“Our emotions mirror the state of spirit of those entities with which we can combine... later. We sense and mirror things like connection, luv, fear, unsustainability, doubt, fragile entities, etc.. We mirror the state of the components of what is possible. And since those components are organically evolving as mirrors of our spirits, too, slowly they merge in unity and transcend emotions into spiritual embodiment.

“Our emotions reflect the status of development of the unity of our more complex entity. When fulfilled and combined, emotions fall away and being is all–which is also infinite possibility. Ponder that!

“You mirror the state of your becoming... ARF. He mirrors a dog... arf arf. It’s sort of freaky.

“So, it can be said that the process of Spiritual Persistence is the spiritual act of complexity to embody, as it were, the spiritual possibilities which transcend individuation, and hence also emotions. Unity is not a state of emotions, but a state of spiritual being. That’s enough.” (2/18/2009 - V#147)



“Every spirit arrives at a level of complexity thinking or sensing itself as complete and fulfilled–a lingering aspect of the fulfillment of the preceding level. ‘O, I got it!’ But then it dawns on the spirit, ‘I ain’t got it,’ and a sense of failure and incompleteness comes. ‘I’m not,’ and ‘I don’t know how’ or ‘Why?’ Then comes the eclectic stage, wherein the spirit chases after what appears to be fulfilling for others. And then a stage of trying to sense the incompleteness of oneself, and the focus is on what’s missing, not what will fulfill. And then the stage of focusing on fulfillment. And lastly, a stage of focusing on wholeness–such that the apparent gaps reveal their own fulfillment. Spirits at the last stage don’t have to travel, either literally or figuratively, because they sense the pieces yet to be integrated are already within. And that’s good enough for now.

“First-timers come with that sense of being fulfilled, and 2 and 3 are slow dissipations of that notion. There’s a song title: Dissipations of Those Notions, which could also describe shoplifting of buttons.

“So, if it wasn’t in your own backyard..." (2/24/2009 - V#148)



“All these levels of complexity, they’re not levels. Organic entities don’t have levels. For example, a 4-year-old and a 40-year-old are both alive; they are in the life level. But, being organic, they are not really in a level. So, complexity is not about levels, but states of awareness... ‘not provinces, not commonwealths, but states’... CT, get a grip!

“Complexity only refers to the apparent ability to move into relationship with a greater portion of All That Is. And if you think levels, then I gotta tell you that there are spiritual combinations which relate to just as much and just as little as you do, and they aren’t even close to being human, much less carbon-based. There are wave forms that have the relational equivalency of human beings. In other words, they are as complex as you and me and him... but not him. ‘O.’

“If the whole can be created in an infinite number of ways, i.e., not linear, then there are infinite forms of existence as complex as you and me and him... ‘and me?’ No. ‘O.’

“And here’s the clincher: Some portion of you and some portion of any other complexity of equal standing can make another equally complex thingie. And so, at any given state... ‘but not province’... shut up, CT... except for ultimate isolated differentiation, we all participate in an infinite number of complexities. Forget parallel universes. Those are just settings. I am talking about beings, not settings, and beings in the spiritual, not organic, sense. We are an array of complexity, not just a statement of complexity. And any one expression is just as valid and real and complex as any other. Tell that to the Treflingos of Deponana. They are dogmatic about singular complexity! Won’t they get a jolt. And they are so boron-based--wavy little boron devils. Enough for now. But no, here’s more:

“Every apparent discrete physical state... ‘not...’... shut up... is just one expression of a larger array of meaning. And the advances of physics are nothing more than perception of more of the array, which, since the array is infinite, means we will never solve the world and its secret codes. Physically. Even the theories of physics aren’t linear in their perception. Now I’m done. ‘Not even close.' For now. ‘Ok. What about me?’ It’s all about you. ‘O, ok. Thanks.'” (3/30/2009 - V#149)



“I am greeted with death and all its possibilities, while most over there get only life with its seeming limitations. Think globally, act universally.” (5/13/2010 - V#150)



“This is the scoop and poop. The meaning of physicality is the manifestation of the values of our spirits. We go to bodies to make physical what we espouse in spirit. And if we don’t live out our values in life, well duh, you don’t have those values in death, and therefore not in spirit.

“Quickest route to disassembly is to live physically in contradiction to one’s spiritual understandings. If you can’t get your life together, then why should your spiritual entity stay together?

“Life is a test of the stability and meaning of your spiritual entity. It’s like taking a recipe and mixing the ingredients and putting it into the oven. If it comes out as a good dish, then you keep the recipe. But if it doesn’t work out in practice, bye-bye recipe--not goodbye ingredients, just goodbye that combination and process.

“Here we are mindful of the evolutionary and creative recipes of spirit that we can become, and there we try those recipes out. And if someone tries to be all spiritual and shit but does not put anything to the test, then their cookbook–no matter how well illustrated–is chucked out. ‘We have had to do this with many who call for too much allspice.’ CT. ‘They fear it, and those who use it hate it.’ CT, go! ‘It’s the universal spice. Don’t need any others.’ Oy.

“So, that’s what I have to say. If you don’t engage the world while you are physical, you won’t engage here when you are spiritual.” (6/9/2010 - V#151)



“The Genesis is not an act of creation but a shared awareness.

“Ok, here goes: All That Is already knows all potential--from the ultimate unity to the greatest separation and isolation and lack of connection. To look to the culmination is to learn nothing, but at the other end of the process, to see beyond oneself... wait, he’s a fat elf, I can’t see beyond him... so, to glimpse possibility where there seemed none is the start and continual continuation.

“It is in the growing and knowing beyond what is already known that existence is fulfilled. A Great Lake is more informed by the first droplets of water behind the dam than by the full basin of time. So go for the essence.

“The fulfillment is not the learning. Pith shit.” (8/12/2010 - V#152)



“Here’s a Point to Ponder: Is the act of connection changed by the awareness of it by others.

“You better say ‘Yes, or else something is lost to the universe.’ The awareness becomes part of existence, and every part of existence is changed by the whole. So, the act of connection is changed by the external awareness of it.

“The Primal Exemplar Connection then smiled, and all else is existence plus it.

“Ponder.” (8/19/2010 - V#153)



“ ‘Amalgamated Spirits are up 3 points in active trading’.... no no no no no, but thanks, CT. Let’s explore a new option, in which two or more--but generally two--spirits operate together in one physical expression. Huh. You sometimes call that schizophrenia. And you would be right and wrong.

“When those different spirits work without real knowledge of each other, or in a dependent way that is a matter of existential security, then that’s the right term. But when the several spirits work in sympathy and harmony with each other to get more done then either would have done alone, it’s not the right description to call them schizo.

“An analogy: The Hatfields and the McCoys formed a destructive but defining unit. On the other hand, marriage at its best brings two families into a new relational unit that enhances. So, with constructive amalgamated spirits... ‘a wholly owned sub....’ CT, don’t go there... we have two spiritual entities which come together--not forming greater complexity, but rather greater coverage.

“They work as if a single unit, but on the simple plane of complexity of each of them. I will give you an example: Rosey Grier, football great and knitter. Many of the great spirits are actually great spirits. And the more complex move on, but the compound ones are still here, and their compound nature hints at greater complexity. They stay together one life or more, but there is no rule. Some find it great, and some can’t take it anymore until they learn and remember more by themselves, because this takes spirits with great sense of self.

“The most complex people you would meet are usually amalgamated... ‘Clothing Workers’... CT... spirits. And they appear somewhat mysterious because people say ‘I get some of what they are, but some of them is an enigma.’ Lincoln. Gandhi... Gandhis.

“Just a new small subset of spiritual embodiments. But they are a glimpse into what is possible.

“And in late news, consolidated spirits lost ground. For two or more spirits to attempt consolidation without a change of complexity is what is schizo. Amalgamated and consolidated ain’t the same. And enough for now.

“See, spirit connection is a matrix, not a progression. O the stories I could tell... and will. And about seemingly unique nexus in the matrix.... “ (8/26/2010 - V#154)



“Ok, what’s the point of amalgamated spirits if the parts don’t remember the whole.

“Ever heard of catalysts... grrrr. Ok, dogalysts... f f f f. The amalgamated spirits assist each other in learning and remembering, but don’t need to get the same 'l and r'. So the combo is powerful because it empowers the components, not because it combines them. They do not become 1, they become 1 plus 1--which is not only more than 1, it’s more than 2. ‘About 2.185.’ CT. ‘86? 87? How about 0.’ He knows what I mean because he and I are more than 2.

“Ok, you say, but aren’t more complex entities more than the sum of their parts? Yes and no. They would seem, by our reckoning, to be so. But in their own perspective, they are not yet. They are just 1. We think that 8 entities combining into complexity would produce 8 plus, but it only makes 1. The scale slides with the complexity. Don’t measure former simplicity against complexity. That’s a fruitless task... flowerful but fruitless.

“I think I have given you much to ponder.” (8/31/2010 - V#155)



“A compound spirit is an amalgamated spirit with a twist--two integrated spirits, as opposed to simply co-existent. Not into greater complexity, but into greater capacity; can deal with more, but on the usual planes.

“A compound spirit is not creating a pseudo-complexity, but has a depth factor not usually seen. It’s like the difference between a one-gig dual core machine and a one-gig one core with another one-gig one core. One can do more complex things, but the other can do more things.

“It’s like reaching the end of your rope and finding you have another coil. When the forces of darkness push a compound spirit to what should be its limits, they find it’s right in the middle of its resources. A compound spirit never really says anything radical, which would be more complex, but never says anything desperate or without thought. But that style is bewildering, yet it is reminiscent of FDR, which is what you need to weather the storm. He worked from core values tirelessly. ‘That’s why his car ran so rough.’ Go! Oy.” (9/16/2010 - V#156)



“Are amalgamated or compound spirits part of the same entity-to-be? No. Each are using the same life for different lessons, and so they might end up together next, but the odds are slim. Of course, they’ll end up together eventually, and the common memories will produce an extra spark of awareness.

“Spirits with more than one thread of memory but linked in development, are the people who have heightened spiritual awareness. Amalgamated spirits have heightened spiritual expression. So, some pieces of each of you must have had compound or amalgamated relationships at some developmental point. Just another tidbit from the infinite wisdom of existence.” (10/1/2010 - V#157)



Question from a Facebook friend: In the beginning it was all naught and then it was capable to perceive. What made the capability?

“Experience. The naught it was all naught... ‘and some were even naughty.’ CT! F f f f. And the naughts in their separateness experienced random interactions--like people, thinking they’re in a dark room alone, randomly bumping into others they didn’t know existed. And the experience makes them aware of other existence and the potential for not only contact but connection, and the whole shebang rises from there.

“The seeming nothingness of aloneness or solitary energy existence, becoming knowing of more through experience. And the rest would be trivial to show, and the source of every religion. Am I saying religion is trivial. In a way, yes, because it trivializes the greatest part of existence by robbing it of its meaning and putting that meaning into God. Back in the dark room, it would be like two alone people bumping into each other randomly and finding connection, only to be told that they hadn’t created the connection, it was the work of some force outside the room. Yeah, right, sure. Another wee tad.” (11/4/2010 - V#158)



“I want to confuse you with thoughts about hierarchy. When states are considered subordinate, then you have hierarchy. But when states are, in fact, states of complexity of an ever-emergent unity, then there is no hierarchy! Because the whole contains all parts and all parts mirror the whole.

“The whole cannot exist, be, have reality, function, without the parts. But the dominant can exist without the subordinates. A general can be a general without an army, but a leader needs followers. One is hierarchical and the other is not; it is integrative.

“With a Creator, the Creator can exist without any specific creation. It would be the Creator even if all this did not exist–subordination of creation. Now, on the other hand... grrrr... on the other paw... ARF (he is very diligent)... what rises up from the sum total of experience and awareness is integrative because no part is subordinate; all pieces and fulfillments depend on all others. See. Get it. Have it. Share it. Know it. Show it. Live it. Flaunt it... f f f f. Strut it. Enough pith.

“Nothing which could exist separate of a larger context actually exists. It’s a concept of the limited mind. It’s a neat resolution to the problem of not knowing--which is actually not being aware. Instead of admitting that we are in the infinite middle of the infinite process, and therefore can’t know it all, humans construct these little mind constructions as if they were real. 'I think and therefore it is.' But it ain’t necessarily so.

“Our capacity to think is confused with our capacity to think accurately. Remember Yul in the Ten Commandments: ‘As it is written, so shall it be.’ Sure. Right. We like our absolutes.” (11/7/2010 - V#159)



"The greatest truth is meaningless if it can’t be experienced.

“All experiences must contain truth. There is no such thing as unnatural... grrr? Well, you make a point there... ARF. I suppose that tofu turkey is an exception... woof... unless it’s smoked... woofé.” (12/26/2010 - V#160)



Question from Glenda: Rikkity, do you think we can access a parallel universe while in this life?

“We can experience parallel planes all the time and not-time, but we usually discount all but one, and we usually choose the one that’s easiest to understand. But when we were kids, we lived easily among and across several–more than one, a multitude, a plethora, myriad. We didn’t know we were supposed to have boundaries. But those teachers taught us! Grrr. That’s right, obedience training... ARF.” (12/26/2010 - V#161)



“Death is so unpredictable. Just the other whatever, a friend was moving along and wham, he’s alive! Never know when that will happen. Not like life has a schedule. When it happened, he did know. O boy, did he. I doubt he knew he would be she, and so dark, and so young and helpless. Choosing the opportunity implies intent, but not linearity. It could and does as instantaneous, wham.

“Ok, I chose this and am already in it and it’s already over but it’s about to start. Get out of the time frame. Confusing, you bet. But no more confusing than a subway map of Moscow. There are people who use the Moscow tube every day and have never gone on some of the lines because they can’t understand the map. It’s like religion for most people. So many places to go, but such confusing information. Well, there are the Stations of the Cross.” (1/16/2011 - V#162)



“It takes a great quantity of energy to focus spirit in a limited place and time. So-called 'God' seems to have infinite energy, only because that being is spread everywhere and always. If she were just in Peoria at 3:16 on Thursday the 12th, she would have very little energy to give out and do much.

“And ponder that. Don’t squander that. The more universal and timeless we become, the more powerful we are, in a sense. We don’t need energy from others. We aren’t using ours up on limited definitions and dimensions.” (1/16/2011 - V#163)



Question from Matt: Isn't the other side right here? Isn't our time right now? Aren't we the ones who are gone? To me it seems that we are dead and I'd rather know why people are afraid to live. Are we not conversing with the dead right now in a lively but flatlined conversation? Or is it there and then? If heaven is warm, loving and from within, then what the hell are we doing outside?

“There is no here and there, no now and then. It’s all together. But we perceive it as separate elements because at this level we are still dealing with differentiation... not to mention differentials. 'I demand deferential treatment.' You’ll get treatments, all right!

“So, if one stops seeing the phases as separate, then one can ask 'How do I fulfill the potential' and stop worrying about terms like living, dead, and gumbo. What? O.” (1/31/2011 - V#164)



Question from Matt: Is there a key in the realization of no locks?

“Nothing is really locked against you, except those gates you think require a key you don’t have. In a single pass through life, not everything will seem open to you. But just remember, that at a less complex level of spiritual existence you, in the fullness of being that, entities found all the openings needed to get to this level of complexity. And remember, you don’t have to open all the doors and gates and windows because then the goats would get out... but also, not all of them are for you.

“I give a trite example. You are in a college dorm. You need to be able to open the entry door, your room, and the bathroom, but not your neighbor’s room. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s room nor his key.

“We keep dealing with spirits who thought they should be treated better because they explored so much, and we have to say 'Why did you explore so much of another spirit’s territory and neglect your own.' And the light goes on, and they say 'Whoa'.

“And don’t try to force a door. Good sign you are not meant to go there. And give up the ego’s notion that humans have a divine right to explore anywhere they like. I can tell you, it’s not a divine right, it’s a divine pain! And the best way to miss the splendid show life has for one is to try to sneak into another theater.” (1/31/2011 - V#165)



“Reassembly is like spiritual counseling, so to speak. Yep, reassemble them folks. Just look at the spiral. They are the same coming and going, just assembled differently. And disassembly is more like auto crushing and smelting... I’m smellllting. You get back the raw ingredients to start over, but nothing of the former is recognizable.

“A question from Little Timmy: ‘Can you do the same with dynamite.’ No, Timmy, because it’s possible to have a recognizable piece left after the blast. Remember the experiment we did with CT? ‘O.’

“Reassembly while there is always the goal of every spiritual movement before it becomes a religion: transformation. That, unfortunately, gets transformed into salvation. You see, the people in power want it as a possibility later, not a reality now. Keeps ‘em coming back for more. Just like an everlasting Gobstopper is possible, but they won’t make them because you’d only need to buy 1.

“What would religions do if people found out they could get it right right here and now. But I come to tell you of the mighty power you mrphmprph... get your hand off my spirit. They don’t want me to share the secret. Let’s try to trick them. Sandy, what’s the secret. Woof woofe woofgghf. Damn, he got a few good bites in... snap. Ok, you’ll just have to figure it out for your elves.” (2/17/2011 - V#166)



“So, ponderable: It’s all up for wonder. If you aren’t amazed every day, you aren’t paying attention. Just that anything is is a marvel. Think of all the work that goes into being. And yet it all arises from within everything that is. Nothing imported. Fresh ingredients only. Food for thought for locovore thinking.

“So, when you unpack this, you will find many seeds of thoughts. Plant them well, and ponder them all.” (2/22/2011 - V#167)



“So, Fred is on Flight 231. It’s a plane. It’s going from New York to LA. And Sandra is on a flight number 1018. It’s a plane. It’s going from Philly to LA. Fred is flying at 35,000 feet. Sandra is flying at 33,000 feet. So, over Missouri, we have Fred and Sandra on seemingly parallel planes. Aha. They are not actually parallel, but good enough. Both are moving at the same speed, and the 2000 feet is constant between them. So, they are living life in parallel. But since their planes--and not there plains--will end up at different gates... or at least, we hope so... they may never meet.

“Now, Fred opens his case and takes out a manuscript he printed form the internet. And Sandra takes out a Kindle on which she has uploaded a manuscript from the internet. Both are titled ‘Learning and Remembering’. Hmm. Fred and Sandra both turn to an entry with a letter and a date at the end. Hmm. Same letters and dates. Hmm. They read, pause, ponder. At that moment, there is an intersection of parallel planes passing through their reading.

“Meaning is the intersection of two parallel planes of being. In any one plane, one can have understanding, but not meaning. Hmm. Meaning is the reduction of multiple understandings into a single understanding which reaches across parallel and non-parallel planes of being. Are the intersections of parallel planes of being in meaning their own planes of something? Sure ‘nuf.

“There are many intersecting planes of meaning in the matrix of existence. Are all of them real? Yes. Are all of them true? No. Hmm. Sandra and Fred are on the same plane of the words of the passage, and maybe of the meaning, but maybe not. Fred may find a different meaning than Sandra. Or it could be the same one, but with different meaning to Fred than Sandra. Hmm. Because Fred and Sandra, while sharing this link of meaning, don’t share the same reservoir of other pieces of the matrix. Now, in the fullness of being when Sandra and Fred know no separation, then the meaning will be the same for both. But as long as they are not part of the ultimate entity of connection, then their meanings might be different.

“And here’s the cliff-hanger: If All That Is contains all that is and is also all that is beyond containing all that is, is there ever a single meaning? Hmm. How will Flash escape the ray of death? Will he survive? More next time.

“Ponder that. And I will offer this hint: There aren’t any ultimates. Just beyond the horizon of any seemingly ultimate meaning, lies something more--like an unseen flight at 37,000 feet.

“And a question to ponder: Is there any essential difference between a physical plane of being and a meaning plane of being? And if so, for whom and why.” (8/3/2011 - V#168)



“All planes of being are real! Not just the physical ones. And the challenge at this level of complexity is to gradually transition from the physical to the meaning planes. Look at all the truly great, see how their names are fêted... no no no no... see how little the physical meant to them. They were slowly evolving onto meaning planes. They would rather follow an idea of connection that took them somewhere, than to travel. Yoda just sat there, but he also journeyed. And I say ‘slowly’ and ‘gradually’ because a sudden shock to the systems of understanding are often retrograde–take you back to... country roads? I hope not.

“So, we discern the planes of meaning, and we more identify with them until at last we suddenly realize how unimportant the physical is. Those who are getting this don’t fear death. And they don’t talk about salvation. ‘And they don’t blame the government.’ Hey, for once CT is right!

“So, not only follow the energy, but also follow the meaning. If something asks you to differentiate the meaning instead of including the meaning, don’t go there. Look for the planes of meaning. And yes, the planes of meaning that seem parallel have intersecting planes of a higher order--which are not at a higher frequency. Think bandwidth, not frequency.

“There’s something beyond meaning. Meaning is only a step--building block to more--just as the All That Is is more than the sum of all that is. And yet there is more than All That Is. Really? Sure. Because at any point of perception, All That Is is not all that is. When one gets a glimpse or understanding of all that is, one is then opened to more. When you see the whole sky, you are opened to what is beyond the sky. Just remember, in the movie Truman there was a door in the seemingly infinite sky, and a whole world beyond that. And once you get the whole picture, you know it’s not the whole picture. And seeing something that appears to vibrate faster, just means you become aware of a wider spectrum. And it’s all comparative. Higher than what? My vibrations are higher than yours, na na na na na. But if mine are higher, then there must be some still higher. It’s turtles all the way down... and up and over. Roger?

“So don’t think the meaning strands, which reveal meaning planes, are the end of the journey. It is meaningful in a plane of being and across planes of being. It could connect across points in a plane and seem like meaning, but it must connect across all planes of being to be really truly deeply meaning. All else is supposition and assumption, which leads to some very bad thoughts about meaning. Meaning is always trans-physical, but at the same point, true in the physical. All that is true in larger senses must always be true in smaller senses. If it doesn’t make or have meaning in life as we know it, it’s not meaning. Forget the supernatural crap.

“It’s all here now, but restrictions of here and now keep us from understanding it totally. But it is not absent, alien, foreign, or any other word needing to know i before e.” (8/6/2011 - V#169)



“I want to give you an example. So, you find yourself doing something routine, but you think about another time and place. Ever happen? And then you notice that every time you do that simple routine thing, you think about that other thing or place. You’ve just entered the other plane. Those two things are connected by a non-physical plane.

“Every time I eat Oysters Rockefeller, I think of Elton John. Huh. And if there is no apparent link, there always is, but it may not be physical or temporal. ‘I’d like to slap you up your temporal lobe.’ What?!? ‘Sorry.’ Who are you. ‘I don’t know.’ Mhhh. Hmmm. Doog. FRA FRA. Raedo. Yo... Whap... Oy. O dear. ARF ARF. Good.

“So, we experience these intersecting planes all the time. But we rarely want to be seated on intersecting planes! Is this a nonstop flight? I hope not. They aren’t serving food.

“So, I am letting the thought sink in. Assignment: Keep aware of experienced planes of intersection. Sure. As time and places go by, sense whatever other places and time–real or imagined–are contained or suggested therein.” (8/10/2011 - V#170)



“So, let’s take another look. We know that Fred and Janet have been reading the same book as Sandra. And we deduce a plane of meaning, although Janet and Sandra will never meet... ‘despite Fred seducing Janet.’ CT, get your mind out of the gutter. ‘O is that where I put it.’

“But what if those three had been reading three different books, but then had the same thought. Ah, super-plane. Yep, a plane of meaning arising out of a complex of initiating parts of other planes. Huh. Monotheism: See how it arose in very different cultures with different historic texts and tales... grrr... no, not tails. Woof. That’s a super-plane of meaning that is not dependent on its source planes. The shared book was in a common plane, but these are meanings arising from divergent and diverse planes and elements. ‘Yogurt is another.’ CT. ‘Well, it is.’ Next you will say flatbread. ‘Flatbread.’ See. Ok, enough.

“So, keep thinking about planes of being beyond the physical and spiritual. There are many that the physical and spiritual can share. ‘I don’t like sharing!’ Then go dance on the spirit plane. But dance really fast, it’s at a higher frequency. But a tidbit: 'Faster' means higher frequency, but longer wavelength. Just know that nothing spiritual can be really conveyed in physical terms. So, Swiss cheese is not a metaphor for anything important. But not all entities and experience link into other planes. Some just stand alone.” (8/14/2011 - V#171)



“So, the interplanar conjunctions may appear to be circumstantial, but that does not rule out causative. Whereas, the experiential nuances of the loci of planar conjunctions may appeal to a renewed sense of transcendence above the particulars of any given plane or set of planes, or even non-set of planes, QED, thus, what more need be said. ‘Bravo.’ ‘Well put.’ ARF!” (8/18/2011 - V#172)



“Keep pondering planes. And remember, they are never really planes, but just look like it when one is perceiving them.

“Ponder that... just as the flat ocean is never flat, but seems so when on it.” (8/22/2011 - V#173)



“Ok, put on your smart caps. All this talk about planes (and it might seem to imply a physicality about the spiritual and what we often encounter here, which is not a here but a being, yet y’all keep calling it 'here'. We keep hearing, but we don’t have ears and a sense of sound, but y’all keep saying ‘hear’) is that folks--which are not folks, but the spiritual expression of an energy information entity--like to act as if metaphors are reality. Here’s a new idea: Metaphor TV. Much better than Reality TV.

“Ok, back to the script. So, these entities allow us to understand that metaphors are being treated like realities. And, of course, metaphors are realities in a metaphorical sense. They are not fantasies. Yet they are not physical, and hence not bounded. So, when we talk about planes, we aren’t talking about planes but rather that which can be understood by reference to planes. Ain’t no planes here, babes.

“So, anymoo, take everything I’ve said about planes and remember it’s not about planes. In fact, every element of understanding, allusion, metaphor, and such is not a construct but an invitation to see the whole of being through lenses appropriate to the level of complexity. I mean, I can talk stimuli to an amoeba, and it has some meaning, in that voice waves might cause a seismic ripple in its protoplasm. But giving it a microscope to see itself would be pointless... and expensive, to boot. So, we talk about planes which aren’t planes, as a way to increase understanding of what is at the level of spiritual understanding possible, but it is never about planes, but what that concept reveals about the whole. And just as seismic ripples are given up for eyes and ears, so too planes will be given up for more inclusive concepts. And even the most inclusive concept will only be a guide to the meaning of the whole. So, a warning: Never mistake the guides for the whole. It’s not about the images of the pieces, but the shadow of the whole revealed as if pieces. Ok, pith done! Ponder.” (9/2/2011 - V#174)



“Just a note of pith: People keep speaking of here as a place of eternal rest. What a crock. This is a place of eternal work, but all one’s work results in fulfillment. Wouldn’t want to rest and miss that!

“It’s not that life is tiring, but that the sense of reward is too often lacking. Think about doing acts of love and meaning, and sensing their fulfillment. It would be like a teacher being told each day by all the students, ‘Thanks’.” (9/12/2011 - V#175)



“We are information in search of forms, and sustainable forms are best.

“So, we may express as different forms and see if they are sustainable, and then, if they are expandable. Can this form and that form complete a more complex set of information.

“We are in search of the most inclusive expressions of the information we are. And we can’t express our information fully in isolation. A verb does not a sentence make. O, yes it does. What? ‘Go!’ O. But ‘Go!’ means nothing if there is no ‘go-ee’.

“The number 3 by itself means nothing, yet it is information. But plug it into an equation and much more becomes clear... and the answer is Trenton. GW once was in Trenton... and M, too. Both would prefer to forget.

“So, information. But don’t confuse information with facts. Just don’t! Understandings, road maps, small little pocket schedules, bits of datum, sticky little orts of being, iotas of insight. Information is never form-specific, but it can be represented in forms.” (9/15/2011 - V#176)



“We spirits have to point out something to you: We differentiate... woof... to appear to you, but here we are just one giant spiritual soup–bits of me here and there, always on the make... no no no, always trying to make connections.

“Can’t do that differentiated because 'differentiated' implies rigid boundaries, and rigid boundaries are inimical to connections. That doesn’t mean we lose our sense of identity (entity identity), but that we don’t let that limit us. Physicality is all about limiting things. But since we don’t have time and such other dimensions, it’s all up... or down or over... for grabs. Get it.

“Every great spiritual leader taught this, tried to live it, got dead trying usually. It’s like people not understanding how jellyfish can be creatures... and how about the Ooze Monster. Tell someone you want toothpaste and they immediately think of the tube, not the paste. And unless they have original improved advanced whitening anti-gingivitis gel, forgetaboutit.

“So, we jellyspirits just blob out–seeping, oozing, but not confusing. You see, I still know what’s me is me. I don’t need the artificial constructs to keep that real. Ok, pith down.” (9/24/2011 - V#177)



“Did I mention bubbles yet? Spontaneous intrusions of meaning into otherwise nondescript planes. Explains Stonehenge.

“A bubble of insight and understanding arises in a seemingly normal plane of existence, and within its bounds are enlightenment--which stretches outward until the bubble of meaning can no longer sustain, and then pop, it’s like it was never there. Not an intrusion from outside, like aliens, but a bubbling of potential into a transitory existence for a short time and a specific locale.

“See, everything we know now could be known at any time, but it wasn’t, except for some places where it bubbled up like tar on a hot tin roof--a concentration of possibility so intense that it is realized, but only until that realization is stretched so thin that it cannot sustain. I’ve said enough for now.

“Don’t assume that major divergence from the ordinary comes from outside the familiar. There’s a PtoP for you. Don’t need aliens or spooks or ghosts or spirits. Possibility is always seeking fulfillment, and sometimes it gets so intense that it collects into sudden expressions.

“Seems random, but since everything is connected, how could it be random. Chaotic, yes; random, no. Evolving and revealing outside of either known or discoverable patterns, yes; random, no. And the score is No 2, Yes infinite.

“It is in the character of being, of existence, of yes, to want and to strive and to even fulfill all that is possible--and not just what is most probable, but all. It--and I mean existence here--will try anything to come more into being. It’s not a zero sum game. Hence, we exist in abundance. Ponder that.” (11/5/2011 - V#178)



“So, bubbles of understanding on the planes of sameness. Just saying.

“Watch this: A bubble floats along, then lits on a place on the plane, and the bubble dome remains while the bottom spreads out to conform to the plane, and we have a little mini-dome of greater perception and understanding. In one area. Check out history; see it is so.

“Meaning can shape itself to reality. So, for example, people often talk about a place being 'godforsaken', which means it contains no meaning. But abiding meaning is plastic and can shape itself to the conditions. In fact, a faith that is not pliable and plastic is a sham... or is that a bedskirt. I don’t know.

“If meaning is meaningful, it is not conditional, but rather conditioning. It forms itself into the circumstances, rather than stand off and make snide comments. Love can abide even in the most harrowing of circumstances. It does not require a scented rose or a dim restaurant or violins... o no, not violins! If there can be meaning on the other side of anything, then this must be true. Ponder that." (11/10/2011 - V#179)
