Well after what felt like midnight, I woke up, but only halfway. I found myself in the hypnagogic middle-world in between sleep and awake. I was very calm and observant. I remembered exercises I had performed in some years past in attempts to leave my body and astral travel.<br />
<br />
In those exercises, we would allow our body to become very relaxed and fall almost asleep, but remain alert as the body shut down to rest. Then, without moving the body, we would focus only our eyes on the corner of the ceiling, or with eyes closed, begin to feel ourselves astrally lift out of our bodies by using our astral arms to pull us up out of our bodies using a rope we visioned in the corner of the ceiling.<br />
<br />
Lying in bed now in a quiet state I began to feel the pulling up sensation. Suddenly my heart was racing very heavily in my chest and it felt as if all my surroundings became a whirring pool of cool feathered air and I felt lightheaded. Faster and faster the room was whirring and my heart was thudding inside my lungs. My body felt lighter and lighter, falling away and up I pulled out of myself. Like plunging up out of muffled water into air and bright sunlight.<br />
<br />
I was this silky slip of energy looking down on my sleeping body. All the sudden I looked very strange to myself lying there. Now that I was out of me, my body seemed...other. My life in that body seemed much less dramatic and complicated. I felt like a long deep sigh.<br />
<br />
Next to my body was my lover. Within his body I felt him gazing up at me and with a thought, I pulled him out into the room. I can hardly describe being with him like this other than to say he was the energy of the purest sweet spring water and very noble and simple. But also with innocence.<br />
<br />

We looked at each other and began to rise side by side above the bed into the room in a soft cloud of effervescent light. It felt like if cotton candy was a fluid light matrix. Then we merged. It's not like in the body where you think and discuss and decide. Simply in one pulse of a heartbeat, we two coalesced into one shimmering spirit vehicle.<br />
<br />
The trip is knowing that this memory fragment is like a nesting doll. One nested within the next and from the beginning of the story the "I" was already the "we" I now describe.<br />
<br />
Fall into a puddle<br />
an elastic bag of light<br />
drop farther and farther<br />
into the opposite of that which<br />
we will become<br />
in an electrical storm<br />
magnificent and seemingly eternal<br />
we listen to the echoes<br />
of the soft beating of<br />
butterfly wings<br />
dipped in paint<br />

hitting the roof of the bottom<br />
of the puddle<br />
a liquid net holds you<br />
like a jeweled aquatic womb<br />
released by resistance<br />
in another direction of<br />
free-fall<br />
gridded star systems<br />
recorded invisibly in the<br />
fingerprints of the hand<br />
of the body you just left<br />
Why must I be there?<br />
I ask, desperately<br />
drunk in the awareness<br />
of the everythingness<br />
Because you love this pinpoint<br />
that you are<br />
and you forget it is only one<br />
stroke of the picture<br />
<br />
Take Two:<br />
<br />
As this combined entity, I feel the awareness that "I" is the same point for everyone. It sits in the middle of my forehead. I remember earlier, in a dream where there was a tonight and I was divided into two bodies asleep side by side, on blue sheets, separating me from the whole of my own thoughts, feelings, experiences. Now I am aware of all that I have been in every body. These gateways. These journeys. These vessels. These plugins of God into the infinite God-experience.<br />
<br />
Bowing, a golden phoenix, wings covered with eyes, splayed. So complex it's nauseating...something's fragmenting, so many eyes, set in gold...something here is disintegrating....disoriented. Millions of eyes in the sharpest focus. The phoenix bowing and bowing, lower and lower, eaten by flames. With each eye still piercing, lower and lower, burning...something is flickering in and out...<br />
<br />
Suddenly I'm being poured into something. A mold. I look down at myself, on blue sheets, your body beside me. Lying in our bedroom. I'm panting as I return. Turning to my lover, you don't remember. Yet, your eyes.<br />
<br />
They peer through the darkness, set in gold wings.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11755052483532943912noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596369209162381005.post-72851216900244961362013-10-11T12:37:00.002-07:002013-10-11T12:40:05.677-07:00Hippy<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Yesterday someone called me a hippy. And I said, 'thank you'. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">What does that word mean? </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">You say it because I hug trees and want to be outside, because I talk to plants and the sky, because I'm an artist, because I don't pin God to one place, because I believe in love, because I believe in my power to create and commune. </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /><br />You call me a hippy and I say, 'thank you'. Because as a white American I'm re-connecting to my ancient roots in Druidic Ireland, Pagan England, to the Universal Earth Woman in me, to the bottom of the sea and the top of the stars and beyond into galactica.<br /><br />You call me a hippy and I say, 'thank you'. Because I believe in that spirit. The soul rebellion. The heart warrior. The earth goddess. The mermaid. The nymph. The healer. The crone. The shaman. The visionary. The unexplainable "Hippie" in the undefinable "New Age".<br /><br />You call me a hippy and I can accept that.<br />Because these terms are a dead lackluster label and under them I will sit creating beautiful things from the root of my soul that labels could never define.<br /><br />So when you call me a hippy I thank you sincerely. Because along with all the other people of the earth whose souls are rising up, I will be the hippy standing with them changing the world.</span><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">My Process:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Then I simply cut the tortillas into chip size pieces and fry in a pan of hot oil & butter until lightly browned,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
drain on a plate lined with paper towel and while still hot sprinkle with raw sugar and freshly ground himalayan salt (or any salt).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mash banana, avocado, a splash of cream of coco, some coconut flakes, lime juice, and a lil salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then top with chopped cilantro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time I might make it a little more savory to satisfy my spice tooth (like a sweet tooth but for spicy food) by adding jalapeno, onion, and maybe a chopped bell pepper...<br />
omg...<b><i>yum</i></b>.<br />

<br />
Marijuana,<br />
In my experience,<br />
is the medicine of the masters<br />
and I'll tell you why<br />
<br />
She is a woman.<br />
A jealous woman. Someone once told me that.<br />
<br />
The trick to lulling her equally,<br />
Sensimilla,<br />
is to love her enough<br />
that she feels<br />
no jealousy over you,<br />
that you will coax her into her<br />
mushroom vapor<br />
plume body<br />
<br />
that she may yeild easily<br />
into the yoni space<br />
<br />
In fact, not only has she been called jealous<br />
she is also possessive<br />
<br />
And she's worth it.<br />
<br />
I always felt that if I were a plant medicine<br />
as a female,<br />
in my earth body<br />
I would be marijuana<br />
<br />
She's the only woman I write poetry to.<br />
Why?<br />
Because she has earned my beautiful words<br />
on the blank pages of my mind<br />
and through her vines and sinews<br />
I will explore the many strokes<br />
given by the creator<br />
<br />
Because my mind she opened<br />
into a thousand spaces<br />
very gently<br />
and for all the right reasons<br />
<br />
I love her because she is my first love.<br />
She taught me the love of all green loves<br />
By never ceasing to be with me<br />
She came to me through<br />
a small glass aquarium of THC molecules swimming into my flesh<br />
softly bouncing inside the walls of my cells<br />
softening me<br />
as I expanded<br />
into every next me<br />
I would ever become,<br />
<br />
through her lightest touch.<br />
<br />
Someone once told me,<br />
the greatest power<br />
is with the lightest touch<br />
<br />
I'll tell you why.<br />
Because she captivates you so softly<br />
so naturally and in such a rhythmic hive<br />
that when you realize she is there in you,<br />
you just let go<br />
and melt into her<br />
softly and glowing<br />
vibrating alone<br />
in your heart<br />
and everywhere else<br />
<br />
and then once you are there,<br />
she leaves you there.<br />
she leaves you<br />
<br />
And this is true love.<br />
Don't hate her<br />
Mari never intended to be needed<br />
she only intended<br />
to show you<br />
the way<br />
back<br />
<br />
Don't you see?<br />
This woman is moon medicine<br />
earth medicine<br />
cool water in a rivulet medicine<br />
<br />
A silver bird<br />
a green vine<br />
a sticky secretion<br />
on the side of your mouth<br />
<br />
to always remind you<br />
she was there<br />
until you let her go<br />
<br />
and that's why I never<br />
let her go<br />
Marijuana<br />
<br />
Because she lets me give her my power<br />
and she lets me take it back<br />
<br />
so that i can make it<br />
into this poem<br />
on this book of plant flesh<br />
in this wooden cave of lights<br />
<br />
she always calls<br />
but never seeks an answer. <br />
she simply calls,<br />
just to let her fluxuating voice<br />
raise through the spiral airwave<br />
<br />
she's calling, soft and present<br />
quiet and pervasive<br />
her voice always ringing<br />
through your throat into air<br />
released through to your limbs<br />
into your earth and<br />
lifting you off into the sky<br />
to wherever else you wish<br />
<br />
and that's why I gave into her pull<br />
because she never lied to me<br />
she only rose<br />
from the ashes<br />
of my archaic mind<br />
into the light above<br />
my head<br />
<br />
marijuana<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The part of you that wants to shy away <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">and hide <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">that turns pulsing red when seen <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">and delicately <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">and reverently. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">But that secretly and deeply wishes <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">To create each other, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">so deep beyond the dried out, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">hardened <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You don't even comprehend what <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You maybe never even felt yourself <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">as God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Because you thought it would feel <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">so dominant <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">and instead you are surprised that you feel <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">like a child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You realize there is nothing to prove. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You can be experienced without <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">You feel so perfect. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The blockiness of time disintegrates <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
who is making a way for them?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are the dreamers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the ones dreaming with open eyes</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
living the dreams</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pre-digesting the raw substances of the void</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for you to consume</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The true artists are the ones </div>

who lose their minds,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that they are left with only this transmutable fabric</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with no other strands of doubt to grasp,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they believe the dream</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and they become the dream</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they bring the dream through the weightless fizzing broth of ether</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through the granules of the earth and the canopy of the sky</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
through the apertures of your eyes</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
leading into your soul</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and out into the reflection that is your world;</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they bring the dream to life</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a dream you lose yourself in</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until you find the other side of yourself</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they resurrect something never born</div>

don't trust the artist</div>

but let the artist be</div>

He understands that every religion has some truth in it, but not ultimate truth. And that's why every religion is neither wrong nor right. It's like they're all puzzles that (are) missing a few pieces. But when you combine the ideas and individual truths of all religions, it forms such a broader understanding of spirituality. <br />
<br />
Never let people tell you religions contradict each other. That is such a hostile way of thinking about it. They are separate interpretations of the same truth. It's like asking someone to explain how they feel about music. There is no correct way to explain that, but your explanation might resonate more with others than someone else's explanation.<br />
<br />
That is literally all religion is; A variety of explanations of how to return to ourselves, aka the ultimate truth."<br />

the company has been in business for about 3 years. My personal experience with
Salvia, and that of guiding people through a psychedelic experience with Salvia
goes back over 10 years. I first tried
Salvia when I was 18. It changed my life. I was so moved by the experience that
I thought everyone should experience it as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

creating safe and productive Salvia sessions which would eventually become
therapeutic healing sessions for his clients.
10 years later, his hard work and trial and error process is paying off
and what he can now offer is expertise. As
Mozz suspected as a young man of 18, his clients are regularly having safe,
reliable, and transformative experiences, tailored specifically to the
individual goals of each client under his guidance in therapeutic Salvia
sessions. Mozz has developed many happy
clients.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

let’s learn a little more about what a guided Salvia session with Mozz
entails. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="color: blue; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Mozz </b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">What
Salvia is giving you is an opportunity to explore your inner mental world. And
that is something that must be respected. It should be treated with reverence
and humility. That is a feeling that is very hard to find if you are concerned
with how you are perceived by people around you. My sessions always start with
about 45 minutes to an hour's worth of calming breathing exercises and guided
meditations. From getting to know a
person and what they hope to achieve from a psychedelic experience, I can make
sure that their Intentions are aimed in that direction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="color: blue; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Mozz </b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">When
I feel a person is mindful of where they are in their space and time…I send
them off. </span><b><span style="color: #333333;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/manzoor"></a></span></b><span style="color: #333333;">After
years of figuring out how to put somebody in the optimal state to receive the
gifts of Salvia, I have developed these techniques.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b style="color: blue; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Mozz </b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;">After
a few minutes in that state the person comes back and we talk about what they
experienced. After I feel like they have
expressed everything that they feel they should…I send them off again. Each jump lasts for about 5-10 minutes. I usually send someone off 3 times in a
session.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

inner-space is whatever is hiding behind your ego</span></i></b><i><span style="color: #333333;">…In essence (it is) a temporary denial of
your ego. As soon as you're born you
start forming a relationship with the world around you. You learn to transact
with the world around. As you get older the things you want get more and more
complex.</span></i><i><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></i><i><span style="color: #333333;">You
start letting the world know certain things about your identity. You make
decisions about yourself…You want to let the world know who you are…</span></i><i><span style="color: #333333;"> </span></i><i><span style="color: #333333;">That identity, that collection of
decisions, is what I defined as the ego…What Salvia does his cuts that off. The hope being that when you come back you’ll
have a better sense of what those decisions and those choices should be.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Interviewing
Mozz brought helped me see a powerful and intriguing way plan medicine is being
used in a therapeutic healing modality. There’s
a lot to learn about the use of plant medicine like Salvia. Ultimately we can perhaps be inspired to
revisit our previously held definitions for hallucinogens, about what can be
defined as alternative health and medicine, and ultimately to perhaps force us
to consider the role of sacred plant substances in the healing and
consciousness shift of our time.</span></div>

I'm trying to adhere to an elimination diet with no gluten, no dairy(except organic butter), no red meat and no eggs for at least a month and that means if I get the munchies I can eat basically nothing from the store. At 3am-ish I got everything I had out that was in the sweet and delicious category, mixed it up, rolled it into balls, tossed it in a coating and stuck it in the oven with some pieces of a chocolate to melt on top. And it turned out really good! </div>

There are so many good ideas I have for this recipe. I think next week I'm going to adapt it and make a pie crust for some berry tarts. Or do something similar to the idea above but with pecans, walnuts, maple syrup, and delicious stuff like that. I realized greedy decadent foods aren't exclusive to the no-no food groups. You can still be greedy as a vegan, vegetarian, or anything in between. :D</div>

<div>
<b>Love Letter from the Universe:</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
The issue is not getting what you ask for, the issue is getting in touch enough with yourself that you actually know what you're excited about so that you know <i>what</i> to specifically ask for. Most of us feel frustrated that we perceive ourselves to not have what we want and desire when in truth we have not identified or requested it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you know what you specifically want, you can ask for it and feel confident that you will get it and not be afraid to receive it, but the truth also is that many of us are angry about not receiving or having things we haven't even <i>asked</i> for. We are in fact identifying a feeling that we are aware we are not experiencing a full version of our whole self in following our excitement and that's where the production of the frustration emotion comes from but the lack of the awareness comes where we know we are frustrated but we don't know ourselves fully enough to know that we are afraid to ask specifically for what we want because at a core level we<i> know</i> we will get it. This is why on this planet we say, "watch what you ask for, because you might receive" and this is true. Although there really is no "might" involved. And the only reason we would ask for something and <i>not</i> experience ourself in the culminated reality of HAVING it is because as it is being delivered to us via the tunnel of our excitement we leave that tunnel and cease to take the excitement cues because we become afraid and we may do this for any number of reasons. Perhaps because we don't feel adequate to act out the reality we asked for, we don't feel deserving, or maybe it could seem to trap us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, maybe we are asking for the wrong things. Wrong in the sense that we are asking for a symbolic reality which is simply an avatar for a frequency state we wish to be in. For instance, if you ask to be a shaman your higher self understands that you are asking for this because of what vibratory signature, emotional pattern, or vision this word, image, and idea, creates for you. You associate this symbol or the title with a specific vibratory state that you would prefer. However that label itself is limiting because all titles and labels by definition are limiting and compartmentalizing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But simply understand that when you ask for something from a true desire to be that state or have that experience, your higher self understands far better than you do what it is you're <i>actually</i> asking for and that the compartmentalizing words, restrictive images, or sample emotions you offer as the request are merely SYMBOLS of a vibratory state or dimensional reality that is INFINITELY more expansive, dynamic, full, exciting, and satisfying than the mere symbols of that reality could actually be and all there is to do is ask in earnest and trust, with NO fear or hesitation or doubt that the small token you have asked for as a representation of your excitement is merely a small key into the true total reality that your total self understands you want.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>All there is to do is relax. You can have absolutely everything. Stop blocking things you desire from flowing to you simply because you are afraid. You do not need to be afraid to receive the reality you dream of having. You can and will have every tiny expression of that which you have dreamed in flawless sequence or non-sequence in an infinite perfect pattern suited distinctly to you as a soul expression; to you as a being at this point of creation.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Allow all of your joy and dignity and power to come to you understanding that your higher or total self will not simply package it, drop it on you, and leave "you" the individual physicalized person to express and handle it by yourself. In exactly the same way that it is and will be flawlessly and beautifully delivered to you is the same way it will be miraculously and magnificently unfolded within you in a completely perfect way.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Trust this. This is the design of creation, nothing more and nothing less and as a facet of creation this is something you are fully entitled to as a sort of "birth rite" of existence.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>There is absolutely NOTHING you must "do" or "be" in order to deserve or receive this. This is what you are. You are creation. You are perfection. Allow yourself to unfold into all of yourself that you've been wishing to be, for this is your right.</b></div>

I can't take full credit for the content of this post. I was meditating, then I was reflecting, then I was writing and quickly after starting to write, the words got away from me and were just pouring through so quick that my hand was hurting and I couldn't keep up. This is almost always the case with my writing to some degree or another- especially this blog in particular. That's why I called it Co-Creations because these are my writings where I am feeling highly inspired and creative and in the flow and during the creation process my content and my mind at some point seem to fade away behind a veil and I feel that I'm <i>watching</i> myself write something from somewhere else- some more expansive part of me, rather than just from the mechanism of my brain. Out of all my writings recently, this is the passage I feel least like was "Me", if that makes any sense.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyhow, I was meditating about manifestation because I have recently really began to understand how it works and to put it lightly, it has been working for me (through me). Things are manifesting so quickly for me that I started to get a little overwhelmed or stressed, even though I was seeing the things I was excited about manifesting in "real time", I guess I wasn't trusting that they would unfold as they should once they came (complicating things)...So this information and energy really relaxed me, healed this part of me, refreshed me, and put me at ease. Well really, it allowed me to liberate myself to just simply <b>be</b>. I know that at least one person at some moment will find and read this and it will serve them in some way.</div>

<div>
Unlock the key to loving yourself;</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you love yourself so much; completely, the gift you've really finally allowed yourself is perfect freedom. You've told yourself it's OK to be exactly as you are. You've stopped judging your process or where you are in it. You've allowed yourself to be vulnerable. You've allowed yourself to see you as beautiful and deserving. You've opened yourself up like a child, and have begun to trust yourself. You begin to feel that you can and will allow all good things come to you. All experiences of disappointment or neediness dissipate. Now that you are this complete sphere of yourself, so full of perfect love, you are so free.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are free to love others. And not just certain ones, but all ones. You free yourself to love every being, every reflection of yourself, you no longer need another to <i>be</i> or <i>do</i> anything. You now no longer need any other being to be anything other than everything and just exactly what they are; because you are allowing this freedom for yourself and now it is your joy to allow it in others. And as this sphere of love, you experience the ongoing moment of constantly unfolding into your own love and all of love. And as you emanate the unavoidable runoff of this supreme and colossal love, those beings in your presence, and across all reaches of the universe, have no choice but to feel free to love themselves more perfectly and to expand into even more love within themselves.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You see, selfishness- the negative connotation we've placed on the word-has been such a misonstruance. To be selfish is to be compassionate. To finally begin fulfilling and listening to oneself, to give into the compelling desire to embody oneself, to embody love, is to finally allow oneself to be complete and without need. Only once we are without need can our light and beauty propel the healing, joy, expansion, and love in others.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Only once we have allowed ourselves to be love, can we share it. Only then can we allow it to permeate all consciousness indefinitely, infinitely in every direction and through all dimensions of space-time and beyond. In this supreme unfolding, we feel the momentous pleasure of creation expressing itself as a </div>
<div>
profoundly perfect love story, </div>
<div>
from self to self</div>
<div>
from self to other</div>
<div>
other to other</div>
<div>
from every other to all </div>
<div>
all in creation</div>
<div>
in every state of beingness</div>
<div>
exultant in gorgeous love.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, be selfish.</div>
<div>
Love yourself so selfishly, so lavishly. And then all there is left</div>
<div>
is to marvel in awe at it's infinite non-subtractable wholeness,</div>
<div>
and to then set it free,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
give it away, as a bird</div>
<div>
gives itself to the unimaginable expanse</div>
<div>
of the sky</div>
<div>

<br />
Never once have I directly asked the universe for anything that it/i/god didn't fully deliver and at precisely the right moment. The perfect moment. The most creative, synchronistic, un-arbitrary moment.<br />
<br />
The WAY the universe delivers that which I have requested is every bit as beautiful a work of art as the THING ITSELF being delivered.<br />
<br />
Imagine how dope the universe must be that the actual method of delivery itself is a medium through which the beauty and rhythm of creation is being expressed.<br />
<br />
The One spares no expense contacting you. Ignores no method, excludes not a single medium through which it can and is permeating your consciousness.<br />
<br />
Tune in. It's not a matter of whether or not the communication is happening, only whether you are defining these impressions, excitements, and synchronicities as communications or not. They are. All of them. Throw out your previously held paradigms of the restrictive ways things must happen.<br />
<br />
Love is inclusive.<br />
<br />
Ask for it and relax and watch what the universe does. Still stuns me every time.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Story of the Girl God</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And How All Religions Come to Be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the year 2012 there was a girl who had an old soul, liked astrology and was in the new Age movement. Many people were. As much as this girl respected and valued her guardian angels, past life identities, spirit guides, animal spirit guides and the like, she still never quite took any of their word for it. Whatever they told her about creation, beingness, duality, paradox, space-time, oneness, etc., she still always paid mind to her strongest instinct and resonated most with those guides or forms of guidance which resonated with her instincts most strongly. Those guides which resonated most strongly were always the ones telling her never to trust them, but always to trust her own experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As she trusted her own experiences more and more and more, she found that her guides were beginning to appear very quietly when telling her to trust herself. More and more frequently this happened. More and more quiet did they become until most of them merged and couldn't be deciphered separately, and one of them was finally called, "my self", by her. "Myself!" the voice announced itself, "both by name and by function," it said. And so slowly and by the gradual leading of her own inner-self voice she realized that all she needed, wanted, had been, and would become, was very much contained within the walls of her own self and thus began to realize everything was herself. She thus did something more accurately described than by saying she BECAME God but more so by saying that she understood and remembered that she WAS God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you know the rest of the story. What do people do when they are around a person who believes themself to be God, behaves and creates like God, and lives comfortably and without anxiety within creation...like God? What do People do? They call this person "God". And they worship this person, and they follow this person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, this is very much so what happened with this girl. As soon as she realized that every layer of guides through her life, from religious symbols and systems, to "spiritual" guides and concepts, to emotional and intuitive understandings, then finally down to her very "self", was simply a channel through which she awoke into the next most expansive layer of herself, she had no further choice but to realize she, actually, was God herself. Himself...itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And shortly thereafter, she was discovered, and thus became God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was OK with it at first because she knew of course, from her experiences, that she was God, and in that knowingness, she also understood that all beings were equally God, only in different stages of remembering it and different expressions of it. So this is how it happened that, at first, she was innocently excited about being called God. She went to work right away showing and telling everyone around her that they were God too. "Uh-huh, uh-huh." They nodded in agreement when she told them the good news. But still they followed her. She showed them so many things. She showed them how to use pendulums, she showed them how to use meditation, she showed them about sacred art, math, and technology, she showed them about chanting and energy healing, because these were the permission slips which had helped her allow her self to remember who she was, and they said "uh-huh, uh-huh" and followed her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, a very important distinction is that this was only a small segment of society following this random God girl. Plenty of other people had or were God already and laughed in amusement, some scorned or judged, and some ignored. Some even called her evil. Many did. Still the followers followed on. She tried and tried telling them that they were God too, that if only they would ask, they would receive, that all of them had been made out of the same formula of pure consciousness as she, that none of them could even see God in her, had they not first known it in themselves. "Uh-huh, uh-huh" they nodded, and wrote down in their notes that these were metaphors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On and on they followed until one day she fell ill from all the pressure and died. So many questions, so many feelings surrounded her death. Some were devastated, some mocked, those who had believed her to be evil were relieved. After the initial shock began wearing off, things started falling into routine. But now the followers began asking, "what routine?" They had no independent routines because they had insisted on following her, which she never intended or encouraged. So now the followers had only one option, to continue following of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, Instead of doing what they did for one another when one of them died and saying, "oh go on! Let yourself be happy, she loved you, she would've wanted it that way. Let yourself be free," the followers instead said, "we must do exactly as she did. She was beautiful, she was amazing, she was God. This is the perfect way. This is the only way. No matter that she called us God and told us to find our own path. She probably didn't mean it, don't even write that down. But write the rest down." They created a book and a mandatory system of obligations. And so they carried on this New Age religion with the random girl-God as their avatar. And as she had done, so they did. They used pendulums, they used meditation, they chanted and practiced energy healing, they studied and memorized sacred art, math, and technology.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At times one follower or another would become curious about outside methods, other versions of God, or other formulas, but this person was always punished and was considered quite bad by the other followers. All in her name. And of course, as they would be expected to do, they defended their name. Her name, that is. Sometimes to the death.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how the random girl God religion was founded. And how all religions are founded.<br />
<br />
The End.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Talking to Self: </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>A Script </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Part 1: Fear Fields</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Person: </b>I guess I admit it, I do really want to be
picked. I want to be his absolute
favorite. Not in such a way that he can have
people entertain him in between him and me, but so much so that he can’t let
anyone else near him because I’m so much his favorite. I want him() to pick me and only me. I don’t know why there are genuinely people
who don’t need this and maybe they got it in another lifetime and in this life
that question is answered for them already, but I need that question answered
now. Why can’t I be your favorite. Why can’t you just pick me. Why am I trying to force a human symbol()l to
give me this answer. And why can’t I just
have him. To myself. And I’m embarrassed I turned him off to
me. I’m embarrassed I needed him and he
knew it. And I’m embarrassed that he
didn’t want me to need him. I love him
so much.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>What is it I want. I want him to love me and choose me. I want to be so special and I can’t figure
out how. I can’t figure out any of this
in my head. I seem to be becoming more
and more confused instead of finding any clarity. Is it such an obvious answer that I’m literally running
circles around it to avoid it?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>No matter how strong
and big I get, this is still the only thing that seems bigger than me. I guess
because it’s the biggest unknown I have yet to explore</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Self</b>: Because your
biggest “fear” is just a negative connotation you are putting on the greatest
unknown in your life, which really just means the biggest visible part of
yourself that you are viewing and therefore seeing as outside of yourself. You see it as outside of yourself because you
have yet to KNOW it, although you have created it prior to experientially
perceiving it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The greatest fear you have won’t leave you alone because it
is the greatest unknown to you. It is
the thing, the only thing, bigger than you.
You see it as scary because you see it as other than yourself, not OF yourself
and therefore fundamentally unpredictable.
It is only an unexplored creation.
It can only seem as a threat so long as it is being experienced as “other”
to you, outside of you. It’s always the
fear of expansion; the preference, really, not to expand in this now, that is
keeping you from facing this ‘fear’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is because, once it is being experienced, perceived, it
is now CLEARLY <i>the self</i>, clearly
shown to be part of the self because you have now merged with it via your
perceptual tools; senses, feelings, ideas.
A merging, or rather a realization of inherent oneness, is happening
when you steer your perceptual intake mechanism into the direction of the “fear
field” that thing which you are creating the illusion of being outside of
you. You line yourself up with it, face
to face, you with the energy (the “fear”), and start to feel all the feelings
that are a part of it, associated with it, let it all in, into your nose,
mouth, your ears, fingers, hands, toes, body, eyes, third eye, brain and
thoughts, feelings and ideas. It becomes you. Do you see this so-called ‘process’ by which
this “thing” you have perceived to be outside of you and feared, <i>how</i> it becomes you, or <i>how</i> you allow yourself to recognize it
as yourself? (You cannot perceive what you
are not the vibration of!) It becomes
you, integrates into you using one layer as a channel into the next moving
through the membranes of your outer and inner selves.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is why we have fears: to keep us from accepting BEING
that thing that we fear. As long as we
fear it, we can perceive it as ‘other’, but as soon as we face it, look at it,
we MUST feel it, taste it, experience it and as we are experiencing it we are,
as a SYNONYM of experiencing it, becoming it- in other words merging with
it. Your senses are merely the channels
through which you identify more of yourself through the membrane of your
individuality nucleus and out into your entire created organism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are not ready to expand you do not look into a fear
field because it is the biggest thing you are currently pretending is not you,
the biggest part of yourself you are
denying and saying ‘no’ to; hiding from, hating, rejecting, forsaking, denying.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God never does this. (God)
We are the sense of yourself who is denying none of yourself and just for now
you are avoiding some parts of all of yourself, but that’s OK. When you choose to pay this thing attention
you are in essence validating it, you are in essence saying you will merge with
it. You are now ready to merge with
it. Wherever your attention is, there you
are…literally! Your “attention” is
you. Whatever you pay attention to is
what you are.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You choose to pay attention and that is another way to say
that your perceptual intake channels are hooking into that thing (the fear
field) for you to transport it into the <i>you</i>
that you are exclusively recognizing as you, through these channels. For instance, your eyes are the channels through which you are acknowledging or pulling in the visual translation of
this unknown part of you. Your ears are
allowing the transfer of sound wave particles into those receptor sites inside
you in this reflective facet of you. This
is why every moment of looking and being seen, moving and being moved, sending
and receiving, every simple unsophisticated seeming moment and movement is
beautiful and what you would call sexual or erotic because it is a receptor
site of one ‘thing’ that views itself as separate, opening itself up and
allowing itself to receive the impression of the other part of itself which is
yourself just as much, but you are labeling it ‘the
unknown’ or a fear, until you allow the breakdown of the barrier you have
formed to define yourself as separate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It continuously wants your attention because it <i>is</i> yourself and you have told yourself,
(this ‘part’ of yourself) that you are banished as this facet of yourself. You have banished this expression of yourself,
from yourself, calling a facet of your own self, a member of your own body, NOT
your own body. So of course it wants your
attention. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until you admit it is you again, it will ask for your
attention. <b>Literally </b>though. Not as a
metaphor. Your senses are the secret
trap doors of you as an ego identity (i.e. you as an individual person). Through
them-any of them that you have learned to use- including those outside of the
physical 5 senses, the barriers of your ego identity are opened up to further
layers of you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Senses are the tunnels interconnecting you to different
layers of you just like a tunnel underground could connect between different
states in the same country.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The whole model is you, but you’ve almost entirely <i>nucleized</i> yourself into a central dense
formation (i.e. you as an ‘individual’ ego person) and you build this formation like a shell to
keep some of you in one compartment and the rest of you in another compartment,
just like if you submerged an empty bottle into a pool of water, you will not
start to see the water that flows into the bottle as separate water from the
pool as a whole and nor can you reason that you are separate from the rest of
yourself. There is not less water
because it is flowing into a submerged vessel.
The body of water as a whole remains the same essentially, only filling
a different shape with part of its entirety.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s say you’re a pool of water. Your name is pool. You’re
a pool of water. You want to try something.
You dip a bottle into yourself to see how you feel filling in an empty
vessel…you will not have felt that ‘that part of me that inhabited the bottle was
no longer me while in the bottle’, would you?
No. No more than you can reason
that your whole self expresses itself through you as a human and is therefore
no longer yourself in total. You are
still all of that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So bring it back to a fear.
If you fear it and you dive into it, you will understand it’s a part of
you inhabiting another bottle, go up to it, plug into it. Use your intake channels (senses) as tools to
merge with this other field of yourself, that thing can then no longer be
perceived as ‘bigger’ than you because it is now felt as <i>intermingling</i> <b>with</b>
you. In other words you are admitting to
all of yourself that you are all of you, more of all of you, from your
perspective, which we all are.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fear is rooted in the attitude of “I am NOT that thing;” denial. You can force yourself to convince yourself
you are not that thing so…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Person</b>: (Interrupting) If I merge
with the idea of this "fear" in my </i>mind<i>, can I avoid having to face the physical
manifestation of the fear in my actual physical </i>life<i>?<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Self: </b>If you view there is a difference, sure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Person: </b>But I do want the
opposite scenario of the one I "fear" to manifest in my real life! (Meaning in my
physical life.)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Self: </b>Do you?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Person: </b>Yes, I don’t want it
to end like this, on such an inharmonious note. But I’m not going to
settle for it the way it is. And I don’t
have to!(Becoming defensive.)<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Self: </b>You could accept it for what it is and stop hating and
blaming and being so unkind to yourself.
Then build another one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><b>Person: </b>Show me.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Self: </b>YourSELF is a mechanism you build to create the make-believe
experience that you are separate from yourself and your senses are the tools
you built into this mechanism, the channels you installed to let yourself back
in- so that you wouldn't have to be stuck in a stagnant illusory experience of
separateness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Until you deal with your big ‘fear’, everything else you
decide to experience will just be something you are creating to stand in the
way of the fear- to stand in between you and the fear. To keep you distracted from yourself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stop creating and using distractions, and
quit being one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

One of the most fascinating things about spiders is their sexual and reproductive model.<br />
<br />
The female in almost all species is larger and thus more powerful than the male. She never seeks to mate, but rather is always sought.<br />
<br />
The male approaches at a distance and gradually seeks entrance, first to her web, then to mate with her.<br />
<br />
Throughout the spider world, the act of sexual intercourse will very regularly culminate with the female eating the male who she has just allowed to mate with her.<br />
<br />
You have to wonder if the male, in his deliberate and humble approach, must know that he is walking directly into his death and that he is thus sacrificing himself to her and to the continuation of the life cycle.<br />
<br />
This makes me furthermore wonder if he makes this choice because the desire to merge with the greater energy and to experience giving his seeds of life to this cycle, must be such a compelling desire that the male spider surrenders himself to be consumed by her.<br />
<br />
His gives himself as an individual just for the chance to give what he was made to give to the whole, through her.<br />
<br />
It's really quite a beautiful model, if you ask me.<br />

<p>I'm tired of certain documents, in exclusion, certain places, people, or entities being called "divine" or "sacred" as if to specify that all other things are non-divine things.  Sub-divine things, if you will.</p>
<p>Right now I'm sitting in a room with a pregnant young woman and I know that a new physical life-form is developing inside her.  I find this astonishing.  Is she not youth, is she not a facet of the sacred divine feminine, is she not acting out the cycle of creation, of death and life?  In and of her very femaleness, bearing-new-life-ness, having a life-transferring-vagina-ness, is she not supremely sacred?  Of course, supremely sacred, supremely divine.  And uniquely so.</p>
<p>BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY SO! </p>
<p>We take books like the Bible, the Quaran, the Kabbalah, etc, and call them sacred.  Rightfully so!  But not <i>exclusively </i>so.  And not <i>especially </i>so.  No more or less than any other thing.  "Sacred texts", so called, are simply those forms of expressed information which all out HIT US OVER THE HEAD with concepts of divinity.  Yet the "sacred texts" that insist we too are divine, that we too are God <i>, </i>we hide away, banish, refute, destroy, outlaw.  And because we do not recognize our own complete divinity and sacredness, we then put these messengers on pedestals and say, "This!  This is sacred! This is holy!" And we <i>worship </i><i>it, </i>missing the entire point.  Missing the point that it was meant to serve as a reminder of who and what we are, not to serve as a master over us. </p>
<p>We fail to understand that this is merely a <i>reflection</i>, a very passionate reminder of our own divinity.  If the gospel song makes us shout, the sacred ceremony makes us cry, the prayer makes us silent in reverence, it is only because our divine self is identifying divinity within it's own reflection!</p>
<p>There is nothing that is not divine.  There is nothing that is not sacred.  There are only those beings unaware of their sacredness; Shrouded in the dark weight of forgetfulness.</p>
<p>Divinity itself, however, the micro- and macro-cosmic reflective beingness of it, can never be misconstrued.  The divinity of each sub-molecular particle, the field of nothingness from which it ultimately springs, can never cease to be it's own essence. </p>
<p>By definition all of existence must be sacred and must be divine.</p>
<p>You are perfectly beautiful.<br>
You are entirely perfect.<br>
By definition, you must be this.</p>

<p>You don't HAVE your perceptions, you ARE your perceptions.  Your perceptions are an exact replica of who you're choosing to be and therefore what you're choosing to create, whether consciously or un-consciously.</p>
<p>You can trace the perception directly back to yourself to see yourself making this choice of perception and better yet WHY you are making this choice, and see the complete process of how you are creating what it is you're creating.</p>
<p>You are, every "moment" of creation, very literally carving, yes creating "yourself" and thus your perceived experience, out of the vast fabric of nothingness from which every varying experience and expression of creation emanates. </p>
<p>Whatever we choose to carve, however expansive or restrictive it may be or in whatever direction will and can never be "bad" or "good", but what it can be is PREFERRED or NOT PREFERRED.  </p>
<p>By familiarizing with what our perceptions of everything around us are, we can become aware of ourselves as the operator of this creative engine and then have more fun surfing through this eternal adventure of experiences, leaving behind the frustration, fear and insecurity and rather feeling the love, support and abundance, knowing that this is always our choice.</p>
