Silence

Silence

is the only Truth

upon which all preaching takes place

and out of which all preaching is made..

The sermon brings a cutting edge

to the silent wholeness

and many beliefs and propositions

seem to fill the edifice..

But as we remember the Silence

the preaching words

appear and disappear

leaving gaps and background

revealing that which has

never been absent...

Perceptions and Perceiving

Perceptions and Perceiving

If we have an agreement with reality

that reality consists of 10,000 separate things

and that we in our body/minds are the 

subject and observer of all of these things

reality will unfold just thusly..

Yet..consulting our experience we do not

find the many boundaries assumed

and the experience of seamlessness 

arrives quickly in a new day...

Thought for the day....... "You will always define events in a manner which will validate your agreement with reality.” Steve Maraboli (Life, the Truth, and Being Free)  Thanks, Nancy..!

Shifting

Shifting

Searches on the internet can bring

many colorful descriptions of what is seen

as a Shifting in our time..

"A Dimensional Shift Has Taken Place and Is Still In Progress."

These most hopeful messages are phrased

in terms of progress and becoming and time..

A more startling revelation might come from

a recognition of our authentic Self

here and now..not lodged in 

becoming and time..

Spontaneous shifting..

Simple Awareness..

cleansing of perception:

by Diane Canfield,

Beloved Tribe of Light,

A dimensional Shift has occurred and we are now existing on a brand new timeline. What does this mean?

It means the Universe has catapulted us into a new state of consciousness, a new awareness. This has occurred because of the overflowing expanded consciousness that has taken place with the many beings of Earth. This occurred because of the overwhelming Love that now exists in the Earth Realm.

We have experienced Geo Magnetic Storms for the past 2 months almost continuously that have helped us achieve our new upgraded level of awareness. These storms help us to achieve upgraded DNA which then in turn builds the LIGHT Body which is needed to traverse the higher dimensions of light. Out of the last 60 days we have had 34 days of intense Geo storms.

The higher dimensions of light are based on Consciousness and the level of Awareness a being holds within themselves. As a being becomes one with their authentic self and in doing so merges with the Creator/Christ Consciousness we then become more crystalline and lighter in body, thought and awareness. This is what is needed to traverse the higher dimensions of awareness and Light.

This is how we evolve out of this 3D dimension in spurts and jumps that will lead us ultimately to the higher dimensions of light. Many beings  already exist in these dimensions. I have had in person contact with many races of ETs that already exist in these realms.  They are inter dimensional and travel between dimensions as we will be doing. There is a process involved in learning these techniques and this is why paranormal activities increase as we move dimensions. We are learning how to navigate these new realms.

Dimensional shifts can cause many issues while we are in the middle of them. These issues are physical, emotional and mental. While they occur there are also episodes of Bliss that also occur off and on. It is completely normal to feel bliss one day and then feel the effects of the shift the next day. This is how the Universe always implements new creations… it is done in waves.

For those that may have been in rocky relationships and may have parted ways-with this shift there is a chance of now reconciling. This has changed every person on the planet and we now exist on a brand new timeline. Many relationships have been under intense strain during this time. It may be worthwhile to take another look at a break up and put out a friendly hand if this break up occurred recently. Shifts to a higher timeline can change the entire dynamic of the relationship and a new start can lead both to higher awareness.

During dimensional shifting many symptoms come to light. Some of these will be intense dreaming as if we are not dreaming but really in a different reality. Intense hunger and Intense thirst. Seeing many paranormal beings or having paranormal experiences or increased experiences.

During these last 2 months my own paranormal experiences have vastly increased. I have been seeing more Beings pop in and out of the spaces I am in. Sometimes they are just outlines and sometimes more. I am seeing things moving all over my house that should not be moving. I am hearing my husband talking when he is not in the room with me or talking at all. Memory losses can occur while not being able to remember something that just came into our minds a few minutes before. Many other paranormal experiences can occur with psychic sight increasing. You may know things you don’t know how you know. You may have telepathic communication with others. Synchronicities increase. This is not uncommon. This happens every time we are shifting timelines. Although I have always have tons of paranormal experiences these are always increased during times of shifting and this will occur for those that don’t experience these things on a daily basis.

During timeline shifts all prior negative timelines are deleted. The positive timelines are allowed to come in and manifest. This is quite an important and detailed process that takes place. This has been a huge jump and we are still adapting to this shift in consciousness.

All lower timelines will eventually drop off and we will be left with a higher timeline in 5D or above. During these times manifesting becomes easier and quicker. This is a good time to go after things that may have been put on hold. This is an excellent time to set goals and start to work on manifesting what your heart desires. Nothing is out of reach now as we move ahead to the higher timelines.

The Advanced Council of Interplanetary Light is a Council of ET Beings of that have visited me in person.  They make up many different races of ETs that are all working together for the good of human kind. A new message has been received which I have included below.

Message From the Advanced Council of Interplanetary Light:

Your Planet has just gone through a metamorphosis with the Timeline Shifts that have just taken place. All beings of Earth- we ask you to send Love to planet Earth to help as this transition takes place. Imagine in your mind a huge Heart full of love and send it on to Earth during these next few weeks to help with this transition. All the lower timelines have been deleted and this takes work on the part of the Earth to accomplish this.

I love you all ! In service and Love

Wave and Ocean..

Vicki Woodyard April 28 at 6:33pm   What Charles Coon says strikes me DEEPLY. "The temporary wave only desires to find the permanent ocean...similarly, we keep the separation illusion alive looking for the permanent grace."

The Life Review

The Life Review

Expresses the Eternal Now

all of a life appearing as memory

vibrates and modulates

the Eternal Field..

The appearances near death

express themselves in ways

similar and dissimilar 

from waking experience..

Nearness of death

the death of separation

discovers the Oneness

as Love 

which is colored now

by Review perceptions...

The Life Review and the Near-Death Experience  Kimberly Clark Sharp once shared an interesting  near-death account of the life review of a woman  who saw an event in her life as a child. The lesson  the woman learned from her life review is that our  actions which seem unimportant can be more  important than we can imagine on the other side.  When the woman was a little girl, she saw a tiny  flower growing almost impossibly out of a crack in  the sidewalk. She bent down and cupped the flower and gave it her full unconditional love and attention.  When the girl became a woman and had an NDE,  during her life review she discovered that it was this  incident with the flower that was the most important  event of her entire life. The reason was because it  was the moment where she expressed her love in a  greater, purer, and unconditional manner. This  example of a life review by Kimberly Clark Sharp  is one of my favorite examples because it shows i n a dramatic way a principle that appears in many  life reviews. The principle is that the actions we  think are unimportant may turn out to be the most  important act we have ever done in our life.  Unconditional and spontaneous acts of love are  the greatest acts we can perform - even if it is  directed at a tiny flower.

Quantum Vacuum (Poor Richard's contemplation!)

The Vacuum

It appears to be much of nothing
from the perspective of a separate self
but from the perspective of the vacuum
it certainly is not a thing but is filled 
with infinite potential to manifest
by rising in the forms of thoughts
and sensations and perceptions...


Vacuum state
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In quantum field theory, the vacuum state (also called the vacuum) is the quantum state with the lowest possible energy. Generally, it contains no physical particles. Zero-point field is sometimes used as a synonym for the vacuum state of an individual quantized field.

According to present-day understanding of what is called the vacuum state or the quantum vacuum, it is "by no means a simple empty space".[1][2] According to quantum mechanics, the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence.[3][4][5]

A Girl Finds Beauty

A Girl Finds Beauty

(Thanks, CP!)

This is a lesson on Beauty..

The five senses point to the real objects

we claim as the body and mind and world..

The real objects are:

Seeing, Hearing, Tasting, Smelling, Touching

and are experiences of all we know or can know.. 

The appearing objects of the world 

such as the Taj Mahal 

most believe and assume are separate

but the separation is illusion which 

limits and locates and imprisons..

So..the Grand Canyon displays beauty 
only when the separation collapses
and seeing is at last experienced
as simply a coloring of Self..

The girl was an inspiration..!

The Right Hand

The Right Hand

This is a story about grace.

So many years ago this person

(it is not recorded whether man or woman)

had the rarest of maladies:  an awareness

of only a left hand..

To which she adapted and gained leftist skills

but the longing for that which was missing

became more and more painful with passing days..

Many searches undertaken to find what was missing

ended with disappointment and only more yearning..

One day a chance meeting with an old friend

led to a conversation on a park bench..

The friend was aghast at the suffering and

 stories of searching most painfully recounted..

Her council was to cease searching out there

and draw attention to that very close at hand..!

Finding in that moment the peace

he had sought..was like grace..

He knew then that grace was recognition

a recognition which is at hand

in all times and places...

Work and Freedom

Work and Freedom

Life seems to be work

until we extract from work

that which is not work..

The extraction points

to a new Identity

made of equality and grace..

Then we are called

to re-enter our work..

To find our work within

not we within our work..

On this path:

Freedom is born...!

Oasis

Oasis

After April rains

the desert dryness

apparent this spring

has unfolded

in green expression..

This new coloration

a multiplicity

 of leaf and bird

coloring bleak dryness

as mind and world

emerging in Spring...

Choosing

A fear driven life is a violent life; and all fear comes from the identification with the mind (thoughts) and body (feelings) and the intense desire to preserve them. That is why this teaching has been called a prayer for death because one must experience themselves in spite of mind and body by merging with the Absolute; and is made possible by Divine Grace alone which chooses the devotee who has chosen It to the exclusion of all others things.

The Perennial Tradition

The Perennial Tradition

This Tradition seems lurking

as the real Theory of Everything..

It is a pull toward recognition of

the real Self which we all are..

This sacred Tradition

places our Self and our

seeming self-separation..ego

in a perennial dance 

which has always been so..

This is the Illumination within

which all of our religions their

 temporary patterns express..

Science has neglected 

this Formula until it was found 

that an Observer has been hiding

and must be revealed 

for further advance..

We seem to be on the threshold

of a startling discovery:

Our Self is Everything

the real TOE for which

we have perennially 

been seeking...

STRETCH (Awareness)

Friday, April 21st, 2017...10:00 to 11:30 AM
Myron Stratton Home

Facilitator:  Charlie Coon

"It may seem that, due to the limitations of language, the word Consciousness (being a noun) may suggest that it is an object. However, Consciousness is not an object; it is that which is aware of all objects.

That would make it a subject.

However, even that is not true, because a subject distinct from its object, would also be some kind of an object.

Therefore Consciousness, or ‘I,’ is truly beyond the subject-object. The mind simply cannot go there, let alone adequately express it, because the mind is itself an object and has no access to that which is prior to itself.

So two alternatives are open to us: the first is to remain silent on the subject and just live one’s experiential understanding from moment to moment, expressing it in all one thinks, feels and does and secondly, to use the rather clumsy, abstract symbols of language as sensitively and creatively as possible in an attempt to express that which can never be truly expressed in words and yet is, strangely, the only ‘thing’ that is ever being expressed.

What is unique about the word Consciousness (and any of its synonyms such as peace, happiness, love etc) is that it points towards that which is not a noun or an object, towards that which truly is, in contrast to words such as ‘tree,’ ‘body’ or ‘concept’ which all point towards objects which are never actually experienced as such.

In this way it could be said that the word Consciousness (and any of its synonyms) is the only true noun because it indicates that which is real rather than that which is imagined.

Having said that, I am not advocating the use of the word ‘Consciousness.’ It is just one of many ways of trying to indicate the nature of reality which is beyond all words.

In that respect, to try to find a verb rather than a noun in very legitimate. We might say something like aware-ing, knowing (not conceptually), table-ing, chair-ing, laptop-ing, sky-ing, but even that is not really accurate…..sooner or later we fall silent!

(from Rupert Spira's Q & A's on his website)



“This perpetual longing for happiness—which can, by definition, never be fulfilled because that very search itself denies the happiness that is present in our own being now—condemns us to an endless search in the future and thus perpetuates unhappiness. It is for this reason that the poet said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” 

― Rupert Spira, Presence: The Art of Peace and Happiness


The Daily Quote from Rupert Spira, 8th April 2017


At the back of the mind is a doorway with the words ‘I am’ written above it. First, turn towards that doorway; then walk through it. Turning towards it is an activity of the mind; walking through it is the dissolution of the mind. That dissolution is the revelation of our essential nature of ever-present, unlimited Awareness, the abode of peace, happiness and love.

Subjective/Objective

We are often advised:

be as objective as you can..

let's have a rational discussion..

just the facts, Ma'am..

There is an assumption

under all of these cautions:

I..my perception..discerns

what is real out there..

There is the rub..!

Perceptions find appearance 

never the object..!

We experience perceptions

and thoughts and these

are our objective world..

The result?  

Thoughts and perceptions

are temporary colors of an

impersonal  "I"

leaving subject/object
dissolved in light...

Sinkhole on Chestnut Street

Sinkhole on Chestnut Street

An apparent disturbing trend marks

increasing numbers of sinkholes worldwide..

One attribution points to the electromagnetism of the sun..

Perhaps also pointing to a recognition that in truth

we are citizens of the sun..

The earth seems as separate and other with so many

fissures and flaws and temporary landscapes

which come and go..

Yet the sun shines with all apparent stability

lighting our daily background..

But then we recall those cosmological warnings

of the sun's eventual demise

blinking off..departing..in countable time..

So..the perennial question recurs:

what does not come and go as does

the sun and the earth marked with

that Chestnut Street sinkhole...?

Mary and Martha (Version 2.0)

Mary and Martha (Version 2.0)

Mary falls asleep in her warm bed in Colorado Springs..

She dreams she is Martha working in a kitchen (where else?)

of a sleazy cafe in Denver downtown..

Martha is often disgruntled with her burdening job:

low pay, understaffing, surly customers, 

and no health insurance..

So..on this night Martha reached the end of her rope..

And let out a bloodcurdling most piercing SCREAM

so loud that it reached Colorado Springs

waking Mary from her fitful sleep..

We leave these two (really just one!)

with Mary's awakening cry:
Oh My God..!

I know now that I have been Mary

all night long...! 

(with my thanks to Rupert Spira..)

A Lenten Message

A Lenten Message

2000 years of theology and science

 double down on assumed separation..

The assumption lies in hiding 

prescribing limits and locations..

Worshipful observing and measuring

lodges us in an imprisoning body..

A crisis arises when it is found

we cannot locate this body or prison..

Of a sudden a veil is removed and

separation melts as ice in warm water..

Yet now we can celebrate separation

with a body finally set free..

The cave is empty and we are not

the person we assumed to be...

Emptiness

Emptiness

From our perspective of separation

an experience of vast emptiness

 can fill us with fear and with terror..

Why?  Is it that our identity

freshly discovered finds ourself

not the limited located self

we have assumed and believed

for lo so many years..!

Might it be our introduction to:

I am...!

After a long winter, a long and at times heavy season of Lent, and the retelling of the events that led Jesus to the cross, we come this morning wanting an encounter with the risen Christ. But Jesus is not in Mark’s Easter gospel. Instead we only have the women who in their terror and amazement run away and tell no one. What we have is simply an empty tomb, an empty cave, an empty hole. Empty.

(excerpt from:  http://immanuel-amherst.org/the-emptiness-of-the-tomb/

SPRING

SPRING is chirping..

just now..a SPRING walk..

SPRING forms a birdsong

imagined on a high branch...

No skill in naming the bird..!

Attention shifts to the warming sun

to the sprouting dandelions

to shining white on the distant Peak

to melting of  recent snow:

these many SPRING songs..

I am SPRING

shaping and returning

as each footstep

rises and falls...

Choice

Do we have free choice?

A question which halts and stumbles..

The head says yes and imagines

those twists and turns so far..

The heart says no and invites a plunge

into its infinite abode..

An abode in which we experience

that impersonal Self

into which the head choices

fall and dissolve...

Rocking Chair Across the Room

Rocking Chair Across the Room

Quaint and pleasing to the eye

seemingly separate and independent

as I observe from my seat

across the room..

Does this story end?

The appearance..what else

might be said? Well..

Sinking into oceanic wholeness

the chair now is experienced

as an impression within and as

seamless wholeness..

my real identity
and yours...

pixel possibilities

pixel possibilities

This very small image element
is a projection of the computer..
Seeming objects are projected by
let's say: a subjective computer..
Resolution in variation 
clouds and clarifies..
These apparent visions of science
assist in our meditations..
Consciousness as the computer
comes first 
initiating multitudes of pixel dances..
RedGreenBlue express temporarily
an image made from the computer's 
infinite pixel possibilities.. 
Consciousness contains our life pixels
projecting our low resolution dreams
and higher resolution wakefulness..
Why important..?
Our seeing is beginning to upstage
our illusory focus on those pixels... 

pixel    (pĭk'səl)    The most basic unit of an image displayed on a computer or televisionscreen or on a printer. Pixels are generally arranged in rows and columns;a given combination among the pixels of various brightness and colorvalues forms an image. ◇ A subpixel is one of three components of apixel used in the representation of a color image. Each subpixel representsthe contribution of a single color—red, green, or blue—to the overall colorand brightness of the pixel.  Our Living Language   : The images on a computer screen arecomposed of tiny dots called pixels (short for picture element). The computer controls each pixel individually. Most monitors have hundreds of thousands, or often millions, of pixels that are lit or dimmed to create an image. Each pixel of a color screen is made outof one red, one blue, and one green subpixel, generally arranged ina triangle, adjusted individually to create the combined effect of a single color but treated as a unit pixel for determining resolution.Pixels vary in size according to the size and resolution of the monitor. Smaller pixels provide higher resolution, and therefore sharper images, but require more memory to store the color and intensity data of each pixel and more processing time to refresh thescreen. Resolution is frequently referred to in terms of dpi, or dotsper inch.
