What does that mean?<br /><br />I think it means exactly what it sounds like—there is no space between us. It's all made up. It's just swirl of atoms in varying densities. There is no actual point where I end and the air begins and the air ends and you begin. We are an indescribably huge organism having an equally indescribable and equally huge orgasm. We are the "big bang", still banging—and getting bigger.<br /><br />Back to ONE.<br /><br />The Universe is binary. So, while this is a constant and unfathomable orgasm on one hand, the other side of the coin must exist—<br /><br />What's the opposite equivalent of a constant, unfathomable orgasm?<br /><br />An intermittent, mildly annoying head cold?<br /><br />I'm halfway joking. But though one might think that the "equal and opposite" would be equally as powerful— just going in the opposite direction—if that were the case, and the opposite were an equally powerful dismal vacuum, then they would simply cancel one another out—and there would be nothing.<br /><br />It makes more sense that the opposite would be sporadic, subtle and ever-so-slightly depressing.<br /><br />Say, for instance, your back goes out. That's not subtle—it's unbearable. When you are in that kind of pain, you see very clearly, through the contrast, the desire to not be in pain and to have a healthy back.<br /><br />However, when you have that low-level anxiety—that tiny sniffle; that little itch in the back of your throat; a little red in your eyes—that's where the distraction happens. Just enough to keep you clearing your throat. Just enough to keep checking your email—you're not expecting any amazing life-altering email to come in—it's just a low-level expectation that's always there, for some tiny acknowledgment that you exist.<br /><br />That's what we're focused on. That's it. That's the ZERO in the binary system. The ONE is the constant bliss that is the ultimate reality of this existence—the ZERO is the subtle, sputtering wind, that keeps us away from it.<br /><br />The Universe is binary, but it's a litte more complicated than that for us, because we don't see what's really going on. We are in a time-space reality that has taken something infinite and made it appear finite. Part of that illusion is seeing things in degrees. We couldn't experience the fullness of reality because that kind of orgasm would kill us instantly.<br /><br />We can, however, choose to focus on the degrees that are on the ONE side of things. Spending more and more time—just moments here and there—focusing on the beauty and harmony of this place. It's there if you look. For some reason, we seem far more interested in the ZERO—in how some politician or celebrity's hair-day is going than in a flower or a blue sky.<br /><br />In every moment, there lies a choice. Choose ONE.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732030417976425834.post-19513400505753511662008-04-02T05:55:00.000-07:002008-04-21T01:38:32.175-07:00RE-REINCARNATION<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvgSB2UPUeOSK9soMdgL_gatplwrYxC1y8_LqJU_AcCh2nAIMrLlXqGqTyz0_2GN2b-BxZqQ4I8WasNqEObvHUbosAu_ceWcXP05KddWduoADyWNC5jhGT5CW2aPUFFM-GFFAdxOWrG-I/s1600-h/recycle.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcvgSB2UPUeOSK9soMdgL_gatplwrYxC1y8_LqJU_AcCh2nAIMrLlXqGqTyz0_2GN2b-BxZqQ4I8WasNqEObvHUbosAu_ceWcXP05KddWduoADyWNC5jhGT5CW2aPUFFM-GFFAdxOWrG-I/s320/recycle.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184644744564427042" border="0" /></a>A simple breaking down of the word quickly disproves the concept of reincarnation.<br /><br />"re" means "again" which implies time.<br /><br />"incarnation" means "embodiment" which implies space.<br /><br /><br /><br />Physics has proven that time and space are illusions.<br /><br />Furthermore, reincarnation implies that there is separation, which blows the "oneness" theory that most of those that tend to believe in reincarnation usually also believe.<br /><br />How could one come back as a butterfly if nothing is not the butterfly?<br /><br />The short story is that all there is—is all there isn't.

The cracks in the sidewalk, the rust, the smog, road construction, taxes, wars—all of those imperfections—are so perfect.<br /><br />Somewhere in the movie, The Matrix, it was mentioned that the first program the machines created was peaceful and perfect, but we rejected it. This makes sense. If everything was perfect, we'd all likely be suspicious that something was up. It's that stubbed toe, negative balance in the checking account, or dirty dishes that manage to keep us locked into thinking that any of it is real.<br /><br />Quantum physics has proven that at the sub-sub-sub-sub-sub atomic level, there really isn't anything; just empty space. Though it may only appear as such until we have more sophisticated monitoring devices.<br /><br />It is nothing short of a miracle that our non-physical selves were so brilliant as to create something so convincing, for no other reason than to give ourselves a physical experience.<br /><br />Even coming from a place of complete knowledge and understanding of all things, it makes sense that we would desire a physical experience. In essence, this could be considered<span style="font-style: italic;"> wisdom, </span>as it is said that “wisdom is knowledge applied”. After all, we could talk about what it feels like to have sex all day long and it would not even come close to the actual experience.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732030417976425834.post-56027421674237237182007-12-16T12:24:00.001-08:002007-12-16T12:24:33.319-08:00MANIFESTATION LIFE MEDITATION.Here is a technique that came to me in meditation this morning:<br /><br />First of all, pick something you wish to manifest. In this example I use "perfect health".

Invoking it at its full maturity may just be too much all at once, thus ineffective.</li><li>Do you really want baby good health or rebellious teenage prosperity?</li><li>You grew it and nourished it for its entire life—it is family now.</li></ul>Look for an MP3 guided version of this meditation soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732030417976425834.post-61927819079147809122007-12-16T12:09:00.004-08:002007-12-16T12:21:52.625-08:00DE-MANIFESTATION LIFE MEDITATION.To "de-manifest" something, simply use the manifestation meditation and once you get to "I witness the maturity of [my perfect health—poor example here—changing to "smoking habit"]" skip the invocation and keep moving on to:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I witness the old-age of my smoking habit</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">picture the pale skin, leathery, wrinkled, dying, brittle frame</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I witness the death of my smoking habit</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">on its death bed, saying goodbye</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I witness the funeral of my smoking habit</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">picture someone saying some nice words "Ah, smokey... got me through some hard times"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I witness the cremation of my smoking habit</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">you could say "burial" here. Though cremation doesn't give it a body to come back and haunt.</span><br /><br />. . .<br /><br />This process allows you to accept what is, and even appreciate it for what it has done, then observe it dying.<br /><br />It would be a good idea to have a desire that you do want to manifest ready to go when you de-manifest something. That way you there's not a big gaping hole.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732030417976425834.post-7613059507704946472007-12-06T13:34:00.000-08:002007-12-06T13:52:01.801-08:00LAVA.<a href="http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/unbranded/m/unbranded-mini-lava-lamp-red-purple.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/unbranded/m/unbranded-mini-lava-lamp-red-purple.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I was never inclined to purchase a Lava Lamp, but my friend was going to trash his and I thought I'd give it a try.<br /><br />So I put it next to my desk in my studio and whenever I get stuck on something, I just look at the Lava Lamp. I watch as it never struggles, and never stops, it just flows on and on. It just keeps moving. If another blob blocks its path it doesn't stop and say "Stupid blob, get out of my way!" and honk its horn. It just flows gracefully around the blob.<br /><br />This struck me as a great metaphor for how we live our lives. The less we let things block us and the more we just allow everything and everyone else to be exactly as they are and flow gracefully around them, the more beautiful our lives will become.<br /><br />After all, for all we know, this entire universe could be contained in a Lava Lamp on someone's desk somewhere. Might as well give them a good show.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732030417976425834.post-3640369763139414472007-12-06T13:18:00.000-08:002008-01-16T00:58:10.511-08:00PERCEPTION.Each inhale is a rebirth—everything is new. Each exhale is a funeral for the last breath. This breath has never been before and will never be again. That which takes place during this breath has never been before and will never be again. The sky might be cloudy and one might say "the sky is cloudy, just like yesterday". Yet it is completely different. Not one cloud is in the exact same place bearing the exact same shape—not even from one breath to the next. You are a powerful creator. What you perceive to be true becomes truth. Perceive well.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
