Realizing Enlightened Habits

We spend lifetimes trying to measure the measureless as the fruits decay and fall to the soil.

Let us eat and enhoy the fruit Now because there is fruit on the tree.

A tree is a tree no matter how many languages and words describe. The only way to know a tree is to expereince it.

Life IS no matter our attempts to define. We can create charts and diagrams and new teachings but the true teaching is acceptance and appreciation for the experience. Can there be appreciation without acceptance? Can there be joy if one does not find joy in this life experience? Can peace be found if one is not at peace? Can enlightenment be known if one is not light? These are simple questions with profound, and seemingly obvious answers.

One is what one experiences.

There is a point when acceptance engulfs the desire to know and life IS, the tree IS.

There is a realization that the tools are only pointing to what one already knows and then IS is ALL.

It can not be stressed enough to observe habits even if they appear enlightened so as not too lose self to the control of the habit.

Stillness is not immobility, but unimpeded mobility through lack of acquisition.

Enlightenment is the lightening of the load. It is the energy expended to balance and understand the ALl that that dims us.

Flow through all that you do and experience it fully and then set it free to continue freely.

The incredible design is so that upon exhaustion of understanding it is not failure encountered, but freedom through knowing.


In stillness all settles like sediment and truth is revealed.

Collective Dialogue Part 1 - Being Mindful of Questions

Apparently I am working on things but nevertheless enjoying the process. I know this is not new information; but through my experience it is. Reading philosophy and spiritual writings is valuable, but it is when we experience these truths through our own action that we grow and step into the understanding of the originating author.

My brother has a viable, beneficial, and potentially lucrative business model he is developing; and seeing that I am his brother and that there is no wall between I am by extension a part of the process. The main issue at this point is what is the best way to go about protecting an intellectual idea? After a lengthy and impassioned discussion we had two days ago a peculiar awareness began to present itself to me. I realized many things from this conversation, most having nothing to do with the topic. I realized that I was habitually using a guise of an ancient modality of playing the devil’s advocate in a way so as to illuminate possible pitfalls. I thought I was being wise in sharing my past experiences with him. At one level this is fine and loving, but something cracked open within me. My brother said a few times that he was thinking of the solution and nothing else and I finally HEARD him. His statement is the inspiration for this writing.

It seems this statement was the key into something much larger than I imagined.

Upon observance of our dialog I realized that my initial response to his principle question was my final response of the conversation. What I first replied was now the first step I offered for him to take after our conversation, but what a travel we took to hear this. Of course many other illuminating insights were gained, but I wonder what the conversation would have been like through mindfulness. I am not saying that my brother is not mindful, but I feel we would both benefit from practicing evolved forms of observance while conversing.

I have been aware of something beyond words for years concerning semantics and word usage, but only to the extent that it existed at my current understanding. I was naturally being drawn towards a more symbolic way of communicating. I had always though that my poetic and visual way of speaking was a distraction and immature, I am beginning to see another explanation. Now there is a lot more to observe in dialog which seems more symbolic and poetic in its meter and space. I also realized that there has been a slight frustration within me concerning myself and my brother’s conversations, and how I feel some are compared to the past and not dancing in the mysterious present. I was observing our dialogs harmonizing more, and I was curious as to what had created this new and smoother way we shared. I realized that there is no way not to speak excluding foundation; it is just where we place our awareness during collective communication that opens us up to new evolving dialog. I am sure this is part of what unconsciously sent me searching of a way to create a more productive space for us in this regard.

We had traveled through a circle, and not for the first time. In fact, I have been noticing this within most conversations I have, and of those I observe in others; degrees, status and intelligence not a factor. It seems our conversation now as I reflected instead of being comprised of parts was being experienced wholly as a “thing” or a living being, revealing a larger rhythm, revealing nature. I found myself hyper-aware of the arc traveled. It is so interesting that this larger awareness even shows up in a simple dialog, actually, because it always IS. As I observe our conversations now I am aware of the conversation as a whole and the mechanics we employ. Somehow my brother and mine dialog illumined a larger relationship: how do we talk to each other and what is going on as we do?

What is the flow of dialog and what affects that flow?

Is there a mindful way to observe ourselves as we speak, or not, with others beyond concept?

Is there a way to be aware of the flow; a tangible way to assist by strategically saying less?

I started to think about these questions and their inherent value. What is a question and what is really happening when we ask a question in conversation? What happens to the flow when we ask a question? I realized as I observed this whole aspect of dialog between us that questions strongly affect flow. I see dialog as a larger wave. It is as though the flow is moving forward and the question has the ability to remain harmonious or divert, even halt inspiration. You may be walking in the middle of nowhere peaceful and unaware of where you are and then someone asks you a question and it is as though you step out of the flow to answer. Of course this may be relevant at the time. I just wanted to plant a visceral seed for the remainder of this writing.

I observe degrees of “stepping out” in conversations. Many questions do not empower, they create intersections and intricate intersections at that which usually lead anywhere but the current topic. How many business meetings have we sat in only to observe nothing accomplished? Everyone comes together and waves their flags and asks useless and empty questions only to exit unaware of the larger potential that existed for the group. Can we answer or reply with a question that allows the flow to continue? Are not the questions derived and supported by the existing knowledge base of the questioner prone to ego tendencies? Yes, everyone's. It is as though the one who asks is searching for weakness in the other to validate themselves through knowing the answer to their own question or even negating the topic all together, often bringing the conversation to a level that only includes them: their ego. So, just as we observe ourselves through meditation we can employ observance within collectives. We can begin evolved dialog by understanding our questions and habits.

Too many questions are empty. “What do you mean” is not conveying to the person what needs clarification. What do you mean does not address anything it just places the conversation into the one asking, and proves that they are not thinking beyond their comfort zone. "What do you mean?" is someone saying nothing - even "please continue" takes less time, words, and energy to say and it is empowering. The individual ego accepts that it does not know, and by this admission the collective continues. The flow has morphed from containing to being contained. Could we not say “please elaborate;" meaning I have been following you but need more information? Or “I like where you are going and would like to add my idea.” Look at how this affects the larger flowing inspiration. It is an empowering statement that says “keep flowing.” It says “flow keep flowing and let’s see where we get to because you are larger than the parts.” It is creating the space for the idea to continue. It also creates a space for everyone to feel unified instead of diversified by the myriad (usually overly intelligent) questions. It simplifies the conversation by transcending the individual ego that habitually presents itself allowing the larger dialog to Be. How many conversations are circuitous? We say the same things over and over with different words because we are not being mindful of the larger relationship inherent in the flow. Our ego is stuck in a loop when only awareness affords the next step. Dialog can be a way to experience a larger space with others, opening us up for amazing collective possibilities. If we could see a model of the mind we might see these shallow thoughts and questions buzzing near the surface in an “automatic reply zone.” Instead of deeper cognition and inspiration, these automatic “knee-jerk” responses play out and do nothing for the conversation or meeting but dilute. Instead of 15 minutes of valuable and cohesive dialog in two hours how about an hour? How much more could be achieved by being mindful enough to avoid habits within conversations?

Yes, what if we practice mindful dialog through our observance of questions? Can you sense the magnitude of letting ideas and topics flow unhindered into new harmonic territories? If we have evolved to this level with the aid of the individual ego in the process of dialog than what can be experienced in this paradigm of listening and empowering through questions which take into account the larger flow?

Being Flooded

OK, I am being flooded with new business ideas daily. Ideas are crystallizing and arriving whole. These are not building upon anything I am doing or thinking, just sort of showing up. So now what? Who to contact?

All of these ideas are big, huge in fact and too big for just me. Many are ways to lessen our burden on the planet. Some empower us and excite us with their application at conserving and creating energy while utilizing existing business structures.

This is not new with me; I have watched many of my concepts take flight through another over my life and this is fine. Some have been in evolutionary direction and some are just being developed. But now I am curious as to the process of bringing an idea to fruition now.

What do we do with epiphany?

I seek a team.

A Little Thought

studying...

At this time there is little worry because even worry is not real. How can we worry when it is perfect, so perfect when we observe? So much is just gone, and in its place the more that always is. I have stopped wasting energy on SO many things. Within my reality I see through so much of what used to ensnare me. Somehow the clarity, openings, and unknowing continue, and with each is a purer existence to observe. I do not need anything but my experience.

I feel so free of the desiring for the things that we create when we are trying to understand it.

It is.

I do not have a mission.

I do not have to do anything accept be grateful and as present as I am able.

I know that everything is perfect at every moment the more I observe this, there is no other way. As I watch the intensifying spiritual market that we are creating, I am in awe that even this reveals itself unreal.

I feel it is the thinking that clouds and distorts as all wise ones reveal. Maybe we have these brains to eventually realize that it is beyond the senses so we need not look for truth with them. Enjoy the senses and the experience, for this is incredible now. All forms are impermanent at any vibratory level so let them flow through you like a breeze through the screen. Peace is always when we realize this. Every form that we attach to including spiritual, archetypal, masters, gods, you name it, must be let go eventually to know truth. This can be known instantly when we realize else we continue the endless loop of forms. If one can find fault here then one can find fault anywhere so let the idea of "fault go and be free. Know there is no fault and then one is free. What happens after death could be anything, so let it be what it is as you experience now. Could fleets of spaceships suddenly appear in our atmosphere, land, and then aliens share more mystery with us? Yes. But don't forget this is within the evolution of forms and vibration and what we seek is before form.

Examining the Concept of Having a Mission

Hello me.

I had an interesting conversation with a close friend this morning. It is incredible experiencing another aspect of the mystery in the form of a person. As we were talking we began to speak candidly about inner experiences that we have each had. I realize this tends to lead to inexplicable areas, but nevertheless we traveled on.

I have this consistent experience of becoming involved with something and then absorbing, absolving, assimilating and the losing the impetus that brought me there in the first place. Hence, I drift away from what had “caught” my attention. This is just the way it is. It is not better or worse than another. I do not ask or create this. I don’t attribute this to some divine mysterious deity – it just is. This has become more rapid these past few years. The amount of time I spend passing through a belief or concept is lessening.

The only way I can explain this is that after being “in” a group or movement or teaching I start to feel confined for some reason, and then suddenly I am back out with the knowing that I do not need to be in what I was in for completion. Yes, it as though any time I become involved with an energy that does not know its own completeness I am uncomfortable. It as though I have to pretend that I incomplete and empathetic to whatever has now entered my reality to create the sustaining relationships. I don’t have many relationships and do not mind. Maybe I am finally at 40 beginning to believe in me.

I have no idea what I know. I don’t claim to know more than another; in fact, the only thing I do is un-know.

So my friend and I have musically performed numerous times and it has been fine, almost introductory. Now he is formulating larger projects, possibly global and this certain caveat I brought up. This individual is on a mission; so conclusively the direction and eventual projects all are under this umbrella. Stand in the rain.

Mission? What does this mean? What does it mean when we say “I have a mission?” All that I feel today through my being is I am experiencing a consciousness that must fix things to then know peace. I can see this is the new “spiritual” market and tools, and within layers and layers of teachings. How will this consciousness ever find wholeness if it only looks for what it thinks needs fixing? As I stated in a previous blog; in order to fulfill the hunger of a mission one would then need to experience a reality that needs solving or fixing to thus be “on” their mission. Does this make sense? I realize and remain open as I experience this person in my life.

Would not this translate into environment seeing that those on a mission will have to have things to resolve to satisfy their need to be on a mission? It seems to me that you could be in a slum or on some other plane of evolved existence and still “see” what you need to see and not truth to justify the mission.

I don’t have a mission, which as been the most confusing aspect of my journey and eventual saving grace.

As we were speaking I wished I could draw out the image I was seeing in my head; I speak in relationships and geometry. I would draw a circle in the center of a piece of paper. I would draw a Yin/Yang sign in the circle representing the natural balance of Earth. I would then for clarities sake draw another small “human” circle outside of the main Earth circle and yet within a dashed larger circle of influence approximately 3 times the diameter of the Earth. We can say that this is the vibration influence of our race (just for rhetorical theory, seeing vibration is real to us). Now let us say that the Earth is a musical octave. As we know a musical note is just the vibration of a string at different oscillating ratios. You can create any note on one string. Each human may be the physical manifestation of a musical note traveling through the oscillations of creation I would then draw many small lines from the small “human” circle attaching to the Earth, and then lines going out in all directions for a visual reference to the beyond.

If we look at our teacher in action by observing nature we see that despite what we think or feel it is balanced. We realize the further we step back, the clearer nature becomes. We can not step in and remove a certain species of plant, animal, or mineral or everything is affected. We are seeing the result of the experiments attempted through our growing understanding today in the accelerated changes in our environment. Through wisdom can we “let it be?” We can construe the shifting of tectonic plates as horrible or chaotic or a result of sinful actions; or, we can know the impermanence of life and just observe without any conceptual attachment and be in peace no matter the situation. Of course I am not perfect and still have many dramas but I am observing.

Can this not be done with our human structure as well?

So if we take one on a mission as an example, and they are here on the Earth, would it not suffice it to say that the Earth can cater to this being’s desire? Yes. Then can we also say when talking about an Indian sage or New Age teacher or one we consider awake or enlightened that the Earth is for them as well? Yes. So the Earth can be all these things, but how is this possible? Is it not in the eye of the beholder? Can we then state that not ONE of these realities has precedence over another, just as not one tree or animal species has precedence over the other? We could then accept the Earth, all of it, and find our peace within by not trying to fix things and just observing our own nature. Imagine what we can experience if we are only allowing the moment to flow through, the alive and flowing reality instead of our limited beliefs which fester in the past. Sit and ponder how much energy is being spent on the not now. Do you see how truly there is only a smallest of fractions that are present? Of course there are needed modalities at this time to keep order, even though the chaos is immeasurable.

I must digress; I was watching the “Planet Earth” DVD series yesterday and thought, “if we take all the energy that is feeding conservation and animal preservation and global warming causes or any “fix it” consciousness for that matter and changed the lesser-evolved stagnant creations that are disrupting nature, all would solve itself through the joy of life expressing itself.”

You can’t change the reflection; you can only change the subject – I love that.

If all these groups truly want change then they should unite and be the change. It is comical to see them clearing the water just around the corner from a factory which is dumping waste into it; or spending monies on creating “safe” environments for animals when it is the accepted companies that are causing the “problems.” Do we see that this complete design can be bypassed by using our energy not to feed the illusion but by collecting and being the now? Collecting and allowing life to express nature through us; and we can see that nature does know what is doing, far more that we can grasp – so let it do what it does. Let new creative companies create new harmonies because this is what they are doing. Nature does not try and repair a bloom that has fallen to the Earth, it grows a new bloom. And here’s the kicker, it experiences life through the fallen petals by absorbing the elements that have comprised it within that exact moment of the now. If nature spent its energy on fixing the dying, then it would cease to exist as we know it.

OK, back to the subject at hand; we can then say that everything on the Earth is comprised of this octave or it would not be know to us. Can we say that this Earth is a teacher? If we can, then can we further state that the lessons are so numbered and diverse that we could never know them all and that maybe we don’t have to? Can we then say that all the things in the world that we place such emphasis on and that seem vital are possibly not? Could we then observe that what is left is ourselves?

Concerning the mission; what I have been attempting to explain is if that if the one core thing our reality is saying to us is to look and know ourselves, as the wise ones have stated, and we do become aware of more than the concept of “fixing” or not accepting the balance of nature, is it not logical that we would have learned to know and accept ourselves as the Earth has taught and that we then will have new unlimited experience? This makes sense too me, I am not sure about anyone else. So could we then say that by seeing (though we don’t want to) that even this body is impermanent by nature’s design that we would continue to experience the Earth as we know it until we learn this truth? We can even look at this through physics and the laws we understand at this time. We know that we are a consciousness that is beyond our musings and endless, everything points to this knowing. We also realize that everything is actually a part of one connected something. So concerning the Earth, it is our vibration interplay, or attachments that incorporate us into this octave. If we are living middle “C”, and middle “c” is Earth as we know it, then we are here. So if a “mission” consciousness is within this Earth octave we can conclude that despite the impermanence we will continue to be here. So theoretically we are then in a self-perpetuating loop of the Universe creating the situation to satisfy our current evolutionary beliefs: missions, until we through observance realize that our life is just the expression of being alive. We can still be doing exactly what we were doing but from a larger perspective, and thus not limited in scope.

Express for the joy of expressing. Sing to sing. Paint to paint. Create a business because this is expressing who you are. Heal to heal, not because you think people need healing but because you love life and all that you experience in it. It may seem like a small thing, but this is beyond semantics and could be far-reaching. Let this, the tiniest of shifts occur by just observing now that it can. Truly, it is analogous to being in a room or to being in the world. Another thing to realize is that when we are living within a confined consciousness we tend to express through recycling. It is analogous to everyone on a plane inhaling and exhaling the same air until one opens the door and new air arrives. So we could also say that the now or newness of experience is expressing through unconfined means as well as working mysteriously everywhere beyond the scope of my understanding. Conversely, if we only observe and not attach ourselves to any limiting factors through our own evolutionary knowing, we are then naturally moving onto another octave due to the fact that we are not a part of the middle “c” octave. Additionally, if we are not placing our awareness on the lessons of the Earth, then where are we? And what then is being through us?

Let me clarify that I do not feel NOW is a frozen moment of existence. On the contrary, I suggest that it is an uninhibited expression of being that will eventually flow through any form.

A Visceral Anlysis of Consciousness

It is so interesting how we acquire knowledge.

I was sitting when through my mind came a visceral vision of fields of shaking cantilevered towers of cubes in an atmosphere of particle-filled air. Some particles appeared to swirl and dance on invisible currents while others were being drawn to and attaching to the towers. I knew that I was experiencing one of my strange inner metaphors, but for what?

I then thought about how we experience newness like the experiencing of a wild animal. At first the newness is unruly and difficult to hold or understand, sometimes even scratching or causing us discomfort as we struggle to assimilate. But after a while we understand a pleasing way to hold the animal and what factors create calmness within the relationship. We enjoy the sense of expansion like a sun ray through a keyhole. We are warmed and enveloped by the larger space. We have expanded to contain the new experience. What strikes me is the amazing fact that instead of letting the animal or newness continue to whence it came after we have gleaned all that we could harmoniously we place it into a cage and stack it up with the other once-new experiences we have had that are now comprising us. Suddenly we are living to collect the cages, or dead information, and not the living and flowing experience. We are spending our days overburdened with the impossible task of remembering what was, leaving no room or energy for what is now. I realized that there would be no towers to fight the wind and wrestle the impermanence of change if we did not cling to any newness and allowed the flow to flow. The towers I were seeing were the blocks of information desiring to return to the potential that is.

I realize cages is a harsh description, but this is what I am writing.

When there are no cages then there is no us, only the experience. I seem to enjoy these often geometric and yet simple understandings. I have always thought spatially and seem to continue to do so as I live.

It seems we only cage something so that we can at later time reveal that we have captured it. Our ego wants someone or something to think that what is in the cage is really our own. When we pull the rabbit out the hat we need the applause of the audience. This can be as simple as a poem or as complex as an axiomatic religious truth. We collect the data so we can use it in a later program that we then create through our observing of life in a certain way, through a certain lens. We are programmers who need a certain code of cages to justify the code we are writing. We are then in a loop that only feeds itself. We are then in a closed system that we know through the teaching of physics will eventually break down. The moment we take on the roll of a programmer we need to experience the code we desire to create the program, there is no other way. We then self-perpetuate our existence into a linear programming perspective.

How about a world without the need to program? What if all the programs are written and we only need to experience the running codes? What would we do if we were not programming?

Does it not seem that we do nothing but try and solve the programs we write?
If all programs eventually succumb to impermanence then there must be more to life than the continual programming of failing programs.


Peace.
Stillness
Wholeness

Experience

If you think there is more, than the understanding has not been reached because if you need more than you will experience the need for more.

We can see how this is an endless equation. There is no right or wrong, only experience, and this is what I am experiencing now.

I am not saying we should not create. I am pointing out how our creations will benefit by flowering out of the now instead of the dead information that we have captured. It is akin to creating something that already contains a hint of rust. This could explain how a child’s smile contains so much power; it is a direct smile from the moment. It is not a smile that has traveled through ideas of what a smile should be, or how a smiling person should act, or should I smile, or I hate my teeth, or how intense? It is a direct expression of living. It is an act of pure creation. There is no programming involved in a pure moment. It is a simple as a reaction - nature living naturally.

Another interesting way to look at how we learn is to see learning as compared to a grouping of objects (another programming nod). I think a teaching observation is that when we learn we tend to be only learning to the level that we are comfortable with and not wholly learning. One can see the inherent imitation when only learning to a certain degree of the circle. For example; someone who holds (interesting word usage) a strong belief about something tends to base all new information on that belief. Another way to say this is that they use the belief as a filter through which the information flows. We know what happens when we filter, hence the word “filter”, things are filtered out: omitted. The wholeness of the experience is subjected to the biases and affects of the pre-existing information filter. In order to have whole experience then we need to allow the foundation room for growth as well. We need to allow our deepest core aspects malleability. This could explain how one can experience such a profound life-changing moment seeing what has occurred is that the new knowledge has reached the foundation unobstructed. Another way is that the observer realizes the knowledge is coming from within, it is them. They are the knowledge. We are the river. When this happens the core of belief expands like a ripple into all existing knowledge stemming from this foundation, evolving as well, due to the expansion of the foundation.

A Fenceless Now

Do you ever consider the reason that we segregate ourselves within ourselves? Do you ever wonder how and why a certain fence within was constructed? Are we holding something in or blocking something out? Is it important to continually evaluate a fence? Yes. Maybe now is the time to observe fences.

I find it interesting that we effortlessly own a thought about a tree, or going to the grocery store, or even a deep and involved philosophical or so-called spiritual discussion; but, when we have an abstract or inspirational thought we label and categorize it as mystical or angelic and not an “us” thought. Is it due to it coming from beyond, beyond a fence?

Are humans incapable of profound and insightful thoughts? Of course we are not. Are we content to stay within the fence? It does not seem so. It is interesting to note that happy animals do not require a fence; for it is love that creates the flow of life, not the restriction. If the animal stays or strays it is proportionate to the love experienced and not because of a fence. A fence may be a cage without a ceiling or a safe arena for growth. A fence may be built upon fear of the unknown, or the known. A fence may be a blood-clot in the running green veins of nature or the current stratagem of survival. I understand the value of a fence when perceived from different levels of self understanding. I have also tasted the inexpressible when they are surpassed.

Let us examine an impetus for constructing fences.

Ask yourself, are we less than the thoughts we have? Are we meant to be confined within a certain area of experience and that is all? Are the limits placed upon us by some unknown entity, or, have we placed these limits upon ourselves? You may not see a leg in the dark, but if you shine a flashlight it is there. Because we can not see the path over the hill does not mean it does not exist. A great quote is “the grass is always greener on the other side.” This is so powerful in that it creates a resistance to continually running for satisfaction, and yet it plants a seed of wanting to know more of what we are.

Today we know that we are energy, and something even beyond. We have proven this to the point that we are able know now, and this is amazing!

We know now.

We now know.

Imagine how many fences disappeared as we accepted this understanding about energy. Imagine the freedom felt by the countless confined in a fence of mortality. Feel the power when you hear that we are unending, limitless energy. Now feel the friction of those still holding on as the fences dissolve back into potential nothingness. If one is not ready for new expanse they will only cover there eyes and senses as the fences are dismantled.

Do you see how life is created by levels of fences?

We are non-local energy at play.

We are limitless, so why the limitations?

Are not the thoughts and feelings coming from within us our own non-local experience? Imagine the amount of fences that will disappear when we own everything. Imagine the stillness when we stop sending energy into imaginary place-holders and we experience all that we are here, now. Can we become adept at recognizing fences, and therefore freeing ourselves of them? Do we want to? Are we ready? These are good questions.

A fence creates the lesson.

There is a time when a toddler realizes he can open the sliding-glass back door, a gate to him or her, and then unknowingly he has entered a larger gated backyard. Now the backyard is ALL to the toddler, it is everything. It is newness and adventure and discovery until one day he realizes that there is more on the other side of the backyard fence. Now he does not get angry that he was enclosed; he is so immersed in the more of new experience that all that was associated with the backyard fence has evolved into the new space of experience. Could this be entering Heaven as children? Can we experience new experience without attaching all the baggage? The child’s attention is now observing the opened space beyond the fenced in backyard, free to be without all the yesterdays and tomorrows.

We also can ascertain that we have created psychological fences through our development so as not to lose a sense of identity as we expand into mystery. Even as children we think there is a Santa Claus until we realize it is our parents behind the scenes, and then one day, it is now us who is giving gifts to our loved ones. Do you see how this works? We eventually must find and observe every fence as we experience this experience; for when we are able to observe the fence, we are then able to realize that what we observe is not the true observer and the fence is then a non-fence.

We must love every fence to continue to flow.

The thing is that we can really love a fence and worship a fence and the space that we are confined in until we think that what we know is everything. We can paint a fence and whatever else we can think of to a fence, but it still a fence; and when we own the fence, and are then able to observe it unhindered, the fence becomes a non-fence.

How poor a design would be if one was expected to measure every part of their experience against an unknown acting catalyst; this is the playground of insanity. This is akin to being placed in a pool and asked to define only the water that has fallen from the sky – it is all water no matter its origination. You are in the pool therefore the pool IS your experience. Is it not all the same experience that is flowing through our conceptual structures of understanding? Water that passes through a colored lens may appear to change color but it is still the same water. Why do we have a need to partition parts of ourselves as invisible, individual, and conveniently unreachable fragments? What has caused us not to own our entire experience?

When did we create angels and others residing in mysterious dimensions to save us instead of saving and owning ourselves? Do you see the profound implications to this thought and to its possible unraveling? Furthermore, can we now be done with this fragmentation knowing that is has served well? Do we feel that we have benefited and may now return to whole being? Do you see that we are not working with and discovering new creations and aspects of GOD; we are only re-experiencing the aspects of ourselves that we separated into from a de-evolved state of being. It is vital that this simple idea be allowed to gestate within this dissolving menagerie as we embrace more of what we are instead of deepening into the illusion.

We learn and expand from every experience, yes? And I celebrate this. I can only share my experience, and it is that all is us through the understanding that everything that we experience is us; is me; is you, is one, is no-thing. Each thought, each feeling, each experience just is. We can, and have imagined and created intermediary beyond intermediary and this is fine; but again know there is an alternative – a direct route to truth.

There is a fenceless existence.

There is no one but you, so own it. There is only one. A fence can divide land as well as layers within our psyches and selves. There is only one and a fence delimits the experience.

It is interesting to note that when we meet someone we have a barrage of information to access and gather and memorize as we eventually connect with them. But after we do know them and feel them we do not need definitions or even words. We are happy to just be with them and talk or not talk. We are in a fenceless moment. We are now, and there is an unspoken language that conveys all that we feel to them. It seems the more we share the less we need to use words and fences to define the other. Love runs freely into and out of itself.

So all that I seem to be rambling and writing here is that when we have a new experience, or as we rediscover more of ourselves, be observant to the fact that we as a species tend to create placeholders for the new and mysterious information instead of knowing that the experience is only another aspect of who we truly are.

Just as we spring board through the observance of illusory teachings (all truly serving a grander purpose than we are able to grasp) it will benefit us greatly if we realize that we will only at some point be doing the same to all the imagined and created realities that we have created by not owning our experience as our own.
