Each of us manifests as one piece in this incredible mosaic.
I was just translating some of what I see - what comes to me from a source I trust. And one of the clues is that we are each responsible for developing our very own cosmology with regard to our very own choices as to the context we are making up. We all have to establish our own systems for choosing. Some of us e.g., Ken Wilbur develop astonishingly complex structures. I remember mostly agreeing with Ken when I was reading and watching videos. And that experience has empowered me in creating my very own cosmology. It is one that works for me. I think this corresponds to Ken’s idea of integral. It’s more complex than most and in agreement with most aspects of what I hear from many of the folks who participated in Beyond Awakening thus far. It is my impression that the vast majority of my species operate with a patchwork of context derived from a hodgepodge of religion and movies and politics and peers that is pretty much devoid of considered, conscious choice. I wonder what might motivate folks to take on this challenge.
The only thing I have to offer in the world is my physical actions and the context within which I act. I choose to focus on expressing love in ways that I think might empower the process of others on the same quest. And I take as my intention to participate in bringing forth a world where love is first and foremost for one and all. This blog is part of the action I call expressing love and intended to be of service to others and to my species as a whole.

Thought discipline
Thought discipline was the primary subject of my journey to Juniper Pass today. The more I am the conscious chooser of what I dedicate my thinker to as I go through the day, the more satisfying the day is likely to be. And, as I wrote that I noticed I had to qualify chooser with conscious. It’s actually the case that I am always the chooser, it’s just that sometimes I want to blame the choice on some other force.

I want to participate in a conversation intended to empower what we do to bring forth the world we intend. I want to distinguish between the things we do in the physical world that makes a difference in the physical world and the things we do to make a difference in the extraphysical world. I’m actually more interested in the latter. I want to hear from others what they do that is intended to make a difference in the extraphysical world. Even if it isn’t intended, what do we do that makes a difference?
AND does making a difference in the extraphysical world have any effect in the physical world?

Easy miracles
I want to look for a moment at just how unfathomably miraculous my life is. I’m clear, whenever I look, at the miracle involved in the journey from the big bang to me sitting here typing this. And I’m clear, when I look at my life, as I experience it, from birth to sitting here typing this. And I’m clear when I look at the development of human intelligence over the last few thousand years. And I’m clear when I look at the development of my own intellectual capacity and perception and understanding and overall comprehension that also opens up for me the as yet unrealized possibility of human intelligence and cooperation bringing forth a world where love is first and foremost for everybody. And it’s clear to me when I walk a couple of miles and it feels good.
I have been saying that my current biggest challenge is not feeling guilty for how easy my life is. And I notice that “easy” isn’t completely correct. I actually see it as being quite challenging to stay on top of the wave, as my friend Cynthia might put it. It calls on my intelligence, wisdom and willful intention. I find it quite challenging to stay focused. And, in part, it’s only easy because I am well prepared for what I take on. Part of that preparation is my daily practice helping me to remember important choices. One of the biggest is simply noticing all of the good and goodness around me. Another is noticing the joy I feel when I’m able to be of service to someone I love. And, given all of that, my life really is easy.

Am I asking too much? and Are you one?
I'm inclined to believe it's too much to ask of anybody to take on actually reading what follows at the level required to get what I'm trying to say.
What I refer to as the conversation for evolution occurs inside of and in direct relation to the extraphysical domain. I believe that together as a species at this point in time we are carrying on a conversation for evolution that includes all of the chaos that we see as well as some of the most brilliant and focused humans who are just beginning to catch a glimpse of the power we have to truly evolve this conversation in the context of global communication systems now implemented on our planet.
My inquiry is intended to help me discover what there is for me to do, given who I am and what I bring. It is a conversation that avoids getting caught up in judgement. It’s more a matter of finding the facts in a domain that defies measurement and concrete certainty. It’s motivated by an intention to pay attention to things I’ve avoided most of my life. It’s focused on the extraphysical aspect and also inside of the intention to notice how this extraphysical aspect relates to my future as manifest immediately in this writing although I’m far more interested in how it relates to my longer term future and our future as a species. And my choices in the physical world tie back in more ways than the simple physical outcome.
For this to be the sort of conversation I seek, some other has to respond or reply. I'm looking for an exchange among two or more. Are you one?
Love, W

We are doing some things right
Violent crime is down 12 percent over the last year. All crime is down by 6.6 percent. And I’m suggesting this tells us we’re doing something right. Certainly the best of our law enforcement folks are making a difference but I think something else is going on beyond their valiant efforts. It has to do with more of us becoming conscious of our collective responsibility for all forms of violence. I think this is a sign of a shift occurring in our relationship to our lives as humans to one another, to our species and to all others including this planet as one whole being.
I think there are different degrees of this consciousness. More of us are seeing clearly and talking about it. But even more are influenced by it without being likely to talk about it. I’m clear that there are more of us everyday consciously, intelligently choosing to focus on what is working. At the simplest level, it takes recognizing that our complaints about our experience of things like Windows and Facebook are details in the midst of a much larger whole of what is provided that serves us in powerful ways. It takes us seeing how petty we get about the details when we have widespread agreement about having the world work.
Driving is a great example. If I were to be told, w/o knowledge of how it does work, that we were going to put millions of individual humans in control of vehicles weighing tons and capable of velocities above sixty miles per hour; and that they will travel in huge migrations of thousands at a time traveling side by side a few inches apart at these speeds; I wouldn’t expect it to turn out anywhere near as well as it does. It indicates to me that, in general, a large majority of us are both smarter and more sophisticated than I think. And that the world as a whole is working as well as it does is astonishing.

Co-creative communication
This is the area that interests me above all others, finding the ways we can communicate aspects of our experience - especially our experience of growth and development in our understanding of or of our mastery in the extraphysical domain with relation to the physical world.
I think a lot of us have an innate knowing that we can do better than our species is doing now. I’m pretty sure the way through this wormhole in our cultural development has to do with our ability to perceive clearly and to communicate our perceptions clearly. And I think that level of communication is completely dependent on something that looks a lot like what I’m thinking of when I refer to love.
It requires a level of profound trust. It requires each of us to choose the perspective from which we see the other as doing our very best to express our love in ways that bring forth the best world we can imagine. That is there is an extent to which we each have to create the other as co-creator.

I just happen to be here
The stuff I write pretty much comes up on it’s own. I just happen to be here to catch some of it and then I imagine there must be some way to actually talk about and even be in direct relationship with the source.
And I have this idea that I can and do have a relationship with the source that allows me some influence over material outcomes. This extraphysical “stuff” that comes up is at least mildly analogous to water flowing up into a stream in the air like a fountain and I can metaphorically reach out and touch it and see how it responds to me and I can see ways to use that flow to cause intended outcomes.
I just saw a vision of me sort of jogging up to join some others at a location where something that I didn’t see was flowing. We all had something strange going on with our hands and feet which appeared to have circular areas on our palms and the soles of our feet and they looked like they were painted white. It may have been part of a costume a tool of the trade. We form a circle around the energy flowing upward, barely visible to me, and using our hands and various positions and movements around the circle we are somehow directing the flow.
I got a sense of some very old tradition and I was hurrying up to join the others in this experience as if it were the first time for me. I also have a sense that I have prepared for this first experience in ways that have the others confident and secure in having me join them. I think the training had mostly to do with being fully open to complete, mind-boggling awe inside a space and time where love was somehow the highest level force in charge - specifically without any possibility of violence or causing suffering among ourselves and in relation to all of life and our planet as a whole. It was some version of making love to our whole planet and I was a virgin.

Something has shifted
Something has shifted in me. I’m not sure what it is but I see it manifest in just being more present and playful with other people. I think I’m more likely to enter a conversation in a playful way but I still tend to always be looking for significance.
The idea isn’t to enter a conversation with a conclusion in mind. The greater value I see is entering those conversations where the conclusion is a function of the conversation to be articulated out of the harmonics generated when two or more are creating together.
And I have some concern about how I manage those conversations whenever I notice that I’m looking for some “authority” to rule in my favor. That’s an element of who I’m being I think I could do without. It’s linked to the being right energy - which does have some value. It’s not the energy I want to eliminate but having it manifest as that right/ wrong - separate beings way of being.
And the more playful part arises to the extent I stay clear of that right/ wrong energy.

Troubling trends on the path to peace
I want to relate my current take on the general flow of events.
There are revolutions in progress in at least half a dozen countries right now and my country along with a number of allies has begun another air and missile attack against a much smaller nation. Given what I understand as the circumstances I’m hard pressed to argue in favor of standing by and watching another dictator crush his own much weaker opposition. Egypt, meanwhile seems to be making some real progress with very little, so far, violence.
In this country and most of the west we face little threat of cruise missiles taking out whatever their directors choose. But we face a brutal financial reality where a few people control enormous wealth and use it to manipulate the general public and ongoingly change the rules of the game in their favor. They seem to be stepping up the trend of the rich getting richer while something like 90% of the population gets poorer. They pretty much control the media, with the possible exception of NPR and PBS. And, there is currently a powerful movement to cut off public funding of the only non-commercial media. I assume this is in particular because they do “too good” a job of reporting and exposing the greed that is consuming our society. And there still is some excellent reporting going on in the commercial media but it looks pretty fragile and vulnerable to me. The ratio of advertising to excellent reporting grows constantly. Advertising is included inside of most regular shows and seems to me to be creeping ever more into the best of the commercial news programs. And I rue the dearth of good news. What is going on where people are working together to create a better world?
Foster pointed today to a general trend of deterioration in the world he has created. I mentioned his two remarkable daughters Sierra and Annie. Butt he is pointing to something I see as well. The bad news seems to be constantly worse and more of it. Bombing Libya doesn’t seem to be moving in the direction of “no more violence on the part of humans on this planet" by the spring of 2012. That is now technically one year from now.
When I pull together what I see of my world and leave off my creation of it, it does look dire. I can note that it’s always darkest before the dawn but I have to fear that it will get much darker.
And, I believe that each of us and all of us collectively have more say in the matter than we might think. I think we can alter the whole path simply by each of us altering our own attitudes, perceptions and ways of being in the world. All of these are within our reach as individuals. We don’t really even need any help but, in this game, help is fun for everybody.
Love, Woody

Good News
This entry represents good news in itself. I see that I have broken through the barrier that stopped my previous blog at 5 entries. It also represents a shift in focus from my direct approach to a conversation for evolution to simply doing something that I find interesting and instructive to the overall conversation. "Good News" is an interest that has attracted my attention before but I've gone just a little further to follow it up this time.
The last time I looked on line I lacked anything that might be thought of as persistence. I remember being distracted by the amount of religious good news that seemed to dominate the Google results. Perhaps I could refine my search just a little. Nothing against those things but I'm looking for something that points more to the general goodness of humans at large, independent of their institutional affiliations.
Good News! The first item on the Google list www.happynews.com/ is a winner. My advanced search simply excluded sites that used the words church, god and Jesus. The Happy News folks are a wonderful example of what I'm looking for.
I noticed that one of their top stories when I visited just a little while ago is the story NBC Nightly News used as their good news piece this evening. They have excellent categories. I went to business and found a piece from Forbes about who’s happiest with their jobs. I was surprised and delighted to find that secretaries or administrative assistants are near the top of the list. I love discovering that ordinary people doing ordinary work are pleased with what they're doing. It's pretty much the only hope for our world at this point in history.
I would like to see a category something like “humans relating to others.” Others being any other, e.g., the planet as a whole or animals as well as other humans.
And more good news for me is that I’ve just begun to follow the first item on the first advanced search. This project could keep me going for some time.

Cooperation
Ask yourself two questions every day: What have I done to make this a better world? And, What will I do to make this a better world?
Each of us being only one among billions need not take on even a significant piece of the whole. The questions are to provide orientation in the larger sea of life. We are all rowing our boats as best we can in order to assure our own survival and comfort.
The analogy ends at that point but it’s clearly important that we notice that our survival and comfort depends on an astonishing degree of cooperation world wide for us to have what we have. There is the obvious although mostly overlooked cooperation of pretty much everybody doing any physical work to produce and provide all of the stuff we have. There is the cooperation of everybody around us who behaves in a civil manner such as the people driving all of tons of steel hurtling along a few feet apart. There is the cooperation of friends and families and coworkers and the person in line behind me. And I feel like I am being called to focus more on this aspect of our common humanity. So, for me the two questions are more specifically: What have I done and what will I do to empower cooperation?

Two major players who preceded me into the conversation
Landmark Education is the organization best set up to bring the conversational technologies that I rely on to folks who really haven’t ever even thought about it before. Their rigorous development of language and unflinching honesty and loving support are the best there is. There are others that I haven’t really experienced and there is a whole movement using terms like integral spiritual practice with more brilliant, committed people than I am even aware of and only a few of whom I’ve experienced to the extent I’ll comment.
Buckminster Fuller, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and others were pioneers and there have been many books along the way. Right now I’m finding Terry Patten to be as current as anybody I know of with regard to the actual nature of the conversation. He also appears to maintain a rigorous relationship with truth. He can be found hosting the Beyond Awakening Series of free on-line seminars.

Others already in the conversation
I was just listening to Robert Wright on Optimism [TED]. About 13 minutes in he makes a great case for a need for us to make some real progress in the arena of morality. In particular the reduction of “hate”. [If there is an evil on this planet it is hate.] “Launching a moral revolution - what do you do?” He thinks it’s a lot of people doing a lot of things. So do I and, for me one of those things is to somehow enlarge, enhance and empower this conversation.

Being human challenges conscious intention
I am being human in ways that continue to confound and baffle me - as if I’m not really cause in the matter of my life. That piece of the language in last week's blog is especially present for me when it takes me longer than I think appropriate to continue this blog. And, I know that I have complete willful access to being cause whenever I choose but I do have to choose.
After re-reading this myself, I admit the lazy part of being human has me make what follows public without taking the time to fill in all of the blanks. Instead I'll acknowledge the generosity of of any reader here along with your abilityto fill in the blanks as you read. Without that, this is nothing.
I acknowledge and affirm the complete, unconditional love I have for myself as I am. And I acknowledge and affirm all of the others I experience and my love for all of them.
I experience this love as an aspect of the physical energies that many of us have learned in our culture to suppress. This suppression is just one part of our cultural evolution that we can actually alter just like we can alter any psychological sort of thing if we just know how. It is completely a function of conversation.
This cultural aspect of how we create who we are points to the nature of the conversation that I think we can have that will carry us into a conscious world intentionally created beyond the questionable structures of our cultures to date.
It’s time to build new structures, using new technologies. And it’s time to manifest a “revolutionary” transformation in our planetary culture without resorting to violence or coercion.

How do I continue this conversation
Following is the language included in my daily practice. It is the basis of my conversation with myself.
Who I am is choosing. I choose to be conscious intentional and intelligent; joyous, loving and brave. I choose to be brilliantly present, observant and compassionate. I choose to be this human in ways that call forth my deepest and most profound love, respect and admiration for who I'm being. I choose to be this planet and I choose to be a world where love is first and foremost for one and all. I choose to be exploring creation, expressing love and making stuff up.
I choose to be responsible for what I'm making up. And I make it up that these choices are the most important and most empowering choices I can make. And I make it up that making stuff up is my access to creation.
I take on being responsible for what I'm creating by doing this practice at least once each day and by paying attention to what I'm making up and noticing how it's going.
I take on noticing in particular how it's going with regard to being who I say I am. I take on noticing whatever there is for me to notice, learning whatever there is for me to learn, doing whatever there is for me to do, and I take on enjoying whatever there is for me to enjoy.
I acknowledge and affirm -
- That Consciousness is a choice and I choose to be conscious.
- I am present both physically and metaphysically.
- The design I see manifest in all of my experience.
- The gratitude, reverence and responsibility that is my relationship to the design.
- The gratitude, reverence and responsibility that is my relationship to my life as I experience it.
- That my life is a miracle,
- there is work for me to do both physically and metaphysically
- nothing is wrong.
I acknowledge and affirm that I am being human in ways that confound and baffle me as well as in ways that call forth my deepest, most profound love respect and admiration for who I'm being.
I acknowledge and affirm my complete unconditional love for myself as I am.
I acknowledge and affirm all of the others whom I experience and my love for all of life.
I acknowledge and affirm all of the healing that has occurred and is now occurring and that will continue both with and without my conscious intention.
I acknowledge and affirm that I have complete willful access to this state of being cause in the matter of my life whenever I choose but only when I choose.
Love, Woody
Who I am is choosing. I choose to be conscious intentional and intelligent; joyous, loving and brave. I choose to be brilliantly present, observant and compassionate. I choose to be this human in ways that call forth my deepest and most profound love, respect and admiration for who I'm being. I choose to be this planet and I choose to be a world where love is first and foremost for one and all. I choose to be exploring creation, expressing love and making stuff up.
I choose to be responsible for what I'm making up. And I make it up that these choices are the most important and most empowering choices I can make. And I make it up that making stuff up is my access to creation.
I take on being responsible for what I'm creating by doing this practice at least once each day and by paying attention to what I'm making up and noticing how it's going.
I take on noticing in particular how it's going with regard to being who I say I am. I take on noticing whatever there is for me to notice, learning whatever there is for me to learn, doing whatever there is for me to do, and I take on enjoying whatever there is for me to enjoy.
I acknowledge and affirm -
- That Consciousness is a choice and I choose to be conscious.
- I am present both physically and metaphysically.
- The design I see manifest in all of my experience.
- The gratitude, reverence and responsibility that is my relationship to the design.
- The gratitude, reverence and responsibility that is my relationship to my life as I experience it.
- That my life is a miracle,
- there is work for me to do both physically and metaphysically
- nothing is wrong.
I acknowledge and affirm that I am being human in ways that confound and baffle me as well as in ways that call forth my deepest, most profound love respect and admiration for who I'm being.
I acknowledge and affirm my complete unconditional love for myself as I am.
I acknowledge and affirm all of the others whom I experience and my love for all of life.
I acknowledge and affirm all of the healing that has occurred and is now occurring and that will continue both with and without my conscious intention.
I acknowledge and affirm that I have complete willful access to this state of being cause in the matter of my life whenever I choose but only when I choose.
Love, Woody

How do I begin a conversation for evolution?
I talked to Lori today and as a direct result of that conversation, this is the beginning of this blog. In part, I want to acknowledge her for being who she’s being and claim that this is her doing - without her I wouldn’t be doing this. And I know that to be a dangerous conversation. It is critical for me to take full responsibility for my choices. And that is what this blog is about.
It’s about taking on being responsible for what I’m creating in this world and the one aspect of my own creation where I’m completely clear that I have enormous power is in my conversations. The conversations that I’m talking about are those that have power with regard to who and how I am in the world and how the world occurs for me. Everybody ready to enter this conversation clearly understands that the conversation “the world is a dangerous and scary place” differs from “the world is a miraculous and exciting and challenging.”
We all have it in us to be complete cause in the matter of our conversation. And we all have some inkling that this power is absolutely critical to our continued success as a species. I’m completely convinced that we have it in us as a species to come together in cooperation to brilliantly manage our resources and the appropriate distribution of resources to serve us all as individual and as a species.
And I’m willing to suggest a vision in which we could actually alter the overall conversation of our planetary species and all of our diverse cultures to achieve a complete and profound state of peace among all humans and with our planet as a whole. And that we can see a complete end to violence among humans within one year. And I’m brash enough to suggest that year starts with this conversation.
And I’m crystal clear that there are others having this conversation who began before I did and I am so delighted that I am not alone. I will name and discuss some of those whom I know to be at the leading edge of this conversation in blogs to come. And, I am certain that we can’t just sit back and leave this one to those doing the leading. This one is for all of us to take on. This is where the conversational rubber hits the road. This is where this evolutionary process comes to life. We have seen cosmic evolution and biological evolution and cultural evolution. I won’t take on naming this evolution, but I do take on being responsible for my conversation for my own evolutionary process.
