The word came in today.  I got a job… me…  David Silverman… retired, married, overweight, pot smoking, writer.  I’ve been asked… get this… to publish my own autobiography. How cool is that! I was in the kitchen frying bacon when it came to me.  And while the size of the project initially scared me, I realized I can do it like ag said he did with his PhD.  Take what you’ve already done… put it in proper order… and simply connect what you’ve got. He said it took him only three months to write his dissertation, which I suppose is pretty good for a dissertation, especially his kind of stuff.  Me… I’ve got fifty plus years of writings just itching to fit together.  Should be a snap.

So I figure I could use these posts as entries.  Like the one above.  How’s that for a first paragraph for the novel?  Did it grab you?   Make you want to read the next one?

Here’s the next couple.

Before we start… which is stupid to say since we’ve obviously begun… I need to bring you onboard as quickly as possible and introduce you to a couple of very important players.  First, and always first is Shelley.   We’ve been married for almost 53 years and I proposed to her on the second date.  Monika, one of our yoga teachers, actually called us “the love birds” in class. She didn’t see us last night, however, arguing over how much baseball I’m ‘allowed’ to watch. We’ve never considered divorce.  It’s always been murder or nothing.

Then there’s ag.  He’s part of this blog.  We’ve never met even though we’ve been intimately involved in our writings for the past number of years.  Here’s what I wrote about him back in 2009.

And then I’lll put in a link to an introduction to ag.

Finally, of course, there’s The Elder.

And I’ll introduce ‘se’.  But that’s tomorrow as far as you’re concerned..

It’s 2am in the morning.  I can’t sleep.  This is the earliest I have yet to enter a daily post.  Perhaps I am up because I spent the day doing the writing and editing I blogged about yesterday and my mind is still so active.  Here’s how it starts:

Welcome through the doorway into New Consciousness… the newly evolving way of understanding yourself and what it means when you say… I.

New Consciousness is really quite simple. We all feel “I AM” at our very core. It is how we refer to ourselves and is our deepest innermost reality. Whatever adjectives we use to define our uniqueness, when we say “I am…” that’s who I really am. And it feels the same for each of us… every single seemingly separate one of us. “I AM” is who “I AM”.

New Consciousness is not simply a subject for arms-length discussion… something to learn about from a distance. It is a way to know and experience oneself… more verb than noun. It is a way to be that puts a new dimension on what it means to be human. And not surprisingly, it is compatible with both science and religion.

I’ve got to try to get some sleep.

Okay.  I’ve been avoiding this for a while.  It’s time to get it done.

Several posts ago I commented that I was going to use the Rovingi.net link as the Rabbit Hole to being people into the New Consciousness, at which point there would be a single page for them to read that would lead to the Textbook and the other writings.  At the moment, there are three different essays on my desktop that I’ve written that start “Welcome to New Consciousness”.  Then all three go off in different directions any one of which would work.  I’ve got to choose which to use.  The problem is that as I read them one at a time, they each work. So which one is better than the others. Does it matter? Will it make a difference? We’ll never know.  We will know, however, if I don’t do anything.

It’s a beautiful relaxing day.  I have done nothing since getting up but eat, read the Sunday paper, and watch baseball on TV. May all people experience such peaceful, calm, enjoyable days.  Amen!

It’s my father’s birthday today.  He would have been 107 had he hung around.  He taught me about anger… how to be angry… how to explode at a moment’s notice… how to ratchet things up to a ridiculously high level really fast.  And I learned his teachings and at least for the first part of my life was very good at making anger a major part of who I was.  My wife would say I’m still good at it, but I know that I’m not.  I know what it feels like to let go and have nothing else as important as venting the rage within.  And I know what it feels like to put on  the reins, and even if a little bit of anger escapes, to keep the demon in check.  I have definitely made progress.  However, it may take another lifetime or two to get rid of it completely.  Happy birthday, dad.

Why is it so hard to settle on one way to go?  One direction to get this out there.  I go over and over the first sentences and see it from twenty different perspectives.  Isn’t one of them better than the others?  Shouldn’t I be able to figure out which one it is?  I mean… this is what I’m supposed to be doing… isn’t it?

Perhaps, the problem is that I am stuck at a particular point in the process and keep trying to find a way to do the next thing.  i.e. get this material out there.  I know that if people were responding and writing comments and letters I would easily respond and move on… always busy… always moving the process forward.  Now, I just feel like I’m writing the same things over and over and over.  From different perspectives… yes… but to put them together… or choose one… or make things happen. Those things seem to be out of range at the moment.

Hospice day.  No time to write up anything.  I’ll make a bigger post tomorrow.

So here’s what I’ve got so far.

Welcome to New Consciousness… an evolutionary way of understanding who we are and our relation to the Universe that is destined to change the nature of life on Earth.

New Consciousness has actually been around for quite a while. In fact, it is already hard-wired into our brains. All we have to do is flip the ON switch. Over the centuries, some special people have been born already knowing New Consciousness. Others have had it come to them in a lightning like, life changing flash.  The Roving’I’ is a newly developed system that makes New Consciousness available to everyone.

So here’s what’s going to happen.

We have this website… rovingi.net… that’s got this short and grabbing intro to New Consciousness. The site is completed and ready to go except for some small tweeking to make it as easy to use as possible.   That is going to become the Rabbit Hole.   As you will see when you get there it leads you onto a next level where I have a lead in article ready to pull readers in even further…  though not the writing that’s there now.  We’ll set it up with many paths so they can follow their own road via whatever direction is right for them.  The goal, of course, is to have every person, every I who reads it experience the common “I” within… and by so doing, to lead humanity into the next level of Evolution.  That would be nice.

So please excuse me, but I’m off to create the landing space at the bottom of the Rabbit Hole.

Good talk with Tom, last night.  We are aligned in what we’re going to do on both sides of the line to get this material out there.  Will it be the final word?  Of course not.  Things are always evolving. However, it is the final word… for now.
