There is a power that brings us from a highest to a lowest state, and then brings us to the point where we can reveal the qualities of the creator within us.

Thought of Existance: Create a creature and fill that creature with unbounded delight.

Force created 5 spiritual worlds each one less and less like the original unbounded life.
Adam Kadmon, Atzilut, Beriya, yetzira, Assiya...Worlds make up the force of the Will to bestow on us beneath these worlds, us having the will to recieve. hmm

Travel from state of separate egoism apart from creator up thru the 4 worlds once again to unification. As we travel thru the worlds we use each world to reveal in us those inner states in us that are like the creator. Each world is a level of soul that is revealed to us.

The Torah ( the stories) is a manual showing the pattern of the creation and descent of the soul, and a guide to it's correction and reunification.

8/1/08 11:49 pm - Our Forgotten Future

Our Forgotten Future
Daniel Pinchbeck

The following article originally appeared in Conscious Choice Magazine.(2007)




The future is not what it used to be. What does our future look like from this particular point in time? Scanning the distressing ecological data, we might find ourselves reminded of Marlene Dietrich¹s exit line to Orson Welles in Touch of Evil: "Your future's all used up." From the Oscar-nominated Children of Men to Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road, recent portraits of what may be coming down the pike have distinctly faded to black - sterile, war-torn wastelands where huddled masses forage for survival. These visions reflect the images we see from today's Iraq, Afghanistan and Darfur. They suggest a darkening of the collective psyche, a reduced capacity to envision a way out from the encroaching crises that we intuit but lack the will or courage to confront. Novels and films of apocalypse function as avoidance mechanisms, allowing us to imagine global doom from a comfortably alienated vantage point.

As the mainstream absorbs no-exit narratives of breakdowns ahead, the New Age and spiritual set have seized upon an almost antithetical attitude of naïve positivity, reflected in wildly popular works like What the Bleep Do We Know? and The Secret. From this perspective, the individual¹s psychic state determines his or her physical reality, and the occult laws of attraction can be utilized to increase one¹s bank account or sexual magnetism. If you haven't cashed out, it is because you are not using your psychic powers at their maximum rate. If other people aren't getting theirs' yet, it's not your problem, but their bad karma. This is a metaphysics suited to the narcissism of the baby boomers and the "Me Generation," whose lifestyles have denuded the planet's rainforests and ripped big holes in the ozone layer.

What makes this perspective so seductive is that there are fragments of truth in it. In my own life and the lives of many people I know, the power of intention is becoming more evident. Reality seems increasingly psychic, as we relearn, step by step, the lessons of synchronicity and nonduality well known to tribal shamans and realized mystics. However, as we access what Carl Jung called "the reality of the psyche," we also discover the huge gap between the small-time desires of the ego and the deeper purposes of the Self, our complete personality, encompassing conscious and unconscious elements. The Self doesn't give a hoot if we drive a fancy car or score with supermodels, and might even prefer to smash the delusions of the ego to incite a deeper realization.

Although I published a book on indigenous prophecy and the year 2012, which ends the 5,125-year Long Count of the Maya, my thoughts on the future continue to fluctuate (as Ralph Waldo Emerson noted, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds"). Between the various camps of technological utopians (see Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near), ecological pessimists, left-wing conspiracists, rapture-ready fundamentalists and New Age fantasists, one can experience schizo delirium. Is it possible that sudden crisis, such as coastal flooding or nuclear
terrorism, will lead to a system meltdown that will change everything? Is it conceivable that most of the world will continue to disintegrate as wealthy First Worlders get stem cell injections, new DNA and nanobot implants? Or perhaps a rapid shift in global consciousness will lead to a new compassionate planetary culture, with shared resources and technologies based on nontoxic processes and biomimickry? In any event, unless the Law of Attraction can overcome the basic laws of physics, a contraction of industrial civilization seems inevitable.

The trickster element undermining all future predictions is the reality of the psyche, and the possibility that psychic energy could be harnessed for purposes of planetary transformation. If we look back at the Industrial Revolution, before the 18th century, people had experienced lightning and shocks, but nobody had any idea how to make use of electricity. Once we figured this out, we changed the geophysical conditions of the planet in a century and a half ‹ not even a blink in evolutionary time. What if we are hovering on the brink of learning how to access and make use of psychic energy in a similar way? If this were the case, it would require a different approach from the modern scientific method, allowing no place for subjectivity. Psychic effects cannot be separated from subjective realizations. Creating the conditions in which psychic intention might interact with and influence the material world would require a deep sensitivity to unquantifiable aspects of human experience such as mood, atmosphere and emotion.

Considering this, it is possible that works like The Secret and What the Bleep have real importance. They could be transitional expressions, pointing us toward a new paradigm of psychic energy and intention that will become more sophisticated as it develops. It seems likely that the current interlocked problems facing our world simply cannot be solved by rational means ­ but they might be dissolved, if they are approached from a different level of consciousness, and a deeper realization of the psyche.

I've been getting interested in the perspectives of Jewish Renewal and Tikkun magazine, and their marriage of spirituality with progressive social change. I feel that all this information is relevant to my mission and i will maybe be working with them at some point.

8/16/07 10:10 pm

I found this BBS internet radio station today, and it jogged a dream and a feeling of mine that one next step for me or one thing that i should be getting into is radio in some way. It has just felt as if i'm being pulled in that direction for a little while now and more confirmation of that and reminder of that today again. I've been trying to piece different pieces together of what wants to "happen" here and with these various ideas i've been takling about with people. The artists' organization or a center with Rich, the "artists website", the environmentally focused group...Tom has also been getting feelings that he should start up a radiostation again this time in Ferndale, so maybe something could work out with that. I gather pieces here and there and more pieces get revealed to me of the bigger picture of what i'm supposed to be doing and how i'm supposed to be using and contributing from things i've been thru and learning on my asccension path. There is still not as much clarity as i would like and still in a researching, gathering, connecting, healing, unfolding phase...I know it involved transformation of culture in Detroit, the arts or artists, healing divisions, liberation from unsustainable dynamics, community development, a center maybe community for artists and healing, intentional community, gardening, pursuing soul evolution and right work instead of compromise, parties, shamanism, music singing, hmm many very nice things...It is just a little alienating sometimes walking around with all this, with this developing process and the way i pursue my work like this and sometimes having difficulty ansewring the question of just what i "do".

8/10/07 06:38 pm

I am somewhere new now, but i'm not sure where exactly or who exactly or what or where or when, but it's alright cuz it's what it's supposed to be. Lots of density and rules are gone, but still a little guilt about what the leftovers are nagging me about not doing. They will be gone soon and i will be more me soon.

6/19/07 12:57 pm - Need to confront dark forces resisting Sustainable Community

POSSIBLE PLAGUE IN THE COMMUNITY GARDENS

"When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today will be stormy; it is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the face of the earth, sea and sky, yet you do not discern the signs of the times."
-- Jesus, Matthew 16, 2-3

June 17, 2007

Dear Friends:

I sat in at the Sustainable Communities Summit at the Sustainable Commons of the Fremont Solstice Festival held here in Seattle at Gas Works Park on Saturday, June 16, 2007. I came late and sat in the back; I was the tall brunette clad in black and white patterns and a white hat sitting silently in a folding quad chair near the back of the circle.

I was impressed by the many chapters of Sustainable Communities All Over Puget Sound (SCALLOPS) that had sprung up, like many beautiful and bountiful community gardens, within so short a time in so wide a space; I was likewise impressed by the dedicated energy shown by the representatives of these chapters, who spoke concerning the many aspects of their efforts to grow sustainability in their respective communities.

One aspect that I did not hear directly addressed much concerns me, as I feel it should concern you as core coordinators of this much-needed movement: that what you are doing, whether you are aware of it or not, is extremely subversive to the dark forces of empire presently controlling the government of the United States and most of the governments of the planet. I had with me a sign of the times that I did not raise at the meeting, not wishing to appear like the Christian fundamentalists who had brandished threatening Bible quotes at prominent places along the Solstice Parade route; this sign said simply, "Ask me about 9/11 Truth."

It should be a warning to the community sustainability movement that Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and present top-tier neoconservative presidential candidate, has not only been implicated in the terrorist attacks on his city of September 11, 2001; he has also been the well-documented national leader of terrorist attacks on the community sustainability movement in many cities, first as the mayor of New York, then as an exorbitantly compensated "urban consultant" imported by developers in many metropolitan areas for this destructive purpose. Most of the other mainstream presidential candidates of both parties are largely sponsored by corporate forces hostile to community sustainability.

The Supreme Court of the United States, that also appointed George Bush as our ruler in 2000, two years ago gave sanction to the practice of municipalities using eminent domain to appropriate community property, as well as that of individual citizens and small businesses, for corporate development -- the practice pioneered by Giuliani in New York a decade earlier when he evicted urban homesteaders and community gardeners from abandoned property, subsequently selling it to upscale developers for the gentrification of affordable neighborhoods. He has recently influenced the minority mayor of Los Angeles and to launch such efforts against his own people, displacing them from city property on which were located community gardens, farmers' markets and affordable housing.

I came to Seattle three years ago from another ecoparadise with a vital sustainability movement: Asheville, the jewel of the Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina, where I originally went with my then-partner, a master builder/gardener, to join the Earth Haven Ecovillage. By an unexpected series of events, I ended up one of the lead activists in several community sustainability action networks that stopped/mitigated nine major assaults against this our movement within an intense three-year period. I am now here in Seattle partly because I was blacklisted for my successful efforts to halt these assaults against sustainable communities, and could not any more find remunerative work in that already economically distressed bioregion. Virtually all public record of my work there has since been erased from newspaper and video archives.

These assaults included: an attempt to build three SuperWalmarts, one for each major municipal district in this town of 100,000 people; an effort to widen I-26 to eight lanes through the historic heart of this scenic city so that nuclear waste could be transported over narrow mountain passes from Oakridge National Nuclear Laboratory in Tennessee to the Savannah River Reactor in South Carolina; an attempt to build an unnecessary construction waste dump in the viewshed of the Blue Ridge Parkway; an attempt to criminalize homelessness and legitimate use by citizens of public parks; an attempt to completely gentrify the river warehouse district to eliminate affordable live/work spaces for artists; an attempt to criminalize natural healthcare through stealth legislation in the state legislature; and an attempt to privatize the public square with breath-taking views of the surrounding mountains to profitably prohibit the free speech being so vigorously practiced there.

Though often not explicitly political, a vital sustainable communities movement is in fact extremely threatening to the global corporate elite -- the ones who actually hate our freedom and seek to systematically destroy it in all of its forms -- including energy-, healthcare- and food-, economically-independent, politically empowered sustainable communities of citizens whom they cannot control.

It is therefore of urgent importance that those who seek to grow the community sustainability movement in America organize in such a manner as to address the underlying evils that the Amercian Empire has inflicted on the peoples of the planet, including the American people, which the state-sponsored terrorist attacks of September 11th represent. This includes actively and proactively joining with political activists seeking to directly address systemic issues, to pull out forever at its root the warfare-based economy that has driven such abominations against our planet and its peoples since the dawn of recorded history. The efforts of the sustainable communities movement will otherwise be like that of planting community gardens on an unremediated Superfund site -- self-deceptive, shallow plantings whose fruits will be ultimately toxic not only to our own bodies and souls, but to our existence as a movement.

Most sincerely,

Rebecca Em Campbell

Destiny: 33
The Destiny number describes the life lessons that we have come here to learn. It reveals to us the path we must take, and the role we must play to fulfill our mission. Often our choice of career is based on this vibration, and if not, then it will manifest through avocational pursuits. We may attract people and experiences into our lives that mirror the traits of this number for us, so that we may develop into our highest potential. We don't always welcome our life lessons, so it is a possibility that we may even feel an aversion to the characteristics of our Destiny number in other people, and we may ourselves act the opposite. In spite of the many ways we may choose to react to this force within us, we have been gifted with all of the talents and energy needed to fulfill our Destiny.

As the higher octave of the number 6, "master number" 33 is the number of compassion. It is called the Christ vibration and requires self-sacrifice, courage and unwavering commitment to reform , truth and healing. You are on a "mission", and other teachers will learn from your honesty, discipline and bravery. You are here to provide sustenance for the hungry, whether it be through food, beauty, education, ministry or medicine. Yours is the path of "savior".

5/28/07 12:40 pm - Energy Healing

I was just reading the account of a woman who brought her son who was going thru very rough times with cocaine and alcohol addiction and other problems in his life to seek a certain type of energetic treatment. It was called something like Zero point field technology, and seemed to work with and restore the luminous energy field and remove old debris, etc. She described the change in her son as miraculous, restoring him to his core personality as she had once knew him. I am drawn myself to finding a healing technology or teqnique that has such a short and powerful effect that i can use on others. I have learned other teqniques that don't seem to work as quickly, and perhaps something like that could complement healing work I could do with others. I am drawn to being able to restore people to themselves like that, and know people who could benefit...people in my life who i want to see restored to more of the people they once were. I have learned things to pass on to other people that help bring understanding about life patterns and problems and potentials, but I haven't known exactly how I could help people to liberate from these patterns in the best way and restore themselves. I hope to be shown and connected to a powerful healing teqnique that i can use like this..

I think i might want to learn how to use a Yamaha:

The RM1x is a great new pattern based instant dance music machine! It sounds great! The patterns are perfect and inspiring forms of trance, house, hardcore and more with tons of great analog-like sounds and drum kits. The RM1x also features plenty of effects, filters, knobs, and MIDI control. The patterns have a whopping 16 parts (that you can drop-in or out in real-time performances) for lavish and professional productions. Making dance music has never been easier!

For those of you who want to get a little deeper into creating your own tracks, patterns and sounds, there is more. As if the awesome preset patterns aren't enough for you, creating your own 'phrases' is easy. You can modify a phrase's variation, instruments, sounds, tempo, filtering, LFO, and effects until you've morphed it into something of your own. Then store it into one of the 50 user patches. Creating an entire song is also pretty easy. Knobs, mutes, and patterns can be changed on the fly or meticulously programmed in. For the best all-in-one music box that will make you famous for a day - chose the RM1x over the rest! It is used by Apollo 440, Crystal Distortion, and Signal Electrique.
