If so, you’re not alone, as the quest for a better energy existence has been the focus of many ingenious inventors, scientists, experimenters and even corporate and government scientists for generations.We know it’s possible, but for some reason, though, society just can’t seem to get b [...]

Alex Pietrowski, Staff WriterCorruption in the medical industry can no longer be ignored.

Qualities of the New Earth
Hello you beautiful beings, and friends, members of the Family of Light.
I c...
...or am I just going crazy again?
This afternoon at fitness, the weirdest thing happened: a few weeks ago I'd used a locker that had the highly synchronistic number 42. You know, the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm quite sure it was in the top row, because the bottom row is entirely too low for my six foot six!
Today my wallet was extra heavy due to having to pay for the girls' new chihuahuas tomorrow, so I opted for a locker again. Dove into the same general area, only to find that the top row held just the ODD numbers, and number 42 was now in the bottom row. When told, the lady at the bar kept telling me I must have erred in my memories. To her at least it was an open and shut case. Good for her, but that doesn't solve the conundrum for me: I absolutely remember having had locker 42 at the top level a few weeks back, especially because of the significance of that number for me, and my absolute dislike of lockers in the lower row.
We can safely assume nobody has messed with the numbers just to fool me, so what, according to Occam's Razor, is the simplest explanation to this?
Love your parallelity,
Dré
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?
For
myself, I started by looking around me
at the life I was living and realised that THIS was not the life I
wanted to create.It was possibly the best life I could put
together if I was the victim of things like economics and other
people’s expectations of me.And if I feared being “out of
work” then I probably had to be grateful for what I had.After
all, I earned a pretty good salary and did work that I at least
partially enjoyed.But there was much there that was wrong
for me.For one thing I really disliked the number of lies,
manipulations and distortions that I had to perpetrate every day as a
part of “business as usual”.It seems it is well nigh
impossible to engage in the world of business and be really honest,
integral and forthright.If I told clients the whole truth
they would have taken their money elsewhere to someone else that would
tell them the sweet little lies they wanted to hear.If I
told my employees the whole truth they would have mutinied and at the
very least demanded more money.If I told those that I
reported to the whole truth… well… that would have been a strange sight.Certainly my business would not have continued to function for
very much longer.I mean can you imagine telling your boss
the whole truth of exactly what you think? 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.

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt: "The Internet Will Disappear"
Excerpt from hollywoodreporter.com
Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt on Thursday predicted the end of the Internet as we know it.
At the end of a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where his comments were webcast, he was asked for his prediction on the future of the web. “I will answer very simply that the Internet will disappear,” Schmidt said.
“There will be so many IP addresses…so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won’t even sense it,” he explained. “It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room.”
Concluded Schmidt: “A highly personalized, highly interactive and very, very interesting world emerges.”
The panel, entitled The Future of the Digital Economy, also featured Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and others.
Earlier in the debate, Schmidt discussed the issue of market dominance. The European Union has been looking at Google’s search market dominance in a long-running antitrust case, and the European parliament late last year even called for a breakup.
Asked about his recent trip to North Korea, Schmidt said the country has many Internet connections through data phones, but there is no roaming and web usage is “heavily supervised.” Schmidt said “it’s very much surveillance of use,” which he said was not good for the country and others.
Sandberg and Schmidt lauded the Internet as an important way to give more people in the world a voice. Currently, only 40 percent of people have Internet access, the Facebook COO said, adding that any growth in reach helps extend people’s voice and increase economic opportunity. “I’m a huge optimist,” she said about her outlook for the industry. “Imagine what we can do” once the world gets to 50 percent, 60 percent and more in terms of Internet penetration.
Schmidt similarly said that broadband can address governance issues, information needs, personal issues, women empowerment needs and education issues. “The Internet is the greatest empowerment of citizens … in many years,” he said. “Suddenly citizens have a voice, they can be heard.”
During another technology panel at the World Economic Forum on Thursday, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries and others answered questions on the need to regulate privacy standards on the Internet and for tech companies following the Snowden case, the Sony hack and the like.
Mayer said that the personalized Internet “is a better Internet,” emphasizing: “We don’t sell your personal data … We don’t transfer your personal data to third parties.” She said users own their data and need to have control, adding that people give up data to the government for tax assessment, social services and other purposes.
Both executives said transparency was important to make sure users know privacy standards and the like.
Gunther Oettinger, a conservative German politician serving as the European Union’s commissioner for digital economy and society, said on the panel that “we need a convincing global understanding, we need a UN agency for data protection and security.” Asked what form that “understanding” should have, he said he was looking for “clear, pragmatic, market-based regulation.” Explained Oettinger: “It’s a public-private partnership.”
Fries said such a solution was likely not to happen in the near term, given the size of the EU. “I think it is going to take several years,” he said, adding that some countries’ parliaments would likely take a stab at it.
But he warned that a joint solution would make more sense. “We don’t want Germany to have its own Internet,” Fries said. “Some countries may build their own Internets” and “balkanize” the web, he warned.
Mayer said on the issue of regulation: “I like Tim’s idea better of the beneficent marketplace.” She spoke of fellow panelist and computer specialist Tim Berners-Lee, known as the inventor of the World Wide Web.
Asked how Yahoo stores and handles client records, she said the online giant “changed the way we store and communicate data” after Snowden and also changed encryptions between data centers. And the company protects users through encryption methods, she added. Mayer said that trust and confidence of Yahoo users has rebounded since.
Mayer was also asked what happens if a government asks for a user’s data, a question that has new significance after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, which have led some to call for increased surveillance powers of the Internet for governments. Mayer said Yahoo always assesses if such a request is reasonable. “We have a very good track record for standing up to what’s not reasonable,” she said.
