In hindsight, the intention that got me onto my bike this morning is no longer important, since it never materialized. But hey, I should be used to that after five years of on and off success in manifestation, right? And probably this minor thing just...
Tag: decide (page 4 of 8)
To paraphase Gigolo Joe, the lover robot from Steven Spielberg's AI: Artificial Intelligence: "Let's combine ... Chemistry with ... Affections". Some would call them afflictions, but that is just their limited self speaking. Nope, Chemistry class today, actually Chemistry 101: States of Life. And to jive things up, I'll even throw in some classy free music to go with it, totally off charge!
From our days in highschool, we all remember the states of matter:
These are straight from Wikipedia, which mentions a host of other more specialized states, but let's keep it simple for now. We will just restrict ourselves to Gaseous, Liquid and Solid, with a brief outing into plasma. My main theory is this, that states of matter are not restricted to chemistry alone, and that we could very well recognize States of Life, or States of Manifestation. Looking at the above diagram, and Knowing what I Know Now, I claim that:
- Lust is the Solid state of Life
- Love is the Liquid State of Life
- Knowing is the Gaseous state of Life
- Oneness is the Plasma state of Life
How's that for starters? Perhaps that is why the most spoken language across the world refers to both the science of Chemistry and the Attraction between people as Chemistry? Was it this realization that made Iggy Pop explode into creativity with his hit called Lust for Life?
Lust is (like a solid) usually a case of fixed relationships, even though actual reactions may still create alternate connections. Point is, people hardly ever make life changes because of just lust. Because the moment they do, their heart start melting, and Lust turns into Love! Conversely, when Love turns sour but the need for relationships pulls again, we tend to freeze right out of Love, back into Lust.
Now Love can be hot, but only upto a certain point. After that, it becomes so volatile that relationships no longer work. Yes, you got it right. You may have thought of swingers as a lesser breed, but actually they have transcended the need for more or less stable relationships. That does not mean their Love is any weaker than yours!
To illustrate the state of Mind that goes with this state, called liquid, just listen to Robbie Valentine's Megaman, from the incredible album called the Magic Infinity:
As we go up in the world of states, freedom for the individual particles becomes ever greater. One may fall back from Knowing or Love to Lust, but the attraction remains. How many of us wished they had what it takes to be a free agent, interacting in this field as if nothing could hurt them? Now I'm not talking conspiracy here, because no man or group of men has been intentionally plotting to keep us from ascending. Basically, it is just essential Set Theory: us all being 'limited' subsets of anything, it stands to reason we are unique and hence not the same. Thus the common part of us is BY DEFINITION smaller than most of us individually. And interactions tend to keep us fixed. Solids need no container to contain themselves, but liquids do, just like gases. The same goes for Lusters, Lovers and Knowers.
For the third state, the gaseous one, I've chosen Donna Summer's the State of Independence. Just turn her on (if you dare) while I wrap up this little number....
And then there's the fourth state, the Plasma state. Call it Oneness, Spirituality, or anything you like. This is the state where Chemistry becomes moot, because as you remember that is where the molecules split into their atoms, thus becoming available again for the dance of manifestation, back into Chemistry, just for the Rush of it! And that is the final musical finale of today: I knew it was going to be a Rush song, but never in a million years figured it would be a song called Subdivisions, which I'd never even heard.....
One last thing: you may have noticed that there are no state transitions from either solid or liquid straight to plasma. In hindsight, that make perfect sense: since free will is the prime directive in this cosmos, you having expressed relationships as your wishes will not be wrenched free from them. Only when you consciously decide that your love is unconditional, and thus given while expecting nothing whatsoever in return, will you become hot enough to reach the gaseous, and through it, the plasma state. Now don't you run off to get a divorce, because that is not the way to go. That is not unconditional Love, but withdrawal of Love, and that will get you nowhere fast! Just keep sending the love, and pretty soon you'll notice you won't fall in love any more unless it is with the All. But just like two gas molecules may choose to travel in the same direction for a while or longer, their relationship is openended. Love sets free, does not try to bind or contain.
Love your Lust for Chemistry,

This channel showed the group at their best with a very
direct channel to the citizens of planet Earth. Normally I would call
this one "Earth Shattering" but I think we will find other words now,
especially after this message. The spoke of the recent earthquakes and
how it has shifted the earth to a new rotational axis that has changed
our experience of time and gravitational pull. They said several
interesting items that they said our sciences now agree with and
several that they don't yet know. It will take us years to uncover all
the events that took place in that one series of adjustments.
They spoke of what was ahead for humanity and directly ahead for our
economies and especially the US. At one point they warned the leaders
of planet Earth of what is ahead. They likened this a wave of energy
coming in rearranging everything in its path. They talked of the
sexual energy entering the planet as they described three years ago.
This is why everywhere you look in the news there is some sexual
incident being uncovered.
They also said the
economies of the world will take another hit soon as the US will soon
experience great difficulty unless it balances. At one point the group
spoke directly to the leaders of the planet warning of the severe
effects of polarity thinking. They challenged each of us to search for
these beliefs within ourselves and all begin to look for ways we are
alike instead of separate. The ride is less scary if we all hold hands.
Big hugs. Have a great month!
Steve
Greetings from Home
We visit with you this day to tell you about what is taking place on planet Earth. First, let us share with you, dear ones, that you have already changed the outcome of planet Earth. You have already shifted the highest potential, for humanity is no longer limited by what you used to call your highest potential. There are opportunities now to find passion in ways that you only dreamt were possible. Each and every one of you has come with a part of Home that you need here to put this grand puzzle together in order to create Home on Earth. Some of you think you do not have anything. What do you have to say that has not already been said by someone else? Every one of you has a very unique piece of that puzzle and all of those puzzles are needed right now. Yet, it is becoming difficult. Not only are you transitioning and evolving incredibly fast, but so is the Earth.
Most of the changes that have already happened have set into motion some things which will affect all of you over the next 100-200 years. So, let us explain a little bit of what is ahead in a couple of different areas and how this will affect each of you personally. Let us go back a few weeks and talk about the Earthquake in Chile which was,one of the largest earthquakes you have had in this millennium. Not only has it changed the face of Earth, but it has shifted more than you know and has actually confirmed a few predictions previously made. One of these shifts is that the atomic clocks on Earth will soon need constant adjustment. Your atomic clock is no longer accurate on planet Earth.
Inner Earth is Growing
The inner core of Earth is what you call metal. It is actually an iron core. The next level, which is actually a very good part of the Earth, is what you would call molten or liquid metal. This liquid metal has always allowed the inside of the Earth to travel at a different rate of speed than the outside of the planet. Although the inside of the Earth is actually spinning faster than the outside, recently it has sped up and is moving even faster. It could even be said that the inside of the Earth is pulling the rest of the Earth into its orbit. This has been known for a very long time. However, what we wish to tell you is that this energy is now changing and has been speeding up. Your sciences do not agree with this yet, but we will tell you what they do agree with and what they do not. They have not found this to be true, but we are telling you that it is absolutely true.
The other thing that is happening is that this ball of molten metal has been growing. As it reaches certain levels it hits pockets of emptiness, or pockets that have formed through volcanic activity. This is what you are starting to see as the eruption of the Ring of Fire. There is much more to come. You are going to see activity in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. You will also see further activity in the Atlantic Ocean, but it will be less at this point. These are triggers and things we spoke about so very long ago. Now they are happening and your world is changing on a regular basis.
New Human Templates
Understand, dear ones, you are at a similar point where the dinosaurs disappeared from planet Earth but that is not going to happen to humans. Two things are happening: the Earth is changing to house a higher vibration not only of herself, but of humans, animals and every other part of it. The entire game is changing to begin a new game at a higher vibration. Secondly, your physical re-wire—your own physical bodies—are changing so that you can carry more of your own light and your higher self. Only a very small portion of your higher self is housed within the body for the temporary duration that you call a lifetime. Literally, only a small piece of it does…it is easy for you to see that you have one higher self and 11 aspects on Earth. So, 11 parts of your higher self goes into each one. However, the vast majority of your higher self does not fit into any of these aspects, including all of them together. That is about to change. You are now going to be able to carry more light than ever before in your physical body without having to go Home and without having to rid the Earth of the human race.
You will make this evolution while you are standing, walking, sleeping, playing, and loving on planet Earth. That has never been done before. That is the reason that all eyes in the universe are upon planet Earth right now. The six parental races that helped you form these physical bodies that you hold right now are back again to help. The interesting part is that they are fighting over who can help the most. But they are all here to work with you, because you are no longer limited by the same 500 human templates that you had in the beginning. You are no longer limited to that, which is part of the reason that your physical bodies are changing and your emotional bodies are growing.
Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?
We wish to tell you that the Earth has changed its relationship to time. Your relationship to time will also change, and what you do not know about it at this point is that you have control over how that changes. If you do not take charge in any way, the default answer is that time will shrink. Time has a natural tendency to shrink anyway. It is the nature of humanity because everything is relative. If you go back to when you were one day old, that one day is 100% of your lifetime. If you go back to the time when you were one year old that one day is only a very small percentage of your lifetime, so it has a tendency to naturally shrink as you age. Now we tell you that even the atomic clocks are noticing the difference. Big changes have happened as a result of the shift in Chile. Number 1: The Earth has changed axis; it is not on the same axis it was before. It has already shifted and your scientists are scattering frantically trying to figure out by how much and how we can measure it accurately, as they have noticed a major difference. It has been reported all over the world because the sun used to enter a window at a certain time of day and it now it is on a different schedule. Those times have changed throughout the entire world. Your scientists are looking for answers to describe what has taken place, but let us give you the short answer so that you can see what is happening.
We told you the molten part of the Earth has become larger inside the Earth and that part has been growing over the last few hundred years—especially over the last 60 years. As that has grown, the Earth itself is not as solid as you thought it was. The earthquakes in Chile and the earthquakes around the Ring of Fire, including the one in Haiti, have caused a shift of the planet not only on the axis. It has actually elongated the planet a little bit, almost as if was squished in the middle and got a little bit longer. Again, this is a point your scientists do not agree on, but we tell you that the process of making the planet just the slightest bit longer has also made it smaller around the middle. This means it rotates faster which is changing your relationship to time as we speak.
We encourage all of you to play with this concept you call time. Go back to some of your basics, for you have all studied ways of controlling time and learning how to project time into the future. You know that so much of it is held within your own belief systems. You believe it is accurate and you must live by this. The atomic clocks will not work for much longer, because they will need so much adjustment for what is ahead on planet Earth and some of the changes that are taking place. Embrace them. Do not fear these changes, for your reaction is actually what the earth needs to settle. Your reaction is the stability that you offer as Lightworkers not only with the Earth, but with other people around you.
A New “Wobble’’
These changes and the ones to come may create great
fear throughout many different places. You are the ones that can hold
that energy, the ones that can help to make it very positive evolution.
Let us tell you this as well…because of the planet changing her axis
slightly, what happened is that there is now a wobble. There has
always been a wobble in the Earth’s rotation. It is nothing secret. It
has always been known, but now that the wobble has changed and this
can create a circumstance for you that we wish to tell you about.
As we mentioned before, you have these up and down periods that you
are all going to be experiencing. But now it has become much stronger
than we ever thought possible. Some of the physical reactions to this
new wobble will be experienced as emotion. At times it will be
uplifting, such as joy or exhilaration, while other times you may feel
depressed as if you cannot seem to get out of bed. Those are simply
normal cycles, because you are a part of the Earth and she is a part of
you. As she is going through these changes they mimic and mirror
themselves in your bodies. This is part of how you can help to ground
this change and center this energy with her. Know that has affected you
and find the ways it can affect you positively.
Riding the Wave
There are points on this planet where you can now launch yourself. This has been done before through using astronomy and astrology to help find the perfect time to start your new business or a new project. You would always know the rotation of the sun around different planets, their alignment and how that could or could not support you. Now in addition to that, there is an entire wave of energy that slides the rug beneath your feet and shifts it in such a way as to send a wave down its length. The pull of that carpet will create high and low spots, as well as spots where you can launch yourself very effectively or be wrapped up in it and shut down. Once you are aware of these highs and lows you can learn the timing needed to make the highest use of it. We ask you to be very aware of how you are feeling, where that passion is and how you get this in the outside world, as well as your effect on other people around you. That will tell you whether you are doing your work or not. Position yourself so that instead of being wrapped up in this carpet as the big wave comes through, and instead of being overwhelmed and having to protect yourself from it, you are in just the right spot to be launched by it. That is why you are here.
You are the ones that carried the secrets from Home—from Lemuria and Atlantis—in hopes that humanity would ever reach a stage where you could come back and do it again. You are here. You made it. Each one of you has this opportunity right now to step into this energy and to position yourself at that launching point. We will tell you, dear ones, it takes tremendous courage to do that for you can see the energy moving. Some of you might want to put your little toe in, but you are not so sure about jumping into the water completely. We will come along and push you, if you only try to put your toe in. It is time. Each and every one of you came with specific timings that you wanted to be here at this exact time, because this is the time of the big shift. This is the when it is said that the shift is really going to hit the fan.
It is the time where you are going to be finding things changing in every place that you have been talking about for centuries on this planet. You find yourself in a position to put yourself on that curve. This is on a personal basis for each and every one of you, for if you try to use the normal standards that you have used for your own evolution they are not going to work the same way. In other words, you cannot count the vibrational lines of your evolution the way it used to be done. During these times we ask you to be kind and understanding of each other, as tempers can flare easily.
Economics of Earth
We also wish to speak of economics on planet Earth. You have many systems in place that have allowed you to exchange energy and to exchange money. You have a system called the stock market. We are so fascinated by that, for is so interesting to us that you have built an entire system based on the perception of perception of perception. We would never have dreamt to do that. It took humans to invent this entire process. Because of that, you have a perception of perception which is what your economies have been based on. You have gone through one of these ripples, dear ones, and it has affected the entire planet. You have had an economic event on planet Earth and it is one of these ripples that have gone through. We tell you, there are more of these ripples coming. In fact, there is a big one that is liable to come very soon. We cannot tell you when it is, because you are the ones that have the perception that determines when it is going to be. We also tell you that it does not need to be negative, for it can be a positive event. That is entirely up to you, but what we do tell you is that change is imminent in this area.
You had opportunities as this wave came through which took the air out of the balloon. All of a sudden this overinflated balloon shrank down to practically nothing. Now you are perceiving an economic recovery. You are seeing it because you perceive it. That is the way your system works—because you want to perceive it. That is exactly what is happening, yet the underlying fundamentals that had a chance to change during that explosion did not actually change. For that reason, until you see some fundamental changes in the way you do business on planet Earth you will experience more difficulties in these areas.
We also wish to reach into an area that the Keeper loves to stay away from, and we are going to talk about politics for just a moment. You are seeing a very interesting thing happening. It is occurring all over the world, but you can see it in the United States very clearly. It has happened since the incredible pull into polarity. As the new field of triality starts to come in and you have three positions from which to view things instead of just two. You have a new perception to see everything from. Yet it is difficult to truly grasp that new perception, to trust it, to understand what it means and how it works. We tell you that many of you are going through your a time where your own perception, ideas, and relationships are going to change, but that also happens on an economic level throughout the world. One thing you have all learned from this recent economic stretch is that all of your economies are connected. That is incredibly beautiful, dear ones, because it really means that you can no longer have a world war. Who would you be bombing? Yourselves? That is perfect because the blending together is what will change all of this. There are many high level officials that are now looking for this to happen, but the changes on planet Earth are occurring very radically and very quickly. Not only does this include the changes in the planet, but the changes in you, as humans, are also happening very rapidly. Because of that the economic systems that have supported you are likely to experience another one of these. However, if you know about it and are aware, you can put yourself in the highest position to create something positive instead of something negative. There will be difficulties with your systems on planet Earth. Now, how do you fix them? How do you change that? We can tell you what it looked like in the days when these systems worked, when you had empowered societies and that was the essence of the society. It was not, “How do we make money? How do we support ourselves? How do we live better?” Instead it was, “How do we empower the people around us?” That was the key element that existed in the days of Lemuria. It happened so clearly that there was no need for laws and you only had customs. It was incredibly beautiful and those days are returning.
The Soul of Business in the New Energy
You have a challenge in the way you define business so far, so let us speak first of the challenge because each person who makes up one of these collectives that you call business has a soul. The overall corporation whether it is made up of one person, five people or 500 makes no difference, for that company has a soul because it has an energy that acts as one. The moment you identify that place in the world, you can change the whole prospect of the company from the top down…all the way. What we are telling you is that companies that have only been in business for the purpose of making money will no longer be able to do that, because you are finding out it is an empty shell. There is no soul there. In the future we see a time when in order for governments to issue a permit for starting a business, it will also require that the company has a consciousness and that the company will do the best for humanity even if it is against their own profit. The company will bear the same responsibility that each and every one of you has as you walk down the street and past other people. That has not happened at this point on planet Earth. Now is the time to consider what you can do at your individual level wherever you work, whatever companies you own, or in whatever structures whether it is government or religion. These are the collectives of humans that will have to evolve very quickly.
Growing out of Polarity
This is a time where you can make a lot of these changes to result positively, rather than experiencing the cycles of fear and challenge. When you had an election in the United States, dear ones, you could not decide who was going to be president. One moment you found an extra vote over here and the next moment you found an extra vote over there. That started a stretch into polarity that was almost as if you were grasping for it. You started to move into a field of triality, but grasped for that old, familiar part. You hung onto it so tightly, that the whole world was laughing at your election and what was happening with it. Did it make any difference who won? Not really, because the reality of it showed the duality and the difficulties. In the United States you have not evolved past that, but now is the time to start doing this quickly. Dear ones, especially those in the United States, you have a very short time-frame that you can take hold of this and make something of it. We pray that the leaders can hear some of this message, because you have stretched so far into polarity that you do not know where the middle is any more. It is very important to come back to a point where nobody is right and nobody is wrong. It is a time to start figuring out how you and your neighbors are alike, instead of how you are separate. It is time to start figuring out how you can empower your people instead of spending your energy trying to lead them. Re-member, you have some of the greatest spirits on Earth and they are just waiting to go to work and spread light on this planet. If you make a space for that to happen, you will see great changes throughout all of planet Earth. It is happening now. It is taking place in many cultures, very quietly for most. Make your voices heard.
Now, how does each one of you deal with it? You say, “What can I do? I am not a leader of a nation. I am not a politician.” Dear ones, every one of you has a strong hold in the field of polarity. Every one of you believes something is right or something is wrong. It is so interesting to watch your news now, because the fight has gone on so long that no one can even re-member what the original argument was all about. So much fear has been created intentionally to dissuade all of the information on planet Earth that you are all in danger of losing your grip on reality, because you are believing and buying into the fear. Enough! You can see what is happening. There are no more secrets on planet Earth. Trust your heart. Do not allow yourself to get wrapped up in fear, for that is a luxury you can no longer enjoy…no longer afford. It is time to get serious about what you wish to do on this planet. It is time to know that you have the power to create your reality. It does not matter where you are in this ripple, what is taking place with planet Earth, what is happening with your relationships, your job, your home life, or your work life. You have an opportunity to put yourself at the pinnacle, and to actually do what you came here to do. We are behind you 1,000 percent, because our job is not to be here to tell you which way to turn or what to do. Our job is to help you re-member who you really are, because you came here with a very specific purpose. We love you more than you could ever know. It is not easy taking your wings off and pretending to be a human. You walk into many walls that way and we love you for it, for this job can only be done in the way in which you will do it.
We leave you with three little reminders. Treat each other with the greatest respect you have. Nurture one another and empower each other every chance you get. Play well together.
Espavo.

I am an “Alice-o-phile”. I adore Alice in Wonderland and have forever and ever. My basement stairwell is painted as a Rabbit Hole and I have a collection of Alice art and copies of Alice because early on, I understood the message of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass at an archetypal level.
Alice is our escort into the many absurd notions, ideas, politics and policies, beliefs and attitudes that underlie society and the way we see “reality”. And oh how long and absurd this list is of beliefs we are so convinced are true, important, real, and urgent. Why just the other day, I overheard a woman at the gym say to her friend, “I’ve got to hurry. If I don’t get this report in to my colleagues, the business deal we’ve been working on will be toast.”
“That’s absurd,” I thought. “If that report were so important – if you were so important to the business deal - what on earth are you doing at the gym?” Silly, silly girl – and now, I thought, she is going to rush away from the gym in a state of “It’s all about ME-ness”. An “Alice moment”, if there ever was one – and there are plenty in my world because I see so much “through the Looking Glass”. (Seeing through the Looking Glass requires that you reverse what you’re looking at, viewing everything through its opposite. If something appears complicated, see it as simple. People always look for “something”. Note this classic line from A through the LG: “I wish I could see nothing as well as you can.” Brilliant…)
We live in a world that is completely in love with going in the wrong direction. For example, we live in a society that completely trusts the rational mind to structure and order “reality”. (For starters, just look at what the rational mind has produced: wars, weapons, bio-destructive forces, environmental disasters, politics of deceit, religious corruption, false gods and bogus religious myths, bizarre notions of what’s real and what isn’t – like the doctrine of creationism in this, the 21st century, though civilization is much older than 21 centuries.) The absurdity of what we believe to be true and yet, how we behave as a “civilized” people is incomprehensible – much less how we go about negotiating our definition of being civilized. But enough of that…you get the picture.
Let’s jump back into Lewis Carroll and his magic. He delighted in satirizing the love affair that members of Victorian society had with themselves and, in particular, their addiction to snobbery. He looked at what the upper class could not bear to examine about themselves, which was, in essence, their own lavish lifestyles, attitudes, and well maintained prejudices about the way the world was and simply had to remain in order to keep them happy. But it is precisely this addiction to one’s personal enclosed comfort zone that positions a person to become exactly what he or she believes an elite lifestyle and privilege protects a person from becoming: close-minded, irrational, unyielding, unrealistic, and completely out of touch with the world at large. To say this another way: The more a person has to lose in life, the less likely that person is to welcome change or to embrace the vast world of the imagination.
Social and political revolutions have always been initiated at the grass roots level because those at the “top” have the most to lose. They see no reason for society to change, because from where they are sitting (Wall Street), everything looks just fine. Those who can envision energy technology, for instance, and have urged the auto and other industries for decades now to invest in energy technologies, have done so for several reasons, among them these two: First, they can see the handwriting on the decline of the oil-based economic wall. That is, we have to move in the direction of alternative fuels. But secondly, these visionaries simply can imagine the impossible. These are the people who are not afraid to take a risk and go where others have not yet gone in thought, in action, and yes, in investment in financial resources.
Carl Jung adored the realm of the imagination. He may well be the master explorer of our age of this domain. For him, the imagination contained the passageways to the psyche and the inner voices of our archetypes. Active imagination was an essential tool that he introduced, establishing a form of communication between the conscious and unconscious self. Right there we have something to imagine as impossible: opening a portal of communication between your conscious and unconscious self. That may be getting ahead of yourself a bit, but such a mega-thought does qualify for imagining the impossible, if you have never, in fact, considered undertaking such an endeavor.
Imagining the impossible – what a delicious and positively enchanting notion. And yet, the realm of the imagination is a fully and completely threatening place to suggest to a person who fears the loss of the familiar. As children, the world of the imagination is an acceptable playground because children are not yet rational creatures and a child’s imagination is considered cute – to an extent. Children are supposed to have imaginations – for a while. Technically speaking, if one can say such a thing, the psychic boundaries of children are still porous; therefore, they are subject to the “hallucinations” of the imagination. These include, for example, imaginary playmates and perhaps seeing the occasional fairy or sprite. Dark spirits may even show up. But a child is likely to be told that these nonphysical visitors are not “real”, they are merely “imaginary”. Thus, early on the lines in the sand are clearly drawn: What comes from the mind is “real”; what comes from the imagination is, well, imaginary. Not real. A poof of a thing, no more than a whimsical passing thought form.
Now granted the mind has “poofs” all the time, ideas that run through it this way and that, but because such thoughts come from the mind, these are not the same type of “imaginary” thoughts because…well…because they can perhaps wear the label of “practical” or “provable” or “conventional”. A value is made apparent very quickly to baby humans: If you are going to delve into the impossible, just make sure it’s the “practical impossible” and that your ideas can solve problems or increase production or profits somewhere. Having ideas just for the fun of having ideas is well, impractical! A waste of imaginary income – not that a person imagines or visualizes income….well, perhaps people do. But do such thoughts really qualify for “imagining” or just wishing? That question leads us to this most important question: Do people really know how to fall down the Rabbit Hole? It’s an art, after all, and not an accident.
The Art of Falling Down The Rabbit Hole
I’m an expert on falling down the Rabbit Hole. I live in the world of the imagination and the impossible. I rely upon the imagination to fill me with ideas on a continual basis. If I lived in the ordinary world, I would disintegrate in short order because the ordinary world is a place filled with reasons why ideas can’t succeed and with the wounds of failure and painful memories of the past that keep reminding people that they should live fearful lives instead of inspiring ones. In fact, even while writing this, a friend called for a business-related matter but in warming up to our meeting, he asked what I was doing. I told him I was writing a piece based on Alice in Wonderland. He asked if I liked the movie. I said, “Not really, and I suspect Lewis Carroll would not have cared for it either. Alice was meant to be enchanted in Wonderland and not be disappointed by characters who were defeated by an angry Red Queen.” He asked me why I loved Alice so much and I carried on and on about my many reasons and even brought the wisdom of Alice into the nonsense of the politics of Washington – which was not all that difficult. But after all that, he said, “I have an idea,” and off we went into the realm of the imagination, into the world of what is waiting to be created, ideas just waiting for a chance to incarnate.
Falling down the Rabbit Hole requires the capacity to “let go” and allow your imagination to take flight, giving form and vision to possibilities and impossibilities – before you let your mind tell you they are absurd, ridiculous, too expensive, and then that final blow, “What will people say?” What do you care what people say? I never have – and that is the great secret of the Rabbit Hole. You simply have to get over your fear of what other people think. For what possible reasons do you care what other people think?
Now to be clear – I am speaking of creative ideas, not of running out on my responsibilities, incurring huge debts, shooting up drugs, or deciding on a life of theft. So let’s be realistic about what I am speaking about when I speak about not caring about what other people think. I still have my head on straight and my feet firmly planted on the ground – but not my imagination. That part of me is given full reign to go off to places known and unknown to me. My target is the realm of ideas, original thought, creativity, and accessing the deep resources of your soul from which springs your “charism” or your “unique creative grace.” Visionaries and creative geniuses know this inner sanctuary, as do great poets, writers, and pioneers of science and medicine. This is where Emily Dickenson dwelled as well as Shakespeare, Mozart, Bach, Einstein, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. They all fell down their unique Rabbit Holes. They imagined worlds that did not yet exist and their lives became devoted to incarnating those worlds. I have no doubt that they imagined far more than six impossible things before breakfast every morning.
It’s easy to tell who has what it takes to sojourn down their Rabbit Holes. Within seconds of conversing with people, they say something that reveals whether they are courageous or frightened, or whether they essentially travel backwards all the time. They soon reveal whether they have the stamina of spirit to explore the unknown in their life or whether most of their decisions are aimed at keeping everything the same as it always has been. Backward travelers will never be able to find their Rabbit Holes. They have to be content with reading Lewis Carroll and simply wishing their life could be different. They will find it difficult to penetrate into the realm of the imagination, as there is a profound difference between wishing and imagining.
Wishing Versus The Power of The Imagination
Wishing has little, if any, real power. It’s musing at best and a passing thought or fancy in its weakest form. A wish is a temporary enchantment that lacks the backbone and substance to attract creative life force or power.
Imagination, on the other hand, takes effort, energy, and generates a substantial amount of emotional and psychic response once you make contact with a great idea. Merging with a unique vision is the same as having an unfamiliar download of grace rush through your system. In an instant, it penetrates into your intellect, your emotions, your mind, your vocabulary; your archetypal dynamics adjust themselves to new symbolic content – shifting your understanding of the cosmos. You can feel the power of that idea – that vision – take hold of you as it runs through your blood like a new drug, making its way into your neurology. And then it’s locked into your psyche. It’s yours. The download is complete and you are on a high that is unexplainable to anyone who has never been swept away by the thrill of contact with the realm of original thought. This is a love affair unlike anything on earth because it isn’t of the earth. But it soon will be – that becomes your task as the vessel of the imagination.
Original thought implodes someone who won’t do what’s required to be a container and vessel of that which others cannot see or comprehend. You have to be someone who can handle being misunderstood or keeping your own creative company or handling a vision others cannot understand. You have to be strong enough to believe alone – and for a long time – in what others cannot imagine. Many people have been able to do that, but most people cannot stand alone in the demanding realm of the imagination. So they live in the lesser world of fantasies and musings.
What if you really could fall down the Rabbit Hole? Would you? Doesn’t it tempt you even a little – or perhaps more than a little? Wouldn’t you love to let yourself go and tumble into your own great unknown – the unknown that is your own unimagined life that you could imagine if you fell down the Rabbit Hole? You know you would.
You could tell yourself this is just a game, so let’s just say this is just a game. Okay – falling down the Rabbit Hole is just a game. (But what if it isn’t? I had to say that – I just had to.)
Falling down your Rabbit Hole requires that you dwell in the world of your imagination. But really dwell in it. Nurture it. And here’s the challenging part: You have to do what your creativity calls for, in order to bring forth the ideas you are imagining. They won’t just fall from the sky. Books, for example, don’t write themselves. Great discoveries in medicine just don’t happen. Poets actually sweat over their poems even though they’ve been completely saturated with the grace of imagination. You must understand that you form a working partnership with your imagination. Consider that one never forms a working partnership with a wish – how absurd is that? Fairy tales always lead a person to believe that a “wish” alone does all the work. Now really – a wish and a bunch of fairies – and people believe this more than they believe in mystical consciousness. And you talk about absurd????? Anyway – on to the impossible – which is utterly possible.
Believing in Six Impossible Things Per Day
This could be the most fun exercise I have ever given you, by the way. Do NOT answer these questions rapidly. Answering rapidly is an indication that you do not want to give reflective thought to these questions which – let me point out – you have never been asked before. Therefore, you can’t possibly know the correct response right off the top of your head. These questions require reflection. And they are questions in search of responses versus “answers”.
1) Define what’s
impossible versus what’s possible for you. You’ve said to yourself,
“That’s impossible.” What were you talking about when you said that
and why was “that” – whatever that was – impossible? Too risky? Too
much money? Would you risk looking foolish?
2) What’s the key
difference between what you see as possible versus impossible? In
particular, you are to carry this description all the way to the point
of including “consequences”. That is, what would be the consequences
of the things in your life that you declared were impossible – because
in identifying the consequences, you are naming what you are really
afraid of experiencing?
3) Everyone travels backwards because
everyone has a history. The object now is to determine this: How often
each day do you travel backwards in time? All day? Most of the day?
Occasionally?
4) Are most of your decisions aimed at keeping your
life as it is or introducing change? What is your rationale for your
decisions: Safety or new experiences and adventure?
5) Do you tend
to dismiss the creative ideas of others, looking for why new ideas of
suggestions won’t work as opposed to why they could work?
6) Is
there some part of your life that you would like to move forward that
would be assisted by believing in six impossible things?
Imagining Six Impossible Things
Start anywhere. Or you can build all six impossible ideas around a strategy, all supporting the desire to break through something. Imagine something in your life that you would like to be other than the way it is. Imagine something absurd, for instance, or you doing something you have never done before. For example, imagine yourself wearing something you’ve always wanted to wear, or imagine yourself speaking to a neighbor that you really do want to meet, or imagine yourself climbing a tree.
Here’s the real point of this exercise: Holding these imaginings is symbolic of the White Queen in Alice – pure new thought. Consider the Red Queen the aggressive part of your mind that will come to do battle with pure thought, pure imaginings, pure creativity. The Red Queen will always try to destroy a creative gift as the Red Queen represents the opposition of the collective unconscious as well as your external world and your own inner saboteur, so you must meet that force on your inner battlefield. If you can grasp that, then you can understand that the object of imagining the impossible is a multileveled discipline that introduces you to the power of your imagination and creativity as well as to your inner saboteur.
But imagining is ultimately not enough. You have to do more than just imagine. You have to act on something that you imagine. You have to bring it forth and give it life. The “impossible” requires vigilance and dedicated attention and constant courageous choices as well as a willingness to allow your life to change in “impossible” directions – directions transcendent of north, south, east, and west. Imagine that.
How often should you make a list of six impossible things? That all depends on how daring you are and how bold an imagination you have. In this regard, there are no rules. You decide. My list is endless.
Just go for it. Enter the realm of impossibilities. One of the most delicious lines Emily Dickenson ever wrote was: Dwell in impossibilities. She obviously resided down the Rabbit Hole. It’s no wonder she is my favorite poetess.

The Five Seasons
A plum-tree stands alone on a hill of its own,
Its petals drop, its branches wither, its sap falls low…
and yet spring comes with all its vibrancy in spite of frost
and the beauty and the life return to the flowers (see them).
~ Jay Ramsay ~
The Poems of Kuan Yin
This poem spoke so strongly to me as my business’ name is CocoPlum, located on the highest ridges of our flat island and I do feel like the solo tree of its kind in this terrain, most recently dragging through life as if I was dying a slow death, without blossoms, without life force and then…a new moment arrived. Wow, it is clearly springtime and life is offering up its natural renewal. The rotted stairs of my tropical wood home were fixed, at last. Our healing spa, which has been put to work for the season, purchased new linens. I cleaned out my closet of clothes, everything, that had not been worn in the last 8-12 months, recycled. New projects presented themselves for consideration.
Everything is feeling fresh and alive. I have an undeniably strong anticipation of something coming. At first, I thought it was just this new moon, or simply Spring itself, but the feeling doesn’t go away. It feels like I won the lottery but no-one has informed me yet. Something large-scale has moved into my auric field but life hasn’t yet revealed its destination. We are half way through the 6th galactic night of the Mayan Calendar and from what I understand, the BIG energy is moving in at the end of May and then again in July. Until then, I can only be a dreamy, foolish, Spring mother and ponder the futures’ possibilities….
As I ponder, I am dealing daily with headaches, something that has never, ever afflicted me and the newest “ascension” symptoms- losing my mind, my memories, my stream of thoughts, and forgetting the things I have said or promised. All of this is so unlike me. I recently read that the poles are responsible for our mental conditions. When the astronauts were sent into space for longer than 2 weeks, into no polarity they began to lose their minds. Okay, so I understand. Our poles are shifting, our magnetic grids are askew and I clearly can no longer keep up with my thoughts or the speed of information. All is well though as this is how the Maya said it would go… the only thing to do is truly go with the flow. No more thinking, no more plotting, no more planning, only living in the moment, breath by breath. It is the only way to walk into our destined miracles.
Last Friday morning I woke up and rather than opening my business, I decided in a heartbeat to leave for a weekend get-away. Kuan Yin had been calling me to come visit her in our usual spot, the waterfalls at Clarissa Falls. In my fourteen years of visiting this sacred place, I have never actually sat myself right in the heart of the falls and let it wash over me. On this unexpected trip, I spent hours sitting and rejuvenating in the Falls as Kuan Shi Yin whispered her compassionate words of solace. “Be still, never fear, all is well! Look- (she showed me the Ceiba, sacred tree to the Maya which was shedding its silk and within its lovely silk was located the trees seed) Gather-Dream-Plant your Seeds, it’s Spring. Do not give up on your dreams just as they are about to harvest”.
Like so many lightworkers who have taken the wounded healer, struggle path, I am weary of the journey. This winter seems to have been especially challenging and energetically difficult. But, deep inside, I know, the struggle is almost over. I just read an incredibly interesting new article found at www.redlotus.org “The Re-birth of the Etheric Human”. In sum, this article speaks of the Mayan Evolutionary Theory & Calendar and our ascension and growth from the 3rd dimension to the 4th dimension (which happened in a short 50 year period with technology: especially the internet) and now our birth to the 5th dimension. The writer states that our 4th dimension status is our training wheels into the 5th dimension. She says the training wheels are about to be removed.
That makes sense. If one must communicate by way of telepathy in the 5th dimension, then the internet has prepared the way. No longer hitting the email send button to reach our friends, families and work colleagues, we will simply tune in the mind, which has lost all its logic. Whenever I go into a psychic reading, I have trained myself over the years to not “think” about how it works. I simply flip the cards and allow them to do their magic. If I spent too much time questioning and contemplating how the cards are consistently reaching the pertinent information of the questioner, I would never receive an accurate reading. My energy would be tied up in doubt. I guess in our fifth dimension earth world, thinking a message to someone will become as second nature as typing an email and we all will become confident in the fact that the message safely arrived.
Red Lotus also states that breaking through the ceiling of the 4th dimension and into the 5th is painful:
‘Today we are experiencing incredible Great Shifts, right at the current ‘time’ on the Cosmic Calendar. These Shifts facilitate our ‘struggle’ to break through the ceiling of the 4th Dimension.
Like for a chicken born out of the egg, or a butterfly from the cocoon, breaking through the protective ‘ceiling’ of the 4th Dimension is painful, because, all our 4 bodies, the Physical (1,st, 2nd, 3rd Dimensions), the Light Body (4th and 5th dimension), the Emotional (3rd and 4th dimension) and Soul Body (5th and higher Dimension) must be perfectly integrated, cleansed and healed.”
The next six months of the 6th galactic night are going to speed by, of this I am sure, and during that time,I believe a lot of eggs are going to start cracking. I hope what comes out of your egg is beautiful!
The Time of Transition 1999-2012
“Right NOW we are experiencing a “shift of the Ages”, as was foreseen by the ancients, we are indeed in the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and the Earth and humanity are experiencing a vital transference shift from a third to a fifth dimensional frequency.
This shift was and has been referred to as the ‘Time of no Time’. We are currently in the transition period of the fourth dimension which creates the illusion of being stuck in a time warp as Earth goes through a rapid shift in time and space.
Throughout this transition our planet and humanity will continue to experience radical changes within their frequency, corresponding alchemical makeup and consciousness.
We will enter
the fifth dimension between 2011-2013. At which time the world that we
know will continue to go through radical changes so we can live in this
new dimension already beginning to manifest within our current
reality. We are entering into a whole new way of being.” (Red Lotus)

From Victim to Creator – Part 2
In Part 1 of this series I shared with you the final and defining moment of how, in October 2008, I came to decide to be the creator of my own reality.Obviously there was a lifetime of events that lead up to this moment and I am now still busy discovering what it means to make that decision.And that is what I want to share with you in this post – what DOES it mean to decide that you are the creator of your own reality?If you were to claim for yourself that you are “an eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power” then what should you create?
Simply put, I cannot see that it is possible to make a buck in the world of business and still have your integrity in tact.
I found I could also no longer countenance all the endless chasing after money.All the polishing of egos and kow-towing that had to be done to people that I would otherwise not want to spend even a moment’s time with.All the stress and all the worry, all in the interests of a few pennies in my own pocket while I made strangers that I would never even meet much, much richer; the invisible owners of the corporation called “shareholders” that were the beneficiaries of everyone’s labour.
And that was just one area of the life I was living that was not right for me.There were many.Everywhere I looked I asked myself, “if I am a creator being, is THIS what I want to create?”And the answer was almost always “no”.
I didn’t want the city anymore with its mad traffic and all the aggression, crime and frustration.I didn’t want the inauthentic friends.I didn’t want the non-stop social events and wild parties that always ended with emptiness.I became disconnected from all the disconnect.
So the question arose - if this was not what I wanted to create then what DID I want?Given that I now knew for sure I did not want to continue living the life I was living, this was obviously a question that was in urgent need of answering.
Fortunately, I have a higher-self that is very kind to me.By the time I was ready to claim my own creator-status I had already found a way to show myself, in the clearest way imaginable, exactly what I wanted to create.Even though I didn’t know this was what I was being shown at the time.Does that sound cryptic?Allow me to explain:
In April of 2008 (which was six months before that final, momentous decision), Lisa and I were on holiday in an area of my country called The Garden Route. We have always loved it there and had holidayed there every single year for the past 15 years.It’s mainly the indigenous Tsitsikamma (pronounced Tzi-tzee-karma) forests on the slopes of the Outeniqua Mountains (pronounced Oh-ten-ick-wah) that draw us there.But there is something very special about the whole area.On this particular holiday we experienced something that changed us both forever.It occurred while we were on a hike in a particularly beautiful and unspoiled area.At some point the trail took us up a hill, out of the forests and onto a small plateau overlooking a spectacularly beautiful valley with a small river winding its way along the bottom running into the sea in the distance.On any given day, this would be the kind of view that I would stop and marvel at.It certainly was beautiful.But on that particular day, standing there looking across the valley at the forested mountains in the distance, something changed.The world around me was suddenly impossibly beautiful.Now, I could try to describe it – I could wax lyrical about the way the sun poured its light down on the earth like golden syrup.I could tell you that each leaf of every single tree looked like a perfect emerald jewel and that the wind through the grass set up a vibration that sang and hummed in my soul.I could tell you that I believed I could see with absolute and perfect clarity every single leaf and blade of grass right the way to the distant horizon.I could tell you about the quality of the air – that it had become gelid with the density of pure life essence that surrounded and interpenetrated me and all that was around me.I could throw pages and pages of such words at you in my desperate attempt to share with you the pure transcendent bliss of that moment and always I would feel like I am not even scratching the surface of what that moment was like.Perhaps I should simply say that I believe I saw God in the very Life of the forest on that day.My heart was opened and a portal was made there, through which I saw the world.For the very first time ever I really SAW.I saw with my heart and my soul instead of my eyes and my mind.And it was beautiful.It was more beautiful than I could imagine anything ever being.This amazing, mystical experience was beyond my ability to even begin to make sense of.I stood.I stared.I was awed.I felt.I knew.I belonged.
Striving for comprehension my mind eventually came up with an idea of what to do with this experience.It sent the thought out to the forest saying: “I see you!I love you!Will you accept us as custodians?”
And then I gained the presence of mind to wonder what had happened to Lisa.I had no idea how much time had passed since I had last spoken to her as we huffed and puffed up the steep slope.I turned to look for her.She was a few metres away, down on her knees with her back turned to me.I noticed she was shaking.As I approached her I realised she was crying.I got closer and I heard her saying over and over again; “yes… yes… yes…”
In that moment, it felt to me like she was answering my question on behalf of the forest.Or maybe the forest had asked her that same question and she was answering.It felt like Lisa and the whole of the forest and I were all one being and we were all speaking the same question and answer to ourselves:“Will you accept us as custodians?Yes… yes… yes.”*
After sometime – I have no idea how long – we noticed it was getting late and we had some distance to walk to get back to the car.Reluctantly, but with out hearts full, we walked back to the car in a kind of euphoric, blissful semi-trance.We both knew something life-changing had happened but had no way to make sense of it.
I am deeply grateful that Lisa experienced this with me.Partly because experiencing it alone would have made it altogether less meaningful but more so because if I had experienced this alone I would have known that I was now on a journey without her.An experience like this changes you.You are no longer the same person you were before such an event.Everything changes.Certainly your life path and all the things you have previously valued are substantially re-arranged.
And so it was that, six months later, when I hit the crisis which caused me to finally choose to release my own victim status and to begin to claim my own creator-status instead, I was ready.I won’t lie to you, I had a great deal of difficultly and discomfort letting go of victim in all its guises.I am STILL busy with the vestiges of that process.But at least I knew one thing… the most important thing… the thing that would pull me forward from then on.I knew that I wanted to create a life that brought me always to that state of connection that I had felt on the crest of the hill in the Outeniqua Mountains.I knew that I wanted to create myself as a part of that blissful Oneness.I knew I wanted to release those things that drove me into a state of separation and disconnect.I wanted the Light, the Life and the Love.I wanted it all.I know now that what Lisa and I experienced there was a true mystical experience.A truly transcendent moment.It was a moment of perfect Oneness with All That Is.And since experiencing that, the first time, I have known that what I wanted more than anything was to find my way to a permanent experience of that.
It was also clear to me that my Soul had a plan for me and that the forests of the Outeniqua Mountains were a vital part of that plan.I am deeply grateful to The One that Lisa felt exactly the same way.
And that is what we set about doing.
As I write this blog post we have just taken delivery of a huge stack of cardboard boxes.We are just about to begin packing up those of our possessions that are going with us in our move to the Outeniqua Mountains.Yes, we are actually doing it.We are moving.Lisa resigned her job.Would you believe it if I told you that, just before she resigned, she was offered a very attractive position in the South of France?Big money and all the ego-inducements that a sparkling career-path can offer.She turned it down.Would you believe it if I told you that I gave my business away?Two of my employees had shown such passion and commitment to the business that my heart told me that the right thing to do would be to give them the business.I did a six-month hand-over during which time I trained them in every aspect of the operation and then I walked away.Since then Lisa and I have sold our house, sold her zooty little BMW Z3 and are busy selling my Hyundai Tiburon.We are exiting all that.We have found our perfect piece of paradise in the mountains and we are in the process of buying it.As soon as my car sells, we’ll be be replacing it with a 4x4 pickup.We have cashed in all our investments and pulled ourselves out of all the fear based financial tools like insurance and retirement funds.These things are just not relevant to us anymore.We have pared down and simplified every aspect of our lives.The wallet-full of plastic in sharp metallic colours was taken back to the bank for shredding and accounts were closed.We now have one card and one bank account.We even have just one mobile phone between us.No store cards.No open contracts for anything with anyone.The load is light and we are free.
And so I am in strange place.My old life is over.It is behind me.All sorted out and tied off with a bow.And yet I am not dead.I am still here and very much more alive than I have ever been before.At age forty, I feel more vital and full of life than I have ever felt.I feel ready to begin again.I am ready to birth myself into a new life.But this time will be different.This birth will not start with me having to go through forgetting and physical birth and then learning how to be a human in a human society.Instead I will start knowing who I am and why I am here.I choose the stage setting to be the beauty and splendour of the Outeniqua Mountains.I choose to have the curtains go up with me and withmy angel-light lady-love and our dogs finding ourselves in a timber home on our land in the forest.I choose to have the main thrust of the plot of my story revolve around my journey Home.The quest to find my way back to the endless love and unspeakable bliss that calls to me from within my heart.Lisa and I briefly glimpsed it on that day but now I will find my way Home to permanent relationship with it.And when I find it next I know I will not just find a forest there.I will find all of Life there.And I will find You there too.
*If you want to read Lisa’s perspective on this mystical experience you can find her blog posting here.
In Part 3 of this series I will share with you the details of the life I am choosing to create and the spiritual significance of these new choices.You are invited to take a free membership of my website if you’d like to be updated on when new blog-posts are made. You will then also be able to leave comments on blog-posts.
Comment discussion - I'd really like to know if you have had a mystical experience of your own - and if so how this has changed your life. Something else I'd be keen to know is if you have given thought to the life you would create if you are "an eternal, immortal, creator being of infinite power" and if so, how that life might look. Please share with me these and any other thoughts that are appropriate by clicking on "comments" below.
