"(I Wanna) Taste Your Smile"

2010-09-01T02:31:00.000-07:00

Ok, time to put myself REALLY out there (eek!)... I recorded this on my webcam on the weekend and thought I'd share it with all of you - it's an original composition of mine called "(I Wanna) Taste Your Smile". It's only a small portion of the song (& a rough cut at that - so please don't be too harsh...ha ha). Hope you all like it.

Here are the lyrics that I actually sing in the clip...

"(I Wanna) Taste Your Smile"

I've been burnt, so many times with "I Love You's",
found in a supermarket on a price check from aisle one-nine.
I was feeling different but wanting the same,
getting tired of this little game.
Then You stayed behind and everything changed.

If I'd known all along You felt the same,
I still wouldn't have seen this place I stand in today...

I'm looking for myself in your eyes,
I'm looking for a way to disguise,
I wanna breathe in and taste your smile.
Take me where it's peachy keen,
Take me where I've never been,
I wanna breathe in and taste your smile.

I lose a part, every time I smile, but I can't get off,
strapped into the addiction of this third-dimensional fairground ride.
I am counting, each and every day,
I thought I could do this whole thing alone,
Well you always do when it's all you've ever known.

If I'd known all along You felt the same,
I still wouldn't have seen this place I stand in today...

I'm looking for myself in your eyes,
I'm looking for a way to disguise,
I wanna breathe in and taste your smile.
Take me where it's peachy keen,
Take me where I've never been,
I wanna breathe in and taste your smile.

Halo ONE'in'All,

Over the last two months, I've been shooting and compiling what I AM now calling 'The Yang Collection'. I'm calling this series of 37 pictures - 'Yang' because in the past, many of the photos taken of me have been quite 'girly' (Yin-like). It's been a lot of fun and I've learnt a lot about composition, how to manipulate light'n'shadow and had a blast playing with colour & contrast. I've also met a part of my Self I always knew was there but have only recently...let out to play.

In-Joy : I AM

Blessed Be,

Have a Magical Mabon!

2010-03-15T16:36:00.000-07:00

~~~

Whilst our kin 'up-top' will we celebrating Ostara (and the rest of the Christian world will be celebrating 'Easter' - which is derived from Ostara/Ēostre - a time of eggs & bunnies...symbolizing abundance & fertility; Seeds & eggs representing new life & fresh beginnings - the waking up after a dark Winter)....we Witches here in OZ will be honouring & celebrating the Autumn Equinox : Mabon. So, to all my fellow brethren 'down-under', I wish everyone a marvelous & magickal Mabon!

Mabon - {Autumn Equinox} : March 20th/21st - 2010 (Southern Hemisphere)/September 23rd (Northern Hemisphere).

The 2nd of the harvest festivals, this is the second time of the year to specifically commune with nature. The earlier festival at the Summer Solstice looks toward the summer or warm portions of nature, whereas the autumn equinox focuses on the cooler aspects.

This festival is represented by the harvest of corn, along with the other products in your garden that are ready to be harvested. To celebrate Mabon, corn and corn bread are served, along with cider and sweet potatoes (yams). Don't forget to harvest the last of your herbs and other plants that will need to dry for winter use.

This festival is represented by brown, orange, gold and red. Candles in the festival colours can be placed around your table and altar to ring in the season and celebrate the bounty of the harvest. River and stream stones can also be included into your festival and energized for a variety of magickal purposes.

Mabon (Autumn Equinox) is a Minor Sabbat, and is coming up this weekend (March 20-23 in the Southern Hemisphere/Sept. 20-23 for the Northern Hemisphere). This year (2010), it falls on March the 21st for us southern folk.

Mabon is the second harvest as the rest of the grain is stored for Winter. This is the day of the year when the God of Light is defeated by his twin and alter ego, the God of Darkness (his Shadow side). The autumnal equinox is the only time in the year when Light is vulnerable and it is possible to defeat him. The Sun God/King then descends to the Underworld as The Shadow grows in strength from this day onwards (hence the approach of Winter). The Goddess/Queen becomes the all-wise, all-knowing Crone - preparing to farewell the God/King even as she feels him burning inside her. It is a time of deep introspection. The Goddess, adopting her Crone aspect - honours & understands full well, the everlasting cycle of Birth/Death/& Rebirth. Though she mourns her God...his Eternal Light shines as a knowing twinkle in her eye.

Faces may change, seasons may come & go, cycles will always play out - but one thing always remains the same...that knowing spark within each & every one of us that warms like a flame & shines like a star.

Love your Light,
Love your Shadow,
Love the All,
Love the ONE...

Day and night are equal but Darkness is on the ascendant. Mabon acknowledges balance - the day is as long as the night. It is a time to study the harvests of your life, to look back over the year and acknowledge where the seeds of ideas and plans you had sown have now yielded results. It is a time to contemplate success and the returns for hard work done. It is also a time of letting go, of inner work and a time to ponder things of a spiritual nature and renew magickal commitments - a time to reflect; a time of renewal of vows and of initiations. Mabon is a time to honour the elders and gain wisdom by connecting with the energy of the Crone and the Shadow God.

Life's greatest mystery - Death, is faced and comprehended here.

Imagery : Autumn leaves; gold cloth (for altar covering); brown or orange candles; storable foods like nuts, dried fruits & herbs; barley, corn or rice; whiskey; books for study; & dark clothing to aid in introspection and the contemplation of hidden mysteries.

Also : Rosemary; borage; vegetables like squash or sweet potato; plants you have nurtured from seeds in the previous year.

Suggested invocation :

"Goddess of the Night and God of the Shadows,
witness and bless my rite of thanksgiving;
in the face of your great wisdom I understand that for life to be given, it has to be taken away.
On this night I renew my commitment to honour the earth and to understand Her cycles of life/death and rebirth."

Recognize that you have sown, nurtured, and have achieved a good harvest - freeing you to now contemplate the restful and renewing silence of the Underworld/Great Void. Allow all plans, expectations and sense of ego to fall and float away peacefully, safe in the arms of the Implicate Order (The Infinite/Eternal No-Thing).

It is a time to focus on the Crone, who, in the autumn of her life, has experienced many harvests and knows that for new beginnings and life there must also be endings and death. In patriarchal society, it is the Crone, the wise old woman, who is often vilified most, when in fact, of the three faces of the Goddess (Maiden/Mother/Crone), it is she who should be honoured most as the Keeper of the Secrets of Life & Death.

When you are in touch with Crone energy and are resonating with her deep, knowing presence, take a pen (or a keyboard!) and write down your future plans...

"Wise and honoured Crone, Grand Mother of All,
I ask you to acknowledge and bless my plans.
Guide me with your wisdom.
So Mote It Be."

Lammas Blessings!

2010-02-03T04:22:00.000-08:00

Happy Lammas Blessings to ONE'in'All in the Southern Hemisphere!

Lammas or Lughnasadh (loo'na sah) is one of the four Greater Sabbats - heralding the start of Autumn on February 1st/2nd (for the Southern Hemisphere...or August 1st - Northern Hemisphere). Its also known as the First Harvest Festival or First Fruits. Lammas means 'Loaf Mass', and the Celtic version of the festival name is Lughnasadh.

This was traditionally the first day on which loaves of bread were baked from the first grain harvest and left on altars as offerings. It's a time of thanksgiving for a successful harvest, and honouring the fertility of the Goddess & God. It's also the traditional time of year for engagement parties.

It's a time of joy & abundance. The sun, while waning, still shines strong and the land glows with much fullness. Lammas is the first but not the last harvest, and the lesson of Lammas is peace & patience in the face of uncertain outcomes.

The corresponding Celtic festival, Lughnasadh, is celebrated in honour of the Sun God. It is the beginning of the harvest season and begins when the early plantings are ready to be picked. The spring grains, early fruits and vegetables are picked as part of this ritual.

Bread is baked for this holiday, as well as, a bounty of fruits and garden vegetables. Set your altar accordingly with your favourite harvest, in a circle on a platter of your choice. Prepare your home for Autumn. Use this wonderful energy to harvest your magickal herbs and empower them as part of your ritual.

Symbolism:

*The womb of the Goddess pours forth the bounty of nature for humans to enjoy and store for the winter ahead.

*The Mother Goddess gives birth to the child conceived at Beltane - the Child/God of Darkness.

*The fruits of labour are celebrated & enjoyed - a time to look back & celebrate successes & achievements of the past year.

*Seeds are gathered - ensuring new and an enduring life.

Imagery:

*Corn & wheat; a large scythe (to symbolize the harvest); daisies for joy & success; grapes for opulence; loaves of bread to represent new creations formed from raw material and ideas & labour.

Suggested Ritual:

The aim of this invocation is to recognize your achievements but also to focus on patience - knowing that some things need to go through a few cycles of life/death/rebirth for them to reach their culmination. The nature of life is multifaceted so, when something seems to be fading or over, it can be gaining steam in another realm or dimension.

This first part is for the morning (you can surround yourself with orange or yellow candles for this...)

"Goddess & God of All,
witness & bless my rite of thanksgiving;
I rejoice in what is and what is not,
what is given & what is taken away;
as the tides of life ebb & flow,
I drift peaceful in the knowledge that all things are as they should be."

At sunset, have a gathering with like-spirited friends and have a major feast! Enjoy loaves of multi-grain breads, muffins & oatcakes, with lots of fresh fruit, grapes, apples, oranges, berries, pears and vegetables, like corn, which are ripe for the season. Drink plenty of cider, ale, grape juice or wine! Before it gets too raucous however, give thanks for abundance by having everyone stand in a circle holding some bread and cider. Intone:

"Goddess of the Moon & God of the Sun,
as we enjoy this, the first harvest,
we give thanks for your eternally renewing bounty and we commit ourselves to preserving the fertility of Gaia ~ Mother Earth.
So Mote It Be...So Blessed Be...
One and All."

Have everyone crumble some of the bread and pour some of the cider onto the ground as an offering and say, "Thanks be to Mother God/dess Earth."

Spend the rest of the night sharing your experiences of the last year - lessons learnt and things fulfilled & unfulfilled - and learn from others' tales.

Us modern, city folk may not actually be physically out in the fields harvesting our crops but from a purely symbolic point of view, we're still essentially reaping that which we sow - we still 'harvest' that now-ripe fruit which we planted as mere seeds several moons ago, and which we nurtured, nourished and helped to grow. We were there at the planting, as we are there to witness the blooming. And we get back what we put in. It may only be a metaphor...but it's a highly profound one. And it has the dual purpose of getting us attuned again to the natural cycles of our planet - something I feel a large portion of the population has lost. When you're in tune with yOUR EARTH...you're in tune with YOUr HEART (notice the anagram?)

Other Things To Do For Lammas:

*After sunset, light a bonfire while observing all fire restrictions for your area. Dance and have a crazy fun time around the fire. As the mood mellows, begin telling stories around the fire about all the wonderfully profound & interesting things you did during Summer. Stay and watch the sunrise if you can.

*Have competitions of skill & fun against yourself or other friends. What challenges you give yourself and your friends is up to you. The greater your challenge & success, the greater your blessing but remember to be safe & sensible.

*It's also the traditional time of year for craft festivals.

Earth’s cross-quarter Seasonal Moment of Early Autumn – named Lammas, is actually (in Australia) on the 4th of February this year [2010] (Sun 15 Degrees Aquarius - when the Sun is 15 degrees into any fixed sign of the zodiac, it indicates the exact astrological times of the Greater Sabbats...Note - exact times shift every year), though many will celebrate it on the traditional date of 1st/2nd February, and some at a time when the season feels right, and some when it can be fitted into tick-tock time – and many variations in between. It is the midpoint between the Solstice and the Equinox, and is a cross-quarter day occurring 1/4 of a year after Beltane. Tradition places the cross-quarters at February 2, May 1, August 1 and October 31. These are fairly convenient dates to use because each falls near the beginning or end of the month and they mostly correspond with major holiday celebrations held at those times by the general (nonpagan) population. It only makes sense to continue using these traditional dates and let the collective energy of everyone around us boost the intensity of our sabbat rites.

But in terms of why February 1st or 2nd...The 2nd is the traditional date of Lammas in the Southern Hemisphere while many just rotate the calendar by 180 degrees thus giving us the date of February 1st (exactly six months opposite the Northern Hemisphere's Lammas which falls on August the 1st...) On which date you choose to celebrate it is purely up to you and whenever you feel it's right to do so.

More Info:

The Sabbat Lughnasadh, known also as Lammas, is named for Lugh - Celtic God of light and fire, and marks the decline of summer and first harvest of the grain. The Sun's strength wanes, and the plants of spring now start to wither and drop their fruits or seeds for our use, as well as to ensure future crops. As legend tells, John Barleycorn or the God of Grain, sacrificed himself to ensure there would be enough food throughout the winter. Here we give thanks for the abundance of summer's bounty, at the very time we feel an urgency to prepare for the hard months ahead.

Falling midway between Summer Solstice and Autumnal Equinox is the cross-quarter holiday of Lughnasadh, which is the first in the trilogy of harvest festivals, Lughnasadh, Mabon and finally Samhain. It is at the time of Lughnasadh when the days suddenly seem to shorten and the nights grow longer. At Lughnasadh, the Wheel of the Year begins to shift from growing time to harvest time. The subtle changes of the waning sun that occurred at Summer Solstice becomes more evident as the balance of day and night seem to shift more dramatically. The slight seasonal changes in weather, and the declining arc of the sun, the southern movement of it rising and setting are other indicators of this shift.

Although temperatures can still be high, the mood and sensation of the year most decidedly changes. We enter the harvest time. It is the point in time when the first grains are collected and ritualistically sacrificed to ensure the continuance of the cycle of life both physically and spiritually.

*When the Northern Hemisphere observes Lughnasadh, many in the Southern Hemisphere are experiencing Imbolc.

Lammas In Australia:

The Sun God begins to grow old. The first grains are harvested, and everything that was growing, stops. This is the February cross-quarter, Lughnasadh. It is one of the hottest months and a time of bushfires, as celebrated in Colin Thiel’s book "February Dragon".

Much festivity is coincident with southern Lughnasadh in Australia, with Australia Day being marked on January 26 (with the holiday usually celebrated on January 28th). On this day in 1788, Europeans, including many an unhappy Celtic convicts, first came ashore to establish the colony of New South Wales, and is seen as antecedent to the formation of Australia as a nation in the modern Western world. Today, Australia Day sees a wide range of festivities including cultural celebrations of indigenous Australians and the many immigrant cultures, including the Celts, in what is now multi-cultural Australia.

This is the season of the waxing Dark...

LAMMAS.

The feast of the Old One – who Creates the Space to Be,

She who returns us to All-That-Is.

The Darkness born in the peak of Summer Solstice now grows.

This is the time of celebrating dissolution, into the Great Sentience, Larger Self, to whom we belong.

We meet to accept the embrace

of the Dark Compassionate One,

to be midwifed;

by She who is the Transformation-of-the-Ages.

"Once In A Blue Moon"

Only once in every 20 years, the Blue Moon appears on New Year’s Eve, as it will this year. On a physical level what is happening is that the moon is out of phase with the days. For it to make its complete cycle, it’s about 29.5 days. It doesn’t coincide with our month, and that’s why it is out of sync with our Julian calendar. It’s the occurrence of two full moons in one month, which happens every two years, hence the popular quotation “Once in a Blue Moon” which means ‘not very often.’ On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.

On December 31st, 2009, we have a Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse.

On a spiritual level, it is as if it asks us to ‘flash forward’ into the next two years to see what we can see. This is the most important New Year's Eve we have ever been gifted in a long time. No matter how much you do not believe prophecy from time and earth, it will still affect your energy field and your choices.

This December 31st, 2009 Partial Lunar Eclipse is numerically a 7/11 (#9) vibration : Cosmic and personal completion! Entering the next level of love, of heart, of soul and service to the planetary evolution through healing Self. Free-falling from the height of the nine into the next level of Light. Entry and exits all in the same breath. A quantum leap into unknown gifts comes through the nine. Are You ready to see and be more than you are at this minute of time? Nine is the photo finish on the heavenly line of multiple choices. If you believe you have won, you have. Your New Year's resolutions on 12/31/2009 will be more powerful than a super nova. Their vibration will surpass space and time and land at the feet of the whole & infinite YOUniverse.

A Lovely Litha to ONE'in'All

2010-01-06T03:37:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, I'm a little behind with this one but...

Happy Summer Solstice
And a Lovely Litha to you all!

Last December the 22nd (2009) was the Solar (Lesser) Sabbat - The Summer Solstice (for those of us in the southern hemisphere) - an astronomical festival marking the longest day of the year when the bounties and beauty of the Earth and Goddess in full blossom are honoured & celebrated. Everything is lush, full and ripe.

Also known as Litha - it is another fire festival with large bonfires lit after sundown to provide light to the revellers and for the purpose of warding off mischievous faerie folk (note - please light fires responsibly and seek alternate light sources on Total Fire Ban days). Midsummer's Eve represented the apex of the God's life.

It is the day when the creative powers of the Goddess & God are at their peak. The Goddess is Mother and ripe as the baby conceived on Beltane grows within her, but from this day on the Sun God will weaken as the days grown shorter, and the waning year commences its slow descent into Winter.

The two symbols of this holy day are the spear, the symbol of the Sun God in his glory, and the cauldron, the symbol of the Goddess in her bounty, swapping the words of the Great Rite for, "As the spear is to the male, so the cauldron is to the female."

Things To Do for Litha:

*After sundown on Midsummer's Eve, the night before Litha, be on the look out for faeries. They will appear to the uninformed as fireflies or sunset dust.

*Decorate your altar with gold cloth, gold candles, gardenias and poinsettias. Use lots of sun and personal power imagery - images of full pregnancy, big oak branches, cherries, plums, apricots and passionfruit. Light a fire in your cauldron and throw in handfuls of lavender.

*Wreath-making is traditional to celebrate the spirit of summer. You can use a long summer vine of jasmine, honeysuckle, a wild native ivy, etc.

*Deck the front door with birch, fennel, St. John's wort, orpin and white lillies. These five plants are thought to have special magickal properties on this night.

*Celebrate under the noonday sun absorbing its warmth and life-giving powers to store for the waning half of the year. Have a feast of everything that is in season and if it is appropriate and possible, catch your own fish and cook it.

*Staying up throughout the shortest night of the year is also popular. Keeping watch in the centre of a circle of standing stones is meant to give you the inspiration and talent of a great poet or bard.

Other qualities:

*There is blood spilt as the dark challenger fights the Sun God/King. As in menstruation, the spilling of blood represents the presence of life.

*Personal power peaks but everything is cyclical and as personal power peaks, so must it recede to peak again. Just as the sun rises, it must also set.

*The seed planted in the womb of the Virgin/Mother/Crone (Triple Goddess) at Beltane grows and she is flush with the power and beauty of motherhood.

Invocation suggestion:

"Great Horned God - Father, Lover & Son...In this moment I honour your divine creative essence more than I ever have before. As the Wheel turns, year by year I am constantly renewed by your eternal vigour and passion. I honour your wisdom and am blessed in your teachings; I understand the eternal cycles of Life.

Great Mother Goddess, all of nature vibrates now with the potent presence of your Life essence. In this time of your ripening, I focus on all things I am undertaking. On this day I fuel them with your power and glory.

So Mote It Be."

Blessed Be ONE'in'All,

Beltane Blessings!

2009-10-29T03:49:00.000-07:00

Beltane Blessings ONE'in'All!

Last night (from sundown) 'till today (October 31st/November 1st) is Beltane (for the southern hemisphere ~ Samhain or 'Halloween' for the northern hemisphere).

Beltane is one of the four Greater Sabbats and an agricultural festival - and one of the most festive! It is a celebration of the union between the Goddess and the God (without & within), and procreation, and Life in general. A time for lovers to celebrate. Many 'handfastings' (Pagan 'marriages') are performed on this day.

The Great Rite is the sacred marriage & union of the Virgin (The Triple Goddess in her Virgin/Maiden aspect) and the Son/Sun God. 'Tis a time for Spirit to delight in the physical. Sex is a sacred, creative fuel that can propel all desires to manifest in Life. All things are possible. It's all about Love, Love, Love. It truly is all around...

Beltane symbolism/ideas : Celebration; abundance; Bright, coloured flowers; Maypole ribbons (very northern hemisphere I know but its symbolism still applies); red & white - blood & sperm; strawberries & other luscious, red foods; bananas & mangos; lace & beads; head garlands of woven willow branches & flowers. Also - outdoor feasting & bonfires to light the proceedings.

A celebration of Life, Love and the sacred YOUnion of the Goddess & God within us all.

~~~

"Great Goddess of the Moon & God of the Sun,
Tonight we celebrate our Divinity.
As born from the passion of your mighty union,
To live for all Eternity.

In Perfect Love & Perfect Trust,
We blessed be this sacred night.
The ONE as many & All as ONE,
Creating forth a magickal life."

~~~

*Our northern brothers & sisters alternatively will be celebrating the darker Samhain (or Halloween) - a time to honour our ancestors & those who have passed over. The veils are at their most thinnest at this time - hence all the archetypal subconscious energies and modern cliches coming to the fore and out into the night (ie: vampires, grotesque witches with warts'n'all, ghosts & goblins etc.) As our planet is increasingly becoming a global village of ONEness though, we could make it a part of our celebration to also acknowledge this shadow aspect of the light, bright fertility celebration that is Beltane.

Also called Lá Bealtaine, Bealltainn, Beltain, Beltaine...Beltane was/is observed by Gaels, Irish People, Scottish People, Pagans & Wiccans. Date for the Northern Hemisphere: May 1. For Southern Hemisphere: November 1.

Beltane is an ancient Gaelic holiday celebrated at the start of Summer. Historically, this festival was celebrated in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. There were similar festivals held at the same time in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany and Cornwall. The festival survives in folkloric practices in the Celtic Nations and the diaspora, and has experienced a degree of revival in recent decades in various countries all over the world.

As it's a seasonal celebration - wherever you are in the world, Beltane represents & symbolises the traditional first day of summer (hence the date change depending on where you are in the world).

Beltane is a cross-quarter day, marking the midpoint in the Sun's progress between the vernal equinox and summer solstice. Since the Celtic year was based on both lunar and solar cycles, it is possible that the holiday was celebrated on the full moon nearest the midpoint between the vernal equinox and the summer solstice. So anytime between last Friday night (Full Moon) and this Thursday would be appropriate to celebrate Beltane. The lighting of bonfires on 'the eve of Beltane' on mountains and hills of ritual was one of the main activities of the festival.

As far as I know too, Fertility Rites & many Handfastings are traditionally carried out (here in Australia) anytime between sunset October 31st and sunrise November 1st.
But there's no hard'n'fast rule that states you can only perform the fertility rite at that exact time. Methinks that any time around this time would still be 'energised'. Physically - you don't need to have the exact time right...as long as your INTENTION is aligned with the vibration of Beltane...then, well, you're there!

My coven & I will be performing fire-dancing ceremonies : celebrating fertility (Earth's blossoming), new Life, growth, fruitfulness & abundance (there may even be some nookie in the bushes!).

Beltane means 'bel-fire' or 'the fire of the Celtic god of light', Bel, Beli, Belinus or the Middle Eastern god Baal.

A Major Sabbat, Beltane signifies the beginning of Summer.

Mythology : Beltane is, in principle, a time of unashamed human sexuality and joy. Handfastings (weddings) and fertility rites are frequently held on or around Beltane - the most important Sabbat after Samhain.

Its primary focus is not a fertility celebration, rather, it is a celebration of joy & life.

Named for the Celtic fire god, Bel, the light god takes over rulership from the dark god (of Winter). The lighting of fires have healing properties, and (sometimes) skyclad craft practitioners jump through the bonfire flames.

(I guess the May Pole should really be renamed the 'November Pole' for us...as our Beltane falls on Oct. 31st/Nov. 1st)

Other Beltane customs include: morris dances; maypoles; beating the boundaries around your property or house and repairing fences and gates; young girls bathing their faces in the dew of Beltane morning to retain beauty and youth; archery tournaments; sword dances; feasting; music & drinking.

Then of course, there are the greenwood marriages of couples who will spend the entire night making love in the forest until they greet the new summer sunrise. They will return with garlands of flowers to decorate their homes. The dew on Beltane morning was supposed to have extreme rejuvenation properties.

Things to do for Beltane:

*Find out if there are any firework displays happening in your locality. Bellunus is the god of fire and fireworks celebrate him.

*(Carefully) make a bonfire on a beach with someone you desire. Take some mead or some damiana tequila along with you, and you will end up spending the night making your own fireworks!

*Beltane is about igniting love & sexual passion. Make sure that you have an explosive ritual to perform for the three days leading up to this Sabbat.

*The dew on the grass on Beltane morning has alwyas been the witch's beauty secret to a glowing 'dewy' complexion, to make blemishes vanish and to help retain velvety youth.

~~~

"The Fair Witch Mirror Spell"

To supercharge this spell, recite the following invocation in front of a mirror for three days. It must be repeated three times, three times a day for three days.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?
I clear my gaze, I seek to see,
The beauty that resides in me.

Make it shine and make it bright,
Like a beacon in the night.
Clear for me and all to see,
The love and beauty that is me.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?
Clear for me and all to see,
Eternal beauty lives in me."

As I do...So Mote It Be.

Blessed Be ONE'in'All & have a great Beltane celebration!

Blessed Ostara!

2009-09-23T01:09:00.000-07:00

Blessed Ostara ONE'in'All!

Today (Wednesday), September 23rd, 2009 (for the Southern Hemisphere) is Ostara: A lesser Sabbat, and an astronomical festival (the Spring Equinox) - where night and day (Light & Dark) stand equal - a time of balance & harmony. It is a time of initiation into male mysteries and celebration as Spring is underway and the land & life is waking up everywhere. Plants & animals are being born. The Earth has recovered from Winter and is in full bloom. Eggs & bunnies symbolise this abundant & fertile state; Seeds & eggs represent new life.

The Goddess as Virgin instructs the Young (horny) God of his burgeoning powers as new life springs from the earth. The Sun God is initiated into the mysteries of his sexuality, powers & abilities. Fertility is honoured and what was set in motion during Imbolc gains momentum at this time.

Rituals preferable outside during the daytime. A time to acknowledge the Sun God - The Male in all things is recognised & celebrated. Imagery : 'male' things/masculine energy. Eat seeds and scatter some on the ground as a libation. Lay on the earth and feel life coursing through you; feel your body awaken fully to the regenerative powers around you and within your body & spirit. Then go for a walk smelling newly blossoming flowers & delighting in all the fresh, green growing things. Celebrate all that is great about being alive.

At this time (Ostara), the Virgin/Maiden and the Sun King become innocently aware of each other. Their eyes meet across the dancefloor but they will not dance together until Beltane.

Imbolc Blessings!

2009-08-04T01:48:00.000-07:00

Merry Meet ONE'in'All!

Imbolc (also known as Candlemas): August 1st (Southern Hemisphere)/February 2 (Northern Hemisphere) is one of the four Greater Sabbats and an agricultural festival, celebrating the gradual awakening of the land after the darkness of winter. The world is now growing and becoming more fertile. It is seen as a celebration of the female mysteries and the coming of Spring. The Celtic fire goddess Brigid is sacred to this day. She is the Goddess of Fire, Inspiration and Poetry.

Imbolc is a time of initiation into the mysteries of the hidden & unknown, the occult and the feminine principal. It is the blessing & honouring of the initiate (the 'virgin'). The young God (Pan) also grows in power & strength, as the Goddess reappears on the earth in her virgin guise.

It is a day to bless & inspire new projects; purification; cleansing; settling old scores; paying off old debts; sorting out Winter & Summer clothes; and cleaning out cupboards and drawers. Let go of what doesn't work anymore and get ready for new directions in life.

Ritual representations:

*White candles, white flowers (gardenias, jasmine, lotuses, roses, snowdrop blossoms, etc).

*Symbols of the Virgin aspect of the Virgin-Mother-Crone Triple Goddess.

After casting Circle, invoke the Goddess Brigid - the young Goddess of fire & inspiration, and pay homage to the Young God:

"Fertile Brigid, blessed with fire, and Son God
growing ever brighter, kindle in me a fire of love
and sweet inspiration for the future. Lead me to the
path I best tread so in this year my gifts are shared."

Imbolc is all about feeling inspired - waking up from the hibernation of winter and looking to the future. It is a time to plan your goals for the coming year. Dreaming of ways to create & achieve your aims is Brigid's gift - the gift of inspiration.

Suggestions for the night :

*White candles or white flowers.

*To honour the Virgin aspect of The Triple Goddess.

*Don't forget (on the few days leading up to the day) to pay off old debts; settle old scores; clean the house; etc...

*Everyone should come up with a list of the things they'd like to achieve in the coming year. If you can write it in spell form...that would be even better.

*It's a much lighter celebration.

*To honour the Fire Goddess Brigid (also the goddess of inspiration & poetry) - The sharing of poetry is a lovely idea.

Merry Part,
& Blessed Be.

Yuletide Greetings!

2009-06-20T01:06:00.000-07:00

~~~

This year's Winter Solstice (Yule) falls on Sunday, June the 21st at 3:45pm (time & date for Southern Hemisphere only...)

Winter Solstice 2009:

"Great Mother Gaia, tonight you give birth to the Child of Promise; tonight on the longest and darkest night, we celebrate the fire of your Womb - the Light of Creation. The Sun God is born anew and everywhere rejoices. Hail and welcome ever-returning King and Eternal Queen.

So Mote It Be.

Blessed Be..."

~~~

Yuletide Greetings!

As the sun (symbolically) grows in strength from June 22nd (and the days grow gradually longer), think about what it is you wish to manifest in your life (what you wish to give life to/throw light upon/create, etc.)

Any projects you wish to give birth to - set aside some time & do a little meditation or visualisation (or Sacred Circle ritual) - seeing in your mind what you wish to accomplish. Then truly FEEL it as if it's already come to fruition. May the activating light of the growing sun fuel your desires, seeing you prosper & grow - in happiness, success and wholeness. May the infinite YOUniverse reflect all that You are... And may it serve you as you serve it.

Yule is a time when the waxing sun overcomes the waning sun. The Holly King, which represents the death aspect of God, is overcome by the Oak King who represents the rebirth of the God. It is the time when an individual concludes the chapter of their life for the year and prepares for the rebirth of the New Year's lessons and opportunities.

Celebrations vary from tradition to tradition, but there are some similarities that most people will probably recognise.

Dark red or Bayberry candles are used to decorate the home and ensure wealth and happiness for the coming year. Many Witches will place the candles as a centrepiece on their dining table and allow it to burn until it extinguishes by itself. A set of candles can also be placed on the mantle and lit at the beginning of the Yule ceremony.

The festival is associated with fire, and the Yule log. The fire is the tool that returns all to its beginnings, "ashes to ashes". And prepares the soul for rebirth, the "rise of the Phoenix from the ashes".

The Phoenix Formation (Crop Circle) : Appeared June the 12th 2009.

Rise of the Phoenix.

The season is also represented by the colours red (for the fire) and green (for the rebirth) process. The season includes the cutting of the Yule tree, decorating the home with a holy wreath (nature's red and green bush) and decorating special cookies for celebrating the sweet joys of the year past and the sweetness for the year to come.

Finally the season includes the reindeer stag to represent the horned God (Pan), the Wiccan God of death and the final chapter of the year.

From Zero to Hero with a Thousand Faces...

2009-06-16T02:44:00.000-07:00

Namaste.

Halo ONE'in'All. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Omnitheus Oneironaut. I entered Simulation Earth three & a half decades ago. Prior to incarnating here, I perused The Brochure which promised many things : one of them being the age-old human journey from 'Zero' to 'Hero with a Thousand Faces'.

I signed on the cosmic dotted line, tripped the Light fantastic portal, and became 'inserted'...

Starting out as the great 'Fool' (0 symbolising infinite potential & unlimited possibility), I jumped off the galactic cliff of no-time into an abysmal realm of earthean Duality & seemingly polarised opposites. In other words, I (pure innocence) was born. The jOURney of seventy-eight steps had begun. With my napsack of YOUniversal knowledge, I embarked on the great human adventure.

Growing up, I began to creatively express the 'Magician' within - realising that 'out there' was merely a reflection of 'in here'. As Within, So Without. The 'secrets' I had previously intuitively known were gradually replaced with conditioned programs from a sleeping collective. 'The High Priestess' alternated between the pillars of lucidity & unconsciousness... She fought to remain awake - never easy in an incredibly life-like Dream.

My dear mother ('The Empress') showered me with abundant, unconditional love. This was battled by a cold, hard & distant father ('The Emperor') whom over my life, would flit in & out like a fleeting mirage. The 'leader' in my life would never stay a dependable archetype...

Traditional religion would also shimmer & fade out of my existence. 'The Heirophant' would try to take hold, but would never succeed.

As a teenager, and into my early 20s...a new inspiration would come in the form of 'The Lovers'. I now knew what it was like to love another, to share... Intimacy proved to be a breeding ground for a new type of flower, a new way to understand my human self. At times, it seemed like I was travelling in 'The Chariot' of conflicting ideals, down a path broken in two, led by two creatures with alternate destinations. Never before had I needed to call upon all my stamina just to continue forward. Fortitude came in the form of 'Strength', with my taming of the beast within.

Breaking free from all the drama, I encountered Wisdom in the serenity of silence. It was here I stepped back and became 'The Hermit'. Shut off & unplugged from the noise of the matrix, I reconnected with the Divine Source, the Spirit animating All.

As luck would have it, the 'Wheel Of Fortune' spun in my favour...and the world (in all fairness) repositioned itself. 'Justice' was done. I collected my riches and passed Go. In this higher orbit, it appeared as if everything were turned upside-down. The sky had indeed fallen. As 'The Hanged Man', I began to see Life from a whole new angle & Reality from an entirely new perspective. Sacrifices were made. I had to lose my 'self' in order to find my SELF.

The transformation came in the form of many outmoded beliefs & crutches falling away, dissipating into mist - dying embers in the cauldron of certainty. 'Death' knocked on my door with kind severity. Nothing was ever again the same. With patience, 'Temperance' appeared like an outstretched hand - carefully balancing the old with the new. I still found myself falling victim to obsession & materialistic desires every now & then - 'The Devil' eager to seduce me at every turn. As the unexpected struck like 'The Tower' crumbling towards the earth; like Saturn returning...I once again was shocked awake.

Hope rose on the horizon like Venus glittering away before dawn. 'The Star' shone - illuminating my shadowed sky with promise. Looking away from all I could see, I began to step into my mind, my imagination, my thoughts. 'The Moon' helped me pierce the veils that had grown down all around me - allowing me to navigate my way through the dark night of the soul.

Bursting to radiant life, Light exploded in a big bang of creative activity. 'The Sun' had reached its zenith. Contentment experienced. I basked in the warm glow - a loving son of the universe.

With the trumpet sound of Gabriel's horn, I arose once again - not through the sky, but rather, through the dimensions. 'Judgement' consisted of ascending through vibrations, colours, sounds...seeing them all as aspects of That I AM. How could I possibly not feel anything but utter Unconditional Love once I realised that I AM everything & everyONE...? In this clarity, All became crystal clear. Through this face...a thousand I's looked out...at Its SELF.

In this attainment, in this knowing I AM 'The World'...I AM back where I started; the last step again the first. As Omega, So Alpha. Forever great 'Fool', I have walked the path from Infinity to finite experiences, and back to Infinity again. The Cycle complete. The Circle : perfect.

Add to all this my magician's tools - the elements which comprise my manifested reality : The Wand (Fire), The Athame (Air), The Cup (Water) & The Pentacle (Earth). These constitute my day-to-day. And I wield them knowingly.

This has been my story. Told a thousand times. Through one hero at a time...

Happy Halloween ONE'in'All!

SAMHAIN (pronounced sow-en):

{Halloween} : April 30th/May 1st [or alternatively : May 5th] (Southern Hemisphere)/October 31st (Northern Hemisphere)

Merry Meet ~ Happy Halloween everyONE! Wiccans/Pagans celebrate Samhain (or Halloween) as our New Year's Eve - the time 'tween the days. It's not an actual day on the calendar, but rather, the day in between the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. The traditional date (for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere) is tonight (April 30th) from sundown, through till sunrise tomorrow (May 1st). For those into the 'technical' date of Samhain (when the Sun is at fifteen degrees of Scorpio), it falls on May the 5th (next Tuesday). You could observe Samhain anytime really between tonight & May the 5th. Personally, I'll be observing & celebrating it tonight (with my coven) but will leave my proper honouring rituals & Sacred Circle Casting 'till next Tuesday (solitary).

Samhain represents the completion of the circle of the seasons and is the last of the three harvest Sabbats. Although the traditions celebrate Samhain on different days, they are the same festival with the same celebration and intent.

It is a festival of thanks and gratitude for the year past. A time to look back at the lessons you learned, the spiritual evolution you traversed and the special unions you made. A time to thank the God/Goddess for the bounty you received and shared.

Represented by black candles to ward off negativity, gold to recognise the Sun God essence and orange to represent the joining of the higher and lower forces within and without.

On the night of Samhain the veil between the spiritual world and the physical world is at its thinnest. Therefore many will conduct rituals to honour the dead or those they lost during the past year. Many Witches believe this is the best time to communicate with those they lost or wish to converse with on the other side. Divination is especially heightened on this night, but extra caution for positive forces should also be heeded.

Jack-o-lanterns, gourds, cider, pumpkins and other "Halloween"esque items can be used to decorate your home. Along with large golden-yellow mums in and about the house.

It is also a good time to buy a new broom, change the wardrobe, the curtains and colours in your home.

'Halloween' or Hallow's Eve...is when the veil between worlds is at its most thinnest. So the physical, the astral and the causal are all very close together - a great time to take advantage of! Samhain represents the seeds from Summer just gone, firmly planted in the ground, awaiting their rising, and eventual blooming into a world of manifested reality.

"Ever changing, Ever spinning, God & Goddess, All Entwining..."

Amongst Wiccans/Pagans, the most common Wheel of the Year narrative is that of the God/Goddess duality. In this cycle, the God is born from the Mother Goddess at Yule (Winter), grows in power at Vernal Equinox (along with the Goddess who has now returned to Earth as her Virgin aspect - late Winter/early Spring), courts and impregnates the Goddess (goodbye Virgin!) at Beltane (Spring - hence all the 'nookie nookie' in the bushes ceremonies at this time!), enjoys the fruits of their garden at Midsummer, wanes in power at Lammas (late Summer/early Autumn), passes into the underworld at Samhain (Autumn), then is once again born from The Mother/Crone aspect of The Goddess at Yule (Winter). The Goddess, in turn, ages and rejuvenates endlessly with the seasons, being courted by and giving birth to the Horned God (Pan in some traditions). Versions of this myth vary from coven to coven, shifting the birth, conception, or death of the God to different Sabbats.

This is all part of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year mythology. Samhain is seen as a festival of darkness and death, which is balanced at the opposite point of the wheel by the spring festival of Beltane, which Wiccans/Pagans celebrate as a festival of life and fertility.

You'll notice of course that there's the Northern Hemisphere perspective and the Southern Hemisphere perspective. Just remember that the Sabbats are seasonal - so you'll have Litha (Midsummer) at the Summer Solstice (usually December 22nd here in Australia - and June 19 to 23 in the northern countries), and Yule during our Winter Solstice (around June 22nd). The USA & Europe/England celebrate Samhain (or Halloween) on October 31st whilst we honour this particular Sabbat on the last night of April, & May 1st. Just remember the seasonal thing and it will always fall into place...a magickal place that is!

*Something Wicca'd This Way Comes...

After having flirted with nearly every religion & spiritual belief ('coz I'm just a curious soul...fascinated by the worlds' various points of You), it seemed that Wicca to me genuinely embraced, respected and honoured all other spiritual viewpoints; honouring both the Goddess (the Yin aspect of Divine Spirit) & the God (many mainstream religions only acknowledge the masculine aspect); and provides tools (via symbolism & ritual etc.,) for one to consciously create & manifest the reality they desire through the harnessing of Thought, Intention, Words & Action. We 'magickally' create the world around us through Thought, Intent, Words & Action - some people do it unconsciously...Wiccans (amongst others of course) do it consciously.

It seems I've been a Wiccan-in-training all my life. My first love was Numerology, then I progressed to Astrology, Tarot symbolism, everything Ancient Egyptian, Astronomy, Dreams (particularly Lucid Dreaming), Mythology, Philosophy, various cosmologies from numerous ancient traditions (namely the Mayans), Sacred Geometry (which led me to Crop Circles), Quantum Physics, ETs, Transpersonal Psychology (think Carl Jung), Crystal Healing, Runes, Mandalas, etc. Was raised a Catholic but began straying and flirted with Buddhism (Tibetan & Zen), Hinduism, Sufism, Judaism (particularly QBLH), Gnostic Christianity, Rosicrucianism and my personal favourite - Taoism. I love that Wicca can 'borrow' symbols from other belief systems (understanding that they're just projections from our own subconscious anyway) and utilise them in our own practices. I personally adore & honour Isis - the Egyptian Goddess of Magick, Saint Germain (a theosophical/New Age construct symbolising 'The Wonder Alchemist'), and Kali (the Hindu Creator/Destroyer Goddess). I also deeply respect Lao Tzu, Quan Yin, Buddha and Jesus, amongst many others. And boy, do I love my aliens (or as I'd prefer to call them - our Star Brethren). Being a Witch is all-encompassing and all-embracing...an aspect I love about Wicca! I'm not a Wiccan because of what I do - but because of who I am : All-inclusive.

Wicca and Neo-Paganism are the fastest growing spiritual belief systems in the world right now (which is ironic as it's also one of the oldest...) One of our 'mottos' is 'All-Embracing' - borrowing symbols and gods & goddesses from various religions. It is not bogged down by 'literalisms' so does not feel the need to stay true to centuries-old, outmoded beliefs. Symbolism (& Archetypal Psychology) is an integral part of Wicca. Everything is open to new interpretations, growth and expansion by acceptance. As the world changes, so too does Wicca. As the world is a reflection of us, so do we adapt...or perish. Out of respect for Mother Gaia/Mother Nature, and Her endlessly ever-changing cycles...we honour and embrace transformation, and forever seek out new avenues of expression...for the The ONE Being many (God/dess)...residing within.

Blessed Be ONE'in'All.

Dreaming Embed

2009-04-28T02:27:00.001-07:00

Namaste.

Halo ONE'in'All. I just wanted to share this with you. Woke up from the most amazing/peculiar dream this morning. I've only recently discovered how to embed pictures into my posts - by including the 'embed code' or formula...(I can even manipulate the length & width now by changing the dimension codes)...well, in this dream, I was walking around our normal, everyday world (a normal day in my life), BUT I was able to 'plug into' the 'matrix program' and (by thought alone) could manipulate my surroundings & environment by 'hacking' into the embed codes of every single thing 'embedded' in existence! (as if my mind was hooked up to some cosmic internet system...). If I wanted something smaller or larger, I'd simply lessen or lengthen the dimensions (numbers) in the embed codes. If I wanted something to disappear, I'd erase the code altogether. And if I wanted something to appear, I'd simply make up a code myself. I even had access to the embed codes of me - my very being! Once I realised I could consciously create 'reality' like this, I went lucid...and began playing within this self-created realm of ONEder & Magick. By being 'plugged into' the overall simulation program (the collective unconscious?), I then understood so much about the nature of reality and the reality of nature. And I could create Consciously & Will-fully. It was sooo much fun, and quite the profound experience. I woke up rejuvenated, still-lucid & in awe of every thing in this ONEderful YOUniverse...

I've taken to 'hooking up' to the multidimensional computer screen in my mind's eye whilst I'm awake (quite like those cool screens in 'Minority Report' but I drag the images/boxes across with my eyes, then focus on something to 'bring it up') and on flat days, inserting the words: Energised, Happy, Calm, etc., into the 'mood' section of my personal Embed Code (that 'embeds' me into this reality...). I find that once it's 'locked in', it only takes a matter of seconds to 'come up' on the screen of 'Life'. Way cool.

2012 : Year of the Galactic New Moon

2009-03-12T02:00:00.000-07:00

Several schools of thought along with various cultures from around the world are pointing to this current time as a great turning point for Mother Earth and all of humanity. Christians as well as the Jewish and Islamic faiths all see the coming years as a literal cleansing period. The Hopi Indians of North America say we are entering the Fifth World, but not before we pass through a 'Great Purification'. The Incas believe the world will be turned upside down in 2012, and the infamous Mayan Calendar (otherwise known as the Mayan Long Count or Great Cycle) ends on the December Solstice 2012, signifying the end of time as we know it.

Also on this landmark day, the solstice sun will align with the Dark Rift of our very own Milky Way Galaxy. This cosmic center-point is also known as 'The Great Womb of our Galactic Mother', and on December 21st 2012, the plane of our solar system will line up exactly with the plane of our galaxy - a cycle that has taken 26,000 years to complete.

*Note : The dates shown above are for the Southern Hemisphere.

So what could this all possibly mean to us Pagans? One thing all Pagans honour, respect and celebrate are the never-ending cycles of Mother Nature. We have our 'Wheel Of The Year' in which we observe eight ritual Sabbats (four major and four minor). The cycles of the moon - the Esbats - are celebrated on the thirteen full and new moons of the year. In neo-paganism and Wicca today, we even perceive the Goddess as being three-fold : a Triple Goddess having three faces - Maiden, Mother and Crone, each echoing the various phases (or faces) of the Moon. Cycles within cycles within cycles...

The ancient Maya were like magickal Shamans or Witchdoctors themselves, recognising not only the cycles of our Moon, Sun and planetary neighbours, but of whole star clusters like the Pleiades (The Tzolkin is the sacred calendar of the Maya and is based on the celestial cycles of the Pleiades).

The Mayans held the dark Central Bulge of our galaxy in high regard and in deep reverence, going so far as to predict a time of massive change and new beginnings when our solstice sun aligns with this mysterious dark womb in 2012.

As Above, So Below. Pagans intrinsically resonate with these cosmic energy cycles. We have our own personal versions of this every time we perform banishing rituals or spells during the New Moon (alternatively known as the Dark Moon). This is the best time for sending away or removing any undesired energy, habit, situation or thing; a time for honouring secrets, silence or solitude; a time for initiating and starting new projects. This Dark Disk phase also symbolises the veil between death and rebirth; a powerful time for working personal magick and ushering in new, higher vibrations.

2012 is like working with a galactic New Moon; an opportunity for the collective (all of humanity) to rebirth itself; a chance to work some major magick and banish our old, out-moded ways. It's a time to step into a new paradigm, vibrate at a new frequency and create a new world.

The Mayans of old are reaching forward through time to the Pagans/Wiccans/Witches/Magicians of the Now Age - creating a bridge of Light across the space-time continuum. We know each other intimately (and share some similarities - have we both not been accused in our pasts of performing human and animal sacrifices all in the name of appeasing one 'god' or another?). What they understood cosmologically, we Pagans understand personally. 2012 might just be the year the microcosm and the macrocosm finally merge (and science and mysticism converge); of all humans being expressions of the Divine GOD/DESS; the culmination of eons-long cycles; and of a grand global awakening. 2012 marks the transitional phase between Galactic Grandmother Crone and YOUniversal Virgin.

The End is nigh? No. More like...The Beginning is nigh!

"Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The Day Hell Blew In...

2009-02-10T18:45:00.000-08:00

Saturday, February 7th 2009 will forever be known to Victorians as 'The Day Hell Blew In'... It has been declared the worst natural disaster in Australian history : 200 people killed (with over a hundred more missing & feared dead); over 10,000 native animals killed; 2,000 homes destroyed; 7,000 homeless, about 450,000ha burnt out; and several towns totally obliterated & wiped off the map.

To date, over 100 million dollars has been raised (by Australians, and from around the world) to help the victims of this horrendous, weekend firestorm. It's being called 'Black Saturday'...the weekend Hell blew in...

Saturday started off relatively normal, but you could feel 'something' in the air - something ominous, something eerie, something imminent. As the day progressed, ferocious winds whipped up. Temperatures soared. A week earlier, we Melbournians had endured a heat wave not seen since 1908! : Transport was at a standstill; shops, restaurants & shopping malls were forced to close due to the blackouts sweeping across the city; our water reserves were being sucked dry... But all that was nothing compared to what was ahead.

As Saturday afternoon rolled on, temperatures in Melbourne climbed to a record-breaking 47-degrees Celsius (117 degrees Fahrenheit) : our official hottest day EVER (with record highs of up to 49C in the north of the state). Hurricane winds of up to 120km/h rushed across the countryside which had been left tinder dry from the recent heatwave and long drought. It was a recipe for disaster.

I was outside around this time and it was like sticking your whole body into an oven, or the mouth of an active volcano. The searing heat was incredible - the wind, deadly. There were reports around the state that birds were even falling out of the sky! It soon became quite unbearable outside. The sky began filling with dark smoke. That day's sunset (for those who could actually see it) was a darkly ominous & deathly crimson red. It was a foreboding sign heralding the destruction in progress, and of that still yet to come.

Melbourne is known as an extreme city where it's not unusual for us to have four seasons in one day. Unfortunately, the rain still hasn't hit yet (though thank the Goddess it's finally cooled down!) and there's still over a dozen bushfires raging around our city. Ironically, in the top end of Australia, (northern Queensland), they're experiencing the worst floods they've had in decades!

The energy expelled from Saturday's Superfire was 60-80,000kW/m of fire (equivalent to 500 Hiroshima atomic bombs released at once, or enough energy to supply the entire state of Victoria with electricity for two years.)

One tender story of compassion has had me welling up with tears every time I see a photo or news footage of it. A koala (named Sam) was caught in the aftermath of the blaze, and a caring firefighter (funnily enough, named David Tree) came to little Sam's rescue - giving her water, and seeing to it that she was taken out of harm's way. Humans were not the only victims - our beautifully gorgeous flora & fauna have also suffered deeply.

These images of Sam The Koala & The Caring Firefighter were sent around the world : An inspiring image of Love, Compassion, Hope & Healing in the aftermath of pain, loss & chaos.

Jennifer Wood is reunited with partner Mark (above) and young son Jack after she returned from Mt. Martha while Mark defended their home.

Fire is (in some cases - unfortunately) a great purifier (pure-fire) & cleanser. It's taken a disaster (as it most often does) to bring our city, state & nation closer together - to YOUnify us all. As the fires keep burning & the toll keeps rising, tragedy has a way of turning strangers into friends, and friends into family. It's been very sad, but the many inspiring, personal stories of hope & courage have uplifted the hearts & spirits of many Australians during this trying time. We are not called Victorians by sheer coincidence. Once the dust has settled, we will have proved ourselves to be Victorious...

One man interviewed on the news remarked, "I don't ever have to go to church again. I no longer fear going to Hell...because I've been through HELL already this weekend." Sobering words indeed.

"Only from the ashes of despair, can the Phoenix of Hope, Courage & Rebirth emerge."

From Emergency...to hopefully, Emerge & See.

To all the victims of this tragedy, my heart-felt thoughts & prayers are with you.
May the healing rains fall VERY soon...

Another (thankfully cooler now) Point of You : OM...

*May the Healing of all those affected by this great tragedy : humans, animals, plants & the scorched Australian landscape, commence Now...

A Hug From Home

2008-08-05T17:38:00.000-07:00

"CONNECTION ACHIEVED"

~Open Contact~

Yesterday morning (Tuesday, August the 5th, around 8am) after I woke up, I decided to nestle down for an impromptu meditation. I propped myself up to about a 23-degree angle using my pillows and laid my hands down by my sides. I kept my blankets on me so that I wouldn't get too cold.

Getting images seems to be a lot easier now than when I first began meditating many years ago. Or perhaps the 'energy' of yesterday morning was just more conducive & resonant to the process of interdimensional travel. Anyways, after clearing my mind of any external distractions and inner monkey chatter, I soon found myself 'linking up' with a sphere of some type. It felt that this 'sphere' was in space but not really that far away (relatively speaking). I couldn't quite tell if it was in our solar system, but it was definately in our galaxy.

My image of this sphere solidified until I realized it was in fact a starship - a kind of Mothership or something. Onboard were numerous beings of Light. That is to say that their vibrational frequency resonated to a level higher than that of this dense 3rd/4th dimension. They appeared to be translucent, like glowing light bulbs, yet in the fuzzy shape of human-like beings ~ seemingly individual, yet existing as ONE...a group-mind operating as many...

At this point, I could simultaneously feel that my body here on Earth was experiencing some kind of physical transformation - like it was reconfigurating its very cellular structure in order to accomodate this incoming higher frequency. My instrument in effect, was being transposed. It needed to 'step up' in order to receive this particular signal. I could feel that my mind was totally purified & clear so that this communication could take place. I had absolutely no mundane thoughts, no earthly distractions to tarnish this process. The 'vessel' had to be empty to receive.

I could also feel my Heart beating faster and faster - as if it were working overtime to anchor this energy. Faster became synonymous with Higher. It was like an engine speeding up as the power increased.

As soon as I got a vision of the inside of the starship, and of the beings, a torrent of information came through at the speed of light. I 'got' that I was one of them - a volunteer who had chosen to come down into this realm/world in order to fulfill some sort of mission. That once I had entered this planet's frequency, I would largely forget at the beginning of this expression's life...WHO I was, and WHY I was here - all for the purpose of playing this game, for the thrill of this particular ride. Once I'd entered Simulation Earth, the True Me would forget, and the 'costume', I'd become... Like an Actor BECOMING the role, or a computer game Player forgetting who they were outside the game and totally BEING the avatar/character.

I understood all this and more. Waves of love & light were bombarding me to such an extent that I could feel my 3D body reacting. My lungs were filling with air, then expelling it rapidly - repeating this process in quick succession. My heart beat even faster.

I could feel 'them', my Family, telling me how much they loved me, how proud they were of me, how excited they were for me, and how happy & joyous they were that I was able to tune in and communicate with them - how I was able to pierce the veil (pass through the dimensional boundaries) and open up contact with them. I could see their lights increasing in luminosity and morphing into many various colours. Their bright, shining colours I realised, was them expressing their joy!

It was at this point that my earthly vehicle nearly imploded at the maximum energy exchange. I had to divide my consciousness so that I was part on board with my celestial Family, and back 'here' instructing and taking care of my body. It began to sob uncontrollably - a bizarre mixture of laughing & crying. I could not tell which. It felt as if my entire body was being tickled; like it was being held & caressed & touched & loved...by a thousand points of Light. I was being healed. I was re-calibrating my molecular structure. My mind was being re-programmed. My brain was being rewired. And my chakras were being re-aligned. I intuitively felt that I had to clasp my hands together - not in prayer, but because of the vast amounts of electrical energy moving about my body. This energy had to be harnessed not wasted.

As the connection continued, I received glimpses of my home-world, life in that other dimensional realm, peaceful times with my Light Family. Aspects of my 'mission' here also surfaced - why I was drawn to various people, various interests, and various locations. My past became clear - why I was born into the earth family that I was, why I experienced various things in my childhood & young adult years, and why I chose my human parents...

I felt strongly that I've not incarnated physically on this particular planet before but to aid me on this 'trip', I had to have extensive 'imprinting' - which is akin to going into a massive temple/library which contains all of Earth's past/present/future (the Akashic Records or World Memory) and choosing whichever lifetimes are useful to the upcoming incarnation to be lived. Quite like going into a library and osmotically fusing (or downloading) into one's self, whichever books or files will be beneficial to one's trip to be taken. Every single life that has ever lived, is currently living & will live on this planet is stored in this temple/library. A newly incoming Soul with no preparation whatsoever may find it grossly unbearable to come into this earth-realm without these 'imprints'. A little 'reading-up' before the journey has saved many Souls from self-destructing from all the dense drama & noise going on once they find themselves here. (This also goes to explain why past-life hypnotic regressions may bring up the possibility of two or more people recalling the same life...)

My earthly vehicle tucked away safely in its bed, was now reaching fever pitch. Though my eyes were firmly shut, tears began to escape and roll down my face. My hands were clasped tightly together. The energy was reaching a climax.

An avalanche of emotions engulfed me as the Light from Home & Family infused & permeated my entire being with its Love. Colours danced like a radiant kaleidoscope on fire. Everything began to swirl. 'They' began to withdraw and say goodbye... Like a giant nurturing hand being pulled away, I wanted it/them to stay. But I knew I had to come back. That I had to fulfill my 'contract'. The link did not fade away like fleeting dream images - in fact, the line went dead in an instant. Everything went back to 3D/normal - in one single heartbeat. The glowing sphere was gone; the glorious beings - disappeared. My physical body immediatly relaxed. A huge sigh rolled through me. And I was back. For several minutes afterwards, I experienced a curious high-pitched tone ringing in my right ear...

I AM aware that even though I'm fully ensconced in this 'game', I'll always have that connection to Home in my heart, and that my Soul is the gateway to my Star Family. 'They' are always with & within me, and regardless of what happens out there in this crazy, funny, paradoxical, topsy-turvy world of diversity, drama & duality, inside, I'll always have a direct line to The Light, to Love, and to the ONEderfully multidimensional YOUniverse : I AM.

I'm forever grateful for yesterday morning. It will always be in my mind - a beautiful, ecstatic song forever playing in my heart. I needed it at this point in this incarnation's life. A gift of Re-Membering. A hug from Home. So that I can continue on my merry way...

Another (Mutidimensional) Point of You : OM...

~End of Transmission~

*Postscript : This 'meditation'/contact occurred yesterday morning - and it totally blew me away. It was so powerful, and vivid, and emotional and pure and beautiful and moving and exciting, etc, etc, etc. I felt such Unconditional LOVE for everyone and everything. Later, after having composed myself, I ventured out into the world, and I really felt as if more of my Higher Star-Self was inside me; that my Light Family was now looking out through my eyes at this remarkable planet and everything in it (that's how connected with Home I felt). I really did feel like a thousand worlds YOUnified within. I walked around my apartment, my suburb, and later, the city in absolute wonder and amazement and love and joy. I felt like a cross between an innocent child again, and a bewildered tourist. I was so curious about everyone. I actually wanted to go up to strangers and ask them how they were, who they were and what they were doing. And I so loved & honoured them all! Things fascinated me - trees, animals, buildings, colours, sounds, the sky, words, music, statues, art, cars...everything. It felt like I was here for the very first time! It was a peculiar yet very exciting feeling. I sat on trams just staring at people - studying them, smiling at them, and with my eyes...telling them how much I loved them. Some found it confronting and looked away, and some smiled back. What a curious world. I think I'll enjoy my time here. It's everything The Brochure said it would be. AND MORE.

"CRYSTAL CLEAR"

A Month Later ~ September 3rd 2008:

4:33am, Today ~ My alarm startles me awake. Had I just done a meditation in my dreams with the 13 Crystal Skulls...or am I about to do one, consciously in waking life? Am I a human who has just dreamt of being a butterfly...or am I a butterfly now dreaming I am human?

I quickly light 12 candles around my room and prop myself up on my bed - with a huge painting of the Hunab K'u right behind my head. It's now 4:44...

I descend the swirling staircase of my mind, find the bottom door, and pass through it. Then I will myself to my open Healing Temple - taking in the beauty of the lush vegetation around me. Animals frolic in the starshine nearby. The grand mountains whisper their secrets to me. The gentle breeze lovingly caresses my face. I give thanks to all the Love & Beauty within/without...

Then I think about the vast underground cavern housing the Crystal Skulls. And in an instant I'm there.

I see them arranged as in a clock face - all twelve skulls shining, luminescent, glowing & brilliant. I stand in my section. I sense two others, also standing in their alloted sections. A rotating energy of wispy light tendrils begins sweeping around the circle. A protective sphere is created (not unlike the Wiccan spheres of light I create with my coven back on Earth).

I see also (simultaneously overlapping onto my vision like cellophane), each crystal skull being held by a Mayan Elder - dressed in ceremonial garb. These are the Astral Guardians. They communciate with me telepathically to consider them symbols of love & kindness & compassion & joy. They then morph into people who have touched me with their love throughout my present incarnation's life : Every human who has ever offered a kind word, showed genuine affection, made me smile & laugh... Each crystal skull holder became a composite of all these humans who have ever loved me. I began to cry - tears of gratitude and appreciation. My heart was healing.

Then the swirling energy of light changed polarity and began turning the other way. I saw each of the twelve people then morph into every person I had helped, assisted and loved. I saw people I had opened doors for, given up my seat on a tram for, smiled on the street at. I saw those whom I had shared joyous times with, and those I had made sweet love to. I saw those whom I had written encouraging letters to, and those I had hugged. Every human I had ever meant something to, I saw. Tears were flooding my face now. I saw that this was all it was about : Love...Love Unconditional. My heart was Light.

The swirling light began to move upwards and the many beings then began to take another shape - they each shape-shifted into a member of the Twelve Tribes. Each root-race was represented. The faces of every human being on the planet flashed onto each holder's face - like unique works of art appearing momentarily on an eternal canvas. I watched in awe, as I witnessed all my brothers & sisters in a ONEderful display of colour, light, sound & vibration. It was a celebration of our uniqueness. It was a jubilant recollection of our ONEness. My heart sang.

As the rotating light filled the entire globe we were in, the faces changed yet again. This time, they morphed into all races, all species, and all beings of various star-systems & far-off planets & other dimensions. I saw beings I'd never seen before, or could never even imagine. Each one looked at me with utter love. Even if they too were caught up in worlds of duality, it was their true nature I was seeing - their Divine-ness, their Light... The Universe never looked so connected, so joined, so ONE. I could see that my Family was truly far-reaching & all-encompassing...a cosmic kaleidoscope of diversity...yet ONE at heart.

The air seemed to be infused with a highly charged, blue electrical current. Then each face became a mirror. And I saw my SELF in each and every ONE. I saw All That I AM. The YOUniverse...

A 13th Crystal began to form & materialize, shimmering into existence all around us. It was the most resplendent of them all. I 'got' that it was the crystal-core deep within Mother Earth herself - that this final skull was the Global Mind Itself. A radiant third 'I' blew wide open. It seemed each living being on the planet was purely an individual synaptic nerve or cell within this Grand Mind. But like every DNA molecule in the human body, each of us contained & had access to...The Whole. I simultaneously received that this giant crystal was also the Galactic Center, the Great Central Star, the Mayan's Hunab K'u (Galactic Butterfly). Like a tuning fork, Gaia was harmonising, resonating & synchronising herself with this cosmic center. As Within, So Without. As Above, So Below...

The giant 13th Crystal began to grow - its fantastic aura enveloping & embracing all else. We were now totally within it. All was ONE Mind; ONE Heart; ONE Soul; ONE BEING. What once appeared to be individual crystal points on the intricate net of Indra, now became a living, breathing web of All YOUnited. Like in a warm womb...The ONE basked in sheer bliss - protected, ecstatic, loved & full of - not Light - but something 'transcending' Light, something I cannot quite describe with this particular earthean language.

Then, with a Big Bang...the greatest fireworks display & lightshow erupted. It seemed as if it were exploding outwards. Yet it was all still contained within. For there really is no 'out' nor 'in'. It All just IS. Once we created 'the two', we 'fell' into the illusion of duality & separation.

The galactic light display is still raging on. A spectacular show indeed. Every being ~ in-Joying it immensely. Some choose to watch with their eyes wide open, and some with their eyes closed. It has blinded some to the point where they no longer have 'eyes to see'. And some watch, as if lucid within a dream...knowing full-well, and understanding totally...that they are watching their SELF. ONEness never left their consciousness. And with each flash of reality, every pulse of light, and every glimmer of life...they KNOW THY SELF...as ONE with All.

"in Lak'ech" ~ Mayan for : 'I AM Another You.'

Another Point of You...

~~~

*Thank you Henry & Jack for acting as the physical gateway to this pro-found realization (real-eyes-in-action). I probably may have never done this particular meditation on my own, and whether or not I was even capable of it (energetically-wise) on my own, I'll never know. All I know is this - the two of you were integral to this process. Our combined vibrations acted as a kind of portal. Today I feel light - healed personally, planetarily and galactically. And for that I AM truly grateful. Thank You both again.
Namaste.

Life is For Giving not For Getting

Namaste.

Hello Earth Expression. It is the Soul writing here, of the Earth Expression that you know of as 'OM'. It's been a long haul (approximately eleven million years) for him to FINALLY realize (with the veils on) that he is not his body or 'character'. I've been waiting a very long time for him to understand this. But it's always been his own choice as to how fast (or slow) he evolves.

OM has claimed FULL responsibility for his life. He understands that he is not a 'victim of circumstance', but rather, a 'Master of Circumstance'... And he knows this. To FORGIVE the past is to RELEASE the past. This is HEALING. This is FREEDOM. This is reclaiming back one's POWER. Only when this has taken place is one free to live in the Eternal Now - where true reality resides. All else is illusion.

I'll let you in on a little secret deal that "I" made with every other single soul whom OM has encountered within this lifetime who has 'victimised', 'hurt', 'abused' or 'traumatised' him.

Take for example, the uncle who sexually molested him. In the Planning Stages before incarnation, the soul of this uncle and I (the Soul of OM) devised and set up a situation whereby, if down the line, OM could find it in his heart to forgive this uncle, then he would someday know what it means to experience TRUE forgiveness, compassion and Unconditional Love. Within the greatest challenges lie the greatest gifts. Remember, every pearl once started out as the oyster's irritating grain of sand... If this world is your oyster, imagine how many pearls are out there...

Yes, as a twelve year old boy, OM did not 'consciously' ask for this lesson, but does any human consciously ask for any lesson? A contract had been devised, a scripted situation played out, an absolute forgiveness given, and an invaluable wisdom gained. No longer will this type of situation ever appear again for him. It doesn't have to. The Gift was recognised and the Pearl has been claimed. He became lighter by letting go. He is now free to fly...

If OM had continued throughout this life thinking of himself as a victim in any way, the next time around, 'I' as his Soul would have had to come up with an even heavier experience to shake him awake and into Love. Victim consiousness goes hand in hand with vicitm reality.

EVERY ACT IS DONE IN LOVE. On the physical, third-dimensional level, this is sometimes difficult to see but as the veils of illusion gradually pull back - All will be revealed.

You may come up with things to refute or disagree with the things said here, and by all means do so. Always question. Philosophies are just that until experienced as personal truths. Always look within - for there you will find your own answers which can apply only to you. I know you know all this. If there's only one thing I can reiterate here however, it's this - Always look deeper than what your five senses are showing you. Every thing is an act of love. Every Thing. Figuring out how-so is the interesting part.

Everyone 'out there' is merely a projected aspect of You...an extension of You. To view your own judgements, fears, loves and thoughts you may have about your Self, you have constructed an ingenius world reality (a YOUniverse) where the external mirrors the internal, where the physical reflects the intangible. 'As Within, So Without.' (Emerald Tablet of Thoth) This is purely so you can see what you need to work on, heal, let go of, accept, integrate and love without condition. There is no one judging you 'out there'. They are only symbols of your own inner processes...manifested representations of your own self-judgements. Hate them, you become more fragmented. Love them, and you become YOUnified.

'Who looks outside sleeps...Who looks inside wakes' ~ Swiss transpersonal psychologist Carl Gustav Jung.

Namaste.

Firstly, I had the worst New Year's Eve EVER! It was one disaster after another.
Prelude/Preview : Early evening - and my next door neighbour's hot water system blows up thus flooding the two apartments either side of him. My carpet was soaked. Worst hit was my wardrobe which I had to empty out into the rest of my already very small apartment. It really has looked like Ground Zero for the last three days. And the smell! Like something had died! (Thank the Goddess it's now gone!) Hmm - an exploded hot water system? = Tempers flaring & exploding; Emotions boiling over; 'in hot water'? I smell trouble.
The Main Feature : Cut to Fireworks later that night : my party gets separated shortly after midnight. Half the group (unable to hail a cab) had to walk for hours until daybreak whilst the other half were cabbing it all over the northern suburbs (of Melbourne) repeatedly being rejected from various clubs for one petty reason after another. Phones were lost. Unneccesary taxi fares were paid. Club entry & drink prices were massively exaggerated. AND it was the hottest NYE on record - something like 35 degrees (celsius) & upwards throughout the night (with 41 degrees on New Year's Eve Day!). It was the worst come-down ever...from a climax that never was!

Anyways, I should have known better really.

It's now 2008. Numerologically speaking, the world is starting a new cycle - going back to the Energy/Vibration of a 1. This is calculated by adding 2 with 8 (0's signify & symbolise the Unified Field, or Infinity/Eternity). Thus we get 10. 9's represent completions, endings, finito... 10's (brought down to 1) are all about starting over, new beginnings, new slates & the commencement of a new cycle. So the world is now spinning into a higher octave (like a transposed orbit, if you will).

Add to this my Personal Year Number. This is calculated by adding your birth day & month to the year in which you had your last birthday. For me, this is: 18 + 10 + 2007. Simplified, this is brought down to: 1 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 7. Now it looks like this: 9 + 1 + 9 = 19. And finally - 1 + 9 = 10.
So, from October 2007, my own 10 Year has kicked in too.

In effect, I'm sharing the World's Year # of 1 with my own Personal Year # 1 : A New Beginning on top of a New Beginning...

Reverting back to some old habits on NYE was totally going against my new vibration - so it seemed like the Universe was throwing up blocks & Dead Ends at my every turn. Nothing flowed smoothly. Chaos seemed to rule. Disappointment, anger, frustration and hopelessness abounded. The road-blocks were lit up in neon it seemed (but of course I was too 'out of it' to read any of the signs properly).

In hindsight, I can see now why I had such a terrible night. It was a final, bittersweet farewell to a life past. It was a much expired last hurrah. It was one more for the road - though one on which I'm no longer travelling down. It was an End.

To 2008. To a New Cycle...and a Higher Vibration. To the Phoenix that arises out of old ashes to be born anew - in essence, A-New...You.

It is here,

I Begin Again.

A Planet YOUnique

2007-11-06T18:55:00.000-08:00

I've been to several different countries around the world and I have to say that Australia is certainly a unique & beautiful country in terms of energy (or vibrational frequency).

I found the USA, as fun and loud and brash as it is to be kinda tied down by an incredibly 'heavy' karmic energy. There's still a lot of collective 'ego' to be transcended there. But there's definately an uprising of new/ancient spiritual energy bubbling up beneath the surface (especially on the Western Coast - which could perhaps explain the unstable plates underneath the area...) The Grand Canyon however is truly a ONEderful area - deeply imbued with the wisdom of the grand, old ancestors. Hawaii on the other hand is positively brimming with new & exciting vibrations - like a portal between Earth and other star systems or something... The USA is like the overly proud Knight who's currently in the process of being served up a big piece of humble pie.

England has a very old, rich and deeply wise feeling about it...especially the magickal southern counties - around Stonehenge, Avebury and the Wiltshire (Crop Circles territory) areas. This part of the country is like a gateway for something universal, archetypal & symbolic to make its way through & ground itself in our dimension. On the whole, England's more the refined 'ego' at work - like a slightly stuffy yet incredibly regal & world-weary King sitting listlessly on his throne.

France has a beautiful feminine energy about it - very ancient too, but paradoxically blossoming. This is evident moreso at the Château de Versailles - gorgeously, lush gardens surrounding an exquisite palace of ornate furnishings & architecture. Paris itself has been through a lot of trial & tribulation and you get that sense walking through her now-relaxed & relieved streets. Like a dancing stately Queen or a wise old Crone who has seen a lot in her long life - that's how I see France.

Philippines (ditto Mexico) is manic, erratic, religious/spiritual, colourful and wild. Like us, they borrow from the West, appreciate the East, all the while constantly birthing their own unique vibe.

But Australia, curiously, sits at the Middle Pillar between the established UK and the driven USA, sits below the intuitive & decidedly feminine East, neighbours the grand emotion of the Pacific Ocean, sits atop the mysterious & enigmatic Antarctica...yet retains too, her own sense of ancient aboriginal dreamtime energy and a flowering new frequency which I liken to a gigantic cauldron filled with spices, elixirs & essences from all across the galaxy. Australia is the court jester - method in his madness, reason in his rhyme, and much compassion in his tomfoolery.... At the end of the day however, the Jester takes off his mask...and the Wizard's left smiling a secret knowing little smile all to himself...

All these observations have merely been my, well, observations - never the reality of the matter, but simply how I've felt & what I've intuited when I've visited these gorgeous lands that together, make up this ONEderful, YOUnique planet of ours...

Fringe Benefits

2007-10-02T19:05:00.000-07:00

Just throwing this out there ~

Who as a kid, was into the bizarre, weird, fringe, 'out there', arcane, & the paranormal? And what kind of stuff did you read or were into?

I had a fascination with UFO's & aliens (still do!); Little People (LOVED that TV show from the 60s about little people trapped on a parallel Earth-like planet); Ghosts; Time-travel (ditto that show also from the 60s about those two time travellers); The Bermuda Triangle; Magick; the Egyptian Pyramids, geometric symbols and inexplicable discoveries like those reported by Zecharia Sitchin and Erich Von Daniken.

I guess an interest in the bizarre as a youngin' merely paved the way for an adult life of open-mindedness and an appreciation & recognition of the supranormal, the transcendental and the consciously universal...

To the enigmatic, the paradoxical and the weird'n'wonderful...

My interests now are still as 'fringe' as ever: Wicca, Witchcraft, Lucid Dreams, Lucid Living, Crop Circles, Sacred Geometry, Synchronicity, Symbolism, Mythology, Dreams, Tarot, Astrology, Philosophy, Transpersonal Psychology, Mayan Cosmology, Time Travel, Extra-Dimensionals, ETs, Astronomy, Quantum Physics, Ancient Egypt, Channelling, Androgyny, The YOUniverse, & Ascension.

I still have my hundred-year-old-looking copies of my Erich von Däniken books hidden away in some box somewhere - they kinda look like the Dead Sea Scrolls by now I'm sure!

As a child, I was fascinated by magick and really thought I could manipulate the wind. I grew up in country S.E. QLD (Warwick way), and I used to stand atop the hill behind our house and command the wind to bend to my will (yes - I wasn't aware of invoking nicely back then...!). My little sister thought I was crazy but I'm sure she was more than a little frightened when the wind did in fact die down and start up again in response to my overdramatically loud requests in weird, garbled, made-up languages! She's soooo not surprised that I'm now Wiccan either!

I was also massively intrigued by ghost movies & books when I was young too. I always knew they (the disembodied spirits) were more scared than the humans they were supposedly haunting. I deeply respected the art of psychometry and could feel the energies of objects and where they'd been or what kind of person they had belonged to. I remember not being able to have certain objects in my room (especially at night) because I used to tell my mom that they had 'seen' bad things happen in the past in other homes (my mom was big on garage sales when we were younger...)

As for the night sky - oh, how it held such wonder & beauty for me. I used to really believe that I had come from some other far-away constellation or dimension and that the 'mothership' was coming back someday to pick me up after my 'tourist' duties here on this planet had been completed.

Alas, I'm still waiting...

The Hundredth One...

2007-09-11T00:09:00.000-07:00

The Hundredth ONE...

As 'you' grow, so too does it propel my own growth forward, thus evolving the Global Mind/Spirit, and so on & so forth ad infinitum...

For as one 'cell' sings a new frequency with much gusto & love, so too does it inspire a new tune within the whole body of like cells (quite like a tuning fork influencing all tuning forks around it). Critical Mass is thus achieved and soon the whole being is singing a new song.

On the face of it, each religion & spiritual belief may seem 'fragmented' but behind each religious 'mask' lies the same One Mind, the same One Heart, the same One Soul. As long as we're all looking at each others' 'faces' rather than sensing the Oneness we all share within...this perceived reality of separation and pain will continue to perpetuate & be lived out.

Different paths...Same mountain.

"quite like a tuning fork influencing all tuning forks around it."

Hmmm - Reminds me an awful lot of the Hundredth Monkey Syndrome...

"The 100th Monkey - A True Story..."

The Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant. An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

Then something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes -- the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let's further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.

THEN IT HAPPENED!

By that evening almost everyone in the tribe was washing sweet potatoes before eating them. The added energy of this hundredth monkey somehow created an ideological breakthrough!

But notice: A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea...Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes. Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.

Although the exact number may vary, this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the conscious property of these people.

But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone!

This is an excerpt from the book by Ken Keyes, jr. "The Hundredth Monkey."

Imagine my excitement today at finding a novel (called 'The 100th Human' by Chris Fenwick) at the TS Bookshop - all about physics, metaphysics, evolution, ancient symbols, 2012, The Mayan Calendar - and with the Aztec Stone Calendar as well as the Hunab Ku (the Mayan symbol representing The Galactic Center - which is featured in the huge painting above my bed) on the cover. What a delightfully synchronistic & a-MAYA-zing thrill!

*Could You...or You...or You...or You...be the hundredth one?!?

"The 100th Human"

December 2012 - The final day of the 5000 year old Mayan calendar nears. The world is in turmoil - as wars and international tensions continue. People everywhere seem lost in the complications of day to day struggles - poverty - misfortune - anger and greed. A small team of scientists have uncovered a riddle concerning this "End of Days". As they reveal the symbolic meaning of the riddle, their serendipitous mission is discovered by the Ancient Fraternity of the Veni Victus - determined to thwart such revelations. These two powers - of good and evil - converge. Only the spirits of the ancients know the outcome.

'The 100th Human' is a spiritual quest delving deeply into matters of physics, metaphysics, evolution and the human condition. Join Jack, Apu and Alana as they race against time searching for those who can assist in revealing the mystery of the ancient symbols - before time literally runs out.

Written by Chris Fenwick.

*When I finished reading this book ('The 100th Human' by Chris Fenwick), I sat there on my bed with tears streaming down my face; my mind swimming with joy; and my heart so expanded that the whole human race was dancing within me. I really felt like I had opened a telepathic link-up with the collective consciousness of this planet. I could feel everyone's confusion. I could sense the imminent shifting of energy. I could feel each case of love being chosen over fear. And vice versa, I could project my bliss & unconditional love out & into the global Heart/Earth from my own heart... It was a profoundly beautiful & powerful moment, with the book itself acting as a kind of 'key' to this particular door of realization...to this infinite mansion of unlimited potential & possibility. I thoroughly recommend this little book...a little book with a BIG heart. And a whole lotta Soul.

Here's to washing our potatoes in that nearby stream...and to Critical Mass!

ps(st) - Also picked up today, my 15th Tarot deck - The Fey (or Faery) Deck. Rather apt don't you think? Also bought a Witches' Almanac 2008 (gotta get in early!). And I also came across the new Crop Circles Calendar for next year (you can imagine my little squeal at that find!). Saw today as well, a gorgeous little film called 'Once' - moving, poignant & musically delicious. Last week, I bought some beautiful pentagram jewelry from The Esoteric Bookshop (have been looking for this place for ages and finally saw an ad for it in my new copy of 'Spellcraft' - which I'm subscribed to. The man who worked there looked like a character out of Harry Potter. It was a magickal day...) All in all - a rather ONEderful day (and week)! Namaste.

Total Eclipse of the Moon...

2007-08-27T18:05:00.000-07:00

Don't forget Starchildren - There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight.

At 8:37pm, Tuesday, August 28th, the Moon will go an eerie deep crimson/blood-red colour as our Earth blocks the light from the sun as it hits the full moon. The eclipse will commence at around 7pm and will end around 10pm, with the peak being at 8:30pm. These times I've put up are relevant to Melbourne, Australia. It's clear skies so far, so hopefully there won't be any rain tonight to obscure this celestial view...

Don't miss it! The last one was in July 2000, and the next one won't be until 2011...

BTW - For more info on eclipses, go to:

http://www.mreclipse.com/MrEclipse.html#Moon

It's interesting to note that the next Lunar Eclipse won't be until 2011 (heralding the ending of The Mayan Calendar), in preparation of the 2012 closure of the third-dimensional concept of linear time (?!). (The Mayan calendar 'ends' on the Solstice of December 21st, 2012) Funnily enough, the next Venus Transit of the Sun (when the planet Venus travels across the face of the Sun) will also be occuring on June 5-6, 2012. Interesting times indeed.

To all my Magickal brothers & sisters - It would be a fortuitous & timely opportunity to harness the powerful energies of this rare phenomenon, as it symbolises Earth (the Conscious ability to manifest) momentarily throwing into darkness, the Light of the Sun (the Active energetic Will) as it hits the Full Moon (the Subconscious seen). Hence, everything hidden will thus come to the fore and be able to be accessed by us Co-Creators here on Earth - a window of just three hours. So use your individual magickal abilities on this night of nights! Bring to manifestation, your deepest desires; put an end to everything no longer working for you; and anchor a new, universally-conscious You - powerful, brilliant, multidimensional & masterful!

"Light Up Some Empty Space"

~ Trust well-known astrologer Jonathan Cainer to put two & two together, tonight's eclipse and the recent discovery of a gigantic blank canvas in deep space (as reported elsewhere on my Blog)!

"There will be a lunar eclipse tonight - followed, in a fortnight, by a solar eclipse. During such alignments, people are more inclined to experience powerful prescience or feelings of deja vu. Just in time for this latest season of peculiar possibility & unlimited potential, astronomers are announcing a discovery. An intergalactic gap - A huge hole in the universe, one billion light years wide. How odd nobody noticed it before."

Could this 'nothingness' be symbolic of a totally clean slate - one on which is up to us to fill in...to manifest a totally new reality within? Does this empty space represent a whole new chapter - an area where we can bring to heavenly fruition a brand new celestial beingness?

Enlighten the darkness by twinkling on little stars...thus setting the cosmos ablaze with yOUR infinite, eternal Light.

Love on,
OM...

'Lunar Tick-Tock Symbolism'

And now for the Symbolism of tonight's Lunar Eclipse...

Eclipses herald a time of completions & endings. Everything that has gone on before is effectively 'eclipsed', over, kaput and done with.

Tonight's cosmic forces will cause sudden endings, eruptions and unbridled passions. Tempers may flare and blood-boiling situations could erupt. Tensions may be high and emotions stormy & tumultuous. Everything will be exaggerated, especially powerful urges to end things.

The effects are spread over a three-day period, culminating at the moment of the eclipse.
The Earth herself may twist and turn under these push-pull forces too. There may be minor tidal waves and eruptions in the total eclipse zone of the Pacific Ocean.

So...smokers, alcoholics and drug addicts - tonight, the Moon is working in your favour if you want to quit.

Don't push anybody over the edge this evening or give anyone an ultimatum as they are likely to act irrationally.

Relationships of any kind that no longer benefit you will reach their expiry date tonight.

Tomorrow is a time of New Beginnings, clean slates and new chapters. The cosmic leaf is turning... Create a new reality - unbounded by old, outmoded beliefs, routines or habits. Seize the new energy and run with it!

Here's to a galactic window closing and a universal door opening!!!

CURRENT MOON

moon data

The following is The Seed (An Immaculate Conception of sorts) - the beginning of a series of email correspondences between my best friend (T.) and I regarding the setting up of a Coven.
*** Yo OM, Beltane is coming up - a date in the wicca calender that we should take advantage of and initiate our wiccan practices. it is said that the best time to do this is the full moon closest to MAy 1st. J2 wants to be involved and so does Blaise (he's always followed the pagan way...) so that makes the four: 1. East/Air 2. North/Fire 3. West/Water 4. South/Earth. so Blaise will have to take on the north/fire element. which one do you resonate with? talk soon... T. ~~~ (My reply)
I'll take the East/Air thanks. Can I have fries, a pentacle and a shake with that? It's actually Samhain we'll be celebrating (it's Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere) this May 1st/2nd. Which is all the more poignant as Samhain is considered the Beginning of the Wiccan Year - and as we're starting this coven up just now...it seems rather fitting don't you think? It's also symbolic as a Death of the old... So, we're kinda saying goodbye to our old, out-moded ways of relating to life and the world. Bring on the new us - empowered, wicca'd and transformed!!! In effect, it's our 'Halloween' or Hallow's Eve...where the veil between worlds is at its most thinnest. So the physical, the astral and the causal are all very close together - a great time to take advantage of! Samhain represents the seeds from Summer just gone, firmly planted in the ground, awaiting their rising, and eventual blooming into a world of manifested reality. Among Wiccans, the most common Wheel of the Year narrative is that of the God/Goddess duality. In this cycle, the God is born from the Mother Goddess at Yule (Winter), grows in power at Vernal Equinox (along with the Goddess who has now returned to Earth as her Virgin aspect - late Winter/early Spring), courts and impregnates the Goddess (goodbye Virgin!) at Beltane (Spring - hence all the fucking in bushes ceremonies at this time!), enjoys the fruits of their garden at Midsummer, wanes in power at Lammas (late Summer/early Autumn), passes into the underworld at Samhain (Autumn), then is once again born from The Mother/Crone aspect of The Goddess at Yule (Winter). The Goddess, in turn, ages and rejuvenates endlessly with the seasons, being courted by and giving birth to the Horned God (Pan in some traditions). Versions of this myth vary from coven to coven, shifting the birth, conception, or death of the God to different Sabbats. This is all part of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year mythology. Samhain is seen as a festival of darkness and death, which is balanced at the opposite point of the wheel by the spring festival of Beltane, which Wiccans celebrate as a festival of life and fertility. For more info, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_the_Year So there you go...a little HerStory lesson before we get under(world)way! Being Libran (Air Sign) and very mind-oriented, Wind (Air/Mind) seems very suited to me. Being so 'solid' and grounded yourself, will you be taking Earth? J2 seems quite a calming being to me (ie: he's a good 'calmer'). Will he be taking Water (Calm/Emotions/Subconscious)? Blaise seems perfect for Fire! Can we also adopt Wiccan names? I'd love to take my internet 'handle' into the outer-real world - As you know, it's Omnitheus. Anyways - all sounds incredibly exciting. So definately count me in in this Wicca'd Ones of The Wand coven... Let the preparations commence - So mote it be! Blessed Be. OM. ps - Remind me one day to take you to these two gorgeous Wiccan shops in the city (Spellbox). Cool stuff there - amulets, herbs, crystals, athames (daggers/swords/wands), incense, books, etc. It'll be like you died and went to.....Witch 'heaven'? - Ours (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!) ***

Happy E-Star Kids!

Charltons Karaoke (old workplace). Song's (my boss's) surprise birthday party. Everyone there. Sang half-a-dozen songs for Song. The crowd loved me. Had them all wrapped around my little finger...as Song unwrapped his presents. Good to know I haven't lost 'it'. Crash Palace. Stumbling through the smoke and haze of a bubbling-over club. Surrounded by old friends. Embracing new ones. Crash into my 'croupier' on a crowded dancefloor. He introduces me to his girlfriend. Surreal. Unreal. Hyper-real. Coincidence or Coinci-Dance? Or Coincided Dance?! Somehow, somewhere, I lose my security blanket...my sunglasses. Must've been around the same time I lost my mind. A Lover's 'Trist' occurs before my very eyes... Tristan - not happy man. Twelve naked women dance on podiums all around us. Shaved, smooth vaginas thrusting into the faces of perplexed gay men. Crazy. Mad. Hilarious. End up on a super-packed, double-decker, English party bus. Madonna & Abba music blaring at a thousand decibals. Wave, scream & cheer at bewildered pedestrians on the streets. Funny. Fun. Dreamlike. Dance like a possessed maniac at Love Machine - the afterparty. Get into the groove with ex-lovers, all-the-while flirting with future ones? Ah, so that's why the club's called that. A sea of gyrating, blurry bodies...immersed in oceans of ecstasy. This one drop not excluded. Became one with the music, the madness, the mayhem. Got in at 4am Saturday morning...18 hours later. All up, 33 hours of surprises, non-stop action...and getting out amongst the people. Definately don't miss it all. But I can certainly appreciate & enjoy it all the more now seeing as it only happens once a blue moon...or, every third full solar eclipse. "Sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone in order to grow...quite like a caterpillar having to leave its chrysalis in order to become a butterfly."

One quite sore but smiling ever-ready E-Star bunny!

Another Point of You : OM

ps - Thank the Goddess I had the following two days to recuperate, recover and restore my wailing brain cells. Encountered several 'bewitching' synchroniticies featuring Fiona Horne (the self-proclaimed Witch). Begin to immerse myself in everything Wiccan. T. (best friend) wants to start up a coven soon. Funny then how the Universe begins gently nudging me towards Witchcraft at this present time. I've flirted with it all before...but now might be the time to look into it all again 'properly' (in effect - consumating a love I've only previously made eyes at...). Magickally Yours.... I AM.

My Time Starts Now

2006-10-09T19:58:00.000-07:00

*My earliest memory is...looking out from under the huge iron gates of my grandparents' home when I was a toddler. This was Manila, Philippines and I was totally fascinated by the sights, sounds and colours of the passing world out on the dirty, busy street. Sometimes I feel like I'm still looking out from under that gate.

*At school I...was always genuinely concerned for the welfare of my fellow classmates - making sure they were all comfortable and happy. As a young child I was very caring and compassionate.

*My first relationship was...nerve-racking, heartbreakingly beautiful, sweet, romantic, tender and it always seemed to be accompanied by classical music.

*I wish I'd never worn...out my 'Choose 1985' LP record.

*My mother told me...that to judge another was to simply point out what I didn't like in myself.

*I wish I had...even one regret.

*My most humiliating moment was...going out onto the stage to collect my 1st prize award for a talent quest in front of my entire high school only to realize that it wasn't even my name that was called out!

*At home I cook...pancakes for dinner.

*My last meal would be...rather irrelevant don't you think?

*I'm very bad at...conversations about sport or politics.

*I'm very good at...pretending to uphold illusions.

*When I was a child...I wanted to be an astronaut - because I always felt homesick.

*The book that changed my life is...'From Onions to Pearls' - Satyam Nadeen. I was 27 and this book played a huge part in shaking me awake.

*It's not fashionable, but I love...hanging out on my own.

*Friends say I am...out of touch with (consensus) reality - and thank god for that!

*The song I'd like played at my funeral is...'Ray of Light' by Madonna - I'd want people to do what I'd spent my entire life doing : Dancing!

*If only I could...stay lucid within The Dream.

*The last big belly laugh I had was...at work. We're always laughing there.

*What I don't find amusing is...cruelty to animals.

*I'm always being asked...if I'm a girl or a boy.

*If I wasn't me...I'd know what it was like to be the whole infinite & eternal universe.

*At the moment I'm listening to...'The Horrible Fanfare/Landslide/Exoskeleton' from Beck's new album 'The Information' - ten & a half minutes of profound, sublime strangeness.

*At the moment I'm reading...'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle. Insightful, powerful, loving & wonderfully crystal-clear.

*My favourite work of art is...'The Voice of the Winds' - Rene Magritte, 1928 (Oil on canvas)

*If I were a car I'd be...the DeLorean from 'Back To The Future'.

*I often wonder...about the ONEder of it All...

Saw the above questionaire in a newspaper and thought how fun it would be to do it myself.

Angels Playing Snap?

2006-09-26T19:02:00.000-07:00

Life's A Deck Of Cards.

For the past six months now, something rather beautifully peculiar has been popping up (literally) on my path.

Almost on a weekly basis, I'm finding ordinary playing cards on my path (on the street). Usually I'll find one a week, though sometimes two.

Why this is strange to me is that I'm also an amateur Tarot reader (as in, I don't charge), and playing cards have their equivalent in the Tarot Deck.

So, for instance when I happened upon a '3 Of Diamonds' face up & upright on the sidewalk in front of me the other day, I knew this corresponded to '3 Of Pentacles' - (Working as a team; co-operation; combined efforts; teamwork; planning; competence; etc.) The next day, I got a phone call from The Maya Project telling me that I better get myself organised for our next Dance/Healing Festival coming up soon. They asked me if I wanted to do another workshop? The card on my path merely gave me a little hint as to what was coming up, and to prepare myself for it...

I create it, then the YOUniverse reflects my choices, possibilities and decisions back to me via reality, or to be more precise : signs, symbols, and in my case - cards.

I mean, the chances of finding single traditional playing cards on the street?! Exactly who's playing cards out there on the road? Angels playing snap?

I'm just thankful for such an interactive YOUniverse.

Another Point of You : I AM

ps - Though I do have a question for any Tarot Readers out there. Yesterday, I came across a 'Jack Of Hearts'. This confused me because I wasn't sure if it corresponded to 'Page of Cups' or 'Knight Of Cups'. My intuition tells me that the 'Jacks' from the traditional playing cards can mean either Pages or Knights depending on the situation, and for me I felt more inclined to go with the Page (one book I consulted even told me a Page can pertain to a young, male homosexual - which made me laugh...and anyone who knows me well will know why!!!) Either way, apparently a new romance is about to bloom...so I'll keep y'all posted! (and I'll keep my eye out for any Jacks on the horizon - ha ha!) But still, I'd love to hear from any readers who have an opinion on all of this.

...Still Shining

2006-08-08T19:12:00.000-07:00

At work, I put up weekly sayings or quotes to inspire, amuse or uplift. I've been doing this for over a year now. Recently, a woman has been coming in and has been quite vocal about how much she disagrees with various sayings. This I have no problem with. She's free to disagree with them. I myself may in turn disagree with what she may say about them...but I will fight unto death her right to say it.

But the other day, her negativity finally got to me. I realise it's her choice to be pessimistic, and that she represents (is a physical manifestation of) my own negativity (& dualistic nature), but I finally just had to say something (after remaining silent for so long).

The quote in question is: "The light from the one Sun is reflected in the billion lakes below."

She saw it and shook her head, remarking that there are also dark clouds that can be reflected - massive, storm clouds looming above that can go to influence the appearance of the lakes' surfaces.

Her view did not anger or annoy me...as I could see the truth in what she said. But I also saw through the illusion of it too.

So (and without really thinking), I responded with, "Yes, but above the darkest clouds, one must remember that the Sun still shines..."

Regardless of what obstacles float in the sky of one's perceptions, or however dark the night of the soul appears to be...The Sun...still shines.

The woman was momentarily stunned and speechless. Then we both just laughed...at the ridiculousness, the profundity, and the wonder of it All.

After this exchange, which in an instant transformed us both for eternity, I simply went back to 'chopping wood & carrying water'...

Who's Dreaming Who?

2006-07-04T18:11:00.000-07:00

In deep stasis somewhere in deep space, the Starman lies in his simulation pod...stirring ever so slightly. Around the warm walls of his womb, an incandescent lilac glow pulses and breathes like a living organism. As the starship glided silently through the dark recesses of space, a dream came alive in the mind of the Starman. In the time it took for his three hearts to beat a total of thirty-three times, the Starman lived out a life on a made-up planet...playing out an illusory character on an illusory world...

Thirty-three light years away however, on a beautiful blue & white suspended orb, lay a human being fast asleep in his all-too-real, earthly bed. And he dreamt of being a Starman - in deep stasis somewhere in deep space, dreaming he was human...

Simultaneously, both the human and the Starman stirred within their respective worlds - awakening and becoming lucid within each others' dreams - becoming One across time & space, form & matter, illusion & reality...

As Above, So Below.
As Within, So Without.
As in Dreams, So in Life.
As you are, So I AM.

LIGHTen UP

2006-05-16T20:02:00.000-07:00

"Bloom where you are planted." (Chinese Proverb)

I've taken a lot of 'questionable' jobs knowing full well that they may be dull or tedious, or even dangerous or soul-sucking. Partly for the money (which I thought I 'needed' at the time), but mostly (and I think my Higher Self played more of a part in this than my 'ego-self' did), for the experience.

Within all the 'darkest' places I've ever worked, my Lucid Self (Aware Self) knew what I perhaps didn't know at the time - that I was there simply to shine my Light. And to experience Humility (the breaking down of my adolescent, know-it-all ego/persona). The reason was two-fold : To meet and speak with people I might not have chosen to consciously mingle with, and share with them ideas and information of a more philosophical or spiritual nature (ie: I-opening or mind-expanding). And to do all this without judgement, self-doubt, and self-righteousness. In other words - to just be myself...wherever I was.

I've lent 'spiritual' books to toilet cleaners, listened to the dreams of waitresses in hamburger joints, and suggested meditation retreats to patrons of a gay sex sauna!

Whether or not they would have manifested their help-sign in their lives without me is irrelevant - that they did through me...is what matters. And I learnt an awful lot in the process too. To find myself on my hands and knees alone cleaning up rubbish on a cinema floor at the stroke of midnight on my 19th birthday...well, you can just imagine how humbling that would have been. Really, I just had to laugh (in other words - to LIGHTen up!). It (and many other much more horrid experiences than that!) have made me a more understanding, caring & compassionate human (one of the lessons I came into this incarnation for?). On the other side of the coin, driving home in tears one night a decade ago after an excruciatingly awful gig where I was abused, insulted and terrorised...has also invariably strengthened my character. That one event also provided me with many other revelations about myself that I would have otherwise may not have come to had I not gone through that particular experience (namely, rising above 'victim consciousness', understanding unconditional love & forgiveness, etc...)

In the end, it's not what you've done in your life that matters...it's how you did it; and what you've learnt; and how much Love did you give and become; and how much did you smile & give others reason to smile; and how much did you shine?

Whether it's flipping pancakes or being a featured writer for New Age Magazine...I've learnt that every circumstance & situation is an opportunity to BE Love.

And the infinite wealth in your own heart eventually translates into a reflected YOUniverse where the received wealth in your reality directly corresponds to that which you yourself give out, whether that be via your time, your wisdom, or your priceless love...

It's all relative and illusory anyway. The head CEO of a multi-national corporation may be spritually starved and deeply depressed & suicidal, whilst a windscreen washer at the traffic lights down the street may be the happiest & most content person in the whole world. Then again, maybe not. It's all about perception...

Whatever I've done, I've ultimately done for a reason. I've done things which I now know have 'evolved' me, and I've passed up on things because, well, I just wasn't 'supposed' to do them (as is evident from the fact that I didn't do them). Nothing happens by accident...My 'Higher Self' (for want of a better term...) drives the car (my body)...whilst my ego is that opinionated back-seat driver...who 'thinks' he's driving.

Whichever one you identify with more is up to you (as they are all You...yet not really). All I can leave you with is this - The YOUniverse 'out there' is a reflection of You within. If you want 'out there' to look a certain way...then simply choose to BE a certain way within. "As Within, So Without".

The Magic Mirror of form, space & matter is merely awaiting yOUR instructions, for the 'program' cannot run without its programmer...

"The first & last step to EnLightenment...is to just LIGHTen Up."

Another Point of You : I AM.
OM...

ps(st) - Love the YOUniverse in all-ways, and the YOUniverse will always invariably find ways of loving YOU back...for both are ONE and the same...

ps(sst) - "Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action to all eternity" ~ Johann Kaspar Lavater, Swiss theologian (1741 - 1801)

ps(ssst) - In regards to 'energy centers' - jobs, cities & their vibrations...All areas/territories have their places of Light (as well as Dark). You have all been called to where you are Presently...to BE that Lighthouse, that beacon in the darkness, that guiding, Shining Star.

You are always called/attracted to the place you're most needed. And you will stay there until your 'mission' is complete. Then you will simply move onto the next phase of your Light Journey ~ So you can continue shining your glowing Radiance out onto the world...where it's most needed.

BE Peace, express Peace & be at Peace knowing You are exactly where You are supposed to be at present, for it is YOUr Presence that is your Gift to the World Right Now. BE the Peace you wish to see in yOUR YOUniverse.

A ONEderful mantra I always say to myself is: "Peace, hOMe & Happiness is wherever I AM."

Re-Born An'You : I AM

~~~

~The Legend Of Omnitheus~

Omnitheus ~ The shapeshifting, androgynous one, was created from the combined efforts of The Pleiades - the seven daughters of the Titan, Atlas. They were: Maia, Electra, Taygete, Celeno, Merope, Asterope and Alcyone. At this time, the world was undergoing an era of fragmentation where mortals (and even gods) began believing that they were separate from ONE another. At Maia's insistence (the only sister who fully understood that the earthly realm was all but a grand illusion), a being was conceived, with full remembrance intact, that All & Everyone was, is, and always will be...GOD (The ONE Being many).

Hence Omnitheus was born : 'Omni' - Latin meaning 'All/Every'; and 'Theos' - Greek meaning 'God'.

Vibrating into existence through the central vortex of Alcyone's heart-light, Omnitheus was carried to Earth within the mouth of Maia. Upon reaching this newly-formed planet, Maia was met at the gates by Zephyrus (the gentle west wind). As they kissed in greeting, Omnitheus was exchanged, and later brought to Earth's surface within the smile of this beloved Zephyr.

Before leaving (to resume her place in the night sky), Maia was to meet the all-powerful father of the gods - the supreme deity & sky god, Zeus. They were to fall in love and have one son - Hermes (the messenger god).

Before the birth of Hermes however, Zeus (a rather prolific lover...with an insatiable taste for variety!) met Mnemosyne (also a Titan, and the goddess of memory), and together, they brought The Muses into the world. Each of the nine daughters had her own special field - Clio was the Muse of history, Urania of astronomy, Melpomene of tragedy, Thalia of comedy, Terpischore of dance, Calliope of epic poetry, Erato of love poetry, Polyhymnia of sacred song, and Euterpe of lyric poetry.

Zephyrus carried Omnitheus through the blissful lands of the Hyperboreans to Mt. Olympus, and eventually left the androgynous one at the footsteps of The Temple of The Muses...where s/he was to be mentored, cared for and raised by them.

Meanwhile, Hermes was to grow up and marry the goddess of love, Aphrodite (who had been born from the sea). Yearning for a child, they went to see the Delphic Oracle of the time - the gifted but tragic seer Cassandra. Cassandra had been endowed with prophecy by the mighty Phoebus Apollo in exchange for the promise of her love. When she broke her word, he punished her by decreeing that her prophecies, however true, would never be believed.

Cassandra told Hermes & Aphrodite that if they failed to work as one, their first child would be the result of what they themselves couldn't achieve - that of opposites merged in unison. They ignored her prediction, argued for weeks, and in their minds and hearts, went their own separate ways - never once even making the effort to agree on anything (except for their desire to have a child).

Hermes prayed for a boy. Aphrodite wished for a girl. Omnitheus, seeing this as the perfect opportunity for a first incarnation, shapeshifted into their first child...later growing up to become a beautiful, bisexual boy. He excited the passion of Salmacis (the fountain nymph) but ignored her advances. Salmacis prayed to the gods that she might be eternally united with him. The wish was granted when he bathed in some waters and she merged with him physically. Omnitheus emerged from the river as Hermaphroditos...the world's first girl-boy.

The next incarnation (or expression) for Omnitheus was as the god of love - Eros (later known to the Romans as Cupid). 'The fairest of the deathless gods', Eros was often attributed to be another son of Aphrodite but in reality, he was merely her beloved companion. His origins date even further back - as he was one of the first three immortal beings - along with Erebos (god of darkness) and Gaea (mother earth) - all three of which had sprung from Chaos. Eros had travelled through the cosmic portal of the light fantastic connecting the Milky Way galaxy and the Constellation of Lyra.

Transcending linear time & space, it was Eros (love) whose great beauty inspired the creation of many of the deathless gods. By his arrows and torch he pierced and vivified all things producing life and joy. He enjoyed making as much mischief as he could by firing his arrows of passion into the hearts of gods and humans alike. To continue playing with all the various gods and mortals however, Eros kept his universal beginnings to himself. The paradox was : Was Omnitheus playing the part of Eros...or Eros, Omnitheus?

All is One once paradox is transcended and all duality collapsed.

After much trial & tribulation (and after an eventual blessing by Zeus), Eros found eternal love with the beautiful human princess Psyche (soul), but not before embarking on a tryst with the volatile god of war - Ares (the Roman god, Mars). It was through this brief homosexual union that Eros also became the patron divinity of the Sacred Band of Thebes - a group of 150 pairs of lovers who were all killed by the Macedonian army at the battle of Chaeronia in 338 BC. It was also due to this 'special friendship' that many mistook Eros to be the son of Ares. Sensing the strong connection between Eros & Ares (another of her many lovers), Aphrodite (the now supremely jealous goddess) was a principal player in trying to keep Eros & Psyche apart. Her efforts in the end proved futile, as Zeus had the final word.

For a long time, Psyche had been forbidden by Eros to ever look upon him. "If you behold me, perhaps you would adore me, but all I ask of you is to love me. I would rather you loved me as an equal than revere me as a god," he once told her. When one night, she broke his command, he fled, proclaiming that "Love cannot live where there is no trust." Eros is also often depicted as blindfolded...as in 'Love is blind'.

The eventual marriage between Eros & Psyche portrays and symbolises the transformation of the human soul through the power of love. And in the end, Love & Soul had a child...whose name was Joy.

Next, Omnitheus shapeshifted into a pool of water. It was by this pool that the nymph Echo lived. She had displeased the mighty goddess & queen of heaven - Hera (Zeus' main wife), by chattering and gossiping too much, hence, Hera had taken away her powers of speech except in answer to another's voice. And even then, she could only repeat the last words spoken.

Through her woods daily walked an extraordinarily, beautiful, young man named Narcissus. Echo fell deeply in love with him but Narcissus could love no-one but himself, "I am the one everyone else loves in vain," he once said to the stunning image in the pool of water.

"Vain!" cried Echo sorrowfully - whispering a silent prayer to the gods that this proud young man might one day know what it was like to love in vain. And the gods heard...

Omnitheus' liquid sur'face' reflected back to Narcissus, the image of all that he was in love with - the beautiful yet transient, the solid yet transparent, the physically perfect yet internally flawed.

Narcissus spent days, weeks, years admiring his reflection - at the cost of never discovering and expressing his own love & beauty within. When finally, trying to kiss the devastatingly handsome young man looking back at him, Narcissus fell...not in love...but to his death. Nemesis the goddess of retribution, transformed him into the flower which bears his name - thus causing him to spend the rest of eternity gazing upon himself in the face of Omnitheus.

As for Echo, she still pines away, though nothing is left of her except her voice; and even to this day she is still allowed the last word...

"Word"

Other roles of Omnitheus have been:

*Ganymede - The handsome, Trojan boy/prince with whom Zeus became so besotted with that he disguised himself as a great eagle to steal him away, flying the prince up to Mount Olympus to be his cupbearer. Ganymede thus became Zeus' lover, and gained his immortality as the constellation Aquarius, the water-carrier. Ganymede is alternatively known as the largest & most majestic satellite of Jupiter, around which, 'he' will spend the rest of his days revolving. In Greek mythology, the mighty Jupiter was known as Zeus...

*Hephaestion - 'Conquerer' of Alexander The Great. He was able to bring Alexander to his knees time and time again...not through war, but through love.

*Tommaso de' Cavalieri - 'Paragon of all the world', he was companion, lover & muse of the great painter and sculptor, Michelangelo Buonarroti.

*Close confidante of Pandora. When once, her curiosity got the better of her, she asked Omnitheus if she should open her box (which had been a gift from the gods - handed to her by Eris, the goddess of discord). He answered her, "Until all polarities are transcended and understood as One, peace can only exist after conflict, joy after sorrow, and health after disease. But in order to rise above duality, humanity must firstly immerse itself within it."

And so Pandora's box was opened...and The ONE became the two, and all across the world, people experienced their first day...and night; light & dark; good & evil; love & fear...

~~~

Omnitheus once went to visit the Delphic Oracle Cassandra, to learn of his fate. She told him/her, "yOUR fate is determined by the choices you make. I can tell you however, if you choose to believe me, that your next entry into a conscious expression within this dream-realm will take place during an energy-portal way into the future. Your arrival will come amidst a total solar eclipse, and a new moon, thousands of years from now - on the 29th day of the third month, in the year 2006 AD. Like a mandala is to the shaman, this timely passing of Luna between Gaea and Helios (or Sol - the Sun) shall act as your gateway into a time largely ruled by the goddess of discord - Eris. Like a phoenix bird rising from its own ashes, on this day, Omnitheus, The ONE Being many, shall too be reborn...
Know this too - In The End, which of course will be yOUR Beginning...you will come to realize (that is, you will see with your 'real-eyes') that you are not just this or that character in the story...but ALL characters in ALL stories. You are not only the whole rainbow, you are also ALL the colours that comprise the rainbow... The great cosmic poem that is the YOUniverse cannot exist unless every single individual verse is read, felt, experienced, healed, owned, and thus loved. yOUR Destiny Omnitheus, is to Re-Member and YOUnify...to Know Thy SELF."

Omnitheus did not believe a single word Cassandra had said...until many centuries later, when all her prophecies came to pass.

GOD, Behold! ~ The face of YOU...everywhere 'you' look.

The ONE Being many : I AM

Coastin' Through A Dream

2006-03-20T16:25:00.000-08:00

Arrived on the Gold Coast (QLD, Aust.) five days ago (Thurs., March 16) for mother's 60th birthday party (which was Saturday night). It's been lovely catching up with the family, seeing my adorable nephews, and cousins/relatives (some of whom I haven't seen for almost ten years!), and spending some quality time with my best friend Tristan who now lives in Brisbane (was rather blissful to share a beach sunset with him on Sunday afternoon). He and I even caught up with one of my other old best friends - Drew. It was wonderful seeing him again - he has the same quirky sense of humour and it was rather surreal to have the original Brissie Boys Trio reunited again (however briefly). I have so many fantastic memories of the times spent with these two cherished friends of mine.

It was also great catching up with May & Clarissa (my cousins whom I lived with for years in Brisbane when I was a teenager - oh the fun & laughter in that household!). They both have children now - and such sweet little things they are too. It's always a treat seeing my sister and her boys, my mother, and 'little' brother - Angelo (who's not quite the baby anymore). I even got to meet his girlfriend and her family on Saturday night (Aleisha?) To think he's only 17 and already with a steady girlfriend ("Quicker than a ray of light...I'm flying") Life truly seems to be on Fast Forward!

I visited Jason's grave on Saturday mo(u)rning (my cousin who killed himself late last year). It was strange to be standing in front of his tombstone knowing that his physical expression was buried deep below. We were inseparable as toddlers yet we both grew into two vastly different people.

Saturday night was fun. Around 60 guests, HEAPS of food, lots of singing, dancing and laughing. May and I hogged the karaoke machine for most of the night (and it was like we had never stopped singing together!) Children were running around everywhere, Benji was eating up everyone's fallen scraps, balloons were popping, age gaps were bridged, and I was wearing my new lilac eyes.

After the party, Trist and went out to a club in Surfer's Paradise. My goodness, was the music too loud...or am I just getting old?! Coincidentally cool was the fact that as soon as we walked in, they began playing my favourite remix of Madonna's 'Sorry' (The Green Velvet Remix)! We had a bit of a boogie, had a bit of a perve'n'flirt-fest, and funnily enough - bumped into a few people we knew. Trist (who might I add is in a relationship!) graciously carried out a community service by providing a pash for a guy (a Kavana/teen idol lookalike) who was celebrating his 20th birthday that night (Aah, Tristan - always the selfless saint! ~ Love ya bud - you naughty, free-spirited boy!). Then we went for a stroll up the main drag to take in some eye-candy. Trist's comment to me, "You always get the straight guys checking you out!" warranted the suitable retort from me, "Yeah, it's the curse I've carried all my life!" They always check me out, but only one out of ten have the balls to go exploring mine (Ha ha!) There's a lot of curious types out there...but also a lot of scaredy cats!

Next day we went to see 'Aeon Flux' (with Droops). Charlize Theron looks hot as a brunette! (Though they could've given her 'magic' ball-bearings more screen time!) And on Monday I went shopping with Mum (who bought me a Buddha incense/candle meditation set - bless her heart), then I went to the beach with my beautiful sister and nephew (who's so uber-adorable!). It was nice to just sit on a warm beach in the sun with them both, making sand butterflies. My sis is one of the closest people in the world to me and I love her dearly.

Coming home on Monday night was a little melancholy actually. On the plane though, I concocted a little story in my head (a future book perhaps?) about a plane touching down in Melbourne, with all the passengers having passed through some bizarre time anomaly thus causing them to land exactly one year prior. The government, once having realised what had happened keeps them all in quarantine (by putting them up in a plush, secret hotel) whilst scientists, physicists and religious leaders try to figure out what to do with them. As they've returned one year earlier, their doubles (their original selves) are still out and about going about their daily lives. Can we allow the 'returners' to contact their doubles, or even anyone for that matter? Can we allow them to tamper with the original timeline? Would stopping any of the originals from boarding that fateful plane result in the death/disappearance of the returners (because there'd be no-one to return)? Would the government employ these returners to supply information about the upcoming year, in turn making them some type of secret prophets group? Can the media ever be allowed to cover this 'time-breaking' story? Could one (or more) escape the 'plush hotel in military-controlled lock down' to make contact with the outside world - namely with themselves? Would the entire universe implode if this was to occur? See, who needs a little digital TV for hire (at $10!), when you can just use your fertile imagination (for free)!?

Anyways, I couldn't seem to shake off the idea that as soon as we touched down in Melbourne, the Australian equivalent of the FBI would be waiting for us at the terminal, whereupon we'd all be whisked away to some undisclosed location. Or getting home, turning my key in the front door, going inside, turning on my light, and waking up my original self who's sleeping soundly in his/my/our bed!

All the same, as I was riding in the taxi in the middle of the night throughout Melbourne's quiet streets, a certain, undefinable solemness came over me...and I could hear some accompanying Michael Nyman soundtrack music in my head (like I was being driven through 'Wonderland' or something...). I hardly ever get sad, but for those few minutes...I was, though I really don't know why. Many a Dreamer has been fooled by their own projections...

Then I went to sleep within a dream...and woke up the next day lucid again.

And Here,
I AM.

Before/Now/After

2006-01-17T15:47:00.000-08:00

BEFORE:

Xmas was nice & quiet. On Christmas Day, I found myself watching a very peculiar 1960s movie on TV - about Santa Claus being kidnapped from Earth by Martians so that the children of Mars could enjoy Christmas too. Very weird, and very early Star Trek-inspired. Let's just put it this way - the special effects weren't that special. And thankfully I wasn't on drugs!

I managed to get four days off in a row though (which really did restore my faith in God - ha ha).

My best friend (Trist) was down from Queensland, so rather than spending several days in the land of lavender (Daylesford) which I was planning to, I stayed in Melbourne. My friend dragged me all over town - parties, exclusive film premieres, dinners, catch-ups, etc. It was quite fun. And it was good to spend some time with him again. He even managed to get his hands on Madonna's new doco, "I'm Going To Tell You A Secret". We laughed, we cried, were enthralled, and amazed. It was a splendid end to the year.

New Year's Eve/Day was non-eventful. But very peaceful... Which is just what I wanted. Crazily, the mercury here rose to a ridiculous forty-three degrees (celcius) on the last day of 2005! It was like walking around inside an oven!

There is however something which I'm very grateful for - my new friendship with a certain someone (though I've actually known them for almost a year now). This person can brighten up my day a billion-fold with just a single smile. At this stage, this is all I'm prepared to say:

"Do you notice how in awe I am of you?
Watching fondly, all and everything you do...
Taking snapshots in my mind of every second shared,
Revealing more & more with every truth I dare."

NOW:

Am sitting in an Internet Cafe. That Gorillaz album is on bloody repeat. Couldn't we have some Brahms please lady? It's twenty-seven degrees outside - a beautiful, sunny Melbourne day. White, puffy clouds lazily float across the sky. I've just bought a second-hand CD : Tom Jones' "Reload" (the one where he 'duets' with the likes of Portishead, The Cardigans, Natalie Imbruglia, Mouse T. and Robbie Williams). Sometimes I get in a particular artist-zone...and this week, it seems to be (weirdly enough) Tom Jones. Go figure. The week before that, it was the Norweigan band : A-Ha (whose new 'Analogue' album is simply dreamy...). Am also currently loving the song: 'Love Generation' by Bob Sinclar (yay - he's finally got a crossover hit!). So summery, so uplifting, so 'now'... Am also deeply thrilled that the film 'Brokeback Mountain' won a Golden Globe for Best Film last night. Yee ha - Ride 'em Cowboys!

On my Discman at the moment: 'God Is A DJ' by Pink. Totally rocks!

Work's fine. The family's fine. And my friends are their usual crazy selves. Have been remembering my dreams a lot again lately (seemed to have gone through a dry spell there for a while...). Even had a lucid dream on the weekend - spurred on by an incredible, deep red & black, total solar eclipse. It was amazing to watch. Quite celestial indeed.

Down the street, several minutes ago - I saw the person who I've had a secret slight crush on for the past few months. The last time I saw this person was at our last Maya Project Festival (uncannily enough, they were seated with friends - right next to my group!). Quite synchronistic indeed, for I had just finished photocopying some things for the next festival.

Have also just picked up some stuff in preparation for my Maya Project presentation this Sunday...

AFTER:

This Sunday I'll be giving a Crop Circles Presentation/Discussion at the third Maya Project festival. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm not that nervous about it (I was petrified about my last Lucid Dreams Workshop! - 'coz I hadn't spoken in public for ages) Once I get started about Crop Formations though - it'll be impossible to shut me up really.

We had almost a thousand people come to the last one (in October), so it should be another big event. For more info regarding Maya Project, see:

http://lucid-dream-log.blogspot.com/2005/04/maya-zing.html
http://www.mayaproject.com/

Hmm - Wonder if 'secret slight crush' will be there this time...

Am looking forward to seeing 'Memoirs Of A Geisha' next week with Marcel. I read the book several years ago. The film looks thoroughly luscious, stunning & spell-binding.

It's my sister's birthday in a few weeks - Hmmm, wonder if she's still a devout Jehova's Witness?

Another interesting development has me meeting up with a casting agent in the next few weeks. A woman who has been coming into my work lately with her gorgeous baby girl (Grace), always asks me what I'm up to with my singing and writing etc., and that I should pursue more acting work. It seems that one of the reasons why someone has given me a TV recently, is for this particular synchronicity:

One night I'm watching 'Charmed' (love that show), and an ad came on. I recognised the woman in the ad as the one who comes into my work. A few days later, I mention that I saw her, and how surprised I was (that she has never mentioned her own acting work). We then get to talking and she says that she wants to organise a meeting with myself and her agent.

It'll be fun to get back into it all again. I've done TV work before in QLD (even had a one-line part in an American show called 'Timezone'), appeared in Karaoke video clips (the highlight of my career!), and done vocals for various radio jingles. So it's not as if it's all new to me. That meeting will be happening soon...so I'm quite excited about it...

My ultimate goal? - To play an alien/human hybrid in 'Charmed'...(with magical powers of course!)

***

So there you go : What happened 'before', what's happening 'now', and what's happening 'after'... Not incredibly groundbreaking really - but I just wanted to update this thread. I mean Xmas is just so last year!

May all yOUR Dreams...be lucid ones.

ONE in an infinity of ways : I AM.

Happy Mass-Christ-Consciousness

2005-12-04T23:57:00.000-08:00

"The Second Coming will not involve just one Christ...but 6.8 billion Christs acting as ONE."

I use Christ-Mass as a reminder to my Self of how many 'Christs' are walking the Earth at this time (roughly around 6.8 billion) - ie: Christ is here en mass.

Ok, so not every one of these Christ-Beings are aware of this. Some have forgotten. Some Re-Member. Some ignore it. And some Be/Live it...

My definition of a 'Christ' is someONE who is ONE with not just 'some' but with ALL. A Being who understands their undeniable connection with the Infinite YOUniverse. A Lucid, Awake, A consciously Aware Being who sees through the veil and knows All is ONE, and that All is a reflection of every 'ONE'. Christ is not a supreme being...but a supreme state of Being.

Jesus was (and is) not the only Christ - just the most publicised...

To the unveiled YOUniversALL Being whose eyes skim along these very words right now...

NAMASTE.

The Divine ONE within 'me', recognises, appreciates and loves the Divine ONE within 'you'...

~~~

And 'Christmas' is not the only time I celebrate this Knowing - It's merely the bright red ribbon surrounding a beautiful gift...and within this Present, you'll find every other day of the year...for the past & future can always be found within the present...

Happy Mass-Christ-Consciousness every ONE.

The ONE Being many : I AM.

~~~

A 'Christ' knows they are ONE with All. The man once known as Yeshua ben Yoseph (Jesus) knew this. There are those 'Christs' who remember...and then there are those suffering from severe amnesia. Handy Hint # 33 : The true aim of any Christ is not in trying to prove to you how much of a Christ 'they' are, but in trying to show you how much of a Christ You are... Always use that as your 'Christometer'.

Another (Laughing Buddha) Point of You : I AM.

OM...

Permanent 'Solution' - Temporary Problem

2005-11-13T00:16:00.000-08:00

My cousin killed himself on Tuesday morning at 4am (Nov. 8th), by throwing himself off a hotel balcony at Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast (my home town)...

I've grown up with him for most of my life (we were born in the same year) - sharing the same cot, going to the same school, living with him throughout my teenage years (our families shared the same house), etc.

Even though we were close when we were young...he gradually became more and more reclusive and quiet and eventually broke himself off from our extended family. He had body issues (going from skinny to overly muscular - hurting his body in the process of trying to attain the perfect 'vehicle') and from what I remember, he always felt inadequate and worthless.

Even though I hadn't seen him in years (I'm now in Melbourne)...for the past week (before I found out) - I'd been waking up at exactly 4am, and on Tuesday (also without consciously knowing why), I went to see a film called 'Stay' - eerily enough, about a young guy who plans to commit suicide. When everything came to light and I found out...I felt closer to him than I ever have. Had this been his way of saying goodbye?

I can't stop seeing the fall through his eyes - what it would have been like for him...the thoughts that continually ran through his mind for him to even contemplate ending his precious life. It's truly inspired me to live my own life more fully - so that he can continue to experience the beauty of this planet through my eyes...so that he can continue living, and loving, and being...through me.

I've also had dreams where I was there whilst he's stood in spirit looking at his own mangled body in the physical. He's sad. He's confused. He sees the lifeless body that he waited eons to 'inhabit' - so that he could experience the wonders of this realm. He wonders if he's wasted a golden opportunity. He sees the many people who are still in the physical - crying for him, missing him, and all wondering what more they could have done to make him smile...and laugh. And etheric tears roll down his etheric face. He tries to reach out to them, to console & comfort them, to hold them. But their grief, shock and sadness blocks out his cries.

I take his hand in mine. I apologise for never having been around enough in the later years - when he most needed a friend. I let him watch for the last time, as his body is carted away. He's shaking his head in shame and remorse. I gently tell him that the worst judgement he'll ever receive from anyone is that which he bestows upon himself. Angels can only love...without condition.

I turn to the stream of Light opening behind us. I tell him that I'm there to help guide him home. I walk/float/fly with him. Then I hug him. For the last time. Yet I know it's also for the first time...

I tell him I can't go into the Portal of Light with him, that I've got important stuff still to do back in Simulation Earth. I tell him that he's never alone, and that we're never separate, for we, along with everyone else...are ONE.

I smile the most sincerest and most encouraging smile I've ever been moved to give. He turns...and, into The Light...he becomes.

***

Apart from my cousin, I also lost my father to suicide when I was 12. So you could say that this subject lies very close to home for me. I firmly believe that suicide (from a third-dimensional point of view) is unfortunately, a permanent 'solution'...to a merely temporary problem.

I'm certainly not judging those who choose to take their own lives...but I can't help thinking that if only we could all make one another smile that one time more, encourage and inspire and uplift each other just that little bit more, let one another know just how beautiful they are as they are, and let them know how loved they truly are...

Well then, maybe, just maybe...we'd give someone in the world, whether it be a loved one or a stranger on a bus, that one small reason to never want to consciously leave a place of such beauty and promise and joy.

Giving someone a smile may just save their life...

***

Thank You everyone & anyone for having reached the end of this post. I've cried as I've typed these words - both out of sadness, and of hope & joy. It was heart-wrenching for me to write - yet ultimately, very healing ~ for me...and I'm sure for my old friend & departed cousin who's now Being in The Light.

Jason - wherever 'you' are...always know this - We are always, and in all ways...ONE.
Be, Heal, and Rest In Peace...

Love Charles.

A Re-Birth Day

2005-10-18T19:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, the 18th of October (Gregorian Calendar-wise), this incarnation of mine turned 32. I don't pay all that much attention to 'birthdays' anymore (I think they're more for everyone around you than for the person actually having it...), and besides, is not EVERY day the birth of a brand new You?

But anyways, for the purpose of appearing human...I'll place focus on the day that was yesterday - the day my 'vehicle' attained 32 solar rotations upon this planet...

It really was a rather beautiful day. It seemed as if time slowed right down, and I got to do so much. It started with my mother ringing me at 6:30am to wish me my first Happy Birthday. I then went into the city (Melbourne) to shout myself a few things: A new Crop Circle calendar for next year; a house-warming prezzie for a friend of mine - Marcel; and some CDs (which I'll go into detail about later). I had lunch at the always-lovely 'Crossways' (a Hare Krishna restaurant), went into and walked out of the film, "Nightwatch" (the tired duality of Good vs. Evil literally just bored the hell & heaven out of me!), then spent an hour or so lying in the sunshine in a park. Melbourne was blessed with gorgeous weather - sunny, blue skies and 24 degrees. Aaah - Pure Bliss. Then I went for a haircut (symbolically getting rid of the out-moded, over-flowing, and 'old'), then, in what seems to be a type of tradition for me on my birthday - I went to see a weepie-film: "In Her Shoes" (starring Toni Collette, Cameron Diaz & Shirley Maclaine). Last year, I went to see "The Notebook" and walked home in tears. Thankfully, yesterday I wasn't that bad! I still came out of the cinema sniffling and teary though.

Then I visited an internet site dedicated to one of my favourite Australian fantasy/sci-fi writers, and one in which I've been a member of for years...and there was a new thread full of birthday wishes for me from many people in that beautiful cyber-community. It capped off a perfect day.

One of the beautiful souls on that board (who has become a great friend & reflection over the years), Moonchild, started the thread off with her own unique blessing (by the way, I'm known as 'ShaMandala' there):

***

~*JOY-o-US Birth day Shamandala*~

“Sha-spirit, Sha-spirit, Calling you, timeless one. Seeing me, reflected in you. Seeing you, reflected in me. Knowing we are all one. All is perfect as it is.

Dancing through the universe, Spinning in your rainbow light vehicle. Igniting this wonderous dream with infinite wisdom. Decoding the symbology of our words, To open the doors of our perception.”

Namaste Bhratar,

May ye be blessed with a JOY-o-US Gregorian Anniversary Celebration.

Thank you for the gift of your beingness.

*CHEEZY GRIN*
*ALL-ENCOMPASSING LOVE, LAUGHTER AND BLISS FILLED HUG with MOON SPRINKLES*

Ya soul sista Moon

It was really all quite deLightful. My eyes misted over for the second time yesterday! And it was so heart-warming & cute to see several people breaking up words & capitalising various syllables for effect (which is what I do a lot, and am known for...)

During the day, I received text-messages & emails from friends & family. Each one brought a smile to my face.

Then I was whisked off to an undisclosed location - a sanctuary deep in the middle of nowhere. Peaceful, quiet, meditative, calm, secluded and blissful. Perfect. A ONEderful ending to a ONEdrous day.

~~~

The Day's Soundrack:

I bought several albums yesterday. One band I've recently discovered (and Thank You Melina for bringing their album into work the other day...) is 'The Cat Empire' - a band funnily enough, from Melbourne, Australia. Their music is just so vibrant, uplifting, joyous, carefree and wild - think a cross between Ben Lee & Jamiroquai fronting a crazy Cuban band, and you've almost got their sound. They can go from 1920s rag-time to Latin American to jazz to indie to reggae all in the space of one song! I bought both their debut album, as well as their second, 'Two Shoes' (which was actually recorded in Cuba)...uber-Latino fun, totally infectious, and excitingly eclectic!

A real surprise purchase was Ricky Martin. I've always liked Ricky's music but someone was telling me the other day how great his new single was. So, without having heard any of his new material, I went and bought the new album, 'Life'. Funky stuff indeed from our little Ricky. Marrying Hip Hop, middle-eastern influences (always gets a thumbs up from me!), and his own brand of Latin beats...the album is a sheer stomping & swaying delight from start to finish. The first track (a cool merging of U2-like stadium flourishes with The Egyptian String Ensemble) was actually orchestrated by Hossam Ramzy (anyone who appreciates & loves Egyptian/Arabic/Middle Eastern sounds will know of this amazing musician!) I was in awe! The lead-off single ('I Don't Care') sounds like Nelly bellydancing. Other Hip hop/R&B talents he's enlisted for this album are Fat Joe, Amerie, and The Black Eyed Peas. Decidedly wicked & groovy, this new album is terrific stuff. Go Mr. Martin - I've just become a hardened fan, all over again.

Other notable mentions is the triple album, 'Beginner's Guide To Arabic' which features three CDs covering traditional, lounge & pop. I'm biased when it comes to Arabic music (I just love it all) but this varied album was truly a wonderful find. Sweeping & timeless ear-candy for the soul.

Other albums in this vein I've been enjoying in the last month have been: 'Niyaz' by NIYAZ - a merging of members from Vas, and Axiom Of Choice (think Middle East/Persia). Seeing as I absolutely love both these two bands, Niyaz is a gift sent directly from music heaven! And the new Midival Punditz album, 'Midival Times' is another aural masterpiece - this time, leaning more towards the Indian sounds I also love so much. I'm really getting into Bollywood music lately - that stuff's just so mad & fun. The more Bhangra, the better!

I also bought Sarah McLachlan's new remix album 'Bloom' - You can never go wrong with Sarah, and with these fine songs finding new expression via some delicious booming beats (care of the likes of Thievery Corporation, Junkie XL, Talvin Singh, and Sly & Robbie, etc)- it's an ethereally powerful combination. The dance overhaul continues to honour and respect her material (which is just as well). Truly hypnotic...

Depeche Mode's new album, 'Playing The Angel' plays like a band infused with a new energy and sense of passion. Proving themselves still relevant, their new offering is a mixture of new wave, electro, dark dance pop. Strong, delicate, atmospheric, and haunting, Depeche Mode have come back with an extraordinary album of great new songs.

Ian Brown (ex-Stone Roses) has always been slightly under my radar (even though I have one of his albums - 'Solarized'), so it was a real joy to pick up his new 'The Greatest' - a collection of all his singles to date. Electro-funky, cosmic, and lightly flirting with the dark...Ian Brown is like a boppier version of Depeche Mode.

Then there's Princess Superstar's sizzling, new state-of-the-art, from-the-future offering, 'My Machine'. Otherwise known as MC Feminem, this innovative album's all wrapped up in hyper-pulsating bleeps & squeaks. Highly conceptual, throbbing, and inventive - the album (a hybrid of sci-fi-glam/hip hop/& dance) claims to come from a time beyond the year 3005, with the intro being spoken by an interdimensional telepath. Kooky, mind-expanding (sans drugs), and deeply dancefloor-driven, contributors to the album include Jacques Lu Cont, Armand Van Helden and Junior Sanchez. A time-portal of infinite possibilities has now opened...and Princess Superstar is riding it...with her own unique brand of musical whips & chains!

Other albums I'm currently enjoying: Katie Melua - 'Piece By Piece' (the single, 'Nine Million Bicycles' is simply divine!); KT Tunstall - 'Eye To The Telescope' (passionate & bluesy - it's an instant classic!); 'The Proposition Sountrack' by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis (beautifully dark, solemnly calm, and hauntingly exquisite - a gorgeous sonic reflection of the powerful film it both accompanies & enhances); Crazy Penis - 'A Night On Earth' (disco-tastic!); Nikka Costa - 'can'tneverdidnothin' (funky soul mama with 'shake-ya-booty' beats!); Decoder Ring - 'Fractions' (high-quality electronica, with rich textures - this is a progressive & gratifying epic); Sinead O'Connor - 'Throw Down Your Arms' (someone who's actually succeeded in making me appreciate and love reggae!); Martin Solveig - 'Hedonist' (R&B stylings with a nod to the dancefloor - the first single, the multidimensional 'Everybody', contains lyrics on metaphysical omnipresence - sung over an insistent rocky beat. Superb! ); David Gray - 'Life In Slow Motion' (glacially cool & heartwarming at the same time!); James Blunt - 'Back to Bedlam' (emotional, and very beautiful - the song 'Goodbye My Lover' had me weeping on public transport!); Jade MacRae's self-titled debut album (a funky and soulful affair from another local talent); Antony & The Johnsons - 'I Am A Bird Now' (heart-wrenching, tender, and pure - the new single, 'You Are My Sister', a duet with Boy George, truly does pull on the heart-strings. Luscious, gorgeous and celestially-inspired).

And lastly - Am eagerly awaiting Madonna's new album, 'Confessions On A Dancefloor'! Now THAT will have me dancing & dripping with glitter-sparkles all through Christmas & the New Year!!! Bring it on! Yesterday, I also bought the latest November issue of Q Magazine - which features a 65th Birthday Special for John Lennon. Included with the mag was a bonus CD with the likes of the Sugababes, Stereophonics, Feeder, Oasis, and Madonna, singing various Lennon classics. Madonna's contribution was her reworking of 'Imagine'. The combination of Madonna, and, probably my fave-ever Lennon song was definately a splendid b'day present from the Universe... Her version was recorded in January 2005 for a Tsunami benefit (though word has it that it was actually taken from her 'Live 8' performance). I'm surprised that the recording sounds as good as it does - and Maddie does a great job. The sound of the audience cheering and singing along is quite a quaint touch too. This song will just have to tie me over 'till November when her new album is released.

So there you go. This has been the soundtrack to my birthday, and of the past month. Of course, there's other songs & albums I've enjoyed and loved - but this has been the creme of the musical crop for me. I believe one's musical tastes say a lot about a person - so that's why I'm writing about my most recent musical discoveries and loves...oh, and well, I also just love talking about music!

Muse-ically Yours,
ONE in an infinity of ways : I AM
Your Para//el Self.

In Melbourne, Australia, I helped create an ongoing series of Dance/Healing Festivals called 'Maya Festival' (http://www.mayafestival.com/). During our first-ever event, I went around asking various patrons about their beliefs, thoughts, ideas and opinions on various subjects - all for the benefit of a documentary a friend and I were filming.

I had so much fun hearing peoples' feedback...I thought I'd ask myself the very same questions. The following are my answers:

Q: How important is music in your life?
A: As important as breathing. The music in my life at any given moment serves as a reflection of my mood or 'vibration' at that time. I love listening to Dance, Electro, Trance or Pop in the morning to get me up & going...Jazz, Soul, or World at work during the day....and Classical, Blues, Ambient & down-tempo Middle-Eastern stuff at night to wind down to.

Q: What are your views on Time? Does it seem to be speeding up or slowing down?
A: My views (like me) are never on time (ha ha). Seriously though - I believe 'time' mirrors one's vibrational frequency...so that if it seems that time is speeding up, then it's actually the vibration of the perceiver that is 'speeding up' or going faster. In a sense, there's no such thing as 'time' per se...It's just an illusion (like everything else)...and All is happening simultaneously Right Now...but because we've all been 'trained' to think linearly...then that is what we hence create, and thus experience. The Now is always the same...it's just the setting (& our perception of it) that changes continuously...

Q: How do you perceive Reality?
A: In this way - The YOUniverse perceives Its Self 'through' the expression of Itself that 'I' symbolise...

Q: Would you agree with the idea that You are the Creator of all your experiences?
A: I AM the Creator, as well as the 'experience'; I AM the Origin of that which I experience, as well as the result of all that I create...and everything in between...ad infinitum.

Q: Do you pay much attention to your dreams?
A: Living (& the Awareness of it) is Dreaming...so, yes...as much attention as I pay to Life and Awareness. In other words, the more attention I pay 'to' The Dream, from 'within' The Dream...ultimately the more lucid I AM.

Q: What makes you smile?
A: Nothing 'makes' me smile. I choose to be happy, and hence, choose to smile. I find that I then manifest something in my reality to reflect my smile back to me...

Q: What's the best dream you've had recently?
A: Apart from This One...Not long ago I dreamt that I, along with a group of other people were on another planet. At first we were being given a tour of some buildings by one of their beings - dressed in black, white & silver. The building walls were translucent, so we could view the otherwordly sky. Little flying orbs were buzzing all around us whilst grander ships were hovering around in the sky. Our tour-guide wore a 'helmet', thus concealing its face.
Then a member of our group took out a flute and began playing a few notes. All the orbs began vibrating excitedly and our guide was fascinated and amazed. They all told us if we'd mind putting on a group performance (very 'Interstella5555' I know), so we organised ourselves into a group and began singing - improvising some song (which we ended up calling 'Time').
The beings of that planet were overwhelmed and mesmerised by our music. We felt such warmth and love emanating from them. It felt so good to be singing in harmony with each other...and the excitement and happiness felt within our group, extended out to all the beings of that extraordinary planet. All the sky-ships above us were shimmering in awe, and all the orbs were whirring around us totally getting into it. It seemed as if they'd never heard music before.
They were so appreciative (in their own unique way)...and we really felt as if we had given a special gift to a sister planet - the gift of harmony through co-operation, the gift of art wrapped in delicate melody, the gift of peace...in song. We felt as if we had communicated with them via the truly Universal Language...of Music. Then, I woke up. With a big smile on my face. And an otherwordly tune in my head...

Q: Have you ever had any encounters of an Angelic or Extraterrestrial kind?
A: All the time. It's the close encounters I have of the Human Kind - which are the most perplexing & bizarre!

Q: Could all of this possibly be a grand Dream You are having right now?
A: Of this I AM certain : The more 'real' I believe all of this to be...the more asleep I am. The more at-One I AM with all of this...the more Lucid I AM. And at this point, I'm finding it more fun to be a Lucid, than to be asleep. Every dream is a room...in the House of The Awakened One. 'Reality' is held up by the pillars of Duality, polarities, & separation. The Dream is constructed around the Awareness that one is ONE with All. Where your attention is...There You are. And that which you believe...You BE / LIVE.

Q: What do you love to do?
A: Writing; Reading; Listening to Music; Making Music; Meeting people; Being alone; Being All-ONE; Looking at the Stars; Laughing; Inspiring others; Singing; Dancing; Flirting; Dreaming whilst Awake; Eating Mango Yoghurt...

Q: If you could meet anybody living or dead - who would it be & why?
A: I AM everyONE...living & dead. Why? Because...I AM.

Q: Do you believe in Life after death?
A: I know only of Life...in its many infinite variations & dimensions, expressions & forms. There is essentially, no 'death' - just other expressions of LIFE.

Q: Do you have a telepathic link with anyone?
A: With everyONE - yet there may be other aspects of That Which I AM, who don't believe they have telepathic links with me (this particular 'aspect' that I AM.) Oh well...

Q: What would be your message to all of humanity?
A: Don't take Life too literally...

Q: What are your views on Reincarnation?
A: That it's a very limited & severely linear description of something which is infinitely unlimited and all-inclusive. We are all Infinity having various finite experiences. The concept of Reincarnation I believe is a totally valid and almost necessary step to the realisation that WE are All One Being simultaneously being everyONE Right Now. Yet it's a 'step' that must be transcended otherwise one's reality remains Self-restricted & Self-limiting.

Q: Do You enjoy being You?
A: I AM being...in-Joy.

Q: If you could visit any place in the world or Universe - where would it be and why?
A: Firstly, I AM everywhere at once...but as for this particular 'expression' - I'd have to say, The Giza Pyramids of Egypt...at around 10,000 BCE. Then again, I WAS there at that time...

Q: Do you do any form of meditation or yoga, or what do you do to relax?
A: I AM in constant meditation, thus I AM always calm, centered and relaxed...unless of course I've forgotten that I AM in constant meditation.

Q: What would you like to see more of in the world?
A: Party hats, Hugging, and Smiling.

Q: Are You in love?
A: I AM Love, Love is Life and I AM 'in' it - so Yes.

Q: What will You be remembered for?
A: For Re-Membering my Self.

Q: Jump in a time machine and see yourself in seven years' time - Where are you and what are you doing?
A: I AM still every 'where', and doing everything. I AM still everyONE in seven years' time. I AM still Being...

Q: What or who were you in a past life?
A: Every thing and everyOne. Same applies for 'future' & parallel lives...

Q: Finish the sentence, God is...?
A: It's already 'finished'. Yet, it's just 'beginning' too.

Q: Where is Home?
A: Wherever I AM.

Q: If You could be a colour - what would You be?
A: Sunset Purple.

Q: What brings You Peace?
A: My choice to BE Peace.

Q: If the people of Earth could send one message to our intergalactic neighbours, what would or should it be?
A: Namaste - The ONE within 'us' recognises, appreciates, respects & unconditionally loves...the ONE within all of you.

Q: What is your most recurring dream?
A: This One... Life's on Repeat until you 'get it'.

Q: If you could officially change your name to anything - what would it be?
A : OM...

Q: What was your role in Atlantis?
A: Official Resident Temple DJ; Flying mind-powered star-ships; Scroll writer & Performer...

Q: If you could meet the 1999 version of yourself - what advice would you give?
A: Wake Up.

10 Random Thoughts Carefully Chosen

2005-07-31T01:37:00.000-07:00

* Thought itself - Is it a product of my environment, or is my environment the product of my thoughts? I THINK it's BOTH...

* When I opened my eyes this morning, did I truly awaken, or did I fall into a deeper sleep?

* I wonder if it's necessary (& wise) that a sequel to 'ET' is being considered - by Spielberg, and Drew Barrymore. Can a Classic really be improved?

* Is our Solar System really a macro-cosmic version of a humble atom (ie: various protons & electrons orbiting a central nucleus) - thus merely making it one of an infinite number of building blocks in someone else's larger, grander universe?

* The frustration of being neutral/multi-sided. In many if not all of my dealings with other people (at work, friends, etc) - I find that I can never take sides as I'm on the side I AM always on - everyONE's. I can see that many just can't comprehend & understand each other's points of view much of the time...and I find this rather frustrating. Is it really that hard to envision someone else perception of the world? This leads to a lot of arguing & tip-toeing around me...with me in the center...trying to reconcile two opposing polarities...in other words...trying to unify Duality. And some days, I just cannot be bothered!

* I love planning Spontaneity...

* If everything I think contradicts each other and every thing I say cancels each other out - then what?

* Can you imagine a world without music? I can't. When I look at a sunrise...I hear classical. When I overhear an argument...I hear heavy-metal. When I visit a heart-broken friend...I hear blues. And when I watch the stars at night...I hear electro-ambient. No, I certainly cannot imagine a world without music - in all its myriad & amazing forms.

* Is the planet round only because we believe it to be?

* And for my final thought - Is Nothing merely Everything...butt-naked?

A Para//el Thought within ONE Infinite Mind : I AM.

What In Tarnation

2005-07-30T02:45:00.000-07:00

Went to see a rather sobering yet fascinating film the other day called 'Tarnation' (as in 'What in tarnation!') about a guy whose been filming himself and his family since he was 11 (he's now 31 - like me). Anyway, at one point in his life - he was apparently diagnosed with a particular anxiety disorder called Derealisation (or Depersonalisation) [do a Google search on these terms - interesting stuff indeed!] - as he had always regarded himself as living within a kind of illusion, or Dream.

Watching the film, I could so relate to his perception of the world...as I too, consider myself to be living within Maya - The realm of a thousand distractions; living within an incredibly life-like simulation or illusion, All of it - a Grand Dream I AM having...

And I'm not the only Lucid (someone aware within a dream that all of it is ONE...). Look at: Buddha, Jesus, Carl Gustav Jung, Jean Houston, Richard Linklater, Walt Whitman, Lao Tzu, Osho, Fred Alan Wolf, Edgar Allan Poe, Mystics, Philosophers, Quantum Physicists, etc etc etc - who have all at one time or other espoused or suggested that all of reality is but a dream within a dream...nothing but an intricate illusion.

"Many a God has been fooled by their dreams"

I never thought of it before (or come across it for that matter) that this feeling of ONEdrousness was somehow actually a 'disorder' - Trust the medical profession (itself, primarily a left-brained institution - not counting the natural and intuitive healers of course!) to come up with a term to describe this feeling of 'lucidity' (or the ability to honestly question the concept of 'reality'...). Suffering a disorder?! Suffering? I'd call it 'enjoying', not suffering. And disorder? More like...seeing the Order amidst the chaos! But I'm not judging those who diagnose people with this 'affliction' - in their own way, I guess they're just trying to help - trying to describe something they don't quite understand...having to pigeonhole, label, and categorise something that is quite evidently, too big for them to fathom.

I mean, I'm sure they would have sent Buddha to the nearest mental asylum - after hearing some of the 'way out' things he said! Jung was clever - at least he tried to transform psychiatry from 'within' the institution (pun very much intended!).

So I didn't come away from the film angry or even frustrated at anyone. In fact, I got to experience Unconditional Love even more by 'real-eyes-ing' that everyone is just working within their perceived ideas of what the world & reality is all about. How could I judge someone else's (or MINE 'through' someONE else)'s Path, Choices, and how they uniquely view the world? By judging anyone - I knew that it would and could only reveal (or re-veil) that within my Self that I still have not healed, reintegrated, accepted and 'brought home'.

So yeah, I think it's kinda cool that I have a 'condition'. As this realm is totally inside-out, upside-down and topsy-turvy anyway - it's no surprise to me that if I was to go to a 'doctor'...I'd probably be diagnosed with a 'disorder'...when actually...all around me...within & throughout the infinite YOUniverse...all I see...is Cosmic Order. A 'This-Order' if you please...

Jung I am certain, would have agreed with me, but Dr. Joe Blow down the street may find it a little difficult to see where I AM coming from! And again, bless him - Who am I to judge another aspect of That I AM?

I think some of the 'symptoms' of Derealisation have to be rewritten anyway (maybe I'm the one to do it!). Things like:

Apart from everything...is now...A part of Everything.
Alone...is now...All-One.
Being a spectator in some meaningless game...is now...Being the Ultimate Observer in a meaningful dream.

And so on and so forth.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - The Sweetest Dream is a Lucid ONE.

A Fellow Oneironaut : I AM.

ps : I think the funniest & most ironic thing would be for a doctor within a lucid dream to tell you that you are suffering from Derealisation - The belief that all which appears real is but a dream. Maybe, just maybe...the doctor is scared to death to think he may just not be as 'real' as he thinks he is - that maybe (because he's still 'asleep') he may just be a character in someONE else's Dream...until he himself...wakes up.

A Blast Of Synchronicites

2005-07-10T02:56:00.000-07:00

Life Imitating Art Imitating Life...

Cut to Wednesday night the 6th of July. I settle down in bed to begin reading Chapter 9, 'The Human Nexus' (of the ONEderful book, 'Journey Into ONEness' by Michael J. Roads), and am moved and awestruck by what it was all about - a bomb going off in a London underground train station...and the ensuing spiritual dilemmas & adventures faced by all those who had suddenly and unexpectedly passed over from the bomb blast.

I thoroughly resonated with this chapter as it was a little like a piece I wrote for an online newsletter earlier this year about a young guy from India who passed over into the spirit realm due to the 2004 Dec 26th Tsunami.

Now cut back to several weeks ago when I noticed an article in the paper about London's Big Ben clock tower inexplicably stopping (its third time apparently in 100 years). I have a thing about clocks and watches stopping. On the day my best friend's father died (last month) the huge clock at my work stopped (my friend used to work with me at this place also). So upon seeing the newspaper article, I remember thinking, "Hmmm - Something is going to happen to London soon - I wonder what it might be?"

Then the day after I read Chapter 9 (July the 7th), all the various synchronicities popped out like a 3D picture, and came together to make sense (of a nonsensical world).

Reality mirroring fiction? 'Out there' reflecting the Thoughts of 'in here'? Life imitating Art imitating Life?

Just wanted to share, as this book really has put me on quite an amazing adventure of blurring the 'without' with the 'within'...and back again... It's written with an intuitive & inspired understanding of both the physical and the spiritual realms. Unconditional Love and a profound sense of ONEness positively oozes from its pages.

M.J. Roads was quite spot-on (and the book - written in the early 90s, is a detailed account of his various meditations and etheric travels and such). And I feel touched & of course saddened (in a pure human sense) to have read his prophetic chapter the day before it actually occured.

***

ps : A Shout-Out, and a big Thank You to Arlene for recommending this book to me several weeks ago...

pps : And as for global synchronicities - Try this on for size:

Saturday - Live 8; Sunday - One Apostle falls, now making it only 8 Apostles (in the 'temple'); Monday - Comet Tempel 1 blasted by NASA Spaceprobe; Wednesday - G8 Summit, & London wins bid to host 2012 Games; Thursday - London Bomb Blasts... (And all of this in less than one week!)

Hmmm.

All is connected - microcosmically, quantum physics-ly, physically, psychically, metaphorically, literally, third-dimensionally, multidimensionally, metaphysically and macrocosmically...

Trust. yOUR // Self : I AM.

Are You Happy?

2005-07-05T18:45:00.000-07:00

I want to share something which just now gave me a real warm & fuzzy feeling...

Right now (I'm in an internet caffe)...I overheard a father ask his young son if he was happy. It wasn't just an 'are you happy right now' kind of question. By the gentleness and sincerity in the father's voice...it came across more like an 'Are you Happy?' in general, kind of question.

But what really melted my heart and made my eyes mist over was how the little boy looked up at his dad and replied in the most innocently beautiful voice ever, "Yes daddy, I am happy. Thank You."

You know, I don't think I've ever heard an adult ask their child that. In fact I don't hear a lot of adults ask fellow adults that.

Life is full of Happiness - If only we cared enough to ask.

Your // Self : I AM...
Happy.
Thank You for asking...

YOUniverse : Know Thy SELF.

Traditionally, there are seven steps to Transfiguration (or Ascension)...the Universe being structured in such a way as to 'appear' to reveal itself in stages, or layers, each of which contains or surrounds the other (much as do the colours of the light spectrum). Other terms previously used to describe this alchemical process have been: The Fool's Quest; The Shaman's Journey; The Sorcerer's Crossing; The Master's Path; Cosmic Awakening; and Universal Re-Membering.

The first step is that of the earth, personified as the Archangel Uriel, whose virtue is silence (sensation) of which the corresponding colour is red. The second step or level is water, embodied by Gabriel, whose virtue is 'to dare' (feeling) [orange]. The third is fire, as presided over by Archangel Michael, whose virtue is 'the will' (intuition) [yellow]. The fourth is air, as represented by Rafael, virtue being knowledge (thought) [green].

As soon as the neophyte (Neo's plight) has been ushered into all four kingdoms, s/he is in the position to assemble, synthesize, and assimilate them into him/herself, as 'powers', thereby activating the corresponding energy centers in the body. The first four steps equate with the four Chakras, from the Root to the Heart.

The fifth step, that of The Goddess (residing at the Vishuddha or Throat Chakra - virtue: expression) [blue] may come about spontaneously as a result of the assimilation of the four primary forces within the human body. The individual is now ready for the sixth step, full bodily "knowledge and conversation of the Whole-Hearted Angel" (or Wholly-integrated Light-Self...the Holy Light Being), which has now been 'assembled' and may be evoked, or accessed, by the newly awoken senses. This is the opening of the Third Eye or Ajna Chakra - Psychic Center [indigo], as the Kundalini (energy/serpent) rises to the center of the skull and thus unites the separate hemispheres of the brain. (This third eye is mythologically represented as the philosopher's stone - the emerald - that fell from Lucifer's forehead preceding his assignation to the Earth realm.)

"When you make the two One, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female One and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female...then you will enter the kingdom." ~ The Gospel of Thomas.

As Above So Below...As Within So Without. The cell becomes the body, and the body the cell...quite like an individual or the 'little i' becoming the infinite & eternal Universe, while the Universe becomes simply...'U'. Since the body is contained within a greater Cosmic Body known as the Universe, the individual, becoming One with the Cosmic Body, enters into an awareness of a new YOUniverse.

"At the moment of crossing, one enters into the third attention, and the body in its entirety is kindled with knowledge. Every cell at once becomes aware of itself, and also aware of the totality of the body." ~ Carlos Castaneda, "The Eagle's Gift."

The seventh and penultimate 'gate' is the opening of the Crown Chakra (The Cosmic/YOUniversALL Connection) [violet/purple], and the absorption of the individual 'by' the Wholly-integrated Light Being.

Such a process might be described (amongst a host of other terms) as Transfiguration or Ascension, and amounts to the expansion of individual consciousness 'into the Universe'. This process of individuation (paradoxically) is simultaneously, a withdrawal from Consensus Reality and a 'plugging into' of the Collective (Cosmic) Soul. It involves drawing together the dispersed (elemental) 'entities' or complexes into a single, YOUnified awareness...an integrated Whole Being, and their subjugation to a single will. This is the Energy Body or 'etheric double', the Merkaba, a window or doorway to the One Self. The Alchemist has thus transmuted lead into Gold.

Getting to know The Light Being within is a process of apprehension in stages, somewhat akin to the parable of the blind men and the elephant, the blind men (quite like the worlds' various religions) signifying the various separate facets or complexes that make up our conscious self (the mob), and the elephant representing the 'Holy Angel'. The Angel itself is but the embodiment of the 'totality of the self', which we grope and fumble to apprehend in the darkness. The blind mob, taking turns at groping, declares: It's a snake, it's a tree trunk, it's a pair of coconuts! And so on and so forth, apprehending each of the various parts of the creature one by one, but failing to put all the impressions together.

Only by comparing the various points of view (points of You) and assembling them into a coherent whole does the true picture emerge (like many pieces of a puzzle coming together to form a whole picture). The Light Being must be assembled gradually (by the senses, intuition and the imagination) until such a time as the whole can be perceived in full Awareness.

"I was a myriad selves which were all 'me', a colony of separate units that had a special allegiance to one another and would join unavoidably to form one single awareness, my human awareness...The unbending solidarity of my countless awarenesses, the allegiance that those parts had for one another, was my Life Force." ~ Carlos Castaneda, 'Tales of Power'.

Whether uttered by Castaneda or boomed by God Itself, this statement reveals a veritable universe of truths. That namely, 'animating' the many...is The One. 'E Pluribus Unum' ~ Out of Many...ONE.

"At the sound of the trumpet, flip the switch, change the channel, turn the page. Matter implodes, Spirit emerges from the wound: the vacuum created by the arrival of freedom. Every particle collapses and the molecular double-phoenix assumes its sacred groove: no more particles, only Wave. The New Wave sweeps through Space, on the tide of Time, leaving no traces. Out of entropy, ecstasy.

At this moment, the veil of the sky draws back, God peers in. The raising of the lid of the Pandora's Box we've come to call the world: God is the physicist, the Universe is the laboratory, the world is the box, and Human is the cat. The only question remaining then, is - Are we alive or dead?

The shell of space cracks open - Lucid in the sky with diamonds...one billion points of light are sucked up in an instant into the shadow; the pupil dilates (and the Master radiates), momentarily satiated. A flash of blindness, then vision. Cross-over. Black becomes white, slack becomes tight, up goes down, in comes out, left becomes right, day becomes night. An Eye-Opening Sight.
An 'I'-Open-to-Light..."

(Much thanx & gratitude to A.K. - for the ONEderful view)

Another Point of You : OM...

Hey Bud!

2005-06-07T01:30:00.000-07:00

This particular post is dedicated to my oldest & closest friend - Tryst. I've known him for over ten years now. Apparently we sat right next to each other (third row, center) at Madonna's "Girlie Show" concert in Brisbane, QLD, Australia way back in 1993. We met soon after and couldn't believe the coincidence. He was a model. I was a singer. And just like Carla Bruni, the two worlds came together to create something quite sublimely wonderful and beautifully powerful.

We've always said that we are One Being within two different bodies (others have always looked at us strangely when we've told them this...). This was my first taste of Dual Consciousness, and hence, Omnipresence. And laughter has always accompanied our revelations, our adventures, our joys, and our tears. He is not just a reflection...Tryst is a parallel self.

I was there when he crossed over to my 'side'. He was there when my heart was broken for the first time. He's danced at my shows. I've acted (well tried to) in his short films. He's inspired songs for me (once wrote 'Little Drama Boy' - all about him), and I've inspired poems for him. I've lived with him (we only ever fought once - over 'Melrose Place'!). I've worked with him. I've clubbed with him. I've dreamed with him. He's been my bouncer, and I've always been someone he can bounce ideas off of. I've watched him on TV, and read about him in magazines. I've consoled several of his ex's (male & female). He's put me through countless horror films, and I've made him sit through the dullest of alien movies. He totally understood my 'hermit years'. And I've acted as 'spiritual advisor' on his porn sets! And last but not least - I've recently offered my proof-reading services...to look over the eulogy he had written for his father who passed over suddenly & unexpectedly on Saturday night. A former Mr Universe, Mr H. Snr. is now part of The Universal Spirit within us all.

One of the most touching things he said to me on Sunday was that because of the circumstances of the past week...it has forced him to grow up within one single weekend. On Saturday, he was still a boy. By Sunday...the son had become a man.

Tryst has moved back up to QLD indefinately (strange timing - as I've just come back from there last week) until all is well up there with his family (his dear mother in particular). All of his friends here in Melbourne will miss his effervescence, trashy sense of fun, his unique sense of looking at the world, his joy, passion and his undeniable love of life. This is not his eulogy. I'm just stating the facts.

We once joked that we were going to write a film called 'Hey Bud'.

And that's been a recurring greeting for us over the years.

Well, where there's a bud...there too, is a blossoming flower. And if I could liken Tryst to any type of flower...it would be a Sunflower. Because a lot of peoples' lives are brightened by the mere presence of his beaming, smiling face...

No matter where he is...We are always ONE.

The following is an (edited) email I sent to him today:

Just got your email...and I must say that it (the eulogy) brought tears to my eyes. Heartwarming, poignant, funny and beautiful. Don't you think it was uncanny that you started compiling all those photo albums of your parents and family? Bizarrely untimely.

Thank You for your reply. I know that you know that I know... Yes, indeed (and in thought), our 'jOURney' has just begun. But so far, I'm lucky to have had such an understanding & unique Soul to share it with...to dance along The Path with. So Thank You for that.

When I was walking home the other night underneath the stars thinking about You and your father and family...I was wondering what I could do in a meditation to assist in the passing over of your dad's spirit - if he was at all over-identified with the physical realm and thus found it difficult to 'move on' into the Purely Spiritual (sometimes a sudden 'passing over' may also result in this). And regardless of if he wasn't...still thought it might help.

As WE are all ONE ~ I located that part of my SELF that is him...and brought him into The Light, assisted him there, guided him there. I located whatever in his belief system constituted as Guides or whatever, and sent thousands of them to him - to envelop him in Love. Any confusion, I transmuted into understanding. Any regrets, I transmuted into Unconditional Love of Self. And any pain of losing one's loved ones back in the Earth Realm, I transmuted into a Grand feeling of welcomed acceptance by all those many friends & family in the Hearafter.

I came out of this 'trance' feeling much more whole, radiant and full of peace. And I certainly hope, this feeling has rippled into the Higher Dimensions...and that your dad is getting etheric goosebumps from it too. I didn't know him that greatly in this life...but now I feel a real connection with him. And I sent extra doses of Peace, Light & Love to your mother and all your family...and especially, to You.

I just wanted to tell you that he is now surrounded by and exuding Pure Light...

By the way...I do love the final few paragraphs (of your eulogy). A lot of people will be very inspired and comforted by it...most of all...your Self. Well done. A new chapter awaits. The 'plot' has been suddenly rewritten. Bring every page to life, and speak every word from yOUR Soul. Just make sure you have a proof-reader on hand (ha ha).

Random Thoughts:

Circus Freaks : Judgement.

"In this Life...You can either say your piece, or You can say you're Peace..."

Recently I had a good friend send me a rather scathing & confrontational email full of judgements & accusations. Firstly, I take full responsibility for this Co-Creation - as in, I understand that I created this person and the various things he expressed. The Life's Lesson here was whether my love for this Being was truly unconditional, or did I only love him if he said 'nice' things to me...

Initially I was shocked. Then I laughed. Not at him. But at my ability to manifest something so beautiful. I could've revisited the past and got caught up in the drama of it all, but I chose to live in the Right Now. I didn't hold him accountable for the things he said (or his actions of) five minutes earlier. I was only responsible for my own Actions (rather than 'reactions') in the Here & Now.

Whatever he chose to say five minutes or five years earlier was his Choice at that time - based on his own unique perceptions of his reality and the world. I was only responsible for answering the following questions : Will I choose to be Unconditional Love Right Now? Could the world benefit from one person choosing Love over anger, hatred, or bitterness Right Now? Could I Live in The Moment - rather than perpetuate the illusion of the past?

Yes, Yes & Yes.

He showed me a profound reflection of my Self which I found invaluable. Rather than get upset or vengeful or angry at 'him', I real-eyes-ed that the mirror-image he symbolised was a part of me that could've easily gotten to me. Yet through unconditionally loving this reflection, and therefore - this particular subconscious judgemental belief I have on myself...I thus healed this fragmented rift within my Self. I chose to heal him rather than continue fueling him. I accepted him as That I AM, and just silently loved him.

I didn't have to do this physically, as I supposed that by replying in any way to him would have invariably just been distorted and thrown back at me. Sometimes Silence speaks louder than words. Sometimes.
I AM learning to unconditionally love my SELF through the act of unconditionally loving 'others'...

He showed me that part of my Self prone to fabrication, to exaggeration, to separation, to drama and intense emotion. I obviously projected these qualities outside of myself in the form of 'someONE else', (because I couldn't quite see them in myself) but quickly caught my-Self, and reintegrated my Self...through the profound Act of Forgivness...but more than that - just through Loving without Condition.

EVERY Experience is a true Gift...of ONEderful presence - regardless of the packaging it comes in.
He gave me quite a profound one...I guess that's what friends are for.

The Rollercoaster : Matters of The Heart.

You know that moment on the Rollercoaster when you're making that climb up towards a peak, only to know it's followed by a horrifying drop? I find that climb far more daunting than the fall itself. Sometimes. Yes, the ascent is thrilling in itself...the view glorious...and the pregnant pause of it all fun and unbearable. But my goddess - What a ride!

A huge bubble of emotions are simmering over in your heart. Your head is giddy with uncertainty and anticipation. You're as nervous as Heaven during a cloud-quake. An Angel appears to soothe your Spirit. Lucifer himself doesn't even scare you this much. Then a beautiful smile breaks through the dark clouds and you realize that this is what Life is meta-for, for, for...

For the thrill of the ride. For the experience of having the wind mess up your finely-styled hair. For the Life of your ride...

It breaks through all of your preconceived notions of who you ever thought You were. It shatters all of your discriminations. And it totally re-writes everything you thought about 'right' and 'wrong'. In fact, instead you come out smashing apart all of these outmoded beliefs and calmly come to understand what may evolve you...and hence what doesn't. That would be my definition of 'morals'...in a nutshell.

***

The Dodgem Cars : Crash.

Powerful is the film that speaks to people of differing vibrational frequencies which neither patronises them, nor sides with any particular belief or mindset.

Do we really miss the beauty of touch so much that we have become a society that crashes into each other regularly just to feel something?

I personally equate a crash with The Tower Card in the Tarot Deck. When you've gone as far as you can down a particular road and think you cannot learn anything more from it...a crash is inevitable...to learn shockingly, what that path's lesson was all along...

"You're the only true friend I have" - Sandra Bullock's character to her housemaid.

One truly heart-felt Hug has embedded within it, the lessons learnt from a thousands crashes.

Hug not crash. That would be my advice. Trust in the merry-go-round of Life, for the person who ultimately hurts you the most...may just end up saving your life.

***

The Magic Mirrors : Perception.

Does one really have to be told by someone else of who they may have been in a past life? Let's not distort our vision. There may be (and have been...and will be) billions and billions of eyes. But there is only ONE SOUL looking out of those infinite sets of eyes.

'What the mind of a Human can conceive is what S/He ultimately receives, perceives and hence achieves'.

The only one who can validate one's own intuition is ONE's Self. The only Creator of one's experiences is ONE's Self. Be careful, this is all loaded. It's not just black & white. It's Both/And... It's multidimensional Soul-surfing.

Made-up? or Factual? Which came first : The Imagination, Intent, Thought...or the Manifestation? Are not all 'facts' merely someone's or some peoples' dreamt-up ideas? Is not Life Itself being 'made up' on the spot...Right Here & Now?

If I AM The ONE Being...many - then exactly 'who' am I not? Nobody. At all. Let's give credit to the full omni-presents The ONE is offering...with infinite, outstretched hands. Step out of the biological box you're in. Become yOUR true effulgent, eternal and unlimited SELF.

I AM Hitler. As much as I AM Buddha. As well as being all variations in between.

If I cannot see this...then I AM not accepting and recognising the true Divinity, the YOUniversALL Self, and the total ONEdroUS-ness of The One I AM.

Open out (or in) to yOUR Self, and you'll find no limitations, no boundaries, no distinct lines drawn. You'll just see You in everyONE & everything..evrywhere & everywhen.

That's how intricately a-maze-ing & simply complex YOU truly are. As the OUR Hand reaches ONE, midnight shall fall away...and a new Dawn shall soon enLIGHTen all.

The Universe is but a grand mirror. Distorted. Or Crystal-clear. But always magical...

Of which You are The ONE'd (that is, The Wand).

Be-Live it...

***

The Giant Slippery Slide : Sex.

Start at The Top...but who's really on top? Slide down - exhilarating. Naked, & clothed...but who's really exposed? Slippery slide...Get off on the ride. Nearing the bottom...still on top? Gliding down, Hit a few bumps. Squeels of delight, Oh what a sight! Smack, Bump, Bang, Sigh. Slippery dippery, Whip Lash! All the way down...Pleasure meet Pain. All the way up...

To do it all over again.

***

The Ghost Train : Boo.

Some 'outfits' appear scary...some beautiful. But they are just that...Costumes. Worn by One Spirit...animating them all. Some go 'boo', some smile, and some are blank. Don't let their faces fool you. Don't let your own fool You.

You are wearing them all - all those faces, all those costumes, all those funny crazy little get-ups. It's only ever You frightening you...that's why it's so fucking scary.

Because only You can ever really scare You. And only You can ever really love You too...

That's meant to be Self-empowering, not depressing. How You choose to view it is entirely up to You.

You, as the Greatest Spirit there is are beyond description, beyond duality, beyond classification. You are neither ugly nor beautiful. You are MORE than that, You are the Transcendence of Transcendence itself. You, as the Greatest Spirit there is...just are.

As I AM.

A-MAYA-ZING

in Lak'ech ~ A Mayan Greeting meaning 'I AM another You.'

THE MAYA PROJECT

I've recently become involved in a Music/Dance/Healing Festival called "The Maya Project". My duties involve acting as a kind of Mayan Cosmology 'Consultant' (I guess all my knowledge on the Ancient Mayans had to come to good use somehow!), as well as possibly hosting a documentary being filmed on the day of the event (incidentally - May 8 2005, here in Melbourne City). A Russian film maker is interested in filming it. The organising body (The Mayan 8) has appealed to the government for grants etc., and there's the possibility that it may then get shown on SBS or the ABC, or in film festivals.

I fully believe in this project (and really only became involved via some amazing synchronicities - as usual!). Apart from it being influenced by Mayan philosophy, astronomy and cosmology (as well as borrowing from the Hindu term 'Maya' - meaning The Illusion/Matrix/Dream that all of humanity is currently caught up in; as well as also meaning 'Earth Mother'), the Festival itself aims to promote Higher Consciousness & Universal Awareness (through purely natural means - like Meditation, Yoga, Dance, Song, Chanting, Drumming, Music, etc).

It's a real possibility that I'll be walking around on the day, interviewing people, the crew etc, on their views regarding spirituality, time, love, the universe, consciousness, the future...and so on. As you can see - it'll be right up my cosmic alley!

These festivals will be an ongoing journey - each one based on a particular Chakra. Each one in effect will act as a kind of Initiation for everyone present and involved - awakening their various Energy Centers until all Chakras are activated and operating. We have DJs, Yoga practitioners, performers, Aboriginal tribal groups, African dancers, Healers, etc already involved...

We are thinking of taking this globally (perhaps even synchronizing it across the planet some day - perhaps via live hook-ups!). It's all very exciting! And it would be ONEderful to see some of you Melbournites there!

Your Parallel Self within MAYA ~ The Collective Dream,
ONE in an infinity of ways : I AM.

ps : I couldn't have manifested a more perfect event to reflect my beliefs, thoughts, aims & wishes!

What The Bleep!?

2005-04-19T17:40:00.000-07:00

Currently playing within this dimension is an amazing film...and it's certainly making waves - not ripples, but waves ~ 'What The Bleep Do We Know'. I saw it yesterday. And all I can say is - that it's a remarkably lucid and ONEderful example of exactly where the medium of film can take us...ie: on a journey to Higher Consciousness & Holy-graphic Awareness (or rather, it goes to reflect that Awakening).

I laughed, I was awe-struck, I cried, I ONEdered, I saw my SELF reflected. Marlee Matlin (Children Of A Lesser God) 'stars' in this film but really, she plays a kind of 'Alice' in ONEderland. As an actress, she simply leaves you startled at her depth, range and sheer courage...as a human, she leaves you profoundly astounded.

This is 'Waking Life' but with 'real' characters...

I truly & whole-heartedly believe in spreading the word about this film and fully encourage everyone to see it. You'll all see what I mean when you see it...

"The Universe is teeming with infinite potential...
ONE of which...is You."

Additional info on the film: What the Bleep Do We Know!? is a unique cinematic creation - really three films in one, interwoven like a DNA helix, into an original tapestry. It's a documentary. It's a story. It has mind-blowing special effects. These three elements combine to bring about a film experience that will rock your mind and lift your soul! It's a new genre about a New Worldview for a new audience.

This outrageous film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated – where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist - where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought. It has been called by some theater goers as 'The Handbook to The Matrix'. Like The Matrix it shows you a greater reality behind the one we all accept as true, and you have the ability to create absolutely anything from your own thought while laughing all the way! The difference between this film and that movie is that this isn't science fiction. It's even stranger. It's real. And it's the first film to say it. And it does so boldly and with a BLEEP of a lot of humor. And it's being proven every day by minds like these.

What the Bleep Do We Know!? gives voice to the modern day radical souls of science, bringing their genius to millions. These maverick heroes at the cutting edge of their fields are at the forefront of a Paradigm shift even greater than those of the geniuses who preceded them. And this shift involves the greatest uncharted territory yet -

Human Consciousness itself.

What the Bleep Do We Know? says that science and spirituality are not different modes of thought, but are in fact describing the same thing. And it brings the power back to the individual man and woman as it demonstrates creation as the god-like capacity of every individual. Hollywood doesn't write films like this because they think you are too stupid to understand challenging concepts and too lazy to do anything more than sit and eat popcorn. They don't even hear your rumble and the rumble of countless others on your way to fill the theaters.

What the Bleep Do We Know!? represents a new trend in film that Hollywood has missed. It provides people with what many are most interested in and can't find on any screen: Intelligent and Enlightened Entertainment. They just don't know that you are looking for something that delivers the most thought-provoking concepts of emerging ideas in the most entertaining way.

The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn’t even realize she has asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life – that the reality she has believed in about how men are, how relationships with others should be, and how her emotions are affecting her work isn’t reality at all! As Amanda learns to relax into the experience, she conquers her fears, gains wisdom, and wins the keys to the great secrets of the ages, all in the most entertaining way. She is then no longer the victim of circumstances, but she is on the way to being the creative force in her life. Her life will never be the same.

The fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day Greek Chorus. In an artful filmic dance, their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of truth. The thoughts and words of one member of the chorus blend into those of the next, adding further emphasis to the film’s underlying concept of the interconnectedness of all things. The chorus members act as hosts who live outside of the story, and from this Olympian view, comment on the actions of the characters below. They are also there to introduce the Great Questions framed by both science and religion, which divides the film into a series of acts.

[Personally, it was a real thrill to see some of my favourite writers up on the screen: Fred Alan Wolf (The Dreaming Universe); Amit Goswami (The Self-Aware Universe); and J.Z. Knight - Channeller for RAMTHA. It was like watching old friends talk about everything I find fascinating & inspiring...#Note: The wedding scene is also one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the big screen!] - 'O'

Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion describe the same phenomena. The film employs animation to realize the radical knowledge that modern science has unearthed in recent years. Powerful cinematic sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain. Quirky animation introduces us to the smallest form of consciousness in the body – the cell. Dazzling visuals reinforce the film’s message in an exciting, powerful way. Done with humor, precision, and irreverence, these scenes are only part of what makes this film unique in the history of cinema, and a true box-office winner.

Millions of people around the world have already been touched by this film.

Through The Looking Glass...

2005-04-10T02:09:00.000-07:00

ONEironaut: A rather peculiar thing happened the other night. Cut to - Wednesday afternoon, the 6th of April...It was an unusually warm day here in Melbourne, Australia, so I took the opportunity to go sit in a park and read. Nothing peculiar about that I know. Later that night as I was in bed reading 'The Mayan Factor' [Jose Arguelles], I was intently studying a spiral diagram of various Mayan symbols & hieroglyphs...with the Hunab Ku symbol in the center.

Almost immediately, I began to feel very dizzy and disoriented (like some drug was beginning to take effect!). I had no idea what was happening, and I had hardly eaten anything and certainly nothing out of the ordinary. If I got up out of bed, I actually felt so dizzy that I'd fall over! So I just embraced it and decided to 'ride it out'.

I sat there wondering where (in my mind, or consciousness) I was headed.

I 'arrived' back into the head of my self from about six years ago (roughly mid-'99). My 'self' back then had 'just' taken an ecstasy tablet and was lying on his bed, unable to focus. He was just 'mind-surfing'...

The Link-up was now in progress...

'He' (this past me) laid there wondering if there was another presence in his head, who the other voice seemed to be. I replied that I was from his future - his future self from 2005. He thought he was imagining it all. He asked why I was visiting. I replied that I was there to give him some advice...that I was well aware he was free to make whatever choices he wanted to, but that everything he did ultimately affected all other timelines, and parallel lives...that he taking mind-altering drugs in his timeline was affecting me in mine...and that also in the long-run, if he continued, it would destroy my (or 'our') body and mind here in 2005.

I knew what year he was in from looking at a nearby calendar on the wall - through his eyes.

He knew what year I was in from looking at a nearby calendar on the wall - through my eyes.

Because of the twisted energy that the drug had set off, nothing totally tangible, concrete or clear was able to come through or be communicated - only smatterings of words, thoughts and ideas were able to pass through the space-time portal.

I made sure to speak with him with authority yet with great gentleness, with urgency yet with respect, with honesty yet with understanding, compassion & love. I am certain he listened...

Because I AM here.

And I have been 'clean' now for five years...

The 'portal' was not open for long. I was still 'out of it' for several hours, deciding that the only thing I could really do was to go to sleep...as it had also all been very tiring. Needless to say, I did not want to look at that same spiral Mayan diagram the next night! But regardless, it was a unique and amazing experience - a true gift I guess, from my Self, to my Self...and a testament to the fact that the boundaries between timelines or realities are indeed very, very thin.

God...I AM in Love with this YOUniverse.

"...In a ONEderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die.

Ever drifting down the stream-
Lingering in the golden gleam-
Life, what is it but a dream?"

~Message From The Galaxy~

And the cosmic coinci-Dance just keeps on going within Syncroni City! A fortnight ago, I was in the Theosophical Socity Bookstore and saw in the second-hand section, Carl Johan Calleman's book - 'The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation Of Consciousness'. It was fairly cheap for such a 'big' book, so I bought it.

I've also recently finished 'Galactic Alignment' by John Major Jenkins, so I'm fairly familiar with many of the Mayan concepts regarding Calendrical symbolism, The various Ages, Planetary Alignment with the Galactic Center, and the Transformation and ending of the Mayan Calendar (the end of The Long Count) on December 21, 2012. I've also been an avid visitor to diagnosis2012.co.uk for the past several years. Also, my research into Crop Formations has continually led be back to Mayan Cosmology - particularly the Calendar Formation which appeared in Southern England last year. My interests in Ancient Egypt, Pyramids in general, Atlantis, Mythology, and Astronomy/Astrology, have also continually led me back to the Mayans, Time Cycles, Mesoamerica, The Temple Pyramid of Kulculcan, Quetzalcoatl, Hunab-Ku, the Pleiadian influence, and the truly beautiful & profound In Lak'ech philosophy...

I began reading Calleman's book in the last week...and Wow. It's depth & sheer simplicity has been a deLight to behold. Fascinating, illuminating, embracing, far-reaching, crystal-clear and awesome. All this and more.

Cut to one day late last week...at work. An employee of a nearby shop (and whom I also count as a beautiful & talented friend), Samantha was to meet up with a good friend of hers - Ben, at my work. As I brought them their lunch, my eyes were drawn to the motifs and symbols on Ben's book lying on their table - a book by Jose Arguelles, called 'Time & The Technosphere'. It was all about Mayan Cosmology. I was awestruck. 'Snap!' goes the YOUniverse...

Ben and I were to later exchange numbers. He's currently researching the topic in preparation for an upcoming Dance Festival he's working on. The synchronicity was a wonderful sign to let me know that I am truly resonant with this particular path. Glorious, timely and full of Grace. Another Soul Contract is in the process of fulfilling itself.

Coming home later that night, I realised that the Calleman book I'm currently reading actually has a Forward (here we go again!) by none other than Arguelles! The pieces just fit together so perfectly... I've been so energised by all of this. So inspired and so 'sparkly'. It really has been quite gorgeous.

My new friendships have been a true joy to cultivate - namely 'Cel' whose energy I really love being in the presence of. His Light makes me smile. My little words of Wisdom garner much positive feedback from the many people who notice. No platform is too small to make a sizeably worthy impact on the collective consciousness - I say! Everything is just going swimmingly. Everyone around me are having birthdays. I love this point in time. It's all very exciting. And I so in-Joy just Being...

I, in-Joy, just AM.

YOUnify ONE's polarities...Merge East & West...Integrate Light and Darkness...Become Whole.

...the first experience of a galactic pulse of cosmic consciousness...

We'll~Come~ONE.

2005-03-08T14:40:00.000-08:00

Oneironaut : Two days ago I created a situation which allowed me to see a part of myself I have obviously despised. But this time, I was able to transmute the judgement and bring this particular 'aspect' home.

A young gentleman came into my workplace - a rather nasty piece of work (from a 3D point-of-view). He asked me why it was that I had moved from my previous workplace (which he considered more glamorous) to my present one. My reply was that it had been time to move on, to which he asked, "And you're happy here?".

"I AM happy wherever I AM" was my answer.

But he was only warming up. After having asked for a cup of water, my boss gave him the water he requested. Then he had a rather melodramatic hissy-fit, proclaiming that after having spent over $20 at our establishment, he was disgusted that we should give him his water in a plastic cup... He was actually spitting all over the place, trying to throw all his weight around, obviously thinking that money (& not sheer niceness) could buy class.

I certainly couldn't see it at the time (as I was thinking 'What a rude & arrogant, disgusting little queen!'), but later that night, I realized much to my humility, that I had created him to see what part of my SELF I hated.

After my boss explained that seeing as we were situated in a shopping center foodcourt, all of our water comes in plastic cups (for the safety of the many children running about, and to save our glasses for the many cafe lattes we make all day). He finally relented and accepted this explanation. I'm glad I never said anything, as for the first time in something like five years, I felt so much anger - and all towards this particular reflection. And this really did shock the 'hell' out of me.

And it was through this shock I received a taste of Heaven...

Once I was able to take responsibility for this co-created event, and 'real-eyes' that he was representing a part of me I obviously found reprehensible...I could heal my SELF. I tell you though, it certainly wasn't easy (as this is obviously a belief of mine that healing is not always 'easy'), to accept him as my mirror image. Transmuting anger, hatred, and judgement into compassion, acceptance and unconditional love can be a very humbling experience...and ultimately a very profound & rewarding one.

I understand that that which I invalidate (by judging, denying, hating or suppressing it), I then empower...(what you resist persists, no?) so that it will keep coming back as a manifested experience until I can love it without condition, thus healing it and bringing it back into my Heart...back Home. A 'lesson' unlearnt shall return over and over until it is understood and embraced... And every painful projection is a gift, and an opportunity to heal ONE's SELF.

He obviously reflected & symbolised many things : my beliefs regarding money and status; my own arrogance, unkindness and overblown ego; and my own prissy, diva-like side. Through him, and because of him (a true gift really), I got to see my SELF through my own eyes...

'Ouch'.

That night, I could've easily harboured resentment, boiled over in seething anger (which believe me, I almost chose to do!), I could've cried - had I given my consent to being humiliated, embarrassed and unworthy....had I given my power over to this 'symbol'. But it all comes down to Choice...

And I chose to accept my anger & hatred as doorways out of hell. I chose to understand the reflection he represented. I chose to heal. And through Love, I got to walk through Heaven's Gates... I became ONE with my reality, my thoughts, my beliefs, my many fractured aspects. I chose to embrace a lost 'me', a denied 'me', a suppressed 'me'. I brought him out, dusted him off, took a good, long, hard look...and I embraced him, accepted him as That I AM, and brought him Home. I could never have done this so swiflty if I hadn't created that situation exactly the way I did.

It is when the ONE sees ItSELF in its many relfections with abSOULute Love...that All becomes Whole.

What began as a very trying day soon transformed into a profoundly Divine One.

"It is only from a dream that One can Awaken...It is only from a chrysalis that a Butterfly can emerge...and it is only from Hell that Heaven can be reached."

Namaste.

YOUniversALL ONE : I AM.

ps : And another thing I came to realize from all of this - Regardless of whether it is served in a paper cup or a golden chalice, water is still water... It is in one's genuine appreciation of all things which goes to determine the quality of the experience.

'The Messenger should not be confused with the Message.'

And so it is.

SOL : I AM the Oversoul of this particular earth-expression. Namaste.

I have very recently attracted into O's orbit, a book titled 'The Reincarnation Of Edgar Cayce?' (Wynn Free & David Wilcock) . Orchestrated, were several synchronicities to guide him to, and point out to O (earth-expression: 'Oneironaut'), the importance of reading this book at this time...

Ancient Egypt; The 'Group Soul' of RA; Earth Changes & Polar Flips; Crop Circles & Sacred Geometry; Lucid Dreaming; Prophecy; Channelling; Space/Aliens/UFOs/The Solar System; Energy Healing; Tarot Symbolism; Synchronicity; DNA Activation; Ascension; All-Is-One; Re-embodyment (reincarnation); Oversouls; 2012; Akhenaten; The Galactic Center & Galactic Cycles; The Photon Band; Atlantis; The Giza Pyramids; The Matrix Illusion; The Hall Of Records; Maldek; Cosmic Wanderers & Walk-Ins; The Law Of One...

O will be very familiar with the RA energy signature (which released a physical blast of Light Wavicles in your years of 1973 & 1998/99 upon the Earth planet). And why O resonates with this material has become clear to him...

O has become very excited, inspired and re-ignited & energised by this particular reflection (presented in physical book form). Everything is (under the illusion of anyway) moving along perfectly.

...As it always is.

ONE in an Infinity of Ways : I AM.

Polar Opposites Finding Its Self

2005-02-03T01:51:00.000-08:00

I have a little something I enjoy saying whenever I'm approached by Christians...

"Why be a Christian, when I can BE a Christ?"

I never have to walk away because mark my word - they walk away faster than I ever could after saying that!

But in truth...I believe (Be/Live) something much deeper than that. I don't really pay much attention to 'religions' as such anymore. The way I see it - there are roughly 6.8 billion spiritual/religious viewpoints on the planet at this time. EVERY person is a walking, talking, Divine Point of You...

So rather than be a Christian (or even a Christ), or a Buddhist (or Buddha)...I AM quite content being an Omnitheist. And I AM at peace seeing everyone else in the world as their own divine, personal channels of/celestial links to...YOUniversALL Spirit.

I was raised a Catholic (which I now consider a much more dogmatic version of Christianity) but once I was old enough to free myself from the shackles of home...I went in search of all the world's various religions & spiritual beliefs (like a kid let loose in a candy store!) talking myself into the idea that each one held a piece...and that it wasn't until all the pieces were laid down side by side (quite like a gigantic, cosmic jigsaw puzzle)...that ONE PEACE could emerge. I still feel that way to a certain extent but now I realize that this pertains to people rather than religions. To me - religions are something people follow. Spirituality is something people simply ARE.

Can I share with you all here a little story?

Polar Opposites Finding Its Self...

Firstly, to prove that Love can certainly override differing beliefs, my younger sister and I were raised as Roman Catholics (though my mother was hardly very strict about it). As I branched off to study and embrace other religions and beliefs, she threw herself fully into becoming a Jehova's Witness.

Gotta tell you, mother was more mortified at my sister's new religion than at my dramatic proclamation many years earlier of my sexual preference!

Anyway, my point is this - We all choose paths which strengthen us in the end (and in every moment!), and everyone's 'lessons' are different.

My sister (like everybody) has chosen some interesting experiences & profound lessons ~ (almost dying giving birth to her first son because her religion does not allow blood transfusions under any circumstances; enduring years in an unhappy marriage to a criminal because her religion does not allow divorces; etc).

She went through that obligatory stage of continually quoting the Bible (never knew it had something to say about EVERYTHING...), and she of course, rejected the presents we all gave her for birthdays, Christmas, etc. She'd come and stay at my apartment, look through my eclectic collection of books and truly wonder how I could be at all focused with all those differing beliefs surrounding me.

I explained to her that my room was like a meditation in progress. The books represented every thought, opinion and belief imagined by humanity, yet here I AM...at the Center of it all...not subscribing to anything exclusively, yet embracing it All...

But she (& her beliefs) never did once annoy me. I understood this was her path, her choice, and if she believed it truly enriched her life, then so be it. If it empowers her in the end by leaving it (or transcending it - which she ultimately did some years later), then so be it. I was always aware of the fact too, that she was a reflection of my SELF...and how I chose to relate to her was a direct representation of how I was dealing with that part of my SELF firmly embedded in an organized belief structure. She helped me come to love (& heal) that aspect of my SELF she symbolized.

Anyway, whenever she couldn't understand my choices, I understood her. When she was perplexed by my books, I empathized with her (I mean, my copy of the Bible would be right up next to The Tao Te Ching; Kryon; The Koran; The Bhagavad Gita; Wiccan, Tarot, Astrology & Numerology books; Dream Books; Alien/UFO literature; Crop Circle books; Icke; Crowley; Jung; etc., etc.). And when she told me about Jehova, I was genuinely interested and intrigued. The whole thing is just a Choice certain people make in accordance with the 'lessons' of their path (as is the case with everything). She also was so much a part of me that she understood the life I was living. Yes, her religion frowned on 'alternative sexuality', but our Soul connection was too strong to be broken by a mere (earthly) religious belief.

We've both learnt so much from each others' journeys. We never judged one another, nor condemned one another (my mother was not so understanding however - but then, their relationship with each other has always had its own 'lessons'). We discussed, we communicated and we compared. We were like polar opposites finding a middle ground. My sister and I are best friends with wildly differing viewpoints on Life, reality, and the YOUniverse. And because of this, I can say that Unconditional Love truly conquers all...

In accepting me, she learnt that Jehova's love and compassion really is expressed THROUGH his 'followers' (& that 'He' wasn't as judgemental as everyone was making out). In my accepting her, I've discovered my own ability in accepting different opinions and beliefs as my own reflected...

And lastly ~ saw a gorgeous film once called 'Latter Days' - about a young Mormon guy who falls in love with an openly-out, gay party boy. Again, the Mormons as a general rule (and I know I'm generalizing here) do not accept homosexuality. So of course, our film's protagonist has to battle all his inner and outer 'demons' in order to find Love at the end of a muted rainbow.

What I found really interesting about this movie is that in an interview I read with its creator, the guy said it was quite autobiographical...in that, he saw the young Mormon missionary as his much younger self (he was, in fact a Mormon in his teens), and that the egotistical party boy who hits on the younger Mormon, represents himself in his own crazy, partying 20's.

He went on to state that during the writing and making of the film, he realized that both aspects of himSELF had something profound to teach the other...

It's like two polarized & opposing points coming together to understand their ONEness, yet still appreciating their YOUniqueness and differences.

And I guess, that's what this post has all been about...

Blessed Be,
Another (YOUnified) PEACE ov You : OM...

ps(st) - Thanks for making it this far...and double thanks for making it this close.

Caution : Mind-Bend Ahead

2004-12-28T22:29:00.000-08:00

SOL:

On Christmas Day, one of my Earth expressions ('O') spent the whole day with his favourite reflection (his best friend - 'T'), and together, they watched four episodes of the Steven Spielberg produced mini-series - 'Taken', about UFOs, abductees, contactees etc.

At one point, T commented to O that what the 'aliens' were doing to humans was wrong, as it took away their free will and freedom of choice.

EVERY BEING CHOOSES THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES IN ALLIGNMENT WITH THEIR OWN PROCESS OF RE-MEMBERING.

NO BEING IS A VICTIM...UNLESS THEY CHOOSE TO SEE THEMSELVES AS SUCH.

YOU CREATE EVERYTHING IN YOUR REALITY...

'O':

Hmmm, I guess if one was to know they do create everything in their reality, they would accept everything which came their way as their own self-created work of art in progress. And yet, if someone chose to believe that they don't create their own reality, then the ONEderful YOUniverse will only go to prove them right - thus proving the concept that they in fact, did create their own reality of thinking that they didn't (!?)
Caught in a Dream but think you're not? Then think again...

Ok, mind-bend in progress!

UFOs and all related phenomena fascinate me because I'm certain many people are taking all of it far too literally (the same applies to Life really...) I'm with Jung when he states that Flying Saucers are merely a manifested symbol of one's own 'higher', more mandala-like, revolving Mer-Ka-Ba Self.

As every physical thing is merely just a manifested 'symbol' of an inner process, and can be 'deciphered' as if one were interpreting a dream, it's highly interesting to see what 'aliens' and such may represent...on an individual as well as a collective level.

*Being probed at night by Greys?
As these types of 'aliens' are often likened to a hive-like, collective-based mentality...could it be a representation of our own emerging ONEness coming through the backdoor of our subconscious, poking at us out of fascination, trying to understand the intriguing concept of individuality?

*Aliens with big, emotionless eyes peering at us in the dark?
Are our Cosmic Selves yet to step out of our own self-made shadows and into the Light of our conscious line of sight?
Are we afraid we will lose our emotions and sense of individuality once we merge with the collective mind?
Are our Universal Aspects watching us wide-eyed whilst we sleepwalk through The Dream we call Life?

Could those abductees out there be those who are fighting their own emerging transformations, still holding onto the illusion that they are victims, and therefore creating the perceived reality that they are separate from anyONE else? Could their beliefs in separation be perpetuating their experiences of victimisation?

Could the contactees of the world be more at peace with their 'alien' side, thus creating the reality of diplomatic and even pleasurable communication with their benevolent and loving space-friends?

Wanna see where you're at?
Then take a look around you at what you're manifesting.
The only mirror worth looking into is the YOUniverse.

...yet it's only a twisted, tip-of-the-iceberg image of You.
The true You cannot be fully seen or comprehended in this dimension.
That's why we only ever see fragments of ourselves in this mirror fun-house of refracted reflections.
Use the 'mirror', but always remember...there's so much more behind it -
...namely, You - holding it up.

*Favourite Joke That No-one Really Seems To Get:

"Matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; We are all ONE consciousness experiencing itself subjectively; there's no such thing as death, Life is just a Dream; and we are the imagination of ourselves..."

~~~

Alrighty then.

Now for some 3D stuff. If music reflects one's inner moods, then I'm certainly on my way to some pretty sunny, inner beaches, filled with much dancing, percussion, singing and fun! Lately I just cannot get enough of Cuban music. It's so sensual, wild, joyous, fiery and frantic! Add to that also - Latin [the Lambada], Tango, Brazilian [Bebel Gilberto], Mambo [Snowboy], Rumba, Salsa, Bossa Nova, The Cha Cha...and French music (namely Edith Piaf, and those quaint jazzy/pop numbers from the 50's & 60's from the likes of: Charles Aznavour, Juliette Greco and Guillaume LeLoup). And also, I've just discovered the band, 'Pink Martini'. They really are quite fabulous. Their music is whimsical, evocative, sweet and sexy. They've recently released a new album - 'Hang On Little Tomato' (the follow up to their equally gorgeous 'Symphatique'). My god - where have they been all my life? Or more to the point...where have I been all my life?!?

Along with this new find are other perrenial favourites: The Gotan Project, Dimitri From Paris, Touch & Go, Mo' Horizons, St. Germain and Saint Etienne.

This crazy Cuban stuff I'm into right now nicely complements my ancient penchant for Middle Eastern, Northern African, Egyptian, Persian, Electro-Orient, Arabian and Indian music - which in my mind is much more reflective, meditative and soothing. And boy, is my middle-eastern section growing! It also sits alongside nicely with my taste for Blues, and Classical. My apartment resembles more of a CD & Books shop than a living quarters...which is why I love being there so much.

I've now found two complementing halves of the Whole...the Yin and the Yang, coming together to comprise the full Circle. My East has merged with my West, my right with my left, my feminine with my masculine...

And thank the heavens within that I have music to reflect back to me where I AM at on my little journey...

Keep dancing everyone, as if no-one is watching.
Oh Heck - Dance like EVERYONE is watching, and enJOY it!

That goes for you too - little aliens! (though I really do prefer the term - Space Brethren...)

~~~

To Add:

This wonderful planet of ours is only 4.55 billion years old.

WE however, are eternal.

Now I've never really been any good at Maths (though for some reason, Numerology was my first 'metaphysical' love...), but it seems to me that all of us here are in fact, 'extra-terrestrials' [ie: not of this Earth].

We're only ever like cosmic tourists - visiting (or alternatively - setting up) various countless planets throughout the many infinite universes, living lives on them - and all the while, suffering from a kind of collective amnesia.

Quite a cute little set-up we have created for ourselves really.

To all you ONEderful YOUniversal BEings ~ You may not recall reading the Travel Brochure, but you certainly 'paid the price' to be here.

You made the trip, unpacked your bags, checked in at Reception, and enjoyed the Buffet Breakfast...

Happy Holy-Days One & all.

...and here's hoping that everyone has a room with a God's Eye View!

An 'Incredible' Analogy

2004-12-28T21:52:00.000-08:00

Has anyone else noticed the rather ONEderful metaphoric message in the film: 'The Incredibles' ?

Namely, that the 'Higher Vibrationals' (call us what you will: Indigos, Crystal Humans, Walk-Ins, the New Breed, etc) have, for the last several decades, had to blend in to maintain the illusion of a mundane society of accepted norms and limitations.

We've had to 'tone down' our psychic abilities, our supernormal capabilities, and our 'incredible-ness'.
"Stand out!" our advertising billboards tell us..."By dressing the same! Buy this! Drink that! Our mass-produced clothing line lets You express your unique individuality!!!"

Hmmm.

Psychics are largely ridiculed by the media - yet used (most often in secret) by police, the military etc to solve crimes, remote-view, find missing persons...

Mediums and Channellers are often misunderstood by the majority, yet more and more individuals are beginning to book sessions with them.

Yes, the Higher Vibrationals are stepping out from behind their corporate desks and fully exercising their wonderful talents. And it's happening en masse. The film may just be another of our 'Wake Up calls'...calling into action those of us who are sleeping their ways through The Dream.

The film extolls the virtues of family and friendship, and the need to co-operate as a single, effective unit by incorporating all the individual talents of 'the group'. I found the movie inspiring, 'timely' and exciting.

There's also an interesting statement on how you reap what it is you have once sown. Treat others with contempt, and the big mother monster of contempt will invariably raise its head in your direction sometime in your future...

The greatest demon there is - is ultimately the one You yourself have created, fed and grown.

On a much lighter note...how excellent is Violet's force-field! It totally rocks!

Stay Incredible everyONE.

This Time It's Personal.

Beware : The following is a 3D moment:

*Today's Events:
Woke up, then woke up, then woke up again. Hmmm. Went to Internet Caffe and discovered that for some reason, for the past year I'd been blocked from receiving many of my friends' emails. And here I thought they'd just been abducted by aliens and escorted to a galaxy far far away! I was so jealous of them (at the time). So I de-blocked them all and am eagerly awaiting the results of being in the 'loop' once again.

I go to a second-hand record store and buy a 2CD compilation of 90's hits. Such classics!

I work on my book "The Oneironauts' Club". I speak with a friend from Sydney via that MSN Chat thing. My head-phoned soundtrack for the day has been 'I Find You Very Attractive' by Touch & Go; 'Lost In A Garden Of Clouds' by Alpha; and 'Contact Note' by Jon Hopkins - Bangin', strangely sublime, and ethereal ~ respectively.

I wonder at various stages in the day if I'm still in bed dreaming it all up...

I read some music magazines on my bed, my fan lazily 'fanning' away, a light rain falling outside. The 90's CD is really funny. I mean - Vanilla Ice right after Shakespeare's Sister...(say it's not possible!) I update my Dream Journal. I think about eating. I rearrange & dust the crystals on my meditation table.

And now I've come back to this caffe, and am writing this. By the way, today was my 'Sunday'... Oh and looking outside, I notice it's sunny for the first time today. Lovely.

*What I'm reading at the moment:
'Same Soul, Many Bodies' - Dr. Brian Weiss [engrossingly mesmerising]
'Autobiography Of A Yogi' - Paramahansa Yogananda [engrossingly profound]
'Other Worlds' - Michael D. Lemonick [engrossingly outta this world]

*What I'm looking forward to:
A holiday. Finishing writing "The Oneironauts' Club". Seeing the films: 'The Motorcycle Diaries', and 'I Heart Huckabees'. Seeing my family again.

*Most recent written piece:
The poem - 'Another Day In Paradox' (which I've included in the 'Poetry Emotion' section of this site). I wrote it in order to accept, embrace, and thus unconditionally love, my multidimensional Self - and all its many sides & aspects. One of the most honest things I've written this year. It was quite a cathartic & healing experience...as I wrote it, and later reflected upon it.

*Great music to chillout to at night:
Depeche Mode's new album of remixes.
Mazzy Star.
Classical from the Baroque period.
Anything soothing featuring cello, sitar or the Shakuhachi flute.

*Great music to dance naked to:
Despina Vandi.
Gwen Stefani.
Bob Sinclar.
mr Timothy.

*Recent Interesting Dream:
I'm on a starship and I'm developing a holographic ship detector (that's SHIP, not shit, detector). It's my great new idea. It's a device which continuously transforms itself in order to locate similar wavelengths through like-frequency recalibration detectors. It works by emitting a pulsing multi-directional signal sweep out through deep space.

...Then I woke up and had to pee.

*Continuing Synchronicities:
Seeing the numbers 444 everywhere. This is almost always followed by some reference to Angels in one way or another.

*A quote that has stuck in my mind recently:

So there you go. In honour of the physical world of length, width and height; of Duality; of the senses; of the seemingly separate; of the illusory & 'life-like'...I embrace thee with open and grateful arms ~ For providing me with a hobby, a realm to dream in, and a place to play in. This is a celebration of the Human.

I dance under a shower of infinite Grace.

A Dolphin's Dream of Me...

2004-11-27T23:47:00.000-08:00

A Dolphin Dream within a Human Dream within a God Dream...?

The following is a gorgeous dream I had a while ago in which I met my Dolphin Guide:

I was swimming in a very large pool of water. Then I realized there was a Dolphin in there with me. We swam & played, swam & played, swam & played for what seemed like hours. It was a truly joyous time. I felt really close to this beautifully wise being. And it seemed we were communicating with each other telepathically the entire time. This Dolphin admitted that it was a kind of Spirit Guide to me...a Soul Guardian...my Totem Animal. Then, putting all play aside for a moment, Dolphin asked me (telepathically) if (with my consent) I wanted to understand & learn the meaning of Trust. I said Yes.

Dolphin then asked me to swim with it to the bottom of the pool. I followed. Then it pinned me to the floor, firmly holding me there, settling its body on top of me, keeping me from being able to move or break free. At first I thought we were still playing, but then I became perplexed and realised I wasn't going anywhere in a hurry. With my arms & legs flailing wildly about, I couldn't understand what was happening. Then I panicked, thinking that if I didn't get to air soon, I'd suffocate, drown and die! Why was Dolphin doing this?!

I held my breath for as long as I could. In desperate exasperation, I looked into Dolphin's eyes, whereby I received the message, "Inhale. Inhale. Inhale!" Not being able to hold on any longer, I surrendered - and took in a huge gulp of water. To my utter shock & astonishment, I realized that I was breathing under water. I didn't drown. I was still alive! I was perfectly fine. And safe. And breathing water as if it were the most natural thing in the world for me to do! Then I realised, I hadn't been pinned down at all...I had simply been hugged, held, EMBRACED.

Dolphin once again, looked deep into my eyes and conveyed this to me : "There you go...You've just discovered the meaning of Trust". I also came to realise that the pool I'd been in the whole time, was now filled with my own tears of gratitude. I was...swimming in Love. And I came to understand the profound role & significance Dolphin would always have in my Life from that dream/day onwards...

To my Dolphin Guide : I Love You. Thank You. Namaste.

Ever since I had that dream (probably around the year 2000 or 2001?), I've always felt a real affinity for these amazingly beautiful & wise beings (have quite a few Dolphin pics around my apartment and a lovely Dolphin windchime at my kitchen window). I've never actually gone swimming with them in real life, but the energy of that particular dream has stayed with me ever since. And I must say, every time I read a news article on dolphins or watch footage of them, my eyes never fail to well up. They really produce quite the emotional response from me!

Another Point of You : OM...

ps(st) - Synchronistically, now I seem to be seeing dolphins everywhere! Funnily enough, every year I put up a new Crop Circle calendar in my room (just love having pictures of them all around my apartment!). Anyways, recently I flipped over my calendar, and what is this month's Crop Circle of? Yes, a Dolphin (or as Croppies call them - a Dolphinogram)

*And appearing on June 2nd 2009, we now have this one:

Flippin FINtastic!

(Hmmm ~ the new June 2nd formation looks remarkably like one of my sign-off OM pics...!)

OM...

Like A Life Review.

2004-11-21T21:45:00.000-08:00

Went out of my way today to hunt down a peculiar little film at the cinemas: 'The Final Cut'.

Dealing with people being implanted with little audio/visual receivers since birth...the film is all about a 'Cutter' (played by Robin Williams) whose job is to compile footage of a person's entire life (recorded through their eyes by the mini-camera), for what is called a 'Rememory' - a one & a half hour 'movie' of their life, to be played at their funeral.

Kinda reminded me of the old 'life-review' that we're all apparently meant to experience after this present incarnation we're all living.

The movie alludes to all types of ethical, philosophical and existential questions regarding one's right to privacy (as those implanted have to be told of their inner-camcorders by the age of 21). An Implant cannot be retrieved until after the person's death.

Topics mentioned: People committing suicide at the thought that every one of their actions is being recorded; Do people become 'better' knowing this same thing?; People being afraid or ashamed to masturbate; What to leave in/delete from a Rememory; Can retrieved footage be used to condemn living accomplices of crime?; How can a 'Cutter' decide how a person's life should be viewed?; Can a deceased person's will and idea of how they want their Rememory to be spliced together be over-ridden by their family's wishes?; Do our memories correspond with actual past events?; Is nothing personal or sacred?; Are we playing God...and should we be?

How would You deal with the revelation that your entire Life has been, is, and will be recorded...from inside your own head...until your death?

It was totally compulsive viewing. Kinda reminded me in a way of the scenes in 'Being John Malkovitch' (one of my faves by the way), when Cameron Diaz's character was looking out of John Malkovitch's eyes.

I saw 'The Final Cut' as the close cousin of my previous post 'Truman Town'. Whereas that premise involved a person's life being recorded from 'outside' himself, this film deals with capturing a person's life from 'their' point of view - seeing things from their own eyes.

I see these types of films as an emerging symbolic statement that we are beginning to realise, recognise & remember that essentially, We are all One - or to put it more precisely...that it is The One viewing Itself (the Universe) 'through' the eyes of Its seemingly many infinite 'selves'.

Why did you create all of your friends, family, workmates, etc? So You could view yOUR Self through their eyes. And vice versa, 'they' created 'you' to see themselves through your eyes. Now let's do away with all pronouns and 'them' and 'I' and 'us' and 'you' and just say: I AM sees 'through' infinite I's (or eyes).

The YOUniverse views Itself through 'you', 'me' and 'them' over there.
The One Being many : I AM.
The One with infinite eyes : I AM.
The YOUniverse...being...everyOne : I AM.

The film's cinema run has been a short one as, I think, it's gone a little over the heads of the typical 'popcorn crowd'. Not enough car-chases I suppose.

Your Parallel Self & Alternate Viewpoint : I AM.

ps : Trust me, your own Life Review will make all of this much clearer...in the end.
