"In the present physical area in which it seems to you that a physical civilization once existed, that civilization still exists. You cannot meet it though you stand at the same spot, because of the ideas of time that separate you. The civilization in flower, and the ruins, coexist. The living ancient Sumerians pass the modern tourists without seeing them, even as the tourists walk in the middle of the old Sumerian marked places and see only ruins."

"Now; you are seeking a method to be controlling probabilities that have not been created. Probabilities are created in the moment. They do not lie before you and you choose from them as though you were choosing one card from a complete deck of playing cards. This is not the manner in which probabilities are expressed. Probabilities are created in the moment. Now; we may express identifications of potentials in association with what you or any other individual may be expressing now. But recognize that these are merely potentials, for every moment incorporates the opportunity for change and every moment incorporates choice. Therefore, there is a considerable variable in which it is unrealistic to be speculating in relation to future. Now; you may be paying attention to what you are incorporating, what you are doing now. As you become more clearly objectively aware of how you project energy now, you offer yourself your point of power, for you offer yourself the recognition of your ability to change choices and directions intentionally within the now. For in actuality, the future is merely an illusion, and what is generated in what you term to be the future is created now."

" It also allows you to recognize whether you are cooperating with yourself. Remember, cooperation is NOT teamwork! Cooperation is NOT what other individuals can do to acquiesce to you. Cooperation is what YOU can choose to do to allow yourself to continue in your own direction and to continue with your own guidelines, uninterrupted by other individuals' choices or expressions or behaviors, and not expecting other individuals to change what they express. If you generate different choices in cooperation with yourself, not opposing yourself, it is not necessary for other individuals to change any_expression."

" As to motivation also, this is another factor. For in association with shifting and discovering or identifying truths, your movement is changing. What you are familiar with, what you are accustomed to is goals. You set a goal, you set an ideal, you focus upon a wanted outcome and that is the focal point, and that motivates you to accomplish achieving that goal or that outcome. What is shifting in perception and being misinterpreted as a lack of motivation with many individuals is the unfamiliarity of generating more importance in relation to the process than the outcome. In paying attention to the process, which is associated with what your desire is — to be more aware of yourselves and intentionally creating what you want — the outcome becomes unknown. Therefore, the process becomes ultimately important. For you may engage an idea of what you want, but what you genuinely want is to be generating the awareness to create your reality intentionally entirely in association with what you want — THAT is the genuine desire."

My life is its own definition.

So is yours.

Let us leave the priests

to their hells and heavens,

and confine

the scientists

to their dying universe,

with its

accidentally created stars.

Let us each dare

to open our dream's door,

and explore

the unofficial thresholds,

where we begin.

What magicians we all are,

turning darkness into light,

transforming invisible atoms

into the dazzling theater

of the world,

pulling objects,

(people as well as rabbits)

out of secret

microscopic closets,

turning winter into summer,

making a palmful of moments

disappear through time's trap door.

We learned the methods

so long ago

that they're unconscious,

and we've hypnotized ourselves

into believing

that we're the audience,

so I wonder where we served

our apprenticeship.

Under what master magicians did we learn

to form reality

so smoothly that we forgot to tell ourselves

the secret?

“Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.”

"When you decide that you want to feel good, and you reach for the vibration that feels good to you and you establish that as your Tone, either the people around you will be uplifted to join you in that vibration or, if their vibration is already very well chosen otherwise, they will clatter right out of your experience. But what happens to most of you is, while they are clattering right out of your experience, you notice they are clattering. You begin to clatter too, and then they clatter right back into your experience, and you clatter together miserably and continually"

"Just as there are many structures in your world, pyramids for example, that exist on your planet but remain from your sight, hidden for the simple fact that the masses' belief structure is, as of yet, unable to accommodate certain of the creations found on your planet. When there is sufficient subjective prodding, subjective feeling and nurturing, then these elements make themselves visible when there is sufficient wisdom and knowledge to then use those elements properly, and not destroy them."

"UFOs and Alien Visitors: Invasion or Fantasy?

The visual and aural experiences of those receiving "visitors" will be their interpretation of essentially nonphysical material. Visitations are not intrusions of actual physical beings but psychological intrusions, interpreted by your senses as physical manifestations. The "beings" seen and heard are psychological projections from probable earths, oozing through the now-permeable barrier between probable realities.
Because you automatically assume, or your brain is conditioned to assume, that the highest form of life is man, you will automatically imbue such creatures with humanoid characteristics such as arms, legs, heads, etc. Yet the psychological structures involved are so radically and impossibly different from your own that the brain cannot fully mask them as human, cannot hallucinate these beings into appearing completely human. The brain goes as far as it can in interpreting these beings along the lines of its neuronal structures, but at some point this breaks down for these are indeed beings - psychological beings - so utterly foreign to your experience that the brain is unequipped to experience them in their true form. As in a dream, the brain squashes essentially nonphysical material down into symbol as a way of making it palatable, or understandable, to the everyday waking consciousness.
In deepest terms, the intruders are psychological beings who would best be interpreted as bodies of light, amorphous and vaporous. Yet your brain is not innately equipped to make this interpretation, for it senses also the great intelligence and curiosity of these beings. Unable to create the hallucination of an intelligent, curious cloud of vapor, the brain must struggle to render the image in more palatable, traditional terms. It does so by forcing a hallucination of as humanoid an appearance as possible, granting them limbs and eyes and so forth.
You see now why these beings don't leave evidence of windows and doors ajar, or other forced entry. They are not physical beings. They are psychological entities, interpreted by the brain within the limitations of its design.:"

"The Abortion Debate: Its Deeper Meaning

Social issues of great emotional intensity are often symbolic expressions of eruptions in the collective unconscious. The more hysterical, rigid, and uncompromising a person or group is in advocating a position, the greater the chance that the advocacy is but the surface expression of deeper issues with which the person or group is grappling. In the case of the "pro-life" side of the abortion debate, we find perhaps the shrillest, most uncompromising, most militant advocates of any social issue. More, we find apparent contradictions and hypocrisy; as, for example, in those who claim "sanctity of life" as their motive while bombing abortion clinics.
When surface contradictions appear, fear is at work. What beliefs do the "pro-life" forces hold? First, most base their actions on a traditional, often fundamentalist, Christianity. The Old Testament Jehovah was the world s first dysfunctional parent, alternately blessing and condemning His human creations, drowning the race when it dissatisfied Him, demanding infanticide of Abraham as proof of obeisance.
To believe in the Jehovah model of a creator, then, is to live in perpetual fear of a wrathful, vengeful creator figure who has the power and the will to snuff out the lives of those who displease Him. One feels tiny, frail, and helpless. While Jesus' later teachings were meant to steer the race toward an image of a God of love and forgiveness, conservative Christians tend to cling to the Old Testament Jehovah as the model of their creator.
Consider the fetus. It is tiny, frail, and helpless. It is utterly dependent on its mother, forever at her mercy, incapable of independent action or freeing itself from her omnipotent control. The mother-fetus relationship thus symbolically represents the relationship between conservative Christian and Jehovah. And because one hesitates to do battle against a wrathful and omnipotent God - a prudent choice! - the inner conflict is projected outward, onto the world at large, onto the fetuses floating in their helpless dependency. Here the fundamentalist can finally do battle against the secretly despised creator figure. Here millennia of chafing under the creator's capricious omnipotence can finally be rectified.


Just Say Yes: Drugs and Human Consciousness

Many point out the apparent hypocrisy of society s banning certain drugs while allowing other potent mind-altering substances - nicotine and alcohol, for example - to be sold in every corner store. Comparing the statistics between the devastating effects of alcohol - lost productivity, drunken driving, broken families, and so on - versus the minimal social effects of marijuana, why then does society permit one and ban the other?
For the capitalist system to function, the ruling class needs a large pool of complacent, uncomplaining workers who willingly sacrifice their own fulfillment and family life in order to serve the system by performing repetitive, mindless tasks. The present system could not survive in a culture of conscious individuals whose highest priorities were relationships, meaningful work, and personal growth. The system persists only because so many willingly work as drones in order to achieve a baseline level of comfort and security.
Alcohol is a depressant; it dulls the mind and body. It prevents clear thought, purposeful action, and introspective searching. In short, it is the perfect drug to offer in unlimited quantities to workers whose minds must be dulled from thinking too clearly and sharply about their condition and the system in which they are trapped. The custom of heading straight from work for the bar is the ruling class s dream routine: for rather than protesting the inhuman nature of the work they do, workers drown the cries from their anguished souls in the quick poison of a shot glass. The system also subtly encourages the use of alcohol as a symbol of rebellion among the young and disenfranchised, for what true rebellion can grow from a sedated, comatose populace?
Mushrooms, peyote, LSD, Ecstasy, ayahuasca: now these are truly dangerous drugs! They lift the mind above the mundane everyday world into realms of greater wisdom and awareness; they expose the lie of separation on which the system is built; they restore a sense of life purpose loftier than owning a home; they foster direct experience of the unity of all life; they encourage the user to pursue spiritual growth and loving relationships as higher goals than economic stability; they offer glimpses of eternal life after physical death.
What threats to the system! What would happen to the economic juggernaut paving over the earth if suddenly everyone placed family, enlightenment, and personal growth as higher priorities than making a living? If everyone understood the unity of all life and protested the destruction of the natural world as the necessary price of "progress"? If everyone dropped their tribal and national allegiances and bonded in one global family?
The system allows drugs which fracture, sedate, and suppress consciousness. It bans drugs which enhance, stimulate, and expand consciousness. That is the sole criterion. "

"The Global Pool of Consciousness

The physical universe is constructed of many layers of energy and vibration, only the slowest and densest of which are detected by your senses. Your eyes perceive a world of discrete objects separated by empty space. That "empty space" is in fact whirring and buzzing with thick streams of information swirling about the globe at a fierce velocity. One purpose of this revolving blanket of intelligence is to keep you apprised, usually at an unconscious level, of the species' overall condition and experience; and, more specifically, to alert you to events of emotional or physical significance occurring to those you love.
Your thoughts have an electromagnetic reality. These electrical streams flow not only from the brain down the neuronal networks, but also up into the atmosphere. You feed a constant stream of electrically encoded information to the world at large through the crown of your head. This stream is your private contribution to the global swarm of human consciousness. Because you carry a unique energetic "stamp" which identifies you vibrationally as surely as your fingerprint does physically, each unit of encoded information is recognizable as emanating from you and no one else.
Under normal circumstances, these private streams blend into the global pool of consciousness and pass undetected by others. In times of great physical or emotional stress, however, such streams pulse with fierce urgency and power, bursting from the background static of global consciousness to stand out as messages of special urgency. Because such messages carry the stamp of their originator, and because you instantly recognize the messages originating from those you know and love, a stream of urgent importance can trigger conscious feelings of concern for loved ones who may be half a world away. Reports are legion of those inexplicably gripped with sudden concern for loved ones, only to discover later that at the moment of sensed urgency the loved one had suffered great injury or died.
This is a natural and intended result of setting up the physical system in a way that ensures privacy of thought while allowing enough sensitivity to remote events that suffering and death are telepathically communicated to loved ones. The purpose of a camouflage physical system such as yours is that thoughts must be communicated through symbolic speech or gesture rather than directly, mind to mind. Nonetheless, each person is plugged into the global communication network and can, if receiving distress signals from loved ones, consciously detect their anguish.

From Camel to Cyberspace

As long as human tribes have needed to communicate with others out of their immediate vicinity, a set of agreed-upon symbols to carry their messages and a means of transportation to deliver them have been required. Driven by the natural desire that such symbolic messages be clear and detailed, and that they arrive as quickly as possible, two primary focuses of human technological progress have been the development of sophisticated language systems and faster modes of transportation. Subconsciously driving these efforts has been the urge to physically replicate the vibrational communication system encircling the globe, which carries richly detailed energetic messages around the world in mere moments.
Communicating through cyberspace represents a quantum leap of an altogether different nature than the gradual refinements in language and transportation which enhanced the complexity, and shortened the delivery time, of communication through the centuries. For moving into the digital age carries with it a fundamental shift in the way information is organized and disseminated. Until now, the race's accumulated knowledge has been collected and organized by writers, printed in media such as books, magazines, and newspapers, and made available to those with the means to acquire it. The process is a mechanical one, requiring paper, typesetting, and transportation to make information available.
The move into the digital age marks a shift from a mechanical communication system to an energetic system in which information is created, disseminated and retrieved without ever being reduced to paper and physically transported. This represents a great leap in sophistication, for it much more closely replicates the world s "original" communication system, the vast vibrational network encircling the globe.
One striking feature of cyberspace communication, which makes it such a leap above all other means of exchange, is that sender and recipient no longer need a physical address. Once one has a "virtual" address, others can send messages from anywhere, at any time, with the confidence that the message will find its intended recipient, wherever he or she may be. Communicating via cyberspace eliminates the need to inscribe messages on paper and pay to have them transported to a physical address. This represents a great leap closer to replicating the energetic communication system surrounding the globe.

The Binary Universe

There is another highly significant aspect of the evolution from physical means of communication to energetic means. The digital revolution marks the transition into an era when various media - language, photography, music, video - can be reduced to binary form, stored and reproduced with perfect fidelity, and transmitted across the vast reaches of cyberspace in moments. All such media are founded on the computer s binary system which, at its most elemental level, reduces information to a series of on/off values, pulsing in elaborate sequences to build complex tapestries of information.
This is how the physical universe works as well: a steady pulsation between the physical and nonphysical realms transmits information across the vibrational divide. The physical universe blinks "on" and "off" as it rides this primal pulsation. A thrust of energy and structural information bursts from the nonphysical realms to organize a coherent physical universe: this is the "on" pulsation. The physical realm then transmits responsive information as to its condition and unfolding events: this is the "off" pulsation during which physical reality ceases to exist. Your mind unconsciously leaps the gap of nonexistence, for the pulsation is far too rapid for your senses to detect. You live in the illusion of a physical world when, for 12 hours out of every 24, that world does not exist.
Thus the universe operates as a binary system, rooted to a primal on/off pulsation carrying information across the vibrational barrier between physical and nonphysical realms. It is no accident that computers should use the same basic system to store and handle information; as is always the case, technology edges ever closer to replicating the deeper structures and processes on which the universe is based. Each such innovative advance brings you one step closer to physically re-creating the deeper universal system, toward manifesting "heaven on earth."

Cyberchips and Satellites: The Next Great Leap

For all the wondrous improvements in communication brought about by the computer revolution and creation of cyberspace, there remain several impediments to physical re-creation of the global energetic communication system. The most obvious is that expensive and sophisticated machines are required to communicate via cyberspace. This limits use of the technology to businesses and affluent individuals (and the average First World denizen is affluent by world standards). The second impediment is that dependence on physical structures and systems (such as telephone lines) limits access to cyberspace; one cannot retrieve e-mail from remote jungles or floating on the high seas without at least a sophisticated satellite hookup (which further increases the expense and limits access).
Because your race is driven to replicate the global communication system, and because that system allows instantaneous, unimpeded communication with all other individuals, technological innovation will forge ahead in the direction of reducing cost and increasing availability of access. This will take several forms. The first is that computers, or at least their communication systems, will be reduced in size to a tiny implant (a "cyberchip") which can be burrowed under the skin. A system of satellites sweeping the global skies will transmit messages from anywhere in the world to the cyberchip carried by a target individual. This eliminates the need to lug a laptop about the globe and find a functional telephone line.
For all the progress this level of innovation represents, it still depends on physical devices which can be damaged or lost, abruptly cutting off cyber- communication. The next great technological leap - and this lies beyond the lifetime of most now living - will be to place the implants under the scalp or in the brain, where they translate the brain's electrical activity into binary pulsations which can be broadcast to others. Just as each living being has a unique vibrational stamp which identifies it as the source of its energetic messages, so will each chip have a unique code allowing identification of the source of brain-to-brain communication.
The current revolution in communicating via cyberspace is one step in the greater process of physically replicating the vast energetic communication system encircling the globe. What lies ahead are reducing dependence on machinery to transmit and receive information, miniaturizing broadcast technology, expanding access from the wealthy to all, and fighting government control and censorship of cyberspace. Beyond the upcoming decades of technological innovation and social debate lies a new era of instantaneous communication, free of censorship or repression, allowing every individual to travel freely while maintaining immediate contact with their business and family circles. This is the promise of the cyberspace revolution. "
