imagining worlds within worlds

Friday, February 18th, 2011

From a conversation I was having, a new thought unfolded. There is so much we don’t understand about our existence, so many possibilities that would shatter everything we think we know. New possibilities flooded my mind yesterday.

There is so much discussion about dimensions. Third dimension. Fourth dimension. Maybe even a fifth dimension. But I see the possibility of there being thousands of dimensions…maybe millions. We have so confined ourselves to the notions being handed to us, that we are not open to receiving new ideas. But I leave myself open, so that everything can come in in due time. Imagine it, millions of dimensions. Dimensions within dimensions. Dimensions running parallel to dimensions or across. Dimensions the size of stars, or the size of a grain of sand. Dimensions that are like steam, floating about aimlessly and dissipating from sight, yet still there.

Imagine. What if our existence is like a tiny molecule on a grain of sand. Imagine that a grain of sand is actually the representation of a galaxy, not just a solar system, but an entire galaxy. And when you pick up a grain of sand, it is like picking up our Milky way. Now, look down across a beach at all the grains of sand, look as far as your eye can see at all the possible galaxies (and dimensions) that could exist on that vast beach. Then (sit down for this one), imagine that entire beach filled with what we imagine to be more than trillions of galaxies, also sits on a grain of sand somewhere out there in the cosmos where there is another cosmic beach. Again–the beach is on a grain of sand somewhere. :: silence ::

hopi elders statement

Hopi Elders Statement

“You have been telling people that this is the eleventh hour.
Now you must go back and tell people that this is the hour!
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your Garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to yourself.
And not look outside of yourself for a leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing very fast.
It is so great and fast that there are those who will be afraid.
They will hold on to the shore.
They will feel that they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know that the river has its destination.
The elders say that we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open,
and our heads above the water.
See who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time we are to take nothing personally,
least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do,
our spiritual growth comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones that we have been waiting for.”

- The Elders, Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation

birds in motion

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

They undulated as one body.  Their movements gave no clue to the fact that each was an individual bird, each with its own instinct and spirit mind. Yet, their connection in flight told another story, an additional tale. They were one. They were a single heartbeat, flying across the sky like a dancer in motion. Yes, they danced. They danced in easy movements that needed no music. Their rhythm was flawless and their inner song kept them in time to the wind. They flew with and against the waterless tide. Floating gently over waves of air. Yes, they were one.

I watched in amazement. There was nothing to disturb their seemingly psychic connection. There couldn’t have been less than a hundred of them. Still, their bodies danced. They moved. They floated and dipped, dived and rose. I wanted to fly with them. Become one with them. They were my brothers and sisters of the air. They understood the meaning of togetherness.

As they flew, I remembered our past.  We once acted as a single body, moving together through time and space, feeling the heartbeat of each other. Now, we move as individuals. We are lost in our singularity. Many of us feel the disconnect and want once again to rejoin. But we have forgotten how. Remembrance is not needed; like a web we are still connected. We live the illusion of disconnect, of singularity. Embrace the truth of who you are. Fly again together as one.

how will you die?

Monday, January 24th, 2011

It has been disturbing to read some of the things people say about how we should live, and how we die. The recent death of a 96 year old man, who spent his life attempting to live healthy, has sparked my concerns about how we think. Many will know who I speak of. It is intentional why I do not bother to mention his name, because it doesn’t matter. Imagine a man or woman, any man or woman, who has spent their life exercising in a healthy way, eating wholesomely, mostly vegetarian lifestyle, and they live to the ripe old age of 96.

Most cannot name ten people in their family who lived to 96, yet, the ignorant would say, see, he or she still died at 96. Seriously? This is amazing to me. Imagine, because I know that physical death is a fact of life, this means I should abuse my body?? If this isn’t insanity, then I don’t know what is.

I know that one day I will no longer exist in this body. But I would rather live to 96 doing cartwheels, running and jumping, than die at 66 after spending decades being ill, taking pills, in pain, and unable to walk up a flight of stairs. To think that caring for ones body is a waste of time is ludicrous. An abused body abuses you, causing you to live your remaining days in discomfort. So while I know that I will someday change form, and move on from this place, I would rather do it knowing that on that last day, the 96th year of my life, I was able to run, jump and move my body without pain, without pills and with joy.

To imagine it doesn’t matter is a convenient excuse to continue with habits that one is too mentally weak to let go of. Admit to mental and physical weakness. But don’t belittle the brilliance of a soul who knows the value of living healthy, so they can live everyday joyously and pain free. How do you want to die? Because in the end, poor lifestyle choices could extend your days of living in agony. Think about it.

a day out of time

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

Taken January 9, 2011

While I ponder the new year that is celebrated by many people around the world, I also ponder and consider the 13 month lunar calendar that exists to show, to some degree, the true cycles of our planet. On the calendar exists 13 months, each comprised of 28 days, with one day out of time, which falls on what we would consider July 25 on the Gregorian, or Civil Calendar. This day out of time is a day that does not truly exist on a calendar for those who go by the lunar cycles; it is the day that many around the world live without time, basically, existing without the need for a calendar or clock. Just a day to live. A day to be.

As many plan the coming day out of time, Monday, July 25, 2011, I hope for a time when all days will be out of time and merely lived to the fullest, without need for calendar or clock. Imagine how free we could be if our lives weren’t ruled by dates. To be able to live without the notion of being late or on-time. Without the pressure of having to be here or there at a certain “time”.

The mainstream new year was not synchronistically in alignment with the planet’s cycles. This lack of synchronistic living with the planet also misaligns our body and spirit. The pull and push of various energies in the cosmos allows for a flow that balances the planet. This flow is our flow. Our physical flow. Our spiritual flow. Everything is flow and energy and balance. What the planet is, our bodies are. We must flow in sync with the planet; whether lunar, solar or stellar. Part of this synchronicity is recognizing that the planet works in cycles, not time. And these cycles have a vibration that speaks to the energetic force of our planet.

My goal is to step into living in sync with the planet, and moving with its natural flow. Join me on this daily adventure. And then join me on July 25th for a day out of time.

book: ruins of empires by count volney (c.f. volney)

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

ruinsofempiresFor those who are religious or not religious, read this book. It is for everyone.  It will allow people from around the world who believe in a particular system of things to get clarity around what they purport to believe.

It will agitate the sensibilities of some, but in the end, for those who are truth seekers, it will awaken you. Volney is a profound writer with incredible brilliance. He is one of the few writers I would recommend. He gives due to cultures who were the founders of certain ideas, albeit bastardized by numerous invaders.

As an avid reader, I was able to connect not only with the history he lays down, but with the sentiment he puts forth. He employs the Socratic method in uncovering truths. This method is used by many writers to dissect certain aspects of knowledge and understanding, while making it easy for the reader to follow and comprehend.  Because the Socratic method is a discourse between two or more peoples, it gives an almost realtime feeling that the reader is there, discussing the issues with the “wise one.”

Grab a copy. Let this book teach you. It certainly taught me and added something amazing to my knowledge base.

poem: deeper

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

It is somewhere we’ve never been before

That vision many claim can never be ours

Yet, somehow we know it’s there, waiting for us to ď¬nd it

It is somewhere within us, deeper than the ocean we hope to know


We thought if we came close to it

We would be able to catch its tail end; feel its power

Yet, somehow that was not enough to make us whole

It is somewhere outside of us, farther than the sky we hope to reach


As we cry about our losses and hope for a better tomorrow

Our emotions race, sometimes to the brink of insanity

Yet, somehow we know nothing else matters but this moment

It is somewhere in our spirit, deeper than the love we can’t seem to claim


We crave for the time when we can see the likes of tomorrow

That tomorrow that’s so far away, we didn’t know it existed

Yet, we wait for the inspiration that might come.


It’s here, stronger than all the lives we had before

Sweeter than all the dreams we thought would never come true,

Greater than all the past that has prepared us for tomorrow,

Deeper than all the thoughts that carry us through today.
