The Divine Design was a poem I wrote about ten years ago. It is actually more of a spoken word piece, and has has been performed in public on three occasions and was well recieved. I have never heard it myself, but it generates a lot of power and I get extremely 'pumped' whenever I recite it even if it is only silently to myself; in full delivery I can feel the words echo in my lungs. Technically it is more like a manifesto or mission statement, but I simply think of it as the spoken word. More >

The nature of the mind, when understood,
No human words can compass or disclose.
Enlightenment is naught to be obtained,
And he that gains it does not say he knows.
---Bodhidharma
It is the stars not known to science that I would know,
the stars which the lonely traveler knows.
---Henry David Thoreau
As long as you haven't experienced
This: to die and so to grow,
You are only a troubled guest
On the dark earth.
---Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

For Martha~~~
This morning, beautiful and clear after a night of roaming thunderstorms, I walked slowly down to the garden with a container of eggshells, coffee and tea grounds. This we deposit on the soil for its enrichment. There at one end were 5 perfect tiger swallowtails in a cluster, feeding in one spot. What could it mean, and what could they be doing? There was dampness there, but no more or less particularly than anywhere else. Their amazing tongues were exploring and enjoying something seemingly...but who knows? Maybe they have a season of their lives in which they simply want to gather as a species, to appreciate themselves and each other. But is that too much emotion with which to credit an insect...especially a solitary one? It might be that in the next day or 2, there will be great mating activity and our garden was like a soda fountain or dance at which young butterflies check each other out. More >

Moonlit Reverie
A wishing star clings to the heavens above
Shining on the ones I love
Remember in small things you’re blessed
Come put your weary heart at rest More >

In the last week or two, I have heard more and more people tell me how they feel an increasing level of anxiety, depression and overall gloom. I have wondered if it was simply the weird weather we have had this spring, or if there is something else afoot. However in the last couple of days I too have felt this same sense - a perception of "gathering darkness". More >

The Reluctant Visionary
I was attending a meditation/metaphysics class taught by an older gentleman from my reiki group. I was not one to do a lot of meditation and I felt it would do me good to learn a bit about the process. So I started sitting quietly from time to time, emptying my thoughts and relaxing. More >

When do you believe in yourself? In my reiki group I have a dear friend, an older gentleman who has experienced many spiritual things. We had been discussing the Cherokee. Now, many debate the origins of this group. He had some dreams regarding this and was curious. More >

Max points to the Institute for the Study of Peak States, which of particular interest has an interesting list of peak states, categorized in various ways, and marked according to their probablity of occuring in the general population. Stuff like:'Underlying Happiness' state
• Characteristics: A feeling of happiness underlies all other feelings. It exists simultaneously even with difficult feelings such as sadness or anger. In women, a continuous loving feeling is more dominant, although the happiness is still present.
• Cause: Heart and body brains fused together.
• Comment: Doesn't stop the past from feeling emotionally traumatic.
• Frequency: Estimated 9% relatively continuously, additional 12% recognize it.
'Big Sky' state
• Characteristics: The world feels huge. Looking at the sky, it feels gigantic. Your boundaries disappear, especially above your head.
• Cause: Body, mind and Buddha brains fused together. The sensation of the huge sky is from a body sensation of the relative distance between objects and one's body.
• Comment: I'm not sure if I've accurately analyzed this state. Treat it as possibly being due to some other phenomenon. More work needs to be done on it.
• Frequency: Not determined.
'Brains Communicate' state
• Characteristics: The three brains can communicate with each other. Brains interact like a dysfunctional family.
• Cause: All the brains' awarenesses are touching and in communication.
• Comment: A useful intermediate state, but not as valuable or dramatic as a fused one. In a Perry diagram, the circles all overlap slightly.
• Frequency: Estimated 12% relatively continuously, additional 23% recognize it.
'Deep Peace' state
• Characteristics: Deeper peaceful feeling than the Beauty Way. A feeling of being balanced, evenness, no irritation. Feels like the physical heart is lower in the body. Feel more lightweight. Not effortless, but not as bad as normal consciousness. Brains are aware of each other, can communicate directly, and you are aware of each simultaneously.
• Cause: Brains' awarenesses are superimposed, but not completely fused. No hollow sensations in the body.
• Comment: An intermediate state that we don't try to get.
• Frequency: Not determined.
'Hollow' state
• Characteristics: Body feels hollow inside the skin. All parts of the body feel 'continuous'. Emotions have a cognitive rather than affective quality.
• Cause: All brains fuse together.
• Comment: Chakras are not merged. Brains are not connected to the Realm of the Shaman.
• Frequency: Estimated 7% relatively continuously, additional 12% recognize it.
'Wholeness' state
• Characteristics: The word 'wholeness' is the most accurate for this state, and is used spontaneously by people acquiring it. A feeling of being complete, with nothing missing. Music is especially vivid.
• Cause: A fusion of the placental and sperm tail 'energy' or 'awarenesses' with the other triune brains.
• Comment: The sensation of wholeness exists independently of the state of fusion of the other brains.
• Frequency: Not determined. Well, I do recognize some of those. Anyway, they seem to be aiming for ways of allowing people to spend more time in such peak states. Which would be splendid, of course. More >

Have you noticed Angels are becoming the subject of more and more books and movies, television shows, and songs?
These are often *true* stories of personal encounters with angels, and the numbers are growing exponentially, by the hundreds and thousands.
If you're unaware of what's been written about angels,
the many books, movies and television programs, if you're unaware of the music composed for and about (and sometimes *by*) angels... then I recommend that you open up to the truth that the gates of heaven are opening to you.
Angels have been manifesting in the earthly realm,
the courts of heaven have been filling with human beings who have entered unto the gates with praise to find heaven is not in some other place or time, Heaven is Here and Now.
Heaven is becoming the reality of life
for so many people.
I am asked to refer you to this verse:
Rev 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."
Yes, there is a new heaven and a new earth,
for they are not what we thought,
and so the heaven we come to know is earthly,
and the earth we come to know is heavenly.
I am experiencing heaven first-hand so I know this is true.
The last line of Revelations 21:1, however, I could not comprehend.
Can I accept a world without the sea?
I love the sea, and without the sea, earth would not seem so heavenly...
but just now, as I read this verse,
I was given a vision and asked to share it with you,
so that those of you who have ears to hear and eyes to see will understand it too.
The sea will be no more.
This is because as we become beings of light,
with a brilliance of light,
and a lightness of being,
we manifest a world of light.
As more of us manifest the world of light,
we manifest heaven as our realm of existence,
which many of us already experience.
This is complete with angels, miracles,
love, abundance, peace, joy, creative powers,
beauty, and everything heavenly.
The waters too will "lighten"
the seas will become "lighter",
less heavy
and instead more heavenly.
This is why the sea will be no more.
We will be in a new realm,
a new heaven,
where we are light
and float in an atmosphere of light water.
Some of you have already experienced this,
some of you have seen it in visions,
and know this is what is to come.
The sea will be no more,
because the sea will lighten to become our new world of light,
our new world of lightness,
our new world of perfect heaven,
where food is abundant,
water is precipitous and instantaneous.
Heaven is here and now.
Believe it, embrace it.
Heaven on earth embraces heavenly air and earthly waters to render a new heaven and a new earth.
*Serendipity* (they have explained) *is* as we had intuitively felt, the spontaneous manifestation of our desires, and is brought on by the power of the spirit of life, the spirit of light, the heaven of eternal truth, the light of life that is the essence of our being.
As we move our heart and mind and all of our life into the kingdom of heaven, as we commit our heart and mind to truth, as peace, love, and joy precedes our every thought, guiding our words and actions, we feel, see, experience heaven.
Our collective consciousness embraces the physical realm and spiritual realm as ONE life, and our earthly experience becomes heavenly.
Rather than thinking of the spiritual life as being "after death" while earthly life is that of the "living"
we choose to embrace Christ Consciousness as the brilliant intelligence of everything in existence,
as the brilliant omniscience of the unified field
the intelligence of all life,
human life, plant life, and mineral life
(yes, minerals are INTELLIGENT...
if it weren't for the brilliant life force in iron,
magnesium, and other minerals, you would be dead,
so kindly give credit where credit is due)
Heaven is Here and Now
Share the love and joy, the truth and peace that flows from your soul, release all else as the illusion that it is.
Embrace heaven on earth as your eternal life.
