Mood: rejuvenated
Ok people, I have relived a moment from my childhood in the seventies, glimpsed the Godhead (Heaven, Nirvana, the Spirit World, whatever you wanna call it) and now I have been shown The Future ooga booga boo....
I saw streets lined with row upon row of Policemen in Riot gear. I intuited the breakdown of society, law and order. If this was just a possible future I would be more relieved. However I feel that although I don’t want to become too pessimistic, what I saw seems totally plausible, if the economy takes a nose dive again, or we reach ‘Peak Oil’ (when demand outstrips supply and the price rockets uncontrollably) we are all going to be in the shit big time. Look at the behaviour that goes on when there is a temporary fuel shortage…
It wouldn’t take much for the thin veneer that is left of human decency to be eroded permanently and when or if that happens you will need to be able to provide you and yours with the following:-
Shelter
Water
Food
Those are the basics for survival. If society fell and let’s face it every previous civilisation has done, through scarcity or because they were victims of their own success like we are, everyone else will be in the same boat but they won’t be forewarned and therefore forearmed. Setup a system of rainwater collection in case the mains water supply fails, stock up on canned food and other non perishables and ensure that your house is secure and as unfriendly a target for intruders.
Our system is based on people producing things for others to consume, most of our jobs have more to do with the continuation of the status quo than they do with sustainable living or actually making the changes and taking the steps necessary to provide us with a viable future. The governments know what we can expect, every graph, think tank tells them as much but they are stuck in a catch 22…
Do they do nothing and clear up the mess afterwards (Hurricane Katrina, Haiti, need I say more?) - Or hold their hands up and say “Look you’ve all got to live within your means but we know that doing that will cause the collapse of Capitalism and the end of the World as we know it”.
People who have power are extremely reluctant to give it up, more and more examples are there for all to see that it is the people who have the real power, we’ve abdicated it to the politicians for so long that it’s still quite a vague idea, but becoming less so. When we are dissatisfied enough we act, when things fall apart it will be a case of act or die.
Survival of the fittest and Natural Selection may not have gone the way of the Dinosaurs, when it comes to us just yet.
Would it hurt to be ready for the worst?
All I’m saying is, if you are acting like the lazy grasshopper don’t assume that someone will come to your rescue, or that you will be welcome at anyone else’s Ants Nest when Winter comes, except maybe mine…
Like I say, I saw a possible future, maybe technology will come to our aid, perhaps things will work out for the best on their own. Maybe not… Some of the things I saw were truly terrifying, genetic modification for those able to afford it, I was offered a choice that felt like selling my soul to the god of technology. It was tempting to become the Bionic Man but I refused, for the present anyway.

Medicine Man
Modern Medicine can cure a whole host of diseases and conditions, often just by taking a course of antibiotics or other manufactured drugs. To aboriginal hunter gatherer societies the things that our Doctors and Scientists can do today appear to be miraculous. The problem being that that undermines their traditions which have worked for centuries but not been able to save those patients whose condition does not fall under the remit of the Medicine Man (in that he has uncannily seen that they will not survive whatever he tries and thus decided not to treat them). The Shaman is able to see the past and the future like you or I experience today. As Terence McKenna said:-
“If you think about shamanism for a moment, what do shamans do classically? They know where the game has gone, they are great weather prophets, they are very insightful in the matter of various small domestic hassles, like who stole the chicken, who slept with the chief’s wife, this kind of thing, and they cure. They cure. Well, if you analyze these abilities, it’s clear to me they all indicate, that they come from a common source, and the common source that they come from is higher dimensional perception in a mathematical sense, not a metaphorical sense, in the sense of 4D perception. If you could see in hyperspace, you could see where the game will be next week, you could see the weather a month from now, you would know who stole the chicken. And any good doctor will tell you that if you’re building a reputation as physician, you must hone the intuitional ability to choose patients who won’t die. It’s a call. Any doctor will tell you this.
So this is what shamans are. They are 4D people. They are sanctioned members of the society who are allowed to put on the gloves, as it were, pull on the goggles, and look beyond the idols of the tribe, look beyond the myth. In a way, as culture breaks down in multiculturalism and the rise of the internet and a generation of people raised on hallucinogenic plants and substances, we all are asked to assimilate some portion of this shamanic potential to ourselves, and it’s about not blocking what is obvious. Nothing comes unannounced, in this is the faith. Nothing comes unannounced, but idiots can miss the announcement. So it’s very important to actually listen to your own intuition rather than driving through it, and this is not mind woo-woo. It’s actually based on the observations of how life works, whether it’s counterintuitive to logical positivism and its fellow travellers or not. “
Mother Nature can be cruel and kind from our perspective but Good and Evil don’t exist in Nature. There is a propensity in Mankind for both altruism and dark deeds alike but neither premeditated action is a viable choice for animals. They hunt or are hunted whilst seeking out sustenance, nest and breed driven by their instincts and to a certain extent so do we.
Our instinctual responses are overridden daily by the desire to get ahead or snare a spouse, keep up with the Joneses or whatever crap it is that you do to take your mind off your better nature whispering to you, shouted down by selfish and disingenuous thoughts, words and deeds.
Every choice, every decision and compromise may only take milliseconds, but add them up and it ain’t a hill o’ beans just minutes in the grand scheme of things that encompass all of the good and the bad of Woman and Mankind.
Take your time, it’s all you’ve got…

Native American Prayer
Oh Great Spirit,
Whose Voice I hear in the wind.
Whose breath gives life to the World,
Hear me!
I come to you as one of your many children.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
May I walk in beauty.
Make my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things
That you have taught your children-
The lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and rock,
Make me strong, not to be superior to my brothers
But to be able to fight my greatest enemy: myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes
So that when life fades as the faded sunset
My spirit will come to you without shame.
(John Yellow Lark)

Love

Tessera The Mosaic Of The Universe
On the night of the last Full Moon I wandered from my sanctuary, over the road then up the hill opposite the house rounding the copse a hundred yards or so from the mound encasing the remains of the Roman Villa further along the ridge line, with it’s hidden Mosaic floored feasting room and corridors complete with the design of the rising sun in the perfect semi circle alcove aligned like the building to the compass points and to the place where that fiery ball rises in the East. The Moon was high and very bright with an enormous spectacular corona making the whole thing take up, up to half of the jet black night sky from horizon to the vertical. My rituals, prayers and expectations attended to, all misgivings let go and unlikely and unwanted scenarios rehearsed and gone over in the mind until boredom sets in and they can be forgotten before the journey within and without commences. I am given witness to the fractal nature of the Universe, the thistles fit together perfectly like square tessera from the Roman antiquity nearby, trees like computer generated blocky almost pixelated versions from early computer games but far more elegant and perfectly asymmetrical and amoprhic. Everything locking together like pieces in a lego world, connected, we’re all just variations of the same stuff. From rock to microbes to us.
We seem to spend endless hours and money experimenting to see how intelligent or sentient if you prefer, Dolphins, The Great Apes and all sorts of ‘lower forms of life’ are, down to Ants and other insects (that have led to the designs of the first viable autonomous robots). So can we agree then that all forms of life are intelligent to some degree, sentient to some degree?
Maybe it isn’t a question of whether they are intelligent or not, or how intelligent they are or not but that they are certainly clever enough to play their part with ease if we’d just get out of the way of recovery the planet would be fine in years not centuries. We’re Not Playing Our Part Though Are We?
Advice was offered and answers to questions with Love, Honesty and Compassion on where to improve myself next in order to be given more than a glimpse of what I can only describe as Heaven, Going Back to Godhead, The Collective Unconcious…

Love

Glimpse Of Heaven - Animo! -
Mood: animate
Glimpse Of Heaven - Animo!
I was recently on a Shamanic Journey and was lucky enough to be given a glimpse of Heaven. It was only a brief moment, like glancing through a window at someone else’s party. It wasn’t all bright white, “go towards the white light”, it was every colour of the spectrum and instinctively beautiful and perfect. I wasn’t allowed more than that or that is how it seemed, like I was being offered a taster, but not yet on the guest list, so not coming in.
So what do I have to do to get on that exclusive list?
I asked the question and perceived a specific thing that I need to change, even after everything I’ve been through, all the pain and frustration, the guilt, the fear, the loathing, the irritation. All the growth, those things and relationships that I’ve sacrificed, all of the progress that I have made is not enough, I can still be better, there’s always more… (Thanks Bishy, you said it often enough and you were right even though the context was different).
Currently considering initiating others into the tribe… One such candidate has found me
Now comes the hard bit. Am I worthy? Am I ready? Are they?
I think so, therefore I am (thanks René)

This Bleating Heart / Birth Of Your Universe
Mood: optimistic
The Birth Of Your Universe
In a void like space, akin to a singularity or if you prefer a minute big bang, one cell divides into two, then four, then eight and on and on until it becomes a heart, beating for the first time and then continuously while the rest of our extremities grow around that initial spark of life, like the birth of a new star attaining first fusion it goes on beating away right up until the moment we die. The core of our being is our heart, it contains Neurons (as do our guts). Brain cells in the Heart and Stomach give credence to all the old sayings like “The Heart wants what the Heart wants” or “Go with your gut instinct”. We really can be ruled by one or other of them, or learn to listen to them all and make up our own minds...... as our mind is made up of all of them and so much more besides.
Noone would contend that Ants, Bees and other animal colonies similar in size and organisation to our own do not manage feats far beyond the sum of their parts. So why shouldn’t that be true of every species including us? There is a feeling, an instinct, spreading from one person to another like a virus, expressed in countless works of fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, mainstream dramas and true stories from real peoples lives. We are connected to one another beyond the limits of space and time and mobile phones, there are no limits to what we can achieve when we all come to this realisation. If you ever had the feeling that someone was behind you, watching you and when you turned to look, true enough someone was there looking right at you. A friend pops into your head, which is an interesting turn of phrase, so you phone them and they were thinking of you too because they really needed to talk to someone.
Your half way there because at the moment you think it’s a coincidence so you are participating at a very indistinct level near the surface, when you admit the very real possibility you can sink into that state and become more open to a whole new world, a new reality.
What is the Mind if not merely the Brain?
We are not our bodies, we are the divine spark at the heart of everything that we consider to be us, the memories, the emotions, creativity and imagination. Where do all these reside within the body? Our Soul, spirit, conciousness whatever you feel more comfortable calling it, is expressed through our bodies but they are just the vessel we travel through space and time in, like any other animal on this journey that we call a lifetime on this planet. They don’t define who we are unless we let them, learn to expect more, learn to see yourself where you want to be and really believe it, hold that thought, imagine how you would feel, confirm your request to yourself, to the universe and never give up on that dream.
I’ve found that the best dreams, the ones that have come true for me more often than not and sooner than expected are those that involve as many other peoples happiness as possible and my own is always merely a natural biproduct symbiotically or as I like to call it, fate.
Look out for the Red Barn and it might make you realise that you are in fact still dreaming whilst also now concious at the same time. Lucid dreaming. The possibilities are endless…
Have you ever tried to turn on and off the lights in a dream? It doesn’t work!
Once you realise that, you’re nearly there…
Learn to fly in your dreams and watch miracles occur daily whilst truly awake for the first time in your life…

P.S. I’ve never managed it yet properly much but it’s awesome, I’ve been known to be firmly stuck hovering close to the ground like David Blane unable to do much more than that sometimes but occasionally crouching tiger level roof hopping shenanigans and The Matrix style SkyScraper leaps. Don’t believe me? Look it up, Lucid Dreaming, we’ve all got a brain and more importantly a mind. So why not use it for something that makes your sleeping time less of a sci-fi style stasis pod 7-8 hour trip to the other side of the planet today to tomorrow’s world where you wake up wondering what went on, recollecting snippets then it’s gone, maybe a hint later OR turn that otherwise slightly wasted third of our lives into an ultra realistic Sci-Fi Movie or Charming and Witty Romantic Comedy, Lavish Costume Drama, Action Packed 3d BLOCKBUSTER! (like to be an Navi from Avatar anyone?). You will remember them like memories because they are, that’s the great secret no-one told you. Dreams may be ephemeral and gone like a spring mist with the first rays of sunshine but they don’t have to be because they really are experiences not fantasies, roll playing solutions to your current problems, showing you, teaching you. If you are aren’t using the most Immersive Virtual Reality Simulator there is in existence that is your mind then what a waste and a shame.
I will remember my dreams, I will remember my dreams, I will remember my Dreams…
Say it over and over in your mind when you feel sleepy and then write them down in a diary by your bed as soon as you wake, add any other things that come back to you.
Take naps when you feel like it, they’re good for you and don’t spoil your nights sleep, you always get what you need in total and you will often be able to dream quite easily once you’ve found your own perfect length of nap time that leaves you feeling energised not groggy.
Your body is stopped from acting out all of your dreams. As it is, your body is not necessary… For them or for what lies beyond

1. Above nature; that which is beyond or added to nature, often so considered because it is given by God or some force beyond that which humans are born with. In Roman Catholic theology, sanctifying grace is considered to be a supernatural addition to human nature.
2. Something that is not of the usual. Something that is somehow not natural, or has been altered by forces that are not understood fully if at all.
3. Something that is neither visible nor measurable.
Insane in the Brain
I tend to fit in almost anywhere like a social chameleon, I can tolerate virtually anyone for extended periods, I put that down to being sensitive and compassionate in nature . It’s more than that, I can get on many different ‘wavelengths’. The problem arose when it started to become clear to me, that from now on it was going to be necessary for other people to get on to mine for it to continue to be comfortable for me. By 2000/1 I was convinced that I was going insane. What I’ve realised since then is that me and many others like me aren’t mad at all. We’re the only sane ones left, it’s everyone else whose crazy, pathological even. To retune to your frequency makes everything feel heavy, grating, frankly miserable, that’s why I can’t and I don’t mean to condescend but it’s the word I need to use, I can’t lower myself to yours anymore, not for extended periods. I’ve found a way to rise above it, we all need to and it’s a personal choice as to whether you can say hand on heart that you don’t feel that there’s something weird going on?
Don’t they say that time flies when you’re having fun? But it seems to be flying all the time these days and accelerating even. I wouldn’t describe any of the last several years as particularly joyful for many and certainly not in any sense for the Planet as a whole. More and more signs in the environment like the huge numbers of recent U.F.O. sightings, crop circles becoming more and more complex and even though the Media like to trawl out the fakers when reporting them, the truth is some of them aren’t faked and less and less of those are being ‘claimed’ by their producers. The observations made in Norway of some kind of phenomenon in the night sky, the Pyramid shaped object above The Kremlin during the day and again at night. The list goes on and on. Ghosts, angels, fairies, mythical and crypto-zoological beasts, natural disasters like the huge increase in volcanic activity and earthquakes (I’d like to see them put those down to global warming). Everything that is known as the Mystical, the Paranormal or the Supernatural.
Little things that are like a foot stuck in the door of our subconcious, keeping us aware of something on some level but more than that, trying to wake us all up. I know it’s a tendency for people including me to sometimes only get their arse in gear when it’s absolutely positively necessary, when things get to a tipping point that is so bad that action is required not merely desired, the moment just before it’s too late to do anything at all. I’m not talking about the planet dying, though it is, nor the famine that coexists with feast when there’s enough food for everyone to subsist, or the fact that if we became extinct there would be no possibility of a future advanced civilisation evolving on the globe because all of the natural resources have been raped from the top 1500 feet across the face of it or that we’re having to dredge drinking water up from deep underground that won’t be replaced for thousands of years though we are.
I don’t mean to undermine or insult anyone’s beliefs but I’d say that seeing things is supposed to be a sign of madness is it not? So aren’t more and more of us pathological then? Visions of a religious nature were accepted by The Churches as long as they were agreeable with what the apparition said or the person who received it, they both stopped doing that a long time ago, the visions appearing and the agreeing. Or did they? Many people who see things or hear voices are committed. I’m not denying some of their psychopathology but aren’t we all seeing one or others of the signs above? If not seeing them then dreaming about a worldwide disaster or invasion or religious or spiritual revolution, an oncoming storm. Whatever you believe, your frame of reference will determine how you experience the final outcome, not what it will actually resemble in true reality whatever that is. Your reality is after all the one you subjectively experience day to day, the script written by you, directed by you, executive producer, cinematography etc etc. I feel sorriest for Dr Richard Dawkins, Dr Chris French and their like. Once it’s over and we’re all together again and can laugh about it, they’re going to get the piss taken out of them for eternity.
We’ve come so far or should I say almost far enough. We’re nearing full term already, the cosmos and planets waters have broken and the contractions are intensifying. Something this way comes on a collision course with each of us as individuals. Let it arrive on it’s own terms and risk reaping the whirlwind or reach forward escape velocity and greet it head on.
It might sound dramatic, but I chanted continuously during the waking hours of seven days straight and subsequently had a religious experience that not only convinced me that I have a role to play as a servant to the needs of my fellow man and woman (oy no fnarr fnarr, I’m being awfully earnest) but that there is nothing to worry about, I’m unique but nothing special, a cog in a great wheel, a cell in one giant organism. Perhaps that was a psychic Oxygen mask sent to help subdue me when the plane starts diving from 35,000 feet but I can’t deny the immediate release of all the anxiety, paranoia, fear, frustration, anger, everything that had made me feel abnormal or as though I was losing my Mind. It’s a personal experience that shows you unequivocally what certainty actually is not what you thought it was and subsequently I do not fear death, dying yes, but not death.
The Scientists won’t sort it for you, the Church, the Politicians, the Council, Army or Police. Noone is going to clear this mess up but us, noone can do anything positive unless or until each of us individually and then the rest eventually come together in community like we used to. If you don’t do it for yourself, or for someone else or for the planet, it’ll happen anyway but you won’t have any certainty of your own on your side to make the transformation more pleasant. We shall all go back to Before jealousy, before monotony, before greed, before dogma, before ideologies, before before and expanding exponentially into the future at the same instant. The end of time as a linear construct, part of the brain washing we’ve received through our cultural programming that will be unpicked like so much errant knitting and rewoven into the golden fleece.
To quote the late great Terence Mckenna “to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself, because this process that is underway will take the control freak by the short and curly and throw them against the wall.”

I’m not talking about the planet dying, though it is, nor the famine that coexists with feast when there’s enough food for everyone to subsist, or the fact that if we became extinct there would be no possibility of a future advanced civilisation evolving on the globe because all of the natural resources have been raped from the top 1500 feet across the face of it or that we’re having to dredge drinking water up from deep underground that won’t be replaced for thousands of years though we are.
I don’t mean to undermine or insult anyone’s beliefs but I’d say that seeing things is supposed to be a sign of madness is it not? So aren’t more and more of us pathological then? Visions of a religious nature were accepted by The Churches as long as they were agreeable with what the apparition said or the person who received it, they both stopped doing that a long time ago, the visions appearing and the agreeing. Or did they? Many people who see things or hear voices are committed. I’m not denying some of their psychopathology but aren’t we all seeing one or others of the signs above? If not seeing them then dreaming about a worldwide disaster or invasion or religious or spiritual revolution, an oncoming storm. Whatever you believe, your frame of reference will determine how you experience the final outcome, not what it will actually resemble in true reality whatever that is. Your reality is after all the one you subjectively experience day to day, the script written by you, directed by you, executive producer, cinematography etc etc. I feel sorriest for Dr Richard Dawkins, Dr Chris French and their like. Once it’s over and we’re all together again and can laugh about it, they’re going to get the piss taken out of them for eternity.
We’ve come so far or should I say almost far enough. We’re nearing full term already, the cosmos and planets waters have broken and the contractions are intensifying. Something this way comes on a collision course with each of us as individuals. Let it arrive on it’s own terms and risk reaping the whirlwind or reach forward escape velocity and greet it head on.
It might sound dramatic, but I chanted continuously during the waking hours of seven days straight and subsequently had a religious experience that not only convinced me that I have a role to play as a servant to the needs of my fellow man and woman (oy no fnarr fnarr, I’m being awfully earnest) but that there is nothing to worry about, I’m unique but nothing special, a cog in a great wheel, a cell in one giant organism. Perhaps that was a psychic Oxygen mask sent to help subdue me when the plane starts diving from 35,000 feet but I can’t deny the immediate release of all the anxiety, paranoia, fear, frustration, anger, everything that had made me feel abnormal or as though I was losing my Mind. It’s a personal experience that shows you unequivocally what certainty actually is not what you thought it was and subsequently I do not fear death, dying yes, but not death.
The Scientists won’t sort it for you, the Church, the Politicians, the Council, Army or Police. Noone is going to clear this mess up but us, noone can do anything positive unless or until each of us individually and then the rest eventually come together in community like we used to. If you don’t do it for yourself, or for someone else or for the planet, it’ll happen anyway but you won’t have any certainty of your own on your side to make the transformation more pleasant. We shall all go back to Before jealousy, before monotony, before greed, before dogma, before ideologies, before before and expanding exponentially into the future at the same instant. The end of time as a linear construct, part of the brain washing we’ve received through our cultural programming that will be unpicked like so much errant knitting and rewoven into the golden fleece.
To quote the late great Terence Mckenna “to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself, because this process that is underway will take the control freak by the short and curly and throw them against the wall.”

Full Body Orgasm - Penis Envy
Location: below the immersion tank
Mood: amused - Let's Play DARTS! - Snowy - possibly employed from Monday
Music: The siren song of the immersion tank refilling in the loft above my bedroom after someones had a bath
Full Body Orgasm
I recently encountered this during a spiritual experience. To say that it was unplanned but an extremely pleasant surprise, would be an understatement. I don’t usually like surprises…
Don’t be mucky either because this type of orgasm doesn’t require ejaculation and I wasn’t even nekkid or trying to achieve it. I was emerging out of an altered state brought on by sensory deprivation at the time (lying fully clothed on my bed in the dark). It was a lucky accident.
Anyone can achieve this however, and with a partner if you have one, but you’ve got to have a lot of patience and a willingness to um how should I put this? Delay your own pleasure…
http://www.ehow.com/how_2107332_have-full-body-orgasm.html
Penis Envy
I Don’t understand Freud’s concept of young females being envious of a penis or that she hasn’t got one. I can certainly see some merit in his idea of castration anxiety as the young males’ counterpart. Mention anything in that area and men instinctively grab their crotches, striking a defensive pose without thinking about it. I’m not sure every woman likes the look of them and I don’t know any men who are jealous of a woman having a vagina and definitely not periods. Breasts would be nice though, for when you’re bored…
I once measured myself as a lot of men do, especially when they’re at school and found that I was a lucky boy indeed, being slightly above average and in one respect I’m in the top 0.1%. Finally I had found something that I’m better at than other people and I can’t tell or show anyone, even if I wanted to, which I don’t, so don’t ask.
Feeling inadequate? Want a pleasant surprise? Perhaps you’re under the false impression that your very small or very big. Check out the stats, maybe you’ve got less to worry about than you thought (pun intended ;-)

"I Ain't Dissin You At All, Since You've Been Gone... Away" / je ne veux de mal à personne, juste plus d'amour pour tous - Associate With Your Shadow
“I Ain’t Dissin You At All, Since You’ve Been Gone… Away” / I don’t wish harm on any one, just more love for all
I don’t really know what I’m going to write yet, I just liked the title… That should be on my gravestone. I mostly come up with what I think is an amusing play on words and it’s usually subconsciously associated with or bloody obviously linked to whatever is going on or I’m thinking about lately. This case, well the only thing I can think to jot down is that I don’t wish anyone any harm. In fact I wish everyone well. You’re forever changed once you realise that you are a part of them and they a part of you and that goes for the ecosystem, the planet as a whole, the solar system, galaxy, universe (Um yeah, everything in so called existence basically baby!). To wish any living thing harm would be like cutting off my nose to spite my face or slashing my own wrists. As for whether I manage not to have thoughts of an angry, aggressive or even violent nature at times, I don’t entirely, depending on who or what it is that has pissed me off and how badly.
Moe tells Homer, “I’m a well-wisher, in that I don’t wish you any specific harm”. (Go on! Do your own impression of Moe saying that, mine was bollocks but sounded much better in my head, like most things ;-)

Associate With Your Shadow
I used to howl at the moon, not regularly (I don’t have George’s time of the Month issue from Being Human, as far as I knowwwwwoooooo) although I probably have once or twice because I used to like a good howl when I was younger. There was a long period during which I wasn’t in touch with nature as I had been when I was a kid. This isn’t a sob story I don’t do those, but I was quite lonely at times as a kid because I was painfully shy, like almost autistic shy, and it’s not a situation that’s gone away I just learned to cope with it by being brash and loud. I’ve toned that down as much as I can because I don’t want to be the centre of attention any more for the wrong reasons and because my ego is undergoing a much desired and controlled demolition. I can do the things that I don’t like doing and usually pretty damn well, false confidence starts to look like the real thing and can even become it when you practice often enough.
Sure it was fun to use my natural quick wit in large social groups, which is completely out of my control by the way, I assume it developed over time as a defence mechanism to keep me from having to engage in conversation, I could come out with a one liner and walk off, extricate myself from what I saw as a threat, an inconvenience, ugh communication. Anyway the comedy routine is worked out for me like the solution to a puzzle by my shadow almost instantaneously. Of course, I don’t mean the dark impression that follows us everywhere and re-integrates with us when the lights go out, I’m talking about your shadow mind, the subconscious. The part we are taught to be wary or afraid of, our animal nature, what some might refer to as our true selves but not a part that we should associate with, or try to integrate into what we call ourselves, the me, the I.
I’ve probably annoyed if not confounded many people with the way that I’ve always lived my life. I go with what I feel never what I think I know or the seemingly obvious and logical solution (sorry Spock I gotta go with my gut on this one). If I don’t have the right ‘feeling’ about a situation, party, night out, whatever, I won’t go. I’ve also turned down things based on cowardice or said yes to things based on false bravado and made all sorts of stupid mistakes, done things that I knew at the time were wrong, the wrong choice, the wrong way. One man’s coincidence is another man’s synchronicity. The number of times that things have fallen into place for me in such a sweet way are forgotten but not the instinct and insight that perhaps we are meant to be in that feeling all of the time. Our lives following a natural course. There can be no life without death and a few bumps in the road along the way between the two destinations are unavoidable, they try to knock you off course, it’s so much harder to be good than bad. Bad is so pitifully easy. When did you last hear someone say they’d succumbed to the temptation to do something good?
The subconscious mind is like a symbiotic bio-mechanical nano-technological factory. You put forward the production design specifications. If given a fair following wind, there’s a fifty fifty chance that tomorrow you will wake up in a good mood or a bad mood, what you are communicating to your shadow, the terms and status of your relationship with what is basically the rest of you that you deny, ignore or fill with everything you wish would just go away like bad thoughts, bad memories, bad emotions, what you’re putting in there decides what it spits out in despatch. Listen to moody music all the time and your buddy the shadow tells the physical brain to produce moody bastard chemicals which affect your mood and can affect your health which in turn affects your mood which affects your shadow’s current order list. It will do whatever you want it to, it’s entirely up to you what you want to put out to market. Before you fall asleep, tell it to remember your dreams and write them down as soon as you wake up, reading them back after a month is a shock, after a year a triumph or another shock. Everyone knows some clever clogs who can tell themselves what time to wake up or some such nonsense, that’s the point it isn’t nonsense it works you just have to try. They say that humans only use 10% of their brain capacity, from what I’ve seen I’d say that was being generous (I hope that makes you angry). Maybe we’re just not in touch with the other 90%?
When I’m in nature regularly I get the answers to all my questions, I’m shown the way that I need to proceed or given hope that if I hold on, if I’m willing to be patient things will resolve themselves in due course. When to Fold, when to Call, When to Raise and most importantly of all, WHEN TO HOWL AT THE MOON…

2. an insult or put-down; to put (someone) down, or show disrespect by the use of insulting language or dismissive behaviour; for dissertation

Equilibrium - The Whole Truth and nothing but OR 3 Weeks and 3 Years
Mood: amused
Jon
xXx
Light n Love
Equilibrium is sought everywhere in the Universe. Hot things cool, Cold things warm up, discrimination becomes positive discrimination and eventually into a state of balance. Feminism has gone too far and emasculated Men, eventually we too will be in balance with each other. It isn’t right for one sex to have precedence over another, one species, race or creed to think itself superior to another. One day all of these things will come into alignment like Ice melting or steam condensing to become water.
Are we still evolving? Despite the fact that Natural selection has for the most part gone out of the window, my answer is a definite YES
What into you say? Who knows…
—-
I’ve stopped short of saying what I actually believe, either because I was (and am still) not entirely sure what that is or because I didn’t want to lay all my cards on the table for everyone to see until I had a hand and had decided what to fold. I really don’t care what anyone thinks anymore so that is freeing me up to let you in on it, The Whole Truth as I see it.
I don’t say ‘I told you so’ when I’m proved right, I think it and let you off…
I know someone who is convinced that the world will end in 2012, 3 weeks and 3 years from today on or around the 21st of December 2012 (The Winter Solstice - The shortest day and funnily enough 10 days after my Fortieth Birthday). The Mayan Calendar does indeed finish then, but no-one said anything about Armageddon, just about Apocalypse (both defined below for those that assume their definition is already correct and are wrong like I was). The Bible speaks of The End of Days being a period of Famine, Natural Disasters, Disease and War, I’d say we were there now but how can you tell the difference?
I think 2012 will mark the end of Time as we know it and if that means the end of the World as we know it too, then maybe we’re both right.
The problem here is that I too had a sense of dread and a feeling of helplessness for a long time about whatever is coming, and trust me something big is on it’s way, my instincts are only ever wrong about people not things like this. If we’re all connected in the way that I believe we are, an example of which would be the way that a bird will learn a new skill like Blue tits robbing cream from Milk Bottle tops and that skill will be transferred to other Blue Tits quicker than if they were learning it from another individual and passing it on, soon they all know the trick, too soon. Or the way that several people from different countries, from different continents even will come up with the same scientific discoveries or world changing ideas at the same time, obviously I’m referring to the past before we could annoy everyone we know constantly with our mobiles and the internet.
You could say that it is a coincidence when things like that happen, or that it was an obvious next step given what has come before for more than one person to come to the same conclusion at the same time and that’s up to you, I know different…
There are a couple of possible futures and a tipping point when one or the other will become inevitable for you. What you think is coming will help decide that for you, stay positive, immerse yourself in nature, endeavour to live the right way, ignore outside influences that aggravate you or exacerbate an already tense situation in the offing.
I still don’t know if it is The Anti-Christ and the second coming of Jesus, invasion by Aliens or first contact, or a Cosmic calamity but one thing is certain, Change Is Coming and the first signs are already here if you’re looking for them and not assuming that they have anything to do with our activities on this planet. I like to think of the latter as symptoms of our sickness, our disconnection from and the damage we’ve already done to Mother Earth, the other things are signs of what’s to come, a great upheaval. The simplest way I can put this is you’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelette. The universe and our planet have been here for 13 and a bit billion and 3.5 billion years respectively, we’ve been here diddly squat in comparison.
Every other animal, creature, substance, conciousness in all forms simple and complex is still a part of every natural cycle and most importantly of all obeys every natural law that exists, except the majority of us. Become reconnected or risk getting left behind when the train leaves the station on it’s final journey to where Gandalf described:-
“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path… One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass… And then you see it.”
The Veil will be lifted, The masked magician will reveal Magic’s greatest secrets, The Wizard of Oz will appear from behind the curtain and turn out to have been us all, all along…
You can stay in your comatosed state, showing off like a Human Peacock or a BowerBird lining an avenue with gaudy baubels to try to attract a mate, feathering your nest with trinkets, self medicating like an Ostrich with it’s head in the sand to avoid thinking about things or you can WAKE UP NOW!!!
Armageddon
1. The place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil.
2. The scene of a decisive conflict on a great scale.
3. Any great and crucial conflict.
Apocalypse
From Ancient Greek ἀποκάλυψις “revelation”, from ἀπό, from, and κάλυψο, secret. Because of the subject matter of the Bible book of the same name, and it being the last book of the Bible, it has come to be associated with “ending.”
Revelation and secret being the operative words need not suggest evil which is generally due to developmental injury or a predisposition genetically and bad choices. Look at how many prison inmates have latent brain damage from violent child abuse, mental illness or suffer from drug addiction. Many suffering an upbringing that shouldn’t exist in our so called Civilised First World. We’re just as much to blame for the evil that exists in the world if we do nothing about it when it can be prevented.
Does Evil exist elsewhere in nature? Predators kill, prey succumbs. Nature is variation on a huge scale… Show me a bad dog, I’ll show you a bad owner. I admit that Chimps behave intolerably towards and even kill their own species, but they’re 98% the same genetically to us, and it’s usually only ever about territory, there’s another similarity. Aren’t we murdering people for resources and so called security, from a threat we’ve only managed to increase and losing our young men and women in the process? We left the garden of Eden a very long time ago, maybe it’s time to finally go back…
We’re no better than Tribespeople, we’ve come nowhere good from the nomads and hunter gatherers that we were, in fact if you look at how hard their lives were (and are still where they can manage to co-exist in an ever shrinking world) but paradoxically how happy and contented they’re existence. We’ve made a retrograde step in the name of progress. When we didn’t have to have pets or make special trips or take things called holidays to see some animals or countryside and feel like a part of the animal kingdom again, to resume our connection to Mother Nature.
We have to take a stand in every arena of our lives, not worry about our own safety which is rarely if ever at risk in reality despite the growing tide of fear and make a difference in the lives of others and in turn ourselves. The whole Bee situation whether we caused it by masking the flower pollen from them with pollution or not, is a case in point, Einstein said 3-4 years after they go so do we and it looks like he’s right but he couldn’t come up with a Theory of everything that links the very tiny with the very Huge.
The Planet is an organism, so are we and so are bacteria, I’d say that was a Theory of everything. Fractals exist in nature from the shape of Galaxies to the shells of the tiniest mollusc, we are connected. Reminded of that in dreams and on psychedelic journeys, when we can’t help but be what we truly are instead of what others say or we’ve come to believe.
It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together. Sorry I couldn’t help putting a quote from Star Wars in there. Maybe that date will come and go and nothing will happen, personally I’ll blame the Popes who fucked about with the Calendar, for all we know it’s 1996 or 2012 already…
If you don’t care you don’t matter anymore or you soon won’t and that’s not a threat unless it’ll get you off your arse, it’s an educated guess.
Whatever you think, we’re bound together, our fates our linked.
Are we still evolving? Despite the fact that Natural selection has for the most part gone out of the window, my answer is a definite YES

The problem here is that I too had a sense of dread and a feeling of helplessness for a long time about whatever is coming, and trust me something big is on it’s way, my instincts are only ever wrong about people not things like this. If we’re all connected in the way that I believe we are, an example of which would be the way that a bird will learn a new skill like Blue tits robbing cream from Milk Bottle tops and that skill will be transferred to other Blue Tits quicker than if they were learning it from another individual and passing it on, soon they all know the trick, too soon. Or the way that several people from different countries, from different continents even will come up with the same scientific discoveries or world changing ideas at the same time, obviously I’m referring to the past before we could annoy everyone we know constantly with our mobiles and the internet.
You could say that it is a coincidence when things like that happen, or that it was an obvious next step given what has come before for more than one person to come to the same conclusion at the same time and that’s up to you, I know different…
There are a couple of possible futures and a tipping point when one or the other will become inevitable for you. What you think is coming will help decide that for you, stay positive, immerse yourself in nature, endeavour to live the right way, ignore outside influences that aggravate you or exacerbate an already tense situation in the offing.
I still don’t know if it is The Anti-Christ and the second coming of Jesus, invasion by Aliens or first contact, or a Cosmic calamity but one thing is certain, Change Is Coming and the first signs are already here if you’re looking for them and not assuming that they have anything to do with our activities on this planet. I like to think of the latter as symptoms of our sickness, our disconnection from and the damage we’ve already done to Mother Earth, the other things are signs of what’s to come, a great upheaval. The simplest way I can put this is you’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelette. The universe and our planet have been here for 13 and a bit billion and 3.5 billion years respectively, we’ve been here diddly squat in comparison.
Every other animal, creature, substance, conciousness in all forms simple and complex is still a part of every natural cycle and most importantly of all obeys every natural law that exists, except the majority of us. Become reconnected or risk getting left behind when the train leaves the station on it’s final journey to where Gandalf described:-
“End? No, the journey doesn’t end here. Death is just another path… One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass… And then you see it.”
The Veil will be lifted, The masked magician will reveal Magic’s greatest secrets, The Wizard of Oz will appear from behind the curtain and turn out to have been us all, all along…
You can stay in your comatosed state, showing off like a Human Peacock or a BowerBird lining an avenue with gaudy baubels to try to attract a mate, feathering your nest with trinkets, self medicating like an Ostrich with it’s head in the sand to avoid thinking about things or you can WAKE UP NOW!!!
Armageddon
1. The place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil.
2. The scene of a decisive conflict on a great scale.
3. Any great and crucial conflict.
Apocalypse
From Ancient Greek ἀποκάλυψις “revelation”, from ἀπό, from, and κάλυψο, secret. Because of the subject matter of the Bible book of the same name, and it being the last book of the Bible, it has come to be associated with “ending.”
Revelation and secret being the operative words need not suggest evil which is generally due to developmental injury or a predisposition genetically and bad choices. Look at how many prison inmates have latent brain damage from violent child abuse, mental illness or suffer from drug addiction. Many suffering an upbringing that shouldn’t exist in our so called Civilised First World. We’re just as much to blame for the evil that exists in the world if we do nothing about it when it can be prevented.
Does Evil exist elsewhere in nature? Predators kill, prey succumbs. Nature is variation on a huge scale… Show me a bad dog, I’ll show you a bad owner. I admit that Chimps behave intolerably towards and even kill their own species, but they’re 98% the same genetically to us, and it’s usually only ever about territory, there’s another similarity. Aren’t we murdering people for resources and so called security, from a threat we’ve only managed to increase and losing our young men and women in the process? We left the garden of Eden a very long time ago, maybe it’s time to finally go back…
We’re no better than Tribespeople, we’ve come nowhere good from the nomads and hunter gatherers that we were, in fact if you look at how hard their lives were (and are still where they can manage to co-exist in an ever shrinking world) but paradoxically how happy and contented they’re existence. We’ve made a retrograde step in the name of progress. When we didn’t have to have pets or make special trips or take things called holidays to see some animals or countryside and feel like a part of the animal kingdom again, to resume our connection to Mother Nature.
We have to take a stand in every arena of our lives, not worry about our own safety which is rarely if ever at risk in reality despite the growing tide of fear and make a difference in the lives of others and in turn ourselves. The whole Bee situation whether we caused it by masking the flower pollen from them with pollution or not, is a case in point, Einstein said 3-4 years after they go so do we and it looks like he’s right but he couldn’t come up with a Theory of everything that links the very tiny with the very Huge.
The Planet is an organism, so are we and so are bacteria, I’d say that was a Theory of everything. Fractals exist in nature from the shape of Galaxies to the shells of the tiniest mollusc, we are connected. Reminded of that in dreams and on psychedelic journeys, when we can’t help but be what we truly are instead of what others say or we’ve come to believe.
It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us, penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together. Sorry I couldn’t help putting a quote from Star Wars in there. Maybe that date will come and go and nothing will happen, personally I’ll blame the Popes who fucked about with the Calendar, for all we know it’s 1996 or 2012 already…
If you don’t care you don’t matter anymore or you soon won’t and that’s not a threat unless it’ll get you off your arse, it’s an educated guess.
Whatever you think, we’re bound together, our fates our linked.

How would you feel if I told you that from tomorrow, and for the rest of your life, you can no longer have processed sugar in your diet? Only honey and the natural sugars in fruits and vegetables…
Or no alcohol ever again? Even a seasoned drinker like myself who is neither an alcoholic nor a merely social drinker who has also been known to abstain at times would find it very hard to go more than a few weeks without fancying a couple of drinks after work or a few more at the weekend.
Coffee, Tea, Nicotine. All stimulants that we have used for centuries, even though as seen recently in stories about people who drank too many espressos in one day and suffered convulsions, Caffeine in hot drinks doesn’t come without risks aswell as benefits. Nicotine has fallen from grace, recently fast becoming completely socially unacceptable, it’s a horrible feeling to be a smoker in a public place like shopping centers or having to huddle somewhere outside in the winter with your fellow smoking workmates.
We are addicted to them all and some to even harder drugs and that is what they are DRUGS. We’re all drug addicts, half the population is on anti depressants, stimulants, muscle relaxants, pain killers, tranquillizers and those are just the ones receiving a fix from their Doctor or Pharmacist let alone all the ones self medicating (I take dietary supplements for a self diagnosed condition what of it? ;-)
When they get someone off hard drugs it’s by replacing it with several substitutes, yoga, spirituality or religion, physical exercise, writing, painting, counselling others in the same position all designed to wean them off of one addiction on to some others. Other ways to invest your time and imagination, the ability to have dreams again, it’s all good and always involves connecting with people again or with the environment and nature. That is what was missing in the first place…
So many people live separate lives, so many single people today in their flats alone because it’s progress not to live at home with the family or because the modern world almost expects and wants you to spread your wings and travel, move for work. Thank goodness for social networking sites allowing us to reconnect with loved ones far away, the internet has been a massive force for good in that respect.
Connection to others is the reason we come together to be fans of the same subject or team, to gather to make something new like a performance or a show, to dance and sing together, to share festivals and celebrations and commiserations all of the things that we have lost in our rush to find work in the city at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Only to find that now the people who can still afford to do so are buying up all of our ancestral homes in the countryside, knocking three cottages into one so that they can come down from London at the weekends and stay for a few weeks in the summer, doesn’t matter that local kids have to move miles away to estates in towns on the outskirts of citys (but good for bored gardeners who can play while the owners are away, like in hottubs and on trampolines).
Community, Community, COMMonUNITY
We all want it back but whose is brave enough to build it and see if they will come?
The signs look good there is so much going on these days to reinvest in the countryside, in ways that bring people and nature and people back together again, it’s a great start but still not enough.
Do we have to be addicted to something is that in our nature?
Well it certainly seems so doesn’t it, count them up if you’ve got less than five I’d be surprised and you have to be honest and count anything that you don’t think you could do without for the rest of your life.
What will we be addicted to in the future that is positive?
The business model of pharmaceutical companies revolved around creating chemicals from scratch from a design that can be patented, they don’t understand much of what goes on in plants and naturally occurring sources of chemical compounds. Some have 500 different component parts and the interactions between them all is far too complex for them to be entirely understood with current technology.
There is a fad for linking your product with a natural basis or suggesting it is an extract of a certain fruit or vegetable, herb or plant which is the active ingredient. It’s hoped that our drive towards more ecologically sound sources of products and packaging will lead to more orders, even though things like shampoo still contain a cocktail of other chemicals which are still produced artificially with waste products from the processes that create them and all in the name of progress and saving time being the ultimate aim or making a better more profitable product.
The most natural thing is seasonal consumption, sharing to ensure a fair deal for everyone, coming together of people in celebration of good times and supporting each other through the hard times, working to overcome obstacles to build a future together and sharing stories of the past which inform the present.

We walked away from using plants to connect us to the whole of creation, we are after all just clever animals who now use plants and their derivatives to calm us down or liven us up never to search for what makes us the same as the plants and the other animals, not to commune with one another we do them to lose inhibitions or to break down the boundaries that our egos have built in the way of actually connecting with someone, to be able to avoid cynicism or the thick skins we’ve all had to develop to respond to the impetus provided by the world we’ve created. It’s our fault that it’s like this and it’s our job to respond and stop it from becoming a constantly self fulfilling prophesy, circular reasoning on a planetary scale…

Mood: calm amused finally job hunting for dosh to get lost
Music: My definiton by the Dream Warriors
I’ve spent the last ten years, give or take a few months, searching for answers. I’ve finally got some even though they weren’t necessarily the ones I was expecting or hoping for, nonetheless answers to all my questions have come in droves, especially over the last year since I really gave them the attention they deserved.
So what were they?
The questions were:-
Why are we here?
How do I proceed?
What is coming up?
Why are we here?
The why we are here is moot mainly because you’d need to be asking the question yourself for my definition to mean anything to you, it’s an understandable conclusion that I’ve arrived at given the experiential evidence but also subjective as all the best things in life are. The most difficult but also the single most valuable aspect is the journey not the destination, it requires littering the roadside with many long held beliefs and several paradigm shifts up through the gears until you’re finally heading towards solutions at full throttle.
How do I proceed?
I know the direction that I need to head in now and the vehicles I choose as my methods of transportation, but not the passenger list or the likely detours along the route, so it isn’t over really it’s just beginning and just as exciting as when I originally set off all those years ago. The main difference is in the amount of baggage I’ll be taking with me from now on, almost nothing, travelling progressively lighter and lighter. I’ve managed to avoid some of the pitfalls, but learned so much more from the ones I fell into, however painful they were at the time.
What is coming up?
Travels into foreign and as yet entirely unknown environs, new and inspiring landscapes unexplored by many, all the while pairing things down and down into a singularity of purpose and thought, in fact a winning argument in an ontological debating contest. Somewhere devoid of dogma or rhetoric but most especially no idle speculation only enlightened curiosity. We live in a world full of egos and boundaries which need to be dissolved one person at a time until there is a chain reaction, until critical mass is reached and there is a global transformation.
The alternative is what we have at the moment, everyone out for themselves, fear the prevailing wind emotionally and panic the undercurrent beneath the waves of the ocean of conciousness. We have become blaze, dehumanized others, given ourselves over to so called common sense, abdicated our responsibilities, set ourselves adrift separated from each other with dwindling resources and time running out to save everyone and all we can seem to do is live from hand to mouth.
The truth is that you can choose to spread the growing pains out between now and the inevitable or take it in one hit which you might not survive. Those are your only options, so choose one and let me know if you make the same decision as me. I have some well worn guidebooks of the road less travelled, some hard won or just as painfully gained hints and tips and even better a short-cut from where you are to where I am embarking from, if some of that would be of any assistance to you on your own journey. I’ve made it here alone, I’m sure it’s easier with company but it’s hard to find others to get into the same boat with you or to find the courage to ask them to and reveal its true destination. Good luck to all intrepid explorers…
