Harmony's Way

When every point is the center of the universe, every move you make requires that all else realign.

What then is the center of your being?

Your mind.

The gentlest shift is in the mind.

The mind that knows it's choice has reserved its place. The universe will shift place and time to accommodate its center.

That is harmony's way.

The right opportunities come when Destiny is called.

You chafe at the walls around you, but truth is you avoid the doors. You are here because you haven't decided to make a change.

Crazy Cat

The mind can forget in an instant everything it knows.

Like a dream it believes what it perceives.

We are lost in the layers of the onion of temporal reality.

Healing.

Living on this earth right now we are each and every one of us lost in a masquerade.

We have no choice but to believe what we see feel and hear.

The healing process may take lifetimes.

At the core of reality, this all takes place in an instant.

You are living outside of your Self.

That is like a wound, a great mental trauma.

The shock of this has created a separation, a mental chasm.

You are living outside of your Mind.

Looking out at an insane world, you define you as a part of it.

Here's a secret:  it does not exist without you

Healing You

The story of your life is about to be told.

You are here to be healed.

You will learn to love.

You will kiss away the pain.

You will bloom like a flower.

When you make something whole you are healing your self.

Each child you bless dwells in your heart.

You will rejoin the stars.

You will love from afar.

It is a gentle hand that heals.

A loving heart and soft voice mends the wounded soul.

The animal kingdom is the realm of emotion.

Love and Joy reign.

A man or woman has mastered this domain when the kingdom is ruled by these.

An X in Time

X marks the spot: The Here-Now

Take it apart:  > <   ><   > < 

Greater than > 

Less than < 

Moving forward > The right arrow. 

Looking backwards <  The left arrow 

Time moves > 

The X is a point in Time defined by what is After > and Before <

The Here-Now seems real but it does not exist except as a concept. 

That fleeting moment of space-time in a universe that does not stand still cannot be captured. 

The moment you think of now it has already passed. Here is never here again on a whirling planet, revolving around a star that lives in a moving Galaxy. 

In physics this is expressed by the realization that it is impossible to measure BOTH the location and velocity of moving subatomic particles. The manifested particles vibrate between moving waves and static particles. Yet they are both wave and particle. 

It cannot be precisely measured. Google: The Uncertainty Principle

These particles which still appear into and out of nowhere align to form the building blocks of matter. No matter how solid an object appears, it is subatomically a collection of moving particles. 

The universe copies this pattern on a progressively grander scale. 

Our reality then is a movie. If a film were stopped and you look at one frame, it's meaning would be lost without the context of the surrounding frames. It's just a snapshot, a moment in time captured. A still. It has no movement. It obeys the Uncertainty Principle. Run the film and each snapshot blurs as a collective meaning gains expression. 

The message is invalid without the observer: You

The film is your life. Your subjective experience is the value added. 

X marks the spot but you can't ever catch it. Every moment is Here-Now. It's kind of like the wave/particle. It is both fluid and static and impossible to isolate. 

This inconsistency, the hallmark of Relativity, makes everything nebulous, ever-changing, grey, shifting, elusive, dare we finally say it: not real

The speed of light is constant, unchanging and therefore True. 

There are true concepts, but most expressions in our reality are imperfect, inconsistent and thus False. 

Without light, we cannot even see the film. It shines through each frame and projects relativity for us to experience. 

This leaves us with three players: Light, which is True. Relativity, which is False. The Observer, which is The Collective Consciousness (you and me). 

The creators of the three players are hidden behind this manifestation. 

The creators can be defined as Mind, and the Observer is mind. The Light is True and unchanging. The Relativity is False and thus responsive to mind. It is an interactive, subjective experience, and even this has been seen in the physics lab. 

It is a world made up of Thought. Thoughts are made up of light. The Cosmos is nothing more than God's clothing made up of Thought and Light. It is his outfit. Our little thoughts, stitches in the garment, if you please, render the garment here and there as we observe and are absorbed by the fascinating light show. 

Getting back to X. You can't capture an illusion, but you can use it the Here-Now to center your self, adjust your perception, when you need to separate yourself from the film. 

The Reality of Pain

It's a message. The body's pain is relayed by messengers to the brain. It's a system designed to alert you to danger. It's not a punishment. Its physical, not moral.

The emotional body's pain sometimes is relayed and experienced through physical symptoms. This is the well-known mind-body connection.

Controlling the messengers controls the pain. Some medicines do this by blocking the receptors so your brain stops receiving the body's messages of pain. Other medicines or drugs do this by divorcing your brain from its emotions, or suppressing chemicals the body produces during times of anxiety, grief, or depression. The drugs attempt to regulate what you feel.

The fact is your reality is what you can feel. If you don't perceive it, it isn't real for you. This is more than a neat trick of science. It is the tip of the iceberg of our reality.

Sickness, or disease (dis ease) is a state of unrest. The universe is a manifestation of the collective consciousness. Attempting to control it is futile and exhausting. Recognizing your own point in it is your only safe harbor. Drop anchor and center the self within the sea of consciousness. It will move about you harmlessly for you no longer engage. Reality becomes something you observe and engage at will.

Every thought in the universe abounds around you. You engage only the thoughts and ideas you want. The others you let float away. Your reality is of your choosing.

Every manifestation of consciousness is there for you to engage and make it real, to you. Or you can choose to remain centered and not engage.

The pain is when you are dis eased. When you play with the universe, it plays back. When you fight it, you have taken on a massive giant.

The pain is what makes it real to you. Nobody will ever convince you it is an illusion when it hurts. The pain messengers convince you of reality. It's real because my senses tell me it is real. When your senses can be played with so easily, then reality is just a matter of perception. Reality is individual, subjective and inconstant.

You control that when you control You.

Here is the power of the I AM.

This is a statement about your reality. It declares your kingdom. It affirms your rulership (ruler ship) over your life, your experience, your reality. Your mind is the captain of that ship. It makes the rules. I AM is an affirmation of that power.

I AM healthy. I AM well. I AM happy.

Your ship has dropped anchor, the I AM anchor, and the waves of temporal reality will wash around you. You will observe them. So long as you are mindful that you are the captain of the ship, you will select the flow and wind that matches your destination before you raise anchor and raise your sails again.

The pain is a message. You have mentally or physically engaged in a negative situation and made it real to you. The captain in rough seas will get to port, or find a safe harbor, drop anchor and save the ship. The most experienced captain avoids the storms.

Pain is a message. It means you have made something real, or engaged something. If you are sick, dis eased, it may be a message from your inner consciousness, something that you have cleverly blocked, telling you that you are unhappy. Many times physical ailments are symbols of psychological wounds. Our world is a manifestation of consciousness. This is not a surprise. Now that you have gotten your attention, what are you trying to tell you?

Are you sick of a certain situation? Is it time to drop anchor or set sail?

You're not Dumb You're just Different

Being different is an evolutionary advantage.

Thought patterns are all different. We think differently.

Our pattern of thinking differs, from person to person.

This is not a Disadvantage. It is an Advantage.

Given the world of relativity in which we exist, nothing that we perceive is likely to be inherently true. When we are surrounded by others and find that we are seeing things differently, that is an opportunity to try very hard to see what the other person is perceiving.

If you can do that, and then reconcile it with what you have perceived, you may find the middle ground, and in all likelihood that will be much closer to the truth than either of you have perceived. Is there one thing, one point, on which you both can agree?

I have had the advantage of going through most of my life seeing things from the opposite perspective of almost everyone around me.   It's very easy to think and feel like you're not very smart when you can't see what other people see. One day I realized they can't see what I'm seeing either.   I began to work overtime on seeing life from other peoples perspective's and then finding something in which we could all agree.  It's exhausting!

At the end of the day I was wiped out. But my inner I / Eye opened.  I became more attuned and more sensitive and began to pick up and see other thoughts and vibrations including peoples feelings. I also became more vulnerable to them and had to learn how to deal and survive in this "New World" that I had discovered. My sensitivity to it was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Many times now I offer my opposing view, just to give others a chance to have that same experience. It's by sharing views and trying to understand others that we come closer to each other and to reality.

People attack what they don't understand, so each time I offer a dissenting view, the mob mentality kicks in because most people love to be on the winning side of a good argument. There are also a few who try to see where I'm coming from. Good for them.

Remember truth is a sliding scale in relativity. It's not surprising that we have different views. You are the key to my finding the truth. Without you, I am lost with a broken compass. That is why it is not good for man to be alone.

All about Thought: The Circle of Infinity

A Prayer

Turn the mind away from fear.

Bless it with hope.

Each new day can be a bright dawn.

Each prayer can be a seed of hope or a seed of fear.

Which will you plant in the universal consciousness?

Your mind is your own little garden.

Each thought has the potential to become the next great idea.

Whatever you choose to think about, that is what grows in your garden.

Plant loving seeds and let them sprout forth loving actions, warm friends and happy relationships.

Pray for what you love.

May the One bless you with the grace of love and truth of light, that you may also share it to mutual delight. Be a bird of happiness!  Soar above the skies, kiss the rays of the sun and land on the shoulder of each new friend.

What will you do with your garden? It is never too late to weed out the angry, fearful thoughts. Just choose not to plant them here. Plant your joy, hope and think the best future you can imagine. That is what will take root in your life, whatever seed you plant and nurture.

Elevate

In a world of relativity, a change of perspective can create a depth of new meaning.

In our normal waking conscious state we see our problems at ground level. Elevating consciousness affords a higher perspective and deeper meaning.

When I worked for Port Authority in their basement offices, I often lunched outside, enjoying the beautiful World Trade Center concourse. I sat with one of my bosses, an Engineer, who told me about the twin towers, and their exoskeletal design. Frank said the towers were designed that way to be extra strong.

He failed to mention the hidden design of the concourse where we sat on a bench having our lunch. It's center was adorned by a huge golden globe perched on an axis atop a flat, circular black disc. Water flowed out to the edges of the disc and cascaded down to ground level, pooling into a slim trench around the raised circle. Around the giant artwork/waterfall, huge round planters filled with colorful flowers adorned the concourse. Our concrete benches continued the pattern around the central artwork, and huge slabs of concrete worked their way out from center toward the surrounding World Trade center complex.

Frank and I admired the tall buildings and their pristine, clean structure. Thousands of people filled the concourse on a typical, sunny day.

Years later, I found a new position, this time my office was on the 40th floor of 1 WTC.  I'm afraid of heights, but my desk was near the window overlooking that same concourse, which sat in the center of the ring of 7 WTC buildings, including the famed twin towers.

I looked down from my window, touching the strong beams for support, as they held up the tower. Finally I saw what I had never seen before. It was the Sun, radiating waves out through the blackness of space, warming the planters/planets.  It's rays, expressed by the pattern in the slabs of concrete extended out to the 7 buildings. The solar system was depicted all along in the World Trade Center concourse. The people looked like stardust as they moved through the scene below.

The artist had designed a surprise for those who took the time to look from above.

I always knew the buildings would fall, and that's why Frank tried so hard to convince me they were safe. I could see their future.  It is the fallen state of mind that envisions destruction where others create beauty, harmony and engineering marvels.

The good news is once we have seen the view from the top, we own it. It's inspiration is ours to carry forward, to share. The vessel may be destroyed, but the spirit is life.
