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
