Awesome realization today.  One of the things I had to say yet found so hard to say… “I AM” God… but so are you and so are you…” sounds so lame.   Well… I finally figured out how to do it… a way to bring the outside in.  G0 on Kickstarter or some website like that and my product…[“I AM”… The GOD Experience].  And once they click, I can still be small human me, explaining that all I am is a teacher.  How cool is that?

All I have to do to shape the future

is to make the world outside…

…in front of my eyes

agree with what I see…

…in back of my eyes.

Since that is true for everyone…

wouldn’t it be nice…

…if what I want

were the same as what…

…other I’s want

But how can that be

when we are all so different?

Different talents, skills,

likes, dislikes, desires.

What can we all aim for?

How about a world of peace…

Where we can all use our

Different talents, skills,

likes, dislikes, desires.

for the good of all.

I may have been avoiding the issue by doing what I’ve always done, namely, writing new stuff, editing old stuff, and thinking that somehow or other, the differences in what I’ve written this time versus what I’ve been writing over the past years is somehow better and going to get this material out there… which, after all, is the purpose for writing it in the first place.  Perhaps what I really need to do is the one thing I’ve been hoping someone else will pick up on and do for me… namely market this stuff.  Get it out there where people can see it.  I may have to learn to use social media after all.

The goal is to change the world outside

to match a vision of the world inside.

Perpetual Peace and Universal Understanding

Is that really too much to ask?

What are the chances… one person changing the world?

Might be difficult, starting from such a small platform.

But what if I can share my ideas with others

and have them impact and change the world?

Which will that connection be? Who knows?

One will connect. Which one? Does it matter?

It is too easy to sit on the couch and do sudokus.  The mind goes on autopilot, I fill in some numbers, there’s always something I need to find.  Ah… there it is.  Now back to looking for something else. And when I’m done?  Turn the page and start again.  It can go on forever and  by the end of the day, I’ve kept my mind active and alert and ready… to do more sudokus.

Today, I will do something different.  I will consciously and intently write ten verses for the Tao book. I will keep my mind active and alert and by the end of the day, the planned book will be closer to completion.  Below is the first of today’s verses.

Look at the world around you.

Listen to the nightly news.

How can people do what we do to each other?

How can people do what we do to ourselves?

What if we knew who we really were?

What if we knew we were really all One?

Would we still treat each other this way?

Would we still think life is a contest?

It’s amazing how two different people sharing a single conversation can be so far apart regarding what they hear being said and what they believe it means.  Nothing is factual.  Everything is experienced through individual understandings and personalities.  No wonder there is so little agreement on where to aim and how to get there.

I am in between inside and outside.

Inside is in here… inside me.

Outside is out there… outside me.

Inside are visions of my dream world.

Outside are visions of my physical world.

Both sets of visions are real.

If my inside and outside visions are in sync…

I am in perfect harmony in life.

I am happy.

If my inside and outside visions are not in sync…

I can change the outside world…

or I can change my inner visions.

I can change the outside world

by how I interact with it…

fulfilling my visions.

I can change my inside world

by how I let the outside world…

kill my dreams.

At brunch this morning, it was perfectly clear, how conversations between people have changed.  One person was speaking about movies and making facial expressions that emphasized or illustrated the points being made, while another person was looking down at an iPhone and adding factual information to the conversation, but completely unaware of the facial expressions which used to be considered as important parts of communication.  Not that one way is right and the other wrong… they are just different.  Humanity is evolving.

I have an inside.

I have an outside.

Without both

I have nothing.

not even my

Another beautiful day in paradise.  Yoga this morning and absolutely nothing planned for the rest of the day.  How cool is that. Little by little the Tao is happening.  Well before the end of the year it should be done.  But even so, there is no hurry, no need to force anything, no need to do anything but follow my three rules of life… Be Happy… Be Kind… That’s It.

#38

When I am alone…

I should be happy.

When I am with someone else…

I should be kind.

Really…

What else is there?

As we reach the half way point of the year, just a reminder about why I’m doing this.  First, I was challenged on New Year’s Eve to do something in the coming year that was uncomfortable.  I chose to blog every day for a year. The subject of the blog was to track my New Consciousness activities and see if, indeed, there has been any progress in getting the word ‘out there’.  Well, we’re half way to the goal of the blog… whether we are halfway to the goal of getting the word out there remains to be seen.

Normally, we tend to look outside at the world around us…

The trees, the news, the neighbors, our bank account.

We hardly ever look inside us and ask the question…

Who is it who is looking out in the first place.

Good day.  Saw seven hospice patients.  Said prayers, gave them confidence, made them laugh, supported their caregivers… and got paid to boot.  Not a bad way to spend the time.

Dr. Seuss would have called it… “On Beyond Human”…

the evolutionary leap we’re about to take.

It won’t look like much of a change…

from the outside…

we will still look like humans…

from the outside…

rock to plant…

plant to animal…

animal to human…

been there… done that

but, human to…

where we’re going next?

Just as big!!!

As the midpoint of the year approaches I can’t help but look back in amazement that I have, indeed, posted an entry every single day just as I said I would.  Surprisingly, it hasn’t been that hard.  As many who are fighting addiction know, a lot can be achieved if it is approached ‘one day at a time’.

Somedays the morning dawns to fog

Buildings a stone’s throw away

Have disappeared and no longer exist.

Or are they still there but I just can’t see them?

Like the connection between all things.

Might they, too, continue to exist

Even though my eyes cannot see what is really there.

Another beautiful day in paradise.  Yoga in the morning.  Stop off at Trader Joe’s.  Haight Street market for stone fruit.  Shower.  Nap.  Nothing that I have to do… except fill in this blog… and that’s only because I told myself I have to do it.  Oh, life is grand.

#34

If I go inside and stay inside…

I go into the light.

The light is the source.

“I AM”

If I think about anything…

I come into an “outer” world.

Some outer worlds are physical.

Some outer worlds are non-physical.

All are not “I AM”

simply adjectives.
