I am a teacher of the New Consciousness.  It’s what I do.

What is New Consciousness?  It is a way of looking at reality that is as different from what people currently think, as when people learned that Earth went around the Sun as opposed to the Sun around Earth.  And that’s not just something to think about… it’s something to actually experience. You see, we think about it.  We see a picture of Earth rotating, circling the sun and say, “yeah, yeah,… how stupid of those Medieval people.  How could they not see it?”  But go back to their particular experience and when you do, don’t just think about “Sun around Earth” as an idea but feel “Sun around Earth” in your body as the absolute and verifiable  truth.  How can it not be? You can see with your own eyes that the moon goes around and the sun goes around and the stars go around even farther away.   And there’s nothing beyond that.  What do you mean there’s another way?

Well… that’s where we are today relative to New Consciousness.

And so the Tao of the New Consciousness is finished. Eighty-one verses have been written… the last one was posted yesterday…  along with an introduction and now it’s a case of final editing and getting the Handbook of the New Consciousness up to the same level.  I did realize, of course, that none of this is necessary, required, or mandated.  Is it destined to change the world?  Maybe… or maybe not… I just don’t know it. However, I do know that it is what I want to do and so… why not?

Big discussion today with my son about the state of words in America today.  Apparently, “All Lives Matter” has been co-opted by opponents of “Black Lives Matter” rather than being a higher and more universal goal and vision.   “The road to truth is blocked by vowels and consonants”, said Khanna, a Buddhist monk over a thousand years ago.  It is still true today.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood and I am heading out with my wife to a picnic put together by the hospice for which I work.  Nurses, social workers, home health aides, administrators, and one chaplain… getting together to have fun, meet each others’  families, and reinforce the team work that makes us as good as we are.  And isn’t this the key to the whole big picture… individually we can each do so much… but together, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Yes. You are God.  And so is everybody else.

God… Universal Consciousness…The One… The Self… Dark Energy… The Void… All That Is… The Tao… “I AM”… Satchitananda… Brahma… Allah… Jahweh… The Big Kahuna… The Cosmic Muffin… Grand Unification Theory… and even The Jewel of Truth.

Just think what we can do when we work together.

Last night as I was going to sleep, a thought crossed my mind that I said I should use as today’s post. It was really very good… but I forget what it was.  Just another case of doing something when you think about it rather than putting it off till later.  How often does that happen?  Good intentions that never see the light of day.

Here’s the difference between I and ‘I’…

I use my skills and abilities to

look out for me.

‘I’ use my skills and abilities to

look out for everyone.

Who am I/’I’?

A special experience during my hospice rounds today.  Went to see a patient for the very first time. She was in bed, lying on her back, eyes closed, breathing shallowly.  I spoke her name and she heard my voice and turned her head, although her eyes did not open.  It was clear that she could hear me so I told her I was a Spiritual Counselor and had come to make sure she was not in any pain and not afraid. She never spoke or opened her eyes but made hand signals in response to my questions indicating that she did believe in God but had no particular religion.  At one point she made scribbling motions in the air and I handed her a piece of paper, a pen and held my notebook for her to write on. She wrote… “my favorite psalm, The Lord is my shepherd,” which I then recited. She folded her hands over her chest as I spoke, and smiled.  “Can you say, ‘Amen’?” I asked her. “Amen”, she whispered.  It was the only word she spoke during my visit and when I left she was still smiling.  I believe I wrote last week about how inspiring these visits are for me.  This should explain why.

When ‘I’ finally realize

we are all connected

by our “I”…

I will finally stop

doing things that hurt

apparent others.

Why would ‘I’ want

to hurt

myself?

For the last several days I have not been eating… just don’t want to… have lost weight and feel very lethargic.  I don’t feel sick, merely tired with no desire for food.  I’m not concerned.  If it continues for several more days I  might consider having my doctor check me out.  Meanwhile, just more experiences of being human.  I guess I should finish the books I’m writing just in case it is for real.

Inside I see all these possibilities

I could do this…

I could do this…

I could do this…

Which do I want to make physical?

I could do this…

I could do this…

I could do this…

Stop thinking… Choose one.

That was the challenge in the first place.

I have suddenly started eating less and losing weight, something I’ve been wanting to do for many, many years.  Why?  I don’t know.  I also am reading Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History Of Time, and can’t help wondering if, like the universe, I have reached the ultimate point of my expansion, and am beginning my contraction back to a singularity point equal to that which existed before I was born?  In either case, I am feeling good, healthy, and time seems to be moving in the proper direction.

Sat-chit-ananda…

that’s what some people call the Oneness.

The name is made up of three words

Existence… Consciousness… Bliss…

from the inside it feels like

“I am… I’m aware that I am… Wow!”

Sat-chit-ananda

That’s how we all should feel.

I still find it amazing that terrorist groups can proudly announce to the world that they are the ones responsible for suicide bombings and mass killings inflicted on innocent bystanders.  One can only hope that their God… whatever name they use… sits them down in the other side of the big divide and clearly indicates that murder is not the way to find eternal peace.  Unfortunately, no one has come back from such a meeting to report to the group that they are handling it all wrong.  Amazing how stupid people can be when they put their mind to it.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other

In fact you cannot have one without the other

No dark without light…

no light without dark

And once they are both there…

It’s where you look that gives anything meaning

dark is not evil… it is just the absence of light

light is not good… it is just the absence of dark

I was reading the Sunday paper… a column I often read by Willie Brown, a former mayor of San Francisco, state assemblyman, and lifetime politician.  As usual, he was describing some events he had been invited to participate in, and the parties, and the important people he had been hanging with.  I don’t begrudge him any of that, in fact, I find it kind of humorous, all the things he ‘has’ to do, the places he ‘has’ to be, the business of his life.

I like it simple.  Nowhere to go… nothing to do… just hang out and breathe deeply and enjoy life… enjoy ‘being’ as opposed to ‘doing’.  My wife was away for several weeks and I just lived quietly and it was nice.  Of course, I missed her, but it’s nice to live in a feeling of Eden… to feel that there is nothing special you have to do to have made it worthwhile to have gotten up in the morning.  I am… I am aware that I am… Wow!

When I get into the right space

I see possibilities.

Well I don’t actually ‘see’ them…

out there.

I ‘feel’ them…

in here.

Yes. Yes. A sudden knowing.

This vision in my mind

that I’d like to happen

could become a real

measurable thing

in the 3D world.

If I really want to focus my energy…

…out there…

and turn all these waves into

…particles.
