"Talk about a tough final, try this (being dead). Judging your life, so to speak. It can be part of it... or not. Those who want a grade can. You want a choice? In some point you do choose not to get a grade. They choose not to give you a degree. So why do we think we choose, and no one else does about us." (12/17/99 - B#34)

"So listen. Cryptic message: Dogma is not always religious. And, in late-breaking news, nothing is new. This is about choosing your lessons. Choose, choose... huh. Only if you have unidimensional existences do you have choices like that, but in fields choice is not an issue. See, you proceed through all the opportunities and then the meaning is in the total pattern, not a single choice. Ok, try this. If it were choice and you were born in Cleveland and died in San Diego, then the pattern is a life trip from Cleveland to San Diego. But if it is about the 8 months in Pittsburgh and the 10 years back in Cleveland and the 5 years in Kankakee and 0 time in Kansas and 5 years in Florida, then San Diego, that's a different picture--much more complex, and not about a choice to move from Cleveland to San Diego.

"So, ask these people if they can identify a moment when they decided to be open to spiritual truths without any precedent events and subsequent events. Show me the choice, show me the choice... without it being in a field of experiences. And how do they know that what they call a choice is all played out and at its fulfillment. Tell me that... how. What they assume was choice and effect may be inconsequential in a larger vision. They say, 'I must have chosen these experiences.' How do they know the experiences didn't choose them. Was my death about you or me, none of us know. Maybe it was about arfer... rrrrrr. But still our pattern, our field, is enriched--even by that which was not chosen. Funny how everyone wants to be the subject, not the object, of the sentence called Life. Hey, that's egoism of the highest order.

"It's getting being and doing confused. If you are defined by your choices then you are always behind, because there are always more things you didn't choose than that you did... unless the field is infinite, and then in infinity no one choice any has meaning does. So, a logical problem: Stay finite and your choices are meaningless for lack of field, or be infinite and the idea of choice is meaningless for lack of context. Get it." (12/17/99 - B#35)

"Focus gives substance to the theoretical framework called possibility." (12/31/99 - B#36)

"Ok. Serious time, and I'm going to make some people mad at me. I'm going to speak my mind, ha. So there. Viable organisms... ta-da... don't just deal with the present. Re-creation and procreation are all about looking forward. If you aren't focused forward you are part of the past. And here comes the sticky part: Those who try to live in the present are part of the past. Don't glorify the present. Don't make it an icon over and against thinking ahead. So often the mellow people dislike and disclaim those who think about what will happen, but those with an eye on the future get to shape it, and living in the eternal Now doesn't. Now is only valuable as a starting place, not a stopping place.

"So when all those people who dream meet those who try to be only present, let the dreamers take heart; for theirs are the winds of change, which are the only true movements of being. In fact, living in the moment is just a copout for trying to avoid the demands of the future. The great teachings about being aware were not about just being aware, but cleansing what had been so one can move into the future without contamination. The current fascination with the Now is just a way to cover fears of dealing with a future. Ok, that should piss off a few.

"In fact, those who spend time thinking through possible scenarios for the future are the closest to the field of their being. First-timers are clueless, but the next several layers focus on the past--'Who do you think my great-grandmother was,' etc., etc. And in the middle of the process are the Now people, and in the more-ready-to-be-fulfilled-and-move-on is a renewed sense of future as important. Remember the garbled reports about Jesus speaking of the future. He was there, mon. Talk of future times has always been seen as prophetic, but it is just a quality of being into the future--all ready to move on, but with only a sense of this world for planning. That's it and that's all and that's enough.

"Being open to the future here is a sign of openness. You expect maybe you die and POOF you get it all together. No way, Jose. It is a process over many lives of changing lives. A leeetle here and a leeetle more there and a scooch there and a quack quack here and a quack quack there, here a quack there a quack everywhere a quack quack... Moo. So ponder that. Being too attached or focused on the Now, and where can you go from there but to Now--which is already past, bye-bye, ta-ta. But now I plan a hug." (1/25/2000 - B#37)

"So let's get serious, serious, serious... not Sirius. A test... a quiz... an exercise. Ask people to write down what important things they've done in the last 48 hours. Ok. Then being honest, rate which of them has to do with then (i.e., the past) and what with Now (i.e., present) and then (i.e., the future). Hmmm... future and past are both 'then'... not Now. Ok, so how many people were mainly in the past, how many in the present, how many sent me presents, and how many in the future. And what does this seem to say to them. How does it feel. Is it constructive, constrictive, destructive. Here's a little more about it:

"Many of the living seem to prefer the past, and there are 2 reasons and both have to do with change. Those without a profound loss think it will keep them at bay, and those living with profound loss think it will keep them from losing the loved one forever.

"Those who dwell on the Now are also trying to avoid the awesome and awful reality of loss. 'I won't think about then, I will focus on now and maybe meaning will catch up to me.' But here's the clinker: While we are stuck with the past or fixated with the present, our loved ones move on and they are no longer past and they are no longer present. But in our futures they hold meaning. That very place many fear going--the future where they think the loved one has no place--is the very place the loved one is. For it is there that our meaningful connections will be manifest again.

"So don't fear the future. It is not a place and time of loss and separation. It is the time and place of connection. But that's not the way I, or most others, think when alive. I was as dense as the rest. I worried about Papa dying first. But it wouldn't have really mattered if I saw him as part of my future, not just part of my past. And I had to get here and see him in bathing trunks here to realize that. O how many will mourn the years lost in pining and grieving when they get here. Regrets, no... more like 'duh.' So that's the scoop." (1/30/2000 - B#38)

"So, I foresee we will talk about prophecy. I think I will have three things to say:

"1. In a web of probable realities, as long as the prophecy is related to some piece of central reality, then it will come true somewhere in the web. If you hear something predicted and say, 'no way,' then it probably won't happen. But if it sounds at all possible then don't think it is wrong if it doesn't happen in your present perceptual reality. Hey, if it's in your field it is still true. Ok. Like I say I am going to hit a triple into right field but I hit one into left. Still in your field, ha... not at all coming from left field. So, that's 1. Prophecy must relate to your field, but not necessarily your current perspective. Ok...

"2. Many prophecies, once they are in your field, become self-fulfilling. Why. Because you look for signs and signals and unconsciously shape choices in their direction, and also because you stop looking for further outcomes once the predicted occurs. So maybe the prophecy is only a minor step, but you take it as a total omen. And...

"3. And this could be the hardest of all. The introduction of an idea into your system alters the system. And I will pose this in language for Dad. 1812: if someone said you could someday travel at 100 mph, that would be a prediction; but the very notion made its reality possible, so by 1900 it was possible and trains could go that fast. It may take time, but that which is predictable is then possible... but not before. And now we have many railroad prophecies. They call them timetables, but they are nothing more than prophecies of what will occur on any given day, more or less. Once the field of being admits the possibility, then prophecy becomes predictive reality. And that's all I have to say about that.

"Prophets are just people better tuned to the reality in which they exist, so their visions are more likely to become realised. Prophets are not connected to a higher plane but more connected to this one... and I mean this one--as in, the one in which a person is. Actually, prophets are specialists because they can focus the probable 'here' without the interferences of 'there.' Wackos can't do that and they then give off visions that are just wacky. Their prophecies may be true, but not here. But again, the test is: Does it become even a little possible in your thinking or is it just wacko. It could be possible in some people's thinking and wacko to others. Aha. It has to do with your field... or his field or her field or its field or our field or their field. You think the Jewish prophets made sense to the Canaanites. I don't theeenk so.

"And it's not relative. If it were relative it would have some relation, but we're talking separation of specific areas of field here. It is all part of one field, but not as we can know and understand yet. We still have separation because we still have gaps of understanding, and will until our entity is one with everything. Hold the mustard." (3/12/2000 - B#39)

"So, let's talk physics. Physics is based on the idea that there is a 'here' and a 'there.' Without that you can't have acceleration, for that depends on time and distance. So without time and/or distance you can't have acceleration. Ok. Now force is mass times acceleration, or mass is acceleration divided into force. Ok, so if you don't have 'here' and 'there' you don't have acceleration, and then you don't have mass. And if E = mc² and there is no mass, then you have no energy. So take Geritol and get your energy back.

"So, a puzzler: How to have a physical reality of energy and mass without a differential of 'here' and 'there.' Ok. You say, or someone says, 'We know there is a here and there because it always takes time to get from here to there, even at the speed of light.' But what about faster. Is there a limit. If not, eventually here and there collapse into one; and with that, bye-bye physical existence--at least at the formula level. So, how to speak of existence without a 'here' and 'there.' 'Parallel' doesn't do it, but 'simultaneous' does. And that's all I have been given to say, because I wouldn't understand shit beyond that and neither would you until we all move on." (6/7/2000 - B#40)

"There is always a greater unity available than is evident, until we reach ultimate oneness with All That Is. So, whenever anyone speaks of division or separation or difference, they are connecting themselves to the past--the lesser. A view of life without a glimpse of future and more inclusive models is always a sign of backward looking. True, those who look forward cannot always give details or proof, but in time they will show. What is proven and shown is past.

"So, when a dreamer speaks of vision of unity and can't give all the details, that's how it should be; and if they can give all the details, it's not a vision of the future. In order to find the unity we don't know yet, we have to be willing to enter the mystery. So, that's it." (8/18/2000 - B#41)

"Think about an existence where what you think about becomes." (9/23/2000 - B#42)

"Let me make this clear. I'm not here, but I'm here. A big issue. People say, 'What if when I die those I love have moved on. Then I won't see them.' First, here we don't 'see.' But if time is only a physical construct then it has no meaning here. So someone who has moved on will be right here waiting, too. And the person here or the spirit here or the entity here will seem to be like how you want it. Want a person just as they were when they died, that's possible. How about how they have become. That's possible, too. Any way they have or will be is available when time is not an issue.

"There are an infinite number of Moos here; you just connect to this one. There are also little Brindls and Rikkis and also Selenes and peeps you have yet to know--all existing simultaneously in terms of what you call 'time.' Is that clear. Did I or did I not make myself clear. So you get here and you get the Moo and you get that sassy 16-year-old and you get the monkey girl. All time flows. All that has been and will be exists, so why not. Hi, I'm Ericka's zygote. Want to meet Rick's sperm. Look, there's someone from the future. Hi. So it is not just that we appear as you see us, but that all of each of us is available. But take a number and wait, she will be out.

"You can see yourself at any point if you are open to it. I have glimpsed ahead some, but that does not seem to help. And going back is not that much help. Look, I was thinking about how much fun I had as a 7-year-old; but when I met me I was a pain. Questions, questions, questions, that's all I did. Looking in is not the same as looking out. Ok, that's the heavy stuff." (10/3/2000 - B#43)

"Choices need to be choices, not remedies. And opportunities always look forward. If you think you need to fix something, that is not the same as creating something." (11/3/2000 - B#44)

"Ok, a question: Why did the eternal God need to measure creation in days, as if finitude mattered to an infinite dude. I don't know, but either the story is human or it's wrong; for an eternal being would have just done it as if there were no differentiation, for in the fullness of eternity it was really not time-separated. Just a rambling thought. It all gets translated by us. So we miss the whole thingie, yes.

"How about this: 'In the big inning, the Yanks were'... no, no, no, no. 'In the beginning, all was naught and then it was.' Shorter, pithier, more accurate. And what it really means is: 'In the beginning of thought like ours, all was naught; and then all was capable of being thought of as we do.' Was it an act of creation or perception. Hmmm... ponder that. I theenk I have said enough. In fact, I have said a central thingie here I had planned to keep for much further down the road, but ok. Ponder." (12/9/2000 - B#45)

"Prophecy, reality, promise. But what is promise but a prophecy... and on and on. It is one long spiritual chain. Forget the Genome Project and think about trying to identify all the spiritual strands in a person or entity. Now that would be awesome. Ponder that: Sensing all of your spiritual history and inheritance. Well you can, and that is what growing spiritual complexity allows--even as we become more complex, we become more insightful about our existences. Just as a human has more memory than an amoeba, think what happens when you get even more complex. But for tonight, just a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Sunny Solstice, etc., etc., etc." (12/24/2000 - B#46)

"Remember, the perspective you see is only from your perspective. A complex matrix has many axes; and so, many visions. And it changes as you do, assuming you change. But if you hold too tightly to a single vision of any system, you can't change within that system.

"Change requires openness, and openness requires change. And since they are--but can't be conceived as--simultaneous, there is always a leap of faith from change to vision and vision to change; hoping to get the direction right. And here's the important 'and': You have to be open to the reality of when the leap has been in the wrong direction. When vision goes in one direction and change goes in another direction you have to decide whether to follow vision or change; and if you choose vision, you reach an end of change. But with change you'll always be offered new vision. So let change and openness go hand and hand with vision; but when you need a course correction then choose openness and change, and seek out the new vision or perspective.

"Worse than a person with no vision is a person who holds a vision when the realities have changed and moved on. It's like standing on the corner waiting to see a Studebaker go by in 2001 because Studebakers were always the most innovative cars. Could miss seeing so much focusing on what has been, not what is. Isn't that right. *Wild applause on this side*

"So, that's about focusing the released energy of change... if that is how you see it *wink wink*. But that could change *nudge nudge* And you better be open to it. Saying no more." (9/27/2001 - B#47)

"Just a reminder. If the energy isn't flowing forward then it's lost; because the energy invested in the future will be there when you get there, but energy invested in the past is someplace you'll never go again. And yes, I know there is no time; but I speak of flow not time... of patterns yet to be, not patterns already known.

"Yes... no... yes... no... I don't know. I am confused. Because all existence, if examined closely and deeply is confusing. If it weren't, we'd know it all already. Confusion is a great mark of being in touch with reality. If it doesn't baffle, it's not the future. If it's a waffle it's not flat like a pancake. You can't have a settled frontier... or an established pioneer." (10/20/2001 - B#48)

"It's all water over the dam and under the bridge. From here I can see the whole past, no big whoop. But try to see the future... aha. And will you get to live in the same future you see... double aha. And if you live in a certain future you did not see, will you then see it. How much does the future influence the past. Is the future the pre-story to history. I don't know... I don't know." (11/10/2001 - B#49)

"Parallel Lives 101. First, they are only parallel in the finite sense, but approach unity in infinity. But that's another story. Ok. Picture this, tee hee. You are like a photographic negative... but don't read anything into the word 'negative;' I use it to convey the sense of latent image. So, at this spirit level you arrive with a latent image of spirit self; and from that latent image can be fashioned an infinite number of images that are not latent but actual. Ok, like a photo that gets printed from a negative. Let's say you had a picture developed of Uncle Ned and Aunt Beatrice being naughty before their nuptials. So you say to yourself, 'Self, I need some copies made.' But self is distracted and at the photo counter puts down 100 instead of 1. So when you come back you get 100 prints... ooops... but it's in your handwriting so you pay and take them all. Now, which one is the real one.

"Ok, whilst you ponder that, someone calls up and says, 'I hear you got a photo the Enquirer could use.' So you sell one, and send one with a strange note cut from newspapers to Ned and Beatrice, mentioning some money. Then you send one each to the 32 cousins not mentioned in Ned's will. You drop one on a bus in Ashtabula, and 4 are left as bookmarks in overdue novels with the Wichita library. One becomes a coaster for Tom Collins. At some point your landlady throws several out, and they take up residence in the Trenton landfill. One is used as an illustration in a textbook on incest. Another becomes a model for Tiffany as he creates a window. Two more disappear on a trip to Lap Land. And the rest are somewhere. Which one is the real one.

"Ok. Time passes. Each print... except maybe one eaten by rats in Trenton... has its own reality, its own story, its own history. It is playing out a reality as factual as any other. All are true. And, in general, no 2 of them cross paths... except at the reading of Uncle Ned's will. Aha. Some parallel realities become unified. And a class action suit occurs, but that's not important now. More time passes. A print becomes an archive, another languishes in an evidence room, many become compost and help flowers grow stronger at Exit 52 of the Garden State Parkway. And which reality is the real one.

"Now multiply this infinitely and you got the picture, so to speak. From our spiritual emergence as an entity of this complexity, multiple realities reach out. Some will seem parallel forever, others will tend to converge, and others diverge. You only sense totally as real one; but since in field theory all pieces related have a 'knowledge' of each other, you sense the rest--but only vaguely until some piece converges: suddenly you know something you didn't experience. Aha, convergence. We sometimes intersect with those other realities but do not converge: a sudden sense of connection and insight and then it is gone and we only remember what we incorporated. Other times it is like a newly found pathway is ours forever thereon.

"And here's the kicker: What happens in Apparent Reality 1 is influential on Apparent Reality 2--even if 1 does not know about, converge, or intersect with 2. All the parallel lives at a spiritual level of a specific entity--and remember they are not really parallel--all are within a system or field; so it is not really a matter of so many lives, but facets of one spirit. But, caught as we are in lives, we see only the particulars; and we hold up our copy of the photo as if it's the one and only and whole factual finite truth and say 'I know what Ned and Beatrice did,' while we don't notice that the next image on the next negative would give us a photo showing it was all staged and a gag. Remember, the totality of all your parallel lives is in a unity; but that unity is only one out of an infinite number of unities, etc., etc., etc." (11/29/2001 - B#50)

"Now, on to charts and plans and choices. This is somewhat easier, tee hee. Yes, there is a chart of your life chosen before you live. BUT. This is not so simple. There are actually 2 chart components: you and possibility. Let's take you first. Which one. Ok, take all of yous.

"As I just said, there are many yous in you. So you arrive in this specific life with a more or less complex set of experiences in this spiritual level--which is an overlay on the latent image of your spiritual entity with which you arrived. Like with the photos, you brought an image and there were an infinite number of prints. And now consider that some had moustaches and eyeglasses drawn on them by experience, and some had fake zits added, etc. So now you come to this life with the latent image and the accruals of your lives and, of course, the influences of all your other lives now and before. So there is a chart of you, but boy what a mess. You tell me how you get a straight answer from that. It's a resource, not a compelling plan.

"And then there is your life chart... weeellll, let's just give this analogy: You get up one morning in Tuscaloosa and you say, 'I have decided to go to Eugene' (which is a place, not a person). So, you make a choice of life chart. But the choice is not of a single Trip Tik, but a choice of either AAA or Continental or Rand McNally or Delorme. And then you have to decide: on foot, bike, car, train, plane, bus, thumb, boat, armchair. And off you go. Chart... weeellll. You choose the resources but not the specific details; because, you see, when you started you planned to go by North Platte, but outside of it the skies open and ooops no bridge. So now you are taking a different route using the chosen resources, but not the specifics. Footnote, n.b. John Candy, Trains, Planes, and Automobiles.

"And what are the charts of life like. Not maps but things like myths, faiths, religions, philosophies, ethics, culture, etc.--elements that inform our journeys at all stages, and especially help us find our way when the bridge is out, so to speak. That is why it is often hard, or next to impossible, to change some aspects of how we interact with life; because they are the charts we brought with us to this life. So activities like dieting or exercise or etc. don't really relate because we are talking about the journey here, not the destination; and about sensing unity with our values throughout, for they are the ultimate chart. All other systems are but manifestations of values. And that's all I have to say about that." (11/29/2001 - B#51)

"New York, it's changed. It's frightened and it is also uncertain... and you've changed, too. People were nice. Is this New York. In the South it's out of courtesy, hospitality. New York is more like Sodom... they had to welcome strangers, but they were fearful of the unknown.

"New York is in uncharted waters.And if they chart them, they might find Judge Crater and Hoffa. But no, they were over here... but just for an instant. Now they are moving as parts into new entities. Here a Jimmy, there a Jimmy, everywhere a Jimmy-immy (disassembled). So even spiritually he's missing. Psychics are stumped; which is why sometimes in crimes they are stumped. If the entity ain't a entity no more, guess you can't get vibes from that. Which also explains why John Edward only gets relatively good relatives. The bad ones are not available... leave a message after the tone. So, you can't channel Hitler. You could do it if you weren't defined in time, but you are. The time when they were is still, but you are in a different strand. We can, but only a little; but give me eternity and I'll be able to. What we do can connect to any point in your time, yes, but what is your time. So, what was was, but is not... but is.

"I can connect, but I cannot totally participate unless that strand is somehow the strand of one of the elements of my entity. Look, someday we all will be one and I will get access to all of Dad's connections, and vice versa. But now he is connected to some dimensions that I am not, and vice versa. So, I can access all the strands common to us; and in growing complexity more strands become common. Although a few strands stretch and need to be retuned. Then with a 5-string banjo it gets worse and a 12-string guitar, forget it. What am I saying. I don't know. Arrrrrf? You're right, Sandy. Arrrr? I got lost in language. Enough. I gotta go." (12/14/2001 - B#52)

"You know, when you know where you are going even mistakes can take you there. But if you don't have a destination in heart, even the right path takes you astray... Planes, Trains, and Automobiles... farts, carts, and indigestion.

"Look for a reality that could only happen with your presence. If it is already, why go there. One wants a place that faces right, not one that seems to have arrived. Do you want to take a cruise that is headed to the Caribbean, or one that is docked there. Ponder all this. There will be a test, ha." (6/23/2002 - B#53)

"Now I am going to speak about 11:11. If you were born on June 12, you would find that you would keep seeing 6, 12. You see what are patterns for you. That's all. And guess what, numbers don't mean anything until you assign value. So before about 1965, '911' meant nada. Then it meant emergencies, and then it meant ... well, you know. But later it might mean candy... or whatever.

"A wise charlatan will pick a number and predict its future significance, and sooner or later 'aha.' So, listen closely. In a time to come, not sooner than a hundred years nor more than one thousand, the number 505 will be the sign of great joy! I like it. It's mine. What is 1% more than 500. What time does the 5:05 leave from DC. Aha. What is the predicted number hidden in Levi's commercials... etc., etc., etc. And I'm very happee weeth eet. I have onlee 501 more things to say... but not now." (8/11/2002 - B#54)

"Remember, dreams are portals not snapshots. You pass through them, but do not capture them. If you focus on what you see instead of where they take you, you miss the picture... hee hee. Dreams are not Kodak moments." (10/9/2002 - B#55)

"Pearl of wisdom 1: Sure! Pearl of wisdom 2: Don't be so sure! That covers it all.

"The questions of the future are still in the making. From here, you could go a multitude of directions. Things become certain only when they become certain. Probability becomes higher, until it is 100% only after. It is not always about choice as much as recognition. And we only have senses to recognise with that we have opened.

"You can't see what you can't see. And you can't choose what does not appear to be a choice. For example, say you are choosing between Boston and Asheville and Kansas City. Do you realise your choice could be Tahiti. No, so you don't choose that. But why not. We don't recognise other choices because we just don't--some out of fear, some out of stupidity, some out of ignorance, and some just out of the picture we can see.

"Miracles are just options we didn't know existed. Sometimes we don't do it by trying to see them, but simply by opening our eyes wide or taking off the blinders. If we seek a vision we don't have we may miss the vision we need to see. If the focus is on the thing to be seen and not the seeing, we may miss the gift of eternity." (11/2/2002 - B#56)

"A time of renewal often needs a time of tribulation to get it started." (11/7/2002 - B#57)

"Hey, let's have some planned spontaneity, organized serendipity, and some orderly randomness. And here's today's deep thought: Whenever a new understanding arrives to place spontaneity and serendipity and randomness in a pattern, new forms of spontaneity, serendipity, and randomness will always appear. It's like herding cats.

"And an infinite universe will always have more outside its theories than in. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. What white blob on the horizon do you mean. Don't be seduced by the illusion of systematics. Every system excludes more than it includes... except, of course, when All That Is is one. But even then there is something more, and I suspect that more is infinite. Just a hunch." (11/22/2002 - B#58)

"A sleight-of-spirit move: Take one of your issues and explore what might make someone feel that, and see if that awakens an inherent sense of remembered self. You could begin to explore previous lives with some seemingly innocuous things like 'Does it ever feel to you like these feelings are coming from some life other than yours.' 'If you can't see the reason for these feelings and reactions in your life, where do you think they might be coming from.' It's always possible that it's a leftover issue, or that in looking for leftover you will uncover something in this life." (4/7/2003 - B#59)

"Ok, one big thought: A radio wave goes forth from the Earth. It is sending the message 'And now, the top song of today.' *Play song* Ok, now in a lot of light years the signal gets to Rodenta (a far-off planet in another backwater of the universe) and something there receives the signal and hears the top song of today. Is it the top song of today or that day... or is there a difference.

"Two thoughts from someone who doesn't think: That day there, which is separated from this day here by many years, are practically the same time. So there must not be any time... or else there is time but time is not discrete, rather it is like a ribbon of being. And since it would be possible to intersect with the song at various points in a variety of orders, it is a nonlinear ribbon--more like a woven band.

"And here's where I'm going with this: Everything from spirit is radiating outward, and what you are doing is grabbing a piece of that ribbon. But the whole ribbon is always there, just as the whole song is always available--if not there, so to speak. Just because you are only aware of the bar or measure you are hearing, doesn't mean the rest isn't there... or here.... or whatever. Here's a new word: mooever. Anymoo, mooever.

"Premonitions are simply tapping into realities before they fully pass by. Think about a boat... no, not that one, a big boat. Before it passes, the water ripples and you can feel it approach. 'Hum, white man come soon. I put ear to iron rail and hear iron horse not yet here.' There are many ways to presage an event if we can tune into the right stuff.

"Now, back on Rodenta, what if no one or thing received the signals as they go by. Does that mean they are not there? No, so around us spins an infinite reality of which we only become aware of the tiniest part because we don't have or don't use or don't believe the receivers we have. Just a pondering for today. Enough." (7/11/2003 - B#60)

"Speak you order in? If consequential time not is, order nothing means. Here comes TC and PoochMc... FRA... fra... goow. On on on on... pans. Right around turn. Ok... ARF... ees better, no? Eet ees better than cats. Hi. Who were those spirits... o, us. Caught myself coming and going. Whoa.

"And in the other verse, people wake up in a fancy bed then get into a hospital bed and then go home and feel much better and then they work but over the years they become less accomplished so they go to school but progressively they know less and finally they have to be cared for until they disappear into their children. At least, it looks that way from the other verse. Many verses make the universe. Someone going too fast would see human life like that. But not me... or him... but he would." (4/9/2004 - B#61)

"Now about accessing your all from your present particular. Not hard at all but not easy at all. You just have to give up your present being-state and hold onto your present being-state. How? Many ways. But all that suggest you renounce 'now' don't do it. You have to know your 'now' as a tool. I will give an analogy that someone in Florida will understand.

"Sometimes an artist gets lost in her music. All the lessons of the past and all the promise of the future are caught in a moment of divine understanding. And it's done through the hands--which are both firmly attached and, at the same time, transcended. Couldn't do it without the hands, but the hands alone don't cut it. They're tools.

"Each person has some aspect of being which, for them, is like those hands... wellll, first-timers may but can't access them. (And phewy to all the defenders of first-timers. Cool it. Have a cup of tea.) So, to look for someone else's tools--or through someone else's tools--is to miss.

"And don't get too profound. For some it could be in cooking... or the gardening eye. The simplest may reveal the deepest. I'm done! Turn me over." (4/20/2004 - B#62)

"You know, we are intrinsically connected and we have no connection at all. Without time both are true. All strangers are our closest relatives spiritually.

"And most people living out the people part of this complexity have spiritual Alzheimer's. They don't remember how connected they are already and treat most people as strangers. But everything is already intricately interwoven. A new tree arises in the rainforest but it is already connected to all life and non-life of the forest. It is the seed or shoot of the past and it is the sprout of the future. And everything that ever was there is in it and everything that will be, too.

"It's like that grain of sand which contains the universe. O, I like that: univ-erse... pirouette... also, seers with a mid-pirouette twirl... seers. And even my little dance is symbolic. You see it only because the letters are in that pattern. Rearrange these letters and it wouldn't work, but the dance would spell something else. Everything has meaning. And everything makes meaning and every thing finds meaning--even if the patterns change.

"Those whose patterns have changed often think they have lost meaning. No, they have just lost the familiarity of the pattern but the eternal dance goes on--inviting new partners to new steps. You can choose to sit this one out and get lost in nostalgia, or you can say 'YES' when life asks you to dance the new steps. Your choice. Your gain. Your loss. Life dances on. Why don't you?" (5/10/2004 - B#63)

"We're just sitting round being dead and thinking lofty thoughts and practicing profound voices, so when we speak we can be ponderous and deep-sounding, so we can fulfill everyone's image of the dead. Sure... right... yeah... that's us. 'Not me.' 'Or me.' 'Or me.' 'Or me.' ARF.

"In the fifth presence of the human form the dialectic will manifest itself as pride, and work to undo the prophecies of the fourth state--unless the level of vibration can be increased to match the harmonies of the ionic plane. Each of you, in your choice of words, can accelerate or decelerate those vibrations, and the more words you use with double consonants the closer we will become. Rhubarb is good, celery is not. Cabbage good, carrots good, milk bad. Did I say vibrational? I meant audacional. What? There is no such word? That doesn't stop us; we're the dead! We don't have bodies, we don't have brains, we don't have words. But hey, we got soul. O yeah. I am talking about accelerating the audacionals so the quiver of fulfillment may overflow into the consciousness of beyond.

"Hey, CT, want to see some ectoplasm phlegm. 'No.' Hey, if we don't have bodies, we don't have bodily functions. But we do have spiritual functions. We also have social functions... lots! So we will only speak deep and ponderous. Is that acceptable in thy sight? It is not for me to judge and choose but for you, for you shall be the shaper of the future of all earthly eternity. And when we say 'you' we speak collectively of the collective. Or to frame it in other words, you'll get what's coming to you.

"Don't ever think it's somebody else's choices. It is always your choice--even though it's not your cause. You effect without being the cause. Hmmm... linearity raises its ugly head again, but we do an extreme makeover, and it comes out relative. Got that? Good.

"In a web, you can have an effect without having a direct causal link. Take out dimensions, and this is what you get. The choices are not about cause, but awareness--cause all the possibilities exist, and they exist separately from your creation and causation. God is another analogy for all the possibilities you didn't create, but which you can choose--and, therefore, bring into being by your power and choice.

"Think of the implications. God can make all possible, but only spirits can make them real. So, who's the higher power. Both. And that's tonight's secret answer. Ponder... powder. And cattle is good, cows are bad." (7/11/2004 - B#64)

"So, as I was saying and you were hearing, it's a cooperative effort: creative possibilities and informed choices. Sure, in some parallel universe all the other choices get taken. And here's a mind-blower: Only when all the options have been exercised and fulfilled do we have the fullness of Creation. And... hold onto your hats... at each of the infinite levels of spiritual existence and complexity, all the possibilities of that level have to be chosen and fulfilled before that level is realized in the overall.

"So, there is always the religious assertion that we only get heaven or nirvana or satori when the right options are chosen. But no, it's when ALL the options are chosen and learned from and remembered. No quick get-it-right-the-first-time resolutions. Takes knowing the outcome of each and all.

"Ok, I give you an analogy. You are in a tall building and there is a bank of elevators--6 of them. You take the first, and go to the top floor. Ok, do you know the path to the top, yes and no. You take the second one, and it goes only to floor 18. Now you know a path to the top and a path to 18. And 3 takes you to the top but stops at every floor. Four takes you nonstop no matter what you do, right to the top. Five starts to move and takes forever, but it gets to the top eventually. And 6 the door closes, the machine rumbles, you feel like you are moving, but when the door opens you are still in the lobby. And if you only took a single elevator, you wouldn't have the whole picture--even if that elevator took you to the top. And what if, upon getting to the top, you sat and waited and eventually someone said the meeting was on 17. Would you know what to do? All the options are needed.

"In any general set, all the possibilities contain information about the whole, and no one subset contains it all. Hint: No one spiritual path has all the answers, including Spiritual Persistence. So look for those that offer the most possibilities, not the most conclusions... or contusions... like a hit to the head! Huh... duh. And, since this is summer, that's enough." (7/15/2004 - B#65)

"There is nothing new under the sun except understanding. Put that on my witty remarks calendar. But it's true! The possibilities are all there, but not until you can understand them. And you can only choose what you understand--otherwise it's an imposition or an accident... or, in many cases, an accident waiting to happen." (7/18/2004 - B#66)
