If you are so caught up in your intellect and what is and has been defined, how will you ever discover more?

If you are so stuck on your judgements and beliefs about what is real and what is not, how will you ever discover what is unreal?

If you are only flesh and blood, consisting of mind, body, and emotions, how will you ever experience the richness and possibility of an everlasting spiritual identity and the promise that might hold?

If the flesh and blood is your anchor, how will you ever access the mysterious possibilities available through Mother Nature and the quantum field of possibilities? Interacting your energy with Source?

What is, is not all – there is always more.

I know I make statements of belief, and I want you to know, I’m not held in their tentacle grip. I am always looking for more, and, and, and, and, what else. As I discover more, I can evolve more. It’s much like programming a computer; the first release works fine and over time with advances made in knowledge, skills, and tools, you are able to embed new code and out comes release two. This is the journey of awareness and integration.

I just found out. It sort of came to me in a flash of clarity; shocking, stark clarity. I’m not normal. I never have been and I never will be. It’s like having the earth fall out from beneath you and discovering that you’re just floating in space; you’ve always been floating in space. Everything else was just an illusion. And then I see it, all of space, not just that focused pinhole where I thought I saw the earth vanish. It’s then I realize that normal never existed and it never will. So why try to fit in? Look at the space around you. There are so many choices for you to discover who you are.

The Infinite is in Emptiness, it is those spaces – perfect – there is no light, there is no dark, there is no matter, no nothing, just – perfection – the source of love, of creation – it exists in the empty space of nothing – that’s where we come from, what we’re made of.

By going inwards, within ourselves, to reach the quiet space, we can hear God and hear our spirit – we cannot comprehend what we cannot see and what is nothing cannot be seen – and yet, nothing is everything.

Remember the invisible building blocks of the Universe. It’s all one and it is invisible.

How you look at things determines what you see. Difficult experiences cast a shadow upon the lens of the soul, as many express the limiting perspectives these experiences create. Recognizing and making choices to push beyond a limiting perspective yields enormous potential.

The challenge I’m finding now is combining head and heart without burning out.

A lot of people want to know how to do things. Search the Internet, read blogs, and there are a million of items telling you formula for this, for that, and everything in between. I’m a different sort of fish though. I want to understand.

The problem with wanting to understand is that it is a never-ending story.

“So how does this work?”

Well this goes here and does that causing that thing to go beep and that does this.

“Okay, so how does this, here, that, thing, beep, does this each happen and work?”

And down the rabbit hole I go.

So when you stumble around this site, wondering why you read something that sounds like advice but doesn’t really feel like it gives an answer; you’ve hit the jack-pot.

With understanding, you will gain access to your Answers.

Some people I know are very hung up on the importance of the human race. As I listen, thoughts of time since the beginning of existence, the multiple lives and deaths of the planet earth, all life upon her, and her rebirth with newly evolved life that one day will likely all be completely obliterated from our point-of-view as the Sun that gives us life destroys itself at some time in the long-distant future.

Emotional Intelligence triggered these thoughts. The link to Spiritual Intelligence. No one knows what that really means and everyone has made it mean their own thing. I will stand today and challenge everyone on that. Spirituality is not a belief in something, it is the pursuit of Truth and Understanding. In that same vein that life is not a destination, it is a journey, so is the Spiritual path.

Upon our world we literally bastardize every opportunity for enlightenment. I won’t get into why. I want to share a beautiful abstract thought of existence that popped into my head as these spontaneous points collided in that sheer moment. Quite remarkable.

We are children, all of us, no matter our age. Young, old, and everything in between are mere babes in Mother Cosmic’s arms. Our brielf blink of an eye will end, and something new and more beautiful will evelve. This is the nature of God, the Universe, Life Itself, Loging to Expand in Consciousness, Awareness, and who knows what. And the coolest part is we’re all a part of it.

If you’ve ever seen a time-travel movie, this stop in the human plane is a beginning on an even bigger journey. As the legends of bible suggest being seated at the right hand of god, at the suggestion of life-after-death by various traditions and belief systems, and by the abstract understanding of the cosmos itself, it is all true.

Life is a source of energy, of power. You are one such source. Also, the earth, me, other beings, entities, and so on. Each represents a life force that continues. Maybe they evolve, maybe there are joining of forces, maybe, maybe, maybe. But in essence, the reap what you sow pertains to the energy of the physical body while here on this earth.

Reap and sow love, you may become the Sun giving life to a Solar System. Reap and sow commerce, you may become a planet sustaining an ecosystem rich with biodiversity teeming with life. Reap and sow destruction, you may become … any suggestions ?? … violent sporadic moments of storms? Earthworms?

Just some fun and entertaining thoughts that can also challenge some of your most cherished beliefs. Sleep well.

I had the rare privilege to catch a beautiful prize. We puzzle, observe, tweak, and tune in an effort to lure that mother into sight. Ah, but she is elusive, slippery, clever, and sly as she dances in and out from the shadows. Not tonight though, no! She bathed there in the moonlight, clear as the stars. As clarity and focus regained from surprise, I took in her vision.

There the stark contrast between two similar beings, invested and gifted in the fields of human experience revealed a clear insight tonight. This gifted individual, whom I much admire, delves passionately into the studies and experiences of metaphysics, religion, human thought, emotion, etc., engaging people around the world with her upbeat message and antics. And yet, she has survived the underbelly, where the darkness threatened to suffocate, developing a compassion, strength, and understanding that has gifted her upbeat message and attitude. God love her!

And then there is me. I always liked Eeyore when I was a kid. He didn’t seem to mind his lot in life though. He was sort of hum-drum about it all, it’s just another day, while everyone around him wanted to feel sorry for him. Then, Eeyore and others would typically part company; I mean, really, how often did we see Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh? Not very often!

To make matters worse, I googled Winnie the Pooh because I wasn’t quite sure how to spell Eeyore. I’m sure you understand – it’s not a common name. There in the top 5 search results was the Wikipedia page for Winnie the Pooh. Now that has to have all the characters names and a chronological account of the character(s) and story development over the years. I ended up all the way down at the bottom and briefly caught sight of a film title “Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore.” How could Eeyore be so overlooked and swept off into obscurity. Is it what we don’t like to look at?

As I saw the prize catch, an insight basking in the glow of moonlight, I recognized it in the contrast. I saw that she sprang up with her messages and energy, while I invited you to sit down in the compost for a bit. I chuckle at my metaphor. You see, this is not a bad place to spend a little time, and I suppose that is why I am what I am. I funkacize things that are going on in and around me all the time. Look at it one way, hang with it another, bounce it here, there, and back and forth again. Drive a few people nuts along the way, I might as well add – since I’m being so honest.

In the end, you begin to recognize the sweet fragrant smell that fertilizes the life that you’re living. The richness of life well lived may well be like a compost pile, but look at the musty-sweet smelling heap of death and decay: It’s rich with nutrient values, dreams, seeds of hope and love, and every other beautiful moment in your life that has brought joy and pain. It’s full of life!

And please, fans of Winnie the Pooh and gang, don’t fuss! I love Piglet, Rabbit, Roo, and Tigger too! I love them all. And there’s good news too. Eeyore has his own wikipedia page – I found that out too!
