Lilou Mace Interviews Drunvalo Melchizedek April 7, 2012

I've listened to quite a few of both Lilou Mace and Drunvalo Melchizedek's interviews.  This one's a bit different, at least at the beginning.  Drunvalo talks about crop circles and their messages, much like Pane Andov, and how said messages are instructions and/or warnings about an upcoming dimensional shift of some kind.  Drunvalo references Russian cosmonaut and scientist Marina Popovich, whose story about extraterrestrial warnings can be found here.  Note: I did see a link to Examiner [dot] com in that article, which is a bullshit factory, so that article is likely suspect.  I don't remember a time though when I've seen Drunvalo talk about impending earth changing events with the type of matter-of-fact urgency he has in this interview.  After watching the entire video, I wished they had stayed on that topic for the duration, but there didn't seem to be too many details.  Hmm.  When people pin potential cataclysmic events to such things as solar flares and planetary alignments, I tune out.  I've watched those memes come and go over the years too many times to place any merit in such predictions.  

 

If, however, Drunvalo is correct in his statement about NASA expecting big changes to come over the next few months (1-9) and said changes are expected to have both a high impact and high likelihood, then this interview is worth viewing.  NASA did issue a warning about solar storms in 2006, with two varying viewpoints from two different scientists as to when such a thing would be most likely to occur.  Consequently, NASA's website as of November, 2011 states that the likelihood of a 'killer solar storm' that would render our electronic world useless to be physically impossible.  That doesn't necessarily tell us anything either, since the previously deemed impossible can often be proven wrong, particularly when a Black Swan event comes out of nowhere to catch a populous off guard.  When an unexpected cataclysm occurs, they often redefine concepts of what is possible or can be reasonably expected.

Since change is the only constant in our reality, one should always expect a measure of the unexpected, however, I believe a lot of those out there that are spinning yarns about a shift are going to keep pushing said shift into the future with each coming year if in fact no evident shift occurs in the very near future, just like some did with the end of the Mayan Ninth Wave last November.  "It's been adjusted," I remember reading the day after October 28th, 2011.  "Sure it has," I thought at the time.  That's what appears to happen again and again.  "But it's coming,"  Yeah, right.  I would love to believe that on some level, and I'm more open to such a thing as never before, anticipatory even, yet I see the way that memes like ascension are given life and energy, only seeming to support various sorts of industries that crop up around them.  I can safely state this: Universe is not trying to sell us anything.

NASA has announced some interesting things of late, including finding new objects at the end of the electromagnetic spectrum and gamma-ray bubbles at the center of our galaxy that span fifty-thousand lightyears.  I have heard some say that these discoveries are indicative of a coming shift, but they're just people's theories.  Even if one were to give the killer solar storm some measure of possibility, I believe one must beware the meme here.  The 'series of cataclysms' story from Popovich and others is just a story at this point.  It has all the markings of another "it's just around the corner" type of (end times) event or series of events (to come).  If there's anything to it, we'll know soon enough, as a beckoning will come from within.  Universe does what she does and our planet does what she does, and we move through linear time.  I have yet to see any evidence of any solar event seriously affecting humanity in my lifetime.  I'm not saying something like that is impossible, but it is Pi in the sky from my viewpoint.

Ironically, my last post was about trying to find context for a variety of bizarre consciousness-related experiences I've had over the past few years while managing to avoid the many memes that are out there regarding a shift, ascension or whatever you'd like to call it.  That's one of the main reasons that I've been watching what many of the people that I mention on this blog have been saying: because I've seen, felt and experienced a series of things that as yet have no context and it appears that they could be related to some kind of shifting in conscious awareness.  What I've experienced certainly has been for me, although not on a constant or permanent basis.  I know there is infinitely more out there than meets the physical eye, and I do feel as if a time is coming when the veil will thin or completely dissolve.  My internal beckoning began back in 2007 with the simple repeated message during meditation of "raise your vibration." 

Yet it could be that there's no meaning to any of it.  It could be that it just is what it is.  It could be that all of these ascension memes are propagated by people who have one thing in common:  they want to sell you something, whether it's a book, a dvd, a crystal, a mineral, an essential oil or a weekend retreat.  Other than the themes of their stories, that's the lowest common denominator here.  It always disappoints me, as it did when I discovered Lisa Renee's website last week.  Once again I resonated with an author or speaker and then I look at their website and see that they've commoditized themselves.  People say, well, you have to make a living, right?  Perhaps.  I don't judge people who do that, and I'm not doing that here.  But it's commerce, and commerce is the beast itself, or at least a big part of it.  My profit, your loss.  It's a major pillar of the dysfunctional reality in which we currently find ourselves.  And I've spent a large portion of my adult life commoditizing works of art, so I understand what it's like to do that.

I'm not an expert in other dimensions or understanding the Multiverse.  Far from it.  I'm just a traveler, a wanderer.  As I've said all along I have no answers, just experiences.  I believe however that I can safely say that commerce is not a word, idea or practice or thought in another, higher vibrational dimension.  It is one of the heaviest shackles around the ankles of humanity at present.  It holds us at our particular vectors point in life.  On the other hand, when you're in tune with Universe, she provides in the most astounding of ways.  We are the only creatures on the planet that create garbage.  Think about that for a minute.  Where does the garbage come from?  For the most part, it's things that others have sold us.  Can you see the matrix we're in?  Remove consumption as we know it, replace the written word and language with telepathic imagery, travel with teleportation, food with getting our nurishment directly from the sun or the energy that Nikola Tesla discovered could be harnessed from the air around us, and we would have ourselves a new earth indeed.

What I do find interesting though in what Drunvalo describes is that if we had such an event as an electromagnetic pulse that virtually wiped out our electronic world, we would indeed be faced with a brand new series of choices on how to live, individually and collectively.  Such an event would be a Grand Equalizer of sorts.  However likely or unlikely such an event is, wouldn't it have the same chance of happening without the ascension memes attached to it?  Haven't memes of impending doom been with humanity for thousands upon thousands of years? 

For some reason I see a corollary to separation theology here - the impending cataclysmic event that's potentially scary yet we're not supposed to be afraid of said event.  My mind drifts back to my childhood when I had stories of the many judgments of the Book of Revelation presented to me, over and over.  We were warned of coming cataclysms, yet told everything would be okay if we stayed close to G-d.  Either way, it all makes a good story.  If everyone chose to live from the heart, vibrating at their highest and best, what a wonderful world it would be.  But the reality is that there are all kinds of people in the human family.  I don't believe it would be a nice and orderly process, so to speak, getting everyone on the same page.  Anyone who's tried to rally twenty people around a concept in order to discuss and find consensus can attest to that.  As similar as we all are, we're still very different from each other.  Each of us has his or her own mosaic of reality, our reality tunnel, and they're all as different as fingerprints.  We're all experiencing life differently.

Such an arrival at a new consensus reality would likely be messy, sticky, and unpredictable.  There are so many variables that it's anyone's guess where some kind of new consensus would lead us, even if it had an approval of the majority of humanity.  Hundredth Monkey effect?  Perhaps, as I've said in the past, but we're talking a global quantum leap away from materialism.  Good luck with that.  The Grand Equalizer type of event that I mentioned seems the most plausible means to that end... "the old life is completely gone... we must rethink our existence."  That being said, how would the remnants of the old sociopolitical system feel about such things?  To say there would be no resistance to a major change like that from the old guard is somewhat naive.  Or is it?  I'd like to think we're all human, so to speak, and we could find consensus, but I honestly don't know how likely that would be.  As a hope, it's there for me, but in reality, who knows. 

Something that someone wrote in the comments below the video on YouTube made me think I'd heard it before:

"No need to fear, portals will open within ourselves automatically and we know all what we need to know. No fear."

I remember a close friend telling me during my time in the woo-woo in late 2009, "You're having an awakening.  The Russians know all about this.  They've been researching this stuff for years.  They want people to wake up.  There's a universal force leading us each individually to another level of consciousness because our current level is not sustainable without destroying ourselves."  Could this really be happening?  It would perhaps explain at least some of what I've seen and experienced.  Context?  And then what?  The ecstatic reality of life in a higher dimension, finally?  Yes.  Or, is it just another day on planet earth and this is just another story.  As always, the path to whatever this could be or not be lies somewhere further down the massive grinding wheel of linear time.  And so we move along.  Thanks to Lilou Mace for the interview and Drunvalo for taking the time to share his thoughts.

Year Zero: Restate My Assumptions

I've been meaning to post since last November, but have been extremely busy and unable to devote time to writing.  I'd like to say thank you to the people who have posted comments here over the past few months.  Sorry that I haven't had time to respond.  I'm glad that something I've shared might have effected someone else in a positive way.  That makes it all the more worth it to share my thoughts and experiences.  Despite having a full schedule, over the past nine months I have continued my reading and listening to lectures, ever-fascinated with the possibility of receiving some new insight that will enhance and further develop my reality tunnel, my mosaic, the way in which I perceive Universe.  This is a core passion of mine.  Somewhere, deep down inside, I know there is something greater to be discovered, something that has to do with who we truly are beyond our physical shells.  I wonder sometimes if at some point, perhaps after moving on from this plane, I'll have a hearty laugh over the true nature of the physical world and our place within it as sentient beings.  That is my hope.

Compared with where my path has taken me over the past several years, Dark Night of the Soul, Cosmic Initiation and all, I am happy to be employed once again, even if it feels like a grind at times.  Last year around this time I was about three months away from becoming homeless.  Despite years of hard work, I'd lost my business.  This was something that I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life.  That wasn't all I lost.  My entire life crumbled before my eyes, and I lost my dearest love, someone who had brought me up to the Dark Night, which I would face alone.  I have been extremely blessed in that I have pursued many passions over the years, but this last one that I had turned into a business was, to my surprise, seemingly stronger than many passions of the past.  Ironically, it was the third time that particular situation occurred in my life within the last fifteen years, through no fault of my own.  Rather, I was a statistic, a side effect, of some national or global economic hiccup.  Regardless, I savor the blessings of getting to live many of my passions during this physical incarnation.

As my Dark Night of the Soul began, once again I had found myself adrift in a stormy sea.  Hopelessness like I had never known before was my constant companion.  A few of my friends were and still are in similar boats.  My heart goes out to those who are struggling to survive, all over this planet.  They struggle because this is the best that human civilization can do after many thousands of years of existence.  This is the best we have been able to do.  The evidence is all around us.  The current state of affairs in the world, our systems, our social structure, rampant suffering, is overwhelming, complicated and growing.  Yet what we see today is the cumulative effort of generations of humans over eons of linear time.  Where is Utopia?  Why is humanity so dysfunctional?  As I move through this life, I constantly add to and develop my perceptions of reality, and these are some of the questions that I ask as life continues.  I then contrast the assumptions of my perceptive mosaic and try to find a bridge between the two; context.

One of the most important lessons that I took from my two-plus years of dark time was to simply imagine a better world.  When I say that, I mean really imagine a better world:  no money, no commerce as we know it.  In their stead, a consensus reality rooted in peace, joy, cooperation and creativity.  It's an extremely tall order, I know, and most would say it's simply naive; inconceivable.  But it's not.  It's really not.  Our perceptions of the physical world and what is possible within it are so clouded that many generations of humans have become numb to the real magic of Universe over time.  I believe we've lost our way.  We've also been sold a bill of goods as to what's possible, how humans should live, what the true meaning of life is, etc.  It amazes me that when I engage people in conversations about what such a (new) world would be like, they primarily become reactive, echoing memes much like the media that shapes their perceptions of the physical world. 

To look beyond your box and shift your perceptions, just take time to observe all of the simple beauties that surround us, despite what your current life situation might be.  Are you able to see that even decay has great beauty?  What we have collectively been told by our social, religious and governmental entities is essentially lies.  The lies are many, layer upon layer.  During my Cosmic Initiation I was clearly and repeatedly told that virtually everything in this world is upside-down, opposite of the way things should be.  "But you can't have a society without money," people tell me; or "People must be governed," "Nobody wants chaos."  Really?  I wonder.

I ask myself if people who can't conceive of a better world are that entrenched, that myopic, that overwhelmingly enthralled by the cage they're in (hey - it has cable tv!) that they can't even imagine a world outside of their current box.  To those people, I say take a moment and look up at the reflection of infinity some evening while staring into the night sky.  Is this really the best world that we as a race of beings can imagine?  What is a country anyway?  It's a corporation.  The best slaves are the ones who think they are free.  We're inside a dense game of Monopoly, and we're playing that game to our detriment as time is wasted, time that could have been spent doing much more interesting things.  Imagine a world fueled by creativity, where each of us spent a significant portion of our lives making the world a better place for future generations, similar to The Great Law of Peace established by the Iriquois.  Maybe that's part of my Iriquois roots showing, but I believe it's more than that.  That type of thinking deeply resonates within me, yet it is only a doorway.  Great wonder lies beyond a commitment to build a world with those intentions.  Wonder that I'm afraid many cannot even comprehend.

2011 was a profoundly interesting year, filled with signature moments, from the tragic to the inspirational.  October 28th, 2011, the date that Carl Calleman postulated was to be the end of the 9th Wave of the Mayan long count calendar, came and went without much fanfare.  As I've said all along, I remain ultimately skeptical about a lot of what has been said regarding the times in which we live in terms of change, new thought and new ways in which to experience life such as what has been referred to as ascension.  I believe I would like to experience such a thing if it were to occur.  There is a deeply rooted part of my soul that aches for such a thing.  I'm an explorer at heart, and the greatest journey I can conceive of is inter-dimensionally traveling through the Multiverse.  Queue wonder, joy, peace and excitement.

However, I just don't know how likely something like that is, in terms of 'ascension' or humanity collectively shifting from the current paradigm into a wide open field of new possibilities and new ways of life.  I know it's possible, anything is possible, but how likely is it really?  If you read the many websites and forums regarding ascension, you'll see that there are thousands of individuals out there claiming to be receiving messages from beyond our planet, messages of hope from benevolent beings, and yet, there appears to be no evidence of a paradigm shift at all, only narratives about "it's started," "it's happening now," "it's coming soon," etc.  "Yes, I say, bring it," and then I release from expectation.  Not doing so can result in going down a rabbit hole of spinning memes with no discernible roots in truth.

But such musings also leave me seriously conflicted.  I have to say that a new kind of world is precisely what I saw during my weeks in the woo-woo in late '09 - early '10.  What I saw and experienced then was this planet literally vibrating into a split, into two earths, each vibrating at its own frequency, and one of those earths was vibrating at a much higher frequency than our current physical world.  Months later I was surprised to discover Dolores Cannon and others who were talking extensively about that very thing.  At the time of my experience, I was convinced that it had actually occurred and went looking for confirmations in my environment, yet there were none. My deep woo-woo experiences were vividly ecstatic, but at the same time, the pendulum would swing wildly with what I was shown.  I also saw a lot of destruction, suffering and some things of which I have not yet spoken.

On the web, it appears there are multiple narratives regarding some kind of shift that have been gathering steam for years now.  Even with my experiences, I would say beware the meme.  I often wonder if these same narratives, perhaps slightly altered for each era in linear time, have been with humanity for longer than anyone would care to admit, and we're just experiencing today's memes in a new way via the internet.  Or - are these stories of anticipation of some kind of tipping point just a byproduct of a race that has lost its way, creating more suffering than good, and collectively attempting to project a shift in its reality?  It's a curious mental stew.

We are creatures of hope.  Without it, we perish, game over.  Do we create stories of hope to avoid despair?  Isn't that the basis of the various myths around the world - the story of the hero and the hero as each one of us?  Perhaps I've spent too much time reading and listening to the work of the late Joseph Campbell, but I don't think so.  In between sleeping and waking, I have at times caught myself in what appears to have been my own narrative, as if I'm telling my life's story in a part of my mind to some other place as my life unfolds... my rationales, opinions, motivations, etc.  Are we essentially just telling each other stories of hope in order to keep from becoming hopeless or do we really believe that the world will one day quickly transform into a new place, a place of peace and joy?  I know I believe and I know that others do as well.  So why hasn't anything in terms of a real shift occurred?  The simple explanation could be that there are too many variables currently at play, and events are unfolding according to a complicated chain of cause and effect.  Or not.

I know there is more out there.  I've seen beyond my box.  In the past five years alone, I have had an increasing array of rather bizarre occurrences for which I am still seeking context.  These include having what is best described as 1) a spontaneous kundalini experience, during which time I tapped into a kind of hyper-dimensional information stream for several weeks (randomly and without effort) wherein I experienced a completely different world; 2) experiencing incredible bliss while being formless; and 3) (my essence) pouring out (from within a painting) into another (strange yet familiar) material reality with my full waking awareness.  I've seen glimpses of real magic.  That I can't deny.  As a result, it leaves me with a thirst, a hunger for more.  Even with that result, knowing that there is a desire growing within me, I occasionally need to check myself and reevaluate. 

It's my desire to constantly become more in tune with the universal forces that drive me, as if trying to solve a massive series of riddles.  At the same time, in terms of figuring anything out, Occam's Razor likely describes the solution to the mysteries best - the keys to the secrets of Universe - like hyper-dimensional travel, 360° vision, telepathy, communication beyond language via high speed image montages, materializing at will and teleportation are accessible to each of us.  I was shown this in late 2009.  I believe it to be plausible that said keys are ultimately accessible by very simple means.  Sometimes I wonder if those keys might unlock doors of perception in a simple realization, something basic, ingrained within all of us, somewhere.  Can such a connection be made even before a soul has learned the lessons that are part of this physical incarnation?  That too seems plausible to me.  Lessons, hmm.  Why else would we be here?

Clif High said something in a recent interview resonated heavily with me.  He talked about the desire to understand how Universe wishes to create itself.  That's an exploration that will really bake one's noodle.  And yet I feel that aptly describes where I'm at in my journey at this point in linear time.  I firmly believe that there is more to this existence, this physical life, than meets the eye.  I can safely say that is a given.  Mysteries abound, but just what are they, and are they, too, infinite in nature?  If you take the time to seek, you will see Universe reveal its ways in subtle yet enchanting form.  In stillness, awareness of the magic of Universe begins to bloom like a beautiful flower.  One can get a sense that despite what happens in this physical life, everything is indeed going to be okay.

In late 2007, about three months after I began this blog to write about my experiences living and working in virtual reality simulators, I started to receive inspiration to seriously explore out of body experiences, past life regressions and other subjects along those lines.  I had done this at various points previously in my life, and like an old dearly loved friend, these inspirations have grown exponentially since that time.  My years of work dismantling my inherited belief systems were at such a point that there was capacity to for me to move in those directions and explore like never before.  Inspirations came as a fresh waves over time.  They seem to occur every few years or so.  What I like about them is that I've used such times to exercise critical thinking in terms of my assumptions about the nature of reality.  These times are for reassessment and fresh analysis.  I take my mosaic or reality tunnel and turn it on its head.  Year Zero: Restate my assumptions.  The assumptions contained in that clip from Darren Aronofsky's brilliant film, Pi, have been a part of my reality tunnel since the 90s.

Over the past few months, I've read the Hidden Hand postings, Ra's "The Law of One," "Tao Te Ching" and Malcolm Godwin's "The Lucid Dreamer".  I've also listened to many lectures, including recent interviews with Dolores Cannon, Clif High and Ananda Bosman.  I was also following the recent sagas of Benjamin Fulford and David Wilcock for a time, mostly out of curiosity.  If you're not aware of those individuals and their recent stories, you can read more about them both here, on Summer Burkes' blog.  Both situations appeared to me to be eerily similar to Bill Ryan's communications with "Charles" last year, a shadowy figure from within some powerful shadow organization with a rather strange tale to tell about the manipulation of humanity over thousands of years.  All I can say about Fulford, Wilcock and Ryan is again, beware the meme.  That's not to say anything negative about any of them or posit that their stories couldn't lead to something positive.  One must question everything, and in these times, at this point in our history, it's more important than ever.  Part of the human experience is getting caught up in and acting out dramas.  It happens to all of us.  Still, it is key to question everything.

It appears to me that there are many narratives running loosely along the ascension and 2012 memes.  People with alleged secrets or inside knowledge pop up here and there, spin yarns and then fade into the background shortly thereafter.  They are typically stories of the hero fighting against the larger, corrupt system.  Many of those narratives read to me like reflections of separation theology, which is the fundamental dogmatic apparatus of most organized religions.  I take them all with a grain of salt.  Many are simply distractions.  Nobody's coming (to save us).  The way out is within.  It's an individual experience, one that comes from a concentration on opening the heart.  The Now, and being fully present in the Now, is the best teacher I have found to date, and I have had many teachers.

The beautiful thing about the Now is that it's always there, always accessible, in an instant, no matter what situation in which you might find yourself, and until death comes and we cast off these physical shells, no one can take The Now away.  There is nothing that any of us need to look to that is outside of ourselves.  Being.  Being here, now, is all that counts.  Have you noticed how our technology, corporations, governments and the media are pushing us in the opposite direction, seemingly with greater force as time goes on?  Distractions.  There is nothing better than experiencing life being fully present in each moment, and yet for many, it becomes more difficult to do so as we move through linear time.  Sometimes I feel as though this is the simple thing that Universe is attempting to communicate to us, as if therein lies all the answers to our myriad problems of earthly existence and our potential evolution as a species.

In my latest Year Zero event, I have restated my assumptions.  Here they are:  We have incarnated physically here to learn and therefore to grow, spiritually.  We all did this through sacred contracts long before our arrival, as we have done over and over for eons here and elsewhere.  As part of our pact of life experience within this density, we agreed to have our cumulative lifetime memories, or access thereto, blocked or veiled, so that we could experience the Law of Confusion in a polarized world.  Hermetic Law gives us clues to understanding the paradigm.  I can say from my time in the woo-woo that the real magic of Universe is virtually incomprehensible.  It's not what any of us thinks.  It's beyond comprehension, and each person's awakening process to the wonder of Universe is an individual journey that unfolds in very personal ways, as if each awakening process is custom made.

We're here to develop our souls through the experiences of polarity, right and wrong, black and white.  Yet we come, as energy systems, as sparks of Source, of the All That Is, the great energetic mind in which we live and breathe, into physical form from a place where there is only 'rightwrong' and 'blackwhite,' beyond this dimension.  Universe unfolds according to Hermetic Law, as outlined in the Kybalion.  There are seven Universal Principles:  Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender.  Essentially there are no opposites, only opposite ends of a given spectrum.  "There's a thin line, between love and hate," as the song goes.  Think about that for a moment.  Many can't even conceive of such things, so they remain in essence slaves to the dramas of life and sew the seeds of victimhood and ignorance in doing so.

We are essentially inside an infinite holographic simulator of some kind, and we're in a dense sector.  As above, so below.  Other dimensions exist, perhaps even infinitely.  Other parts of ourselves exist in some of these other dimensions.  There is a higher version of ourselves that exists, vibrating at a higher level, in a higher dimension, outside of linear time.  This higher self works with our spirit guides and/or angels, and guides our experiences based on our choices so that the lessons we came here to learn are presented to us, despite our choices or station in life.  There is no escape, regardless of life choices, from lessons being presented in real life dramatic fashion.  In Kabbalah, this is called one's tikkun, things that we personally have to work out, to learn, and in doing so make the world a better place.  This higher self could be, from our current perspective, a future versions of each of us.

Other energy systems and/or entities from other dimensions transit at various points through our daily lives, yet like two-dimensional flat shapes on a flat plane that would find it impossible to comprehend a three-dimensional being, we remain largely constrained within our 3D reality and its density, unable to fully comprehend dimensional realities that are vibrating at a higher frequency than ours.  There must be ways by which one can master transit at will to other dimensional experiences.  That is the prize that I have sought my entire life.  Over time I began to tell myself that I already know the answers to the questions I ponder, and that it's a simple act of remembrance that is the key that will unlock all doors.  That would be a simple solution right there, however difficult.






I ask myself -- If all that there is, and all that ever was, is love - is that a clue that would lead to further understanding of Universe?  How far must one go to be love incarnate?  What does that actually mean in terms of moment by moment living of life?  Does wisdom play a part in balancing what would otherwise be an all-consuming, runaway compassion?  If, as The Law of One states, "There is only one of us here," then what are we collectively running from, as a race, in terms of a full understanding of selves and our place in Universe?  Or, are we being manipulated beyond our ability to comprehend?  If we are being manipulated, is the manipulation taking place just so we might learn lessons and realize, in terms of a starting point, who or what we don't want to be?

Could it be that this entire physical life experience, based on learning, isn't nearly as serious as we make it out to be, and it's essentially a game that resets itself after each physical incarnation?  Is our true nature to exist with 'lovehate' or 'hatelove,' sans polarity as we know it, since Hermetic Law says that they are one in the same, just opposite sides of the same spectrum?  I continue to tell myself that I'm a spiritual being having a human experience in a polarized 3D materium.  Having worked inside 3D simulators for several years, this has been part of my mosiac / reality tunnel for some years now.  I believe Universe brought me to that place as part of my awakening process.  This planet, I now believe, is in fact some sort of school.  Successful completion of previously outlined lessons could lead to vibrating at a higher level, thus, opening the doors to higher dimensions.  Then again, that may not be the case at all.  

I've identified as an Indigo Child since first reading about the subject many years ago.  This could be my first time here on earth.  Perhaps it is, yet I have seen glimpses of memories from worlds unknown to me in this lifetime.  Could some of that be what is called cellular memory, part of my ancestral DNA or are they scenes from past incarnations?  I believe it's likely that I'm what Dolores Cannon has come to call a Volunteer Soul.  That concept resonates with me greatly, and it would explain a lot if it were true.  Five words could sum up my physical incarnation:  stranger in a strange land.  There is so much that I don't understand in terms of why things are the way they are on this planet... suffering begetting more suffering.  For some reason, Ravel's "Bolero" seems a fitting piece of music to serve as the soundtrack for the circle of life.   I just thought I'd mention that, haha.

I'm not a glass-half-full kind of person, but by and large, people are suffering, and many all over the world have nothing to eat, no fresh water, etc.  We're saying to Universe on some level, "This is the best we can do.  It's every person for him or herself.  It's just the way it is."  Planetary school or no school, this continues to bother me.  Some would say, "So change it," and I do try in my daily life that is before me, in each moment.  Anything else is dreaming, but I do dream as well.  I dream big.  When I contrast the natural beauty of the planet and the creations of some of the most prolifically talented people around the world, I arrive at a bittersweet irony.  Will there ever be a true paradigm shift, where we, as a race of sentient beings, drops the shackles of our consumption-based, Madison Avenue-fueled, pharmaceutical-drenched existence to step into and collectively embrace a new era and new ways of being?  I'm talking beyond one's wildest dreams here.

If that is ever to occur, it will start with a simple thought:  I can imagine a better world.  I believe that if we can mentally conceive of something, however far from technological capacity it may be at any time, it's ultimately doable.  So naive or not, ascension / paradigm shift or not, I choose to experience the rest of my journey in the Now, my perfect teacher.  I believe that the archenemy of humanity is the human ego.  One can trace most if not all of the world's problems to the ego (e-g-o: everybody's got one).  I believe that if there is such a thing as "The Beast" of biblical scripture and/or myth is commerce itself; it's consumption.  This, too, has been part of my reality for some years now.

It appears to be so obvious to me.  Our civilized world with all of its corruption, is a largely a mutant bastardization of the gift of life.  Within that bastardization lie the banksters, the corporations and their many minions that we know as politicians and leaders.  It's such a joke once you really begin to look closely at the whole thing.  Bread and circus for the masses, eagerly served up 24/7 by the media, while greed runs its course across the long table of consumption as (figurative, programmed) swine feast endlessly.  Our world runs on the premise of infinite economic growth, as if the resources of the planet and the blood, sweat and tears of its inhabitants has no end.  It does have an end.  We cannot continue like this if we wish to survive.  That much is evident to many around the world today, and for that I am thankful.  Could it be that we're gaining some traction?

Up until this point in linear time though, this is the best we have managed to do and it's rather disappointing.  But that doesn't mean that there isn't hope.  We live within a universe of infinite possibilities, therefore, the potential for a paradigm shift is there, it's just a matter of if and when.  I can't say that I put much hope in the messages of channelers.  More of them have emerged over time, and their messages, at least to me, seem to be proverbial carrots dangling on sticks.  Just like the ascension and 2012 cataclysm memes, "something" is always "just around the corner" and yet nothing out of the ordinary appears to happen that would usher in any kind of real change.  I've seen these cycles come and go since I was a teen and began reading consciousness-related materials.

Many memes within the 'consciousness community' appear to me to be eerily similar to the impassioned chatter of many televangelists of the past several decades who have predicted trials, tribulations, future events and end times.  I often wonder if those types of narratives are part of the game that keeps us locked inside of this matrix of consumption and materialism.  Perhaps time will tell, perhaps not.  In life, one must learn to expect the unexpected, to be prepared for the blindsiding effects of black swans.  Certainly considering various viewpoints is healthy, and can help one to gain further understanding, but too much immersion and we fall victim to the memes themselves.  I would venture a guess that we'll see plenty more black swan-like events before anything that resembles the many ascension memes.  As for anything you find written here, take what resonates, if anything, and discard the rest.

I may sound like somewhat of a pessimist, but I'm not.  I have lived by the mantra, "Never lose your sense of wonder" since my early years, and I do believe that in order for a paradigm shift to occur that would usher in a grand new human life experience, it has to start with a single thought, and that thought could be to imagine a better world, as I stated earlier here.  Everything in this physical plane begins with a thought, however unlikely or seemingly impossible such a thought would be.  I do know also that any thoughts must initiate action in order to be fully physically realized.  Over the past few years we've seen sparks... the 'spring' movements in various countries, the Occupy movement here in the US.  They give me hope, but for now, all I can do is to live moment to moment, with mindfulness and a dedication to stay in the Now.  When I use my imagination, I say "Why not?" to a better world, a better way of life, to the expansion of human consciousness that reaches for the keys to the secrets of Universe and all of its infinite possibilities. 

Are we approaching Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero or will life continue to go on as it has, with humanity stuck inside of an outdated paradigm that does itself and the planet no good?  All that I have, all that I have ever had, is the present, the Now.  The time for gurus has passed.  Simply being, loving and living out each moment, no matter what comes, is all there is.  Is that essentially part of the human physical experience on earth, desperate to repeat itself over and over, to hope for hope's sake - or do simple thoughts, dreams and hopes of a better world lay down the track for human evolution to race across in future years?

As I've said all along, I don't have any answers.  I am just a being experiencing this life.  Events globally have unfolded in an intriguing way over the past decade or so, enough to make me wonder how much longer the current paradigm is sustainable.  When I couple those observations with my own somewhat bizarre consciousness-related experiences, I can't help but wonder if we are approaching some kind of tipping point.  It would certainly give me context for many things, yet often times Universe offers no context, so becoming attached to outcomes or expectations does no good.  One must surrender to the present moment and just live.  And as I live, hope - great hope, continues to live with me, regardless of my assumptions or whatever my mosaic of perception looks like at any given time.

Here are some recent videos that you might find interesting...

Lisa Renee on Hundredth Monkey Radio.  This was a real blessing for me to find.  Fascinating.  This one starts somewhere past the six minute mark.  I have just listened to this as I finished this post while retrieving the saved video links for Dolores and Clif below.  Lisa's spontaneous kundalini experience, though different than mine (hers was apparently much more painful), has so many eerily similar details to mine, including the precursor of a Dark Night of the Soul experience, that it nearly freaked me out.  She uses the word 'initiation,' as did I, and talks frankly about how one questions one's sanity when this type of event string unfolds.  This is the first time that I've come across someone who appears to have had the same series of experiences - Wow.  And talk about timing - Whoah.

New Documentary Coming: Thrive

I haven't had much time to post lately, however, I thought I would do a quick post regarding an upcoming documentary entitled, "Thrive," which is scheduled to debut online on November 11th.  The trailer is below.  At first glance, the film appears to be quite interesting, at least to me.  More information can be found at the Thrive Movement website.  Revolutionary change is needed on a global scale.  The current systems are broken and no longer serve the interests of the average person.  Why not today?  Why not right now?  We can change the world - for the better, for future generations, for the good of all.  Enjoy.

Clif High Interview On Time Monk Radio Network 6.4.2011

I was pleased to see recently that Clif High from Half Past Human and Web Bot fame had emerged again recently and had been doing some interviews.  The last I heard was that he was working data for the formulation of the latest round of Web Bot predictions and suffered some kind of computer or server attack, losing much or all of his data.  As I understand it, he's back working with the data again and a new "Shape of Things to Come" newsletter has recently been made available (in May) from Half Past Human.

From what I've read and can imagine, sifting through the Web Bot data and doing the analysis the takes Clif and his team weeks once their proprietary software has completed crawling the web gathering the raw data.  I was fortunate to have also listened to a recent interview that Clif had done with Veritas Radio around the same time, however, that interview appears to have been pulled from the open web (otherwise I'd post that one here as well), and instead it costs eight dollars a month for a subscription to Veritas in order to view their content.  That's kind of a bummer, since I could listen to Clif for hours on end, but the interview below touches on a lot of the same subject matter.

The always intriguing, provocative and highly intelligent linguistics expert talks about what he has found recently in terms of language patterns on the web, and what we could be looking at going forward in 2011, including developments in ongoing events such as the Fukushima disaster.  It's another excellent interview with Clif from Time Monk Radio Network, the Web Bot Forum's YouTube channel.  The interview is in 12 parts, all of which should be accessible within the window below.  If not, hop on over to their YT channel and check it out.

New Website And Web Book Coming From WingMakers

In my effort to catch up with material I'd  come across during an extended downtime, I've set this up to post automatically during my time of limited computer access.  The WingMakers have launched another website, SpiritState, the focus of which is a forthcoming web book entitled, "The Dohrman Prophecy."  I've only just gotten to explore the new website over the past day or so and have signed up to participate in whatever they have to offer.  Virtually all of the WingMakers materials have resonated with me greatly, so I'm looking forward to reading the web book.  And, as I stated in my last post, my commentary for the time being on any posts will be at a minimum.  Perhaps that's a good thing.  Below is more information about the website and the new book, which I believe is the most significant release of materials from WingMakers in some time, perhaps since EventTemples.

The following is from Mark Hempel via the WingMakers' SpiritState website:

"The SpiritState Web Book Platform is the latest offering from James, the creator, author, composer, and artist who first launched the multidimensional and mind-expanding WingMakers website. Since 1998 over ten million people from across the globe have enjoyed the storytelling, art, music and spiritual philosophy of this innovative and visionary creator.

The SpiritState Platform will enable James to release his latest works, the first of which is The Dohrman Prophecy, a new mythos-based novel as powerful in its storytelling as it is in its philosophical prose. The Dohrman Prophecy is available exclusively as a Web Book, a technology that James commissioned from LightCode to enable readers to take notes, share comments, and connect with one another as they read, view and absorb the material.

The Ancient Arrow Project is a centerpiece in the WingMakers' materials and it has been completely re-imagined on this Web Book Platform, and it comes with a thirty day free trial. Also, James will be releasing the Collected Works of the WingMakers in two expansive volumes with editorial commentary by John Berges, a lifelong student of the world's esoteric spiritual works. This will be released on the Web Book Platform in the coming months..." [read more]

And below is a trailer for the Dohrman Prophecy web book.  As always, the quality of the WingMakers materials is outstanding.  My thanks to James, Mark and the other content creators for making this material available for free online.  Enjoy.





Update:  Some caveats regarding the website.  It appears to still be in its last states of incubation.  I registered and spent some time exploring.  The site is set up as a social networking website, a bit similar to but more detailed than Event Temples.  Apparently on SpiritState one can search for and befriend other members, but I couldn't get any of the search controls to deliver results with multiple logins, other than keywords within the "SpiritState User Guide," which is the only web book currently available, as "The Dohrman Prophecy" is yet to be released.  The second thing that I noticed after registering and receiving an account activation email was that the "The Dorhman Prophecy" is stated to be offered as a "Free 30-day trial," yet there are no "buy now" pages or parameters within the registration page that required any financial information.  The site also contains no advertising, which is great, but may portend that upon expiration of my 30-day trial, I'll be presented with a browser window that requires membership payments of some kind.  I'll know in thirty days.  Another feature or lack thereof that bothered me was that first and last names were required, yet no screen or website name.  In these days of multiple layers of privacy concerns, I didn't like that.  If I notice any changes I'll post an update here.

Back After A Break: A Journey Update Mid-2011

It's been some time since my last post.  Life events have unfolded in a way recently that have made it difficult for me to post regularly.  Said events are best described as a series of contractions, as if everything I had come to rely upon in my life, including the ability to pursue my creative outlets, has been moved outside of my grasp in virtually every area.  I feel a sense of irony that these things have been occurring at a point in my journey where I have been shown over and over the need to release things, to surrender to the present moment and detach from the past.  I feel as though I'm standing on a small island that keeps getting smaller very quickly as the days pass and it's somewhat frightening at times.  Yet, in some sense there's a comfort that I find there, knowing what I know now... that everything is illusory, temporary and in motion.  Lately as things continue to crumble around me, I wonder if I'm resisting going through some kind of door by trying to maintain the status quo in my life, which has progressively dwindled over the past few years at an ever-increasing pace.  When things get to the point where you have no place to live or to store what remains of your belongings, it is extremely difficult not to focus on lack and rather, abundance.  I've wondered recently if this is a blessing or a curse.  It's likely the former, but it's still tough.

I continue to incorporate what I learned in the last book that I mentioned, "Science of Being," which is where I left off back in early April.  At that time, I couldn't decide whether my next post was going to be about where we are now in the Mayan Universal Cycle or to focus on the brilliance of the late Terence McKenna as presented in his final earthly interview, which will be the subject of my next post.  During my absence from the blog, I had an unexpected house guest for a few weeks and we both did a master cleanse while she was here.  I occasionally wandered back to the aforementioned "Science of Being" for inspiration while we fasted and spent an increased amount of time in meditation.  During the ten-day cleanse, I meditated on such things as "I am not my thoughts," the concept of cognitive dissonance, polarity and other simple profundities that can really get one's wheels spinning once the bonds of accumulated toxins and [negative] food influences are broken.  As it turned out, I wasn't all that toxic, but I was way overdue for a fast of some kind, however short it might have been.  Given what has happened to me over the past few years in terms of awakening, I was eager for a breakthrough during the fast.  Although I had some insights, I have no new event or breakthrough to speak of at this time.

I'm still on the fence about the Mayan Calendar in terms of corollaries to an evolution of consciousness.  I remain hopeful, yet skeptical.  Certainly we're within the calendar's final time frame, whatever that does or doesn't mean.  In terms of relevance to the evolution of life on earth, I believe that remains to be seen.  I've wondered a lot lately if such a potential leap in consciousness (as has been discussed by many) could simply be an "Aha" moment of realization that starts with a single individual, eventually leading to a Hundredth Monkey Effect that produces a palpable shift in the way in which most everyone around the world thinks and views their existence.  That type of tipping point could literally usher in the spirit of a new age.  I'd written about that here previously.  Looking at world events that have transpired thus far this year in many categories, it seems plausible to me that we could be heading toward type of consciousness or awareness epoch like that, however, given the ending time of the Mayan Ninth Wave, late October of this year, that would seem to portend that we are due to experience even more profound events than those already seen this year, both positive and negative, in a relatively short period of time and at an increased frequency.  

Leading Mayan interpreters Ian Lungold and Carl Calleman had originally placed the start of the Ninth Wave on February 11th.  Calleman has since adjusted that date to March 9th.  I still find myself placing the start of the Universal Cycle where Lungold (he has since passed on) had originally placed it years ago, February 11th.  Perhaps that is because I happened to be streaming Al Jazeera during the Egyptian night when Mubarak defied the people in a speech, only to emerge the next morning, February 11th, to announce he was stepping down.  Because that event took place in Egypt, from which humans measured time for thousands of years before the British moved the Prime Meridian, I thought it was significant, since the movement of humanity between Mayan calendar cycles is typically indicative of the birth of new systems and new levels of awareness, and the previous cycle's systems and socioeconomic structures fall, yeilding to new ways of thinking and being.  I suppose for the people of Egypt it appears to have been a positive event thus far and I hope that is the case for the long term, not only for Egypt but for all the other countries that the Egyptian people have inspired since.

I also have concerns with the meddling of corporate interests to suit their own ends, not only in that region of the world but across the globe.  It seems evident to me that we live in a world shaped and sculpted to suit the needs of corporate interests in their never-ending quest for profit and unlimited economic growth.  I find the latter laughable.  There's no such thing.  The fact that we could be approaching a tipping point in terms of the global population and depletion of resources makes it easy to see that at some point in the future, a world beyond economic growth per se may be one of the only ways to sustain humanity.  In such a scenario, we as a species would have to move from a survival-based consciousness to one of universal explorers and creators, expanding upon our own uniqueness, individually and collectively.  Before anything like that could occur, some big leaps in thinking and awareness would have to be resonating within the human collective at a high frequency.

Such leaps would likely have their best hopes for realization if societal structures reflective of outdated paradigms gave way - completely - to exciting new ideas.  What that likelihood is at any given point in history is anyone's guess.  Many people spoke of a wave of revolution after Egypt, and in some countries that has occurred, large public demonstrations in others, but are these events indicative of something in terms of a breakdown or shift in the established order?  Or are these political uprisings, however organic and well-meaning being manipulated by the same military industrial complex that serves as an arm of the multinational conglomerates?  I had been casually marking dates on my own calendar that are of general significance since the start of the Ninth Wave, especially regarding weather and natural disasters.  I happened to watch an Australian television show online called "100 Days of Disaster," which presented 2011's disasters thus far, through the first hundred days of the calendar year.  Since then, the US has experienced waves of severe tornadoes have swept through parts of the midwest and south, annihilating entire communities.  Floods and fires continue across the globe along with earthquakes and volcanoes.  Political unrest continues as well.  Same as it ever was?  I also came across an article stating that many of the large television networks in the US have already spent much of their 2011 budgets for field reporting and live news coverage in the first calendar quarter of this year.  Do the events of 2011 warrant much thought about the Mayan Calendar?  

The only reason that I started reading about the Mayan Calendar was because it kept appearing in material that I was being guided to over time.  After an array of unexplainable cosmic / spiritual experiences (written about in earlier posts) that have increased over the last few years for me, I began to read more about it and ponder any potential significance in terms of my own experiences and the material to which I was being guided, all of which had to do with the expansion of consciousness and heart-based living.  Several years back in meditation I began to receive the singular (and somewhat cryptic at the time) message:  "Raise your vibration."  I have been "hooked" since then.  What keeps my interest is the sole fact that we could be living during an exceptionally rare time when great strides in the evolution of consciousness could be realized.  Just that hope alone, that potentiality, awakens something inside of me that desires to be aligned with the higher purpose of any type of event or process of that kind that could take place.  If one takes even a casual look at world affairs in terms of tension and instability in key places, along with the ongoing Fukushima disaster (which I believe is being downplayed severely by the media) and ongoing bizarre weather around the globe, it seems like we could be on a precipice of some kind... a time when the old thinking just doesn't work anymore and we have to evolve.  Then again, maybe that's just how things appear to be from time to time, generation to generation as socioeconomic and geological cycles complete their courses.

Spiritually (and otherwise), what continues to haunt me now is my lucidity experience that I had several months ago.  I've been unable to return to that state, not particularly the scene in which I found myself (that, as far as I know could have been inconsequential), but the induction trigger that causes the swirl in the center of closed eyelids and the subsequent "teleportation" to another reality, which, in my case, occurred through a painting.  I've set my intention, visualized heavily and attempted to recreate the "portal" but to no avail as yet.  I did it once in March of this year, and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life.  I know it's there now, that ability, that means of travel.  It means something.  I was wide awake in another reality with my full waking consciousness.  Why did I have that experience?  True, I had been experimenting for some months, somewhat driven you could say, to attempt to transit into a lucid state using a customized technique that I had been using to induce astral travel.  What was driving me, like my salvia divinorum experience late last year, was to be able to find answers in order to solve real-world problems from a dream state.

And yet the outcome was totally unexpected, and unlike any lucid dream I'd ever had.  Like my Cosmic Initiation in late '09 and the Dream Burst experience earlier this year, the lucidity adventure seemed rather random, despite my efforts.  I had been shown during the Initiation that travel through paintings was an inherent quality that all humans either possessed or could develop somehow with practice.  I wasn't sure.  So much information flooded through me during that time that it was hard to make sense of much of it, especially what was coming from the ether, which still gives me goosebumps when I think about that time.  Since then, arriving as echoes since early '10 via what I call "The Ripple," I've seen a portion of what was shared with me occur, not so much in terms of future events, but in terms of cosmic mechanics and vibration... how things work beyond physical sight, possibility.  The Ripple is a term I coined to describe a simple, subtle way in which the universe communicates with all of us, all of the time.  If you're thinking about a problem, for example, and over the next 24 hours you observe events in your life that appear to indicate a solution, for example.  In that case, typically three answers would come back in a short time, through other people much of the time, and very random.  It requires mindfulness, but it's always there and you need to look for it.  It's like a kitten at times and all I can say is you'll know when you're plugged into it.  It's a combination of bliss, a knowing and a playfulness that is sort of difficult to describe beyond those words, other than to say that there's a fearlessness that somehow emerges from being connected to this awareness, the root of which is love.

Whatever that information source is, Source, Higher Self, etc., during the Initiation it was like the volume had been turned way up, as it had been with my physical senses, and I could see how the universe was communicating with me subtly, all of the time.  Upon further reflection, I noticed that said ripples jibed nicely with the saying that all of the answers to our problems lie in front of us somehow, perhaps even in the subtlest forms.  This state of awareness in late '09 quickly became so overwhelmingly present at one point that I decided not to make any plans on any given day, and just to follow its guidance moment to moment.  At the time, I didn't want it to end and I actually thought that I had either broken through to a new permanent awareness of some kind or that the earth I found myself on had literally vibrated away from the earth I was born on.  When the component of projecting one's consciousness on to physical objects or quadrants within space-time was introduced to me by that same source as entirely possible, even ordinary outside of our current consensus reality, that amazed me.  When my lucidity experience in March of this year, fourteen months after the Initiation, actually delivered a somewhat involuntary result as it did (an alternate reality), not only could I see The Ripple here (these being long ripples) but it gave me a whole new perspective for the lucidity experience than I would not have had without the Initiation.  What did it mean, if anything?  Recently I began searching the web again for time travel through paintings (my first searches yielded minimal results) and came across an article about the early WingMakers' writings, in which I found this on the Bibliotecapleyades website:

"I began to hear them speaking to me.  It began as a word or two...  then a sentence...  maybe just once a day.  It didn't make much sense...  what I heard.  But then one day I was working on a chamber painting and I saw something move in the painting.  One of the symbols moved and it was absolutely not an illusion or trick of the light.  Then I realized that the WingMakers could interact with me, that they were time traveling to my time and that somehow their paintings were actually portals in which they moved through time...  When I finished with the access code and it worked, I knew then that I was indeed communicating with them."

Paintings as portals?  Of all places, too... WingMakers.  As I said, I was first introduced to paintings being somehow conducive of consciousness during my Cosmic Initiation.  Prior to the Initiation, I had casually caught myself at times between waking and sleep states, both going in and going out, somehow projecting my awareness to a wall, or particularly a painting, as if some dormant ability had been ever-so slightly awakened and I was awake enough to observe this with my mind in a rather effortless fashion as something that my mind was doing outside of my waking consciousness.  This, I knew, was aided by my experiences in virtual reality.  During the Initiation, it became clear to me that paintings were in fact a means of travel, however, one has to really appreciate the state of mind that came during those weeks of initiation in order to grasp how solid and yet outrageous that concept seemed to me at the time.  I knew the concept of teleportation well from my years working in virtual reality simulators.  In virtual reality, there are different means of teleportation, each with its own navigation method.  Like flying, those and other abilities awakened something inside me that clearly understood these abilities to be inherent.  Following the Initiation, it went a step further, and with the lucidity experience - bam - there it was.  Somehow, telepathy, teleportation and other abilities seem eerily familiar and natural in a way that's hard for me to describe.  From my earliest times in virtual worlds, there was a growing sense of, "Wait, I've been here before, in this peaceful, quiet alternate reality where I can shape thought into physical form."  And every time I go back into the virtual worlds, it's same thing.  It's as if somehow this life as we know it is only a portion of what it could be - or is supposed to be on some level.

Nearly a year after the Initiation, I was watching a video about the Philadelphia Experiment during what I've called "a guided information session" and I was introduced to James and WingMakers as a somewhat brief mention in the video.  I began to search about them online, eventually finding their websites.  The teaching materials of the WingMakers is what intrigued me from the start, among them principles of heart-based living.  The paintings and music were icing on a gorgeously delicious cake.  It was like reading the summation of a large body of work that I had been reading page by page for the past several years in terms of cosmic philosophy.  The writings about the Sovereign Integral and the heart really resonated with me.  They also dovetailed nicely into what I had been reading from Drunvalo Melchizedek and others.  Along with the resonance of the teachings came a stream of awareness that connected with my years of working in highly detailed virtual reality simulators - and the deep memories that those virtual experiences had awakened in me - a nebulous cosmic deja vu - as if all of this accumulated knowledge was somehow intricately connected and not just science fiction.  After finding the above excerpt from the early WingMakers writings, I went back to the WM website and started reading the Neruda interviews and some of the other material searching for the mention of time travel through art and learned about something that they called Tributary Zones.  I continue to wonder if I can develop the skill whereby paintings can serve as some kind of vortex through which I can transit different dimensions and realities.  I have persisted in attempting to trigger another ultra-lucid experience and will report here should one occur.

There are several items that I had scheduled to post since I lasted posted in early April.  Since my time online is now limited, I will attempt to post them in a series that will likely contain little to no commentary from me.  My hope is that anyone who reads this blog who is struggling during these times finds some solace in the words written and links provided so as to enhance their own journey.  Seek.  Spend time and be still.  There is exponentially much more out there than meets the physical eye.  This blog started out as a chronology of my virtual reality experiences, but was slowly pulled in another direction where it has become an outlet for me to share my own spiritual journey and experiences, which have intensified since I began writing several years ago.  Although I'm in a rather tough spot in life at the moment, I know of many others around the globe who are facing similar situations.  If that applies to you, stay strong.  More posts, mostly videos that I've recently come across, should follow in the coming days.

New Drunvalo Melchizedek Interview: Audri Scott Williams

Audri Scott Williams from 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace interviewed Drunvalo Melchizedek in Sedona, Arizona on February 11th as part of her radio show, Peace Talks for Life Conversations Radio.  Peace Talks is transmitted every Friday from 12p - 1pm Eastern Time in the US.  Posted to YouTube on March 18th, the three part interview is embedded below.  Audri covers a lot of ground with Drunvalo, including a discussion of plasma beings - other-dimensional ascended light beings - who are here to assist us with our evolution and ascension into the higher realms.  The plasma beings, as I understand it, are the ones that travel through the dimensions of the universe in merkabas (light vehicles).  The merkaba is also our light vehicle as humans, also known as the rainbow body or light body, the vehicle of the soul.

It appears that these types of light vehicles are being seen around the world more often than ever.  I have viewed several videos over the past few months from various parts of the globe and where people seem to have captured these vehicles with cameras.  Some links are provided further down in this post.  These light or plasma vehicles also bear a direct resemblance to the types of light vehicles that have been recorded by James Gilliland and others at the Eceti Ranch in Washington state for some time now.  The light vehicles are unlike vehicles used by the Greys or Reptilians, which often appear to resemble human science fiction or futuristic military aircraft.  The vehicles of the plasma beings appear to be composed of pure light, as opposed to solid mass.  Drunvalo's discusses some of his history with the plasma beings, including an invitation to see them up close from Carlos Diaz and the Vatican's subsequent efforts to silence Diaz is a story of intrigue in itself.

Also discussed are the Mayan time cycles, the Hopi Blue Star Prophecy and the observation that many of the time cycles of ancient indigenous peoples are coming to an end within the next couple of years.  Drunvalo also provides some interesting insights on the human heart and the importance of the part it plays in our development, from the beginnings of physical human life to the role it plays in our evolution and ascension into higher realms.  If you are a fan of Drunvalo and you haven't read his book, Living In The Heart, I highly recommend it.  There are some wonderful explorations of the power of the human heart contained within the book, including the ability to change and expand consciousness through simple heart-based meditations that can affect one's physical world.  That book highly affected my personal journey.  Audri and Drunvalo also reference Credo Mutwa and his work.  For those interested in ancient and hidden history regarding the evolution of human DNA and manipulation from the perspective of a Zulu shaman, there's a fascinating in-depth 3.5-hour interview that Credo did with David Icke recently that can be found here.

Despite a slow start due to technical issues, Audri does an excellent job with this interview, and Drunvalo, as always, offers an enlightened view of the grand play that is taking place currently with the human race, planet earth and the universe at large.  Audri's YouTube channel is located here.  Drunvalo's primary website is located here, and an older site featuring a lot of Drunvalo's work is called Spirit of Ma'at.  Thanks to Audri Scott Williams, Peace Talks and Drunvalo for making this video and its message available widely on the web.

For more information on Carlos Diaz, I have embedded an older documentary below called "Ships of Light," or at least parts therefrom, that explores and analyzes Carlos' earlier sightings of plasma vehicles in the 1990s.  There is some compelling information presented in the videos, and I find that the resemblance to the light vehicles that have been photographed and recorded around the world recently is something to consider.  I've never been one to follow UFO sightings, but in the various pictures and videos that have surfaced recently on the web, I do find the similarity to the objects allegedly observed by Carlos Diaz to be intriguing.  Here is a link to the website of a cultural anthropologist, Michael Hesseman, who investigated Carlos' claims.  Hesseman's conclusions, as well as those from another group of researchers was that Carlos' photos, etc. were not hoaxed.  

Of course, the skeptical side of me wonders why no video has yet surfaced where these light vehicles are directly over the head of anyone who happens to be recording them.  Perhaps, as would be expected, such light beings from another dimension are acutely aware of surrounding beings on the planet's surface prior to approaching earth and are awaiting the proper time of their revealing, keeping in accordance with what many have said is a universal law of non-interference in the affairs of the living beings on any planet, unless other universal laws are broken beforehand.  Said breaking of universal laws in the past, according to some, has led to the ongoing interference from the Greys and Reptilians that we have been experiencing for thousands of years, which Drunvalo references briefly in the above video and has spoken of in the past during previous interviews.  

My hope is that Drunvalo and others are correct insofar as these visitations are increasing and more bold video evidence will surface in the days and months to come.  As I've stated previously, if such mass disclosure does occur, expect the powers that be to use hysteria to scare people, either with earthly-designed military aircraft not yet viewed by the general public or through an alliance with negative other-dimensional beings in an effort to maintain the status quo by stating that all beings alien to earth are "evil doers."  The late German - American scientist and father of rocket science Whernher Von Braun warned prior to his death that such a day would come.

Below are some links to various videos of what look to be possibly light vehicles of plasma beings, similar to those captured by Carlos Diaz.  Unfortunately, many are shot from a distance.  Most notable are the now-famous sightings over the Dome of the Rock at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which was observed at 1am local time on January 28th, 2011 from various points, including some American tourists who appeared to capture the closest view of the object.  Could the object be an activated merkaba?  Here is another video of the same object captured from further away.  The reaction of all observers of the Dome sighting appears to be quite similar, especially when the object quickly departs into the heavens.  

Here is a link to a video taken in Spain on January 16th, one from the UK recorded this past New Year's Eve; one spotted in Germany on January 16th; a long distance shot taken in Hunter Valley, Australia in January and another in Amsterdam in September of last year and Glastonbury, UK late last year.  There are many more that have popped up on the web from other countries over the last several months, including the US.  And those sightings appear to be similar to those observed at the Eceti Ranch as well.  Do any of those videos, or others, prove anything?  Certainly not, but I can't recall ever seeing so many photos or videos of these potential plasma-being light vehicles in the past.  There have been other recent sightings of craft that look to be physical, 3D vehicles, including one popular sighting recently in Brazil, but I didn't include that link here.  It's something that I continue to watch, with the hope that we'll see more information emerging on the subject soon.

Major Breakthrough: A New Type Of Lucidity - Wow!

If you've been following my posts over the last several months, you'll know that I have been searching for context and meaning amidst what appears to be the complete demolition of my life and my ego that I have been accustomed to for so long.  Everything has appeared to be dissolving around me, and witnessing this cascade of my familiar life elements as they continue to tumble and turn to dust, I have actively been seeking answers and direction.  It all started with the Dark Night of the Soul, within which was contained a period that I came to call a Cosmic Initiation (all previously covered in this venue, at least partially).  The initiation gave me a completely new perspective on reality, one that I had never known before, and it didn't come about through journey work of any kind, rather, it happened randomly.  I was introduced to a way of being that consisted of the inability to plan anything, and lived completely in the moment for several weeks, during which time I had a treasure trove of insight and experience bestowed upon me that has permanently changed the way in which I view the world and the human condition. 

Since that time, I have continued to seek out answers and plot some kind of new life direction that entails truly living at my highest potential, not by worldly means or status, but by being led completely by Source energy and my higher self, wherever such a journey may take me.  I have been trying to, as I call it, "break the fourth wall" during normal states of consciousness through meditation and lucid dreaming for about the past six months.  Often times this quest has led me to feelings of frustration, that somehow I'm not doing things correctly.  I know they're there - multiple states of expanded consciousness, and I have tried to remain as focused and determined as I can be to achieve such states without the aid of journey tools.  Back in February, a friend told me about a technique from Malcolm Godwin's book, "The Lucid Dreamer," through which one can learn to trigger lucidity within the dreamworld.  I have experimented with various methods since around 1995, most notably with the Nova Dreamer, which at that time cost me $300 and after years of use I could never achieve the same results that would occasionally occur within random lucid dreams.  I haven't been able to afford Godwin's book, so I took the simple technique that my friend shared with me and customized it to include my own personal flavor, which included a recipe for maximum empowerment within the dream world (written about here and here in previous posts).

I had been using the lucid dreaming trigger technique for almost a month.  On the second day, I had an excellent lucid flying dream, but after that, nothing.  Saturday evening I had viewed Rick Strassman's documentary (embedded in the previous post) and was pursuing an event string or as I have come to call them, a guided information sourcing session, the thread line of which had to do with breaking through the worst kind potentially overwhelming life obstacles that one can expect to face (homelessness, bankruptcy, et al).  I had been thinking about the singular egoic mind construct that defines our everyday world and how I have continued to feel frustrated in terms of watching my old life wash away in the absence of any kind of new direction emerging.  It was during this reading that I came across an article from Sonia Barrett entitled, "When Nothing Seems To Be Working." 

I had not known about Sonia before that introduction, and spent some time afterward on her websites Spirit In Form and Sovereign Mind Radio.  The "When Nothing..." article appeared to be apropos for what I have been feeling, and my left-brain egoic mind kept stating, "Yeah, but you don't know how bad my life is right now."  I have been so blessed in my life and have lived in abundance until these past couple of years.  I've always been able to create and share art, and join in the celebration of the creations of others, and for the life of me, I don't know how things changed, or why.  Sonia seemed to speak from direct experience, addressing even that type of egoic questioning in the article.  I later found some bio information on an Information Machine blog post that links to a recent interview that she did with Vertias Radio, outlining part of her struggle and quest to break through the matrix.  I listened to that interview along with another recent one that she did on her own website and found her energy and insights to be uplifting.  I consider discovering Sonia a good find and plan to explore more of her work as time goes on.

On Saturday night / early Sunday morning, I went to bed and fell asleep around 2:45am local time, only to be awoken an hour later by annoying, vibrating and buzzing sounds.  It was so disorienting that I first thought that I was having an involuntary OBE or astral travel experience.  As I stirred from sleep, my second thought was that a motion picture film crew had begun shooting a film across the street.  Usually we receive filming notices in advance if this is to happen.  I stumbled out of bed and then thought that something was happening to my computers, as I began to notice a melody above the cacophony of vibrating noise.  Then I saw that it was someone parked out in front of my building, who had apparently dropped somebody off after an evening of partying.  I was incredibly annoyed, as were many people in my building - it was that loud - shaking everything.  I have a large sound system in my car, but I have rarely heard something that loud outside of seeing a piece from a custom auto show on cable television.  He must have had at least four 16-inch JBL's pounding out sub-bass in that car.  Plus, as I looked out the window, I noticed that he had his back hatch opened as he fiddled with some items in the car, which only made the sound worse.  I finally laid back down in bed after he drove away and wondered if I could get back to sleep.

Since last September when I began to attempt to "break the fourth wall" and enter into either a lucid or some other kind of inner-exploratory state just prior to entering sleep mode, I have been sleeping with a circular band over my eyes to maximize blackness and cut down on any types of distraction.  When I first started doing this, it was during the daytime.  I noticed that usually within twenty minutes or so, sometimes less, I would begin to see nebulous purple-blue globs move around on the inside of my eyelids.  Occasionally, if I was very tired or had a lot of activity prior to attempting sleep, these globs would be punctuated by random flickers that didn't seem to be connected to the purplish globs.  I eventually read online that the body is discharging energy through the nervous system, which results in the flickers.  The globs interested me, so I spent many days in pre-sleep mode casually observing them.  This takes patience and a release of expectation, and for me it took several months of careful observation that eventually led to further definition and exploration of this state and what it can potentially lead to.

When I was relaxed, focusing on my breath and casually observing the purplish globs, I began to notice that they would become punctuated in intensity at various points.  I also noticed that the longer I remained in that state, the intense areas (light purple, almost magenta in color) would become outlined in a light greenish-yellow along the edges as they moved around and morphed in shape.  I could easily follow the brighter parts with my eyes and have done so since last September on most nights as I fall asleep.  Over the course of these past few months, I have remembered previous states of mediation whereby upon reaching a very deep state, on occasion I would notice an area of morphing images that would appear within my field of vision, eyes closed, where images morphed eventually into full color pictures.

I knew that same place, projected on to my closed eyelids, to be the inner world of other dimensions that I had experienced as reality in many prior journey work excursions, assisted by sacred herbs, etc.  From those experiences, I learned not to judge what I saw, only to observe.  Early on in years past when accessing that point I would become afraid of some of what I was seeing, but eventually learned that it's harmless, and if I kept fear out of the equation, it just became something interesting to watch.  I always wondered what the source of it was... another reality?  Inner reality?  Ultimate reality?  Previous journey work using "tools" seemed to indicate that what I saw during these recent pre-sleep states was indeed a faint representation of the larger, full-blown other-dimensional visual experience that one can have when assisted by sacred tools or herbs, etc.  I have remained intrigued ever since, determined to see if there is indeed a connection between the two, or they are one in the same.

Over the course of the last several months, doing this observation virtually every time I tried to fall asleep, I became aware that the morphing globs would sometimes form what looked like still photographs - flashes of distinct imagery that were definable, though not familiar to me in terms of daily references of people, places or things.  "Whoah!" would usually be my brain's reaction, and as I had such a realization, the picture would gently fade back into the morphing purples.  I kept trying to train my brain not to be fascinated by what I saw, just to let it be and observe.  In recent weeks, this process has become more easy for me to develop but I am by no means a master of it as yet.  I have found that if I remain still, I will be able to see beautiful vast expanses of nature... skies, flowers, mountains, water, birds, etc.  Most of the time they remained fleeting.  Occasionally I would see what looked to be much like the virtual worlds I spent so much time in from 2006 - 2010.  About a week ago during one such experience, I noticed that I was looking at what appeared to be a computer screen of some kind, with alphabetical letters (language) and photos of people, none of whom I knew.  It seemed to be scrolling slowly, but constantly.  "This is new," I thought at the time.

Each time I would try and bring the picture of the "screen" further into view in order to read the writing, I would loose grasp of the letters.  Every time I saw the screen, the letters looked to be something easily readable in English, yet with each attempt to focus, they would disintegrate into gibberish and I would get mildly frustrated.  The pictures of people intrigued me as well, and I would struggle for context, as if searching my memory in order to find a match somewhere with someone I had known in the past.  It appeared that by this time I was getting better at this method, whatever it is, of opening a part of my perception while in a normal, pre-sleep state of mind.  During that time I had a new experience, which I wrote about in a previous post where I called it a Dream Burst.  The Dream Burst was distinctly different than this, and did not occur in the same way as these images were appearing.  The burst was a lucid dream-meets-astral travel experience, something completely new to me despite similar experiences in the past.  It was initiated by something, perhaps an entity, speaking to me within my dream mind which ignited an astral experience within the dream; pure bliss, and very different than this activity I had been engaging in since last autumn in terms of training myself from outside the dream state.  In hindsight, perhaps the Dream Burst was a necessary precursor to what I would come to experience, which is the subject of this post. 

As I laid there on my bed on Saturday night, after the booming sound system had left my block, I wondered if I should continue to try falling asleep or get up, make some tea and go back to the computer.  I decided that sleep would be best, or at least the attempt to do so.  I had the band around my eyes and felt a bit rattled, and tried to calm myself by shaking my foot, which sometimes helps me to calm down quickly and fall asleep.  I began watching the purplish globs, which once again started to morph into brighter globs with their signature greenish-yellow outlines.  A few still photos captured for brief seconds within my field of view, as often happens.  I remained the observer.  Then, it appeared very quickly within the center of my view that there was some kind of vortex there, a quick swirl of all the globs that lasted for about a second or two.  The next thing I noticed was that my awareness was pulled into this "vortex," for lack of a better word.  This was not like an OBE vortex, which can occasionally feel like a vacuum cleaner and make one feel like they're being literally sucked off of the bed.  This was different, no body-pull sensation, just awareness, as if I had been staring at a whirlpool that I somehow poured my consciousness into.  No physical pull.

I came out of the other side about six feet above the ground in the dream state, within a flat or apartment of some kind.  My essence poured out of a an old painting that was on one of the walls.  It had a conclave type of frame that curved out from the painting itself about two inches.  I stood on the floor.  There I was, wide awake, with my full conscious awareness that I carry in the everyday 3D physical world.  Bam - just like that.  I knew I was "dreaming" but I wasn't exactly sure where or how.  Had I traveled in time?  Another dimension?  A past existence?  Was this what is known as Quantum Jumping?  I was completely astounded, so much so that I quickly tried to calm my emotions so that I wouldn't knock myself out of that state.  I was elated.  Fascinated. Stunned. Excited beyond belief.  "This is a major breakthrough!"  I thought as I began to explore my surroundings.

I had experienced many lucid dreaming experiences in the past, but none where I carried with me the totality of my waking awareness that I have every day.  In past experiences, only part of "me" was present, enough to know who I was and that I was awake in the dream, but not my "waking all."  Wow.  This place in which I found myself appeared to be 3D, just like my waking physical world.  The building that I was in seemed very similar to my present residence, yet it was completely different.  Instead of white walls, the walls of the interior were a deep olive green color.  Old paintings adorned the wall that I had passed through at a rather odd height.  "That's strange," I thought, as I looked at the wall.  They were closer to the ceiling than the middle of the wall, typically hung higher than one would hang them here, today, in this world.

There was antique furniture everywhere, quite a change from my post-modern furniture from this present life.  And strewn about this rather messy place were items that I knew to be mine, with some even baring a resemblance to things in my physical world, yet they were all different.  The flat contained a dining room, which I currently don't have, consisting of a dark wooden dining table and tall chairs, along with a hutch and a small desk or dresser of some kind.  I stepped carefully around the living room, dining room and an adjacent smaller room with low chairs and a coffee table, which looked to be a center of activity with many items on the coffee table.  I passed through the smaller room and opened a door that led to the hallway.  "This isn't my building," I said, "Yet it is, or at least it's familiar to my building and I do live here."  I walked to the end of the hallway and looked out the window.  There were other buildings across the street, some with faint lights coming from rooms.  "Wow, this is incredible... absolutely incredible."

I walked back into the flat again, through the small room and into the living room, where I made my way to another window, which also faced the street.  There were no cars, no horses, no vehicles of any kind, yet I noticed a few people walking on the street below, including a couple that appeared to be walking a dog.  I focused on the street for a few moments and realized that I could project the visual input area of my consciousness out in front of the building, and I briefly floated it down the street as I observed the buildings and windows across the way.  I saw people in some of the windows.  One couple was sitting in bed.  I didn't see any street lights and couldn't determine if the architecture of the buildings was from any particular time period.  Most of the buildings appeared to be made of brick but they weren't brownstones.  I returned my awareness to the living room of the flat and immediately thought of my friend in this physical world who had shared the Malcolm Godwin technique with me several weeks ago.  He said that initially the intensity of what he experienced was so great that it scared him and he had to stop.  "What I really want to do," he said the night that he shared the technique, "Is to try and fall asleep from that lucid zone and see where I wake up."  I thought that's what I should set out to do straight away, but then I stopped myself.  I couldn't do it just yet, there was too much to see and explore first.

"Oh wow - a mirror - I've gotta find a mirror!"  I turned from the window and scoped out the living room in greater detail, and noticed that there was a large full-length mirror on the wall to the left of the painting that I seemed to have come out of upon my arrival.  I gazed over at the mirror.  I was somewhat stunned that I could see myself, as I didn't remember that from any previous dream experiences, or having the presence of mind to even seek to find a mirror in a dream for that matter, yet I had the same conscious awareness with which I exist in the physical world, from which I am currently writing this post.  I then walked up to the mirror.  Wow.  I looked different than I do in this reality, as if I was a completely different person.  I was smaller in stature, and noticeably lighter, not that I am large or overweight in this world.  I moved my legs and arms around.  It was captivating.  Slowly I got very close to the mirror and began to examine my face, nearly pressing my head on the glass.  Somehow, despite looking completely different, I knew it was what I call "me" in the physical world.  I was very familiar with this persona, and its body.  I was blown away.  "I've gotta find a pen - something to write with - paper - I've got to put this stuff down in writing!"  I went into the dining area and found a writing instrument and a piece of paper.  Just then a knock came at the door, a door on the other side of the flat from the one I used earlier to walk into the hallway.

Between the excitement I was experiencing and a millisecond of dread upon hearing the knock, I took a moment to regain my composure and center myself.  I did not want this to end.  It was too valuable an experience and I didn't know how delicate a state it was.  After years of trying to find an experience like this, carrying my waking awareness, I didn't know if I'd ever get back to such a place, so I calmed myself and decided I had to answer the door.  Thankfully, fear was not a factor.  Rather, it was a slight cautionary impulse, like a spark, and not something that I became fixated upon.  I felt safe.  I felt just like I do most often in the physical world.  The knocking continued, quick, repetitive bursts of insistent, short knocks.  I approached the wooden door and noticed that it had a sideways-sliding opening at eye level that I could push to one side and see who was at the door.  I opened it.  On the other side of the door stood a man that I knew was familiar to me.  "Rosancrantz," I thought.  He spoke with a thick Eastern European accent.  "Let me in."  I opened the door.  It became evident to me upon opening the door that I shared the flat with someone, although I couldn't get a read (or "ident" as Robert Monroe would say) as to who this person was.

I recognized Rosancrantz as someone I knew who was an old friend of my roommate and understood that they both had gone to university together.  At the same time, I also realized that I knew him to be somewhat of a pest from time to time, neurotic and needy.  "Where is he?  I need to speak with him," he said.  I told him that I didn't really know but that he could stay as long as he liked.  He came in, went straight to the dining room and began pensively pacing around the table.  "It's important.  I need something.  When will he be back?"  Again, I said I didn't know.  My thoughts then turned to the paper and writing instrument, followed by:  "I've got to ask him some questions about where we are and what year this is."  I began to quiz him as he paced around.  "What day is this?"  I asked.  He looked at me with a jolting grimace, as if to say, "How ridiculous?" But I persisted.  "Seriously, I need to know what day this is."  "Oh," he said, "That's right.  You've been seeing that medium," which I realized was considered some form of a psychiatrist.  "It's 3rd October," he said.  "Year, what year is this?"  I quickly blurted out; my hands holding the paper and "pen" on the dining room table, ready to write as I stared at him, anxiously awaiting a response.

He looked at me briefly again like I was mad, finally cocking his head back in a seemingly arrogant, scholarly sense, only to break the pose for a moment due to what appeared to be a feeling of pity for me that had come over him, and he slowly said, "Oh -3 ('03)."  I focused intently on writing it down, 10/3/03, watching as I put the date to paper.  "Wait," I thought, "2003?  1903?  1803?  Some other century?"  I no sooner had those thoughts when I noticed he had started for the door.  "I have to be going.  If you see him, tell him I must speak with him at once."  I went over to the door, opened it for him and he left.  While the door was still open, I noticed several people in the hall to the left who were talking.  I had a moment of curiousity about talking with them, but decided to just close the door and be alone in the flat once again.  "Rosancrantz - now how exactly do I know him?"  I wondered for a few seconds, but my thoughts quickly turned back to the fascination and overwhelming joy that I was wide awake with my normal earthly consciousness.  I wanted to first continue exploring the flat, because it was so familiar to me.  I looked around the living room for a few more moments, eventually becoming intrigued with the mirror again.  I walked up to it, once again marveling that I had a different physical appearance but the same exact awareness from my physical world.  Just then, everything dissolved into a swirl and I woke up on my bed.

I couldn't believe what had happened.  Just as intense and wild as the dream burst, yet completely different.  I got out of bed and began to search the web for "soul travel through paintings" and various other word strings that might yield some kind of similar results, i.e., "time travel through paintings," "soul essence through paintings," etc.  I came across one book in which author Mike Wilks appears to have described such a phenomenon in a work of fiction called "Mirrorscape."  I had never read or heard of the book before but it's been added to my wish list for sometime in the future.  This dream, other-dimensional, time travel, quantum jumping experience will be with me for the rest of my life, another dangled carrot after which to chase, in the hope that I might be able to discover more about my true nature and that of the universe / multiverse.  I have been there now, wide awake in dreamland, and I will never forget what it was like.  I then wrote my friend an email who had shared the Godwin lucid dreaming technique with me, describing what had happened.  Was this what he was talking about, was this type of full-waking lucidity really what lucid dreaming was all about?  If so, I had only partially experienced it in the past.  Though lucid in the past, never was I ever "all there" like this.  When I woke up, I noticed that I had only been asleep for about 90 minutes, so this wasn't something from late sleep-stage REM, during which our deepest dreams typically occur.

Even though I was there for some time, the experience ended too soon, and the next time I find myself in such a place, my sole intent is to try and solve problems within the physical world through thought and analysis from that other-worldly dimensional space.  If I could somehow send energy from that place into the physical world, that would be something.  Perhaps even send triggers into my waking world from the lucid dream state.  Wow.  My mind was buzzing with possibilities.  I wish I had the time to do that before it had all dissolved.  I feel like there is so much to learn.  For now, all I can do is to repeat the Godwin technique and focus on what appears to be a portal that can be opened through those purplish globs on the inside of my eyelids with much patience and determination.  If I could master such things, the physical life and its challenges would become dwarfed within the greater context of exploration.  Many of the great teachers, yogis, etc. say that we each have the universe within ourselves, and that through the doors of the heart lie the gateways to other worlds.  I hope that this was a taste of just that kind of experience.  I'm happy that I was able to enter such a space without the aid of any tools.  The possibilities are indeed endless.  Malcolm Godwin, thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights.  Parts of me, long-dormant, have awakened because of your work and I am forever grateful.  The same gratitude goes out to all of those whose work I have referenced here in this venue; thank you.

On that note, I'll leave you with a few things that I came across earlier on Saturday night, prior to my watching the Richard Strassman documentary and reading about Sonia Barrett, one of which is an interview of scholar and lecturer Graham Hancock, author of "Fingerprints of the Gods," among other books.  In this interview below, entitled "Setting History Free," author and lecturer David Wilcock examines some of Hancock's work and his theories about the nature of our existence, the lost or hidden history of humanity and what may lie ahead for us as we move through linear time in an effort to evolve human consciousness.  This is another fascinating video that virtually any seeker should find interesting.  It puts current world events into a larger perspective and spans a course of time much larger than any of our individual lifetimes.  I can't state it enough now, due to the myriad of experiences I have had over the years, most recently the Cosmic Initiation, Dream Burst and the aforementioned lucid dreaming adventure, that there is much, much more to reality than what we can perceive with our physical eyes; that much I do know.  I don't claim to have any answers.  I remain skeptical and just like anyone else, I only have my experiences, some of which I have attempted to share in this forum.  I only wish to remember what is my birthright, my greater truth, and in doing so realize my greatest potential, becoming forever free to create and explore the universe / multiverse.

::: Setting History Free :::

And finally, the last piece of this long post is a link to the final chapter from a book by scholar and author Michael Tsarion, entitled "Aliens, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation."  I first became aware of Michael's work in 2005, and have watched several of his rather lengthy videos, many of which are available on YouTube.  Michael goes down the rabbit hole in such detail that he is virtually unmatched as a master dot connector of hidden pieces of history, manipulation and exploitation of the human race.  In this, the final chapter of the aforementioned book, which I found on Scribd (no idea how it got there or why, as its only the last chapter of a book), he sums up the human condition in much the same way that Hancock and Wilcock talk about in the interview above, even going so far as to touch on the fact that the creation of art can be and often is the universe itself speaking to us, trying to gently get us to remember our history and divine rights as sovereign individuals, if we would only take the time to stop, focus, observe and listen.

By the time the chapter got to the famous lines from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," (below) I was taken aback.  As a former music industry executive and deejay, I have listened to thousands of albums and tens of thousands of songs from all over the world.  As you can imagine, the classics like Zeppelin I have heard over and over.  In terms of how these lyrics are presented within that chapter of Tsarion's book, he says, "Artists and minstrels of more recent times also have the same macro-theme [referring to cosmic inspiration] in their creations, though few are aware of it… consider the final lines of the song "Stairway To Heaven," by Led Zeppelin, and then why millions resonate with this and other masterpieces without knowing consciously why."  This blew me away.  Validation.  In previous posts regarding my Cosmic Initiation, I state in detail how the universe, or Source energy, showed me the EXACT same thing, although through other songs and works of art.

It is indeed a grand, infinite space in which we find our conscious awareness abiding at present, and we're only able to currently view a minuscule portion of its majesty.  It's my belief that if you take the time to be still and open yourself up, perhaps with perseverance and due diligence, the universe will reveal itself to you in all its glory.  After all, on every level, it is the very fabric in which we exist and it comprises everything... in the Hermetic sense, "All That Is," or the mind of god.  I see the message in this song so clearly now.  The lyrics below will never have the same meaning for me going forward, featured in Chapter 22 -  Epilogue:  There's Still Time To Change The Road You're On, from Michael Tsarion's "Aliens, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation":

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a Lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

 
(From Stairway To Heaven – Jimmy Page and Robert Plant)
