Pond - New Season

Slipped down to top of the pond where the sun is, about 15 mins. or 20 for vitamin D hormone. (Should be able to test to see if people who get 12 mo yr are healthier).  Exercise to open the third chakra. All of them but focusing on 3rd. Missed a lot of the lotus blooms, One stands at the center - open - letting go. Dragonfly and butterfly - Dragon circling the pond several times - a counterclockwise - stopping sometimes to come toward me to look. A friendly 'where you goin' was met by him coming closer. I saw another type of dragonfly take in water from the rear - last year  - flying close to the pond(sorry-least it rhymed). Realize the mindfulness and the stuff I've been doing has made the intensity of student's level of pain - felt strongly. Being an assistant the preschool is the natural evolution of the path of non - judgement and forgiveness. The magical age of 3 -9 is a wonderful mirror, as you water the garden of their soul, i've always had a good rapport with kids. I can learn the job in a short, positive time. After 2 half days, coming from my solitary life, was able to be friendly and helpful. It is a blessing to able to help kids and have school be a life - affirming, safe place to spend your days. Their was an almost tribal moment, when the "special mini playground was built - and specified - Only kids - or even - no adults. I postulated - "what if someone asked nicely to come in?' Next thing i knew - was being led into the fort - offered sandwiches and other food- The elder being respected and given hospitality. Also official as dad training for toileting duty. Only the 2 3 yr olds need much help. It's a great group, great teacher. Yet i leave it to the highest good of all principle. We'll see.  - 3rd chakra - http://youtu.be/b925oAVB7QI

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

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
