In recent posting sent out, the interviewed person stated that he had been
informed that only twenty-five people on planet earth had attained to
their ninth body. Interesting eh. Only nine!

I do not know what a ninth body is, or even if there is one, and, it does
resonate.  I have imagined the peak of consciousness, for a being who stays in touch
with this planet, as someone who has gone beyond the needing of a physical
body -  like the 'tradition' of Babaji in the Himalayas. Beyond desire?
So not needing to be in a body, yet can manifest one when/if needed. Neat.

And lots of states in between.
One state is where the person has had a realisation about the self/no-self.
At first there is often a temptation to communicate in the third person.
So John wanting to tell his friend that he went to the mountain says:
John went to the mountain." A bit confusing.

At a certain stage of waking up, it does become difficult to use the terms
'I' or 'me.'

With a little bit of awareness it is possible to check out something about
a person from the way they (or yourself) writes or talks.
It is not so much the use of the words 'I/me' but how they are used - the
inflection.  You can feel how much the person is insecure and uses the words for
confirmation and needing approval about themselves.

"As above so below" can be seen in many different ways.
Almost every single thing about us, indicates everything about us.
We can be a mirror to ourselves - if we are ready to see ourselves clearly.
And good to get reflections from other people as well.
Trouble is, so few people say their truth. Afraid if they say their's, you
will say yours.  No matter how they behave, most people are insecure about themselves.

So often in sessions people have shared that they are not telling their
partner, or friends, what they are really seeing/feeling.
Most people do not even share their truth about themselves to themselves.
Do you?

Are you absolutely honest to your partner and friends? Very rare.

And, as usual, doesn't matter. Just a matter of consequences. Everything
has one.

Consider...
We are allowing the mind, and what it has been programmed with, to run our
lives.  What we call 'free will' (presuming there is such a thing) does not stand
a chance.

*Without the principle of duality, the mind cannot/does not function.*

Without an opposite there is no reference point from which the mind can
calculate.  Without its opposite - dark - light cannot, as such, be recognised by the
mind. The same with time – no past/future, no mind.

You will notice that right from our childhood this is the way life has
been presented to us: good/bad; right/wrong; benefit/harm;
possible/impossible.

And not only is life presented in opposites, it is presented in a way that
indicates the opposites are in conflict. Light is in in conflict with dark.
Listen carefully to the news - so often you will hear an indication that
'nature is against us' and science is 'conquering nature.'

Our main-stream education is based on duality - competition. Exams, sports
- results.  None of this takes into account our uniqueness.
The exams are based on some criterion in which we may not be at all
interested.  It does not embrace our individual and unique creativity.
A genius artist or musician is not so likely to do well in mathematics,
yet by conventional school standards that means they are failures.
(Do mathematics, finance, bring more to the planet than art and music?)

-----------------------
Just had an article sent to me where the author states:
"I consider this one of the most important articles I’ve ever written."

I love people being that enthusiastic. I have often felt that way -
only to find later that there is yet another aspect I have not taken into
consideration!

The article is stating that humans are infected by: "a psychological
disease that has been informing human self-destructive behaviour." Does
seem that way doesn't it.

(Did you know, some scientists are saying that they have found a microbe
that once it infects an ant, it goes to the ant's brain and impels it to
climb to the top of anything tall - so that passing birds will eat it -
and that continues the life-cycle of the microbe? Clever microbe eh.)

When we look at the average situation in the world there does seem to be
conflict almost everywhere doesn't there - from countries to individual
relationships.  So is this 'good' ; 'bad' ; 'just is' ; or is there another aspect we are
not seeing and thus not including?

When I 'look back' to what my mind is telling me is a past event I usually
find I have, although maybe not recognising it at the time, in some way
benefited from the experience.

So is what is going on an opportunity for us?
Is it helping us to see our own behaviour more clearly?
If enough of us take care of our individual conflicts (within and without)
will it bring harmony to the planet? And does it matter anyway?

-----------------------
Someone has just written to me saying they are devastated because they
have just found out that their partner has been lying to them - for years.

Just as an exercise - check it out, carefully - how many times a day do
you lie?  If you are honest (and not lie to yourself) you will be amazed.

I get lots of emails about the species that are on the edge extinction.
Lots of them.  Seems species have always extinct-ed themselves. Over population is one
cause.

One of the main reasons species are disappearing at the moment, and that
includes indigenous tribes, seems not so much climate change, but that
they/we are losing their habitat, and we are poisoning what is left.

And the way we are breeding, this is inevitable.
Greed, and we are running out of space - not only for wildlife, but
eventually for ourselves as well.

I think one of the reasons people are so out of touch with this fact is
that they are out of touch with nature (and thus themselves) and are
behaving in more and more inhuman ways. This is one of the the results of
living in cities.  (We are part of nature and thus we need to stay in touch.)

As a species, what we are not getting is that we are one with each other,
and thus not only affecting each other, we need each other.
Fixing pollution in one part of the world is no longer enough.
If we don't cooperate we are, amongst other catastrophes,
going to poison ourselves out of existence.

As things are at the moment, we cannot survive without the cooperation of
not only all humans, but many species of insects. Pollination for one
example.

Remedy? Education.
If we want to save the wildlife, and ourselves, we need education.
(Simple, and seemingly impossible.)

Question: Are you educating yourself to the planet's situation?


Once again - not that it matters - nothing does.

This is the most complete I have ever heard - by a long, long way.
For me, it takes in most of the aspects, lines them up, and connects them.
Very technical with lots of bewildering details, and fascinating.
Like science fiction - and from what I have followed, very plausible.

After casually listening for a while it dawned on me that these men were
combining everything I have ever read, heard and 'downloaded'  - from many
sources.
Mayans and other indigenous tribes, Nostradamus, Edgar Casey, Bible,
psychics, ET's, astrologers, astronomers, scientists and scientific
history, conspiracy whistle-blowers, and more - about what is foretold for
this planet - at least on one level.

Explains the disappearing trillions of dollars; the manipulated financial
situation in general, the underground cities; the move towards martial
law; the false and distracting reports - and the control of everything.

These two men talk about cycles, radiation, magnetic and physical pole
shifts, tsunamis, earthquakes, ice age and general weather pattern
changes. And lots more.

There are too many plausible details for me to extract and highlight - so
I hope you will listen to it all - in detail. (He speaks fast!) Take your
time, and don't miss.

Overall message? It is happening, and it is up to us - we need to come
together.
Heard that before haven't we.

It is up to us...

The word Evil does not register for me.

In some seemingly perverse way,

Pleasant and unpleasant maybe, but even then - just a matter of

The English aristocrats are not famous for being gentle, loving and caring
people.

Here is an article published in an English newspaper that I think
illustrates that?

I think it is a good example of the difference between the approaches of
the head and the heart; the mind and the intuition.

(I used to know someone who went to school with Prince Charles.
He described him as caring person.)

-----------------------------------------------

This seemed a brutal observation from a kindly and temperate man, but he
went on to justify it: ‘We spend our lives here educating a new
–generation to understand that rational behaviour requires us to reach
conclusions and make –decisions by examining evidence.

‘Yet now we have the heir to the throne demanding — not in a –throwaway
remark, but in an entire book to which he has just put his name — that we
should reject science and evidence in favour of following our instincts.
This is surely disturbing.’

The Prince’s new book Harmony is indeed a startling piece of work. He
begins it by writing: ‘This is a call to revolution. “Revolution” is a
strong word, and I use it deliberately. For more than 30 years I have been
–working to identify the best solutions to the array of deeply entrenched
problems we face.

The Queen: She has never said a word to raise a hackle for almost 60 years

‘Having considered these questions long and hard, my view is that our
outlook in the Westernised world has become far too firmly framed by a
mechanistic approach to science.’

He continues: ‘This approach is entirely based upon the gathering of the
results that come from subjecting physical phenomena to scientific
experiment.’

Though the Prince says he does not dismiss all science as bosh, his book
is a call to arms against ‘the great juggernaut of industrialisation’
which he deplores.

Some of his phrases are –messianic: ‘I would be failing in my duty to
future generations and to the Earth itself if I did not attempt to point
this out and indicate possible ways we can heal the world.’

Obsessively convinced of his own rightness, he views his –critics with the
weary –resignation of an early Christian martyr: ‘It is probably
–inevitable that if you challenge the –traditions of conventional thinking
you will find yourself accused of naivety.’
Now, you may say it’s a fine thing we have an heir to the throne who cares
passionately about the planet and is determined to do something about it.
But what if his prescriptions are wrong?

At the heart of the Queen’s brilliant success for almost 60 years is that
we have been denied the slightest clue as to what she thinks about
anything but dogs and horses. Her passivity has been inspired, because her
subjects can then attribute any –sentiments they choose to her. She has
never said a word to raise a hackle.

Prince Charles, by contrast, wears his heart on his sleeve. He outraged
the medical –profession by bullying the last government into providing NHS
funding for his cherished homeopathic –medicine. This, doctors pointed
out, meant transferring tax–payers’ money from proven remedies to quackery
— panaceas for which there is no scientific evidence at all.
A leading breast cancer –specialist, Professor Michael Baum, wrote an open
letter to the British Medical Journal after the Prince suggested drinking
carrot juice and taking coffee bean enemas might help to –combat cancer.
The Professor furiously wrote that his own 40 years of study and 25 years’
involvement in cancer research might be thought to offer at least as solid
a basis for addressing this issue as the Prince’s ‘power and authority,
which rest on an –accident of birth’.

Charles makes many enemies with his views and his influence on government
decisions
The Government is –committed to trialling genetically modified crops,
which many agriculturalists think offer the best hope of feeding the
people of the world. But the Prince repeatedly –condemns GM as the devil’s
work — just as he opposes nuclear power and much –modern architecture.

Constitutionally, it’s –irrelevant whether his views are right or wrong:
by wading into –high-–profile controversies and using his status to
influence government decisions, he may please green enthusiasts, but he
also makes many enemies — some of them much more clever –people than
himself, who reject his ideas about how to better humanity.
In this way, he compromises the Royal Family.

A courtier recently said to me: ‘You shouldn’t worry about this. Charles
knows that from the day he becomes King, he must keep his mouth shut.’ But
in the same week, one of the Prince’s –intimate circle privately said:
‘The nation is ready for a –visionary monarchy.’
I believe that if the Prince and those around him think any such thing,
Charles would hit trouble as fast and hard as a truck –crashing into a
wall when he’s the occupant of the throne.
Nobody doubts that he is an honourable man who wants to do good. His
Prince’s Trust has made a remarkable contribution to helping the young get
started in trades and businesses.

Kate and Prince William: Polls want him to be the next king, bypassing his
father
But Charles insists upon addressing a range of issues wider and deeper
than any –mortal man — unless he has a mind of genius, as the Prince
certainly does not — can sensibly encompass. Some of his book reads like
the ravings of a Buddhist mystic.
I once incurred princely wrath by suggesting to him that he would be
judged by what he is rather than by what he does — that being heir to the
throne is not a government office.

Jeremy Paxman makes the same point in his book on –royalty: ‘The Prince
had –consistently misunderstood or ignored a basic truth at the heart of
the relationship between –royalty and the people.
‘He seemed to believe his significance lay in what he believed and did.
The truth was simply that his significance lay in who he was.’
An acquaintance of the Prince argued to me recently that we should not
worry about his behaviour because anybody who spends time with him quickly
sees that he is potty, and thus harmless.
I would agree — if his –eccentricities were confined to collecting
matchboxes or –dressing up as Napoleon.
But he is so set in his ways, so accustomed to not being contradicted —
because those who argue with him are swiftly expelled from his counsels —
that I am convinced that if he becomes King he will persist in trying to
save the world, and thus precipitate a crisis.
He craves the return of what he thinks was a happier, –simpler, more
‘natural’ world — for instance, he deplores inter–ference with primitive
tribes.

A person who knows him well says: ‘I used to think Camilla could sort him
out, but it’s too late. He’s a spoilt baby.’
He writes: ‘If we continue to engineer the extinction of the last
remaining indigenous, –traditional societies, we –eliminate one of the
last remaining sources of wisdom.’

He does not stop to ask what happens if the peoples of those indigenous
societies want TVs and mobile phones, or even medicines to save them from
some of the horrible diseases to which primitive man fell victim.
Rural grandees such as –himself may have enjoyed times past, but peasants
certainly did not.

The industrial growth which he hates has brought huge benefits to mankind.
He seems oblivious to the –tension between his grand vision about how
others should live and his personal financial profligacy; his enthusiasm
for using helicopters and keeping every light blazing in Clarence House at
all hours.
Now, he is not a bad man, but I think he is a very dangerous one for the
monarchy, if allowed to ascend the throne.

I remain apprehensive that his eagerness to become King derives from hopes
of using the position to promote his dotty causes. A person who knows him
well says: ‘I used to think Camilla could sort him out, but it’s too late.
He’s a spoilt baby.’
The Queen’s triumph — and that of Prince Philip, whose achievement is
often –underrated — has been rooted in a –discipline that Charles utterly
lacks.
For they recognise that being royal, far from allowing crowned heads to do
as they choose, makes it essential to exercise iron control over one’s
–every word and deed.
Prince Philip has occasionally committed indiscretions, but these are
trifling in a lifetime as consort. Some unkind things are said about the
royal –couple’s failure as parents. Yet their –contribution to our nation
far outweighs any domestic shortcomings.
The argument in royal circles now –concerns whether the Queen’s passive
style of monarchy will suffice for a new age.
When she ascended to the throne in 1952, Britain was a homogeneous white
country with a culture symbolised by beer, country churches, cricket, the
Radio Times and Miss Marple. Today, however, the ethnic and cultural
make-up of the nation is changing fast.

According to one projection, by 2051 the ‘white British’ –proportion of
the population will fall to 67 per cent, then decline to only 50 per cent
by the end of the century. A significant proportion of the children of
minorities will, meanwhile, become assimilated and adopt our traditional
values, perhaps including respect for the monarchy.

But it seems rash to expect too much, when the ‘white British’ are
diminishingly confident about what our values are.

They are scarcely churchgoing Christians. Even the Church of England is
racked with doubts about its own beliefs. That other great British
institution, the BBC, often seems more concerned with providing a platform
for minorities than with articulating the views of the majority.
If I was advising Prince –William and Kate Middleton, I would urge they
confine their public remarks to politeness and platitudes.
 
Even fish and chips are history. Tea is not the national opiate it once
was — if you asked for a ‘cuppa char’ in many fast-food places, the Polish
girl staring blankly across the –counter might think you were making an
indecent suggestion.
Some younger courtiers argue that a ‘more relevant’ monarchy will be
necessary, to engage with the new Britain. I suggest that they are wrong.
The best hope for the future is to maintain the Queen’s great tradition,
of being all things to all her subjects by remaining a smiling, but
silent, monarch.

In the days when royal –advisers occasionally sought my –opinions as a
newspaper editor, my –counsel was always the same: ‘Say nothing, say
nothing, say nothing.’ I thought the various– confessional interviews by
the Prince and Princess of Wales were –suicidal. Charles’ book –Harmony
can promote only disharmony around the throne.

If I was advising Prince –William and Kate Middleton, I would urge they
confine their public remarks to politeness and platitudes.

At all costs, I would –forswear interviews and documentaries designed to
reveal ‘the real William’ and ‘the real Kate’. For our sakes, as well as
theirs, we should not go there.
Modern kings and queens must remain distant symbols of glamour, beauty and
decency — or they become nothing. In the mid-21st century, as ever, once
the public knows too much, the magic will be gone.

Happily for us all, there is every reason to suppose that the Queen will
reign on for at least another decade. By then, it should be obvious that
it would be madness to allow a quirky, stubbornly opinionated and
contentious old man to assume the throne — that the best hope for
Britain’s –monarchy lies with William and Kate.
The most important task, meanwhile, is to prevent the media’s obsession
with the young royals from tarnishing or destroying the couple.
I remain optimistic that the monarchy will survive. While many British
people are indifferent to it today, few are actively hostile — a state of
affairs which reflects the Queen’s achievement.
But anyone who reads the Prince of Wales’ new book will have little doubt
that the chief peril to our royal institution in the decades ahead lies
within his well-meaning, muddled, woolly head.
 


 

 
At last! For me, this is very encouraging.
(I really, really don't enjoy that TED opening splash. Must be the idea of a man! )

If you would like a glimpse the mess men have got us into, go to any television broadcast of 'a day in parliament' - or your local equivalent. Watch the two parties fighting. That's all they seem to do – and in such a childish way. Schoolboys.
Better still, watch Jon Stewart on the daily show when he shows clips of leading politicians speaking. He doesn't even have to make it into a spoof – they spoof, and contradict themselves!

It is absolutely amazing to me that we have voted these low intelligent, and often uninformed people into a position where they are telling us what we can and can't do.
(Not that that most of the public citizens would do much better.)
Of course there are exceptions, like Ron Paul in America, but if they get too influential they would probably be killed – like the Kennedy's and many others.

Recently in America the Republicans held up compensating the people who went to the 9/11 site to save people, who are dying of dust poisoning – until a bill was past to insure that the top earners did not have their tax changed from the reduction Bush gave them. Same with unemployment payments. And so on.

Not that just being female is a total answer of course – we have quite a few unintelligent ones of those as well.

One thing that I found interesting is that many of the women speakers – speak.
No: 'you know' and other automatic phrases that indicate that they do not really know what they are talking about. Or reading mechanically from a written page.
Straight and clear.

Great to see the changing coming about.

I have only watched the first one and skimmed through the others.
I am hundreds of hours behind watching and reading material that has been sent to me.

Happy new era…

Hi Paul,

I just watched this TED talk and was surprised at some of the statistics and the ‘change’ in the women influence!  I have been very much aware in the developing world where I am involved in the microcredit and a significant and steady growth of women changing their economic and education status, but I was not so much in touch with the changes in our western environment. Seems like changes are happening much faster than I had thought. I experienced this first presentation as both interesting, thought provoking and worthwhile for all of us to consider – so something for the IML list! Change is happening. And how can we manage change and transition in way that is helpful to all of us – women and men. The additional talks are different talks by woman that can be inspiring for all of us. Powerful women, who are not polarising woman and truly making a difference!!  I am feeling deeply touched and heartened after having this listening ...

Hello Dearest Mother Dear...

You say, over and over, that you are not clever and you have not
accomplished anything worthwhile in your life - like some other people
have.

Let's recap.
Three sons; their accomplishments; a husband who was often ill; and two
world wars.
In the last war you managed the family through bombing most nights, and
your husband being in hospital some of the time. At one time you had your
husband in one hospital and one of your sons in another one - on the
opposed side of the city - so having to queue and wait for several
different buses. And while still getting your other son off to school each
day, you visited both of them in hospital - every day.
And took care whenever any of the neighbours needed anything in any way.
Nothing accomplished? I don't agree.

You fell and broke your hip; had to have surgery for a hip replacement;
could never walk the same and have to use a walker now; arthritis all
over; have an ulcer on your ankle that needs weekly dressing at the
hospital because it is not healing, and it gives you constant pain -
waking you up at night - and not only do you not complain, you continually
say how grateful you feel because you feel so lucky.

You do not complain - about anything. Ever.
Now that is what I call a real accomplishment. And it is very, very rare.

Not only that, you have unconditional love - for everyone - whoever and
however they are. No complaint - only gratefulness.
You often say say how grateful and blessed you feel.
Seems I am not getting over to you how rare this state is in any human
being.

You radiate your love wherever you go - even when you do not go out.
You are a light and inspirational example to so many people.

Plus, how many people do you know, who are a hundred years old, who get on
their computers and are ready to Skype with their son each week? Think on
lass.

You are playfully unfriendly when the Squirrels dig up and eat your flower
roots, but the only thing I have heard you really complain about lately is
your hearing aid.
You said: "Sometimes I want to take them off and throw them."

Observation: It is not your hearing aid's fault. They did not ask to be
designed and made that way, and like most people and things, they are
probably doing the best they can in the circumstances.

Suggestion: Until the new ones arrive, how about being friendly and
grateful to them for the advantage they have given you over the years?
I know you can do that, and now that it has been mentioned to you, you
probably will.

I love the way you share your unconditional love and happiness, and do not
hesitate to share this with anyone who will listen. Your smile lights up
all around you.

Like you say, I would love you to be on television so you could share your
message with more people. Maybe it can still happen - after all, you are
still only one hundred years old - and our great aunt lived to 107!

This is a lovely uplifting video: http://www.persephonearbour.com/video-christmas-food-court-flash-mob-halle
lujah-chorus-must-see

I love to see people doing things together in loving harmony, and to see
the looks on people's faces when they are pleasantly surprised.

We are sending you lots and lots of love dearest Elise...

I don't really have this clear enough to explain lucidly.
My perspective on life and living seems to be changing - quite radically.
Life-and-death do not seem to be separate - or even so important.
(Nice to be comfortable though.)

What does seem to be relevant is how we are actually living our lives -
not so much  overall, but moment to moment. There is a lot of talk, but
not so much doing.  Theories but not so much practice. (See the words at the end.)

I have witnessed some amazing healing, and often the person reverts back
to the same condition - because they go on living their lives in the same
way in the same circumstance - so they produce the same results.

Although I can see other aspects to any situation as well, one of the
things I am seeing is that any sort of illness is a symptom imbalance –
due to the way we are living our lives.
We need to be looking at our lives in a whole different way -
disconnecting ourselves from what we've been told is and is not and taking
responsibility and looking for ourselves – what is life really about, and,
am I living it to my maximum potential.  Am I being conscious, honest, and living my truth.

I love to see people well, happy, caring and loving - and 'just' healing
the body may not be a complete solution. Some healers will not heal some
people - because they feel that they need the disturbing experience.
But of course, if we take it that every situation is perfect, then if they
find the healer, get healed or not, revert or not - perfect.

So the title to the DVD: 'Because People are Dying...' [by Paula Gloria]
Could be: 'Because People are Not Living...' ?

About the conspiracy bit. I think it very naive for anyone to assume
integrity and honesty in almost any political (or any) situation. Very
rare.

Just the terms 'Diplomatic' or 'Political' is really another way of
saying: lying.

Once again, not a mater of attempting to change the situation - that is
just an escape - it is a matter of how we live our own lives - moment to
moment?

Moment to moment.
Lovely that you are devoting your life to... whatever we are calling it.

Sending you love...

From one of my most favourite films:
http://www.allmusicals.com/lyrics/myfairlady/showme.htm

Eliza - in the film 'My Fair Lady':
 
Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you!
Is that all you blighters can do?
Don't talk of stars burning above;
If you're in love, Show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire. If you're on fire,  Show me!
Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat!
Haven't your lips longed for my touch?
Don't say how much, Show me! Show me!
Don't talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!
Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!
Don't talk of June, Don't talk of Fall!
Don't talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms hungered for mine?
Please don't "expl'ine," Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!

Hi Eileen...

You ask:
>What is a normal?

I think I understand what you are meaning, and, when you ask the question
it is as though you are expecting a definitive answer?
I don't think there is any such thing as a definitive answer - to anything.

And 'Normal'? Again, I don't think there is such a state.
Each person, each moment, each situation, each angle of view...
all true and not true at the same time?


You say:
>Neither of us got the ability to get to his classes

Again, I understand, and....
In my early twenties there were very few sports cars around, and what I
noticed was that it was older men driving them - because they were the
only ones who could afford them. Trouble was - they were too old to enjoy
the speed they were capable of.
(No speed limit on open roads at that time in England.)
So I decided to get one - quick.

In addition to my full time job I did wedding photography every Saturday,
developed the negatives and made contact prints on the Sunday, took them
around on the Monday evening, and printed and mounted in the albums
evenings. Every week.

And I sold everything sellable - all my precious camera and sound
equipment - everything.

I bought a very special modified sports car - Jaguar XK120 with a 'C' type
racing engine and gearbox -fastest car on the road at that time, and for
the few months I could afford to run it, had a great time.

When I got the urge to hitch-hike around the world, I sold the house and
let everything go. In San Francisco in the 60's I did any job available to
get the money to do all the group activity available there.
When I heard of a Guru who seemed to have a unique meditation technique
suitable for Westerners - I left everything in London and went to India.
Whenever I have been fascinated by anything - I found a way to have the
experience.

If you want it enough - so will you.

Love to to you - and Leland...

Have you had sensations that do not fit into what you have been told is
'real'?

Like driving a car and feeling it is strange that the car is not steering
itself to your destination - and you have to steer, accelerate and brake?

Or, even, that it is strange that you have to travel at all - that where
you want to be does not come to you. Or that any sort of physical
movement is unnecessary - just a thought and it has happened?

Is what we are calling reality seeming less real for you?
Could it be that this reality thing really is an illusion?
Could it be that the very foundation of what we call reality just is not
so?

So far, almost everything we were once told is an absolute has turned out
not to be so - on almost every level. Are we still still stuck in very old
ideas?

It is said that many of our breakthrough innovations have been seeded from
other dimensions.
If that is so, is that because we are holding on to our old ideas so
strongly - and not allowing our thoughts to include what is thought
impossible?
Most of our present technology would once have been thought absolutely
impossibly insane.

-------------------------------------------

Someone said to me the other day that they are finding it more and more
difficult to integrate the experiences they have in meditation with their
everyday life.

Maybe the separation is the difficulty?
In 'the state of presence' there is only one - just a matter of not
holding - anything.

--------------------------------------------

As foretold, the suppressed inner is manifesting in the outer - there is
more violence taking place. It is now seeming that that is the main focus
of any media. And it is escalating.

At the moment the violence still has 'justification' - he/she killed
because....
But another level is foretold - that random violence and general
disorientation will increase - the suppressed inner manifesting on the
outer.

For the ride to be as smooth as possible the suggestion is - keep clearing.
Anything old that is not clear - clear it.
Anything suppressed, denied, not taken care of - take care.

As an exercise, see energy like water. If the pipe is clear, the water
runs smoothly.
If the pipe is not clear - turbulence.

Another suggestion - keep sharing with your friends, and anyone who may be
vaguely interested. They may not connect at the time - but this is the
time for sowing the seeds of possibilities. And doing what is fun for you.
