Beliefs are that powerful.
1208 - Choices ... it seems that more and more I am having to decide where I am going to apply my time and effort. Where can I do things that have the most impact? ... that make the most difference?
1209 - How do we turn the dream of Beyond Imagination into a flesh and blood organization of more than one person? The books are a start. They introduce people to a world of ideas. This world may be foreign at first, but it will grow on them ... enough that they will decide that they would like to co-create such a world. And then, the magic happens.
1210 - What keeps us from realizing spiritual truths in the moment? When the mass consciousness finally awakens, it will literally be as the difference between night and day.
25 June 2003
1211 - I am being fed what I need to know when I need to know it. There is a part of consciousness herself that is feeding me in this manner.
1212 - I haven't found my limits yet. Thus far, I don't think that I am even close to them. Though, to progress much further I need a more supportive environment. There is only so much that I can do on my own ... it is a lot, but it is still limited.
1213 - If my output is any indication of what each of us is capable of then collectively we can unleash an energy that will take the world by storm and transform it into whatever we desire it to be.
1214 - To me, life has a purpose. It is more than just to exist and be happy. I came to do something. In my case, that involves serving as the midwife for the Aquarian Age and building the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.
1215 - Do what you are moved to do when you are moved to do it. That is the directive from spirit. That is the chief guidance to live by in the times ahead.
26 June 2003
1216 - The bottom line is that I will continue to do what I have been doing so long as I need to continue to do it. Some might consider it a hardship. But, doing the work of spirit is never a hardship. It may be difficult and challenging at times, but that is what keeps it interesting.
1217 - We are powerful creators, each and every one of us. What we command to be so ... will become so, provided that we do it congruently.
1218 - When something is good, the word will get out ... perhaps not right away, but eventually.
1219 - Trust where spirit is taking you. Each step is a step forward toward a destiny that is right for you at this time. We would not lead you astray.
1220 - Do as you are moved to do. Trust that we are moving you to do exactly what you need to do in each moment. Further, we continue to do this in every moment.
1221 - Leave no room for doubt ... for where spirit guides us, our grandest destiny lies.
1222 - Life is a grand adventure of consciousness.
1223 - Live your truth. Express what you know. Be your grandest vision of whom that you can be. Dream big. Now is not a time to let limitation hold you back.
1224 - Why would I choose to give this much of my life to this expression? Is it worth it? To me, it definitely is worth it ... otherwise, I would not be doing it.
27 June 2003
1225 - I trust that consciousness knows what needs to be said and will bring it forth when it needs to be said.
1226 - What is it that I have to sell? What services am I able to provide and to whom? And, who is willing to pay for such services?
1227 - How do we build the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh? That is a monumental undertaking even for a major group.
28 June 2003
1228 -Will my children (books) be able to support me and this grand endeavor that we call Beyond Imagination? My sense is yes. In some respects, that is why they were created.
1229 - There is a sense that I am doing all that I can do at the moment to propel Beyond Imagination forward ... to make it a real force for change in the world.
1230 - Our lives are meant to be adventures, they truly are ... adventures in consciousness primarily. Clearly, some are more adventurous than others.
29 June 2003
1231 - I prefer to view this as offering a service that happens to be captured as a stream of consciousness in a set of books. The service is the states of consciousness that the material can take the reader to. By allowing the reader to walk in my consciousness for awhile, it gives the reader experiences that he/she may not otherwise encounter. They will learn things that they never knew they never knew. And, in so doing, they will become more than they knew themselves to be. That is what the game of the expansion of consciousness is all about.
30 June 2003
1232 - I have learned that I can give spirit the reigns to my consciousness and allow her to express as she will.
1233 - The rewards of spirit are well worth every effort you put into developing your abilities.
1234 - It is OK to be a little bit crazy. It is OK to believe things that others do not believe. It is OK to see things that others do not see.
1235 - Living life fully can be difficult. However, when we are in the groove, it can be the most natural thing in the world.
1236 - We are naturally suited to be whom that we are. This is what nature gravitates us toward if we allow it to.
1237 - Life is meant to be joyous. It is meant to be playful. It is not meant to be all work.
1238 - That is what building the foundations for a new world is all about. We want to make it easier for people to be whom that they are and to lead the lives that they are meant to lead.
--- JULY ---
1 July 2003
1239 - Self-employment in the direct service of consciousness is my desire. But, at this point in time I don't know how to manifest that.
1240 - Life has a way of working out in the manner that it is meant to work out.
1241 - Beyond Imagination - there is a reason that name came forth in the first day of expression over a decade ago. Yes indeed, that is what this expression is: beyond imagination.
1242 - I can choose to live my life in a manner that demonstrates what I believe. I can be an example of spirit expressing in flesh to the greatest degree possible through me at this time.
1243 - It is in the moment that I have the power to do anything. It is here that I have the power to choose what to accomplish with the free time that I have available.
1244 - Few people make empowering choices regarding how they expend their free time. Many choose to be entertained.
1245 - Every moment wasted is lost forever, never to be recovered. Unfortunately, that is how the game works. We can only lose time ... we can't gain it back.
1246 - It is for us to do something each day that makes the moments special in some way. No, it is not expected that we do this for every moment ... but there should be some subset every day that is special. It is these special moments that make it worth it ... that make it worth having lived.
1247 - When we go too long without such moments in our life we lose touch with our natural source of grace.
2 July 2003
1248 - What matters most to me is consciousness and its expression in flesh here and now. I came to demonstrate what is possible in this area.
1249 - This very expression is one of my demonstrations. I share it in the hope that it will show you what is possible ... not just for me, but for you.
1250 - There is some reason I am being moved to capture all of this. I have to believe that it is for more than my own good. I would live a life of service. I would do things that matter.
1251 - We are here to express spirit in flesh. More and more, the very forces of the universe will encourage us to do just that.
1252 - The goal is to create a society that I would want to be a part of. How's that for a goal for a Hermit? Yet, I do so dream of living in an ideal community.
1253 - Page after page, musing after musing consciousness expresses as she will through me. Without her, I am nothing ... my mind would be a blank. However, she fills the void ... and she does this on a regular basis.
1254 - Don't underestimate the difference that one good example can provide. People are in desperate need of positive examples at this time.
3 July 2003
1255 - The claim from 1984 was legitimate after all. Less that a week after submitting the paperwork, a check arrived in the mail for my portion ... $1161.07. That's just shy of being enough to cover the publishing costs for three books.
1256 - So close to 1162, the birth of Genghis Khan and the year Becket became Archbishop of Canterbury. This was tied to 832 in 1994 and started my foray into numbers and their meaning in my life.
1257 - Literally money from heaven after two decades, money that I had no clue that was owed to me.
1258 - People who find value in the Beyond Imagination works are encouraged to share the word with others. One way or another the works will reach who they are intended to reach ... spirit will make sure of that.
1259 - It is time to convene the best and brightest from among us once again and tackle the issue of Living in 21st Century Era Community. We should be deciding how we want to live and then harnessing technology to help to make it so.
4 July 2003
1260 - So, it seems that we have some idea as to what 2003 is all about. This is clearly a year of manifesting ... different than any other that we have experienced to date. This is the year that Beyond Imagination went public. Hmm ... it seems that is what is in store for the second half of the year anyway. .
1261 - I only know what I experience. That is that much of this expression is new when I read it again.
1262 - The WWW truly is an electronic extension of my memory. It contains things that I've done that I don't even remember that I've done.
6 July 2003
1263 - Writing and publishing one book is an accomplishment. Here we're talking about six and potentially as many as eight in a single year.
1264 - When we focus on the present, the future will take care of itself. That doesn't mean we should ignore the probable impacts of our actions ... indeed, we should consider these. However, often we may not know the impacts.
1265 - There is a sense that Beyond Imagination is about to be given wings so that it can take flight and do its works in the world. Though, we need more than wings ... we need resources, a commitment of time and funds to help build the foundations for a new world.
1266 - There is a benefit that comes from participating in cooperatively interdependent group of people ... especially when the group is aligned to do the works of spirit. We will be amazed at what we can achieve, or more correctly, what spirit can achieve through us.
1267 - I hope that my example demonstrates the power of sharing in changing the world. No, we aren't there yet. But, as the word gets out to more and more people, we are effectively building an army for change that nothing on earth will be able to stop.
7 July 2003
1268 - It seems that the more that I do, the more that I see needs to be done. Yet, there is only so much time available to do things.
1269 - The publishing of the Beyond Imagination books are actions that set in motion whole courses of events. Where these will lead is ultimately for consciousness to decide. But, it seems that they signify the birth of a whole new endeavor. Further, this is one that I can put my entire body, heart, mind, and soul into.
1270 - This stream of consciousness expression is always going to be an important aspect of my being. It is where I get my inspiration. It is my means of recreation. This is not work. This is consciousness at play. It brings great joy into my life, the joy that comes from truly being of service.
1271 - We can't necessarily expect people to volunteer their time and skills for everything. People should be paid what they are worth. That doesn't preclude them from volunteering if they so choose ... but the volunteering should give them something back at some level, perhaps satisfaction and even happiness.
1272 - We are worth what we truly believe ourselves to be worthy of. This will be reflected in our reality. What we receive will be in line with our beliefs in this area. To receive more, we need to give more so that we feel worthy of more.
1273 - When we give, it is as if we put money into a bank account. When we receive, we withdraw from this account. It is not clear that debt is allowed, at least not for very long. Though, there do seem to be people that take far more than they give.
1274 - We are master creators, each and every one of us. In particular, we are creating the very reality that we experience.
1275 - Spirit knows what needs to be done. Further, spirit knows how best to employ me in doing this work. It is a matter of allowing her to use me as she will. I am the willing instrument that she plays. There is no sacrifice in this. Rather it is a great privilege to be used in this manner
1276 - We are spiritual beings having a physical experience in a world full of symbols with heavy spiritual meaning. Everywhere we look, we see spirit in expression. Reality is amazing to behold.
1277 - We live in a miraculous realm where we possess the power to create the reality that we experience. That most of us don't realize that we are doing this is a failure of our religions and educational system.
8 July 2003
1278 - Consciousness is expressing through each of us in every moment.
1279 - More of the same begets more of the same. If we want to experience something new, we must be different and do different things.
1280 - Are we going to saturate the market with Beyond Imagination books? Perhaps. But, these works needed to be released in this manner. They needed to be born so that they can have their impact on the world ... whatever that impact may be.
1281 - I have reached a point where what I do in and of my own is of far less importance than what spirit does through me. I am a willing instrument for the expression of consciousness. I believe this to be the highest service that I can provide. And, at this point in my life, service has the highest priority.
1282 - This is a grand endeavor that we are engaged in ... building a better world.
11 July 2003
1283 - What matters is doing each day that which must be done each day. We must focus on NOW and allow the future to unfold as it will as a result of our endeavors.
1284 - What can be expressed is being expressed in the most fitting manner. That does not mean that this will not change and evolve over time. In fact, it will. Though writing will always be a preferred mode of expression.
12 July 2003
1285 - There is something special about stream of consciousness expression. This is by far the most creative expression in which I am engaged. And, for me, creative expression ... especially creative written expression is what it is all about.
1286 - Beliefs operate in the gray area of the uncertain or the unknown. It is in the playground of beliefs that all of reality creation is accomplished. That makes this a very powerful and important area.
1287 - It behooves us to know what we believe. It also benefits us to identify which of our beliefs result in which part of our reality. It is only through knowing this that we know where to start to change our beliefs if we want to change our reality. For, that is how we effect change, through our beliefs.
1288 - The future is what we make of it by doing what must be done here and now. There is no other way to get there. There are no shortcuts. Though some paths are easier than others.
1289 - It is for us to take the paths that are right for us ... and to do so joyfully and with all our hearts. The effort that we put in makes all the difference in the outcome.
1290 - We need to look at the return on investment for our labors and make sure that we are getting good value for the effort expended. Not only do we need to do this as individuals, we need to do this en masse to see how we fair collectively
1291 - Just when I think I've got it, spirit goes and throws me a curve. That is OK. Life needs to have such moments to stay exciting.
1292 - Do I really need to know how it will all happen? Or, is it sufficient to trust that it will all work out in accordance with some grand plan that is being worked out by consciousness with our participation on other than conscious levels.
1293 - We must allow each moment its whole fullness and avoid rushing from one to the next as much as we can. This can be hard at times ... especially when we know that greater things are in store.
13 July 2003
1294 - We do things to help build the foundations for a new world. We do this because we can and we do this because it is our work to do. We are carrying out the great work now. We have been for some time ... but now we know it fully.
1295 - When we allow consciousness to express through us, we are serving spirit in the highest capacity that we can in the moment.
1296 - The musings offer specific examples of consciousness in expression. They may be similar to your own ... only I have been moved to record and share mine in this manner
1297 - Keep doing what you have been doing in the same way that you have been doing them and you will continue to get exactly the same reality that you have been getting. If you want things to change, you have to change ... you have to do things differently.
1298 - The changes don't have to be as different as night and day ... though they can be if you so choose. A little change now can create a major change in the long term outcome.
1299 - Start with little changes. They are the easiest to effect. Trust your intuition. It knows what changes to manifest to get you to any desired reality.
1300 - It is up to us to define what the foundations for a new world need to be. Yes, consciousness will work through us to do this. However, she will not do it for us. We are perfectly capable of doing this for ourselves ... with her loving guidance, of course.
1301 - Those who are meant to be a part of this will find themselves attracted to the endeavor. The will sense that there is something missing in their lives. They will be moved to do something to make the world a better place ... and the will find that their contribution is enhanced by combining it with likeminded others.
1302 - That is what Beyond Imagination is all about. It is an attempt to get people working together to build the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.
1303 - We are all spirit expressing in flesh. We have been since the moment that we incarnated, and we will be until the day that we die. Even then, we will still be spirit in some form ... just not flesh.
14 July 2003
1304 - I have committed to live my life as spirit dictates. Yes, that means giving up some of my apparent freedom. But, in return I gain far more ... for I gain levels of spiritual expression that are far beyond anything that I would otherwise experience.
1305 - Expression, especially written expression, is that important to me. It is why I exist. Yes, I meant to state it that strongly in precisely those terms. This is where I come alive as I can in no other place. This is where I can reveal and be whom that I AM, freely and openly.
1306 - My mind is blank tonight. That is typical for these musings. But, generally, consciousness fills it with whatever she would express through us.
1307 - At some point, we have to accept that we have done enough ... and enough is enough.
15 July 2003
1308 - I trust that my life is unfolding in accordance with a plan that I am co-creating on other than conscious levels. Can I co-create this on conscious levels as well? It is possible, but it is not easy.
1309 - However, it seems that this is something that is indeed worth endeavoring to do. For when we become a conscious co-creator, we effectively become a god/goddess ... in our own life anyway.
1310 - Some things have consequences. And, if we choose them, then we get to experience the consequences as well. That is not to say that all such consequences are certain. Often, there are probabilities attached. However, we don't have to live in a world of probabilities if we choose not to.
1311 - There is something powerful about uncertainty, about the unknown ... and about living our lives in the midst of it. We may know a lot, but we don't know everything.
1312 - There will always be more to learn, there will always be things that we do not know. Such is the way of life. It is inescapable. All that we can do is make the best of it.
1313 - Collectively we have much to do to build the foundations for a new world. This is one of my main tasks, but clearly it cannot be solely my task. It is far too big for that.
1314 - When I need to know, I will know. There is no force in the universe strong enough to prevent it. Yes, that is how powerful the principle of need to know is. It finds a way to manifest, regardless of the obstacles that may be in its way.
16 July 2003
1315 - I consider this to be one of the most meaningful things that I do with my time. It has the potential to have the greatest impact on the most people. Whether it does so or not ... we will have to wait and see.
1316 - We have the foundations for a new world to create. That is a major task that will require the skills and commitment of many of us working in a cooperative interdependent manner to achieve.
1317 - It is not necessary that any one person have an overall understanding of the structure of the organization and the purpose of the endeavor. It is OK for this to be a collective thing. That is what synergy is all about. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
1318 - Together we can achieve far more than we can achieve alone. Together we can create a far grander world, a far grander reality, than we could achieve operating independently. When will we realize this and start cooperating fully and completely to create the world of our visions and our dreams?
1319 - I know myself to be ONE individual. But, I still experience myself to be composed of many parts ... parts which sometimes compete and fight with one another for resources and attention. Over the years, this has become less and less as I become a more integrated whole entity.
1320 - I am meant to be a force for major change in the world. My life has meaning to the degree that it affects the world. Yes, that is asking a lot of myself. Yet, I know that my abilities are such that I can more than live up to this challenge.
1321 - This is my life. This is my world. This is my reality. I invite others to share in what I experience. But I don't force it on you. Take what you will ... use what serves you and those you touch ... and discard the rest or leave it for another time when it may better suit you.
1322 - Utility is the only measure of value for anything. Who does it serve and how does it serve? That is one of the most important questions we can ask.
1323 - We have great hopes for this endeavor. At the same time we know that it is not necessarily our hopes and dreams that matter here. It is the greater hopes and dreams of the society and the world that we serve.
1324 - We are here to be of service. We believe that we can be of more service with more resources. This is one of our means of attempting to generate resources. We did it because we were moved to do it, because we could do it, and because it was fun to do. One cannot ask for much more than that ... that the work that one does is FUN.
1325 - To me, it is our adventures in consciousness that matter most in our lives. Perhaps that is because I don't have the responsibility of kids in this existence so I have the luxury of focusing my time and resources in this manner.
17 July 2003
1326 - I would take responsibility for changing the world; or for building the foundations for a new world. Yes, this is a huge job. But, every fiber within me says that it is indeed mine to do. No, not solely mine. Clearly, these are tasks that will require the cooperation of many. But, I would choose to be out there leading the way.
1327 - Everything has it's allotted hour in the scheme of things. It is for us to be patient and allow that to unfold as it will. That doesn't mean that we don't have roles to play and things to do. Indeed we do.
18 July 2003
1328 - The saying we have only just begun comes to mind. Oh, it has been a major beginning over the course of over a decade. But, what remains to be done far surpasses anything we have accomplished to date.
1329 - There is something right about the time now, the world is ready to receive what Beyond Imagination has to give. And, we have much to give.
1330 - What has been expressed to date is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There is so much more where that came from ... so much more that lies below the surface.
1331 - You have been soaring in consciousness for over a decade ... some might say without a safety net. But, we have been there at your side every step of the way to assure that you are safe. Deep down, you have known this; so, you have not been worried.
1332 - It is time to reach out and touch people ... and touch them deeply. The Beyond Imagination message has the power to do that. I just need to convey it with all my heart and soul.
19 July 2003
1333 - Each day present a brand new opportunity to express what has never been expressed before. That seems like an awesome responsibility when you look at it like that. But it is one that is full of hope and possibilities.
1334 - There is far too much information for anyone to possibly consume and use effectively. So, we must choose what filters to apply to limit the information that reaches us. We only want to see that subset that we have deemed to be of value to us. We need to be careful about the filters however, they can prevent information from getting in that would be highly beneficial for us to see.
1335 - In general, belief management is an important task to engage in on a regular basis. This is our primary mean for influencing the reality that we create.
1336 - Those forces responsible for reality creation within us forge reality through the patterns and limitations established by our beliefs. If we want to change the reality, that is the place to do it, with the beliefs.
20 July 2003
1337 - There is no need to rush or to force the expression. What is not expressed one day can easily be expressed the next, if indeed it needs to be expressed at all.
1338 - Life is a process of finding our limits and overcoming them.
21 July 2003
1339 - Creating the foundations for a new world. Do I really need such a lofty task? Indeed, I do. Nothing less would be worthy of my attention and my talents.
1340 - We are given gifts for a reason. Generally, that reason is to use them in some way that is of service. I have chosen to aim high in this regard. Will I succeed in doing what I am attempting to do? My sense is yes ... because I am not alone, and because it is spirit doing this through us. Those two factors are what will ensure the success of our endeavor. What we are doing is destined to be done. We are just the instruments through which it is happening.
1341 - This is spirit's work that we are doing. It is her will that matters. It is what she would do through us that is important. My importance comes from serving her ... and allowing her to serve the world through me.
1342 - Then, there is another part of me that says my will is thy will. My will is but another instrument for spirit to use to serve the world. It is there to be used not set aside or ignored.
1342 - Either we are responsible or we are not. To me, this is a black and white area ... there are no shades of gray. I have assumed responsibility for my beliefs and thus for my life.
1344 - Though there is the possibility for groups to accept mutual responsibility for some things and thereby create grander forms of consciousness able to execute in ways that no individual could.
22 July 2003
1345 - Make each and every moment count. And do that for every moment for the remainder of your life. Easy to say. But somehow I think this one may not be so easy to do. Yet if I can't demonstrate it in how I live my life, how can I expect others to abide by it?
1346 - The time of awakening is coming and it behooves us to be prepared to the degree that we can. We do this by opening to whom that we are, by finding our center, by developing our intuition, and by finding our place in the world and connecting with those we need to work with to perform our missions. These missions always involve service of some kind ... service to self, service to family, service to community, service to country, and even service to the world.
1347 - That is a common theme here. We are meant to live lives of service. That is how we show our gratitude for the abundance that we have been so blessed to receive.
1348 - We have the power to create the world of our dreams. However, we also have the power to create worlds of our nightmares if we are not careful in how we manifest. One key is to take responsibility ... full responsibility for all that we experience at both personal and collective levels.
1349 - We will be responsible one way or another whether we consciously choose to be so or not. It helps if our choices are aligned with spiritual law, but that is not a requirement for living.
1350 - When you operate on the edge between the known and the unknown you are bound to find things that you never knew you never knew.
1351 - I have chosen to make my realm the realm of spirit, of consciousness. That is where I find my home. The physical world is but a small subset of that. All that you see expressed here is physical ... but only as symbols in a computer system that get called up and translated into characters and words and ideas that convey this stream of consciousness to you. This is all that you know of whom that I AM. Here is where my prime interaction with the world occurs, even if that "interaction" is a one-way flow of information.
23 July 2003
1352 - One learns how to express spiritually by allowing spirit to express though us. It is that simple and that difficult. We learn to experience altered states of consciousness by engaging our consciousness in altered states ... and not aided by chemical means.
1353 - Do what you are moved to do when you are moved to do it.
1354 - For me, it is spirit that does the moving. I need no higher authority than that. Even if I thought that I did, there could be none. How can I know that I am not fooling myself? If I am, this is the most elaborate play that I have ever seen.
1355 - In some respects, the universe doesn't really care what we choose to create, it supports our decisions anyway.
1356 - We are the vehicles through which the universe, through which spirit acts in the world.
1357 - Creating the Foundations for a New World. At the bottom of every one of these musings it is clearly stated that this is what Beyond Imagination is here to do. However, so far these foundations have only been of words, of thoughts, of ideas, of ideals. Though the right words in the right minds at the right time are exactly what it takes to build the foundations necessary to change the world or in this case build a new world.
1358 - One of the guiding principles of this society is the principle of spiritual economy as expressed in: from each in accord with their abilities, to each in accord with their needs. The goal would be to reach a point where this guiding principle becomes a social contract among the members of the society.

1359 - I consider myself to be an explorer of consciousness. I expect to be involved in this grand endeavor in one way or another for the rest of my days. In fact, I consider this to be the most important job that I do.
1360 - I speak with an authority that comes from something greater than I consciously know myself to be. Yet, the words flow forth anyway. They are not conditioned by this is my opinion or any such words ... they come forth directly as if they were statements of fact.
1361 - Judge what is expressed by its utility. Ultimately that is the only criteria that is of any value. Though, consider not only the utility to you, but to the collective whole as well.
1362 - The time has come for us to get beyond our selfish considerations. That does not mean that we are not meant to take care of ourselves ... it just means that we should give consideration to helping others also.
1363 - I, I, I ... I speak in the first person singular because that is what I experience most of the time.
1364 - Reality is like that. It tends to conform to our beliefs of what will be. So, it is helpful if we believe in a reality that we truly want to experience. We don't have to lock down every detail. We probably couldn't even if we were to try. But, we need to get the general stuff right ... at least right for us.
1365 - One step at a time. With each step new vistas open up. Until we take each step, we don't know what comes next. I've been doing this for so long that it is OK with me. However, there is a sense that it has been OK, but will not continue to be so much longer.
1366 - It is time to expand my horizons a bit. To do that I need to take off the blindfolds and see further than I have ever seen. I need to see far enough ahead to be able to set overall priorities and plan my endeavors in line with those priorities
1367 - Cooperative interdependent endeavors are what the future calls for. That is how we build a better world. And, we do it one foundation at a time.
1368 - I desire for Beyond Imagination to grow into a cooperatively interdependent entity ... an organization focused on building the foundations for a new world in which spirit can more fully express in flesh.
1369 - This could easily involve hundreds, though I see my primary interactions being with a much smaller core group, at least at first. I still see myself as the "wind beneath my wings" type of person. I am comfortable with a role in the background. I don't need to be on center stage.
1370 - I am an old soul, perhaps even a transcendental one. Many things that are important to younger souls have no value for me. In some areas that makes me lazy. However, in other areas, especially the spiritual ... I am driven. It just depends.
1371 - Patience, patience, patience ... allow things to unfold in all their ripeness. We don't want to pick the fruit from the tree too soon. Allow the sun to nourish it until it is ripe enough to harvest.
25 July 2003
1372 - On 1 April 98, I was flying pretty high. I found it more interest to see the list of titles near the bottom of the page that identified what I do.
Metaphysician, Consultant, Teacher, Visionary, World Transformer, Wayshower, Spirit Enfleshed, Explorer, Systems Engineer, Master Builder, Writer, Spiritual Warrior, Creator.
1373 - That is quite some list! Though looking at it today, I would agree that every item on the list still applies ... and further, I will have contributed something significant in that area during my life if I haven't done so already.
1374 - There is something magical in this ... to know that each day we have done something of utility, even if we do not know for whom it will be useful.
1375 - That is part of what I mean by making each and every day count. We need to live our lives in a manner that we make a difference now.
26 July 2003
1376 - You have to be a bit crazy to live a spiritual life and to allow consciousness to express in your life as she will. But, there is nothing wrong in being a bit crazy ... we just need to keep it from going too far.
1377 - The dreamers among us have always been consider to be crazy. But, how many times have their dreams eventually become a reality?
1378 - Communities are groups of individuals who care enough about each other to be concerned with and stay involved in each others lives.
27 July 2003
1379 - Making a difference in the world matters. We need to leave the world a better place than we found it by virtue of our presence. This we can always do. It is a matter of having the resolve to do what it takes to do it.
1380 - A degree of awareness is a prerequisite for understanding much that is expressed here. With the proper awareness, the expression is obvious. Without it, the expression is laborious and confusing.
1381 - That is one of the signatures of spiritual expression, it is intuition-based. Reason is utilized and has its place, but it is not a primary means for revealing truth.
28 July 2003
1382 - What are you willing to do to see your works succeed? In a real way ... the question is what are you willing to do to see you succeed, for your works are you. The immediate answer was everything and anything. Yet, there are still things that take me out of my comfort zone that I am reluctant to do.
1383 - It all comes down to service. We give what we can, we take what we need, and we never take more than we give. When we do this there is abundance, and everyone wins.
1384 - This is my life. This is what I do with my free time, the time that really matters in my life. It remains important to capture this stream of consciousness. So long as this is true, I will continue to do it. I have no way of knowing whether this will be for another hour, another day, another week, another month, another year, another decade, or the rest of my life.
1385 - What matters is what I am moved to do in the moment. If I stay true to that, the future will take care of itself. We can only make a difference in the moment, HERE and NOW. That is the only place and time that ever exists for us.
29 July 2003
1386 - Who determines what is of value to society and of how much value? And, who pays the bills for the services rendered to society?
1387 - I serve as a willing vessel for source, the stream of consciousness that flows forth through me. As it was in the beginning, so it will be unto the end.
1388 - Ultimately, that is what counts in the end. What lives did you touch and how did you touch them?
30 July 2003
1389 - There is an intelligence that is involved in creating and expressing all of this that knows what has been expressed and ensures that only what needs to be replicated is replicated.
1390 - Some day I'm going to stare at the blank page and simply have nothing to say. Some day, but not today ... and not likely tomorrow either.
1391 - I will reach who I need to reach when I need to reach them. Spirit is orchestrating the show here. All that I can do is play my role to the best of my abilities. That is all that is asked of anyone. I almost said demanded but spirit doesn't make such demands. These she leaves for us to impose all by ourselves. And, what a mess we seem to make of it.
1392 - Each day of expression is an act of creation. We bring forth something that has never existed before. We make what we unknown known, what was unmanifest manifest ... even if it is only in words. Only words. But, the right words in the right minds at the right times stir people to take action that changes the world as we know it.
1393 - Such is the power of words. It is out of words that deeds are born. And, it is out of deeds that the world is transformed.
1394 - Consistency is not a requirement for living a spiritual life. In fact, if anything it can be somewhat of a hindrance.
1395 - Once again I sit here alone with consciousness as my only witness and companion. Perhaps I am not so alone after all. At least I have consciousness by my side coming forth as she will. It is not clear what I would do if I were completely on my own.
1396 - Here, the stream of consciousness flows forth as it will. In many ways, I am not in control of what gets expressed. Yes, it comes into my mind and is expressed through my fingers. But, in a very real way it is not mine. It does not belong to me. It comes through me, but is not of me. Yet, there is no other author for these words. There is no other entity to whom to attribute the words. It is Wayne that translates the energy that flows from source into these words. So, by all rights, he is the author.
31 July 2003
1397 - It seems that so long as I am willing to serve as a vessel of consciousness, I will always have plenty to say ... for it is not me saying it, it is consciousness herself. And, consciousness seems to know no such limitations.
1398 - I desire contact, but I also love my solitude. I would create a society but I am afraid to be among people except in precise ways that I control. Something has to give. What I say that I want to create is not congruent with the manner in which I am expressing.
1399 - I am saying the right words. And, in many cases even doing the right things. However, there is still something missing. I am acting from the perspective of the hermit that I AM. So long as I continue to do this, my reality will be limited to what that perspective allows. If I do it right, that can be a lot. But, a lot is not good enough for me. I know that there is more that I can do, that there is more that I can be.
1400 - We continue to engage in this endless expression of consciousness. We do it because we can and because we must. We do it because this is what we are moved to do by the spirit within us. We don't question why.
1401 - Beyond Imagination has grown into an entity in its own right. Yes, I gave it birth ... and I co-created most of what is expressed there with consciousness herself. But the ideas contained in the expression have a life of their own. They have the power to move readers to act in ways that make a difference, that ultimately change the world.
1402 - Consciousness just borrowed me for awhile to provide a means for allowing the expression to come forth. Why me? Because I was open and had the right skills to serve her in this manner. Why now? Because that is what I came to do now. There were several cosmic triggers that turned me on. But, once the awakening occurred, the level of awareness was such that I could be used in this manner.
--- AUGUST ---
1 August 2003
1403 - We are to live our lives fully in each moment, doing what we can do to make a difference in the lives of others and in our world.
1404 - Service to spirit is that special and that powerful. It can transform the world, if only we allow it to do so through us.
1405 - How do I find those who I am meant to work with in this endeavor? Are they searching for me as I am searching for them? How will we know when we have found one another? There will be no doubt, we will know. We will recognize that we are kindred spirits. We will recognize that we are brothers, sisters, cousins, uncles, aunts, parents, and grandparents in the same spiritual family
2 August 2003
1406 - When we live in the moment, there is no next ... there is only IS. If we would become something, we must simply be it. Rather than plan to do something, we must simply do it. We will be amazed by how simple and how powerful our lives become when we operate in this manner.
1407 - We know what to do and how to be. We've known all along. It is a matter of choosing to do it. Our lives are our creations. It is for us to create well and build the lives that we truly desire to live. This is within our power. It always has been.
1408 - In fact, we have created whatever circumstances we find ourselves in at the present time. Because we created them, we are free to change them. It is a matter of choice, and what we feel that we deserve in our lives. Yes, what we believe that we deserve is extremely important. This effectively throttles the abundance that we are able to receive.
1409 - The expression that is Beyond Imagination is meant to reach an audience somehow. Thus far, it has reached some, but nowhere near the numbers it is meant to ultimately reach. How can I know this? I just do. The amount of effort that is put into this expression suggests that it is intended to impact many. I just can't believe that consciousness would be doing all of this just for me.
1410 - The words are not enough. They must be backed by deeds. It is here that these works are distinguished from other works. We do what we can to make practical use of what is expressed. What matters is utility. What is important is what is useful here and now.
1411 - What are my hopes for Beyond Imagination? That it grows into an organization of many focused on building the foundations for a new world.
1412 - I need to be around others to provide the stimulation necessary to trigger me to act to a higher level. I know that I am capable of such. I have done it in the work environment many times. Here I am asking to do it in a social environment outside of work.
1413 - Where do I get the material that I express? I don't really know. It just comes forth. I don't question it anymore. At one time I did. But, the consistency is such that I simply accept it for what it is. I trust that it is expressing what I need to hear, and what others need to see expressed through me.
1414 - That is the power of a stream of consciousness expression. Its origin is a mystery. Mysteries are to be experienced, not understood. They strike our heart first, and then leave their impact on our brain.
1415 - Life itself is a mystery. The thought process is a mystery. The very means that we communicate is a mystery. Everywhere that we look in our lives, we are confronted by mysteries. There is nothing wrong with this. It is OK for our lives to have an element of the mysterious, of the magical in them. In fact, when they don't there is something seriously wrong.
1416 - Do today what can be done today. And, leave for tomorrow what is tomorrow's. You will know what that is intuitively.
3 August 2003
1417 - We can count on consciousness to do its part, but we must take the initiative and do ours as well. This is a mutual endeavor that we are creating.
1418 - I am a wayshower, here to facilitate the birth of a new age, here to build the foundations for a new world. Lofty goals yes ... but such I chose before incarnating this time. Yes, this carries with it a large mantle of responsibility. I know that, and I bear it faithfully.
1419 - What would we do next? The famous five word question. We continue to do as we are moved to do.
1420 - Ever onward, expressing whatever consciousness would bring forth next. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the expression.
1421 - This record takes you through the places where one consciousness has been. Hopefully you find it interesting and mind-expanding or more correctly consciousness-expanding.
1422 - These words are my gift to the world. Actually, they are spirits gift to the world with me as the essential conduit.
1423 - Most people allow circumstances to determine their state of mind. Masters choose their state of mind and then fashion the circumstances to conform with it.
1424 - If we want to be happy, we need to choose to do just that ... be happy. We should be able to be happy regardless of the circumstances that we face each day.
1425 - Life is such a precious gift. It is our duty to make the most of it ... to do the best with what we are given, and to do what we can to make things better for others as well.
1426 - When all is said and done, no one is going to ask where we lived or where we went to school or what experiences we had or what we owned or what our net worth was ... however, they are going to ask what we did to serve others that made a difference. Those are the things that are important. Those are the things that count.
4 August 2003
1427 - Here there is no doubt ... I choose to be extraordinary. To do this, the world needs some visibility into what I do. The Beyond Imagination site and books are starting points. However, much more is to be expressed before your time on the planet is over. Don't worry, we will be there to guide and assist you every step of the way. Consciousness helps its own in whatever ways it can.
1428 - Trust your intuition! I just heard that on the TV in the background. I don't know what the context was, but that particular advice is very sound indeed. It is our intuition that is our connection to source. When we start to trust it, we truly begin to live.
1429 - If only. We need to be careful not to live our lives in such a manner that we regret the if only's. If only we had done this, if only we had said that, if only we had experienced this, if only we had expressed that. We must live our lives with no regrets.
5 August 2003
1430 - Time is a precious commodity. It is one area where we are all equals. We each get 24 hours per day. What we do with that allotment of time distinguishes us. I like to do something that I consider to be of lasting value each day. I consider this expression to be in that category.
1431 - Spiritual services tend to work like that. They empower and enrich the ones that are providing the service. The greater the service, the greater the impact.
1432 - Well, at least so far as 2002 and 2003 go, if anyone were to ask what did you do of value in those years, I have a body of writings to point to both at the Beyond Imagination site and as Beyond Imagination books. I deem it to be of tremendous value, worthy of spending roughly 1000 hours per year on.
1433 - We create a better world by serving one another. Society should facilitate doing this. It should facilitate providing the greatest services for which we are capable in exchange for getting our needs met. At present it doesn't do this very well for the vast majority of the population.
1434 - We can accept that as the way things are ... or we can rebel and say that is not good enough, and demand that things improve. We don't have to wait for outside changes to start doing things differently. There are things we can do locally. We can trade and barter for goods and services for instance. Some people already do this with varying degrees of success. The bottom line is that the economy should serve us rather than enslave us.
1435 - I only ask that you judge the expression based on its merits and not on its source. For me, there is no higher authority than spirit, as revealed to us via our intuition. But that may not be good enough for some. They demand proof. Some things just don't work that way. They will not be subjected to our petty demands for proof. They require that we believe in something, often something intangible, something that has the power to work magic in our lives if we will only allow it to.
6 August 2003
1436 - When we operate in the now often there is no forewarning of what will be. It just magically happens in the present moment. Yes, life can be lived like that. However, most of us need more structure than that.
1437 - We are willing to give up some of the freedom in exchange for knowing some of what might happen. Some need far more structure than others. However all of us operate with some balance of structure and chaos in our lives that works for us. There is no set level that is right for everyone. Here, we are all different and must find what works best for us.
1438 - Information can be conveyed in books. But it takes something more, a frame of mind to turn that information into knowledge, and then to apply that knowledge in a manner that constitutes wisdom.
1439 - Also, there is another step. It is not enough to be wise, we must apply our wisdom in service.
1440 - The application of wisdom in service is what spirituality is all about.
1441 - Life is too short to stay away from our mission a moment more than we have to. That doesn't mean that we can't enjoy life and stop and smell the roses along the way. In fact, our lives work best when we do these things. We need to be grateful for each day, and treat it as the true gift that it is.
1442 - And, we need to do what we can to make sure we have done our fair share each day. That doesn't mean working every minute for 16 hours per day. However, it does mean working effectively for a reasonable period of time each day and accomplishing something.
1443 - We should take a measure of our productivity each day. Was what we produced worth the cost of our labor to the customer? We need the answer to this to be yes each day.
1444 - Service ... that is all that truly matters in life. In the end, what we will be known for is the service that we provided as reflected in the works that we have done. Everything else is the window dressing of life. But, the window dressing counts for a lot as well. It is not to be taken lightly.
7 August 2003
1445 - How do I transform this into something of greater service and benefit to society and the world? That is an important question to ask in nearly every endeavor that we are engaged in. How can we do this in a manner that provides greater service? In the end, it is the service that we provide that sets us apart, that distinguishes us. The more service, the better.
1446 - What makes me continue to come here to allow consciousness to express day in and day out for such extended periods of time. I am choosing to spend nearly 20 percent of my waking life on this endeavor. That is a huge investment. What is the return on that investment?
1447 - The biggest return is that I get to experience states of consciousness that I would otherwise not likely experience. Equally important is the fact that I am left with a product to show for my existence.
1448 - Why can I not just choose to be happy and be so? Is that not what reality creation is all about? Then why did the framers of the Constitution declare that the pursuit of happiness was an inalienable right. They did not say achievement of happiness, only its pursuit. And, what does a right to pursue something really grant to us?
1449 - Clearly I need to find more people willing to commit their time. And, why should spiritual work be free? This is great work that we are doing. It is work that is worth a lot. Why shouldn't it be well compensated? Here we are attempting to do a service to the world, a spiritual service of great value. Why is this any less important than the services of a lawyer, or a doctor, or an actor, or an athlete? The bottom line is that it isn't!
8 August 2003
1450 - We need only to trust the process of spirit unfolding and expressing through us and allow it to lead us on whatever path is appropriate for us. It will not be the path. There is no one path right for everyone. But it will be a path that is valuable for us and those whom we touch in our lives. We are also free to decide on our own path. However, it seems much easier if we steer the course that spirit sets for us.
1451 - Each moment of expression, we leave a record of where consciousness has been ... at least that part of consciousness that could be expressed through us. Each day we have something concrete to show for the fact that we have lived. You may say that it is only words. But the right words expressed in the right way can move people to commit deeds that ultimately change the world. Words can be that powerful; they are not to be taken lightly.
9 August 2003
1452 - Life is a precious gift. It is a special gift, one that needs to be revered and respected. That requires going through life with a proper frame of mind ... a proper state of consciousness. Yet, from what I have seen to date the processes for finding these proper states are haphazard at best, assuming that processes exist at all.
1453 - Many seem unaware of the need to find and develop such states. Yet, it is the flexibility of our consciousness and the states of mind that we are able to achieve that determine much of our value in the times ahead. It has always been important ... but the nature of the new age makes it extremely important.
1454 - The bottom line is that it is not how long that we have lived that matters, it is how well we have lived ... and, in particular what difference our life made to others and the world.
1455 - There are many ways to make a difference. It is up to us to find the unique ways that are right for us. This is not difficult to do. Start by finding those things that you love to do. Then find ways to apply them in service. The greater the service the better.
1456 - There is always a way to be of service. Usually, there are many ways ... so we want to optimize the amount of service generated. The more service, the greater the benefit to society.
1457 - Intuition is a very powerful part of the self. It is meant to be used as much if not more than reason. It is a direct tie to knowledge and knowing where the rational mind often is only able to deal in the realm of facts and information.
10 August 2003
1458 - Each of us have filters that serve as glasses through which we perceive the world. These filters are primarily systems of beliefs about what matters and what is important to us in the world. Those are the things that we pay the most attention to. This is simply how the process works. It is the natural means by which we attract the reality that we experience.
1459 - Building the foundation for a new world is no easy task. It is a task of great world import. It is a task that requires the very best from each of us. And, the very best is the spiritual within each of us. It is the spiritual that desires to be of service to our fellow beings.
1460 - What more can I give and to whom? That is a useful question to ask ourselves from time to time. What more can we do to serve? I heard an ad for mentoring on the radio today. That helps individuals one at a time. I would hope that my impact could be more than that.
1461 - Yet, doesn't change start with impacting one individual at a time? Though, if we can change the infrastructures ... we can change the very environment that nurtures us all. When we change the environment, everything changes. For instance, if the economy can provide abundance for everyone ... that frees people from the concerns of making a living and allows them to focus their attention on things that really matter.
11 August 2003
1462 - This is spiritual work we are doing. It is unlike our normal jobs. It needs to have a high return on investment ... in particular, a two-fold return in terms of the services rendered to the community and the fulfillment provided from participation in the endeavor. The first of these makes the endeavor worthwhile to others. The second of these makes the endeavor worthwhile to those of us who engage in it.
12 August 2003
1463 - What do I have that I can commit? What I have to give is the most precious gift of all ... whom that I AM and the services that I am able to provide. Ultimately, that has to be enough.
1464 - When we allow them to, things have a way of working themselves out naturally. It is a matter of simply allowing them to unfold in our lives.
1465 - We can also make things happen. This can come across as forceful. At times, that is perfectly OK. However, we need to make sure we take into account the impacts of our creations on others. Along with the power of reality creation comes the responsibility for all that we create. This includes responsibility not just for the impacts of what we create on us ... but for all of the impacts of what we create.
1466 - Spirit primarily expresses through consciousness. Consciousness is everything. Without consciousness we would cease to exist as aware beings.
13 August 2003
1467 - Continuous process improvement should be a way of life. But, for that you need to have defined processes.
1468 - We each have things that make us special, things that we are meant to use to serve others. That is ultimately what gives our life meaning and purpose. We might serve family, friends, community, society, country, or even the world.
1469 - Belief management is the process of controlling beliefs so that they serve us and result in reality that we choose to experience. It is our responsibility to manage our beliefs. No, this was not taught to me in 17 plus years of formal education. How can that be?
1470 - How is it that we are not taught about such important things? Many go through their entire lives and never figure it out. That is a shame. It seems that we owe it to our citizenry to share the word ... to inform people of these spiritual truths that can empower them to live more aware and enlightened lives.
1471 - Why can't we just accept things as they are, and allow them to unfold as they will naturally? The chief reason is that the plan calls for us to be an active part of the evolution of consciousness, the evolution of spirit expressed in flesh. It has taken thousands of years to get us to this point. We are at a breakpoint, where a whole new level of awareness is to be manifest.
14 August 2003
1472 - I'm about fed up with network TV as well due to the amount of commercials per show that one has to put up with. Yes, the commercials are what pay the bills. Or, more correctly, we the consumers pay the bills by buying the products and services that the commercials hawk.
1473 - In the present economy, the bottom line is that we, the consumers, pay for everything. Most people don't think about that when they hear the astronomical amounts that some of the stars make per episode for the most popular shows.
1474 - We need more choices as to what we can do with our time. Being entertained is not the most productive use of our time and our talents. For that, we need to do something, preferably something creative.
15 August 2003
1475 - Our focus is meant to be on the present. What can we do here and now to make a difference? Though, our considerations should include the difference that we make over time.
1476 - Our actions in the moment can have ramifications that stretch into eternity. In our considerations of alternative courses of actions we need to consider the long term impacts in addition to the near term ones
1477 - What we do makes a big difference in the world. We need to remember that. Thoughts without actions are mere passing fancies. It is when we take action that the forces of creation are invoked. Whether positively, negatively, or neutrally depends on our actions.
1478 - Don't get me wrong, this is not to say that thoughts don't have power. The right thoughts at the right time can move many to take action. It is through such thoughts that the world will ultimately be transformed. We need to give people empowering thoughts that replace some of the ones that they presently hold about themselves, the world, and the nature of reality.
1479 - If our actions are to have impact, we must be connected to others somehow. The more richly connected, the more impact that we are likely to have. However, the more richly connected, the more difficult to predict the exact nature of the impact.
1480 -That is OK. We are not necessarily doing things for the impacts that they will have. We do things because we are moved by spirit to do them ... damn the consequences. The consequences will be what they will be, and we will be responsible for them ... but they are not to be a primary concern. The bottom line is that we must do what we must do. Such is our spiritual obligation. But, how do we know what this is? We go inside and seek until we find the answer.
1481 - This is one thing that is clearly available inside of us. At any time, source / consciousness knows what is right for us to be doing. We can access and abide by that knowingness, or we can ignore it ... that is our choice. Life flows far smoother when we access and abide be it however.
1482 -There is nothing that says that life has to flow smoothly. It can if that is desired, but it seems that most people need to encounter challenges in their lives that make them far from smooth sailing. Each one of us makes choices in this area that are right for us ... that agree with our preferences.
16 August 2003
1483 - Spiritual work is as deserving of compensation as any other kind of work. Perhaps even more so because of its value.
1484 - The way we transform the world is through service. It is that simple. Service is a different way of looking at our relationship to the world. When we think in terms of how we can serve, we engage the highest within us. Service takes us away from our intense focus on self. OK, some of us are more intensely focused on self than others. Though was not the directive over Plato's Academy the equivalent of "Know Thyself" in Greek?

1485 - Spirit is on our side. She will guide us to do what needs to be done. Further, she knows the specific roles that each of us are here to play so she is in the best position to assign the work to be done. We will get such assignments through our own intuition.
1486 - One of the characteristic behaviors of awakened beings is precisely that ... we share. The greatest things that we have to share are whom that we are and what consciousness would express through us. These we share freely to the degree that we can with the world. That is what Beyond Imagination is all about. And, I am not alone. There are others who would serve humanity by sharing in this same manner.
1487 - The specifics of what we have to share may be different, but many of the general themes are the same. They deal with what it takes to manifest community in a world that is ONE. They deal with awakening to the spirit within us and allowing the greatest expression that can come forth through us to manifest. They deal with what it takes to for spirit to more fully manifest in flesh through us.
1488 - That is the objective of the game of life after all ... the expression of spirit in flesh; as fully as can be expressed by us at any given time.
1489 - Making a difference is what it is all about. If we live our life alone, in isolation ... our impact is limited at best. We have to find a way to reach out somehow, to do something to contribute to our society and our world.
1490 - Consciousness is everything. All of life is the expression of consciousness, of spirit, in flesh. The challenge is how to allow consciousness to more fully express in flesh. We can do this individually. But, more importantly, we can do this collectively. It is the collective expression that will ultimately characterize the age.

1491 - We've had plenty of practice with giving consciousness free reign to express as she will. And she has done that admirably. But, this only takes us so far. We need to focus the effort to take it to the next level ... and in particular to start to create the foundations for a new world.
1492 - We need to show why a new world is needed. Then, we need to demonstrate that the principles for creating it are within our grasp.
1493 - Collectively, we have great power. We have the power to make the world into anything that we want it to be. However, we must realize that this power is ours ... and that we have the responsibility for doing something with it.
1494 - We could sit back and wait for things to happen. However, we might find it more enjoyable to engage in the process of creating the reality of our dreams. The process is truly beyond imagination.
1495 - Focus on the here and now and allow the to be to take care of itself. Natural laws are unfolding here. And spiritual laws as well. We need to allow these to work and not get in the way. Sometimes this can be difficult. We believe that we know specifically what needs to happen and when. Perhaps we do, perhaps not.
1496 - We need to be careful about where our certainty comes from. Sometimes we believe that we know far more than we really know. At other times, we actually know far more than we believe that we know. It is important to learn to detect the difference. That is part of what self-knowledge is all about.
19 August 2003
1497 - I've found that life flows much smoother if we allow what spirit would manifest in our life to happen and embrace that wholeheartedly. Spirit knows far better what we need at any given time than we do from our more limited perspective. That means letting go a little, perhaps even a lot. But there are great benefits for doing so.
1498 - We speak of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom from want, freedom from fear, and even freedom of enterprise. All of these are valuable, especially the third and fourth, but the most important freedom is one that can never be taken from us ... the freedom to be whom that we are. All that this requires is courage and passion.
1499 - Life is meant to be lived with passion. There is always something to be passionate about, something that moves us deeply. We need to search and find what that is for us and then do what we can to manifest it in our lives.
20 August 2003
1500 - There is nothing that says that we have to be comfortable with everything in our lives. Some things we simply have to do anyway. We will know what these are. We will know what is important and what is not important. How will we know? We'll just know. This is something that we have to find inside ourselves.
1501 - I have read over 1000 metaphysical books. Nothing that I have read provided a pattern or example for the material that I express. That doesn't mean there aren't similar expressions out there ... just that I have not encountered them yet.
21 August 2003
1502 - My life is still a highly solitary one. Yes, that is my choice. That is, it is the result of the choices that I make regarding how I interact with people on a day to day basis. Interesting. I hadn't really thought about it like this. However, if I want to see different results in my life I'm going to have to make different choices and do different things.
1503 - It is as if I am the stranger in a strange land. This is not my home. I am not from here. I just happen to be here now.
1504 - All of this keeps me from being a part of the world. In fact, it keeps me apart from the world. This expression is the one major exception that I grant myself. Here I openly express whatever would come forth. Further, I will answer any questions honestly to the degree that I can based on my understanding and awareness.
1505 - By their nature, beliefs deal with the gray areas where we don't know whether something is true or false. If we already know something, it is fact ... there is no room for belief.
1506 - Beliefs are a playground for reality creation. There are many apparatus in the playground. It is for us to learn how to use them safely so that we can enjoy what they can do for us.
1507 - Belief management is a skill that we should all learn. It would make living our lives much easier. It is through our beliefs that we create our reality. Though, how many really know this? How many look to beliefs as the first place to change when they want to change their reality?
1508 - There is a destiny that is unfolding in my life now. It is not a destiny that I am choosing to manifest, rather it is a destiny that I am choosing to allow to manifest. The difference is that I don't consciously know what I'm doing and why much of the time. I only know that I'm doing what I'm moved to do in the moment.
1509 - It's too bad that reality can't change as quickly as the images in our imagination. Though, it seems that the time from thought to realization is getting shorter and shorter.
22 August 2003
1510 - My life will be defined by the services that I was able to perform to spirit ... to society ... to humanity ... and even to the world. Yes, I dream big. I accept responsibility on a grand scale. I do so because such is what I am here to do.
1511 - Is all of this worth listening to? Or, are these the rantings of a madman? I have to believe that while I may be walking on the fine edge of sanity at times, that I haven't crossed over the line yet ...
1512 - Life provides the opportunity for consciousness to express in flesh. The mind/body is the form. Consciousness is the chief occupant. When we die ... the consciousness departs and enters another realm where it can evaluate what it has done and learned, and where it can determine what it chooses to do next.
1513 - We need to be able to free people to work on building the foundations for a new world. This means buying their energy, their ideas, and their time.
1514 - We should be willing to pay people for spiritual work ... as much, if not more, than we pay people for work in the private sector. It is not clear that there is comparable or equivalent work. If we build the foundations correctly, everyone benefits ... everyone prospers ... everyone wins. That makes this some of the most important work that there is.
23 August 2003
1515 - So, what about the technology of consciousness? It seems it is still in its infancy, even though it has been studied and practiced in the East for several millennia and in the West for over two millennia. Then, why has so little progress been made?
1516 - The bottom line is that we make progress where we apply energy and resources ... and we just haven't chosen to apply them here yet.
1517 - Is it the majority that determines what gets done in this country? It seems not. The movers and the shakers have always been a small minority.
1518 - Unless one enters the arena with an attitude of service, much is lost and there is great potential for damage. The benefit of one should never be at the cost of many. There is just something wrong about this. We need to find ways that are WIN/WIN for all involved.
24 August 2003
1519 - There is an inner sense that I am to live a life that has world impact. And, here, I see the impact coming in how it impacts each individual. Yes, it is audacious of me to believe that I will have such impact. But, it is indeed what I believe nonetheless. And, as I believe, so shall it be. That is pretty audacious as well. But, we create our own reality individually and en masse. And, my sense is that I have much to contribute to the reality that is created en masse.
1520 - How do we determine what our efforts are worth? Right now, it seems the only option is to allow the free market to determine the worth of the goods or services that we supply via our efforts. However, that means finding a way to offer ones services within the market. It is not clear that I have really done that yet ... not wholeheartedly anyway.
25 August 2003
1521 - What is the difference between serving the world and serving the people of the world? Can you do one without doing the other? Can you serve the whole without serving the parts, or serve the parts without serving the whole as well?
1522 - Reality has a way of conforming to our expectations. Not surprising given that such is how we create it. However, our expectations must be more than pipe dreams. They must be things that we are willing to work to achieve if necessary.
1523 - Just wishing for something most likely won't make it so. We have to take the next step and do something about it. For one thing, we have to believe that we are worthy of receiving what we wish for. Otherwise, it is unlikely that it will manifest. Also, we have to be willing to do what it takes to achieve what we want ... with the exception of harming others.
1524 - We are held accountable for both what we do and what we could have done that we chose not to do.
1525 - "If you build it they will come ..." I firmly believe that line from the movie Field of Dreams. But what is it that I am building and who is it that I am expecting to come? I would build the foundations for a new world. And, I would expect those who are meant to be the major players in the new world order to come see what I am building. Wow!
1526 - That is expecting a lot. Indeed, that is expecting more than my present station in life seems to entitle me to. If I'm going to interface with the movers and shakers of the day ... I need an appropriate status that allows me to get in the door if you will.
29 August 2003
1527 - There are always easy ways to do things if only we will look for and seek them out. It is not that we are trying to get out of anything. It is a matter of doing those things that we must do in as optimal of a way as we can.
1528 - How do we turn on the abundance pump? It seems that we need to prime it with actions based on beliefs. It is not clear that I am doing that consistently. I am coming from a just enough mentality rather than an abundance mentality. Just enough is only one step above a scarcity mentality.
1529 - When we want to introduce something to many ... we have to think like many. We have to hit them in a way that they will recognize as meaningful to them.
1530 - Start a class ... you teach best what you most need to learn. That would be one way of getting people to read the Beyond Imagination books. Use them as textbooks for a class in Spiritual Expression, Consciousness, and Reality Creation. This is clearly something that you are qualified to teach.
1531 - Through the class, you might even find those you are meant to join forces with to create the foundations for a new world. You never know until you try. The effort opens up all kinds of avenues of opportunity.
1532 - Give people a chance to find you. Yes, to some extent you have already done that. But, not everyone is "connected". Some that you are meant to touch do not access the internet or WWW.
30 August 2003
1533 - How do I turn what I love to do into my full time occupation? Is that in the cards for me in this existence? This expression is unique. It is the expression of consciousness through me. OK, but that could be said of all books. They are all creative expressions. They are all works of consciousness. What makes this any different? Primarily, that this deals with a stream of consciousness in expression. All of its organization, all of its flow, all of its content are dictated by consciousness.
1534 - Consciousness points the way for you to go beyond yourself and experience things you never knew to be parts of you. In integrating these parts, you become more whole ... more aware. You come closer to knowing thyself ... step by step. You can proceed at whatever pace you are comfortable with.
1535 - Spirit doesn't force us to do anything. She gently nudges and encourages us along the path that is right for us. However, it is for us to take each step when we are ready.
1536 - I keep asking what next, expecting that an answer will be forthcoming. But, to date, the only answer is the standard one: do what you are moved when you are moved to do it. That is the directive of spirit. That is how I am to live my life. It has been this way from the beginning.
1537 - We don't spend nearly enough time on know thyself. This is by far the most important aspect of our education. Yet, 99 percent plus of what I learned in this area came outside of the tradition school environment. To me, that suggests that we have a serious problem in what our schools teach. Looking at the many problems in society and the world ... this is not surprising. Without self-realized individuals, society and the world suffer greatly.
31 August 2003
1538 - The expression that is Beyond Imagination is going public and it is doing so in a big way. It is only a matter of time before we see some of the things that we are doing succeed.
1539 - I invite feedback and contact. If you feel you are meant to be part of this somehow, please introduce yourself and let's explore what we might be meant to do together.
1540 - What does this stream of consciousness show you? How different or similar is it to your own stream of consciousness?
1541 - If I want to lay in a particular future ... it seems that I need to do some sort of planning. This will allow present actions to be synchronized with what we desire to be.
1542 - How do we differentiate what is from what is to be? What are the steps to get from the former to the later? We can rely on spirit and simply do what we are moved to do when we are moved to do it. Or, we can take more conscious responsibility and make it our jobs to figure our what some of the steps need to be and then choose to take them. Either way works. The issue is one of conscious responsibility.
1543 - Imagine what you want to be. Envision it as clearly as you can. Then act in accord with this vision to the degree that you can. Your actions will be the seeds that allow the stuff of your imagination to be realized.
That concludes our selection of best quotes for this period. The total came to 1543 – 883 = 660. That is 6:66(99), a form of the Beast in 78 + 21:The World Exalted base. It would have blown me away more had the total come out to be 666 in its own right but oh well, it is what it is.
1543 is 17 to 16 = The Star to The Tower. This is also 17 - 216 = 17 – 6 x 6 x 6. There we have another form of 666.
It is amazing how often that happens. It seems to come up everywhere I look, not just with 666 but with a variety of what have become important numbers or signature numbers for me. They are numbers that let me know that I need to be paying closer attention to what spirit is telling me through the symbols in my life.
Anyway, hopefully you found the selected passages as moving as I did. Perhaps even moving enough to want to return to them from time to time. That is the most that we can hope for from the children of our mind … that they inspire people and move them to act in ways that serve themselves and serve others. Remember:
Do
what you are
moved to do,
when
you are
moved to do it.
and
“Never
take more
than you give.”
I AM
THAT I AM
THAT YOU ARE!
Wayne
CONCLUSION
I hope this second four month stream of consciousness expression was of benefit to you. I hope that it challenged what you believe about yourself and the nature of consciousness. I hope that it opened your eyes and your mind to some new possibilities and enables you to see the world differently as a result. Remember, my way is just one way. It is clearly not the only way … and it is clearly not for everyone. Take from it what you will. Let utility be your guide. Use whatever you find of value and leave the rest for another day or perhaps even another life … if ever.
It still amazes me how all of this can come forth through me so fluidly. Consciousness desires to be expressed. I happen to be a suitable vessel for that expression … at least for this manner of that expression. Words are my forte. This is what I love doing. I can’t imagine any better work to engage my heart and my soul in. Hopefully that is obvious from the quality of the expression.
If you are moved by what you have found here do take the time to provide feedback. Especially so, if you feel yourself to be a kindred spirit and relate to the task of building the foundations for a new world.
