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.

To be continued.

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.
