Why It Is Imperative to Awaken Immediately, IF Not Sooner... - Part III

I wanted to finish this topic today for the time being.

For me the scariest part is not the GMO. The GMO is not the "real" issue, but a symptom of it. The real issue is the residues left after crops are sprayed with the miracle weed killer. THIS is what flies under the radar. Tests with rats for 90 days is not sufficient when the plan is WORLD distribution. I have no quarrel with making money. And remember what Mark Twain once said, “the lack of money is the root of all evil.” Many quote it as "Money is the root". However, you need to approach making money with complete integrity and an open mind. Something massive like what is going on makes the world a Petri dish. What I find interesting is that there are many groups that are alerting people to this problem. I have dealt with statistics for many years. It is based on the fact that the process of life is a random event. What do I know about life? It is not random. Not in totality and not in the quantum space. That doesn't mean statistics won't work. However, the statistics themselves become a malleable quantity. Depends on how many and how long and whether the appropriate variables have been clearly identified. AND, if proper numbers and measures have been taken to identify those variables.

There was a time when I "used" statistics for the "good" of the customer. Bean counters, also known as accountants, wanted a cheaper product that "others" were using. I told them the margin in the "statistics" of our company required that we keep doing what I originally designed. That was a true statement... mostly... depending on temperature, the other product would have "satisfied" the government criteria, but ONLY at room temperature!! So, the statistics might have worked, but for me room temperature is not sufficient!! Like there are no cold places in the US? Let's apply just a bit of integrity shall we!

So, statistics... be careful... the fundamental assumption that life is a "random" event is unfounded. And, the Heisenberg theory of uncertainty guarantees that things change when something is examined!! So, what manifests is where our attention is at.... place your attention wisely... it is the direction of your life force... that's a wake-up call...

Why It Is Imperative to Awaken Immediately, IF Not Sooner... - Part II

Paying attention is critical. Actually, this nation was founded by people who were paying attention! It came home to me the other day, right in my area. It was a wake-up of major proportions. I live in a small rural community where there are many small farms. Not the big conglomerates, but small, "been in the family for a long time" farms. I get this flier from a local farm supply chain: "Glyphosate Plus Herbicide - fully licensed for use over the top of Round-Up Ready - corn, cotton and soybeans?" This is the major ingredient in Monsanto's "Round-Up" product!! And, this works with Monsanto's terminating seeds... those are seeds that commit suicide at the end of the growing season and they are insect proof... They are at the core of GMO. Genetically modified organisms.

It's a good thing I don't believe in conspiracy theories. It would seem the plan would be for a company and all its backers to take over the world food supply, because the seeds are patented. Even with the wonders of science, will this new organism provide the same nutrition as the one it "replaces". Not to mention the juicy add-ins. I'll mention here the soil depletion reported to the Senate in the 30's ... that is 1930 btw... and which little has been done about... low zinc, low boron and many other low values for trace minerals... so, this new GMO corn, wheat etc. is being layered on top of  existing agricultural issues. I have been buying my vegetables from a farmer at my local farmer's market. Last week I asked the farmer in the bib overalls, we call him "Mr. No Spray", "So, you don't spray?" He replied, "Oh, that stuff.. it comes from China!" He was referring to "Round-up" type products. So, not willing to jump the gun.. I go to the internet and type in - China Glyphosate - This farmer sure knew his stuff. I was unaware there was a China connection too! It's big industry there.

My point is:Are you careful about what you eat? Do you know where it comes from? Are you supporting farmers who are buying into the "new" source of food? If you are, and you want it different, you need to pay attention. Otherwise, your dollar vote is going to these farmers who have decided they need to survive by buying into what is being served up.

I'm not criticizing them. They are doing what they need to do, BUT with the faith of "When you build it, they will come" it will be possible to support farmers who provide quality nutrition to all interested people. Notice the increased incidence of various diseases and allergies. It has skyrocketed over the last 20 years. Medical science says "better diagnostic techniques." Not buying it... it's too pandemic for it to be just better diagnostics. Remember the computer adage... garbage in garbage out... "food" is supposed to contain all the molecules you need to sustain your life. That statement is everything you need to know about nutrition. That's why it is imperative to support farmers who will provide real food!! You can do this by asking questions and paying attention! My wife and I chatted about this and the fact that real food is more expensive. I quipped it's probably double. Then sat back for a second... then said, "Hmmm... a good deal if you double or triple your life span... how much is that worth?" Better yet, let's shift that and renew ourselves all the time and live continuously!!

This got long too.... more next post!!

Why It Is Imperative to Awaken Immediately, IF Not Sooner... - Part I

Montressa has been generous to me again...

Have you noticed the "drift" of this world? Read the news service's spin on things? Heard the official version of yada yada? Don't things seem a little off sometimes? A little too convenient to all involved. Global warming... oh we can put a tax on the offenders... I'm good with that... BUT it also gives a measure of control to the taxers and apparent taxee... Think about it, the ultimate taxee is you!! Would you run your life the way that corporation who so cavalierly said, "Sure, no problem." 
We'll "pay" for our carbon foot print. Guess who really pays if corporations are to remain profitable and taxable? The consumer, that's who! You see, you really can't get away. It just "looks" like someone else's problem. You supporting that business in anyway supports that decision!

All that I'm proposing is pay attention... that's all you have to do! Pay attention to YOU and what you need. That is part of the Awakening process. Your life matters, you need to get that. We all need to get that our life matters... all the time. Everything we do or don't do matters...

Here's the thing - the way we have done life on this planet is: You're born, you live and then you die. Well, who wouldn't want to leave after you let your life and your body go! After you treat your life and your body like some trivial passing. After letting things be the way they were evolving because you weren't paying attention! You reach a point and you go, "Wow, things are really screwed up... good thing I'm getting out!!" If you don't pay attention you are setting the stage for your leaving.

Then there is the attitude of kick the can down the road... let someone else handle it. I'm outta here anyway. Really? What IF you actually were staying the duration? What IF you had to put things right with the Earth before you were able to leave? That's right. Convenient to leave isn't it? Convenient to let things go. You're leaving anyway, right? What if I told you whether you stay or leave, energetically it IS still your issue? What then? Not possible you say. 'au contraire mon frere'...

I was once contemplating what it meant to commit suicide. A vision arose where a man in tremendous emotional pain put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Guess what? Nothing happened. The intense pain was still there AND he had disconnected from his body... I saw the bullet go right through his head... now no body to carry or experience the emotions in!! Hmm.. he "thought" his last predicament was bad! Try being a disembodied soul in pain in an "ether" where you are only a tormented energy. No body to carry the pain... no body and life to work out and shift the energy... just pure concentrated torment... this was so real to me that I was shaken...

So, you know how some say - Life, you're not getting out alive. I would say, "You're not getting out of your existence whether you're alive or not." And, that too brings me to a choice... if THAT is the case, what is the point of leaving except for the "thought" that it solves something... and for me, leaving it doesn't solve anything... if anything it compounds things...

more tomorrow...

ICE, India & Old Lovers - Finally Available!

ICE, India & Old Lovers:

Is finally available on a limited basis. I was not initially planning on doing this, however your support has been wonderful! So I will do the best I can to get copies out to all that would like to have one of these "collector" edition copies. In effect, you are part of my journey. I only have about 60 copies in this printing. I am planning an Amazon release of substantially the same design and format. Because of the Amazon price structuring it will be more costly.

Also, for this edition only I will personalize each copy by signing it.

Use the link: "Buying - ICE, India & Old Lovers".

Thanks again for all your interest. We can shift this planet by each of us becoming all we can be... As my friend Shana said to me once, "The best version of who we each are!!"

ICE, India & Old Lovers - Time to Move Forward

How to get your Signed Pre-Release Copy

I know Montressa has been posting her comments for awhile and you're wondering, "Hey, when can I read this story?"  The other day, Michelle Crowley, a Facebook friend, wanted to know about how to get a copy of ICE, India & Old Lovers and I promised to figure a way to get copies out sooner. Also, I have gotten other requests and have decided to sell pre-release copies.

The info for buying your copy of ICE, India & Old Lovers will be under "pages" to the upper right on this page early the week of June 2, 2014. Also, check out the "background" and "comments from Annie Burnside" as well!!

The Kaleidoscope of Being...

I asked Montressa if I could post something that has developed in me over the last few days. Her commitment to being all you can be was obvious in her reply, "Yes of course..."

The title of this blog and all the information came to me at once.

Over the last few days, Annie Burnside posted a Facebook comment about the distribution of wealth. And, the inherent question was "Is this the species we chose to be?" Well, while we are making choices all the time, I'd say many times they are "automatic". The automatic part is generated by ongoing existing information "within" us that is based in the fact that things are a certain way. We are not aware and don't take the time/opportunity to ask ourselves what do we really know about the particular choice involved? Where is this choice coming from in terms of our assumptions?

Given that, as I looked at the question of wealth distribution and the further question, "Why do some have so much more than others and why do others, many others have less." One euphemism may suggest, "Well, everybody can't be rich!" ...Right?  ....Well? ....Or can they? And, what constitutes what that richness is? As I wrote rich, what came to mind? See how that is determined by our societal knowledge and "programming". Each one of us has their own version of what "richness" is. For most, it comes in some form from what we have seen or have lived and is in our experience base.

As I went deeper into what Annie Burnside was saying and in the middle of my comment, I fully realized that change comes from within! While, I wrote, "The outer is a manifestation of the inner," I didn't really connect with the full implications of that statement. Let's talk about time here. Once you realize AND accept that in spite of all your experiences to the contrary, there really is no time. We made that up then live it rolled out day by day. In a sense that's life as we know it. That's the way we have done it.

Okay, what does all this mean? What I realized is that there arose up in me a desire to "fight" the injustice. Yet for me, what Annie was proposing was a level of trust in the universe... meaning when I change me... then I change EVERYTHING... it means that the background conversation - everyone can't be rich, can then dissolve. And what about, resources in this world are limited. Is that true? Also, there is only so much Gold. Are these really true statements? Of course we have lived this way. I get that. But that is EXACTLY what I am addressing in the early part of this post. Are we willing to give up what everyone knows, even given we still live in time? Your logical mind will say... wait you don't understand. If this, this and that is true then... I say this to our logical mind... No..no..no..you don't understand... you are not seeing all of it. You are not even evaluating the base assumptions you're basing your assessments on!

I know, what can arise up in us is something to the effect, "You crazy, deluded asshole, what the hell are you saying... just think about it this way and it will be so?" Yes, exactly. Well, close. Be in you that which you seek. Be peace, be happiness.. Be fair distribution of wealth.. then you will think fair distribution of wealth... suddenly, like the red Mustang you've noticed and been liking, you will only be seeing red Mustangs... Ever notice that phenomenon?

Say to the Mountain be thou moved to the sea and it shall be so! Jesus had 12 remedial disciples who couldn't get this... let alone the human population.

Montressa would say, "We are navigating the quantum space without a license." And, she would be right. What do we know about the quantum space? Really, every "time" we attempt to connect, our experience base, our prior knowledge, gets in the way. And, unless you are paying attention it is shaping you transparently.

So, are we really making choices in the full knowledge of the universe or in OUR full knowledge of OUR universe. The latter for sure. THAT is why things are the way they are. Get to a better state.. like the commercial says...

So, Annie Burnside was suggesting, go to that place within and let the answers surface. And, my comment about this: is that many of us don't get there... the answers are behind a pain, behind an existing conversation or belief, behind a sorrow, behind an injustice, behind shame. As I have said before, it takes guts to get to the REAL YOU. BUT, as others have said - the ONLY way out is through. Really. Do you want the real YOU or not? Do it... get help... join a group dedicated to this... whatever it takes.

Here's a motivation for you. When you become present - you are present in the moment - present to the real YOU. You are seeing the experiences of the moment from the real YOU. You are hearing the judgments of your mind from the real YOU. It is now available to YOU rather that being hidden and invisible. Rather than being filtered through little you.

There is nothing wrong with "little you" filtering it...but YOU need to know this.

So, now the punch line: I realized that change is this simple. As each one of us shifts to a new perspective the "mass consciousness" shifts. And, the faster we do this, the faster the change manifests and the faster we see it in our lives and it becomes the new normal.    

Taking the Lid off! - Montressa's View

Well, I am glad Mike started the post about taking the lid off! So, it only makes sense that I address some of my lids. And, boy I had them. That's why I needed a bff like Alex. She always had a sense of where and what the lids were. You know, she would ask me questions about where I was at and it helped illuminate things for me.

Well, I had the father thing. I wanted his attention and his respect and thought I had to do things or be a certain way to get it. Guess what, that's not true. That's a "nice" idea, but it did keep the invisible prison walls there until I could see them.  Then there was the "there won't be enough money if I set off to do what I want" fear. And, there was the "I'm not qualified" to do this conversation I was in. Shall I go on? Okay... Through my conversations with Alex and through my perseverance I kept going and heading for what I wanted. Then there's the "my boss won't like me if I leave" idea I had to get through, as well as what will my father think. That was a big one and then there was, "the company won't survive without me!" That was a fun one too. And, it was true, I had done a lot for ICE. But, then the ICE board made some decisions on their own that I couldn't support. So, that paved the way for me to make my decisions about my life. You know, life has a way of working out... especially when you find those pesky lids!!

What it boils down to is this: "Is your life worth it or not?" Yes, there's all these "things" in the way, but you need to connect with YOU. As you identify the "lids", those invisible prison walls that keep you in place, you need to ask yourself, "Is this true? Is this really true?" That is how you make the lids visible and ultimately THAT is how you remove the lids. Once you can see them you can then begin to make choices about them!!

But, make no mistake about it, I had to confront many things. What I mentioned above are only some of the bigger things. Then there are the relationship issues - oh, the lids... my word. But, I got to see those and confront those as well. I talked about them many blogs ago. I just didn't relate them to "lids" on who I am!! They definitely were. They were tied in with self-worth and even family issues. Oh yes, very invisible, but once you put some attention on them and the importance of your life, lids get visible in a hurry. And, you can make choices about them that address the fundamental question about you - "Is my life worth it or not?"
