One Yet Different

      Uncountable opinions, unlimited diverse beliefs, desires for a single world reality: These things are observable and more prevalent in this age of info. Can, or will we learn a path to success? Let's define that simply as: a) Not destroying the planet; and b) Living in a peaceful world, where evolution goes forward, and the needs of the people are met. The answer is tied to the collective optimism and positivity. What we do know is that the bits and pieces of history that form our common beliefs are changing, with technology and consciousness leading the way.
       It is all One. You've probably heard that before, and yet, most of us have little idea what it means. Another one of the many dualities in life? How is it true, with the violence and struggles that seem so prevalent. Nations, religions, races, ethnicities, etc. appear to be escalating their conflicts. Where is it going, and what is our role within it? (Spoiler alert - one or neither of these questions will be answered in this post).
        Like the title of Gandhi's autobiography, this world is an experiment with truth. And lies - and apparently, whatever the hell else people and entities want to do. This is the "freewill" we possess, and it will be our downfall - or lead us to salvation. It is the way it is - collective desire. Our choices have allowed the diverse and specialized experiences we have all had. Over lifetimes (one chance to learn all that must be known - or remembered - is not logical) we climb and fall, learn and yearn, propelled by desire. Generally, the human consciousness moves slowly. In an almost endless creation, a good practice may be to remember that there is always more  to the situation; you will only know so much. Like points on an infinite line in geometry, we know and experience only a small part.  This allows the varied individual experiences that were desired or attracted. So, it is probable that: there are many entities throughout the universes, there is more than one life, and we don't know where we came from, or where we may go after this life.
         With all these very different conceptions of life, how is it all One. Is it - or Isn't it? The evidence can be seen by feeling and observation. When we see someone who is happy or in pain, we feel the emotion, more or less. We empathize through our connection. We feel for each other, one of the greatest human qualities. Never before, in recent history, have we had the opportunity to communicate with someone on the other side of the world, or even know about people's different ways of existence. Before now, people have grown like small ecosystems in varied places. Until ships, radio and tv, humans had no awareness of a total planet. Now, almost like a mystic, we can know of events around the globe within minutes. These days, the news media provides information on an overwhelming scale. That it is mostly misfortune reported can be linked to a negative mass consciousness. Habituated to struggle and trials of life, most expect more of the same. There have always been world events (earthquakes, conflicts, tsunamis), but one would not hear about all of them in one half hour. So, people have become aware that it is one planet - and that, usually, something bad happens regularly. We need to put it in perspective, if we choose to follow world events. Though not as popular, there is good news available (This just in - Monk experiences nirvana). Many feel compelled to be positive and share it in this tumultuous time. Changing expectations of outcomes is one of our greatest tools. Cultivating positive thought habits improve both the life and planet.
         Yes, ultimately, all is One, yet also apparently different. We don't really know how it works, though it can be felt. The reality of it will be known by those who experience it. If it is real, when and where is irrelevant. The choices will be made. Your personal one is all you have. The results will be determined by those decisions and levels of consciousness. For those who are working and hoping for a new world - you are making that world. If the 100th monkey theory works, we may see that manifest. This is a most important part of oneness - helping each other. We all came here individually, and will leave the same way ( unless there is a supernatural event ). With records  kept, students are transferred to an appropriate school, and continue to move toward graduation, or wherever their freewill desires take them...

Lotus Magic

Hard to believe and exciting: Last week, in the inner circle of the pond - only mud. This week - Three lotus flowers blooming. An excellent reminder to maintain positive expectations, and to delight in the dance of nature...

Just being you - now

          We tend to romanticize great cultures of the past. Why not take the best- and leave the rest. We tend to invest in that which brings comfort. The children are told what to believe and who they are, and this training often makes them forget who they really are. Servants of kings were often buried with them. Heavenly reward or worst retirement plan ever? When we identify ourselves as anything related to this temporary self: ethnicity, family, religion, or nationality, we carry the added conflicts and burdens that go with them. There may be benefits, but they are also based in brief illusions. Ultimately, we are responsible only for our own actions. Groups and families are part of the earthly enjoyments, so it's up to us when we make our choices. Physical life is always flawed, but is given to us to create. Only by releasing the age old conflicts embedded in our subconscious, can we deal honestly with today. Unlimited love And acceptance is the wise path...

Beyond Ethanol: Drop-In Biofuels Squeeze Gasoline From Plants - Also, there are more sustainable things that are high energy containing plants, like switchgrass and hemp. Oil companies, with their huge capital reserves need to focus on these. Tar sands are 15 -20% dirtier than regular oil production.

Another Pond - Crustacean Nation

The other day, on my walk; stopped at a out of the way pond with a little waterfall, which was flowing pretty strong, with yellow, chamomile looking buds floating in the fairly deep and big, little pond. It seemed they also gave off a subtle sweet scent of lightness. ( unlike the yellow ginger in my room which helps me to remember the heaven it can be). As i was looking to see how clean it would be to jump in, i saw a couple tiny minnows, and a little algae, And - a so far unidentified creature! -- Still a mystery, the black stick - like crustacean with one long, and i mean really long, (with an elbow) small rounded claw. He shot off as i approached, but returned as i sat by the peaceful water. Few know of this place, a hidden forest sanctuary, and i appreciated the calmness, while i watched this "water insect" move about...

More Jazzbird

Another most unusual feature of the jazz bird is that: along with doing at least 10 calls without repeating, they sometimes also do 3 sounds per call.  Usually the last 2 are the same, but not always. I am thankful i can experience this in a place where a lot of the time, all you hear is the bird and the wind, I hope to record many bird sounds and play some music with them. If i can share, then there is a sort of circle completed, which is in the mind that is visiting this world. Creating for it's own sake, as a part of our nature is imortant

Ponds and Oceans

       This is a sort of update and end to the theme here for now. Mixed results and happenings around the pond. The lower pond is overrun with the crays, and the mud hopefully awaits a new lotus season. Others will take responsibility. The upper tank is cleared and will also be tended to. Seasons and experiences are the stuff of our existence here. Change is the operating factor in this world of time and places. I will continue to write my views - to improve / to speak / something meaningful...

Maybe a hh verse

Eyes on the skies help the world to rise, & touching earth / giving birth / energy's flow / descending / know / yourSelf / go / in love sow☼

At the Cliffs

        I came upon one today at the cliff by the ocean. Don't see them as much down here.

New Phase - Happy Ending

A little dejected - right before getting loaded out to the shelter. Officer said special reduced adoption fee.. , i think he can be rehabilitated. Must be adopted within two weeks. Update: Owners had reported dog and picked him up.

Being Fair to Oneself

Not to be too critical, but...tonite i'll catch the stray 1 yr old pit terrier, and then i have to get him adopted in two weeks - is as long as the shelter keeps them. In 19 yrs, i've not seen dogs, only ferral cats. There is a joke about that - I didn't see them, but now i see, and i see that this is what is needed. The lotus sleep, some brave lillies remain. The crays have claimed it, or cause of the dog. The guy taking over the cray project didn't want to go there with his 1 yr old. Lessons? I learned that shit turns to fertiliser. God will come out of this. What else could the sign of a 1 yr old be but a blessing for the youth. so i have 1 lead as soon as i get her pound # tomorrow. i put something in her food so she will sleep well tonite. {the upper pond was cleared but now the crays must be moved. -  i thought this was a hobby}i thought i heard a dog a while ago, mostly tonite is the toads party night so that's the loudest sound. i hope he dreams it off.
i supplied my pre - curried - cayenne (which was very hot today) rice and veg. and the owner thru in a chicken leg i think. i will check soon. Yesterday was the longest he stayed before bolting, as i got down and spoke gently it's ok, it's ok.  i will go check soon. Aloha to you...You did the best you could with what you knew and the tools you had.

Cetetean Communication

         Ok, i'm just going to say it: I believe we can tune in and communicate with whales, or that we are somehow linked. My experiences with Humpbacks over the years have given me this feeling. I know most people think someone who say things like that are woo woo or crazy, but it doesn't really matter to me; everyone has the freedom to think what they want. Today's, and the last two visits have given more evidence. The first visit, when i called to them, was written here before. The second, was when i decided that the 5 mi. loop was good enough and i didn't really need to see them. In a 30-40mph. wind - didn't see one. Today, i thought, either way is ok. At first, anyway.

           Checked the radar, no rain, maybe. It rains a lot out here. On the way down, saw only one guy working on the dirt/stone road - a rare thing.  Not that many people on the road for a couple miles. On the way down, giggling elementals? At least it made me laugh. At the bottom, where the road becomes 4 wd. - Saw a man wheeling his child in a carriage. Getting down to the trail to the cliffs - i saw the mystical Numbers: 444. There's a couple other houses, no numbers? Reaching the cliffs, i saw the two young steers, who said: we just wanted to serve. Namaste. I wish, in this world, you wouldn't be getting served. 

           Reaching the platform and stretching -   At first, i couldn't believe my eyes. Looking down in the swirling foam - the gold fish? A different one? In an upper part, but still caught after 3-4 weeks. Is this a good mirror, am i still trying to get out of the pond and reach the ocean. I thought about many of those who are tossed by the waves of life, who cannot swim above the raging tide. It bounced him from place to place, but he was trying to get to the place that, when only the perfect timing and right tide, will lead to freedom. Has he been in there for weeks? Not much i could do, except desiring his liberation, from 100 ft. up. when will i reach the ocean?

            Turning toward the cetaceans, i tried to feel where they were. A good 30mp. wind had dried the sweat. Well, i thot, the first time i called and they came. The second - no call - no see. This time - ambivalence? Tried that for a while, laid back and breathed in the indigo horizon. Had been listening to their sounds on a hydrophone lately, so those sounds came to my mind. There are many different sounds with the many individuals. One is a high woooo (there's a woowoo) - actually at least a couple different ones, probably females. A little like an owl. The low growls of the males are like cows, lions and elephants. --There's a lot of things going on - males competing to for mating or to escort mothers and calves. I started making some calls. mostly telepathically.  After a bit, no sign of any anywhere in the 5 sq. mi. area. I thot, well i don't want them to go out of their way, or impose on them, but, i Really want to see them. Either way, i'm detached and will accept whatever happens. Every day doesn't have to be always magical, tho actually it is always there. The spine tingling opening sessions have continued. It is a magical time now, on earth. Stand up - stretch - chi gong. Yeah i don't want to bother them - and just at that moment, the turquoise color that reflects the white belly appeared about 3-400 yds. out - she was on her side just long enough -- to wave -- with her flipper...one back and forth, and then continue on with her calf... Know that is part of their behavior. Excited and laughing / bliss full experiences...

Signs and Dreams

    Life is but a dream... it's getting to that merrily rowing that's the trick... in a game that is short - or forever...  seconds can merge into eternality...
    A neighbor was saying something about me doing or saying something, thinking i was an Aquarius. And since i'm called Libra in western, and Virgo in eastern (sidereal), it made me think about the things we use to help explain situations and people, and the world. I've heard different explanations for the different systems, and it's all valid if it helps you - if it works. The universal forces are unknowable by the human mind. i think you have felt the moon shine - how about Jupiter? Before i came to these isolated islands, a psychic said: you lived there before 4 x's, and you have something that is calling you - you may have the chance to learn the Huna teachings from a woman(have had 2 that came). So, if she correctly identifies the past life problem in the current one, the psychic is useful in helping me work on that issue that is not resolved.- have made progress. One, from the psychologist involves asking the creator to cut the karmic ties since the the soul's inception (a kind of ho'oponopono). The different practices(cards,readings,etc.) will reveal according to all the people,and forces at work. We need to know certain things, each according to their desire, but like a wise young woman named Angelique
 said: "Expend your time on the solution..."  i was thinking about her today, because i was cleaning up someone's trash that was ripped apart by a stray dog. She does immense work in that field with many animals for KSPath.
         Even though i passed the torch for pond management, maybe it was not done with enough communication. The dog is symbolising and telling me something (Another subject - "clean" and "unclean"). Still, is this some kind of strange mirror or reflection - Can virtual worlds interact on the physical plane? I've been having a lot of wildlife glitches lately. After advancing in consciousness, the body tests, as it changes to follow the changing inner bodies. The poor thing was skinny and has been around for over a week in the trash, (but not mine, 'cause there is nothing good).  I found out they get 2 weeks at the HS shelter, so i found a group that adopts individuals out, so since it's young, she should have a good chance. Another couple days, and the stray is still here. The animal control will not come out unless the animal is in your possession. I've gotten 10 ft away, but she runs if any closer - being chased away so often. Tomorrow i will get a trap (which is challenging with my transportation lately), and i'll get it adopted. The energies and teachings are abundant now... just breathe and keep rowing...
