A Culmination Time

Exploring the basics. During this recent culmination time, when emphases I energized in the past and other manifestations from multidimentional sources have been emerging to my conscious awareness, what has stood out as a fundamental basic is individuality.

Many of the categories and other containers I‘ve used over the years with which to think about situations and people have been slipping away, where there‘s much more of a directness now without those filters and evaluators. I‘ve Realized that even though a person‘s words and/or actions may tell one story, there is most likely a whole lot more going on within that person‘s overall psyche, (which can be consciously hidden from her or him too) … And my conclusion is to be aware of each person‘s uniqueness, while also using my point of energization power in ways where I feel I‘m playing my part as wholistically as I can > letting it all go, where others do what they do or not-do.

One manifestation I‘m experiencing today is the result of divine Trust that I emphasized many times in previous years, when I Saw I didn‘t have enough of it in my Life. For me, I think it has provided a great underlying and growing energy vehicle.

All of my various aspects are involved in this personal culmination process now—as an Essential I/spirit-being, body organism, multidimensional self, all-things-considered self, and possibly others I'm not consciously aware of yet—reflecting and deciding what “we” will choose to make significant when we finish the process we‘re currently in of going through many materials in “our” personal room upstairs. They are in baskets, paper folders, computer files, etc. At the same time, as a Selector I Am purposely listening to all my inner voices, and becoming more familiar with them.

The winter season that began officially on December 21, 2010, is a great time for this culmination/evaluation focus. And “we” are clear that when we do make new choices, they will automatically set up new probabilities for connections and experiences, which I think is another basic of this reality system.

Other basics I‘m Seeing at this time are: each of us as a spirit-being human is part of Oneness, where each of us uses our personal power of creativity, imagination, and energizations amidst an overall divinity that is primarily moving towards well-being for all. (Therefore, I think that when we set up oppositions and hierarchies we really make things difficult for ourselves and others, and there needs to be a lot of effort and hard work involved to use and experience those oppositional and hierarchical patterns.)

More about Jim and I. In my last blog posting on 12/18/10, “Exploring the Basics,” I said that when playing my part as a responsible female over the years, I had been consistently passionate about maintaining the health and vitality of Jim and my relationship, believing in the power of divine Love—and our synergistic dyadic Love. Filling out more of the picture now, I think Jim had also been passionate about the health and vitality of our relationship in his way. As I See it today, he, like many men, oftentimes showed and shows his passion through his actions, without accompanying words; while many of us females have spent a lot of time talking with ourselves and other females about our relationships of many kinds.

And here again, Jim and my passion about being together was set within the context of the time and place, and also within the context of what else each of us had predominantly active in our individual psyches at various times. Yes, during our first forty years together I think Jim and my relationship was very complex, as I think many others have also been and are. Currently, he and I are even more directly relating with one another in each transaction daily, where as Artists of the Spirit we are choosing to increase our skills with the use of our mental and emotional communication processes. We are both energizing a belief container that we are each an individualized portion of Oneness who is creatively and artistically using our basic individual point of power amidst this time and space reality.

Potency and Impotence. Having lived within and directly experienced an era in the U.S. when we white females were definitely second class citizens (as were male and female blacks), and white males were the first class citizens, I have considerable fodder for contrasts with my Life today. My past experiential comparisons amidst a superior/inferior and oppositional dualistic society are extensive.

While in the bathtub the other day, with a lot of emotional satisfaction I Realized that I have effectively taken my power back from my own originations that had led to connections and events I no longer choose to experience. Other than what I‘m originating on a daily basis for my Life in the present, the only big-scale emphasis I‘m currently making will be portrayed in a watercolor picture of a clay pot of peace I‘m both imaginatively planting and painting. When the picture is completed, I‘ll put it on the door to my personal room.

The clay pot of peace will have a branching, growing vine in it, and a little above the center of the picture there will be a Holiday card I received this year, where there‘s a white dove of peace on a swirly red background. This pot of peace symbolizes my energized and passionate contribution to current-day events—that is, peace that goes far beyond wars and battles. Other than that, in the present I Am open and receptive to emergings from what I‘ve already energized and to multidimensional manifestations. I now know I no longer need to “mix it up” in confrontational ways with other spirit-being humans, that there are far easier and more effective ways for me to Live.

Time and space. Currently, I think there is a basic time and space for this reality system. From a dream on 12/16/10, in my journal Dances and Dancers I wrote, “In last night‘s dream I experienced a fuller, rounder time and space than a linear or even associative cultural process. It certainly was different—and quite wonderful!“

My body organism. Earlier this month (December 2010), after listening to the BBC's/IPR‘s radio program The Changing World about “The Mysteries of the Brain,” it was even clearer to me that my body organism has a mind of its own. So even though our current-day cultural concept about a mind-body connection is certainly valid, where our thoughts and emotions directly affect our bodies … what I also Understand even more clearly now is how vast the Intelligence is amidst my basic wholistic body organism.

And so that‘s an update of many of my discoveries up to now about “the basics” as I have been and am calling them, which I realize are certainly my own energized thought-form containers, and truly may not be applicable or relevant for other spirit-being people, which is another basic as I Understand it today in terms of basic individuality.

With Best Wishes to All of Us, J.

Exploring the Basics

And so on October 30th, 2010, I completed my portion of the fabulous dyadic Love story Jim and I collaboratively co-wrote and played parts amidst for forty years, within which I had truly cherished so many aspects of our co-creativity! The October 30th completion also included any ongoing immersion in the River of Love; I felt I had done the best I could with my translations and applications from within it along the way, as I and my worldview were expanding during the journey.

Nonetheless, making that “It‘s Completed” decision, and then being able to fully and effectively implement it had taken many months. During the lead-up time it had been a multifaceted, developmental (and rewarding) personal process. From the beginning of our dyadic relationship, playing my part as a responsible female, I had been consistently passionate about maintaining its health and vitality, believing in the power of divine Love—and our synergistic dyadic Love. What would happen to me, and Jim and I, when I energetically dissolved that whole construction of mine?

For his part, Jim too had truly enjoyed and cherished so much of our dyadic journey and Love story, while he had also felt overly constrained at times as he experienced the results of our co-creativity. Then after forty years, we both knew we had each filled that script out … it was completed. Reflectively-speaking, I feel privileged to have been able to play out two major roles available to spirit-beings with female bodies—both as a mother and as a female in an adult dyad—with two such wondrous dancing partners.

Jim and I are now exploring our current-day personal passions. We both feel much freer this way, and can be even more interested in what each of us is doing when we come-to-meet at meals and other times during the day and evening. Our mutual and deepening Appreciation for each other is increasing, where everything is a fresh creative opportunity daily > new stories and new dances.

Jim‘s central emphasis at present is his own wholistic inner processes, along with music, still and video photography, golf with a practice area in the basement, our daily interactions, and ongoing Life-maintenance activities. Since I‘m no longer writing about current-day cultural matters, I won‘t be representing any of Jim‘s point of view either, as he too follows emerging cultural events … if he has anything to say, he can do so with his blog (jimwithin.blogspot.com).

Today, both in the immediate present and the spacious present, I Am primarily amidst a completely different reality as a fully liberated Being, freed from ongoing patterns and connections—open and receptive. It‘s a culmination time, when purposeful emphases I made throughout my Life are appearing; and sometimes many previous focuses that took days, weeks, and months to study are entering my conscious awareness within the space of half an hour. And, as a liberated Being, I Am aligned with my body organism that is freed from cultural programs, collaborating with what it wants and needs, where together “we” are confidently standing and moving on our own two feet amidst overall divinity and its supportive environment. (I have written “I Am” as I have been doing because I believe that‘s what I and everyone else is fundamentally—and then each of us fills in and fills out the details of “I Am”—what, who, and where.)

Recently, I and my body organism were attracted to a book we then ordered from One Spirit: Mike Dooley‘s Manifesting Change. The initial attraction was a sense that he might know something we didn‘t consciously know about manifestation, while my body organism and I are in the process of easily and effectively creating/co-creating a fully healthy body organism and Earth system to experience. (Sure enough, his book gave me an important way to think.)

When Dooley talked about how the original design of our Earth system came into existence, I could Understand that the origin of the basic Earth system is a collaborative dynamic painting that spirit-beings amidst Oneness craft together, which then naturally materializes—so the details of “how“ just manifest from that Oneness dimension. And then, each of us spirit-beings with body forms within this basic system of time and space, fills in and fills out our part with the choices we make. This is a BIG contrast to our Western world‘s cultural ways of thinking and “stories”—both scientific and religious—about the Earth‘s origin and our human place within it.

In terms of levels and dimensions, I‘m now choosing to think that as unfettered Beings we are all currently and collaboratively co-creating our basic system of time, space, and forms through our imaginative powers in a Oneness dimension. Then as individualized portions of Oneness who have chosen to come into this Earth system, we each experience the unique species and gender form we have selected, filling out our portion of the picture daily, where there is always free will within the system‘s flexible design. From my point of view, I think both dimensions—Oneness and our basic Earth reality system—are always operating simultaneously, both outside of time and space and within it … so for me, being able to move to and within them is an important skill to continue to develop as the essence of myself, the Essential I.

Therefore, when energizing this worldview about manifestation and dimensions, “I” have the powers of direct imaginative creativity, which I also think each of us is always using simultaneously, both at the Oneness level and as spirit-being humans. Hence, this seems to be an important perspective to have for my quest of knowing how to create/co-create and manifest a fully healthy body organism and a fully healthy Earth system, to then experience. And now, what about my body organism?

I think my basic body organism is an energy form, a combination of divine creativity crafted to be self-correcting and healthy … It‘s fundamentally intelligent, and constructed from an intermingling composite of mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and physical processes. That is, it is “wholistic.” It is basically spiritual in all its aspects, divinely crafted and inspired, and there are really no dualistic divisions like spiritual and physical, etc. I believe it has its own symbolic language.

In this reality system, we—me and my wholistic body organism—are collaboratively co-creating with Gaia, the overall living Earth system, which I believe is also basically intelligent and designed to be self-corrective and healthy in wholistic well-being terms. And together—my body and I—are co-creating with millions of other species members who are focused in those ways, including humans who are making similar choices.

What I‘m currently Seeing is that most of the human species (who are a small portion of the whole basic Earth system, and especially those of us in the Western world), have greatly magnified and distorted our role and place on the planet, which has obviously been part of the experiment here, where there is an opportunity in the present to change oneself individually.

In summary, I Am aligning my creative powers with my wholistic body organism as it explores what it can Be and do as it uses its unfettered creative powers, and together we are choosing to align with other spirit-being species members and those humans who are emphasizing in similar ways to my wholistic body organism and me.

In answer to the question of why “we” didn‘t figure all this out earlier? … Because the appropriate experiences, Understandings, positions, perspectives, and pieces had to be in place, appropriately weighted, and appropriately aligned with one another for us to play our part in the ongoing drama, such as we can do now.

From recent dreams I‘m interpreting that there are many spirit-being people in today‘s world who are looking for different ways of thinking and a different identity. I also think each of us amidst this reality system crafts our own individual and unique journey, that there isn‘t A Process or A Pathway, although there are basic system principles. I know “I” have multiple basic capabilities, which I Am in the process of discovering more about, including more about “me.” Then together “we”—my wholistic body organism with its abilities and me with my abilities—are collaborating to find out what we can Be and achieve, individually and together—using the basics.

With Fresh Love and Beyond Love, J.

Enough Is Enough

On March 20th of this year (2010), I posted a blog titled “A Completely Different Reality.” At the time I thought I was saying goodbye, or at least was doing so for the rest of the year. But unexpectedly in August, materials for another essay arose from levels that were deeper than my conscious awareness … which I decided to develop, and then blog posted. After that, four more essays emerged, were developed, and also posted—one in September and three in October. Then recently, amidst an all-things-considered framework using multiple perspectives, I‘ve wholistically decided to no longer write about current-day cultural happenings in any more blog postings.

Even though I‘ll continue to be aware of local, state, national, and global events, in the future it will be exclusively from a Witness/Observer position. As I Understand “how it all works,” with the effective implementation of this decision, mental/emotional energy encroachments from the current-day world will be greatly reduced … and as a composite-multidimensional Being, I‘ll have lots more energy and time freed up for explorations in A Completely Different Reality.

One of my recent Evaluations is that within the accelerating, ongoing, and emerging spirit-being human symphony of worldviews, which I believe has been and is taking place, I‘ve already played my part to the best of my abilities. My contributions are already there amongst Jim‘s and my book, God‘s River of Love; in my manuscript, Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications; and within my blog postings. So, if there is anything that seems to be of value to anyone from any of it, she or he can extract and play with it in their own ways. And if there are any future blog postings, they will be about my adventures in A Completely Different Reality, which I‘m also characterizing as Beyond the Beyond.

More background. From my point of view I‘ve succeeded with my original intent when I began writing God‘s River of Love in early 1999, which was to open windows and doors to other ways of thinking, including one‘s identity, which God, getting as close as I could over the years to “how it all works,” and practical ways to replace “the troublemakers,”adversarial and polarized ways of thinking. Early on I tried to provide a large-enough container for the concept of “God,” as a transcendent realm of being that flows through each of us and connects us all … where people of many faiths and belief constructions might choose to expand, understanding there is a vast dimension of creative Source energy, from which and with which we spirit-being humans have been using our powers of creativity with our own designs. One way to think is that everything is spiritual, coming from our basic selves as spirit-beings.

Beginning in early 1999, I purposely shifted the centrality of my identity to Being an individualized portion of divinity, within an interwoven dimension of horizontal Oneness with everyone else as a spirit-being human. In other words, I chose to turn what I saw as a laborious process of spiritual ascension upside down, starting from a position that was part of the goal of many other worldviews, and proceeding from there.

Back to the present. By concluding as I did in the previous blog posting on 10/29/10 that I think we-here-in-the-United States will never again attain the type of economic global supremacy we had in the past; we will not be able to bring back or originate enough good-paying middle-class jobs; and that the global competition race is over for all humans because it depends upon the continued exploitation and destruction of this current-day Earth, which is the Life-support system for all species—it makes no sense for me to continue to spin it around any longer. Enough is enough.

This past October 30th Jim and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, officially ending the wonderful trip we co-crafted and the script we collaboratively wrote, where we each played our parts vigorously. With the completion of our individual and dyadic journey, I was filled with overflowing emotional Satisfaction and feelings of Success, because when we came together in 1970 we both said we wanted something better than either one of us had experienced … Well, we both think we have very successfully achieved that—and much more! The next day—October 31, 2010—we started at zero, with Day One of A New Adventure, where we can use the past as fodder for the present, while not carrying any baggage forward. Individually and together, we‘re traveling light.

Before I leave I want to paint one more picture. Last Tuesday—November 2, 2010, which was also Election Day here in the U.S.—in the afternoon I listened to a Diane Rehm interview on NPR that I had audio taped earlier that day. She was talking with one of the coauthors of a new book by Prince Charles of Wales—Harmony, A New Way of Looking at Our World. There was another man, a conservationist, who also participated in the conversation. That evening, together Jim and I listened online to the interview. Earlier in the day Jim had already ordered a hardcover copy of the book from Amazon, and we‘ll both be reading it. But before doing so, I want to summarize some of what I heard during the Rehm interview, while adding my own note of caution.

What I understand is that Prince Charles—heir to the British throne and next-in-line to succeed his mother, Queen Elizabeth II—has used his position and resources for decades, exploring the existing environmental realities and our human species‘ place amidst them, where as humans we have been both initiators and experiencers. One of his conclusions is that our collective human worldview, which was characterized as an industrialized mindset, has disconnected us from Nature‘s intrinsic tendency towards harmony and balance. So, he and his colleagues are proposing a different worldview, one that begins a process of reconnection. They state that the way we‘re living now as the human species is not environmentally sustainable.

I heard that in Harmony they are talking about many ancient cultures having a more spiritual view of Nature, and that many current-day indigenous people live in a Sacred Present, bringing a type of spiritual dimension into their daily Lives. So here‘s my caution—While our Western world‘s scientific and evolutionary ways of thinking have given many of us truly wondrous and comfortable lives, these same human design constructions have also resulted in enclosed matrixes of beliefs. Moreover, these scientific enclosures include our human-constructed pattern about objectivity, that is, what we can experience with our physical senses is what‘s “real.”

From my perspective, by using a combined Western world scientific, evolutionary, and objective worldview, where we sincerely believe we have evolved from more primitive people and their superstitious beliefs, individually and collectively we currently are convinced that our ways of thinking about reality and we ourselves are superior to those we consider to be more primitive and less evolved.

In my manuscript Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications (that is on the associated website www.withinlovesriver.com), in the chapter “Science and Religion,” I say that both the objective and subjective can be seen as important and complementary, if one chooses to view them that way. And in the later chapter, “Going Beyond,“ there is some material about experiments from quantum physics, where physicists discovered their attempts to measure the phenomena they were studying affected the phenomena; subatomic particles respond to observation. My conclusion is there are more expanded containers we humans can co-construct for a more wholistic science—and for our very Lives.

At present, from what I heard in the Diane Rehm interview, I think many of the perspectives presented in Prince Charles‘ book, Harmony, A New Way of Looking at Our World, can be important stepping stones. My question is, without standing back from our current-day Western enclosures, which usually include our very identities, how can we individually and collectively be effective enough to really change the energies already in motion?

Jim thinks the crux of the solution to our economic-environmental dilemmas lies in the economic system itself, where all people have to have ways to support themselves while protecting the environment. I certainly agree with him!

In one of my earlier blogs I talked about a renowned religious scholar whose central emphasis was a belief in “the sacred” as the source of power, significance and value, where each religion including shamanism, approached that dimension in their own way. That too can be seen as a valuable worldview, as all worldviews can be seen to be valuable in various ways, as food-for-thought and selective options, during the final stretch of our lengthy spirit-being human experiment.

And now from a Selector/Energizer position, as I did at the conclusion of the blog posting last March of “A Completely Different Reality,” I‘m imaginatively Seeing each of us spirit-being humans as equivalently-sized, pulsating globes of light and sound, where each of us is consciously and responsibly playing with our own unique and personal powers amidst overall divinity, in an age of Individual Creativity, Health, and Oneness. Jim asks, “What are we all, individually and together, going to do now?”

With Love and Beyond Love, J.

Many Worldviews

This essay is focusing upon the current-day U.S. economy, the loss of good-paying jobs here, the continuing erosion of the U.S. middle class, and the forthcoming U.S. midterm elections.

In early October 2008, Jim and I drove to mid Pennsylvania to visit my daughter, Kim, and her partner, Bob. During our trip we saw mile after mile of the decaying U.S. industrial infrastructure, a system Jim had been part of during its vibrant years in the 1950s and 1960s. When he graduated from Michigan State University in 1956 with a degree in industrial engineering, his first job was with a Michigan company that designed and built conveyor systems. From there, in the later 1950s he had been a plant engineer in Pennsylvania, and then in the 1960s a sales engineer and sales manager with a large automotive parts manufacturer and supplier in Michigan. The big three U.S. automobile companies—Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler—had been some of his customers. He also had many customers in other states.

During our fall 2008 trip Jim and I had ongoing conversations, where he described his experiences amidst America‘s industrial and manufacturing heyday when we were an industrialized nation that hadn‘t been directly involved in the destructions of World War II that other industrialized nations had experienced. Adding to Jim‘s industrial engineering education and 1950s-1960s experiences, there were also the individual and combined studies we did when we lived in the Sierra mountain foothills from 1975 to early 1986. And then when we cashed out our northern California lives and came to Michigan, Jim directly updated himself and me, from when he left the state in 1970 to join with me in southern California. Over the years, in our own ways, he and I have continued to build upon our past experiences, studies, and Understandings—so the picture he has today is one he has given a lot of considered thought to.

Currently Jim sees energies in motion by many spirit-being humans here in the U.S., who together share worldviews wherein they believe that if the American free enterprise system is unshackled, removing government restrictions and financial burdens upon personal creativity and ingenuity, our American culture will be able to ascend to its former glory. As Jim and I both see our economic situation currently in the U.S., that‘s a simplistic picture that won‘t work in today‘s world. But nevertheless Jim thinks the people who share that worldview need to play their scenarios out in the real world, and experience its impracticality and unrealistic assumptions.

Why do he and I both think the implementation of a restructured American free enterprise worldview is impractical, unrealistic, and won‘t work today? Because it‘s based upon an erroneous picture to start with of the Earth system itself and who/what we are as human Beings, including our human place within that system.

One of the differences between Jim and my perspectives has been and is that I do not believe these energies that are in motion for a revamped American free enterprise system need to be played out in the present or future. I think there are enough U.S. citizens who also passionately care about our country, who are not into extreme and simplistic positions, and who are truly Understanding that neither one of our two major political parties and their worldviews are currently able to set forth an economic plan and implement it effectively, that will work in today‘s world. (So of course many Americans are currently feeling a lot of anxiety.)

I hear a generalized anger and frustration across our land, that is not just limited to Tea Party people. And I think what one woman expressed at a town hall meeting recently was well-stated: She had thought Obama had some secret, that he was going to wave a magic wand and it would all be better. In other words, for many of us our hopes were high when Obama was elected—I had hoped the country would become less confrontational and less partisan, where there would be a bipartisan unity of purpose. What has really happened is that currently we are fast approaching midterm elections, where there has been more money spent than ever before in attempts to defeat the opposition, sometimes in increasingly vicious ways.

Throughout my Life, as an encultured spirit-being with a female body organism, I felt varying degrees of impotence. So by no longer using any of my personally constructed previous limitations, and with Jim‘s most recent encouragement, I'm stating as clearly as I can my perspective about the United States of America today. In my opinion, trying to bring back what we as a culture were able to experience in one period of time, in one specific national/global context, is impossible in today‘s world … and is a waste of our current-day national time, attention, and other valuable resources.

Thus far I haven‘t heard anyone with enough cultural stature clearly state: The days of U.S. economic superiority and supremacy, of being Number One, have already been experienced … IT‘S OVER … and now we‘re all amidst a new era. Many of the good-paying industrial jobs with benefits that built much of the American middle class and our Life styles after World War II are gone now, and they won‘t be recovered in terms of the numbers of people and pay scales of earlier years.

What about American workers being competitive with the rest of the world‘s workers? In the first place, look at many other countries‘ pay scales, contrasted with what it takes to monthly pay for our middle class American living standards. This contrast isn‘t just in manufacturing, but includes white-collar jobs, which via the Internet, can be filled by competent workers in other countries at far less costs. What about our advanced U.S. innovative abilities? Other countries have been training their own skilled innovators, scientists, and engineers. And even more significantly, in my opinion other countries are also basing their economic growth and development, their hopes and dreams, upon erroneous and unsustainable assumptions, such as the U.S. has done. I think the global competition race is over because it depends upon the continued exploitation and destruction of this current-day Earth, the Life-support system for all species, including humans.

And what about the influence money is having here on elections? I think the U.S. Supreme Court‘s 5-4 decision in the Citizens United case this past January was a temporary cultural game-changer when it said corporations had the same free-speech rights as ordinary citizens, allowing unlimited campaign spending by corporations and unions. As an aftermath of the ruling, additional organizations have sprung up along with updated past ones, to collect and funnel money from wealthy individuals and businesses who want to control the 2010 election results in state and national races. Well, from my point of view this too is all part of spirit-being people using their personal creativity and power from within the belief-construction matrixes they are amidst. And even though we here in the U.S. are experiencing a barrage of TV ads and postal mailings, I think the current use of huge sums of money will ultimately not work either, because it too is not grounded in the basic reality of this Earth system.

To my way of thinking, even though the past is over it can be used in the present for Understandings of why what has happened has happened. So that‘s mainly the reason I‘m doing the blog postings I‘m doing lately, to add my voice to those of others who are also emphasizing certain versions of common sense and sanity for the present and future.

Postscript. Because Jim and I are senior citizens, we have already voted by absentee ballot. As previously stated, neither one of us think either the Democrats or Republicans have a plan that is realistic for today‘s world; but with the alternatives we had, we both voted a straight Democratic ticket. I voted that way because I think the Democrats will more than likely do less harm than the Republicans would do with their agendas. Jim voted as he did because he doesn‘t feel personally good about supporting the Republican agenda, even though he thinks it may have to be implemented in some ways to show it won‘t work either, opening the door to other ideas and ways of Being. Also, we both voted no to all local mileages, that is to not expand the existing reality and put a stop to the expansion of the existing system, with the exception of voting yes on one fee for recycling. We concluded this was the best we each could do as deeply caring U.S. citizens at this moment in our country‘s ongoing story.

With More Love, J.

What Is Normal?

As Jim heard my increasing passion and concerns about what was happening here in the U.S. culture, the land of my and his births, he began to encourage me to remove any limitations I had been using, letting my wholistic creativity flow even more fully and freely … and he has also removed his own limitations regarding what I might bring into his Life. Therefore, the previous blog posting appeared earlier than I had originally intended, and now there is this one.

In the present and future Jim is choosing to play a part with me where he listens to what I have “produced” when it‘s already completed as a probable blog posting, where he then can make comments. (So far, his responses have been very affirming.) Therefore, he has become co-responsible in terms of setting the contents of these postings forth to the-world-at-large.

All of this has been a recent culminating result of he and I finally being able to co-craft a way of Being together, which we think can work well for both of us at this time in our Lives. As I noted in the chapter “Expanding and Expansions,” from my manuscript Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications, in the past Jim and I had ongoing conflicts centered around his concerns about what might happen with his peaceful Life if I published my manuscript … And his concerns about what my actions might bring into my and his Lives had continued, which I had chosen to do the best I could with, while at the same time honoring what I felt I needed to do to play the part I thought I could and should be playing. Also, he has had many personal interests, without much additional time, which he too felt he needed to pursue, to honor his Life.

Today I See that an energetic logjam has been broken between Jim and I, where each of us has needed to become and Be who/what we each are currently, in order to participate in these recent conversations. I think that with the patterns we each were using, there had been an individual process both of us needed to move within—where finally we are now able to proceed, individually and together. (I also think there were other viable choices each of us could have energized along the way.)

More background for the contents of this essay around Normalcy. One Saturday when I looked ahead at some of the forthcoming scheduled events on television, I saw that Oprah Winfrey had a program the next Wednesday about “Are You Normal?”—where Phil McGraw, Ph.D. and Mehmet Oz, M.D. would be weighing in with their perspectives. Both McGraw and Oz are people I have a lot of respect for, having watched each of them many times on television, along with reading some of their books. Within the context of our current-day culture, I think they both have been and are trying to help people live saner and healthier lives. I was easily Seeing this focus on Normal could be a logical follow-up to my blog posting about Personal Power and its use in various contexts and matrixes.

Because the Oprah program was being broadcast on my birth day when I wouldn‘t be home, I video taped it, which would also give me an opportunity to pause the tape, studying its contents more closely if I wanted to do so when I did see it. And by having many days of lead time before watching it, there would undoubtedly be a number of inner connections made about cultural normalcy, from which valuable perspectives would be arising to my conscious awareness. In fact, the first one that came forth almost immediately was clear and simple: What is normal in a culture is determined by the consensus within it. If I-as-a-spirit-being-human had been born into a culture where other patterns were used for what is normal, then those would be the contextual norms and evaluators I and others would be using.

When I did watch the Oprah tape, the above perspective about cultural norms and what is normal for specific cultures was a great overall way to think. The subtext of the program was—“is what one does in private normal?” While seeing the video tape, I think “I” was simultaneously and to various degrees in inner “homes” I talked about in my previous blog posting: an Experiencer position, a Witness/Observer position, an Evaluator position, and a Selection/Energization position.

For me as an Experiencer, the program was both interesting and entertaining. In the Witness position, I watched it unfold without adding in any of my own thoughts, ideas, or emotions. My takeaway Evaluation and conclusion is that it was a picture of how many people in the United States are using current-day consensus evaluators with which to live their Lives … while at the same time, I am also aware of how many Americans there have been and are, who are using their creative abilities and personal power to find out how far they can push the envelopes of today‘s U.S. cultural norms, assumptions, and agreements. Then as a Selector/Energizer, I had originally decided the day and time to see it. So the whole feedback loop had been in play.

And now as a Selector/Energizer, Much Love and Best Wishes to All, J.

Personal Power Amidst Overall Divinity

Last week—the day I was aligning with a new moon month, crafting a short ceremony by energizing specific personal significances, and six days before my 78th birth day celebration—via land-mail I received a Quality Paperback Book Club catalogue. In it, there were two books of interest to me—one of which was The Power by Rhonda Byrne. (It is a follow-up to her book and DVD, The Secret, I mentioned in my manuscript Within, the chapter titled “Which Brain, Which Mind?”.) Then out of that recent attraction, including ordering the book, an essay for another blog posting has emerged, this time about my experiences and perspectives around personal power amidst a context of overall divinity.

This current essay is following previous blog postings earlier in 2010, one of which described taking a creative leap into a completely different reality. Then after deciding to leap, the first thing I did as a wholistic and composite multidimensional Being was to construct the framework and core patterns for this Completely Different Reality to leap into. My overall composite self currently includes me as an Essential I/spirit-being and body organism with its dimensionality—from which “we” can also thread out our various parts. This new framework was like being in a new country … and of course I could still speak the language and understand the customs of the current-day cultural reality. Other earlier 2010 blog postings included perspectives about unconditional compassion, and liberation.

Back to my adventures through the years with Personal Power. In simplified terms, I agree with those who have said and say we create our lives, with every thought every minute of the day. And at the same time, what I now Understand is that so much of what an individual thinks, does, and experiences depends upon who/what she or he believes themselves to Be, what other beliefs they are primarily using, the matrixes they are within as experiencers, their jobs, family structures, and the other relationships they already have. For me, it‘s been a very long journey to blend all the pieces together as harmoniously as possible in my Life.

Now to square one. The worldview I am using today is one that has emerged from large-scale focuses on—What are the basics of our Earth system and the overall divinity we are amidst? … What are our human primal processes? … and getting as close as I can to how it all works. My starting point is that I Am. I am what? For me, in the beginning there is no “what,” it‘s simply, I Am. I have had experiences where I didn’t have a body or thoughts, where “I” was in a place of pure being, direct knowing, and Oneness, directly knowing myself as essence, which I later called the “Essential I.“ Furthermore, I believe each of us has a basic Being structure of a similar sort, and it is up to each individual to recognize and identify with it. That is, to literally choose to become a different person than the who/what we were culturally conditioned to Be.

How I Understand my process today is that as an EI (Essential I), I selected and energized choices, which began my participation within environments that included subtle forms, light, sound, and relationships, where I became a spirit-being with conscious awareness. Since I have almost exclusively confined my decades of explorations to this basic Earth system amidst overall divinity, what I now will describe is within that context and does not necessarily apply to other systems, where I believe there are different fundamental agreements than those that are basic to this system.

So the story that makes the most sense to me today is one where as an EI/spirit-being, I selected this Earth system out of a multitude of probabilities I could choose from, because of its experiential possibilities … and somehow there were agreements made between me and my parents within deeper dimensions of our Beings. I also think that my birth daughter Kim and I made preliminary agreements, as did Jim and I—all at these deeper dimensions of our selves. Moreover, how I think it all works basically is that even though agreements are made, there is always flexible free will by all the participants during their Life processes. That is, there are probabilities and possibilities, but nothing is fixed unless an individual energizes those patterns.

I still think the best way for me to think is that what has been taking place here on this version of our Earth system for thousands of years has been a collaborative spirit-being experiment, with the results recorded in what we call history and archeology—peace among people, commerce and trade, wars and killings, famine and abundant food, inventions, explorations, exploitations, conquerers and conquered, rich and poor … and relationships of various kinds with fellow Earth species, the Earth itself, and overall divinity.

I see the past as a rich mix of contrasts, as a large and moving tapestry—which brings me to the present. Yes, I continue to believe our current-day human cultures have been built upon an unsustainable environmental and economic foundation that is obviously playing out in our Life times to their logical and inevitable conclusions. And I also think none of us spirit-being humans with body organisms is stuck, like having to pay some ghastly price for our actions or non-actions.

The version of Me I usually energize today is a composite multidimentional Being, including an intelligent and empowered body organism. And I have well-established locales in my psychic structure: I now have inner “homes” I can move to in a Witness/Observer position, in a Selection/Energization position, and in an Evaluator position. “I” can Be in one of these inner locales, or even in all of them simultaneously—in addition to being an experiencer in a Physical Result position. This is what I call the basic feedback loop that is part of our original probable equipment we spirit-being humans with body organisms can use. So this is my version of how to fluidly and effectively use the feedback loop, where one can experientially Understand the results of his or her personal power energizations, with ongoing opportunities to redesign.

I am convinced there are other probable Earths, including a fully healthy one, that are part of our basic Earth system, which we humans can figure out how to consciously bring forth into manifestation—and that‘s a lot of my current-day explorations. Repeating what I wrote in the conclusion of my previous blog posting, I See a wholer, fuller freedom as Liberation from one‘s culturally conditioned mind. To achieve that Liberation, I think an individual needs to become aware of their operating patterns for Life, have a strong desire to change them, figure out how to be effective with their removal, and be skillful enough to construct entirely new ones that are not just retreads of one‘s own or other available cultural constructions. From my point of view, this is a formula for An Expanded Personal Power, which can be an interesting framework to use for playing with one‘s Life.

Freedom

Hello Autumn—with its pumpkins, apples, squash, chrysanthemums, asters, cooler temperatures, and colorful falling leaves … And yet another blog posting for 2010.

After listening to Jonathan Franzen, author of the novel Freedom, being interviewed by Terry Gross on the NPR program Fresh Air, along with reading previous reviews of the book, there have been inner stirrings and motivations to express some of my current worldview and perspectives. This inward flame has been further fueled by the outcries I‘ve been hearing during the past few months in the U.S. about our individual rights and freedoms here. And in addition to all that, Oprah Winfrey has chosen Freedom as her recent book club selection.

What is freedom? For me, this question has been like a big energy container I have dived into and explored from various positions and matrixes throughout my Life. And as I See my numerous freedom explorations today, each one was a co-creative dance between the Me I was Being at the time, the cultural context I was amidst, and the matrix of designs I dove into. (As I am using the term, a matrix is an enclosed composite of patterns an individual has energized in relationship with other spirit-being humans, from which events and experiences emerge.)

Currently, some of my conclusions about freedom are:

* Culturally-speaking freedom is relative, usually contrasted with one‘s own

potentially uncomfortable limitations,

or with others‘ shackled lives and experiences.

* Also culturally-speaking, what is said to be freedom is contextual,

within a culturally agreed upon matrix of designs for a time and place.

* Some people I have known have used the concept of freedom to mean

primarily doing what they want to do, when they want to do it. (“Don‘t fence me in.”)

And from where I am now, I See a wholer, fuller freedom as Liberation from one‘s culturally conditioned mind. To achieve that Liberation, I think an individual needs to become aware of their operating patterns for Life, have a strong desire to change them, figure out how to be effective with their removal, and be skillful enough to construct entirely new ones that are not just retreads of one‘s own or other available cultural constructions. From my point of view, this is a formula for An Expanded Personal Power, which can be an interesting framework to use for playing with one‘s Life.

With Love and Best Wishes, J

Pictures and Perspectives from A Completely Different Reality

First off this new blog posting is a surprise, arising from deeper dimensions, when at conscious awareness levels I had no intention of writing any more blogs this year.

So, what makes where I am a completely different reality? It‘s a combination of who/what I am now, the reality I am amidst as a composite Being, what I‘m energizing freshly each day as pattern-forms to experience, and what are no longer part of my experiences. “I” am now truly free from all ongoing cultural patterns that I incorporated in the past (and thought I had to use), where daily I stand back and energize afresh. This also includes freedom from ongoing attachments to designs of Love and all its probable ingredients. Moreover, Jim and I are each energizing new and fresh patterns daily for our relationship, seeing it as a wonderful playing field for individual creative opportunities.

The “Me” I primarily wrote about in the book, God‘s River of Love, published in 2003, was focused around the essence of myself as a spirit-being human, the worldview I was using in those days, and being the experiencer of events. In my manuscript, Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications, “I” had expanded to include my body organism as its own intelligent entity too, even more clearly understanding “symptoms” as part of its language. Today, the Me that is amidst this completely different reality is a composite multidimensional Being that includes me as an Essential I/spirit-being, our multilayered body organism, and the connections We make, both invisibly and visibly, amidst our overall environment of divinity. Then as a composite Being, I use my conscious awareness purposely, in various ways in various directions. Hence, these writings are coming forth from a harmonious alignment by all aspects of “Us” as co-writers.

Since so many of the energy vehicles I used for decades for expansion have accomplished their purposes, those challenging types of situations are no longer needed. As a composite multidimensional Being I have arrived at a dimension I can now comfortably, easily, and enthusiastically explore. It‘s an unknown territory, but not an unknowable one.

A few weeks ago, as a composite Being we imaginatively stripped out all the cultural emotions from past events, put them together into a form, thanked them for the experiences, and sent them off to be used in other ways. They too were glad to be liberated. This process cleared our psyche of them, where new emotions have been coming forth from our completely different reality environment. What has emerged so far are emotions of a glow and increased brightness around everything at times, more emotional space, a sense of well-being and overall satisfaction, clearer excitement, and feelings of expansiveness.

And, when Jim and I focused as realistically as we could on Understanding the position and perspective of someone we know, concluding he was really in a tough place financially, the concept of Unconditional Compassion arose to my conscious awareness. Recently, I had been searching for a way to think about some of the emotions I‘d been experiencing that were related to so many people and situations—and when the Unconditional Compassion framework arose, I knew it was perfect.

As I‘ve reflected, I think Unconditional Compassion is a lot of what the Buddha Realized under the Bodhi tree: He Saw humans suffering in their lives through their identifications and uses of their cultural programming, and he also Saw ways to identify oneself differently and live more fulfilling lives, which he went forth to tell others they could do. In other words, the Buddha‘s emphases upon Compassion and Loving-Kindness weren‘t predicated upon a select few, their choices and their lives, but was a way of thinking and Being with everyone.

Over the past months, while playing in this new reality I‘ve also continued to be aware of major ongoing local, regional, state, national, and global events—especially their connectedness. Additionally, I‘ve been keeping up-to-date with what some spiritual and religious leaders have been saying. And from these focuses, the following have emerged as perspectives and pictures:

As the human species, I think we have taken many of what I have termed the trouble-making designs that I discussed in earlier blog postings to their logical conclusions, one of which is opposites and oppositions. What‘s new is that in our current-day world there seems to be little room or appetite for moderates and bridge-builders, who are seen by some people to be ineffective wimps. That is, you are pressured to be strongly for one side or for the other one—where there is a winner and a loser. An area I‘m seeing this play out nationally is in terms of severe partisan politics here in the United States.

Then there has been the issue of a proposed Islamic multicultural center and mosque two-and-a-half blocks from the 9/11 Ground Zero site in New York City. The iman who has been proposing this is considered by many to be a moderate, bridge-building Muslim from the Sufi tradition of Islam. But this issue has brought to the forefront many Americans‘ fears about the Islamic religion overall, and about those who have used it to justify their destruction objectives and actions.

Looking at some of our U.S. history, in World War II we Americans had Japanese and German enemies we needed to defeat. After that there were the Cold War struggles with the U.S.S.R. and global Communism. And after 9/11/01, there has been growing opposition here in the U.S. to Muslims.

Now I believe that when individuals and groups energize patterns of opposites and opposition as part of their worldviews, they need others on their stages to oppose. Do I see another answer? Yes, I do. The first step is to consciously choose to effectively remove the whole design of opposites and oppositions from one‘s operating patterns. I‘m proposing that individuals choose to stand back from it all and go way beyond choices of being for, against, somewhere in the middle, or non involved … and also beyond dissent or protest. I continue to see we spirit-being humans collaborating with a many thousand year experiment, which is obviously coming to a conclusion … because just as obviously there are no good answers now if we continue to use our current-day matrixes and ways of thinking that got us to where we are today.

Moving to another subject. Reading what some current-day spiritual leaders are saying, I am seeing/hearing a major focus upon Being in a Witness position, which certainly can bring forth a distance from one‘s thoughts and experiences, such as I am proposing. And in my opinion, this is a very valuable position to establish and play with in one‘s psychic structure. Nonetheless, I think this basic reality system we are all amidst is designed to be a feedback loop, where each of us has choices and literally creates pattern forms we energize and then experience. So along with the Witness position and Experiencer mode, there‘s also a Selective Creative position, and an Evaluative one—all important elements of the feedback loop. I think part of the game-of-Life is that we have to energize and use patterns … so the question is—which ones? Are we humans going to go beyond cultural choices to create some truly different choices, with truly different results?

Furthermore, “Our” body organism thinks most current-day spiritual systems still aren‘t giving enough credit to the basic designs of our human mental/emotional/physical/spiritual bodies. This is a lead-in to talking about our body organism‘s central role now as the primary decider/chooser in our composite multidimensional Life.

From our body organism‘s point of view it has taken a lot of effort, steadiness, and consistency for it to have the kind of freedom it has wanted to have, to be able to explore and find out what it can be and become, without cultural limitations. It has had to fully liberate itself from patterns I-as-a-spirit-being human had used with it for my agenda, from Jim‘s designs for his Life, and from his and my interactions together that were part of the cultural matrixes of the times. And now it sees itself as fully empowered, sometimes feeling giddy with its opportunities. Its current focus is on emotional satisfaction, both as its starting point, as connectors, and then as evaluators. It is also emphasizing easy and effective results.

For Jim and I, the spring and summer seasons have been wonderful, individually and together. The designs we each set forth for our relationship liberation have worked well, thus far, for both of us. Jim has continued with his golf focuses, still and video photography, music studies, and outdoor activities, along with continuing to activate the changes he chooses to make. And I have become totally clear, including the specifics, that as an experiencer I have always been the originator of patterns which brought forth connections, co-creativity, and then the experienced events.

During the past months there have been many delightful duck dramas on Harmony Hill, and a new fox is in our lives. We think it‘s probably a female because of its size. Whatever its gender, I‘m calling it Beauty. One day in later August, hundreds of blackbirds flew, flowed, and swirled repeatedly throughout the surrounding areas. What an event! And soon, Jim will be making another compost pile, this time with 21 bales of alfalfa hay, to over-winter; and we‘ll be integrating new grass seed into our front yard—all of which are opportunities for celebrating Life, the natural world, and the changing seasons.

That‘s it for now. With Fresh Love and Best Wishes. J

A Completely Different Reality

The overall past winter season was enjoyable and expanding for both Jim and I. As I mentioned in my previous blog posting, we bought Bowflex exercise machines, one for each of our body sizes, for an at-home gym in our basement. And, throughout the snowy months Jim made a lot of progress with his almost daily music studies. Along with replacing his electronic keyboard with an electronic piano, he is also having his guitar from the 1970s repaired, to add to his choices. In recent days he has begun video-photographing the forthcoming natural world year, and he‘s eagerly anticipating the golf season. The delightful still photograph of a squirrel eating fresh greens on our website‘s “Jacquie‘s Blog” page was taken by Jim a few days ago, after 50° temperatures had melted the snow cover. Another view of the same squirrel is on the website‘s “Jim‘s Blog” page.

One of my winter focuses had been to tie together in the present all the pieces of Buddhist studies I‘d done for decades, using a Teaching Company‘s DVD course about Buddhism (24 lessons, 30 minutes each, with an accompanying booklet). It was great! Along the way, I was again impacted with how many Buddhist patterns I had personally adapted, which I have energized and used in my daily Life for decades, along with many others such as Jesus‘ teachings about Love, that our existence extends beyond this Life, and to go within for divine guidance.

Around mid January, I was inwardly hearing divine guidance telling me to take a creative leap! That advice is what I had inwardly heard repeatedly in 1966 before my first marriage dissolved, but this time I would be taking a leap as a completely different self—a fully Liberated one—in a completely different matrix, on a completely different wavelength, into a completely different reality system I could trust. What fun! From my point of view, over the years I‘ve learned a lot, and now I am choosing to easily and effectively apply even more of what I‘ve learned.

After deciding to leap, one of the first things I did as a holistic and composite multidimensional Being, was to construct the framework and core patterns for this Completely Different Reality to leap into. My overall holistic self includes me as an Essential I/spirit-being with a body organism and multidimensional dimensions—from which “we” can also thread out our various parts. This new framework is like being in a new country … and of course I can still speak the language and understand the customs of the current-day cultural reality.

Moreover, in mid January, as a holistic Being I had been reading a biography about a woman whose achievements I admire … and later that month after completing the book, in an email to my daughter, who also admires her, I said in effect that I too as a designer was setting forth a hand-crafted framework with core belief patterns, such as she (the admired woman) did and does. A difference, as I see it between she and me, is that within the reality I am in now, I don't need to have energy for any oppositional counter-force to what others are setting forth. My version of equality is that each of us is free to use our personal point of power in whatever way we choose > so that natural energy connections are then made, and not made. Another difference is that I‘m not trying to change the world, as she says she is trying to do. Instead, I‘m setting forth ideas, a model, and well-crafted belief structure forms that anyone else can adapt and explore, if he or she chooses to do so, in her or his own way (which of course could change the world).

Beginning earlier last January I had been spending large amounts of many mornings reading some of Serge Kahili King‘s writings, and playing with his suggested mental/imaginative activities. Serge is a Hawaiian shaman and also a Western world Ph.D. His is an adventurer-type shamanic process, called Huna, as contrasted with so many warrior shamanic matrixes. (Reflectively-speaking, all my Life I‘ve been on a trajectory of explorations—and have also been on an adventure in terms of more wholeness.) One of Serge‘s central emphases is easiest and enjoyable effectiveness, which is currently one of mine. Previously, off and on throughout the years I had mentally studied shamanism because I think shamans in general know how to use very practical procedures for energy transformations. But now, as a holistic Being I was in a purposeful application stage, to discover what I could easily do without cultural limitations.

More of my winter choices. From the time of Barach Obama‘s stirring election as President of the United States of America in November 2008, I again became increasingly involved in closely following national and global events. Even though I thought our U.S. culture was environmentally and economically built upon an unsustainable, shifting sands foundation, I had also been energizing hope that the Obama Administration would somehow put together something that would unite us as individuals and as a nation in a common cause. And, my previous blog postings were part of my contributions to ongoing developments.

Then as more local, state, national, and global cultural events continued to emerge in the early months of 2010, they too added fuel to the fire of my purposeful creative leap into a completely different reality. As I see it, the recent national economic crisis has brought to the surface here in the United States many worldviews that were usually more subdued and quieter during prosperous times. Today, numbers of people who never spoke out before are voicing their anger, frustration, indignation, and fears about their jobs, homes, the fabric of the American way of life—and the future.

The answers I am reading and hearing for today‘s U.S. national problems are varied—going from full-fledged government designs that hopefully weave many of the elements together into a successful economic recovery, to those who are demanding more fiscal federal responsibility, lower taxes, a smaller federal government, states‘ rights, and a more aggressive national security policy. Therefore, a big debate is taking place nationally around what the role of the U.S. federal government should be and how much power it should have, versus how much power individuals and businesses should have, without most government controls and interferences.

My perspective at this time is that even if someone or groups of people were clever and smart enough to blend many of the various ideas being expressed into cohesive overall policies, would this be successful in today‘s world? I don‘t think so. What I think has happened is that “we the people of the United States of America” have taken the individual and group designs from the beginning of our nation‘s development to many of their logical conclusions, where we are now experiencing the accumulated and combined results, directly.

A major problem today, as I see it, is that as individual spirit-being humans we are primarily stuck as experiencers of results, instead of using our lives as a creative feedback system. I think we‘re immersed in the results of designs about a random universe, survival of the fittest competition, cultural gender identities, national identities, species identities, racial identities, fear, cultural power, and on and on. The closest I‘ve been able to come to how I think it all works is that as spirit-being humans our lives are basically meant to be lived as purposeful designers of energy forms, where the results are then part of a natural feedback system, giving each of us the opportunity to clearly experience and see what happens with our individual and group originations.

One of the pictures of the United States Jim and I are seeing today, is that it has become a decayed and decaying industrialized nation, (not a third world country), including delayed maintenance for roads, highways, bridges, sewer pipes, water pipes, etc. Consequently, many billions of dollars would be required to even take care of deferred infrastructure maintenance. And then there are all the other problematic situations we have in motion nationally.

Said with much compassion for people‘s suffering and pain, I don‘t see any real answers coming from our current-day culture, or current-day leaders, no matter how hard they are trying. So, my decision to Be in a personally-crafted, completely different reality system feels like the sanest and healthiest thing I can do within this new and fresh natural world year that begins today, March 20th, 2010. As a multidimensional composite Being, I feel I have done the very best I can do to present another way of thinking and living—and now it‘s time to move on. This is the year for my basic body organism to be able to play and explore to its heart‘s content. And, more than likely I‘ll continue to be aware of some local, state, national, and global events.

For Jim and I, this “Completely Different Reality” means we have a fully open system to choose, energize, and manifest on a daily basis, without any ongoing patterns from the past. We are both skilled enough now to be able to freshly construct in the present. For decades, Jim and I have been energizing processes for individual and dyadic transformations and liberation, and then experiencing their results. Today before lunch, we had a ceremony outside to celebrate this new year.

Since I‘ve been inwardly hearing, “It‘s a wrap,” this blog posting may be the culmination for me of God‘s River of Love, Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications, and all my other blog postings. (I‘ll still be available to be contacted by gmail.) I‘ve recently dissolved plans I had for any more studies such as going back into the U.S. historical past and threading out the earlier patterns which have evolved and grown to the present, and also going back into the Abrahamic religions—all of which are materials I‘ll be moving downstairs into a file cabinet Jim freed up and removed from his upstairs room when he brought in the new electronic piano. The materials will be there if someone is interested in any of them, but as far as I know now, it won‘t be me who does the research.

As a fellow spirit-being human, you may want to read or reread the Introduction from my manuscript, Within the River of Love, Translations and Applications, on our connected website, and the Dyadic Biography at the end of the manuscript. Together, I think they give a valuable summary of some of the “trip” Jim and I have been on.

For the past decades, with increasing awarenesses I‘ve been realizing how truly vast individuality is basically. And so I am using my imaginative powers to See each of us spirit-being humans as equivalent-sized, pulsating globes of light in an Age of Individual Creativity, Health, and Oneness.

With Best Wishes to All and Namasté, J
