Empowered Spirit-Being People

The clearest picture I have thus far for one aspect of “how it all works,” is that spirit-being humans can become so connected and identified with their own pattern originations, when there is a spirit-being parting from their physical body organisms, they are still enmeshed and encoded with those same patterns. So by not successfully extracting the essence of themselves, the spirit-bring quite possibly lives other lives within similar design matrixes. I also think there are spirit-beings who have consciously wanted to keep having similar experiences in other lives and locales.

In the later 1970s, while living in the Sierra Nevada mountain foothills in northern California, when I was in a crisis about my father‘s forthcoming passing on, I played a lot with different ways of thinking—and their results. On many occasions I would temporarily set aside my own identity and thought processes, and purposely energize another set of patterns with which to see and experience my environment. Then I would extract the essence of myself from my body organism, placing “Me” in back of my body, identifying with myself as the essence of Me that was the energy pattern originator. After that I would take a walk in the surrounding woods, seeing and experiencing the world through that different lens. When I came back home I would rejoin with my body, assume my usual identity and thought patterns, afterwards writing about the specific designs I had instigated and what had happened

From today‘s perspective, it was a great way to begin to really Liberate and untangle the various components of Me-as-a-wholistic-Beingand to experientially Understand the processes I naturally use to energize designs of all kinds.

Then in the early 1980s when Jim and I were taking a tour through history, Jim was convinced he had lived other lives in other times. From my point of view, I thought I certainly made natural energy connections with others in the past and present, from my emphases as Jacquie, but it didn‘t feel right for me to go beyond that. A few weeks ago a speculation arose to my conscious awareness: Does how some people in today‘s world think about living other historical lives, primarily apply to the experiment?

Over the years, my Understandings about how one‘s gender role as a cultural female or male can be a large entrapment in terms of one‘s identity and identifications as a spirit-veing human, has increased considerably. This includes the emotional tones that have become familiar experiences in one‘s Life. Also, I‘ve been increasingly aware that our official cultural agreements about the significance of objective/scientific reality, a type of logos that doesn‘t include a person‘s inner subjective aspects, can become a major entrapment.

Recently, during “Our” explorations of The Tree of Life, our body organism is very clear that in its natural state, the escalating emotional intensities in today‘s world are usually too much for it! When in their presence at televised sports events and many other entertainment venues, it tenses up to protect itself. And I have Realized that in the past, as a spirit-being human within a cultural context, I too thought I needed to set forth a lot of energy in order to be safe-enough and to even have a desirable place amidst it. Again, this is being said with great Appreciation for the experiential contrasts I have had as a participant in the cultural processes.

Today … the story that wholistically makes the most sense to Me is one where I imaginatively See a big spirit-being gathering of those who were choosing to collaborate and participate, in preparation for the experiment in separations from the basics—that would unfold for thousands of years. At the preliminary spirit-being meeting, various forthcoming participants were choosing various parts. During the process, I said I wanted to come into the whole experiment just once, near the end. I wanted to play a part where I showed how one could become culturally programmed, and then successfully disentangle oneself from one‘s patterns and body organism—returning home as a portion of unfettered divine Love and Oneness, while still amidst the natural world as a spirit-being human. (I especially enjoy this picture because it gives each of us spirit-being humans a more original horizontal playing field.)

A major Realization that has been becoming even clearer recently, is that as a spirit-being person, I‘ve been exploring divine Love all my Life, including how it has been culturally translated during the experiment. In the present, it‘s like I‘m back home as a portion of unfettered divine Love and Oneness, with all the digested experiences, Understandings, and their applications so far … along with a wonderful companion and fellow-traveler for the past 41-years—Jim.

I‘m also very clear that experiences from using current-day cultural individuality positions and perspectives are very different from experiences amidst the dimension of basic unfettered divine Love and Oneness, as an individualized portion of it all.

To repeat, as I See what‘s happening in our world-of-today, I think we‘re all close to the experiment‘s conclusion, where we each can directly apply what we‘ve learned in our Lives … now. And so, as a wholistic composite Being that includes our Body Organism, our choice is to continue applying what “we” have already learned, along with our further explorations and adventures in 2012 … amidst The Tree of Life.

Money


During the past few months, while following the developments of cultural events, I have accumulated a fat file about “Money.“ This is a folder I didn‘t take to the basement recently from studies of the past, because it is so actively current—and globally volatile! Overall, I think the money picture is very entwined and complex!


Translating what I‘ve learned about the complementary nature of logos and mythos to money, I think in logical terms money is a factual medium for transactions: I give you so much money for what you are selling—goods and/or services—money that you can use as you choose. Then symbolically/mythologically-speaking, in addition to direct buying power, money can give a person potential prestige and esteem in other people‘s eyes.


Moreover, there is the very practical reality here in the United States and in other places around the world—that it is necessary to have enough money to support oneself as an individual and as a family. In the U.S. and elsewhere, people are saying, “We need and want jobs!” (hopefully jobs that pay enough). But again, I See all this within the context of a disintegrating spirit-being experiment—of separations from Oneness, from unfettered Love—and from the natural world itself, which has resulted in large-scale environmental problems.


Personally-speaking, in addition to our own endeavors, as only children Jim and I both inherited enough money when our parents passed on, to be able to live comfortable and modest lives, debt-free. But we too are part of the demise of “the experiment.” Even though Jim has a lot if experiential background in the area of finance, we have never been invested in the stock market. Instead, we have been putting our money into bank CDs, primarily because we wanted it to be as safe as possible, and for many years we both wanted to use the majority of our time and attention amongst other Life choices. Also, neither one of us wanted to put forth the efforts to achieve the life-style and the potential symbolic prestige that money can give one culturally.

For decades, we both have been mindful of who and what our money supports. In the present, our checking account and bank CDs are “all in” a regional bank, that wasn‘t involved with federal TARP funds. But, in many ways Jim and I are like other Americans today, people who live primarily on our social security checks for our monthly expenses.


How does all this relate with my integrated Being‘s explorations with The Tree of Life in 2012? That will be part of our forthcoming discoveries and adventures.......

All In

One day—after weeks of studying and being emersed in paganism and the various mystery religions around the Mediterranean, including many people‘s Understandings in those days about the importance of both logos (cultural logical thinking) and mythos (what‘s behind the scenes), and their complementary natureall before Jesus‘ appearance … and then the subsequent developments of both “official” Christianity and Gnosticism—I drew a schematic picture for clarity. This had been a big study, amidst my multiple culmination processes of the past year, where I needed to stand back from the whole thing. It was four days before I blog-posted “The Tree of Life in 2012” on 1/1/12.


At the top of the page for my schematic depiction I started with Divine Love and Oneness—where each of us is an individualized portion of it (our Essential I). Then on the left side of the page I showed the eating of fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the biblical Garden of Eden story. Next, moving down the left side of the page came oppositional duality—good and evil, and on and on. After that, going further down the page, I showed the enormous interwoven complexity that has developed and evolved throughout the centuries from that first spirit-being collaborative emphasis of oppositional duality (along with other Troublemakers), to the present.


Moreover, by that time, four days before the heralded 2012 year began, I was already clear that it wasn‘t just oppositional duality that was one of the main problem-causers for we as the human species … it was duality itself! So near the top of my schematic picture, under Divine Love and Oneness—where each of us uses its attributes with our choices of patterns, I placed duality itself above oppositional dualism on the left side of the page.


What I believe now is that there is no fundamental duality … what there is basically are contrasts of time/space movements such as night and day, up and down, in and out— and interconnected relationships such as spirit and matter.


Then on the right hand side of the schematic picture I placed The Tree of Life—Oneness and unfettered divine Love—with basic characteristics such as easy/effortless; full health; transformation processes; joy; unified and integrated wholeness; safety; full potency; and full responsibility.


When I Saw the whole picture, it was clear that to continue with any more studies and Understandings about the past, such as I had been doing, was foolish. So I began to move more upstairs materials of books and folders from studies I‘d done over the years, to the basement. It was time to be even more wholistically aligned with the basics of divinity and the natural world, as I Understand them today. And of course by being more “all in” as a fully integrated composite Being this way, our body organism now has more of the opportunities it has wanted to have, to find out what it can Be, Become, and Do. And as a spirit-being human, who doesn‘t need to use cultural designs and ways of thinking so often, I can find out more of what I can Be, Become, and Do, too.


As I See it today, each of us as a spirit-being human has played our part and parts in the collaborative spirit-being duality experiment, and now it‘s rime to translate and apply what we‘ve learned. So no matter what ethnicity, background, or station in life a person has had and has achieved, in some ways it isn‘t really that relevant any longer. From my point of view, “the experiment” is about over and each of us has played the part or parts we individually chose originally. What does matter is what each of us does from now on—daily and moment-by-moment, with our experiences and what we‘ve learned … which actually can level the playing field a lot more in 2012.

The Tree of Life in 2012

Now that we as the human species have played out our cultural experiments for the past thousands of years—separating ourselves from other natural world species members, from our fellow humans, and from a direct relationship with the Oneness of divinity—with the experiential Understandings we have currently, I think each of us can individually and also collaboratively explore The Tree of Life.


To me, the Garden of Eden story in the Bible‘s Old Testament—Eve and Adam choosing to eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—is a symbolic representation of the human species deciding to use oppositional dualism, etc.—and go forth with its separation experiments. And now, with the help of modern technology, we are all able to See the results that have played out in global physical terms over the centuries. I also think that “the experiment” was important and valuable.


What I Understand as an integrated, wholistic Being, is that “In the beginning is divine Love. Divine Love is the starting point. From it, forms are manifested in this reality system, and it connects all Life.” That is what I heard repeatedly one night from a very deep dimension of my Being, during dreams and associated awake moments. Then that same night, from a closer dimension to physicalness, I Realized that as individualized portions of divine Love—of Oneness—each of us uses its attributes to energize patterns and designs that become our personal contributions to the overall play, bringing about our share of connections and events.


I think that one of a myriad number of misinterpretations about Oneness in our culture today is to say that I am you and you are me. I think this doesn‘t account for the various levels and dimensions of each of us as wholistic Beings, nor does it give each of us the wholistic potency and responsibility for our individual choices, no matter what dimension we are in. Capabilities I have played with as the essence of myself are such that “I” can temporarily merge with another Being‘s focuses, either purposely or semi-automatically—but I am still fundamentally Me doing so—and then the connections naturally recede when one lives Life as a process and moves on.


As I experientially Understand it now, there are two major consciousness forms that are part of our human personhoods:

* One is our overall basic body consciousness, made up of the whole divinely and intelligently crafted body organism‘s natural processes amidst the basic natural world—all within a vast network of connections and probabilities.

* The second consciousness is that which each of us primarily identifies with and experiences. It includes our cultural gender trainings and some cultural designs of “how it all works.” And of course the contents of this consciousness can be changed and transformed with different perspectives and patterns.


In current-day terms, I think the two consciousness forms and their interactions are being expressed as the mind-body connection.


In later December 2011, the very day I word-processed a larger-picture story of events in my Life for the file folder, “New Songs, New Stories,” Jim composed the melody for his first musical composition. He had been hearing variations of it oftentimes inwardly, and he was finally ready to play it and put it down on paper in note form. When I heard it, as a wholistic Being I thought it was exquisite! So there we were on the same day, with a new story and a new song, from amidst a new framework!


Inwardly, I have been Seeing the symbolic picture I painted early in 2011, representing a potted and growing plant of safety and peace, as part of The Tree of Life, too. As I wrote earlier, I am now a Being who is comfortably energizing divine safety along with peace for myself and others—part of my contributions to the overall current-day spirit-human events. I‘ve Realized that I can truly create a personal core that is fluid and integrous, without needing protections. Yes, I am continuing to play my part as best I can, while also horizontally valuing others for their worldviews.


I think a good perspective to use about Life is to see our human choices during “the experiment” as if we have been using just one radio station among many options, or tuning to just one television channel, among many other options. Both Jim and I have been and are wholistically exploring other stations and channels that are also connected to this basic reality system.


From my point of view The Tree of Life is a mythic symbol, an internal psychic energy form used by many groups of people throughout our shared human history … of course filled with different ingredients depending upon the time and place. I think a psychic and biological emphasis such as The Tree of Life can be a potent energy-filled centrality in today‘s world, that invisibly and inwardly flows, naturally connecting with like-minded energies.


And now, with our individual and collaborative emphases, Jim and I and our body organisms will be discovering how The Tree of Life manifests for each of us—and how we each inter-relate with it in 2012, when there will be more fresh New Songs and New Stories.


With Unfettered Divine Love, J.
