We were told a story from one of our friends about a young mormon boy who he went to school with. He told us that the boy was a very happy kid and as polite as you could want. He was genuinely a good person and he was brought up in a way that made others value him because of the quality of his nature. One day during school a rumor started that a boy had died. Later they found out it was the boy. Everyone in the school dealt with a tragedy that day. Everyone could be found crying, sad, and consoling one another. Suddenly a reality hit them all that would forever change their lives. It was the idea that life ended, and sometimes, unexpectedly short.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Evelyn_De_Morgan_-_Angel_of_Death.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Evelyn_De_Morgan_-_Angel_of_Death.jpg" height="320" width="247" /></a>During my biggest spiritual growth period I came up with a name for this called The Angel of Death. I know this is already a character of some sort but to me that is a great name for it. I find that during my life this angel comes and reminds me that life is important and short. It reminds me that my petty problems and stresses are shallow, and that I am living my life foolishly.<br />
<br />
After the story a few of my friends began to express their distaste for the subject. It brought up emotions in them that were not desired for the moment. Personally though, I had dealt with a death of a loved one at an early age, thus the story touched me differently. I wasnt sure what to say so I mentioned the subject of The Angel of Death, which seemed to fall on deaf ears. I dont blame them, some of them had not dealt with death and truthfully it is a sad and difficult subject to broach.<br />
<br />
I find that life brings us readjustments otherwise known as lessons. We are here to grow and learn about ourselves and death - being such a huge part of our lives - we will deal with it one day or another. I feel that losing your innocence is learning about the tragedy of our lives. We are born with a death sentence, and because of our identification with our lives and life itself we forget that we came from something before birth. Death is not the end just as birth was never the beginning. We blend seamlessly from one expression of god to another. God being the universe/existence we find ourselves a part of.<br />
<br />
So I say let it touch you and teach you. Remember to be grateful for your life, but do not fear your death, fore this is less "real" than you realize.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-24822422592965757512014-01-08T14:45:00.000-08:002014-01-08T14:45:15.187-08:00Living the life youre givenI have not posted here in quite a while but I am excited to think about writing here again. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought I might start on the topic of our lives. A small subject I know.. but one in need of some attention. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today in our large technologically enhanced world we run amok through the systems and have a sense of control over our lives. The jobs that we have ensure we feel a sense of security and even a sense of the future. "I know that tomorrow everything will be just fine, because I will be doing exactly what Ive been doing for the past 50 years." However this delightful feeling has a double edge. It is also the bane of our existence. We may not be able to put it into words but we feel trapped and limited by our need of security. It becomes isolating and it kills our spirit. I suspect this is partly what a mid-life crisis is all about. We finally learn that the way we thought was best, is the problem. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have had good fortune and through my own observations on how life works I expect good things are continually coming to me. I am forever being taught something about myself I had not known before, and my teachers come from all angles and when I least expect them. Through such experiences I have gained some clarity into the relationship that is my life and the larger movement of life around me. It seems that I am a mover and the moved. In the past decade I have experimented with both and Ive concluded that being moved is where real success lay. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To say it simply we are here to live "gods" life. As we are connected to something larger, it stands that we have a purpose we may not fully grasp. Our desires and wishes are not as important as we may think and may only be new lessons which dont give us what we expect but give us what we need. The truth is that I like to think I have been in control of my life and have guided it, but if I look closer I find that I was actually given everything i have. The only decisions I have made were whether I went with the opportunity or not. How I viewed my life determined whether or not what I was receiving was worthy.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If we hold an intention in our minds then life will bring us opportunities, lessons you could say, on the path toward fulfilling that intention. The goal though is to know yourself deeper, not to receive a grand illusionary life filled with attachments and images, but to live a life. And what is life if not movement. To stagnate is to die. Depression and sadness are giving up, which has its place, because as we move and shake we also must be continually reborn. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In conclusion I recommend you become aware of what life asks of you. Consider, if you will, that your life is a relationship between You and God. Replace God with whatever you want. You can Consciousness for instance. If you really ask where are we, why does this place exist, what is existence, where did it all start and will it ever end, you will find your way to this larger movement that has its own purpose. Start to see how your choices effect your life. Are you making this choice out of fear, desire, or do you see it as an opportunity even though it scares you. The goal again is self discovery, so anything we are afraid of is simply something we have yet to understand about ourselves. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Give rather than take, and your reward is a joyous life.</div>

We are humans, freed from the confines of an animalistic consciousness. We now live in a mindset which is at constant odds with itself. One side constantly seeking comfort, the other... freedom. How do we find who we really are between the two? The confusion blinds us and, if we are not careful, binds us to things we can see, never realizing that we should never bind ourselves as we are free. What we see, is never the big picture. <br /><br />We are born to be free. We have the gift to break free. Nothing is too big, too overwhelming, too binding. We give in, give up, and glue together pieces of things that we can wrap our minds around then call the gluey result "me", never realizing it is merely an idea. <br /><br />Where do we go? Who do we turn to? Which way is up? Where are we? Where am I? Who am I?<br /><br />Do not use your environment as your compass, only as a sign. Do not use others as your compass, only as guides. You are already free. You are adrift in an infinite beautiful sea. You do not need shelter. You do not need fear. We choose these things to feel secure. But you do not need that either. You already have it without trying. When insecurity has convinced you that you need security, you are lost. When you let go, you are free. <br /><br />Be like a bird on the wind, a fish in a current, a flame within fire, and a worm within dirt. Be Free.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-73953612767251215602011-03-16T19:59:00.000-07:002011-03-16T20:00:44.033-07:00The Grand IllusionIt turns out a few of my very old videos that I made are still online.

Werent we taught about addiction in school? The police officer came to my third grade class and showed us a bunch of drugs and we were told how bad they were. We were shown videos of signs of violent drug users. Told to keep an eye out for people who have fists while they walk. So we can glimpse a little at the addictive qualities certain chemicals have but we were never told why a person chooses this. Why is the truth so alluding?</span></span><div><br /></div><div>An intriguing place to start is with the notion that people can become addicted to emotions. We sometimes forget we are made up of trillions of cells and view the world through chemicals.</div><br /><div> Emotions can be viewed psychologically, spiritually, and an infinite array of perceptions. To view them as their chemical states seems to be a key to understanding our addiction to them. It seems true that a person may persist in one state of perception, causing particular emotions to exist, and thus a particular chemical to be produced. Over time a state of normality develops and we become more comfortable hanging around one set of chemicals than another. We develop a dependency on them. </div><div><br /></div><img src="http://neuroethicscanada.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/emotions01.jpg" alt="" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 400px;" border="0" /><div>With this in mind it starts to be quite easy to see why people become addicted to, well, anything. Someone may have an unending urge to play video games, read books, or talk. They all get a certain sense of themselves from doing so and chemicals are released and comfort develops. I personally dont think we are meant to live in one state for a long period of time. It seems to be quite damaging. "Everything in moderation" seems to apply even to something as immaterial as emotions even though we tend not to think of thoughts and emotions as things, but rather we see them as "I", when this is really not the case.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>When people go through withdraw of a hard drug it can sometimes take weeks to overcome; a lot of time that is full of sweating and fighting an internal struggle of letting go. They used to use LSD to release people of such afflictions and the simple - heavy sessions therein would cure people of their addiction all together. High doses of LSD were given, the patient would then lay on the couch and would face the inner spaces of who they were and their relationship with reality. Supposedly they wouldn't need to go through the lengthy withdraw phase. This is because the user would have to face the aspects of themselves during their session; which were the root causes for their addiction. </div><div><br /></div><div>After many years of study I still find it quite fascinating that all drugs mimic what is already in the human body. The drug could not work if the body did not already have the ability to use it. For instance THC from Marijuana forces the brain to produce an excess of normal happy chemicals thus making you "high". If you became very very happy without the drug you would feel the same way. I myself have been this happy and I did feel high and others asked me if I was. I was high on life.</div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"><img src="http://www.darpanmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/yoga1.jpg" alt="" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: pointer; height: 240px;" border="0" /></span><div>I think if a balance in ones life is not attained, then, obviously, ones will naturally seeks ways to balance. In modern society it seems as if we do not know how to do that very well so we turn to sensations as a means to deliver us from what ails us. We in fact, more times than not, choose new ways to comfort ourselves. We cannot seem to put our finger on what ails us beyond comforts. I think ignorance is the culprit to this undeveloped mindset. We persistently deny the truth every time we choose comfort over the truth. "The truth hurts" is quite a famous and even cliche saying but if honestly considered, its undeniably true. </div><div><br /></div><div>Buddha struggled with the notion of human suffering. It was in fact his life's work to find a solution to it. In the end enlightenment was the answer. This moment contains it all. If you learn to see suffering for what it is, and let it be as it must, then you have an opportunity to use it for what its meant for rather than let it use you until you become sick from trying to look away. We are far more responsible for our addictions than we like to think and until we learn to mature properly we will always live in immature attachment. </div>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-71734391274990694862011-01-13T03:31:00.000-08:002011-01-14T16:23:15.301-08:00Healing the Preemptive Strike<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/images/Nuke2.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 184px; height: 183px;" src="http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/images/Nuke2.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">A few years ago there was a lot of talk on the news about "preemptive strikes". These referred to war, and more specifically, striking the enemy before they strike you. I used to get sick a lot more than I do these days. From the food I eat, to the exercise I get, to the healthy mentality I cultivate, my health requires my undying attention and intrigue. </span><div> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I remember, a few years ago now, getting the flu right around Christmas. I remember eating soup for weeks and weeks but I was still sick. A lot later I realized that I had not been feeding my body anything good to help heal itself. The soup I had been eating had a few good veggies in it and even meat but it was mostly broth, otherwise I wasn't really giving my body much to work with. At the same time my mental state was one of self-conscious depression. Not only for having to be sick, but also for having been layed off recently and attempting to start my freelance career. Its times like these that ignorance becomes clear. My limitations at that point made me ill and I did not have the wisdom to heal myself well, nor prevent the illness from taking over my body completely.<br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/courses/images/course-images/health-studies.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 179px;" src="http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/courses/images/course-images/health-studies.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">This can be a touchy subject because I find most people don't feel responsible for their sickness. They blame the flu or whatever is ailing them as the culprit. As if the virus itself is going around making people sick without their having anything to do with it. If this were the case then everyone would be sick and the human race would most likely have died off a very long time ago. Our bodies always contain virus's but they must wait until the immune system lets them in. I think this is a system we don't fully understand. Doctors have a great understanding of it but even some of them suffer the same delusions of responsibility as everyone else. The energy we put in our body (food), the energy our body participates in (internal and external environment, thoughts and relationships), and the energy we express (exercise, creativity, love), all help to serve our balance and well being as bodies of energy. This is not a spiritual thought mind you, though it does serve that also, I mean this all quite literally and scientifically. We are intimately responsible for our bodies but its something we need to learn about. Going to the doctor can be helpful but people don't typically attempt to understand it themselves. They would rather "leave it to the professionals". Which is like saying “I don't want to deal with what I do with my money, Ill go to a banker to tell me what I do with it”. Its a broken way of living.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size:100%;">A year later the onset of sickness was here again. I remember the stress of the time and yet I did not stop to rest. I kept pushing myself until I became sick. I realized I had done this so I switched my mentality from one of ambition to one of nurturing. I decided to nurture my body because I love my body. This switch in mentality vastly improved my situation. I did not look at the sickness as something to loath or hate, but as a sign of being out of balance. Its a very clear signal that people tend to treat like a neuscense. You can look at the stop light as if it is telling you that you need to slow down and come to a stop because you are in danger, or you can look at it as if its slowing you down and getting in your way. I fed my body great food; fruit, veggies, water, garlic, onions, etc. All sorts of good healing foods so my body had a healthy supply of nutrients and water to move them around with. My mentality was nurturing which felt like I was mothering myself. It felt like love and it felt right. I was happy and I rested. I slept, and made peace. And I was over my sickness before it really started. </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USASwhipping.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 298px;" src="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USASwhipping.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">It is true that doctors call cancer the "martyrs disease". A martyr, by definition, is someone who suffers. They take in the pain and they hold it which causes internal suffering. This is the first clear sign of a dis-ease. Having had a step father who past away when I was 12 from cancer, I had many years to ponder the truth of this idea. And true it is. Roy was a great man but he lived with much internal stress and pain. He slaved away for a boss who always paid him late, he made due with what little we had, he had a divorced wife and a daughter he could only see on rare occasions, a father he never really got to know, and friends who's lives were full of negativity, struggle and sickness. Roy had leukemia for 3 or 4 years but, in the end, died of a heart attack. He simply could not keep up the fight with his own dis-ease, no matter how large a heart he had. Like an mental pain, dis-ease starts as a seed and takes over the whole system. In the end the host believes without a shadow of doubt that they are the dis-ease, and there is no way to beat it. They believe this so much in fact that they believe the only way to overcome this painful position is to fight.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This is like fighting fire with fire. Its like fear handing you a sword to fight with, and you fight, never realizing you fight because you are afraid. Fear completely tricked you because you had no idea who YOU really were.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size:100%;">We live in a society that is disconnected. Our spirit does not feel connected to reality. I would blame scientific thinking for this completely but I think its too simple to do that, however true it may be, there are far too many other things to help this also. I think we live in a society that caters to distracting ones self from their connection to reality. We are raised ignorantly and continue to nurture our own ignorance of who and what we are. We let others convince us of false ideas and migrate to unhealthy ways of thinking of ourselves and the world. Instead of seeing ourselves as reality, connected completely as energy to all energy we relate with and trying to see that we in fact are not bound to skin and bone but are in fact infinite. Instead we reinforce the idea that we are separate, that we do not believe in "god", that we are machine like. We forget truths that were discovered by our ancestors and passed down through the generations simply because we feel we are smarter than them. We discount their ideas because we are told they are simpletons who believe in mythology and magic.</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="http://unbteachingmatters.wikispaces.com/file/view/multitasking.png/146348159/multitasking.png"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 266px;" src="http://unbteachingmatters.wikispaces.com/file/view/multitasking.png/146348159/multitasking.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">I read recently that multitasking makes people stupider. They cannot focus on one thing at a time anymore yet somehow we convince ourselves that we are very good at doing more than one thing at a time. When in fact we cannot do either thing particularly well. So maybe this is the challenge of the future. We are destined to face sickness, death, pain, suffering, and all the other negative aspects of a detached self until we learn our lesson. This does not just apply to us as a whole, but individually as well. Though this is true it does not have to be true in a larger sense. If we begin to learn from the small pains, and sickness's, and suffering, then they do not need to grow into a full blow organism. If we do not do the work however, then we will, through ignorance, end up nurturing one dis-ease or another, until it grows big and strong.<br /></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><a href="http://www.peruvianmagic.com/images/heal03.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 170px;" src="http://www.peruvianmagic.com/images/heal03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;">Nowadays I practice preemptive strikes </span><span style="font-size:100%;">however</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> I don't fight the pain. I accept it as my own. I realize "yes, i feel stress in my chest and I can see that i feel it when I think about money that I owe, or the person who bothers me, or the thing I need to do next week. I can see now that I am out of balance and I remember that I am one with god, right now, in this moment. Although money, people, and possibilities exist, are real, and are in my life, they does not govern my well being if I don't let them. Debt is temporary, money is temporary, people and life are temporary, I will die, so fearing any of it is silly and only serves to hurt my body and life. I am safe and free." These are the types of revelations I attempt to make. When I feel pain, sickness, and depression, I try to wake up to the truth and <b>let go</b>, rather than hold on. I don't throw on the TV and go to sleep more. I accept these conditions as signs. Remember who I really am, and move through the suffering.</span></p><br />Balance is key to a healthy life. Its an eastern idea that seems to be penetrating the western mindset slowly. I like to remember a simple easter pearl of wisdom: "When I am hungry, I eat. When I am thirsty, I drink. When I am tired, I sleep. When I feel like dancing, I dance."<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size:100%;">As far as I know, all of our bodies die of something or another. A long life has much to give and teach, I hope all the best to you and yours.</span></p> </div>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-86109598219900773902011-01-05T18:45:00.000-08:002011-01-05T18:55:04.577-08:00Too blind to see God<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/GodDelusion.gif"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px;" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/GodDelusion.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a>After watching a short interview with Richard Dawkins and Ben Stein talk about God I began to think on this subject again. How can a scientist, someone who is identified with the rigger and mechanical thinking of science, ever truly see God? There are ways that could make it possible but this is not an intellectual exercise. In fact it has nothing to do with the intellect. It seems that, as is anyone trying to understand something they are closed minded to, they are identified with a certain way of thinking and anything beyond this thinking is literally beyond them. Richard Dawkins is well known for trying to put down ideas of God and I find it amazing because he makes no effort to really relate to ideas presented. He resists this thinking the whole time. So instead of letting bygons be bygons he is actually uncomfortable with his lack of knowledge within himself and attempts to reinforce his own way of thinking.<br /><br />So how does a Scientist begin to see God? I think its like seeing the forest for the trees. The truth is that there are many scientists that believe in God. And not a god that is some white dude in the sky that created us and filters his prayer emails. God as reality, existence.<br /><br />You are introduced to new parts of yourself through your life and thus the relationship between you and yourself develops. This is also quite psychological. When you are faced, internally or externally, with that new part of yourself you either resist it or you have a relationship with it and it within yourself. I think this is hard to grasp because we lack confidence in being open to all ideas and truths, we tend to gravitate to one identification of self or another, making any openness foggy if not completely closed. This happens because we are fearful, because we feel separate from reality, as if we are on the outside looking in. And in that case you would be. When you have experienced that relationship, you may look inward. Then all outward experiences are also internal ones.<br /><div><br /></div><div>It seems to be that people just have problems with ideas. Even now as I write this, it is my way of working out my issues with ideas. I see god in a way that I see God. Its infinite, expansive, omnipotent, conscious, and loving. Someone else will see God as a being to worship and to fear, and others will imagine many other forms. This does not make any of them false. Scientists like to believe they have the truth. But truth is relative. Facts are not. The fact is you cannot discount one mans internal truth over another without limiting your own potential to discover something new within your internal experience of reality. I think scientists like Dawkins are actually evangelical scientists. They believe there is no other truth but science truth. That there is no better way to exist in society than as a scientifically minded person. Personally I think its extremely important and normal to live spiritually. Its the way its been done since humans could think. Spirituality to me means we cultivate the ability to relate to reality as life, which it is. As we move into the future in this scientific society/environment our minds are changing. Science is helping people to disconnect from life and thus everyone is beginning to feel broken and lost. Depression is at an all time high. Take back what was already yours.</div><div><br /></div><div>I feel that if the only reality you are willing to accept is one that you can repeat in a lab then Im afraid you are too uptight about life. I met a woman the other day who insisted imagined thoughts were not real. This is the same line of ignorant thinking. She needs to limit what she can accept as real and true in order to feel secure and comfortable in reality. If those thoughts werent real, then how can they exist? </div>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-25598767051969823352011-01-03T00:51:00.000-08:002011-01-04T19:13:20.796-08:00What Salvia Has Taught Me<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://members.cox.net/thegarden/picturefiles/68.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 277px;" src="http://members.cox.net/thegarden/picturefiles/68.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>It was brought to my attention that it would be in mine and others good fortune for me to speak about my experiences with the legal sage plant called Salvia Divinorum. After having many experiences with the plant and then subsequently giving the experience to others and hearing their findings from their "trips" I have come to the conclusion that most other people dont seem to have the means to convey what they experience, or, they simply dont have any context to put anything into words. So they simply cant talk about it because they dont even know what happened. To them it seems to be like a wild blur.<br /><br />I dont think that I am special and that others are broken but rather I do think I may be sensitive in ways the regular non psychedelic user would be. I had a heavy, and I mean heavy, experience on LSD which seems to have enhanced my experiences by many times thus making me more sensitive to altered states of consciousness. I dont do much when it comes to drinking or drugs, and never really have, because the chemicals naturally running through my body have become quite intense. Again I think simply the act of taking LSD did not make me "special" but rather it altered my perception making my awareness of my internal workings much more clear.<br /><br />I first came to know of Salvia after hearing Terence Mckenna speak about it. He said "it takes you far beyond what DMT and LSD can do". And in a way he is right. "Its cheap, its legal, its completely natural, and it is the only psychedelic that works the way it does on the brain". Most involve altering serotonin levels but this one does not. I researched it after hearing about Mckennas admiration of the sage. I read that Mazatec Indians would use this plant to speak to spirits. It is also considered an anti depressant, which I have a theory of why that I will go in to later. I really liked the idea of speaking to spirits. This was all in the middle of my big awakening in life. So I tried it initially with the intention of speaking to spirits directly, not just to trip out and have fun, though that is a part of the experience.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.biroz.net/salvia/blog/wip.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 212px; height: 168px;" src="http://www.biroz.net/salvia/blog/wip.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>Each experience was new and different and to this day each one is unfamiliar and new. Its like entering a whole new dream each time. During one of my first experiences I got my wish and spoke to spirits. I had turned off the lights in my room, turned on my black light, and all that was lit up were the white objects in the room and the rest were just shadows. As I smoked the leaves and exhaled the smoke into the warm purple glow of what light there was, I began to feel as if the shadows in the room were changing. They soon began to take on a presence of beings. They knew I was there and I knew they were there. Then in my minds eye I met more beings, more spirits. They began to tell me that I had opened a window into their world and they could communicate with me now. They told me that I needed to know I am always surrounded by them and that they love me. To put it more simply, I was reminded that I am always surrounded by love but normally I am blind to this fact. I accepted this and was very happy for them telling me. Then they began to put on a show for me. They laughed at me, not in a demeaning way, but in a loving way. It was happiness itself. Then I laughed at them, with them, simply because I was happy. Love gave birth to joy. This, amongst other more random and fun experiences, was one of the gifts given to me from the use of Salvia. It helped me to see life in a whole new way.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.brainbasedbusiness.com/uploads/brain%20chemicals.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 164px;" src="http://www.brainbasedbusiness.com/uploads/brain%20chemicals.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Some people think that these "hallucinations" are false because they are in the mind. So they should be discounted. I think thats a very sick way to experience life. All of life is important and it is all a part of something bigger than you. When you experience the world around you while you are sober, you are experiencing it through chemicals inside your body. Because you, in the end, are not just a single person. You are trillions of cells experiencing life at the same time. When the chemicals in your body change, lets say you become happier, your experience of life changes in that moment, but it does not make it less true. it may be only your truth because it is your experience, but none the less it is real and true and a gift. So throwing another chemical into the mix does not make it false. They say that all the chemicals you can consume only work (make you trip out or feel different) because they mimic what is already inside of you. This means that you already have the capacity to experience life in an infinite number of ways. All meant to give you more depth and wisdom about who you are and what your here to do and be.<br /><br />The second experience I would like to mention happened only a few months ago. I felt a tremendous pressure on my body and in simple terms, we would call it stress. I did not understand where my stress was coming from but the fact is that it was there and it did not feel good. I decided to smoke some Salvia and give myself an altered state which is a break from the norm that develops. When the experience came on I began to see all the objects around me extend and multiply into oblivion.<a href="http://static.technorati.com/10/04/15/11833/stress.gif"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 151px;" src="http://static.technorati.com/10/04/15/11833/stress.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> I soon began to realize that I was being shown the life of each object in the room. Each one came from some where, will go some where, is claimed by someone, was made from something, so on and so on. At this realization I knew that each object was causing me this pressure in my life. I felt a responsibility for it all and that this feeling was only brought to the surface after smoking salvia. Normally, it is a subconscious understanding and something we do not see easily. My house is full of these objects and calling any of them mine is a pressure that is damaging. Yet here we are all doing this.. We get a sense of self from the things in our lives because it seems to give our lives purpose. Without it people tend to feel lost. I think this happens because people are normally quite detached from who they truly are. They are not taught when they are young to cultivate spiritual ideas. Its something I was taught a little but ended up needing to give it to myself, which is all of our responsibility.<br /><br />I let go of the objects and my stress went away, even if it was for just a few days. I realized they can live with me during their lives but that doesnt mean I need them. A part of me likes the feeling of this attachment that it doesnt want the feeling to end. But if I am willing to see the truth then I will see that this type of thinking is causing me, as a whole, more harm than good.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cssnewbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/multiplicity.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 109px;" src="http://www.cssnewbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/multiplicity.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>A similar experience happened during my next session but the concept I received was executed quite differently. This time I was laying on my bed and I could feel some stress. It had been a few months since my last Salvia experience. When the experience came on and I was right in the thick of it I realized I felt no stress. I could see the walls were constructed by infinite beings. Not that they were built by them, but built of them. This time taking on the appearance of a small anime character, not any particular one. But I could tell thats what it was. It repeated infinitely. The movement in the room felt like a roadway. Like a busy street. I was in the middle of a crowded area. My whole room was alive and had turned into an English countryside, at least it felt this way. There was intention moving all about the room. I felt the presence of beings claiming ownership of other things, themselves constructed of other beings, and I noticed that I was doing nothing while all this was going on. None of these beings even cared I was here. Though I did get the distinct feeling that they all knew it too. I was now a fly on the wall and nothing in the room, or world for that matter, was my responsibility anymore. All of the responsibility was taken away from me and my job was simple; watch, observe and be free.<br /><br />The concepts are similar. I am being shown that I develop attachments to things in my world and daily life. The inevitable effect of these attachments, I like to call "normalizing". We become normalized in our daily lives and we need to break the chains that come with them from time to time otherwise we forget that we are free. Some would even say that our trouble is we become attached in the first place. If I have learned anything it is that we as a society teach it to ourselves. We have been grown and developed to be attached and only those who really wish to be free from these feelings that pin us down will seek and find the truth.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.inventorsdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dunce.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 350px;" src="http://www.inventorsdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/dunce.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Antidepressants and other pharmaceutical drugs are, believe it or not, derived from psychedelic plants and chemicals. All of them effect each patient differently. The problem with these drugs is that they are not used to heal. They are used to cope. So the effect is not noticed. It only dulls the senses enough that a person can live in the same pain without truly going beyond it by becoming more aware of it. As cliche as it may be, companies prey on the ignorance of the masses. Our whole society has moved away from looking at life as life and now looks at it as a machine. If the machine is broken, the parts must be broken, denoting some sort of permanent unfix-able problem. Why there is so much trust put into a system like this baffles me. As far as I can tell its 100% ignorance. People dont want to learn through these types of experiences because they are scared. They were not raised to do so. While thousands of years ago, and even currently in some areas of the world, learning through shamanism and spiritual experiences by controlled drug induced altered states, awakenings and healing go hand in hand.<br /><br />Salvia should not be taken lightly but then again I am not sure many people experience what I do on it. I dont smoke extract. Some people smoke 5x, 10x, 100x, etc. I only smoke the leaves. I have chewed it before but its the most god awful taste in the world and you cant swallow it for 20 minutes. You must chew it and mush up the leaves and grind them with your teeth for 20 minutes without swallowing. The chemical Salvinorum A is secreted through your saliva glands in your mouth. This is the way it was originally consumed. If you wish to smoke it tho, make sure you have dry leaves, pack a bowl in a water-bong tightly, inhale a good amount then hold it as long as you can. Do not cough. If you know your going to cough then slowly breath out. Take another and repeat if you can. Then when your vision blurs, set down the bong and relax. Let the experience take hold. Please share your experiences with me if you remember them!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.glogster.com/media/5/24/92/51/24925113.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 247px;" src="http://www.glogster.com/media/5/24/92/51/24925113.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>My last thought I want to talk about in regards to salvia is its properties as an anti depressant. Depression, to me, is a disconnection from "God". We lose ourselves in normality and no longer feel we have a place in reality. We feel lost and without purpose. When you smoke salvia, and you experience spirits and beings as I have described, you cannot help but reconnect with your true self and with life itself. If your experience is anything like mine, then you meet beings in undescribable amounts. So many in fact that it is more so a feeling of uncalcuable numbers than anything. And they all love you. This alone brings anyone out of depression. You can tell a depressed person you love them and that they are not alone but they do not "know" it. When you experience the same thing in an altered state you know it because you become it. Love touches you deeply and the connection is made.<br /><br />I believe we, as humans, are meant to live life as we will while periodically consuming compounds that produce positive spiritual experiences, breaking out of any norms we fall in to.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-23004187895014039462010-10-07T04:25:00.000-07:002010-10-07T04:48:13.502-07:00Change Your Relationship With the WordIn the beginning there was the word, and it was good. Then over time, it went bad, and nobody seems to want to say it anymore because it is now a dirty word. The word is God. <div><br /></div><div>It was a revelation (another tainted word) to me when I finally realized the only thing sour about the word God and what it meant was my relationship with it. As a child in the 80's and 90's God already was tainted. And maybe it has been for a few hundred years if not more. As I grew up it seemed to be a word that everyone wanted to tiptoe around. Afraid to hurt someones feelings or beliefs, the word took on new meaning and became a dirty word. Now no one knows what God you are talking about. So more specific words are used.</div><div><br /></div><div>In my youth God meant, some guy in heaven, which is a place i had no conception of where it was located, who could watch you all the time and after you died would read your life's sins to you as he slowly shut the gate to you. It seemed rather bleak from the onset and thus I became an atheist. I turned my back on that no good God in search for something that felt better. </div><div><br /></div><div>Doesn't that seem crazy though? Why would you need to leave God to find something better? This is how you can tell its been bastardized. As a child i went to churches. All kinds of different ones. And maybe, just maybe, the ancient way of delivering the truth of God had begun to fail. </div><div><br /></div><div>Through the years I moved on into other realms of study, science, philosophy, oneness, conspiracy theory. None of which were truly fulfilling. Then one day it dawned on me. I had a bad relationship with the word God. I hated when people said it and used it. But why should I? Its just a word. I realized that I had a specific identification of myself that I had developed with it. Which is just a relationship. So i started over, gave God another chance. No longer was some strange unknown figure lurking in the shadows of my mind but now it was literally everything, everyone, no one, and nothing. It was me, and you, and everyone. It began to take form as conscious existence itself. But it only took this form when I decided I wanted a real relationship with life. And in the end, its called God. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now I can revisit the stories in the bible and see the truth in them. God loves us, heaven is right now, hell is right now, if I SIN, right now. Its like I was lost in some ancient translation and the only way out was to abandon the handed down ways of understanding divinity. Which is very akin to what Jesus experienced himself. A man born into a word feeling separate from an established way of doing things. Lost in his own sea of translation and watching as those who preached their words were just as lost, if not more. Lost in a swamp of identification of self through a sense of authority. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you want to know God more, let go of everything you know about it, and learn from direct experience with it. </div>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-13219203689207587192010-10-07T03:58:00.000-07:002010-10-07T04:24:37.932-07:00Wrong Side of the Bed<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Today I finally realized the real reason for depression and praying before bed. They dont really sound like two things that belong in the same sentence. One is a mental issue and another is about religion. Or at least those have been the associations of the terms for the past few decades. The truth is that they are both intimately linked to the same delusion. That we are separate from god.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">This post come from my perspective, a spiritual student. Scientists will suggest that there is a problem with the brian and that you need medication for depression. Although, obviously, the brain chemistry is different, it is not the actual problem. For some strange reason scientists think its best to dope people up rather than help them change their perspective, which is the real issue for the problem in the first place. The truth is that depression is natural, just as being spiritual is natural. Its simply a matter of a perception. And this may be the problem with healing depression. Scientists dont understand the missing element. Carl Young was a spiritual scientists and understood the need for this knowledge. Not believe, but knowledge. Meaning that he understood you needed to have a relationship with divinity.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Drugs alter the perception of the brain and making the problem seem to "go away". But this does not actually fix the problem. The problem is that as we remain immature when a truly maturing human grows spiritually and develops a relationship with god. Depression is a misguided perception on life.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">I woke up this morning really out of sorts. I woke up fine, at 11am, sun bright and warm in my room, queen size bed and me spread out on it, my guinea pig squeaking for food and attention. But for some reason I felt grumpy. I could tell I was a bit depressed and had no idea why. I ended up on a call with a client of mine, logo designs werent right, he needed more. I wasnt sounding happy, felt like I could'nt deliver. I realized my energy was very low.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">After some time feeling this way I realized I needed to raise my energy. I ate some oatmeal for fibre, which will burn the “engines” hot and give me steady energy. I had some green tea and even a banana. All great things for high energy. But even after all that I still didnt feel well. I went and sat down and picked up the first book that was lying around and it was a book on chakras that I had looked through here and there. I flipped it open and the exact section I flipped to spoke about the 6<sup>th</sup> chakra being low in energy, and that this was the problem with feeling depressed. What it said next was a reminder to me, for this was something I had already known, but had recently forgotten. I was a part of God. It said that this is the simple key to depression. Wanting to know my divine connection and asking to remember that, then letting the answers (revelations) come.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The depression is alleviated instantly. The purpose for spirituality is not to feel special, but to remember the fact that you are a part of something bigger than yourself. We need food or we starve, we also need spiritual food, or else our spirit starves and we become depressed, aggressive, uneasy, agitated, and generally unaccepting of any other way but our own.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">As I lay in bed it dawned on me that what had happened that day was that I had woken up godless. I forgot who I was, where I was, and temporarily forgot my relationship with my divine roots. This is the real reason for prayer. Not to pray for the things we want but simply to remember the relationship with god that we have naturally. Not in a religious sense, but as reality. So when you go to bed, pray. Remember oneness, remember love, remember compassion and remember kindness, remember a reality that loves you and only wants the best for you, remember gratitude and remember your timeless self. Then sleep. I think then, the morning will feel quite different.</p>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-35771746901586022402010-09-06T06:54:00.000-07:002010-09-16T16:48:13.609-07:00Welcome to the afterlife<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jmg-galleries.com/photo_a_day/images/052806_infinite_550c.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 350px;" src="http://www.jmg-galleries.com/photo_a_day/images/052806_infinite_550c.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>If you have spent some time trying to get a grasp on the idea of infinity, then you probably have realized that reality itself is infinite. Understanding reincarnation is not far off then. If I have lived infinite times then that means I have been every animal, every person, in all of the vastness of reality. Then it also means I am those beings right now and will be them in the future. So if that is the case then the reality is that you have died before and will do so again, as I am sure you already know.<br /><br />The conclusion I find most fascinating is that all of this means that the life we experience now is the afterlife. There are a lot of religions in the world who imagine the afterlife to be some glorified palace in the clouds. Could this simply be perpetual wishful thinking of some better time to come that humans consistently suffer from? It reminds me of retirement. People , who slave away their whole lives, imagine they will be happy after they are done their years of servitude, only to question, in the end, what it was all for.<br /><br />I think this is a natural way of thinking for us. We spend our time and energy hoping for some happy time to come instead of learning to enjoy the journey.<br /><br />If this indeed the afterlife, I am in either heaven or hell? Well, doesn't it feel sometimes like the pain of a dark moment will never end? Then, through revelation (a revealing) we discover more about ourselves and are released from under the thumb of some dark thought. We are enlightened. From there we enter into the gates of heaven in this very moment. Not in some time to come. This is the very basis for "My father has many mansions", a famous quote by Jesus Christ.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.designer-life.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/duality.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://www.designer-life.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/duality.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>If you have come to terms with your mortality then the reality of these ideas are not so scary. It seems like the more someone runs from the idea of their mortality, the farther from they find themselves from God, and the more they find themselves in hell and darkness. Because, at least in my view, most people don't seem to "go there", it may be that only a rare few do so willingly and the rest will go through some trama that forces them to see this. This is one way that God works.<br /><div><br /></div><div>It doesnt feel so bad being dead does it? We are duality and all things at once. We are dead and alive, we are happy and sad, loving and fearful. We are living potential. We seem to move in waves through hell then back into heaven.<br /><br />From time to time we wish we could purely live in those heavenly moments and forget about darkness altogether. This is why we find ourselves in hell so much of the time. If you realized you were in both then you wouldnt need one or the other. Both exist together as one. This, I think, is the balanced type of thinking we are meant to discover as we mature. We are meant to live in harmony with reality but we cannot do that if we do not see reality, indeed ourselves, in its true nature.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://visualfunhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pushing-over-leaning-tower.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 249px;" src="http://visualfunhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/pushing-over-leaning-tower.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I think any type of polarized thinking is hindering of potential because it takes away from the other side. How could you surf if you had no waves? How could you live if you did not have death. How could you love if there was not fear. How could you see you are given everything you need in life if you only choose to see that what you get is never enough. The fact is that both are true. But the limited mind will only choose one option. This behavior limits true potential of the self and in my mind breaks the bond between balance. This is where disease comes in.<br /><br />When we are lost to a world of polarized identification then we lose the self that is limitless potential. Sickness and disease are signals to us, they are clear messages, typically fallen on deaf ears.<br /></div><br />The goal is clear. To find balance in life. To live as intended by divinity itself. Not to argue and distract, but to find clarity and become free. We must learn to see where we are agreeing with being polarized. The only power we have to truly change is through the gift of awareness.<br /><br /><blockquote style="font-weight: bold;">"The secret inlet into the realm of what is timeless and eternally true is our <span class="il">awareness</span> of the present moment; for our <span class="il">awareness</span> of now is not an <span class="il">awareness</span> of a given time, but is vested in that higher consciousness through which the things of time move in and<br />out of creation."<br /><br /> -- Guy Finley </blockquote><br /><br />Ignorance is only bliss to a part of you that wishes to stay divided from knowing your true limitless self.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-44430613018217666482010-06-11T04:51:00.000-07:002010-09-06T06:54:17.512-07:00Finding lost keys to the mansions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.vgg.com/VGGBlog/found_art/Oneness.PNG"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/1201796_f496.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; height: 250px;" src="http://s1.hubimg.com/u/1201796_f496.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div>I used to study the Mayan year of 2012 but lost interest. I had all about given up on this date and the non stop stories of predictions that people have to go with it. Recently I came across a new 2012 video that explained what the Mayan perspective on the date and their cultures ultimate downfall because of their sheer ignorance of the truth. Through countless lifetimes of history keeping they knew that cycles of time and energy repeated themselves. They saw the universe of pattern and waves and saw that it has predictability. They knew a great change was coming. What they didnt know was that it would be the conquering spaniards and priests that came with them. The mayan leaders allowed themselves to be captured by the spaniards and were subsequently murdered. Then the Spaniards proceeded to murder millions of people, wiping out an entire continent. The Mayans were so mezmerized by their imagination of what change was coming that they didnt realize the truth of possibilities. If everything is a wave then the mayans were a culture at the top. But a wave doesnt fall instantly, it takes time to descend. I think the Mayan civilization may have been coming down from its high point and sinking to such a low point they would practically disappear.</div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://www.miqel.com/images_1/fractal_math_patterns/simple-fractal/ferns.jpg" border="0" alt="" style="float: right; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; cursor: pointer; height: 250px; " /></span><div>If this is true, that a universal law is that everything acts as waves but in different scales then we should be able to see it in our lives. The fact is that we already know waves are everywhere and everything. Particles dont act like particles unless being observed, they act like waves. When they are observed waves of observation cancel out the natural flow of those waves. So it becomes quite obvious that, of course, reality has giant waves just as we would experience them in each second, minute, hour, day, year, lifetime. Think about the highs and lows you go through constantly. Now imagine you are a larger entity, like a global society, or the earth in general. You would still experience waves except in your own relative scale. If that is true then what is coming. We should be able to see something happening already. </div><div><br /></div><div>So where we go from here is endless. This is where all the theorists come in an try to predict what may happen. Maybe we find enlightenment, maybe we go extinct, maybe the universe starts over, maybe we flip and become the opposite portion of the universe for a while. This sort of thinking was a place I spent much of my time. But as I said before it is also a place I have moved away from. I began to realize the delusional nature of it. The idea hit me that I am wasting my time and energy trying to predict the future when the truth was the only thing compelling me to do that was my fear of it. This is why the predictions are always so, messy. If we were content with our own reality and mortality then why would we need to look anywhere else for anything else? </div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.vgg.com/VGGBlog/found_art/Oneness.PNG"><img src="http://www.vgg.com/VGGBlog/found_art/Oneness.PNG" border="0" alt="" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; height: 250px; " /></a><br /><div>We look because we are afraid, we are afraid because we are ignorant of who we really are. Who we really are is part of the infinite existence. You have lived infinite times, including this one. This is not new to you, which is why any revelation feels more like remembering. We are reality and we must exist in all forms. In you exists all things. You can change your consciousness in a heartbeat from human person in reality to the entity of all reality itself. You are it. There is no one out here, this is not my typing, believe it or not its actually a reflection of your mind. That is the truth. But its also true that it is just out there, that I am just writing it. We are all consciousness and infinitely connected.

There are many times that one wrong move would have ended my life but, as they say, life finds a way.<br /><br />As these ideas dawn on me I compare them to ideas of quantum reality. I started to ask - "why me? why did I survive and why do others die? why did I not die?". This line of thinking inevitably lead me to the realization that we do indeed die every minute of our lives. All those ignorant tricks that should have killed you, did. If you die every moment then how are you still living? As reality splits off into all possibilities we must consider that we experience death in each moment as our new self is born.<br /><br />You may say that this sounds wrong because why do other people die around you and do not continue with life. Life appears to end but does indeed continue. Death is merely a point of perception. Though we may move through our life with these possible deaths that does not mean that the bodily form you are in doesn't expire. It does cease to take the form it is in, but it moves into other forms. The big question is where do I go after this body dies?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.greencomments.com/graphic/cat/Art/Time-for-Oneness.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 230px;" src="http://www.greencomments.com/graphic/cat/Art/Time-for-Oneness.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>If you think about dying every possible way through your life yet still find yourself experiencing the living experience then you should start to see that you are not your body. You are merely experiencing this event in life. The real question is "who are you?". We forget who we are. We are infinite life experiencing itself. To see this you must realize that you are death and life on all levels, not just this life. I think this can be hard to do for most people because most souls develop a strong identification with their body and believe so whole heartily that they are their body that they fear death.<br /><br />I do not say for certain that i know where you go when you die but if you need to ask that question then you should ask where you are when your living. It is not an easy question to answer. I think that is because you are everywhere. When you die you will still be everywhere. Its hard for people to see how we are all one until you actually start to look at these questions. I dont think we are separate, only our bodies and souls appear to be.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.theglobalintelligencer.com/images/nde.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 203px; height: 198px;" src="http://www.theglobalintelligencer.com/images/nde.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Next time you are sitting with a friend or at work or just with other people, try to imagine your observing consciousness inside each of them. Try to see that their consciousness in that moment is the same as the one inside of you. If you can fathom that and see it then your on your way to seeing oneness. Expand that to the trees, to the rocks, to the air, to the wind and water. See that all this life is you and it is its specific nature for a reason, just as you are.<br /><br />What would it be like to be infinite? Ponder that for a while. Hopefully you will find yourself staring at reality and seeing that it represents exactly what it would be like to be infinite. So if you are part of infinity, then you are infinity, but within that you also have a finite part to experience. And thus is the life of infinite life.

Fight or Flight. We need a new way and I think the new-age and metaphysics community is bringing an ancient spiritual secret back to life. The Secret is flow. And its about time we decided to truely go with the flow.<br /><br />In social animals, the alpha male is the individual in the community with the highest rank. He controls groups and his external environment and this makes him the protector. I think we are reaching a level where we understand we dont need this level of consciousness. And that this consciousness in fact limits our potential by its very nature. Along with this we can also see that "Flight" or fleeing, is also fruitless. Fear that makes creatures run or fight is meant for something more in the human being. We have the unique privilege to discover this unique nature called the human experience. Fear is a guide for the inner nature. Fear does not take place in your soul. It is an energy that speaks to you. It speaks to you constantly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_298/1218215071qCACzd.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumb_298/1218215071qCACzd.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This new age of being I like to call, the age of the beta male. What I mean by beta is is we are a work in progress. A beta male would realize this fact and allow himself/herself to be changed by reality itself. Just as you would call a piece of software that is still in development. We are a beta version under constant development and meant for higher purpose. Individually as humans we grow one moment at a time. Minute by minute we are affected by the world around us and we become new people with every beat of our heart. We are doing this collectively as a species. We are really young as a species so the relationship we have with life is that of a teenager. We are scared, not sure what the world will have waiting for us when we actually decide to go with it, and wish someone would just pay our bills and hug us. Its time to take your life into your hands and let the universe show you yourself in the multicolored pool of its infinite waters.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.seopher.com/images/internet.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 164px;" src="http://www.seopher.com/images/internet.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>They say the universe is expanding. We are the universe. We are all experiencing growing together and growing wiser together at the same time. I think this is why groups will feel like there is a great awakening happening from time to time. And it may be more true than we realize. Though it may be limited to bursts of awakenings, as the 60's hippy revolution and even the renascence, none the less we are walking on the water and experiencing the waves of life that reveal our true potential and purpose.<br /><br />So what has people running to the hills over 2012? This is the same mode of fear we jump into when we are faced with a real truth. In this case it would be the fact we all die and that we dont yet know what happens after. That the unknown is more prevalent than the known. If you get over that nature then you are left realizing there are infinite possibilities, infinite lives to live.<br /><br />Here is a link to an <span style="font-weight: bold;">old</span> documentary I made about the mayan calendar and 2012. Its basic info and my perception of reality has shifted greatly since then.

But that is a vague statement. So many people live in fear that they automatically assume that means it will be destroyed. This is their current nature so this is all they can see. The truth is that the earth is always ending as we know it. Because how we know it keeps changing. I think we may be destined for a significant change as we always seem to be. Though this does not mean totally annihilation of the physical world. It could mean an annihilation of our inner reality. Apocalypse literally means a revealing. When the inner reality changes the outer one changes too. Afterall the universe is a reflection of your soul.<br /><br />The truth will set you free.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-60610976983732041222010-01-04T03:44:00.001-08:002010-01-04T05:03:04.532-08:00New Growth<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8T8GZbqh2votu4nwZTdyKpiPkq4wqXSvgdFIDK8CkxY5IE6PjaqS6iKCSnIPPbpq4fFF2bIcCWpGIMQAOrTiDwl8HAZPk3GST2VQnuj_IagxCWwcswLpU69SomdYqQX0C8T1PzGb-0o8/s1600-h/Buddha.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 128px; height: 174px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8T8GZbqh2votu4nwZTdyKpiPkq4wqXSvgdFIDK8CkxY5IE6PjaqS6iKCSnIPPbpq4fFF2bIcCWpGIMQAOrTiDwl8HAZPk3GST2VQnuj_IagxCWwcswLpU69SomdYqQX0C8T1PzGb-0o8/s200/Buddha.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422862510598137794" border="0" /></a>Today as I searched I was drawn into researching the Buddha. While reading his biography on wikipedia I kept coming into phrases and words that I had no idea what they were. Wikipedia makes them links so I would follow them and discover what the phrase was. To say the least I found some wonderful information. It dawned on me that I hadnt been able to look at buddhism and buddhist teachings because of my feelings toward religions. I still dont think someone should dedicate their lives to a religion but I do agree with dedicating ones life to spiritual growth and enlightenment. If its found in religions then it makes sense why many choose that path. Now I see myself more as Buddha himself in reflection. To some this may sound delusional but its true that we can connect to others states of being. The teachings of Buddha are an extension of that being. I plan to study them more.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXPP65WwwoTPd0NUeFs-B6PFDEMov2X6mZ-Li3cFH25u7w-O3H9zU4UIopHHseVEiGp6qaBHgA60mTOuID2U1RQNnrIBwPc1YT5PaKHPeRUf78uGf0ZxAPMXlDNXUBolY0r6-PTqta7o/s1600-h/eaglelion.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 167px; height: 260px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgXPP65WwwoTPd0NUeFs-B6PFDEMov2X6mZ-Li3cFH25u7w-O3H9zU4UIopHHseVEiGp6qaBHgA60mTOuID2U1RQNnrIBwPc1YT5PaKHPeRUf78uGf0ZxAPMXlDNXUBolY0r6-PTqta7o/s320/eaglelion.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422863230171651506" border="0" /></a>Something else came up tonight that I found rather interesting. I often think of lions and eagles and this brought me to the idea of a spirit animal. Ive wondered for some time what mine would be so I did a quick google search on "How to find your spirit animal". They suggested meditating then asking your animal to make itself present to you. I find the more present you are to your moment the more you can get from it. It dawned on me that I may think of lions and eagles often, which are spirit guides, but there is also the real animals that are present to your life." The lion represents feminine energies. It means taking the easy way to meet your goals, by not confronting them head on." I know in my life I am using this specific state often. Fighting problems head on is not the way to being awake. I let them be as they will. "Those with an Eagle totem need to have an involvement with creation; a willingness to experience extremes; a willingness to use your ability even if it means getting "scorched" a little as you fly high; a willingness to seek out your true emotions." I can see why these two show up to me often and why I regularly grow my hair out (Lions Mane). The one that I found surprising was the Guinea Pig.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmTm-JeuKuRL1fnZxsiG0zQTvE25_hz0RWwidlS_K0b3c4InqCGFR7Cjz0wb3Rey6oCLgPQ64b4ND3DtDiLnaLnyrWZRohPX8O-oTOAvwOlsf0m59yDuspuUm97WMXgPy1Jq3R1YrUuw/s1600-h/aaaaaaaaguinea.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMmTm-JeuKuRL1fnZxsiG0zQTvE25_hz0RWwidlS_K0b3c4InqCGFR7Cjz0wb3Rey6oCLgPQ64b4ND3DtDiLnaLnyrWZRohPX8O-oTOAvwOlsf0m59yDuspuUm97WMXgPy1Jq3R1YrUuw/s200/aaaaaaaaguinea.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422863949502865746" border="0" /></a>I recently received a guinea pig for Christmas. Since he has been with me I have been nurturing him. I feel what he feels, feed him, clean his cage, hang out with him, talk to him, and generally give him what he needs to be healthy, best I can. He feels like a child to me because he depends on me to be there for him. This is a live spirit totem that I have attracted into my life. "You can have several animal guides through out your life. Sometimes an animal guide will come into your life for a short period of time, and then be replaced by another depending on the journey or direction you are headed toward." Guinea Pigs specifically are said to bring in like minded people into your life. When this totem appears, it signals a time to explore new possibilities, a time to open (or reopen) spiritual doors. It also brings a cautionary message: are you being too solitary in your spiritual practices? Do you need to seek out groups to help with your healing work? The nature of the animal is what is meant to be seen in yourself.<br /><br />I thought about what animals I had thought of recently or that came to me in a story and realized how relevant they were. Even my friends have a large dog, known to be a great protector. This is their spirit animal and it represents to a T their lives and who they are. Its quite amazing to see. We had a cat once, and I try to remember all those who have cats and what they are like.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRwNex09y6HDDLnaJiHfOCFT75oWgqM6hV9NBMKzDwjrrzbVxYw0_mLD-NR3IHwaS-3X-M766CxNYtKWp3hPwetSUsrxcFp2QZ6MHDjtEWCGw7XKgVRh1Dm4VE_S4SJ2igAIPXbp5Qks/s1600-h/iching.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRwNex09y6HDDLnaJiHfOCFT75oWgqM6hV9NBMKzDwjrrzbVxYw0_mLD-NR3IHwaS-3X-M766CxNYtKWp3hPwetSUsrxcFp2QZ6MHDjtEWCGw7XKgVRh1Dm4VE_S4SJ2igAIPXbp5Qks/s400/iching.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422864950707316818" border="0" /></a>Ive listened to Terrance Mckenna speak about the I-Ching and his Well known Timewave theory is based on the 64 grid hexagram of the iching. I decided to do some researching on the I-Ching. The I-Ching is an ancient Chinese divination system which is used to gain insight into a question or situation by way of a standardized process. They say on the wikipedia page that diviners ascertain their interpretations by reading signs, events, or omens, or through alleged contact with a supernatural agency. I already know we all have this contact but I also know most people tend not to attempt to read what reality is saying. The way the original I-Ching is performed is a long mathematical system. It takes about 15 minutes to come out with the Hexagram that has a special meaning. I suspect that long process was used in order to look more official or scientific. The reality is you dont need that. You can actually do it however you like. I decided to try my own method. I took some long sticks and some that I broke in half. I would play with them while focusing on my intention, or on nothing at all. When I would drop a stick I would leave it till enough fall to form the whole hexagram. When I didn't focus on anything the divination told me where I am currently in my life. I found that rather interesting. When I focused on the question "Where do I go from here" the divination proceeded to explain exactly what I needed to hear. Each set of sticks in the hexagram have a specific meaning. When you put them all together they mean something specific.<br /><br />I think the idea behind the I-Ching is the same as the animal totem and Buddha. They are all guides. They are living mirrors to your soul. Just as thoughts are and just as everything is. One perspective is that we are a living hologram. Your body is included in the exterior world and so it is a great indicator of the nature of your soul. When your thoughts are nothing but frustration, anger, and pain, then that is a direct message to you about the state of your nature. You are meant to observe this and grow. My friend Joe, the Guinea pig, will serve me well on my journey. I will repay him and honor him for this gift. I think from now I will wake up more to these same relationships with people and life. What their current nature is meant to show me for myself and what I am meant to show them.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gautama_Buddha</a> Here is the page on buddha I referred to<br /><br /><a href="http://www.linsdomain.com/totems.htm">http://www.linsdomain.com/totems.htm</a> Heres the link to the animal totem page.

You can use your own divination system or try mine. youtube has a few videos of people explaining their own way. I would drop 3 sticks. The order they fall in is the order of the first row. Then drop 3 more. This is the order of the second. This will give you the proper hex and an explanation of it. Read the whole explanation because, like I said, each still means something specific.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divination#cite_note-merriamw-3"><span></span></a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divination#cite_note-merriamw-3"><span></span></a><span style=";font-family:Calligraph421 BT;font-size:130%;" ></span><span style=";font-family:Calligraph421 BT;font-size:130%;" ></span>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-28038950040503889832009-12-28T14:42:00.001-08:002010-01-05T03:34:08.381-08:00Do all dead celebrities die?I think the feelings we go through when anyone dies are the same. We find it hard to believe. When my step father passed away when I was a child I remember feeling like he could walk into the room any minute. After the truth sinks in its no longer a question anymore. Celebrities however are a whole different ballgame.<br /><br />If you take in the odds of all celebrities actually dieing when the news reports it then you would find that even logically not all of them would. People like Elvis, Michael jackson, Saddam Hussein, Hitler. Tupac, and Andy Kaufman are just some of the suspected individuals who fake their own deaths. There are subcultures of investigators that seem to find evidence and testimony to suggest they lived much longer than we "know".<br /><br />Its easy to imagine how and why someone who is massively famous could fake their own death and escape to a life of solitude and relative peace. As you become famous your life shifts from one of being a bystander to being a focal point for everyone around you. You cannot walk the street without being confronted by all types of people. People who hate you, love you, stalk you, or just know of you. If this amount of attention and energy is unappealing to you all the time then you turn into a bit of a hermit. Only coming out for work. Celebrities these days know it quite well. They walk down the streets wearing sunglasses, beards, hats. All manner of concealing head ware to avoid being spotted and instead choose to be an unknown individual again.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwSLl3zDd8e3_iGwMvnZBQVhWjPX3uTOE5g2tRNDD0TXYzgQGSQ-gN3kAzcey1VUtKuLEEieArObeH0Vg0KgRkPqqkHxfVsdduGHESzJ3mmeowD4fIy2PogpkGdirpAdv5VKhmGIk5KU/s1600-h/hitler.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 398px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVwSLl3zDd8e3_iGwMvnZBQVhWjPX3uTOE5g2tRNDD0TXYzgQGSQ-gN3kAzcey1VUtKuLEEieArObeH0Vg0KgRkPqqkHxfVsdduGHESzJ3mmeowD4fIy2PogpkGdirpAdv5VKhmGIk5KU/s400/hitler.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423213056534407634" border="0" /></a>This is an image of Hitler on the right and him again after passing away as an old man in argentina. The suspicion is that he and his wife escaped and killed one of his doubles in place.<br /><br />When you are oblivious to the arguments for a living celebrity such as Elvis, it just sounds silly. When you take the time to look at the evidence and the testimony you start to realize its completely possible. The feeling I got when I realized this is I felt cheated from something. These great men and women that have done so much for us leave in order to regain their freedom. When we experience what a great person has to give we experience that within ourselves. For people like Hitler and Saddam the effects are just the opposite. They are like beacons of duality. Showing us the greatness we also have within us and the darkness we are capable of.<br /><br />A good thing to take away from this is knowing that you dont need to know what happened to them. Remember who you are and learn from the truth you see in front of you. If you spend your life trying to investigate something like that then you have become so identified with needing to know that you have lost yourself to it. Let go and remember who you are and be the beacon you choose to be.<br /><br />If you do become intregued just do some searching.<br /><br />Check out this video on the Speculation if elvis is dead or alive.<br /><embed src="http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/2496284/elvis_is_alive_latest_in_fox_8_news_part_1.swf" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" name="Metacafe_2496284" height="345" width="400"></embed><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2496284/elvis_is_alive_latest_in_fox_8_news_part_1/">Elvis is Alive?

They say in the video he took in his brothers name, Jesse Presle. This is pretty wild though. Im an artist and characters are my focus normally so I have a keen eye for detail. This def looks like an older elvis! You have to keep in mind too when looking at these that when you are younger your skin is thicker. When you become older is becomes thinner. This is why wrinkles are more pronounced, muscle shapes ar emore rigid. And since he most lilkely wasnt trying to keep up on his good looks he looks rougher. Elvis prob spent the rest of his days, if he isnt still alive, having fun, drinking, and trying all the new drugs that came out.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8awEbB-qUFoOdIqXFjKhNKJS4D3iugWCRwcLC7sU3XOa_NKyO5YXcs5Rog17e-f837fsLA28K0bhNoNgxgdAPl2lJIWhPrhYyG7vgbtibNhy3fdUocLXZXCRv5iv1_pFhUcqMNdHNMp4/s1600-h/elvis1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8awEbB-qUFoOdIqXFjKhNKJS4D3iugWCRwcLC7sU3XOa_NKyO5YXcs5Rog17e-f837fsLA28K0bhNoNgxgdAPl2lJIWhPrhYyG7vgbtibNhy3fdUocLXZXCRv5iv1_pFhUcqMNdHNMp4/s400/elvis1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423207566158700866" border="0" /></a><br />What I want to see is a "dead" celebrity finally come back to life.

I base it on the idea that we manifest constantly. If we align ourselves with what is right, bright and true then we cant help but manifest what we desire. We manifest constantly but, because we live a constant stream of manifesting, we tend to become normalized to it and forget that the strings of events start from our consciousness and move outward (or inward depending on how you look at it). Ive been noticing things happening lately that stood out to me rather clearly.<br /><br />A couple of posts ago I described how I have become interested in the writings of Hunter S. Thompson as well as writing an epic story of my own. I started to realize that I indeed wanted to know how to write better. I want to know how stories are formed and characters are developed. How do I tell this remarkable story I have but which has no real meat to it. As I went through that realization I also thought about high school and all the great things it had to offer. It was just a taste of what learning from a master was about. Here are people ready to teach us, at the very least, the basics and fundamentals that would lead us down a path. I happened to choose the direction of art early on. When I was formulating the idea that high school had so many gifts I wished I could go back and take advantage of more of them. I realize that path would mean i wouldn't be where I am so its pointless to wish for something like that. Instead I decided to remain open to the idea of learning more in this new and bright direction.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeitzmMxwNOUv4A3-UB-nVLIwVXoOhIdp9hLTN62xR_BdeFGUSc9CKXpRF5I7Vd4CwBFcu_Km0hlQbXE3ieYP7S74NriZe8r2FbXTb8w9YUDsB5GWFsbYHHeQFX3J3IdXLh8t_MuyXRT4/s1600-h/apples-ck-522376-l.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeitzmMxwNOUv4A3-UB-nVLIwVXoOhIdp9hLTN62xR_BdeFGUSc9CKXpRF5I7Vd4CwBFcu_Km0hlQbXE3ieYP7S74NriZe8r2FbXTb8w9YUDsB5GWFsbYHHeQFX3J3IdXLh8t_MuyXRT4/s200/apples-ck-522376-l.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419825213111362898" border="0" /></a>Yesterday, on Christmas, I ate dinner at my friends house. This was out of the norm for me but it was a great change-up. I hadn't been to Glenn's house before but it was such a fun experience. There were kids playing, family laughing and having fun together, people playing guitars and jamming together, and all sorts of good times. I knew roughly half the people there, so there was still a lot of newness to be had. As we sat down to dinner I placed myself next to my friend Len (not to be confused with Glenn). On the other side of me sat an older woman who turned out to be Glenn's mother in law. As the havoc of the feast escalated into delicious joy and local conversations I found myself having quite a pleasant and fascinating conversation with Linda, Glenn's mother in law. We started our conversation on mutual interests, starting in watercolor and moving into other areas of the creative arts. As the conversation flowed I told her about my wish to grow as a writer. She then injected that she was a high school English teacher at one point then went to college to learn to teach adults. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This is a person who has taken the other path I now wish to explore and can help me to learn and grow along the way.<br /><br />I found myself here in this place with this person all because I stayed open to the opportunity. I wont say thats the only reason. I arrived in this place by following a path of positive energy rather than negative energy. This is certainly a large key factor.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktxyw3pFYDhqyRu4ddO2wR2a_HatyNLRU5mzGeeGWi6HDXdxS5LaAxPpScQSeLdmYccgU4R6QlqyBvUfQ-rEP_Ezeef43eyDBH5YqGhtfUhST5eKGimPSSPLjdLtrvhWD693K-DGOVnk/s1600-h/villa_walking.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhktxyw3pFYDhqyRu4ddO2wR2a_HatyNLRU5mzGeeGWi6HDXdxS5LaAxPpScQSeLdmYccgU4R6QlqyBvUfQ-rEP_Ezeef43eyDBH5YqGhtfUhST5eKGimPSSPLjdLtrvhWD693K-DGOVnk/s400/villa_walking.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419825648765134930" border="0" /></a>Another event happened today that inspired me to write on these ideas. I was walking down the street toward town to buy some guinea pig food for my new Christmas present I lovingly named Joe Dirt. As I walked a thought popped into my head about a business partner that I went and met with. We agreed that his company would provide web programming services for me on my projects. This would enable me to effectively make full websites for my customers by sticking to what I do best, the designs. As I thought about him, and how I haven't used those services, no more than 20 feet later their one and only company car took the corner right in front of me. I connected the dots and got a big jolly grin. It felt like god tickling me from the inside out. This to me was a reminder that the door to that opportunity is still open.<br /><br />Its amazing what we can do when we are in relative control of ourselves. People, not yet awake to themselves, may think you need to know everything about a situation to choose the right path, and in a sense that's true. its just not true in the mode of a sleeper. We don't need to know specifically what each path will have waiting for us if we choose it. Through experience and practicing being aware, we can truly learn what different energies are able to do for us and what their limitations are. All fear can give you is what fear has to offer. When you give into it and end up with the results it can only give, you see it as it truly is.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieK_X567N8YPC3WVXqObtG9uznBaTXnpHBR0RjySmDLDlj-83vljq8leqHp5tDVPwcNwSN9ux5nzAEy25ktQicAV1Nfa2Hgwf8fMy2_lyb6rl2tD-A7qSVYZd2zlyooHSuY4gD9YVyGx4/s1600-h/vincent-van-gogh-paintings-from-paris-5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 158px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieK_X567N8YPC3WVXqObtG9uznBaTXnpHBR0RjySmDLDlj-83vljq8leqHp5tDVPwcNwSN9ux5nzAEy25ktQicAV1Nfa2Hgwf8fMy2_lyb6rl2tD-A7qSVYZd2zlyooHSuY4gD9YVyGx4/s200/vincent-van-gogh-paintings-from-paris-5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419828277252754290" border="0" /></a>All ventures in this life are ways of exploring ourselves. I chose art when I was young and have gone quite in depth with it over the years. The relationship I have with art is the relationship I have with myself. Moving into writing with intentions of growing is no different . But the relationship is just beginning. At one point I didn't call myself an artist till the relationship matured enough. The depths people can go in to with each path can lend to the ego. I think this is precisely why people choose one thing over another. Their ego identifies with something early on and if its given energy then over the years it will grow. I stuck with art, someone else might stick with writing, but its the very same as someone sticking with being a victim. Eventually this is who you see yourself as. And letting go of that becomes a lot of work. I see I am not only an artist. I am anything I want to be in any moment. And manifesting follows.<br /><br />While I was searching for images to finalize this post I found this site that has a very relevant post. Its right on the same lines as this post.

No doubt some people still use religion for its true intention but for the most part it is lost to history. The goal these days, it seems, is not to connect more with our spiritual nature but rather with the idea of being apart of a specific religion.<br /><br />I believe religions were initially invented as a way to hold on and share real truth. Spread the wealth as it were. These were spiritual people connected to god through metaphoric stories and deep inner work. Masters and teachers were seen as guides rather than authorities. Real communion involved groups of people coming together to grow with one another. It is also known that religions were used as ways to control groups of people.<br /><br />These days you have a number of religious participants ready to bang on your door and get you to come join them. This is not participating in a spiritual life, this is participating in what it means to be religious. Religions are full of people who have identified who they are with their religion. When you question their religion you are picking a fight with their self identity and sleeping people tend to lash out intensely in those cases. Ask yourself if a spiritual person would feel the need to lash out. Though spiritual people also find themselves identified with something in life, they know it is their duty to let go and grow. They may even find themselves identified with the idea of being more spiritual than others.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJK9bN2cdQwd_Ai4hAlZMjifug6pkLLJewjLMNt-rKI1O_BTYpv1E65kVzFS98QIeel8dFrYkgh49fLLQSI2qIQzUfXFNNp4ZWbfTXHKX8qJZBJ-MEaJpVg75j85_5tOUOvMNeVlJs6s/s1600-h/forget.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVJK9bN2cdQwd_Ai4hAlZMjifug6pkLLJewjLMNt-rKI1O_BTYpv1E65kVzFS98QIeel8dFrYkgh49fLLQSI2qIQzUfXFNNp4ZWbfTXHKX8qJZBJ-MEaJpVg75j85_5tOUOvMNeVlJs6s/s320/forget.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418921178125093778" border="0" /></a>There is another rift in the human species at the moment. Its the idea that provades much, if not most, of society today. Its the idea that you are either spiritual or not. This is what I think keeps most people asleep to themselves and a free life. The fact is we are all living spiritual lives to one degree or another. Whether you deny it or accept it is up to you. In societies eyes there is being religious, spiritual, scientific, etc. Its this sort of class based thinking that I think has ruined our perceptions of real life.<br /><br />There is a new awakening taking place that you can visibly see. People are going around the bend to find the new way to look at life. Science has shown us many new ways to look at life and thus ourselves. Because of this our consciousness over the past hundred years or more has shifted to a mode of thinking that has a vague bleak connection to a godless reality. I think new age thinking and metaphysics is our natural attempt to find our way back to ourselves and our spiritual connection to all of reality. We exist in scientific consciousness and thus must move back to our true selves from this point.<br /><br />I think the religions of the world are stuck (very much in the same case as my previous article described). God works through you whether you are aware of it or not. It seems most of society goes through life not knowing what god looks like. They even deny he exists. How can you deny something existing if you dont know what it is? Its like a fish denying that water exists. The fish doesnt realize he lives in water and is made of water. That is real ignorance. Science unknowingly describes much conscious reality. These truths serves us greatly but because they are seen as an authority people take on that mode of thinking. This is why acting as an authority is dangerous. They are observing consciousness on so many of its levels Its startling that they can miss god in all of it? They miss it because they are disconnected from it within themselves. Searching for answers through science will inevitably result in finding our true nature.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0knKHa2CWqn0IVDpUqSHwnC9dUcrAR-7NsILs_iKI8nlQoFCv2o9sq1-8vQ_dFtSwPWgCIuC4gRjY6Sy47pCqyqHMZMf_HvmthQha4qdWxKjAu8SNZfIH15RzHJRwHR9eEcM5zKL6Pw/s1600-h/Pillar2-Supernatural-GodCreates-Man-Sistine-Chapel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm0knKHa2CWqn0IVDpUqSHwnC9dUcrAR-7NsILs_iKI8nlQoFCv2o9sq1-8vQ_dFtSwPWgCIuC4gRjY6Sy47pCqyqHMZMf_HvmthQha4qdWxKjAu8SNZfIH15RzHJRwHR9eEcM5zKL6Pw/s400/Pillar2-Supernatural-GodCreates-Man-Sistine-Chapel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418921509560422914" border="0" /></a>I think we are due for a great awakening. I call it an awakening because it feels like remembering. When you go to sleep, you drift off into dreams and explore that world. When you come back you have to remember who you are. You awaken. We are all searching for ourselves whether we admit it, outwardly ask for it, or even deny it. "Every act, seen or unseen, is an attempt to learn more about ourselves." The few years ahead look like they will be rough. But we are on a collision coarse with ourselves. I think there is great hope in that.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-81317700085317393312009-12-23T17:46:00.000-08:002009-12-23T19:35:29.615-08:00"Physician Heal Thyself" ~ Jesus Christ<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt5kzH51TxeUaZqarKZSqapSQ9M5N99cculRJ4OBvwHzW4VKX66zCl4kqze-yhjl-Mx_fVd3W2ab-6T-_2VuEZfnC2AkDMOHIJCP9fZGRd3oEjd_8T-7UDH_oCH0nBkFLxWNZXUM9wF_o/s1600-h/eyes.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt5kzH51TxeUaZqarKZSqapSQ9M5N99cculRJ4OBvwHzW4VKX66zCl4kqze-yhjl-Mx_fVd3W2ab-6T-_2VuEZfnC2AkDMOHIJCP9fZGRd3oEjd_8T-7UDH_oCH0nBkFLxWNZXUM9wF_o/s320/eyes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418636743074498322" border="0" /></a>As I listened to an interview with well known DMT molecule researcher Richard Strassman I couldnt help but wonder if he himself had taken the drug, besides it naturally occuring in his body that was. In the interview he was asked directly from the female host who sounded like an early 90's late night radio host for some sexy station that tries hard to sound turned on and wanting "Did you yourself participate in those kinda of recreational activities?"<br /><br />"Oh.. I.. I.. I have a lot of friends that were experimenting with those drugs and I would hang out with them, uh.. you know, pretty regularly. I was intrigued at the profundity of the effects and the similarities of the states people were having." He answered her question with a stutter at first. I suppose he was nervous at the question. This is what had me wondering if he himself did or did not try them, truthfully. I am not concerned morally if he did or didn't but it had me thinking how should I take this in. How much value should I place on this character either way. If he did in fact not try DMT, LSD or other psycadelics for that matter, then how valid was his opinion?<br /><br />I speak from the perspective of someone who has indeed tried a number of psychedelics and had my own unique experiences with them. After all, my interest in alter states and what they provide is what leads me continually to listen to interviews such as these. I think its a great and enjoyable, and at times disturbing, way to find yourself. When you realize your god and you see nothing but infinity around you, you tend to not forget an experience like that. It rips open your view of the world and mutates it into something shockingly brilliant. People who try psycadelics, if they dont run into the nearest hidy hole to get away from themselves, tend to open up to a spiritual life.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjZR7GOaqaSg2u1rz9xs9GZWxei_w0fQOIotOiwae2FsZXZqj8xyR9Vu3M4DFq1_v6MExQ9VKSbykqrLuGL7b36iq7inch1rURRkzdQx-sobIhN38f5BQJ3THzF8szv74g46GaTVIwuU/s1600-h/strassman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRjZR7GOaqaSg2u1rz9xs9GZWxei_w0fQOIotOiwae2FsZXZqj8xyR9Vu3M4DFq1_v6MExQ9VKSbykqrLuGL7b36iq7inch1rURRkzdQx-sobIhN38f5BQJ3THzF8szv74g46GaTVIwuU/s320/strassman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418639716912370258" border="0" /></a>I think either way Dr Strassman has a valid perspective through mear observation. His scientific approach does leave us with accounts of experience and his observations of those experiences. Though his findings are valid from his perspective, I find them lacking in the face of real experience. He is mearly a log keeper of the real deal that his patient guinea pigs got first hand. So what makes him a doctor? Going to school and understanding chemical reactions is fine and dandy. It serves its purpose. But does that make his interpretations any more applicable? In my eyes doctors and scientists go first. They find the path and develop the trails for us to follow in. They are our heroes and leaders. But what happens when they setup basecamp and send others ahead to have the experience themselves? Is this why society is so ill? Have our doctors retreated from the front lines in order to maintain something, yet the majority still insist on following them? Why do would our "leaders" do this?<br /><br />Do doctors care more about how they are taken by others than what they are exploring? The scientific community will make or break you if you attempt to participate. I suspect people like Strassman who "know" their careers hang on the very way they are accepted would rather play by the rules than dive in head first. This may be why Im more attracted to people who do go first, willingly or not. Terrence Mckenna, one of my favorite speakers, was happy to go first. His insights and depth with the tales of dreamscapes and experience are literal expressions of the drugs themselves. His willingness to let go and allow the drugs to alter his consciousness and perceptions changed him into the being he became.<br /><br />You may be thinking that doctors cant solve all the mental and physical illness plagueing humans by taking drugs first. At this moment in time I think that is true. I think they are stuck in one spot too afraid to move. How can they cure what is changing by staying in one place? Its like trying to dig your feet into the rockbed of a river. You refuse to move because all the other people around tell you they wont accept you if you dont do it too. The pressure of the water is stressful. Some people hold onto the edges of the river and the doctors tell them how to do it right. They position them differently on the edge and see how that changes things.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjx3F_GLBOoPtZ1h4B3aRt_TXYrZWu1AHP_Z30JXS3Ut_r35jncNpJ2njIGJhyphenhyphen7t40dyFiZ9L9tRAo0tuqUzL412v7tOTLixzwUL-zhArCWR0U_2a83s0IbG7SfjMZEwGFYYtYfv-_jg/s1600-h/shaman.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwjx3F_GLBOoPtZ1h4B3aRt_TXYrZWu1AHP_Z30JXS3Ut_r35jncNpJ2njIGJhyphenhyphen7t40dyFiZ9L9tRAo0tuqUzL412v7tOTLixzwUL-zhArCWR0U_2a83s0IbG7SfjMZEwGFYYtYfv-_jg/s320/shaman.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418638451377264914" border="0" /></a>At one point in our history we didnt have doctors. Doctors play by scientific rules. They swim in scientific doctrine. Before there were scientists there were shamans. Shamans were the men who traveled the cosmos before others were guided. We seem to have switched out shamans for doctors. Look at the past hundred years and how the most popular drugs are outlawed, we live in an age of prohibition. The drugs that are given are controlled substances.<br /><br />I imagine a future where science as we know it now is long gone. And the time we experience now is known as the era of ignorance. A brutal disruption of healthy flowing life by shear pig headedness. Where wheelers and dealers are the leaders and the cattle buy whatever is sold. Where the ones who resist the most are seen as powerful and strong. We live in the age of commercialism and because of this have lost a real connection with reality, to the point where most people dont see god in everything they experience. Where so many people would rather not think instead of searching.<br /><br />We are told we are limited. That our bodies die and so do we. And that is that. What if you knew you were infinite? That you were everyone and everything. That your body doesn't stop at your skin. That your mind isnt restricted to your brain, but is literally everything. How would your life change? No doubt thats a scary thought to even ponder for most. The sense of freedom you would find yourself in hurts. It would feel like you just came up from the pressures of living 16000 feet under water and tried standing on land. Evolutionary theories tell us this is exactly what we did. I'm not saying science is all bad. Its merely stuck. Its taken on an egoic role of importance and it doesn't want to change. But it will. Its already changing by me writing this.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzd8w7bFrfKODxqV9cjyKS7DS1ln1-3UBTbBcLkPVUI32tPI1xXILfEWJ6Me3e6g0FkUriTI5jVkXzXTK-FTSLymZMkxy8wYnxPM-kUnx8JoBvwQBYR0KO926vjL-LiDK50AS9fPCA6XI/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzd8w7bFrfKODxqV9cjyKS7DS1ln1-3UBTbBcLkPVUI32tPI1xXILfEWJ6Me3e6g0FkUriTI5jVkXzXTK-FTSLymZMkxy8wYnxPM-kUnx8JoBvwQBYR0KO926vjL-LiDK50AS9fPCA6XI/s400/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418639962877264066" border="0" /></a>So what happens when everyone gets sick of being sick? When everyone gets tired of not knowing who to trust and where real leaders exist. We turn inward. We become the shaman. As buddha said "Perception is everything [and] Your health is in your care". You are the victim of the rules you live by. When you see that the act of the holding to the edge of the river or digging your feet into its floor is futile and harmful you see that you have a choice. Hold on, or let go. Who then is your leader? You are.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-15541541840885219882009-12-22T13:15:00.000-08:002009-12-22T14:18:15.885-08:00My Story and Hunter S Thompson"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold." This first powerful and gripping sentence from page 1 of Fear and loathing in las vegas by Hunter Thompson is so compelling and intriguing that I couldnt help but want more. Recently Ive developed an interest in the writing style of the late crazed wordsmith. His drug enduced tales are some of the finest Gonzo journalism youll find. Mainly because he invented it. Its a mix of fiction and non fiction that hones in on the truth of such conditions and the skewed perspectives of the times with brutal force and incists you come along for the ride. Im not much of a writer but I enjoy the communication abilities of a good doctor of the written word. Words form concepts and concepts form intention and story and plot and so on and so on into the human mind. At my level of experience I think a good writer tells a story that pulls you in rather than gently pushes. Whether that story is fact, fiction, small or big it must be a vortex into the abyss of the specific experience. I find Hunters work very interesting. Its well written and keeps the mind turning. As shocking as some of the material is the truth of it is hard to miss.<br /><br />Ive written many words, had many conversations, and studied many subjects. Some of which to a major depth that many people have yet to realize is available if only they will take the path. Writing is one that I find increasingly more fascinating. Its a field that is far from impossible to enter into. All manner of creatures have made it their playground. Writing, as all manners of creation are, is a tool that effects change in the universe. Another way to flap our wings as a butterfly effects the winds. Its another tool for reaching outward with our consciousness. Asking god for more feedback so that we may wake up and remember who and what we are once again. With this realization I ask myself. Why write? What am I seeking to remember? Its these very questions that makes me realize Ive already begun to forget. Waves of waking up and falling asleep to myself are like ghosts wandering the hallways of a creepy old house.<br /><br />2 Weeks ago the dots of a story began to connect in my mind. I played with many ideas that struck me as powerful and significant. I still wonder why this story feels so compelling to me. How do I tell it? Its so huge and Im amateur at story telling. Heck I dont even read books and have never attempted to even read a small story in a comic book. Is this mode of thinking because a society gone wrong? Or is it the process of consciousness waking up to itself. If reading to gain information was so important then why dont I seem to have that capacity? As our universe expands and consciousness grows it becomes increasingly more complex. This means you dont have to travel as far to receive the same amount of information. Could this be why people these days dont read? Information travels faster and stronger without the need for decoding written words. Listening and seeing are much faster modes of data download. Writing seems to be an ancient form we still need to keep around. Yet it does not evolve at the same rate as other mediums. You could say the same thing about our bodies and minds. Though our bodies still evolve they evolve at a much slower rate than our minds. We shift identities moment to moment as new information is assimilated and we discover something new within.<br /><br />So how does a drugged psychotic writer develop a style of writing that makes him a functioning story teller? Did he go to school and find good form? Or did he simply apply himself to projects and studied his favorite writers and a style emerged from dark shadows. I expect any good writer would. This is not a science its an art. Just as life is not a science its an art. Though the majority of evangelical scientists would disagree. Words spill from the lips of gods. We seem to be able to choose which gods we want to hear. And thus is art.<br /><br />So here I am. I find myself writing to you, this blog, the universe - asking for the starting point. But I already know, its here now. Life is staring me in the face and it hears me instantly. Giving me the next step if I will only open up to it. I hear a voice. "Look at your life man. Look at the opportunities your being given. Your growing, it takes time. Have faith you are being guided and let the need for it to be done now go. The journey is the point, not the finish line. When you get to the finish the next race begins." Ok. Ill walk this path, through the thick of the quick sand. Trying not to resist and sink. But stay on the surface and move forward into the unknown depths of another creative outlet. I wont need to find my way, like a seductive temptress it will be unveiled and ready to have me.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-89089627223795313182009-07-06T23:39:00.000-07:002009-07-07T02:08:20.686-07:00We the conflicted ones...I had a new moment of lost again and realized something that I wanted to share with you. We find ourselves in a moment of pain or fear and battle with it in that moment. What we battle with are the very things that keep the battle going. We pretend to not be in fear, we tell ourselves "Im smart, im a good person, im good looking, im happy", and so on. But there is a little thought every time from the depths that says the opposite. "Umm, your not very smart or clever, your not really worthy enough to have an opinion, your ugly, that person was right about you." We attempt to pump ourselves up to feel better about ourselves and it only serves to pull us down. That is our weapon. The fear is not gone, in fact it grows more powerful. The weapons you used against the fear were given to you by fear! This interaction of light and dark forces inside of ourselves is like a vortex pulling you in. Perception is creating the experience.<br /><br />In the moment of feeling lost I realized inside of my mind existed a constant jumble of emotions and thoughts that were conflicted. I remembered what I have said and what others have said to me when feeling lost; "Where do i start?" How does one start to discover freedom in a prison?<br /><br />Seeing that fear is in controll changes everything. Once you see, you have begun to change your relationship with it. To start seeing you must become observant and stop yourself and see what is driving you. Guy Finley calls this 'stopping the first response'. The first response is a mechanism in us that reacts right away. You might say something, hit someone, make a joke, kick something, watch a movie, pull grass out of the ground, jump onto a computer game and start killing things. We dont see that we hurt people through this mechanism. Someone says something to you and your first response is to say something and you see their face change or their tone change. You might see that you have just hurt that person because you are in pain. We are using fears weapons once again and we dont even know it. You stop yourself when you get that urge and you see what is asking for you to do that. Sometimes you do it anyway but you stop yourself the next time because you glimpsed it a little. Realize that when we are doing this we are answering fear. If we truly want to become free then we must change our relationship with fear.<br /><br />What we need to do after we see is to learn to stop feeding it power. Let go of needing to fight. We seem to find ourselves minutes, weeks, years down the road, completely conflicted and have no idea about true freedom anymore. We are lost in the prison of our mind. We have fed it so much power through the war inside of ourselves that we cannot see the light of day.<br /><br />What helped me to come back to the now and let go of the conflict was to first see it and then to realize that it would pass me by if i just let it. Its a strange thing that we see a fear come up and we stand in front of it and say "Hey you! Fear, I don't like you. That's right, your just pain and suffering and Im gonna fight you." We dont realize that in this very moment we are feeding a fire and asking for more. It wants to pull us down and we participate in it! Of course we must do this in order to learn. The problem comes when we never give up on the battle. We fight that battle till the end of time because that's what we think we are meant to do. We actually start to identify with that feeling so much that we cant fathom it not being there. Then where do you start? Where do you start when there is no other reality to experience? You have already decided that this is it. Why try? So you keep fighting, living in misery. Letting fear tell you where to go and what to do. We become stale in that life because we don't know how to move into new areas. We actually start to live in a world of Hell.<br /><br />Ignorance is the jailer in our prison. Ignorance is what digs the hole that we fall in to. Ignorance is a black hole that sucks in all light. To live that divine life you must accept that you are subject to this. If you do not admit your in pain, that you have fear then it will never change. If you can see your in pain but instantly ask yourself "is this really the answer or just some guy tooting his own horn". Realize what is saying that inside of you! That's fear giving you a weapon to fight off more pain. Because the only way to truly become free, is to let yourself be free. Only then can you change it all.<br /><br />Lets jump to a matrix metaphore. If your life is the spoon, and you are attempting to control your life (bend the spoon) through your doing and thinking, then you will never bend the spoon. Its impossible. It will only cause you more and more pain. Try to realize the spoon doesn't need to be bent by you. Realize the hole that your in is not really there. And the prison doors are wide hope for you if you would simply let yourself be in a new moment, unknown to you previously. We seem to lack faith in those dark moments. In the bible jesus walked on water, the did this simply through faith. If we look at that story as a metaphore you can see the same thing we do in our lives.<br /><br />Peter and the deciples are in the boat and jesus appears to be walking on water. Peter takes Jesus' hand and is walking on water himself. Peter sees a wind coming toward him, becomes scared, and falls into the water yelling "lord save me!". Jesus takes his hand and helps him into the boat. They tell Jesus "You truly are the son of god". You can start to see some more sense in that story when you put yourself in the place of the characters.David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290170010877942992.post-40990941907635887272008-10-19T17:56:00.000-07:002008-10-19T22:46:03.373-07:00We will meet ourselves in the infinite singular moment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/drunkskipper/human.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/drunkskipper/human.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I was listening to Paul Levy interview and he made the analogy of many grains of sugar dissolving in water one by one, until the last grain combines with all the rest to form a crystal, sort of like the straw that broke the camels back. See I think that the mayan calendar and the timewave zero ideas are all about how fast the changes are taking place. i know the timewave is all about a fractal growth of compounding experiences. It does seem that the crystals are happening faster. That experiences in time are quickening, the termed coined by coast to coast radio host art bell.<br /><br />His book describes the ideas of living through threats of global economy, government, aids, ebola, nuclear terrorism, volcanos and earthquakes. And because of these experiences we will soon see increased spiritual awareness. The mayan calendar and the timewave zero effect both describe the condensing of experiences into smaller and smaller instances of time. Effectively forcing the higher conscious beings to experiences time faster and faster into what seems to be an infinite moment where we are fully in the singular moment.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://what-buddha-said.net/Pics/Buddha%27sface.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://what-buddha-said.net/Pics/Buddha%27sface.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I think this idea is the same as how buddha achieved enlightenment. Buddhism is not really a religion with a godhead. It is a way of learning to control ones mind. The buddha taught that the best way to live life is in the moment. The past is an illusion just as the future holds worry, doubt, and hope. The one singular moment is nirvana. I think this is how time stops, by perceiving that it doesn't exist. And i think we are growing toward that. I think that what we are experiencing is a desensitizing effect. The more concepts we are faced with the less pressure is put on us to live in the past or future, and thus we find ourselves in this moment.<br /><br />I personally feel my being coming into closer and closer contact with what we might call enlightenment. I feel like we are all climbing a ladder of consciousness. Some people can see where others are and where they have been. They can also look to see where they are going and what is to come.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://melissaoquinn.com/CG150/images/enlightenment.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://melissaoquinn.com/CG150/images/enlightenment.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I wonder if I am the only one experiencing life more and more as a single individual. I dont run on the concept that I am an individual mind you, I cant even seem to feel other beings as seperate anymore. Or at least not very often. I find that the deeper I go into consciousness, awareness, philosophies, and oneness, the more I find myself alone. I think that this is due to the clarity one derives from such experiences. When we go head first into such things we find ourselves more and more in the single moment. We are less likely to become attached to anything and this even means people, ideas, and belongings. My head seems to be a jumble of random thoughts and concepts. But they seem to guide me to the single moment everytime they are called into action. They are used in moments that require reflection and judgement.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/images/Krishna_and_Radha_ISKCON.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/images/Krishna_and_Radha_ISKCON.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Personally I find myself alone in an oasis of wonder and excitement. Alone in the vast landscapes of my own mind. I cannot say that I am fully enlightened but I can feel myself coming closer to it. The singularity. i think this is what 2012 is, I think that I am god, you are all apart of me. But no more than you are god, and I am a part of you. Is the feeling of awakening a simple mans journey, or is it god waking up to discover himself exactly where he is? When I sit with a friend, or speak on the phone to a loved one, the conversation they present to me tends to be focused on such a low end of consciousness that I have no reply. I find myself bored with the mundane topics of our everyday existence. I either wait for the right moment, or make one, and start speaking as if from the very core and depths that my mind has traveled. I go directly to the level I am climbing and just as they lost me, I seem to loose them.<br /><br />I think this is the gap that is forming between the awakened and the blind. Though some awakening individuals still find they are struggling with a particular stage, they are still climbing the ladder. I dont think the blind are out just yet though. I think if one does not go with the flow of trying to grow and understand then one is forced into it. Reality beckons us to grow and mature as the infinite being we are. We find it hard to accept and look at because it means accepting who and what we are. And thats a scary thing to accept for some people. The idea that we are the reality beckoning our own selves to wake up. So reality pushes and nudges, giving disease and pain in ones life in order to help them grow from it and wake up to concepts of the infinite being.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.creativenonfiction.org/brevity/brev26hotcold/brev26pix/fear.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.creativenonfiction.org/brevity/brev26hotcold/brev26pix/fear.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>I increasingly find less attention pointed my way. Everyones attention seems to be focused on the hot spots reality is sharing; The election, martial law and illuminati, the NWO and economic slavery and so on. I suspect though that the friends I have developed are awakening too, and find just as I did, less and less of a need to argue with reality, but rather learn directly and to just go with the flow. I am myself finding it harder and harder to share with people, not out of fear but out of an inner need. It seems to have disappeared. I feel as if I have completed a circle and now Im along for the ride, climbing higher and higher perceptions of being. The questions I used to frequently get were of reality and oneness. I was happy to take time away from my regular painting to answer everything. The questions slowly stopped coming, and I can only hope that this is because i no longer have a need for them, and the senders have grown past that need as well. The answers given were accepted greatly, just to note.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://alexgrey.com/a-gallery/8-24/oversoul.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 366px;" src="http://alexgrey.com/a-gallery/8-24/oversoul.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Enlightenment is reaching high states of consciousness and living in the single moment. Yogis are noted as staying far away from society on their own spiritual journeys. They typically do not talk to people and find it difficult to share their knowledge and ideas. I think this is because the concepts and journeys they have traveled as so far ahead of the normal person that they are sort of like a genius. In the bible Jesus was said to appear to people sometimes as a child, sometimes as an elder. And I think this is one example of how to share with the beings around us. We must identify their levels and communicate with them on their level. Could it be that there are beings in this universe so far advanced then that communicating with us is almost an impossibility. But like I said earlier, I personally find it increasingly difficult to push myself to revert back to far surpassed concepts. Most of the time as well the person speaking to you has no wish to truly grow, and thus any advice given is advice gone unheard. Sometimes though It would be a great thing to know how to speak to someone who is really seeking to grow.<br /><br /><br /><blockquote>"As mentioned in a previous post, I feel that sharing can be a sneaky way of giving away any power you accrue.. This may be a subconscious sabotage of your own awakening. That is, if the material is really meaningful to you, why not keep it to yourself and incorporate it into your being, rather than trying to boost up your own ego? There is a fine line between helping another person and trying to paint yourself as an "awakened one".<br /><br />Most of us have a genuine desire to awaken, but we've been conditioned to treat ourselves as marketable objects. This information can be used to create an "enlightened being" object for others to interact with, and that would be missing the point, I think." <span style="font-weight: bold;">-seecubedeye</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">[ A Journeyer from RedIceCreations private forum]</span></blockquote><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Another Quote from the same forum post.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>"Arguments about politics, religion hook you and divert you away from higher ideas. There are some people I don't even talk to any more that used to be pretty good friends. Why scrabble in the mud when there's heaven to ponder. I just started reading Carlos Castaneda's The Art of Dreaming. Don Juan has explained that the world we perceive "is only one in a cluster of consecutive worlds, arranged like the layers of an onion." And that the art of dreaming, as he calls it, is to perceive those other energetic worlds. I saw something while I was on acid that must have been from one of those other worlds.

It was first proposed by the Calabrian doctor Aloysius Lilius, and decreed by Pope Gregory XIII, after whom it was named, on 24 February 1582 by papal bull Inter gravissimas. It is a reform of the Julian calendar. Years in the reformed calendar continue the numbering system of the Julian calendar, which are numbered from the traditional Incarnation year of Jesus, which has been labeled the "anno Domini" (AD) era, and is sometimes labeled the "common era" (CE), otherwise known as the "Christian Era". The Gregorian calendar system dropped 10 days to bring the calendar back into synchronization with the seasons and, to keep it there. But the calendar was being used as a year system and not a system for determining the place within the age. Even the idea of ages became a sort of pegan practice.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/jesuslargepictur.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/jesuslargepictur.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>Then the question should be posed if Jesus never really existed then when is this calendar supposed to really start? What supposedly happened in the year zero that was so significant a calendar system was started from it. The Great Year is a 26,000 year cycle consisting of 12 ages, each 2,160 years long. The ages are determined by the poles of the earth and whatever constellation the north pole points to determine the age. We are set to enter the Aquarian age at some point but there is no exact timeline. According to different astrologers' calculations, approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 AD (Terry MacKinnell) to 3621 (John Addey). The start date for the Aquarian age is highly contentious and there is no uniform agreement upon the date or process leading from the previous Pisces age to the Aquarian age (or between any two ages).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/spellbinder/images/astronomical-chart-01.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.channel4.com/science/microsites/S/spellbinder/images/astronomical-chart-01.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>The Mayan calendar ends on 2012 and that is when they believed the new age began. Energies, vibrations and consciousness shifts at this point to create a whole new paradigm for the state of life on earth. If the ages are said to be 2,150-2,160 years long and the age is ending in 4 years, it gets me thinking. Maybe Morpheus wasnt speaking to neo, maybe he was speaking to the one, the great oneness that is all life but for us most notably a oneness of humanity. I see the matrix as a waking up point, a catalyst for change. He said to neo, it is closer to the year 2199, than to the year 1999, as for the specific date they cannot be sure. For they had torched the skies in order to stop the machines. If the new age is starting in 4 years and the age length of 2,160 years is correct then we are really closer to the year 2,156. We have torched the skies indeed. Sent the practices of astrology and astronomy to very different corners of society. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f283/phyrcat/matrix_neo_in_morpheus_glasses.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 196px;" src="http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f283/phyrcat/matrix_neo_in_morpheus_glasses.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>We couldnt get to the stars so we brought the stars to us, now they light our roads and homes.

Jesus appears many time as having a halo over his head, as do angels. Christianity comes from sun worshiping which is why they worship on Sunday and why the son of god has a halo. But there are dozens of stories that match the jesus story<br />exactly, they are all sun worshiping stories.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jaredlowe.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/halo-jesus.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://jaredlowe.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/halo-jesus.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>A Solar Deity (also Sun God(dess)), is a deity who represents the sun, or an aspect of it. People have worshiped these for all of recorded history. Sun worship was exceptionally prevalent in ancient Egyptian religion. The earliest deities associated with the sun are Wadjet, Sekhmet, Hathor, Nut, Bast, Bat, and Menhit. First Hathor, and then Isis, give birth to and nurse Horus and Ra.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.wwu.edu/depts/skywise/a101/precession2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.wwu.edu/depts/skywise/a101/precession2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Another interesting Halo effect is the Great Year and the Precession of the Equinoxe. The whole concept of the ‘Great Year’ is based upon a genuine astronomical phenomenon. The Earth’s axis is not fixed and includes a slight ‘wobble’, properly called ‘nutation’, usually compared to that of a spinning-top when it is slowing down. This means that the poles describe circles, and that the North Pole does not always point to the same star or even any star.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span><p align="left"> <b></b></p>The Great Year is a 26,000 year cycle consisting of 12 ages, each 2,160 years long. The ages are determined by the poles of the earth and whatever constellation the north pole points to determines the age. Cycles of time are the result of three movements of the Earth. The rotation around the Earth's axis causes day and night. Our yearly orbit around the sun brings the four seasons. The third movement comes as a result of the gravitational pull of the sun and moon which causes the earth to gyrate, shifting the poles at the rate of one degree every 72 years. The earth shifts so that in 26,000 years the north pole points to four different stars.<p align="left"><b></b> </p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpm3oHFli5PPazDAhBEIrQa94eyZI4gmlu_jcRo0IVucsFX87xh-9Dk2Hamgv0jnI_lvNq4X_SfNRbRsSAHF_-xuEwiRGRhh4VqP7Ml-HQM3Er2aGLDWLtlxCv-VNNvKPzxgPCMHk4ew/s1600-h/haylo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 388px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtpm3oHFli5PPazDAhBEIrQa94eyZI4gmlu_jcRo0IVucsFX87xh-9Dk2Hamgv0jnI_lvNq4X_SfNRbRsSAHF_-xuEwiRGRhh4VqP7Ml-HQM3Er2aGLDWLtlxCv-VNNvKPzxgPCMHk4ew/s400/haylo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252339155095471298" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Haylo</span> on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Heroes</span>: <span style="font-style: italic;">Hayden Panettiere</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Milo Ventimiglia</span> are dating. <span style="font-style: italic;">Hayden</span> is the cute cheerleader noted as "save the cheerleader, save the world".

There is the obvious halo science fiction video game which won many awards and game of the year i dont know how many times. The game which is to be made into a 2009 movie halo, and is still uncertain if it will be created, focuses on a navy captain, his surviving marines, and a chemically-and-surgically-enhanced super soldier named <span style="font-weight: bold;">John-117</span> "Master Chief" must find out what the Covenant, the genocidal alien race they are at war with, are looking for on the ring. "<span style="font-style: italic;">However, Halo holds more secrets than either side imagined</span>." The Master Chief is thought to be the last <span style="font-weight: bold;">SPARTAN</span> alive. This character resonates strongly the Stallone character from Demolition Man <span style="font-weight: bold;">John Spartan</span>, a cryogenically frozen police officer who is unfroze and genetically enhanced, as well as his crime lord counterpart <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wesley Snipes</span>.<br /><div dir="ltr"><br />A strikingly in your face idea I stumbled upon is the logo from the game series HALO.

The Eye of Providence or the all-seeing eye is a symbol showing an eye surrounded by rays of light or a glory. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God keeping watch on <span class="mw-redirect">humankind</span>. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Halo the first game of the series was released in November 15. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">2001</span>.

To complete the syncs it seems, in the movie <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Demolition Man</span> where John Spartan (Stallone) and Lt. Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock) want to have sex they simply put on headbands and have digital sense sex.

In the article they go on to say: <blockquote>"Halo conjures visions of radiant beauty, power and wisdom.

This follows the same ideas that have been talked about few a few weeks now that we are possibly creator beings asleep. This is mentioned in the nines, in the 13th floor, in the matrix.

The mayans even spoke of 2012 as being in our minds, the place we must goto and the place where Quetzecoatal will return. The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar forms the basis for a New Age belief, first forecast by José Argüelles, that a cataclysm will take place on or about 21 December 2012, a forecast that mainstream Mayanist scholars consider a misinterpretation.

Only 100 years later we have reached 6.5 Billion, a parallel leap in syncronistic events must have also taken place.<br /><br />Coined by Carl Jung, Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. From the years when society had a low population i am sure syncs could be found. But these days with the population we have and the mass communication networks we have built information is traveling the globe at lightning fast speeds. It is becoming more and more aparent the syncronicities we are seeing because we seem to become increasingly more aware of it. Syncs to not just involve exchanged information they happen without our daily lives, an example might be if you flip through the channels and the words taken out of context on each channel seem to be speaking to you and telling you a message. We typically refer to them as "signs" or "a sign" that we are or arent supposed to do something. Jung coined the word to describe what he called "temporally coincident occurrences of acausal events." Jung variously described synchronicity as an "acausal connecting principle",<br />"meaningful coincidence" and "acausal parallelism".<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span> <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/TwoLorenzOrbits.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/TwoLorenzOrbits.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Patterns of the Matrix itself</span></span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">"Butterfly effect" "Chaos Theory"<br /><br /></span> <blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Of course the butterfly cannot literally <i>cause</i> a tornado. The kinetic energy in a tornado is enormously larger than the energy in the turbulence of a butterfly. The kinetic energy of a tornado is ultimately provided by the sun and the butterfly can only influence certain details of weather events in a chaotic manner. </span><br /><br /><br /></blockquote>The ideas of syncronistism make my mind drift to the point of seeing the matrix. We are becoming strikingly aware of the syncs in our daily lives and if we can take a step back when this happens we start to see the patterns of the matrix. I noticed a few events of this nature recently. A friend of mine was taged on facebook in a few photos and his girlfriends mother saw them. He was hanging out with a few friends and having a few laughs. The mother, for whatever reason, did not approve. I would regard this attitude as negative. She told her daughter of her displeasment, this info then fell to her boyfriend, so he took down the photos, the people who put them up became upset too, they talked to me, i talked to him, he talked to his girlfriend, and she talked to her mother. This is where the idea of black or white magic comes in. Using positive or negative words will cause this butterfly effect, this loop of karma *means doing* that eventually founds its way right back to the people who initiated each part.<br /><br />I can see this sort of information expansion happen now too. New ideas are formed from old ideas and thus they seem to be remembered rather than created. When someone figures out an<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff168/rushknown/butterfly_effect_ver2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff168/rushknown/butterfly_effect_ver2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> idea based on old ones they post it on their blog. Other people who read their blog walk away with those ideas and use them to create new ones. I saw this happen recently and the originator of one of the ideas got bent out of shape because he saw his ideas spreading and didnt like the way it was happening. If we are aware enough then we can understand it will spread how it is supposed to. Just as we are only remembering we arent really having any ideas stolen.<br /><br />I find this image quite interesting as it seems to portray the creator god Ashton Kutcher as an angel with his butterfly yet white angelic wings of spirals.. Possibly being the water drop for the resonating film the <span style="font-weight: bold;">NINES</span> with Ryan Rehnolds. Another creator god and possible ArchAngel, a chief or principal angel; in medieval angelology one of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">NINE</span> orders of celestial attendants on God. Ashton uncovers his powers of changing his own reality when reading journal entries from his childhood. The effect is inaccurate to the butterfly effect and this seems to suggest power over ones own future.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.freewebs.com/firstperfidian/PB-1-UNIVERSE%20SHAPE.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.freewebs.com/firstperfidian/PB-1-UNIVERSE%20SHAPE.bmp" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I realize as I am writing this that these spirals are the same spirals I personally witnessed on my LSD trip to becoming god for those few moments. I saw spirals of this fashion as far as the eye could see. And this is how i think the whole fabric of reality works including the largely complex patterns of the everyday events and moments of our lives. i never realized the swirls i saw, the endless spirals of woven light strings during my trip was the butterfly effect<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQCBmUgL9SWMM0Bn4P3gUdvONFswp5HgvqMl04z-di_705NgTrTDjxLqmJa9PVS1zjX3i-WPjyqV1VRask0fvCeti3Tdh7ifh2sxk13eCfuyoS_FA13t3PBR5_oDPStQuYpBPXl5CI_0/s1600-h/buttefly-effect.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 463px; height: 493px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQCBmUgL9SWMM0Bn4P3gUdvONFswp5HgvqMl04z-di_705NgTrTDjxLqmJa9PVS1zjX3i-WPjyqV1VRask0fvCeti3Tdh7ifh2sxk13eCfuyoS_FA13t3PBR5_oDPStQuYpBPXl5CI_0/s400/buttefly-effect.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252265910915756898" border="0" /></a><br />And to conclude the idea. I think we are actually becoming quite aware the effects we have when we flap our wings. We are connected completely to the fabric and thus every word we utter and every noise we make causes unfathomable amount of occurrences. But when we hone our intent and understand what we cause by flapping our wings then we can make better decisions of what we share. This opens the gateway to full oneness consciousness and being conscious of the infinite moment. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span>David Shearerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17865813482143098620noreply@blogger.com4
