The Myth of Mental ILLness

Equipoise

2012-10-04T05:15:00.000-07:00

One Day At a Time: Equipoise.

Well, I know I passed Drunken Soberness long ago. Drunken Soberness is a label Zen Masters have given to their experience. I hark back to the days when I was imbibing liquid mind altering concoctions and other experiences.

Once upon a time I was given brownies on a bus heading to a WHO concert. Yum, I said as I reached for the desert to grab two, they were a bit small portions in my estimation. The concert was very way cool. I remember feeling how great the music sounded, how it really seemed so harmonious and the crowd was so in tune with my every response to the experience of the performance. In retrospect, I can see how the pot infused brownies enhanced my experience of the performance. A lot like what I experience these days without eating brownies! I also remember being the designated driver back when and being exposed to second hand smoke from wacky tabacky. And, those experiences also expanded my sight and hearing into more pleasurable experiences.

My previous experiences of drinking alcohol, some 20 or so years ago... moved me to experience times of losing control of body function, stumbling around and getting really happy, laughing at everything. Physical boundaries would get really hazy and my verbal and cognitive functions were not up to par, by any stretch to normal baseline. Now I am finding it difficult to accept the limitations and challenges these naturally occurring alchemicals create for my cognitive processes. Overcoming the Ecstatic addiction phase has been intense. Pushing back into cognitive processing takes effort.

I haven’t ever taken or been exposed to any of the hard drugs, controlled substances. And, I do know now why people take them. Living with this ever-flowing hourly production of this complex chemical cocktail has been challenging to say the least. I have talked to a few folks about their experiences. Cocaine users speak of the aftertaste, the acrid tasting drip that comes after taking the White Powder. These conversations have been a very helpful aid to understanding what I am experiencing these days. When it first started dripping three years ago it was a bit bitter, these days it is much sweeter...The Nectar of Immortality. In the last year, I have stepped into psychedelic scenes fairly often. They don’t freak me out these days. When I do my Surya Practices it can be kind of fun to play with the colors. I have been able to breath into different chakras which turns my landscape into different colors. I haven't flipped into ALL Gold in awhile, that is a bit harder to come out of, takes more cooling practices. It is just part and parcel of the process. I continue to wade into experiencing hallucinogenic times. Those ain’t so easy to get used to, but more tolerable to this little monk-ette lately. Really have to be watchful of my mental material and exposure to music. I just saw Wanderlust this past month. And, Ho Boy did I relate to the scenes where the actors had taken Ayahuasca. I have heard flowers singing, trees talking and the birds singing in such harmonic tunes. The Beauty is so over-whelming. I have walked around with tears streaming down my face from ecstatic joy.

These days, I am Working to put one foot in front of the next, do enough Yoga to ground into daily living and not walk around with tears streaming down my face….folks don’t’ cotton to thinking that is an acceptable expression of daily living. Come back to chop wood that doesn’t sing and carry water that isn’t too hot or too cold. Extremes of temperature cause interesting changes in my eye sight or shall I say how the colors are experienced in my surrounding landscape. When I heat up the colors get really wild which tells me to do my internal cooling practices. When my thoughts get too wild, I do my internal cooling practices. Thank you Goddess for perseverance.

Goddess of Hathor placing the magic collar on Seti I from the Tomb of Seti I,
New Kingdom, XIX Dynasty, 1314-1200 BC, Louve.

Speaking of Goddesses...This is an image of Hathor, an Ancient Egyptian Goddess who personified the principles of Love, Joy, Beauty, Music, Dance and Motherhood. She is the Deity that wore the Solar Crown in their mythology. It was thought that when "She" placed the magic collar onto the Pharaoh it connected him to the Goddess Energy.

These days when I introduce the Second Praise Ascension Attitude while standing in the sun my crown chakra just opens up to flood my throat with the Golden Elixir, really cool experience. No doctor prescribed medications or corner bought baggy!!! My bedroom window has an Eastern exposure so I can lie in bed and Ascend in the Morning Sunlight which allows the Elixir to flow more smoothly, streaming down into my tummy. I have taken to eating mints pretty constantly to ease the burn in my stomach and intestines of late. Had to get a new supply before Yoga Class last night. I knew I was not going to be able to get through the class without some mints to ease the burn of an hour and a half class. Woke up this morning to crystals clogging my nose... it doesn't happen to often...used some sesame oil to rub it into my system. Not much of a difference from the "new normal" been experiencing of late. Crystals??? Is that Crystal Meth??? Coming out of my nose???

I ran about 10 steps to try and catch a bus leaving from the curve this afternoon, not a smart move on my part. Went into a really big overload of thoughts and feelings of WOW O WOW, colors and some pain rushing through me. More Chi running through the system heals more old wounds, FASTER... one more level of purification and added RUSH.

Enlightenment includes moments of psychedelic scenery = colors so Beautiful, the term kaleidoscopic eyes now has meaning - hours of hallucinogenic experiences = really weird stuff and many more Donnie Darko times like didn't I just do that, feelings of expansion beyond anything one could write about and LOVE...lots of feelings of connecting to everything.

This past weekend was a rough one. More Agni moving into more systems to heal and grow them. The principles of The Golden Elixir are easy once you understand the underlying dynamics; Simple, but not Easy! The burn in my stomach which feels like a bad case of heartburn has moved into my intestines, lungs, legs and eyes. Focusing on this computer screen is causing a subtle burn in the lenses of my eyes and a burning sensation in my brain. Until I need to go stick my head in the freezer to ease the brain burn or ice my eyes, I write and think as long as the pain allows. Finding better practices eases the process, just one step at a time.

Had a GREAT massage last evening....sending out much praise to that practitioner. This morning awoke into feeling the Elixir weeping into my alimentary canal. It feels much like what you would think a tree feels when it's sap is running down it's outer, bark skin. In contrast this sensation is on the inside of the body. Other tissues that took a lot of trauma in years gone by are feeling like little bee stings of energy popping as the body moves...OM Praise be to All the All Powerful Arms pulling US up into the Glory of God!

And now these days my throat is closing up on me when I start to eat solid food...only when I chew food. O the Beauty of body wisdom, when I have the wisdom to listen to it. Choking is not a pleasant sensation, so I have taken to blending my food. Bought some really great baby food the other day. The label guarantees no GMO's, gluten free, no soy, wheat or dairy either! I guess breatharian does mean not eating a whole lot of anything.

How do we get to PARADISE without breaking the Butterflies????

Anybody see the movie What if???? www.whatifthemovie.tv

Higher states require more practices, more patience, more endurance, more wisdom and they offer more choices.

Waiting for SuperMen and Women

2012-07-04T18:44:00.000-07:00

Feeling the need to blog about the newest level of development been experiencing of late.

Watched a movie last night, ”Waiting for Superman” which is an excellent movie for this time of our planetary evolution.

Has anyone else seen it? Really on point about how to solve our educational crisis and many of our business issues as well, as I blog on this country’s Birthday.

Anyway that bunny trail goes on for some time, I digress. I am flowing to express and not regress in this moment. So, my feet have taken a beating in past years and now I am finding that this alchemical process is healing them into a new expression. How do I ascertain that? Well, if I use them for longer periods of time or overuse them, they begin to burn. And, I do mean that most factually. Probably, just like someone would feel if they were to walk on hot coals. Have adopted the practice of icing them in order to be able to use them.

Also, after my sleep state cycle I woke up to experiencing my eyes burning. I have had to ice them many times over the past few months in order to ease the pain of overuse as well. I had lasik surgery years ago; my bookworm habits had grown my eyes into needing coke bottle bottom lenses in order to get to the bathroom. My Root Teacher: MSI had recommended to me to get them done. And, when he shares wisdom with me I tend to heed his words and follow his example.

This Alchemical Journey has been a royal pain. One that I am growing into royal ease with more grace and less time; I pray, pray, pray.

This Great Work does require Great Patience and Great Indurance. When I overdo using my cognitive practices, crystals form in my nose. Instead of the chemicals draining down my throat they mature and form another structure in my nose. Isn’t that interesting??? I could put them in a baggy and sell them on a cornerJ Manufacturing my own Brain Cocaine!!! Or is that crack? Heroin would be the liquid growing down my throat? With DMT mixed in??? O well, I never did any of those state training experiences. A bit to my regret. I have been a tea tottler in most recent years. And, was a wine drinker in the day. But then after my divorce I do admit to taking a liking to Long Island Ice Teas and Trance Dancing - It tasted like tea! Jazz dancing at The Papillon.

So, If you see me picking my nose more often these days, my crots have evolved, too! Tasty little boogers they are that’s a fact Jack.

I have spoken of the psychedelic scenes in previous posts. When I step into those landscapes these days, it doesn’t weird me out so much. Just another something weird and wonderful to get used to. Seeing Horses of a Different Color is OK, when one learns they don’t jump out and bite you….at least in this world. Be Here Now, takes on new meaning when one is able to visit other ones.

Blessings Be,

Rhapsody, Ravel and Rolling in the Deep

2012-04-27T10:25:00.001-07:00

So, it has been a harmonic creation of synchronicities and anachronicities of late. As one evolves the dreamer and the dream becomes less distinguishable, one seam of time blending into another, one level of reality cycling into the next – hopefully with more ease and grace. As I was off for an appointment with destiny, running late into my building’s elevator, rushing to stop to catch my breath and turning to my companion who shared my downward ride to chat, “How are you?” Glorious day!... and then some small knowing urged me to ask him, “What do you do for a living?” His response was that he drove a taxi when he wasn’t in school. So, I asked him for a lift to the train. And, off we went. He dropped me off with a smile, and refusal of payment cheerily saying “Have a Great Day.” I was short on cash and really didn’t have the time to do the credit dance, so I was immensely grateful. I had given his wife a couple of dresses the day before. Spring cleaning and moving out the old to make room for the new – one good turn deserves another – paying it forward in hopes that someday the return wave will sweep me onward into more waves of gratitude.

Each new day awakens more of this dripping and flowing divine nectar within my brain and down my throat. It has been causing me many moments of challenge and skill building opportunities. One of my coaching clients plays the viola in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. He gifted me with tickets to his latest performance. I was so excited to attend a symphony performance – Ravels Rapsodie espagnole was the first presentation of the evening. I was hesitant to attend after the day I had had dealing with these phenomena. When I went for a run, or shall I say when I attempted to go for a run earlier this morning I moved into psychedelic scenes so quickly it was startling to me, so I walked and watched the straight lines in the sidewalk. I have had scenes of multi colors, but this time it was minutes of dancing scenes from Yellow Submarine, the Beatles movie but much more!!!! Can colors become brighter, and brighter??? I made the last leg of the journey by bus, holding onto my rolling stomach and the hand rail, praying not to throw up my earlier meal of oatmeal.

My eyes were burning so badly from studying, reading a lit computer screen and cognitively working to make sense of someone else’s research… that I have been icing them with ice cubes. My ears were ringing so much that I went to soak my head in the bathtub. Literally, submerging my head in water felt so much better than having multi=hued tones ringing throughout my head, I could feel my teeth and bones subtly vibrate….really interesting experience, one that I didn’t want to get used to in that moment. What you resist persists until you get used to it, one tiny little baby step at a time.

So as I was planning to attend the evening’s performance, I made sure to warn my companion that if I needed to leave, I needed to leave. Taking care of this divine flow requires mindfulness choices of exposure to continued life experiences. We got there late and had to wait for the next seating. I stood at the entrance to the auditorium tuning into the interplay of sounds, letting them wash over me, stepping into sensing if I could handle the upcoming experience. Knowing that I could leave and yet wanting to flow into the experience with ease and grace. I had, had season tickets to the Pittsburgh Symphony for years. So love classical music; so had previous life experience of listening to live, large glorious performances. As the music died down, the clapping of appreciation for the performance waned and the doors opened to admit those of us waiting to be seated. I walked into the auditorium to view down into a chasm of unending auditorium. Whoa, the steps seemed to by incredibly steep and my vertigo clinched my stomach muscles. I didn’t fold over to drop my head between my knees but looked to the right where the usher was pointing at two seats conveniently within in “no throw up” range. I side stepped to make a grateful landing in a cushioned seat a familiar sensation that didn’t cause me pain or concern. Comfort and ease is a valued commodity when these phenomena flow over and through me at an overwhelming rate.

The auditorium quieted and the conductor, Riccardo Muti came onto the stage, the applause sounded into and through the auditorium and set my bones and teeth to humming. As the symphony began to play and the harmonies flowed over and through my body the sensations washed through me. IT BECAME GLORIOUS. The notes started to play my organs and eyes and bones and lips and …I just sat back and let the drip flow. It rolled down the back of my throat and the colors popped infront and behind my eyes. Then the psychedelic scenes in front of my eyes eased and the drip rolled into a stream down the back of my throat. Standing waiting to be seated had caused me a level of trepidation. “Was I going to be able to sit and withstand the vibrational exposure to so much, so fast?” As I sat listening to the harmonies and symphonic beauty of the music tingling over and through my being, I was relieved to be able to sit and enjoy the brilliant experience. As the dripping flowed down my throat the music became more and more soft and distant, like walking after a snow storm all quiet and soft with the music just wafting along the silence.

After that night’s performance my phenomenon went into overdrive. My lungs and intestines were burning fairly continuously to the point that only by taking small bites of apple and eating a few almonds at a time kept the burning sensation down to tolerable. I was icing my eyes pretty nonstop to keep the burning sensation to tolerable. Every morning thereafter for a time was a challenge. Sleep state creates more bliss chemicals which creates more expansion which creates more change which creates more yoga asanas and more mindfulness skills to ease the transformation….omnivores, herbivores/vegetarians, fruitarians, breatharians…time will tell. The proof is in the pudding; and my pudding is flowing fairly regularly.

Xana La Fuente's Photos

Thanks Xana La Fuente for capturing what my eyes have been seeing of late. Too cool photo!!!!

Sleep state does create more of the Bliss Chemicals and so does standing in the wind and sunshine!!! More chi coming into my system creates fun times. Just been reading Daniel Goleman's Meditative Mind in the introduction he speaks of Maharaji Neemkaroli Baba's stage development. Baba had ingested a huge dose of psychedelics and nothing happened!!! There was nowhere for his awareness to go; he was already experiencing psychedelic landscapes. I ain't gonna take a hand-full of psychedelics cause my stomach is burning pretty hard from all this Golden Elixir and I see too many of these scenes already. Course I am getting used to them. They are lovely...course this is the 2 dimensional version. Think of this picture with light playing through the scene and add a whole lot of sparkles. I have learned to focus on the cracks in the sidewalk to keep me walking in a straight line. Well, they are supposed to be straight. They get a bit squiggly for me at times.

Onward and Upward,

Strange New Pains of Healing

2011-11-29T22:22:00.000-08:00

Dearest All: Been feeling any measure of different pains, different days. In this now moment, of OUR Year of the Lord and Lady November 29, 2011. My bones are aching because they are healing. It feels really strange. How do I know this is truth. Well, the hurting is in all the locations where I broke bones or injured facia in my active life. Had numerous bike wrecks and ski falls and sprained ankles from sports. And, Boy O Boy do they talk back when this healing game of kundalini and The Golden Elixir starts to really flow through the system. At least it is my experience of late.

Resolution of the Paradox: Lots of Pain and Healing

My front teeth are hurting, I can remember getting smacked in the mouth during a racquetball match years ago. I had a busted lip for two months from that little injury. My left wrist is aching as well, broke it in fifth grade running more like falling on it in dodge ball. My right hand got squished in a bike wreck; went through reconstructive surgery and wore titanium pins in two fingers for eight or so weeks. My ankles are aching as well. Thanks to high school basketball. I can remember going up for a rebound and coming down on someone else's foot and hearing a crunching noise as I went to the floor in pain. Walked on crutches for weeks after that incident. Sprained them both at various times during basketball years. My ears are aching something awful too...The inner ear bones. [Listening to my Mother bitch for years, hurt my ears :)] Then I had two hip pointers from another bike wreck in my 20's and another knee injury from bike wrecks and ski falls. Not to mention seven years of Judo and Tai Kwan Doe. Well, I know this is healing and reading this list of aches makes me not wonder so much why I am aching. I did have a grand night of Flowing and Drinking Nectar. It was so very hard to get out of bed this morning to face the pain in my body. Geez, I could barely walk for the bone pain this morning. Finally, made it to the hot tub to soak out the pain and heat up my Chi. Feelin' much better in the pm hours after a good steam bath as well.

Blessings Be to all those feeling any similiar pain. It ain't been too FUN! Glory daze do come at a price.
For Freedom is not FREE; someone always pays the price.

I have never smoked, not even waky tabacky. But, let me say that these times of drunken soberness - Satchidananda LSD days sure make me appreciate state training with those substances,,,. In small doses with folks around who understand the goals of training. Speaking of training............

http://youtu.be/OytczbXgeSw

I can relate to some of these downhill falls. In Judo one learns the art of rolling and falling. The gang I skied with jokingly called me Eggplant...Headplant the Eggplant. Once upon a time, used to think that the fall was just as much fun as the ride, tumbling and rolling down the hill was fun. Gotta admit the charm of a Green powder packed slope holds more charm in these days of psychedelically painted pain filled moments of healing the Anamaya Kosha. Anybody up for some powder skiing???

Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, hOMe.

Gnothi Seauton–Know Thyself

2011-11-12T02:36:00.000-08:00

In some circles speaking of Thyself would indicate that one is only operating out of the Ego Self and that the Ethnocentric Self has yet to be developed or the World Centric Self is not even present. My intention in sharing my journey is to encourage others to walk the path of Self Knowledge. Specifically in regards to how this Alchemical journey is unfolding in my female body of late.

Most recently, as the O Soma Drop has developed into a Running River of Bliss down my throat, feels like when you have a nose bleed but in this case it is not blood flowing down my throat. This flowing Nectar of Immortality has caused a new level of transformation in my digestive system. Months ago, I would feel the need to swallow occasionally to ease the passing of the fluid down my throat. Now I work to hold my throat open to allow for the fluid to just flow. Why do I add this practice to my regimen? Well with all the other body pains my neck/swallowing muscles were beginning to ache quite a bit. So, now I try NOT to swallow so much and just let it flow.

My understanding of this process is that the chemicals produced by my activated brain chemistry is now concentrating and activating the transformation of my digestive processes. What does that actually feel like in my body??? A burning sensation that at times reminds me of heart burn, a pretty severe case of it. The sensation begins in my stomach and flashes upward. I try to keep eating small portions of almonds, fruit and I found ginger chews aid to keep the accompanying nausea at bay as well. It gets really painful when my stomach is empty!!! Much worse in the morning after a night of drinking The Nectar of Immortality.

So, now in addition to my skull sutures aching, my ovaries pulsing at times, my breasts feeling like they are lactating, my thymus aching, my ears ringing for long periods of time every time a fire truck or police car drives by with it’s sirens wailing, my eyes burning when I read too long [which causes heat in my liver…] my stomach is feeling like someone built a campfire in it…literally!

YES, the joys and delights of Enlightenment. How do I love Thee, let me count the ways.

Supreme bliss comes to the Yogi whose mind is at Peace,
whose Passion has subsided and who is stainless and has become one with Brahman.

Spiritual Emergence of the Divine Feminine: The EVE II Complex

2011-10-14T11:42:00.001-07:00

The anthropological community has been searching to identify where and when the First Eve evolved. What I refer to as the EVE II Complex is taking place in our post-modern culture as an evolutionary process. And like the Madonna/Whore Complex the EVE II Complex is pervasive. If affects how we interpret our reality, how we express our SEXUALITY, how we communicate and see the outer world. Changes of consciousness are subtle. When they occur at the physical level they can be misconstrued as a disease process. And, they are not so subtle. They can be powerful and cause much discomfort…OR NOT! What do the numbers of Breast Cancer cases indicate? What about the numbers of Prostate Cancer?

A Figure to Figure: Originally drawn by W.E. Hill Is the woman Youngish or oldish? Large nosed or normal?

Perspectives: What do you sense taking place evolution or disease?

Hopefully, by reading my account it will ease the journey and resolve the mystery of the process for others who are experiencing like changes and to CHOOSE a different path in resolving our obscurations. The undertaking of evolution is to become AWARE of the process and to engage it with compassion and understanding.

Most recently, I underwent another level of purification. Back in April of 2011 (see April 11^th blog) I felt fluids flowing from my eyes, nose and ears. It was not blood! This August, during the high heat of summer MUCUS started flowing from my eyes and nose [really yellowy, gunky stuff!!!] and more clear fluids and waxy effluent from my ears. Believe me it if it sounds gross, it was even worse to experience. For three and half days it just rolled out of my eyes and clotted up my nose. Lots of other pains and gains took place during those weeks as well. To sum it up, I stepped into an expanded space and began to walk. And when I mean walk, I mean miles of walking for weeks…two and half or three weeks of walking. I ended up sleeping on the beach, in the park, on the bus…when I wasn’t walking. The energy of the expansion just moved me. Now could I have sat during that time? Could I have done hours of Yoga instead? Well, looking back it would have been a better option. Making smarter choices in every now moment is the Name of the Game. Did I learn quite a bit about many systems? Where bus routes take a person, how to dock a boat properly, and what is the next level of learning one needs to focus on…Yes most emphatically! Would I make the same choices I did back then? I pray and practice for higher outcomes each day as I walk my path.

Along with the purification of my central channel/sushumna which is when the Kundalini flows upward along the central channel, my EYESIGHT has moved into new modes of operation. During my walkabout, I stepped into seeing GOLD. I had experienced it on occasion before, but not like this. It was not like looking around and sensing a few golden objects here and there. It is like the scenes in Matrix III, when Keenau Reeves is wearing the blindfold and he is

sensing the scenes around as different densities of GOLD….everything is GOLD, everywhere! Just different densities and depths of golden stuff all around, like looking into a Magic Eye Picture of Golden Reality. It took awhile to figure out how to focus back into this flatland of regular reality….days of Golden landscapes.

Magic Eye II 3D Illusions by N.E. Thing Enterprises

Keep looking !!! Can you see something in the Blue area? Keep Looking, focus by moving your nose closer and then further by a tiny distance. Allow your mind to expand...

Keep looking there is more there!

And at times, I get into what I refer to as Yellow Submarine times. Do you remember seeing the movie Yellow Submarine? The one that pictorially expressed their music? When those psychedelic scenes come into my awareness I know it is time to go do Yoga or lift weights. The chemicals in my brain are concentrating and I need to move to circulate them throughout my body. In contrast I think the Beatles were looking through the eyes of some kind of street drugs to sense those scenes. That has not been the case for this little Monk. I know better than to take those concoctions. It is enough to reason through this Land of The Flowing Nectar of Immortality. These days it flows pretty steadily.

Most recently, I have been working with my hunger response and dealing with nausea. My digestive system is purifying. It is a rolling feeling in my guts and then at times I feel lots of heat and tingling moving through my intestinal area. It has been hard to keep solid food down. I was eating more organic vegetables this past summer. Most recently, it has been a small amount of grains, fruit and nuts. I am challenged not to reach for my emotional comfort foods: Fried Chicken is my worse. The nausea makes Train and bus rides challenging. I have embraced walking more each day.

Living in the city is a challenge all by itself. And then when ambulances and police cars set off their sirens my ears set to ringing! The reverberation can be annoying for longer times afterwards if they rolled right by me.

I ask and challenge all those reading these words? What are your daily practices? What are your goals in Life? How do you define God/Goddess? What is your experience of realty? Do you meditate? Do you have to take street drugs to alter your 3D reality? Want to join US on this Yellow/Golden Brick Road?

I’m trippin’ on Love.

What yous guys trippin’ ON???

Summertime Fun....

2011-07-17T07:54:00.000-07:00

Had a few memorable events these last few weeks wanted to blog about.

Attended a Tantric meet up and paired up with a Master Male Yoga instructor [He teaches other folks how to become Yoga Instructors.] to step through some of the processes the Activatress had planned for the evening. One of the processes we had to engage in was face your partner and focus on your Third eye region….The Center of Your Skull, and then one partner extended their awareness and focused on the other as Giver and then u became Receiver. As we turned to face each other, [The Master Yoga Instructor and I began eye gazing.] My O Soma Drop began dripping profusely! During the exchange the 30 or so folks in the room were quietly engaging in focusing and sharing and then there was the sound of someone swallowing, a number of times in a row. And, then starting to giggle as I started to rush….and swallowing some more and at the end of the exchange I was working not to burst out laughing and rolling on the floor. Mr. Yoga Instructor [first time I had ever met him.] leaned over and whispered I want what you are ON!!!

Then one day a few weeks ago, I had to go for a walk to ground down and played the “What is THAT game.” ….Slowly walking around identifying That’s a CAR, That’s a DOG, That’s a TREE, planting one foot firmly after another, following my Yellow Brick Road… workin’ not to point and laugh. Made it to a local department store where another Man walked up to me and asked, “You’re feelin’ good, Huh? Ya selling any of that stuff?” This guy had obviously recognized my state of expansion as I worked to push the cart around the store identifying TOWELS, TOY TRUCKS, MILK CARTONS, CANDLES….I don’t think I was wearing my sunglasses at the time??? My eyes get dilated the size of dimes at times. And, I have to stay hydrated making sure to drink enough water because the Brain Burn gets tough to deal with at times. Speaking of Water…

Then just last Friday night went for a Full Moon Sail. A party of 10 of us went out on Lake Michigan. We had a sublime Orange-Glowing, low hanging, Full Moon to guide us out of the harbor….Soooo absolutely Beautiful sight! Sister Gaia in HER Glory. When we got out on the water, some of us dared the elements to go swimming off the Bow… Too Glorious an experience! As I hung onto the safety line dragging through the water behind the boat, the warm, luxurious water was washing over me at a slow pace (2-3 knots tops) very sensual experience and very stimulating…and O My O Soma Drop started kickin in over-time!!! The other folks on the boat were nodding off and there was I drifting in the Endless Ocean of Bliss, dripping and singing and howling at the Moon. The water was rushing over me, around me and I was RUSHING!!!!!!!! On Fire and quaking with the Beauty and Love of Nature.

He threshes you to make you naked.
He sifts you to free you from your husks.
He grinds you to whiteness.
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
Kahlil Gibran
The Prophet, On Love

My experience was definitely contrasting to the others present on our Full Moon Cruise!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Jayme and Alan for the lovely adventure.

Close your eyes

Do you feel my heart beating

Do YOU FEEL the Same

Am I only Dreaming

OR is this Burning an Eternal Flame????????????????????????????

Magnum Opus

2011-06-14T23:11:00.000-07:00

Met a very interesting woman during my travels today. She is visiting my City from Hawaii. She is a research psychologist working with community mental health care clinics/agencies to aid them to inquire into monitoring and activating the archetypes of their communities. [Thank you Ms. Psychologist for your words of wisdom and gracious conversation. Aloha!]

In conjunction with this synchronistic conversation, I have been reading a book entitled: Aging, Death and the Quest for Immortality. In the final pages of this treatise, it speaks of the Art of Alchemy and the search for the magnum opus. “The Philosopher’s Stone would become the glimmering “elixir of life, “ the universal cure for all diseases. Producing the Philosopher’s Stone was the alchemist’s ultimate dream, for it alone was imagined to be capable of prolonging life indefinitely and securing for the alchemist the “virtue” of eternal youth. The laborious task of producing the Philosopher’s Stone was termed the magnum opus, or GREAT WORK.

As our Great Wheel of Life turns to create the next evolution of our creation, how do we work to reveal the concealed truth on the next rung of our ladder of manifestation? What archetypes are needed in this tumultuous time of transition and turbulence? Can we Co-create this transformation through CREATIVITY and not destruction? Can we evolve the OLD ways of conflict resolution? How do we manifest a New World Order that serves the Greater Good? How do we fulfill the prophesied completion of our time as spoken of in (1 Corinthians 15:51-54) Behold, I tell you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Historically Western Cultures have labeled this path of the Quest for Immortality as the Path of the Red Lion. Can we collectively, journey together to support our social alchemy to manifest this dream into reality? Is this magnum opus too Great a Work for our time? Can supporting the truth of this laborious task become the goal of our New World Order?

Amortal or Truly Immortality???

2011-05-15T11:03:00.000-07:00

Read an article in some magazine lately that labeled the search for the

Fountain of Youth

in Hollywood as AMORTAL. Seems Immortality has a new label = AMORTAL. Seems folks are not aging in their pictures and taking to many procedures to maintain their youthful look....Cher and Madonna come to mind in this moment. [http://slumz.boxden.com/f218/madonna-immortal-new-pics-met-ball-nyc-may-2011-a-1538998/ ]

And Madonna is big into the Kabbalah as well. Madonna some day when you read this, want to learn a deeper meaning of the ...

Kabbalah????

I have found lately that when I awaken while lying on either side, I awaken to feeling the O Soma Drop dripping. When I awaken lying on my back my tongue is curled in my mouth. Almost every morning I have to move through a time of struggling to get conscious as if through a drugged fog and push out of the horizontal connection with my bed, into a vertical awareness of my body. And these days that has become very difficult because of the pain I have been experiencing in most of my glands =especially my throat of late.

So what do I sense is taking place. Well, two years ago when my chakras were shifting into a total upward aspect, I was experiencing a great deal of pain as well. It took about 6 months to resolve. What did I understand about that stage of transformation?

From Enlightenment by MSI, Appendix 2 = The i∂a and the pi∫galaoriginate in the base chakra and terminate in the sixth chakra. The pi∫gala is white and carriessolar energy and the forces of the day. This energy moves our consciousness upward toward the rational. The i∂a is black and carries lunar energy and the forces of the night. Its downward movement takes us into the unconscious, the source of regeneration, creativity and intuition. In the average person, life energy flows primarily along the i∂a and the pi∫gala, supplying energy to the sense organs and faculties of awareness that maintain the illusion of the world. It is only with the awakening of enlightenment that the energy flows fully and completely up the central channel, the suΩumna. When this happens, the chakras reverse their orientation from downward and outward to upward and inward. [page 295 of the electronic version…If you are interested in reading the text email me and I will send you the ebook! The book Enlightenment is MSI’s crowning work! And, if you are interested in learning Ascension…Please see http://www.ishayaintegralcoaching.com/]

PS – I have folks reading this blog from all over the world. Have you learned how to Ascend yet???

So why all the pain and what is changing now? Well, I can only surmise by the level of turmoil in my system that the same kind of energetic process is taking place but in REVERSE!!! My chakras are reversing again as my chakras have grown to stabilize an always, all the time level of inflation, if you will. A month ago I started taking Iodide to alleviate the pain in my neck and to kick up my metabolism to another level. I went through a major expansion in February. When the drip was constantly dripping there for 3 ½ to 4 days in a row. In Chinese Medicine the drip is considered an overflow of good chemicals that need to stay circulating in the blood stream. So, over the last two years I kept growing practices that kept the drip from dripping! And now the chemicals have grown my glands into a new level of pain!!!! My breasts feel like they are lactating, fulminating. They grew from a size C to DDD!

And, here I go trying to figure out what is the next body of practices I need to learn to move out of this pain!!!

I have stepped up my pranayama practices to condition my body to be able to absorb more prana. I am working a part-time position that has pushed me to do a great deal of physical labor…cleaning and painting boats! And, the pain levels from that conditioning are over the top for it to be just muscle soreness from physical conditioning. The pain in my lungs increases daily along with the soreness at the sides of my neck!!! Have yous guys heard of cases when babies were born with what can only be gills exposed??? [Is the Human Embryo Essentially a Fish with Gills?
by David N. Menton, Ph.D.] http://www.gennet.org/.

Because of the pain in my neck and the pain in my lungs, I can only surmise that this stage of development is pushing me to become a breatharian.

Solve et Coagula

2011-04-11T21:17:00.000-07:00

Well, recently I experienced another expansion. I woke up around 3am with the scary feeling of liquid oozing from my ears. My first conclusion was that my ears were bleeding. After quickly turning on my bedside light to see if the fluid was red, I was able to breathe a bit of relief when I found it to be clear and concluded it was watery and not bloody fluid. As I made my way to the bathroom to take care of business the fluid really started to flow. After, I sat to relieve my water waste the fluid flow shifted to my eyes. Almost as soon as my watery waste stream fluid flow began the stream of fluid from my ears shifted to my eyes. And, I was NOT feeling sad for the stream of water to be tears. As my waste stream moved to solid waste disposal the fluid flow moved to my nose. The watery stream shifted quickly and in association with how my wastes were flowing. The stream shifted quickly and was very disconcerting. It just seemed like an up swell of over-flowing clear fluid that finally stopped after my waste streams were cleared.

Why am I writing about this? It was a very strange experience. I later spoke to my acupuncturist about the incident and he said it was part and parcel of the purification my alchemical process was undergoing. The fluid flow was an indication of the damp heat rising. Each of the meridians connecting with the small intestine, gall bladder, bladder and governing meridian are Yang meridians (movement of heat) and end or begin in and around the ears, eyes and nose area.

I have been practicing various Qigong practices [Micro Cosmic Orbit and Embryonic Breathing practices] as well as Willow Waste White Tigress practices and my Advaita Vedanta: Ascension practice.

"The Vase of the Art of Alchemistry is the Soul (Yetzirah), the Fire of the Art is Spirit (Briah - the spiritual world or higher self) and the Furnace of the Art is the Body (Assiah). The Golden Solar Body is the fruit of the Great Work; Green Apples on the Tree of Life are yet, too young and inexperienced to undertake this journey."

Sexual Islamic Revolution

2011-03-23T14:27:00.000-07:00

March 23, 2011

We are all watching the Islamic uprising of turbulence and strife about governance and leadership. Where is the Female Leadership in these Nation States??? Without a true Sexual Revolution in the Middle East no real change will occur. There is an HBO series that fleshes out Mormon Multiple partnership marriage = polygamy. This Mormon family deals with many issues that arise within multiple marriages living within a committed polygamist relationship. How many of you reading this understand that the majority of Islamic householders have more than one wife? Yes, culturally it is the norm and in wealthier households the Male Head of the House may have upwards to hundreds of partners in a year, not to mention a life-time. And, we were all affronted at Tiger Woods behavior when his exploits came to light. It is the norm in the upper echelons of many of the worlds cultures. His case and behavior was the ONE that was spot-lighted. It is the norm in many of the wealthier households of our WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many of you are aware of the Sexual Slave Trade? CNN just did a series of specials on the Sexual Slave Trade and how it is alive and thriving in Africa and most of Asia. O and we think badly of Tiger Woods. Al least he didn't keep sex slaves housed in various locations.

When do we women stand up for our conjugal rights. And, even a greater truth is when do MEN begin to honor their Hearts in connection to their genitals???? True enlightenment integrates processes. Only when men understand the deeper processes of conjugal connections and how these relationships grow awareness will we grow into Enlightened Society.

The White Tigress Path high-lights some of these practices. And, even those practices have shadow elements of age-old supremacy and dominance. A very fine fictional story that fleshes out a more Enlightened Male-Female Love Bond is Jade Lee's = Hungry Tigress.

Yesterday, I passed a woman on the street dressed in full-head gear walking with her FOUR children. Tell me that is not slavery. I asked her why she was wearing that covering? And validated to her that she had a Beautiful Face.

Only when our cultural context evolves and we have a true Female Revolution will we have Egalitarian Society.

Breathing Lessons – The Integral Life Practice (ILP) Way.

2011-03-04T04:13:00.000-08:00

Breathing Lessons – The Integral Life Practice (ILP) Way.

Well, this morning again the pain has shifted to new and different spaces and places. The various pain filled places on my body move me to recall some of the greatest adventures of all of this lifetime. First off, my right knee is very, very, very pain filled and a bit stiff as I am working to loosen and limber it. I remember it experiencing a pretty frightening bike wreak down a back Kentucky Hallow way back when I was in the Fifth grade. My Mom and I decided to go for a bike ride one afternoon. She rode my old standard braking bike and I got to ride my Brothers brand spanking new 10 speed bike for the first time. Unbeknownst to him and with my Mother’s permission as she was on the ride with me, he he… Off we went, up and down hill and dale having a grand Ol’ time, when as I was catching wind and speed down a hill, what do ya know here comes a really big truck around a tree shrouded corner. In my automatic old braking response I hit the brakes with my feet and did not stop or slow but lost control. And, hit the road with my knee, shin and chin ending up further down the road, ending in the ditch carrying rocks and dirt in wounds and scraps all along my Louisiana Lily White Ass.

Which makes me think of the second most pain filled area…the lower lumbar region of my spinal column. I took a tumble down a flight of stairs after I caught my heal in the edge of one of the stairs when I was 29. Of course Doctors wanted to do surgery to patch it up; I refused. And, took myself to a reputable Chiropractor. After eight months of adjustments and special exercises I could finally sleep the night through without pain pills. Feeling the F-ing pain of it healing to a deeper level in this moment is just as fun as I remembered it being back then. Falling on your ass hurts whichever way you slice it.

And, my hip joints are painin’ me as well. Another walkabout years back when my hips hit the pavement from rolling out of harm’s way…ending with Two hip pointers and road burn but no broken bones that time. Along with the hip joint pain, an old broken wrist injury is aching as well.

Also in this moment, the soles of my feet are aching something awful. Geez O wheez, don’t really want to remember that walkabout. Lost all ten of my toenails during that adventure, along with some major layers of frost-bitten skin. Luckily, I still have all my little piggies going to the market with me after that rondaveax. (How do ya spell Fido in Cajun French?– Phideaux).

So, in response to these levels and layers of pain my knowing is that ILP just becomes a more vigorous and compassionate journey to work it through the body/mind. Integral Life Practice becomes more complex and healing as one climbs Jacob’s ladder.

It is my knowing and growing understanding that the most natural way to heal the body is to move it. And, what could be a more fun endeavor but to move it with a Loving Friend. Ken Wilber concurs with this knowing, but the Dalai Lama doesn’t for in his most knowledgeable treatise, Integral Spirituality - Wilber states, “According to his secretary, The Dalai Lama believes homosexuality is a sin, anal sex is a sin, and oral sex is bad karma, etc. When everybody KNOWS that oral sex is not bad karma, only bad oral sex is bad karma!” (Wilber, 2006).

So, here I sit hurting, healing, greening and rolling on my balance ball as my chair working out the kinks in my body/world.

Blessings Be to All Ya’ll,

Ascension works if ya work it….

I AM NUMBER FOUR: The Work of the Kabbalist.

2011-02-28T18:40:00.000-08:00

Have you seen the movie: I AM NUMBER FOUR??? For those who have the skills to see and interpret the material presented it is a very clear and informative depiction of what the Work of the Kabbalist requires. Jesus knew of this work, he spoke of it to his disciples in parables. Matthew recounted this knowledge in his (now Historical Biblical reference) Matthew 7:14 – “Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadth into life, and few there be that find it.”

Well, there are a few in this Post-modern age that found the straight gate. One must evolve the skills to maneuver, via the Path of the Sages, into and through the STRAIGHT GATE. My Spiritual Teacher MSI taught, “Mastery brings freedom throughout the structure of creation, for one who is re-aligned with the omnipresent Source of all that is gains the ability to leave the body along the Solar Path, the Path of the Sages, at will.” (MSI: Enlightenment. Pada III Sutra 40)

Now in this statement one Key to Understand, among many is the understanding of the term: AT WILL. Does this will have a personal tone? Is will a collective term? How does one grow will?

I find answers to conundrums in interesting places. This passage written by Rajesh Singh: Human Species and Beyond states: “ It is in this context that the impending spiritualization of life, suggested so strongly by the current amount of total anarchy and confusion, provides us with pointers. If we choose to follow them, the ongoing separation of the important domains of life –political, economic, and religious –can be evolved to pave way for actions and thoughts that derive their fuel from a never-dying passion to give man his due. This being the recognition of his psychic self, which seeks to grow but with the help of such helpful attendant factors that give life cohesion and tranquility. Foremost among these factors is the recognition of a UNIVERSAL value-framework of life that relegates to the backwaters values that create mutual distrust and unhealthy competition, and substitutes in their place adherence to the inviolable ethos of mutual respect and compatibility. Rousseau was wrong to think that man was BORN FREE. He is born to BECOME FREE by advancing his individual psychic self to new levels of growth that can only come through by assimilating in his person the lessons emerging from a new SET OF LIFE. The problem is not that of finding suitable material circumstances to live the life out by its convenient consumption. The problem is that of making the man free by ensuring his growth by means of sociopolitical circumstances that are directed to the end-purpose of his spiritual growth. It is only by attaining supramentalhood that man shall eventually become free. It is this that shall immune us from the fear of death and state in explicit terms how we continue to live after death and get reborn innumerable number of times. And yes, there is there is no rebirth of the soul. In knowing our noumenal selves, we shall rise above the obsessive commitments of short-term lives and awaken to the stakes that stretch beyond millions and billions of years.” P 135.

Now, in this moment of reflection and connection are we at the place in our psychic noumenal development to inhabit THESE vehicles of THIS birth to achieve, grow beyond, evolve into BEING millions and billions of years in this Holy Vessel???

My statement of truth is this: There are many who are doing this work ALREADY and are NOT understanding what it is they are truly engaged in DOING!!! We who have come to lead this march are being relegated to the back of the bus by the leadership of ignorance and powers in place that have not yet been initiated in this Life Set of Skills.

"Gnothi Seauton" ....Know Thyself has many levels of meaning. The Deeper you go, the more you know. Higher up; IS Deeper IN!!!!!

Do you need a Coach/Sherpa to guide your way in and up?????

Transcendent SEX....Are U getting ANY???

2011-02-05T09:42:00.000-08:00

TRANSCENDENT SEX

Enlightenment offers greater levels of awareness and experience!!! In her book Transcendent Sex: Dr. Jenny Wade offers her research results after studying individual accounts of their sexual encounters.

How do yOUR experiences stack up?

Curious to compare if your meditation program is offering you like results?

The commitment to consciously engage in a crucible, Committed Enlightened Sexual Relationship and/or spiritual community must arise from a platform of psychology and philosophy that forever moves to serve and incorporate the subtle structures of greater and greater wholes WITHOUT DESTROYING THE PREVIOUS SUBSTRATE (verticle development). This task requires commitment horizontally and vertically. This is not about producing the next episode of Wife Swap or reproduction of the next generation. The goal is to commit to anchoring the Twin Flame bond both vertically and horizontally. When you are engaged in a couples’ tennis tournament it does not serve to switch partners in the middle of play. Subtle bonds are engaged, the WORK is to reel in the Chain of Being of the combined monads; to birth the Cosmic Egg. Here one earns the wages of immortality! Also, we as incarnated beings create correspondences within and without, As Above, So Below; our internal astrological charts so to speak, reflect the outer ones. Engaging in this subtle engine of manifestation will gain our species much knowledge…

As one begins to subrate into The Great Self, to understand and utilize the principles and underlying laws of greater domains, the truth of the experience of non-dual self, the purity of the Level of Mind becomes self-evident. “Since the various levels of consciousness are the products of Maya or dualism, then they must exist only in an illusory fashion, with the REALTIY of each level remaining always as Mind, Brahman, and Chitta.¹Also, as one begins to experience the Great Self, one begins to realize that it can never be thought about. It just is. Suzuki put it simply: “As Reality is beyond all forms of dualism, in it there are no contrasts, and so no characterization of it is possible.”2

Consequently the ultimate stage of growth is beyond description. It can only be experienced. Words point the finger of knowing. Only one who has stabilized this state can recognize it in another. Ultimately, creating dual consciousness becomes a choice, a habit of ignorance. One must be taught to direct awareness and choose for something different-conscious evolution. Ken Wilber expounds this truism by stating:

“The creation of the dualism of life vs. death is simultaneously the creation of time – for in the timelessness of the eternal Mind there is neither birth nor death, beginning nor end, past nor future, which is why Schrödinger could state, ‘I venture to call it [Mind] indestructible since it has a peculiar time-table, namely Mind is always NOW. There is really no before and after for Mind.’ And Norman O. Brown concludes, ‘Thus we arrive at the idea that life and death are in some sort of unity at the organic level, that at the human level they are separated into conflicting opposites. The consequence of the disruption of the unity of Life and Death in man is to make man the historical animal.’ In other words, birth and death, past and future are one in the eternal NOW, so that in separating birth from death a person necessarily separates past from future, and so consequently is thrown out of the timeless NOW and into historical time. And, that is the Existential Level: individuals identified exclusively with the organism, as it exists in space and time. We might also mention that since this primary dualism separates the seer from the seen, the subject from the object, it simultaneously creates space.³

This understanding differentiates Mind from Brain with awareness becoming immersed in MIND. MSI stated:

“Beyond form, beyond thought, beyond concepts of being or non- being, our individual consciousness plunges into the fathomless sea of the clear light of the Ascendant, becoming the ONE. As we integrate this ultimate experience, we begin to identify with the whole living being through its myriad parts. The individual body-mind recognizes that it is a conscious hologram of the entire UNIVERSE. This is the doorway to immortality, for the individual has become the incarnate expression of ALL-THAT-IS. A life of service and cooperation with cosmic forces begins and continues Forever.”⁴

Here one learns the truth of Thy Will and the illusory notion of free will. Freedom is not Free!!! Trust, surrender and engagement with higher frequencies, teaches one the meaning of Cosmic Forces. As the Subration process moves one into the experience of ALL-IS-ONE, personal will is subsumed. The domain of personal will is subsumed to the experience of surrender to the ALL. This is the grace and power of Leshavidya and Subration’s most subtle teaching.

Don Antonio, an Inca Shaman, said that it is,

“Interesting how all assume that time flows in one direction only, that the end of time is something that will happen when we run out of minutes and seconds. Stepping outside of time is a process. By learning to step into that sacred self that never left the Garden of Eden, we learn to step into Eternity! A new human, Homo luminus, is being born this very instant on our planet. He believed that evolution happens within generations, not in between generations, as biology believes. This means WE are that “new human” that new species. We are the ones that we have been waiting for! Our question no longer is can we make a quantum leap into who we are becoming, but rather dare we do so?”⁵

Historically there have been explorers who have challenged the consensus reality of their time. Christopher Columbus challenged the accepted belief “Earth is flat”. The Wright Brothers challenged the accepted belief “If Man were meant to fly, we would have wings.” These explorers discovered new territory and challenged their own and others generally accepted limitations.

Are we Immortals?

“Today the pendulum of Life hangs taut in Geburah, ready to swing slowly back to the cohesiveness of Chesed in the Pillar of Mercy, or to go off into total chaos. The Qabalistic concept of veils which conceal the truth, teaches us to always look behind the appearance, and even behind the appearance of the appearance for the real reasons for such events.⁶ Or do we as a collective evolve beyond the paradigm of WAR to resolve our differences. Do WE learn to consciously evolve? My Teacher is fond of saying “Choices become more important not less, as ONE evolves further and further.” The Great Teachers all point to Calvary as the road the personal ego must take.

Jesus said, “If thine eye be single (one-pointed), thy whole body shall be full of light.⁷He also stated one must ‘Let the dead bury their dead. Follow thou Me.’ Everlasting Life, Immortality, Enlightenment are realizable truths! MSI said, “Come unite, children of Light and Truth and Joy, and we will transform the Earth in one generation into Paradise, into the Garden of Eden. We stand on the threshold of a new age, an age prophesied in all parts of the world for thousands of years.”⁸

The Tibetan blessing says, “May you be reborn in a land where the dharma is taught.” And also, “May you live in interesting times.”

Om Asatoma Sad Gamaya

Tamasoma Jyothir Gamaya

Mrityorma Umritam Gamaya

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi

“Lead us from unreality to reality

From darkness to light

From death to immortality

Om Peace, Peace, Peace.”⁹

Are we able and ready to become transformed? The Art of Subration is a simple process once one understands the basic principles of operation. The growth of consciousness is the same throughout the spectrum of consciousness. Although it is simple, it is not easy! In the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know” (2004) Ramtha beseeches viewers to learn to dream. Dreaming is a state of consciousness, a frequency of awareness. There are higher states of consciousness beyond dreaming. The dreams have been dreamt, the songs have been sung. The time has come for the work to be done! WORK to subrate into more of the surround, in every greater NOW; WORK to remove the veils of separation. The abomination of horizontal integration must be usurped – as depicted in the movie, Skeleton Key (2005). Works of divine union contained by Jacob’s ladder yield wages of immortality. There have been warriors for land, warriors for oil, warriors for various dogmas, Where are the Warriors for Peace? There is a level of impassioned engagement, a warrior-ship of practice needed to earn the entrance into the Pearly Gates. If you have gained the blessing of a Precious Human Birth you are on the Stairway to Heaven. Most of the esoteric teachings agree there are seven Lokas or regions of habitation and seven Hell Realms. They are enfolded and unfolding. Whether you work up the down staircase consciously or down the up staircase (un)consciously, is a choice. You have gained entrance to the staircase by earning this Precious Human Birth. The movie Fallen (1998) with Denzel Washington clearly depicts what conscious engagement may look like when working up the down staircase. The movie Constantine (2005) with Keanu Reeves depicts more subtle interactions. This production very clearly depicts the truth of what being baptized should accomplish for one's awareness; the imagery clearly reveals the understanding of what it is to have ones’ awareness reborn. The movie Ghost with Demi Moore, Patrick Swazy and Whoopi Goldberg is another movie which fleshes out many deep truths. As a Shaman may touch your forehead; seek the true Pot of Gold beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

This discourse has offered a concise overview of the process of evolution of our species growth of consciousness. Modern psychology overlooks the deeper interactions of soul growth. Historically, leaps of growth have been mislabeled and feared. By identifying the goals of consciousness and understanding the terrain to be traversed one can more easily attain the outcome! Also, the discussion of the process of Subration and the ground one may encounter during the process makes one's personal journey less treacherous. And by outlining the skills of translation needed to traverse the territory one is better informed and more likely to succeed. Ultimately, as one grows to encounter gap consciousness and other phenomena which I observed during my journey, we as a species can evolve into an Enlightened Species-Homo luminus!

Are we ready to mature? Can we as a collective step into the Solar Path? What is the highest order covenant our species has within nature?

How Much Does Depression Hurt?

2011-01-29T23:09:00.000-08:00

How much Does Depre$$ion Hurt?

Do you ever wonder why so many folks are on anti-depression medication? How much are Americans, the World $pending on anti-depressants? WHY?

For me after I left spiritual community the experience of the Divine faded a bit. Ken Wilber describes this phase of development in his Transformations of Consciousness (1986), “Once the soul obtains a direct taste or experience of the Divine, with concomitant vision, ecstasy, or clarity, and that experience begins to fade (which it initially does), the soul may suffer a profound abandonment depression. The soul HAS SEEN its meaning in life, its daemon or destiny, only to have it fade – that is the Dark Night.”

It has taken patience and compassionate marching to my inner drummer to overcome this darkness. I left spiritual community in 2000. Haven’t been dealing with depression lately just lots of brain chemistry phenomena. Most recently, the addition of some very helpful supplements have aided my growth. Dr. Daniel Amen has worked diligently to offer sane advice in the pages of his book: Change your Brain, Change your Body (2010). Yes, I know hard to imagine that I would recommend any useful knowledge could be found written by any Doctor educated within the Western Medical Model. For the most part it is my knowing there is little difference between the corner drug dealer and those holding prescription pads. Over the years, I have relied on Chinese Herbs and those trained in Chinese Medicine = Classical Chinese Medicine (not Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM) which does not separate the body and the mind. [CCM integrates the spiritual domain and TCM does not].

Personally, found Amen’s advice for my particular brain type to be very helpful. The supplement 5-htp has definitely smoothed out the flux into a more flowing going. Also thought it would aid to relieve the pain in my adrenals. Just this past week I added PS – phosphatidylserine. [Specifically Puritan's Pride - Neuro PS Gold with added Vinpocetine and other brain food.] Amen also suggested PS as an aid to relieving adrenal fatigue and supporting the growth of cell membranes, specifically neuronal networks. Thought that would be an added aid to relief in most of my more painful glands =reproductive and immune. (They only hurt when I breath.) The added supplement certainly has aided the growth of my brain chemistry. I had been seeing in Technicolor off and on at different times over the last few months. Refer to them as Yellow Submarine days. Yous guys remember seeing the movie featuring The Beatles' Songs way back when? Filled with wild colors and hues of many more, psychedelic was the label then. Saw it as a kid! These days more and more I have been living that reality. More specifically after I have added the PS. Wow, been a bit fun and funny. But the side effects of more skull pain of growth off-sets the Beauty – a bit. More oily hair days from oiling my scalp. Paradox in motion = feeling drugged out, seeing more colors than a 64 box of Crayons could ever imagine to hold and yet more glands hurt in more ways every day. Analyze This response pattern Sir/Madam prescription pad holder!

Enlightenment = More color-filled living. Learning to live with all this brain chemistry activation makes for interesting times. Been running into door jambs more than I like to admit. Seems my feeling of wideness affects my depth perception. Never a dull moment. They are getting brighter every day! Two days ago, after a yoga class, hot tub time and swim I had GOLD hours, literally. Reminded me of the final scenes in Matrix III, when Keanu Reeves was seeing with the blindfold on – through his inner sight. NOW, those were some supreme sights. It faded after a few hours.

Here’s wishing Ya’ll Golden Moments, may the petals of your Mind Blossom and the Bluebird of Happiness fly up your nose instead of white powder. The real deal is much more long-lasting…Everlasting??? Course ya got to do the work to get the Fountain of Youth to flow....Ascension anyone? Pass the cup....to the Tipping Point!

Onward and Upward

IS yOUR Mental Health Care just a Marketing Scheme?

IS yOUR Mental Health Care just a Marketing Scheme???

“Psychiatrists collect more drug company money than physicians in any other specialties. Times reporters’ findings, discovered Minnesota’s last eight presidents of the Minnesota Psychiatric Society took money from drug-makers. Senator Chuck Grassley, a well known watchdog of the pharmaceutical industry, on the floor of the Senate said, “I am going to report on the actions of one physician to explain how industry payments to medical experts can affect medical practice.” DelBello had been commissioned by AstraZeneca to do a study on the use of their antipsychotic Seroquel, when the results were positive for the drug, the company hired her to give lectures about the treatment. AstraZeneca paid DelBello $100,000 in 2003 and $80,000 in 2004 for various consulting or speaking gigs. And this $180,000 was only income from one drug company; DelBello had also worked with seven other companies. And to add injury to insult, one Doctor witch told reporters he had been convinced to prescribe antipsychotics to children in part because he had attended lectures by a researcher named DelBello. Many of his patients were children who were diagnosed with bipolar disorder, witch is a controversial diagnosis in this age group. [Anybody read Indigo Children?]

The question is: Is Dr. X prescribing a drug because he got a consulting fee or money from a particular organization that’s connected with the production of that drug? Does the public have the right to know whether the physician has a possible interest in PUSHING one drug versus the other because of some financial arrangement? “If that information’s published you’re most likely going to have people act a little more ethically????”

Grassley’s investigation of Massachusetts General Hospital found three CHILD PSYCHIATRISTS –Biederman, Wilens, and Spencer – who had made $4.2 MILLION in combined personal income from drug companies over a seven-year period, but had only disclosed a small fraction to the university as required. Something more insidious was at work than profiteering on the growth of consciousness, those psychiatrists who received the MOST money from companies that marketed antipsychotic drugs like Risperdal wrote three times as many prescriptions of these drugs for children as other doctors.

The more crucial issue was the fact that these psychiatrists were ‘double-dipping,” because they were making millions as hired guns while at the same time receiving taxpayer money from NIH (National Institute of Health) to do publically funded research. NIH has a strict conflict-of-interest policy ….which states that publically funded researchers can only make $10,000 per year, and that these researchers fully disclose these arrangements to their university. NIH does not want this money to influence how you conduct and interpret your studies.

[This blog paraphrased from Carlat’s: Unhinged: The Trouble with Psychiatry – A Doctor’s Revelations about a Profession in Crisis, 2010)

How many Millionaire Psychiatrists are there?

Are they just drug reps with an MD?

Last night after reading for an hour I started to feel really high, as in feeling expanded and loopy- drugged out. The O Soma Drop dripped a couple of times and My eyes were dilated to the point I would not walk out of my apartment without my sunglasses on for fear of someone seeing their size and concluding I was taking street drugs. The sutures/seams in my skull were a bit on the hot side, so I oiled them as I do most nights. If I don’t oil them they will really, really hurt the next morning.

Any researchers want to do some real research? How about studying what the chemical composition is of these drops, dripping down my throat? You don't even have to take a blood sample????? How much TRUTH could there be in one little drop?

How many Millionaire Psychiatrists are there?

Do they experience the O Soma Drop phenomenon?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Privatizing Money....Our one TRUE Global Commodity

2011-01-26T18:13:00.000-08:00

Would it be possible to privatize the money supply in the United States completely? In doing so, what would be the primary obstacle to overcome in implementing such a policy?

Thomas Jefferson was adamantly opposed to the idea of a privately owned federal bank and said " I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies".

Thomas Jefferson also stated, "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our constitution. I am an enemy to all banks, discounting bills or notes for anything but coin. If the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

"Let me issue and control a nation's money, and I care not who writes its laws" ---Mayer Amschel Rothschild-

Historically, the United States has had three Federal Reserve Systems. The first two lasted about 20 years each and the last one has lasted now for almost 100 years. On December 23, 1913, Presdient Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. This Act transferred control of the money supply of the United States from Congress as defined in the U.S. Constitution to the private banking elite. The Federal Reserve is a private cartel of bankers that has 12 branch banks.

“The Primary Owners of the Federal Reserve Bank Are:
1. Rothschild's of London and Berlin
2. Lazard Brothers of Paris
3. Israel Moses Seaf of Italy
4. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of Germany and New York
5. Warburg & Company of Hamburg, Germany
6. Lehman Brothers of New York
7. Goldman, Sachs of New York
8. Rockefeller Brothers of New York
All the primary owners are branches of European establishments. Foreigners, almost entirely Jewish, control the United States Money supply. They literally own exclusive rights to the dollar and simply enter dollars into their banks books to make money which they then lend back to us at a profit. For them money does not grow on trees, it is simply a data entry into their account. The owners of this bank have been responsible for instigating all the major wars and depressions in the last 100 years. There have been assassination attempts on every President who attempted to eliminate these private National Banks. Some credit these Banksters with the demise of JFK. The privately held Federal Reserve Bank has not once been audited and never pays any income tax on their astonishing income.” (www.libertyforlife.com, 2010)

The Federal Reserve act was not the only unconstitutional bill pushed through congress in 1913. The Sixteenth Amendment was also pushed through the same year, which gives Congress the power to collect taxes based on income, without regard to the States or the Census. The Federal Reserve System wherein every dollar created is an instrument of debt requires the collection of large sums of money from the people to pay off the interest.

How is money actually created? It's very simple. “Someone walks over to a computer and types 160,000 beside your name. With only $27.93 of cash reserves for every $10,000 of assets (as of June 1999) the bank has just created the remaining $159,553 of that interest-earning money out of thin air. When, after 25 years of hard work, you pay off your mortgage, the $159,553 vanishes back into thin air. Not so the interest however.” ( http://www.basicincome.com/, 2009). The interest gets compounded and is income to the Federal Reserve Banksters and it becomes a national debt if the borrower is the United States Government.

What is the primary obstacle in overcoming implementing this policy? It is the Blue Bloods who now own the keys to the bank vaults of our economic system. “There will never be world peace, there will never be economic stability, there will never be a free economy as long as these banksters control the worlds money supply. Their goal is to achieve a socialist (elitist, controlled) one world government - a "New World Order", as is printed in Latin on their $1 Note.” (www.libertyforlife.com, 2010) In light of this knowledge of how our monetary system works, I sincerely think the road to paying off our national debt is to abolish the Federal Reserve Bankster system which would mean the privatization of our money supply.

Now the true question is are we on the road to a more equitable planetary system of economic exchange? We must not waste a good crisis; we are now in an international DEPRESSION. To achieve Peace on Earth, would it not actually mean integrating our complex monetary system into an international ONE-currency exchange system privatizing all currencies. Thereby, eliminating the influence of ALL state oversight and allowing for the market itself to check and balance itself. The marketplace should be (in a true and just, Enlightened Society) the only true monetary system; privatized interchange guided by the people AND for the people by their creativity, imagineering and entrepreneurial skills.

The idea is not all that radical. It started out that way. Can it come full circle, As it was in the beginning…If governments had let money alone it would have developed just like other goods did. It has been power and greed the shadow aspects of leadership which motivated societal leaders to shape our destiny.

Only when Enlightenment, the higher ethics and ideals of concern and service to Self as knowing no separation between I and ANY another shall the citizens of this planet know Freedom and responsibility for ourselves and our Brothers and Sisters. We have moved to a global communication network and an interdependent commercial system. The one knowing that concerned many leaders during this most recent downturn in the market was how one change rippled throughout the system. Can we deny the interdependence of our economic fronts any longer? Is it competition or cooperation that we need to master?

"As LEADERS shift their focus to customers/CITIZENS and quality, they realize that the old authoritarian leadership style does not work anymore. To achieve quality, service, and rapid response, leaders must utilize all available talent. They must find ways to inspire, involve, and empower employees and CITIZENS. They must create a work AND LIVING environment that encourages commitment, innovation, and cooperation. Instead of evaluating, leaders now coach. Instead of doing, they delegate. Instead of telling, they facilitate. No one is expected to boss anyone. Everyone is expected to participate." ~(Dr. Suzanne Willis Zoglio in The Participative Leader)

How does an integrated monetary system operate? One where all parties are responsible to the whole and are required to participate and share goods and services in exchange for the opportunity to create life anew. Knowing that if one fails we ALL fail to survive, thrive, and prosper.

Everlasting… Peace and Goodwill towards each other,

Blessings Be,

Bliss Consciousness and the Addictive Response

2011-01-25T12:27:00.000-08:00

Bliss Consciousness and the Addictive Response

“Sat-Chit-Ananda is a triple consciousness. Sat is existence, Chit is consciousness and Ananda is bliss; Sat-Chit-Ananda is the triple consciousness on the highest plane, and that plane is for the absolutely chosen few. To reach Sat-Chit-Ananda is a most difficult thing. Hardly twenty or thirty Masters have reached it and stayed at that plane, and hardly one or two can embody it. Some Masters have reached that plane and immediately came down because it was too high for them. It is much easier for people to reach the illumined mind or the Supermind, but Sat-Chit-Ananda is absolutely the highest. That consciousness is almost impossible to attain, even for the spiritual Masters.” (www.yogaofsrichinmoy.com)

Why is this state of Being so impossible to attain? Is it impossible? Does it require a guide, Sherpa? Well, in my experience it is because the higher (some would say altered) chemistry, generated by heightened alchemical processes, causes many challenges. It has been my experience and learning that each successive fulcrum of attainment has its own characteristic challenges.

Do you ask yourself in our Modern Age why IS there so much ADDICTION? What is creating this pervasive response pattern? Is there a higher goal that is being shrouded by these side-ways attempts to attain higher ground? Are these neuronal pathways, chemical highways naturally present in our nervous systems?

We have become tolerant of drunken states in our Modern Consumptive Western Society. Spirits manufactured to create an altered state, consumed to attain Nirvana quickly. Yet, all too quickly evaporates from our daily experience.

Sexual addiction that generates altered states that in turn, create an altered heightened state.

Street drugs that actively generate altered states and consumed by the BILLIONS!!!

Why are we as a Society motivated to create this addictive response pattern? Is there a higher goal that is being shrouded by these side-ways attempts to attain higher ground?

“Saccidānanda, Satchidananda, or Sat-cit-ānanda is a compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat, Cit, And Ananda (the ā is of longer vocal length), meaning truth, consciousness, and bliss respectively.The expression comes from Hinduism and is used in yoga and other schools of Indian Philosophy to describe the nature of Brahman as experienced by a fully liberated yogi or saint. As it is maintained that this experience is one of unification, the three phenomenologically distinct concepts are nonetheless regarded as representing the unity of the ultimate reality. Saccidānanda may be understood as the energetic state of non-duality, a manifestation of our spiritually natural, primordial and authentic state.” (www.wikipedia.org).
