I have begun posting videos on MonkeySee.com: check it out!

Warning: Allowing effects to take on causal attributes can be hazardous to your mental state. Once you allow an effect to become the cause of your behavior or your feelings you have entered a closed system and there may then be no way out!

Not all advisors are the same so choose with caution. It will always come back to whether or not there's a place to get (back) to. The greatest show on earth wants you to stay put, your I/O wants your attention...

Time to rally, but to what? Get ready to admit that you don't (really) have a choice because you've already made your choice. So, it must be time to follow in the way appointed...

Maintaining the balance is a constant dance until you establish with complete certainty that there is indeed a ‘place’ to get to. Awareness of your other dimensions of consciousness and your ‘Other’ Original Beingness doesn’t fit in all that well with the current operating system and its program that seems to demand such allegiance. And yet, you, being human, need not suffer just because you invite the other, more-than-human aspects of your awareness into your earthly experience. However, inviting your Original Beingness is a whole different story.

Awakening the memory of your Original Self can be spoken of and alluded to, but as far as what the experience is, well, …

There is a call that is being heard by many of us even in the chaos – perhaps especially because of the chaos. It is tempting to accept that the answer to this call is in the mix that is to be found around you, but the answer cannot be seen with eyes entrained upon the trance figures gracing the screen of life. It takes another set of eyes, so to speak, to see what the call is showing. In other words, there simply must be another way to see.     

It may seem obvious that many/most on stage right now simply will not engage this ‘other way of seeing’ but I suspect that it is more that they simply do not know (or remember) and hence simply cannot. They would if they could, but they can’t so they don’t. And that’s because this ‘other way of seeing’ is not easily seen through eyes entrained upon a screen that, for so long, has not only produced the answer but has also claimed to be the reason for everything appearing. We’ve spoken before about the consequences of allowing an effect to become a cause – it produces a closed system. As long as the trance holds, there’s no way out baby!

Perhaps that is what is being played out in the political arena right now, some part of American Humanity is begging for a way out of a system gone awry so badly that they are begging for a correction. Others are befuddled at the very suggestion that any thing is wrong. The outside portrays (betrays?) the inside. Fear strikes at the prospect of yet another missed opportunity to awaken to our ways and return to the path. Outside reflects inside. Futility keeps many from even allowing themselves to show they care, but they do. The arrival of the voice that empowers the slumber-ridden ones to begin to see once again what could be is waiting for its moment. Once again, outside mirrors inside.

Is there a voice for you to hear? Is there a voice from within you that is waiting for its moment to be heard? Are you more than what your current human life seems to be availing to you? Does some part of you plead that it doesn’t have to be this way? Is there a place, a way of being and therefore seeing, that is calling out to you to be found? There is no other reason you would be reading this page right now if it were not so. As an agent of change, let it begin with you. Ask your Inner Other to show itself today and pat attention. There’s a change coming from within, and so it is…

Apparently fatigue along the way is quite common and it’s best to rest one’s weary mind in a safe place. When the ‘land-scape’ turns against you on your journey out of madness don’t try to do more than you’re capable of in that moment. Remembering that you are never alone – regardless of the surrounding population present or absent – finding yourself in times of trouble is the best of times to listen to that ‘other’ voice.

The voice is really only a signature of the inner presence and it is the presence, the awareness of your other, that has the power you may believe you lack as you face the sentinels in your landscape placed there to keep you put. You see, you must have opened the envelope containing the note with the three questions that almost all fellow sojourners have spoken of. Their form varied to best fit the circumstances of the individual’s life but they break down pretty much as follows:

1) Is there a place to get to?
2) Are you there?
3) Are you ready?

And so it began. There have been steps along the way where you have had to cultivate trust in this inner, invisible guide that may at times seem to go silent or even disappear completely, but eventually you realize that all that really happened was you leaving the presence to enter another shop in the mall of life. (That was mall, not maul…) Eventually you come to understand that this voice, this inner presence, is showing you another way to see yourself and seems to know you as a different entity than you believe your self to be.

Now you can stay in that shopping mall of consciousness, that monster Cineplex, for as long as you want, but eventually you will remember that there is indeed a place to get to and that where you are right now is not it. And with infinite patience your inner guidance mechanism picks right up on cue and accompanies you through the circumstances surrounding you in this world of wonder where the ‘wrap-around, surround-sound totally interactive theater-of-mind’ is presenting its latest headliners in the game show so affectionately known as The Truth of Consequences.

My guide uses music to get me to listen. Early on it was Dionne Warwick singing ‘take it easy on your self…’ then Peter Gabriel’s back-up team chanting ‘…don’t give up’ and even last night on the Showtime special on the boob-tube where Neil Young was telling me that it was okay, that my Inner/Other was ‘…still in love with me’ and wanted only to see me dance again. I know, crazy stuff, but as real as real can be for me.

Are you ready?

I am, by nature, a reductionist. Always looking for that least common denominator. Awake or dreaming it is the same. Can’t seem to help myself.

Past lives? Sure, I’ve had my share, but so what? I’m here now aren’t I? I do believe I am.

And that’s the bottom line you know. Believing. Here we can even believe in the unbelievable and low and behold! Like magic.

Nothing wrong with magic. No matter how grand it is though, it can’t replace your truth. Now that’s a fact.

Aren’t you hungry for your truth? Come on now, tell the truth. I mean, what else is there?

It only takes one of us to remember that truth and the entire stage lights up. Now that’s a show to behold. I remember the last time I was here and one remembered. Sweet Jesus, I remember. Heaven touched the earth, and those there that day who glimpsed what happened, well, they were never the same again. Oh no, they were awakened. I remember. And it changed everything.

Are you ready? It only takes one. And there’s no reason in the world that one cannot be you.

Oh my dear Awakened One, tell me what you see. Touch my heart, touch my soul and let me know. Let me know that it’s all right. Please tell me what I long to hear. After all, you promised to come back and find me. I’m ready.    

Musings of madness…
Ah, yes – the ‘working-out’ of my human life, that backlog of previously ordered packages from when I had no idea what I was thinking, never mind that all those thoughts would coagulate into packages that when delivered would be rather disagreeable. So what is it I am to trust? That I did not then know what was in my best interest? Can’t just keep moving in hopes that the packages won’t get delivered. Got to receive these ‘gifts’ and learn to see that the past is still trying to control my life. Like a bad habit now offering advice and guidance it’s time to find the way out of what was and reclaim what is to be!

Perhaps it’s the truth of consequences that is keeping a grip so tight upon my thinking mind that seems to make me unable to see differently. For if the law of selective perception is true, then can’t I see different packages or is it that I must see the current packages differently? Is that just a cop-out that all criminals feel as they hear the sentence being delivered? That final stroll down ‘dead-man-walking’ row as the consequences dance upon the skin being strapped into the chair soon to shed the final light of understanding…

Is it death I fear? Death of what? Is the change of mind, of perception, that I seek, so threatening that death itself is a preferred option? Should I not just plead my case and beg to be re-instated into the safety of the mind-held-in-common’s dream of projective perception? Is it too late? Have I strayed too far? Can I go back to what was? Is there another way to be?

If this is the dream of self-awakening, you can have it. Choices produce consequences; consequences are inevitable. To break that chain would violate the … wait a minute; whose thoughts are these anyway? Exactly what is my power in the face of this gathering evidence? Have I simply over-identified with my current thought-in-manifestation? The weight of this seriousness is too much and I cannot hear my 'other' tell me what’s real because I seem to be insisting this is real! Kind of begs the next question: what is real?  

Oh my; I’m afraid to see that I’ve chosen a world of experience that some ‘other’ part of me absolutely, positively knows is not ‘real’ – I must be losing my mind. Or, I’ve lost my mind. Or perhaps I’ve found another piece of that which I left in lost memory and I am now calling it back. Yes, that seems right, now I remember, this is where I found myself after chasing that thought, that idea, that….

Suddenly I’m awake in my bed. But am I really awake? Is that the sound of Ender Dog coming to tell me it’s time to go – out, for a walk? What will I find today? Ah, today – time traveling again! Hope I find some happy moments…

It is the meaning that you have (already) chosen that you are now seeing, now experiencing. And yet within this moment, within this experience, you can become an Agent of Change. Accept this invitation to become an Agent of Change...

Perhaps a better way of describing this idea of ‘dreaming myself awake’ is to speak of it in terms of regaining my knowing mind. Early this morning I was partially awakened and told that ‘it is done’ and now I needed to trust the working-out of my human life. Remembering that a couple of hours later I sat with it as an awareness, and a presence engulfed me with an empathic familiarity that suspended me in a warm, flowing connectedness that left me temporarily without need.

As if I was in the original sensory-deprivation float tank where my breathing was as loud as the movement of my eyeballs in their sockets, I ‘knew’ I was at once both the thinker of the thought about to be experienced and the front row participant/recipient of said experience. In other words the thought could not be completed (or in this case experienced) without me, the part I know so well in this world, the part I had come to believe was who I was, as if there was a separation between the two. But how can the two be separated when they only exist together? Cause and effect only exist when both are in relationship. One defines the other.

Maybe it was the electrocution that scrambled my brain that day in the tree when I reached through the veil and pulled upon the Other One I Am or maybe that was the moment that ordinarily is saved for the end of life, but regardless, today I was back in that flow and it was as if I had never left. And now, from this place I have found once again, I don’t want or need to return to where I believed myself to have been just a few thoughts ago!

Having already experienced that, now I choose to return into a different expression of that experience. Is this going to be possible? Can I return into a different expression? Can I actually choose where to find myself? Will I return to where I was in an effort to tell anyone else there what I just found? Will there be anyone else there? Is there anyone there?

I think I am remembering who I am…

Nov 12, 2007 I’ve decided to dream myself awake. After all, that’s what I’ve been talking about for all these years. It certainly has taken me a long time – or so it seems – to get here, but if I’m going to dream a dream why not have it be a dream of awakening?

All the pieces are now being arranged in a way that finally feels right to me. Like everything else in this world of wonder, it was (is) only a matter of time. And I have been working on manipulating time for quite a while now. Perhaps more than anything else it’s about selective perception and the correct use of denial. It’s so funny that denial – something vilified by a limited mind – has actually been the cause and effect of my world. By selectively choosing what to empower with meaning I have simultaneously been denying meaning to other options.

I’ve always somehow known that just because I couldn’t find what I wanted now in no way meant it wasn’t there to be found. And even though frustration led me down that one-way dead end street called futility, I still ‘knew’ that what I wanted was there to be claimed, just temporarily invisible. The same power of selective perception was now over-riding my current desire. Denial seemed stronger than my current ability to see what I wanted now. Time to hit the re-set button.

So now I’ve decided to dream myself awake. I figure that by remembering more and more of who I am I can arrange those pieces into the me I’ve been waiting to be. And it all begins with realizing that I have been allowing the events to appear by selecting them above other events that could just as easily have been seen. It’s all about the meaning. Everything is about the meaning I have been looking to give to the events appearing so I could find the meaning I had chosen to give. And somehow, somewhere, I knew it wasn’t what I wanted to tell with my life. I have been telling a story that absolutely in not the story I now wish to tell.

I think I had forgotten who I was.

Regardless of the current form of the distrsctions parading on your screen of life, calling upon the memory of your Original Intention is very important...

If it is the meaning we give to any event that holds the key, and if that meaning is a choice, who decides what that meaning will be? Is there an Inner Decision-Maker that can choose for me?

If everything arriving in your life is by invitation only, what am I missing?

By using your life as a projective technique to glimpse your thoughts and core beliefs you begin to understand who is responsible for what's appearing.

When I speak of intuition this is what I mean...

Time for a little more background...

Here's a peek at that day when I reached for the Heavens at age 15 and got thrown back to Earth forever changed...

Thought it might help to provide a little info on me. Let me start with the Foreward from our book Letters From Adam...

There is a way to access that 'other' view-point and witness this world as an observer as well as an agent of change. Three simple words fully understood and accepted as truth..."This Changes Nothing." Inviting the awareness of The Awakened One (T.A.O.) you travel with within your mind shows us once again that indeed it is true: The Answer Lies Within!
