I think it’s time to share this understanding.  I really have been clueless in my lack of Self Recogition and Realization.  Really *clueless*.

I had NO idea that so many of us were not AWARE of what has become for me, a very basic fact of life.  And it hasn’t been till *now* that what I consider as fact, is even beginning to dawn on the Mass of us.

Whenever any one of us says, ” I am” we are invoking in the ‘name of God’, whatever quality follows that decree; it becomes manifest as our reality.   For as a Child of God, a Being of Freewill,  our decrees are the same as God decreeing.  It is impossible for Creator to Create anything unlike Itself.

It is the responsibility of each one of us to invoke into our reality, for the Law of our Being requires each of us use our own energy of life.  We cannot pass this responsibility to anyone else, nor can anyone else’s life energy be of any use to us, when it comes to manifesting the nature of our own realities.

Once we comprehend and assisimilate this awareness, we can see that not only is it possible, it is natural and necessary to transcend all outer activities, laws and limitations.  These were all created by Humanity, in our ignorance and are expressed in our outer activites because we have allowed our Intellect to operate without the Light of our Source illuminating it.

Conclusions drawn from partial information, rather then complete information, quite naturally produce unsatisfactory and unfulfilling results.  Garbage in, garbage out.  It’s known as the “Law of Correspondences”.  If we choose to create with only one spoke rather then a whole wheel, then we are at Liberty to do so.  It is our Right and Privilege to create that experience of limitation for ourselves.

Divine Love embodies every aspect and quality of Source/God.  And as we embark upon a Path of Self Mastery, it becomes clear that everything to be accomplished, can ONLY be accomplished through the Power of Unconditional Love, drawn from the I AM Presence within us.  When consciously expressed, we become invulnerable and invincible to negativity.

Therefore, if we would begin to love ourselves as an expression of Divinity, then nothing untoward could enter our beingness or our reality.

I Am That I Am

Namaste’

~grinning~

I wrote that title this afternoon, along with another, but first things first. I wrote it while I was waiting for a monthly broadcast of a “Shoud” performed by and for a group called “Shaumbra“. We each gravitate to messages meant for us, in tune with us. This one happens to be the one I enjoy.

Between the duh..duh….duhduh.duh.duh.. of the buffering, I heard most of the message.

I began to chuckle at the mention of dragons, echoing something that I had been pondering earlier. And I was literally rolling on the floor in laughter, after hearing the message that Obama was the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln.

I mean I was rolling…Truly, Real-ly, Genuinely and Authentically.

GRIN.

I AM A Dragon. (as if you hadn’t noticed *blushing*)

And my name is Puff. It’s my last name.

I come from the Puff family. My full name is Huff N Puff.

I come to blow some houses down.

In terms of consciousness I’m going to exhale. For the purpose of throwing us off balance.

This awful feeling, teeter- tottering, see saw act, where the only “balance” we ever see, is as we run from one extreme to another. Politics. The Economy. The Stock Market. Back and Forth, Back and Forth. The only balance we ever see is in passing. It’s making me see-sick.

Left wing, right wing, a bird with only one wing always flies in circles.

That’s why I have come to knock us off balance. Putting my capacity of Breathe to use, in One very definite direction.

Now…as for Abraham Lincoln, I’m not surprised he got shot. I probably would have liked to have done it myself.

I don’t know what Treason was worse in consequence, the Executive Powers Act, which transferred the decision making authority from Congress, the People’s Voice, to the Executive Branch during times of war.

*naughty naughty*

Or the Act that wiped out the one about the President being the winner of the electoral vote, and the Vice President being the runner up. Not BOTH from the same political party. Thus insuring a majority of the People would be represented when it came to enacting CONGRESSIONAL decisions.

Both such Acts fall under the definition of Treason as defined by the US Constitution. It’s in the Supremacy Clause. Which states that The Constitution be accepted as the Supreme Law of the Land. Liberties can be extended, to be more inclusive, by Amendment, through the Legislative powers delegated to Congress. But there is not at ANYTIME, delegated the power to ANYONE, to negate ANY part of the Constitution Itself. To do so, is called Treason.

BOTH of the above Acts nullified the Beauty of the Checks and Balances System, of the document, and the very Idea of this Nation.

Now back to Lincoln…

The Civil War was never about the issue of Slavery. It was about State’s Rights, about the Representation on a Collective level, the State, reflective of the values, beliefs and cultures of the people living there. After the first battle of the War, the “North” found out it wasn’t going to be any walk in the park. To manipulate the people into support for ‘the war’ effort, an already emotionally charged issue was used. That of slavery.

Slavery was already on its way out. With the industrial revolution taking off and the invention of the cotton gin, manual labor wasn’t profitable in terms of costs and production. Just like all the horse and buggy businesses wore doomed the moment cars began running off assembly lines.

The war was also about profits from resources recently opened up in the West. There were big profits to be had, by a few individuals, and key to the scheme, was to get the People to pay for the cost of the war, itself.

Values were split according to the Mason Dixon line in terms of What was of Value and to Whom. But either side really had the heart for a REAL war, until the issue of ’slavery’ was used, to whip the People into an emotional frenzy of waging a “righteous” WAR.

The tail waging the dog…

*bark bark*

(Wait a minute, I know I have a flea collar around here some place.)

That’s right, its the Constitution Itself. Delegating Sovereignty to each and every single one Of The People.

NOT to the State, or Federal, or Local branches of government.

So I suggest We ALL, “We The People” start picking the Constitution up and waving it like a flag signaling our government.

SOS.

Breathe…

You see, if Lincoln had never emotionally manipulated the strictly Northern excuse for a Congress into passing the Executive Powers Act itself, then Bush wouldn’t have had a leg to stand when it came to repeating the same exercise.

Isn’t Justice Divinely Humorous? The very idea that Obama, in another life made the mess and now he’s asking to clean it up, is funny. And he’s part *black* & part *white*, too. Facing issues of resources and who gets to profits from them. I bet he gets the job.

Isn’t “karma” interesting?

And then there’s the issue of Union. What’s been masquerading as one ever since the end of the war, doesn’t even come close to what the concept of a Union is fundamentally all about.

We’ve been living versions of a “union” caveman style. Caveman takes his club and hits cave woman over the head, then drags her back to his cave and says, “We’re married. From now on we act as one.” Anyone trying that act with me, personally, would most likely be flattened on the spot. Like a balloon, robbed of all its hot air. You can just ask any of my ex-boyfriends. For I am the Dragon Huff N’ Puff. I can Huff AND PUff.

The very idea of a “Union” in the first place rests on the concept of WILLINGNESS. Once WILLINGNESS is negated, no “Union” is possible. It is the fundamental Principle underlying the basis of all contradictions: conflict.

A “Union” can ONLY be created when and where there is WILLINGNESS on all parts. NO conflict of Wills or interest. All are Served or None. “One for ALL and ALL for One”. This Willingness can not be had, or manipulated, or forced in ANY way, for then it would not be FREELY given. It would be coerced. Extorted. Therefore, an Illusion, since it would have no foundation or Substance, of Reality. It would be a lie, an Appearance only. And maintaining these appearances takes energy, doesn’t it? LOTS of energy.

According to OUR Constitution, We are a government OF the People, BY the People and FOR the People. There is NO way we can divorce or separate ourselves from our government. They are accurate reflections of Us. If we don’t consider the ethics of our values, and the means of force we use in the pursuit of them, how could we expect a group of us to miraculously manifest those Virtues?

What our government has done has been in Our Name. If We, as a People, didn’t support conflict, and it wasn’t in Our Nature, then Our government would not behave that way, either.

Isn’t the ‘”karma” of Nations interesting? In pursuit of the goal of Domination, we lost it.

We went out of Our EVER LOVING MINDS.

Now it’s time to Resolve our mess. Starting where it all begins, for *shit* only runs downhill. Running around at the bottom of the hill cleaning it up isn’t cost or labor effective. There’s no Economy of motion in it. We’ve got to stop it where it starts.

In our religious beliefs.

It is by and through our religious beliefs that we define our Philosophy of Life. Our choices define what we deem of Value and the means we choose in pursuit of those Values. Freedom of Religion is a Constitutionally dictated Liberty.

L I B E R T Y

Which is the Freedom of choice while being RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for all the costs and consequences of those choices.

What’s been going on is called “License”, not Liberty. For there is no Accountability nor Responsibility being claimed for the costs and consequences of believing in ideas that are not only un-LOVING and exclusive, but make no sense. Thus having disastrous and destructive psychological costs and consequences. Especially in the areas of social skills and emotional coping skills. With bucket fulls of self worth and self esteem issues.

What kind of idiotic Value system is it that would choose to value a lack of it? To Value means to Love. Exactly how much Love is in ANY Conditional Value system? Only as much as the conditions allow. The basis for Self Denial are Legion.

And are at the foundation of our Economy. Where the Worth and the Value of the breathe and sweat of our lives has slowly been eroding away to nothing in terms of trade units: our currency. We work more and enjoy less. A Value system that Values a lack of it. Where is the cents in that? *Gotcha* There is none. How much less then zero can we be worth? The answer is our National Debt.

Aren’t the workings of the Quantum Field Interesting? We really do reap as we sow.

It’s time for a new idea of God. One that isn’t modeled after a caveman or a fossilized fool. As Neale Donald Walsch would say, “Because the God in whom you believe isn’t real. The God in whom you believe is made up. It is a God you created out of thin air, having nothing to do with Ultimate Reality.”

What’s important about the Idea OF God, is that it represents our chosen Ideal. And whatever Ideal we choose to strive for, we eventually become. So let’s choose a different Ideal.

One of Principle. One of Peaceful Responses. One that is not limited when it comes to Understanding, Accepting, Tolerant, Merciful, Compassionate and Forgiving. One of Genuine Substance of character, rather then one displaying all the mental and emotional problems of one lacking it in. One that is Lovable. One that is Adorable. Thereby easy to Love and Adore and Emulate. One that considers each and every single one of our lives as Precious and of great Worth, no matter how we choose to spend them.

I don’t know about you but I’ve outgrown the worship of a lessor God.

It was over two years ago now that I think about it.  “What the Bleep” was being presented on campus at my son’s university.   He had already seen the movie and, was going in hopes of meeting others on campus interested in the same thing.  

I had special ordered a copy of the movie as soon as it came out.  Well was my son familiar with the subject.  I’d raised him from a child with an understanding of it.  Members of the film crew were there, on campus, for the special presentation.  Little did they know when they met my son, that he possessed a more in depth understanding of the subject then they did. 

That Christmas I was presented with an autographed copy of the book “What the Bleep” that had recently been published.   My son had purchased it for me when he went to see the movie.  That holiday season I would read a chapter out loud every night, as my husband enjoyed listening to me read. The book went more in depth into each subject, which both of us enjoyed.  Later, this increased depth would be made into another edition of the movie, called “Down the Rabbit Hole”, which I also ordered for myself in advance. 

I had a mixed response to the understanding shared. I was elated that something about the subject was finally coming out in the media.  Finally.  It was about blankety blank blank time from my perspective.  So I was happy.  What I had been waiting for, for so long, was happening.  Consciousness was now in movement. 

On the flip side, I was irritated because what was shared was so shallow in understanding.   Yes, I said shallow but I mean no disrespect.  I’m encouraged that more of us are becoming interested in swimming these waters.  I just don’t usually play around in the shallow end.  I don’t like all the waves and the splashing.  I prefer swimming the deeper waters.    

I knew rampant confusion was going to ensue, as our false egos took off trying to use the information to further enable our emotional insecurities.  That was the direction both the movie and the book presented.  A lot of mental and analytical interpretation, studied in a scientific way. 

I don’t mean to imply anything ‘wrong’ with this approach, except for the fact that I already know no understanding could ever come from it.  Been there, done that already.  I didn’t start out with a mystical bent.  I started out as an engineer, studying magnetic fields.   I can recognize dead ends because I found the same ones myself.  Already. What seems like long ago. 

I knew of J.Z. Knight since the days when she wore a pyramid shaped hat on her head made of aluminum foil.  I had read her ‘channels’ of Ramtha in 1988.  I enjoyed J.Z.  I appreciated her allowing her eccentricity to show.  It was something I was afraid of doing, so she had my admiration, too.  She was out in the world expressing her Self while I was sitting behind the scenes, carving my sculptures, imagining how clever I was to come up with a means of expression where “I” wouldn’t be required to show myself.  Where ‘others’ would look at my work and, not me.

“Make Known the Unknown.”   

There is an underlying foundation in the thinking patterns of the “What the Bleep” movie and book, the “Down the Rabbit Hole” movie, too, as well as another movie, “The Secret”.  It’s also in the perspective of J.Z. Knight and many wonderful other people like her, that is invalid when it comes to the understanding of Spirit or God or the Quantum Field.  When it comes to understanding fields of Consciousness. 

And that is, we cannot in any way perceive to separate ourselves from it and, at the same time come to any kind of in depth understanding of Unity.   You can’t get there from here, basically. 

We can’t start from polarity and reason our way up to unity.  We can only start from unity and reason our way down, invalidating all our contradictory ideas as we go.   

We can’t come to know it, from a scientific approach of repetitive results, either.  It doesn’t work that way.  Consciousness is not solid, it is fluid and every changing, molding itself into any form we imagine.  We can only come to know it, from the perspective of adventuring into it.  An adventurer, a pioneer, isn’t looking for what’s repetitive.  That would nullify the very nature of the adventuring. 

We can’t ‘boldly go where no man has gone before’ down a paved road. 

My understanding has come as a result of saving my own life.  Polarity and duality was killing me.  I had been born with both hemispheres of my brain equally active and dominant.   I wasn’t only a type A, I was a type B, as well.  Not “or” but “and”. 

Duality patterns set me at war with myself.  That meant I was in a lose/lose situation no matter what side of myself I chose. 

There weren’t enough of us born this way, the Research Institute told my parents, to know what to do with us or to help us.  Most of us didn’t live very long, waging a constant battle within ourselves.  I was going to have to come up with my own solution, if any of my internal conflicts were going to be resolved.  With that as my goal, I set off upon my path, I leaped down the rabbit hole,filled with a determination, that would require both half’s of my brain, learning how to exist in unison and cooperation.   I was going to have to fuse the polarities. 

I developed a nose like a bloodhound for sniffing out contradictions and concepts of separation.  As soon as I found one, I threw it out of my reality.  I didn’t sweep my dust under the carpet.  I hunted for it and got it out of my house. 

I noticed ‘others’ calling themselves ‘channels’.  Many I counted as friends.  As much as I would have liked being a ‘channel’ just like them, I knew it wasn’t for me.  They all went into some sort of altered state, and then another ‘being’ would start expressing themselves through them.  Their conscious level was always separated from the experience of accessing the other levels and, I didn’t have the same respite.  I couldn’t ever turn the awareness off. 

I had always experienced it directly connected to my central nervous system.   When everything feels like you, it’s hard to separate yourself from the experience.  A conscious channel, that’s it, that’s me.  With the way I was born, everything has to be integrated.  There can be no conflicts or separations between conscious, subconscious and super conscious, between Spirit, Mind and Body.  Otherwise, I feel sick, I’d feel ill at ease.  It is a very debilitating experience, with feelings of worthlessness following closely on its heels. 

I’m writing now to speak up. 

“Sue Ann!  Make known the unknown!” it says in the signed copy of the book I have, written there by Betsy Chasse.  I chuckle, for little did Betsy realize on a conscious level who would receive that message.  I bet she wrote the same one in all the books she signed. 

So OK.  “Make known the unknown.” …  

Most of what I’ve seen and read so far has been written and expressed by those of us who don’t consciously understand very much of what they’re talking about.  There, I said it.  I made known the unknown.  Now I only hope I haven’t made a bunch of people unhappy with me and how my sentiment may cast certain lights upon them. 

That’s the way Illumination always is, it always brings out all our shadows.  I’ve simply decided to count on our hearts being true.  Our desires to know and understand, being genuine.  

The importance of asking great questions is stressed, given an example in the question, “is the number 5 married?”

Yes, the number five is married.  It is married to the shape tetrahedron.  That wasn’t exactly a great question. 

Now the question Betsy asks herself on page 8 of the book is a great question.  She writes, “I want to know if I’m truly capable of feeling unconditional love.  This is not just an abstract for me.  Unconditional Love is on my agenda – it’s how I want to be, at least for my husband and my daughter – but if I’m honest with myself, I’m not sure I’ve ever felt it.”

Now THAT’S a great question. 

And the answer is, YES, we are ALL capable and, NO, most of us have never felt it. 

Most of us don’t even have a clue to understanding it.  I know I didn’t when I first started out.  Unconditional Love is Unconditional.  It CAN’T be related to ANY conditions or it isn’t Unconditional.  Like if I feel unconditional love, it isn’t going to be reserved for just a few, on the condition that a person means anything to me.  There’s going to be nothing exclusive to it or about it at all. 

“Make known the unknown.” 

Another thing is the use of an example of us wanting something.  Like a guy wanting to have a new car.   So the guidance is offered for him to use his imagination to imagine being IN that new car, feeling all the experiences of having it and driving it. 

Well…, that’s good advise as far as it goes.  “Having” is bound to produce different results then “wanting”.  But nothing has been mentioned or said or addressed, about the guy’s emotional issues of worth and esteem that he yearns for the new car to make up for: a material placebo for worth he doesn’t feel.  He can imagine all he desires and so long as he is desiring it, from a perspective of self depletion, self depreciation and, self doubt about his worth, all his creations are going to be mirrors of these lacks.  

Maybe if this had been addressed, there wouldn’t have been and wouldn’t be right now, all the confusion and conflict surrounding the concept of the Law of Attraction or the Law of Circles?    It’s simple. “What goes around comes around.”  However we qualify the electronic substance of life, is how it comes back to us.  “Cast your loaves upon the waters and you’ll get one hundred loaves back.”

Now what other great questions would any one of us like answered? 

I am at your service. 

Only upon learning how to unconditionally love my own Humanity, have I become qualified to call myself a Humanitarian.   

That standard is what has been set in place by those of us who know how to do it, as the foundation of our ‘new paradigm’. 

It’s the engineer in me that calls, “ALL Aboard!”

Redemption

It took 650 hours to create.   

How did I do it? 

Very carefully. 

A slab of crystal isn’t very forgiving when it comes to mistakes. 

The detailed carving has to be done under water.  The slab would shatter and explode in my face if it wasn’t.  I stood at my kitchen sink wearing flipflops with the piece balanced on the edges of the sink as water dripped from the faucet. 

The thing about pouring water on crystal, is that it made everything invisible when I did it.  So all the carving was done by touch.  That meant I couldn’t wear any gloves.  As I carved, splinters and shards of crystal flew off, embedding themselves in my hands and arms.   

From start to finish all I can describe about it is to say that my attention was held.  Psychologists would most likely label it ‘compulsive obsessive’.  What it was, was a state of total surrender.  My concentration was ‘held’ in stillness,  a mantra playing over and over inside my heart and mind. 

From the point of Love
Within the heart of God
Let Love descend
To fill the hearts of Man. 

Through 650 hours of meticulous tedium.  Something I happen to excel at. 

When I do something, I give it all my heart.  I pour all of myself into it.  And have to be reminded most of the time to remember ‘me’.  Remember Love is like yeast.  I can’t give all I have.  I have to hold some back for me in order to grow a new batch.  

Inspiration for the piece came from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.  In the allegory prisoners are chained to look always on the wall of a cave.  Behind them, burn great fires.  Between the fires and the prisoners there are others, who walk back and forth across the cave, carrying different things.  As they do, shadows are cast on the walls of the cave, for the prisoners to see. To the prisoners, the shadows on the wall are their reality.  Awards are given to those prisoners best able to predict certain happenings based on associating the different patterns of shadows on the wall. 

One day one of the prisoners gets free.  He sees the fires and those moving in front of them.  He sees the shadows on the wall as they are…just shadows.  He also sees the entrance to the cave and walks out of it. 

There, for the very first time in his life, he sees the sun.   He’s sees real Light. It blinds him at first.  Makes his eyes tear up, for before, all he had known was of shadows and darkness. 

Then he remembers his companions, still chained in darkness and shadows.   And decides he must go back.  To carry the truth back to them so that they, too, can be free and see the Light. But when he goes back, it takes a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness after seeing the Light.  His fellows and companions think him mad and blinded by what he did.  He couldn’t even see anything.  Why would any of them want that?   So they don’t believe him and fight to remain in their chains.

…the allegory of the cave… 

A story about realities based on shadows.  A story of realities based on illusions of things and, not real. 

Do you see my cave? 

Do you see on the horizon the solar eclipse? The sun and moon inseparable? 

In esoteric symbolism the Sun represents Being and the Moon represents Becoming. And I carved no distance, no separation, between them. 

Do you see what Lights up my cave? 

Do you see the Cross? 

The Cross symbolizes Always. 

The horizontal line represents duality, from one polarity to the other, embracing both and all in between.  The vertical line represents all spheres and dimensions.  All aboves and all bellows. 

Always Embraces All Ways. 

This piece is an expression of the Light of redemption I found. 

Within the cave of my own heart.

I made it one Christmas.  As a Gift, A Present. 

I could share with others.

As musicians who play emotions, we don’t have to always play the blues.
