Everything is Possibility!

Everything is possibility! Whether we dilute this to meaninglessness or amp it up to highest meaning is up to us. Everything is possibility!

our destiny is here

A prophet from yesteryear spoke it clearly: The medium is the message. The medium IS the message. And what is the medium, as we approach and are in the flashpoint of civilization, but direct access of all to all, of instant communication of every human on Earth who can gain access to one of the various forms of computer, whether in private possession or at local libraries. The medium, instant communication of all with all, is the message, the message to all humankind. We are in increasingly strong connection. Whether we use this connection to post photos of cats, salve our ego selves, delight in each other's accomplishments and very existence, spear perceived ignorance, post apocalyptic doom, or create a shared vision of possibility is up to us. The point is: the medium, this medium of instant shared communication IS the message. We are in communication. And at one of the most exciting and fearful and awe-full times on Earth. Our destiny is here, not even waiting to knock on the door or ring the doorbell, but is here, in this room, with us now.

Dear People of the Earth

Dear People of the Earth,

We have tried the world view where everything is seen as a product to be bought and sold. Everything. In this world view we chomp up the Earth and turn it into money. The trouble with money is that it is either almost indiscernible electronic blips or a form of paper that cannot be eaten and is even totally useless for wiping one's ass.

It is time we open to a different world view. One in which we see that we proud humans are not isolated protoplasmic blobs (IPBs) but are interwoven in the fabric and the destiny of all that exists. All. From the subatomic to the metagalactic.

Sincerely,
Your Pal
George

Two Consciousness States

Two consciousness states: Formational and Transformational. Formational consciousness is the continuous forming of self and world through self-talk (thoughts). Transformational consciousness is opening to the vastness, mystery, and ongoing Dance of That-Which-Breathes-Us. The first is for doing busy-ness as an isolated protoplasmic blob (IPB) with other IPBs. The second is becoming and being the Dance Itself.

consciousness transformation

The only way out of our predicament is through spiritual development or, in terms more palatable to some, consciousness transformation. First, you have to acknowledge, claim, own who you are. No hiding. Ruthless acceptance. Bare ass naked awareness. Notice your thoughts. As long as you keep thinking the same old thoughts, you will be the same old you. (Hence the old Zen saying I made up: How many times must you jump on a pogo stick?) Notice what your hands are doing during the day. As long as your hands keep doing the same old things, you will be the same old you. Notice your breath, your breathing in, the pause, the breathing out, the pause, the breathing in. Breathe out to the far horizon. Breathe in to your core infinity. As long as your breath goes unnoticed, you will be the same old you. Notice your attitude toward others, toward the day, toward life, toward this moment. As long as your attitude is negative, you will stay negative. As long as your attitude stays the same, you will stay the same. Notice the tightness of your jaws. Open and close and open your jaws. Make ludicrous expressions with all the muscles of your face. As long as your jaws stay tight and your facial expression rigid, you will be the same old you. Notice where you put your attention. Whatever you attend to, you become. If you keep attending to the same old things, you will be the same old you. There! If you want consciousness transformation, that should be plenty enough to start. 

Embodying

Run it up the chakra ladder: Hara - Heart - Head - Beyond. Then run it back down into your embodying. Be the whole ladder and move through the day.

Split Land and the Seamless Whole

The rules that apply in Split Land, the land of duality, of me versus you, of us versus them, and so on, do not apply in the Seamless Whole, the realm of the nondual, of the nonduel. But the principles of the Seamless Whole do apply in Split Land. Split Land is a subset of the Seamless Whole. Our physical bodies are residents of Split Land. Look at your opposing sides, your two hands clapping, your jaws aflapping. The Seamless Whole births Split Land. Split Land, no matter how much it stands on its hind legs and howls, is the lesser domain.
