Atlantis – Pure and Simple
On August 12th Robert and I traveled down to Judy Welder’s farm outside of Asheville, NC. Our journey was taking us to a workshop with Randall Carlson. His topic was Atlantis and the evidence that this mythical land actually existed. Without going into the whys and wherefores of this full day’s workshop I can tell you that Randall’s research and evidence leaves one with the sinking feeling that we have been lied to all our lives about a fictional storybook land; and yes, this once great Pre-Platonic civilization did in fact exist. No need to elaborate because you are more than welcome to search into Randall Carlson’s livings and workings starting with his website cosmographicresearch.org and beyond that you can draw your own conclusion.
No, this writer is hear to tell you about Randall Carlson the Renaissance man. Having spent the better part of three days with Randall, both in the workshop and the intimate circle of a dining room table, I can safely say that this man resonates with both the world of science and the realm of the mystic.
From topics ranging from Atlantis to Sacred Geometry, home building to music and art, this guy has got it all. I’m always fascinated when I meet someone who legitimately knows his stuff, with no ego as a foundation, but instead an enthusiastic passion for discovery. This is Randall Carlson.
I would implore you to discover yourself the many facets of Randall by tuning in to some of his workshops presently on youtube. You can start here
and the rest is up to you.
Now I would like to say a little something about my friend Judy Welder and her amazing garden of delight nestled in the hills of western North Carolina. To all that attended the workshop she was the most gracious of hosts. Her easy manner and desire for a perfect space gave the 50 plus visitors a wonderland of spiritual aliveness and communal oneness. This was not the first workshop she presented but the first I was blessed to be present at. Her dream is to make this an ongoing event and to bring people together in the light of truthfulness and expanding awareness. This is the Vigilan dream as well and our need for transmuting the ego species into the species of appreciation. We can all be a part of this transmutation, we just have to awaken to the light of the Source and breathe a new consciousness into our present mindset.
For me this past week has been transforming. New doorways have opened inside this consciousness and the journey has taken a new direction. Thank you Randall and thank you Judy for giving me the keys.
The Dance of Maya माया (Illusion)
Do you believe in synchronicity? Yesterday I began a journey on the “Dance of Maya.” I felt an urge to write on the topic and placed the title in the header. As I stared at the title awaiting the words to brew forth from my imagination nothing occurred. I’ve had these moments before and so I decided to save my title for a more expressive day.
This morning I decided I had the inspiration I needed to complete my journey into maya, and again, as I began to write, I realized that what I was searching for was still not attainable. There was emptiness in my writing that cried for help. I turned to my email as a distraction [for I find creative detachment sometimes produces interesting results] and found this wonderful creation forwarded to me from Robert. However intended, this piece fit my expression of maya so well that I thought I would present it to you.

And the Cosmos Echos the Cry, Oneness…
How strong the ego has become these many millennia. We’ve become so enchained by its presence that we have forgotten our true self. This is madness.
I draw your attention to a quote I found in today’s New York Times. The article entitled “Sizing Up Obama, in Real Life” takes the reader on the President’s visit to Edison, NJ, a hub of working class, middle class America. A quote from a local police lieutenant sums up the ignorance and ego-centric attitude living in all of us today.
“Maybe he’s not a true socialist, but his ideals and ideas are — this kumbaya thing where everyone gets the same health care and the same benefits. And most of the health care is going to go to immigrants. Well, the country wasn’t built that way.”
Wow, that kind of sums it up for us all. Are we that void of love, compassion and human kindness. Is it just all about me? Do you think Thomas Jefferson would agree with that man? Hmm!
Imagine walking down the street and passing a homeless person. As we pass a voice calls out, ‘I am God.’ We turn to see only the homeless person before us and wonder where that voice could have come from. We ask, ‘did you say something’ and the homeless person replies ‘yes, I said I am God.’ A chuckle stirs from behind our breath and we stand amazed at the audacity of this misfortuned being. No sooner do we begin to utter our disapproval at this heresy does this being begin to glow with a golden aura. At once we notice a transformation both in him and in our self. Our ignorance mind sees through the veil and becomes enlightened and our recognition of this absolute truth becomes evident.
Now this allegory seems simplistic I know, but there is truth behind these words. If we could just immerse ourselves in the void for just a dot of time we would sense the realness of Divine Oneness.
Among my favorite passages from “Letters” is one in Letter Fourteen “Sides of Oneness.” I bring it back to you now. Meditate on it a while. It holds a knowing that can help make you free.

“Sometimes, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel very much alone, like there is no God, no spirit, no nothing! It’s just me lying there, totally alone in the universe. I try to reach out to God or some spiritual essence, and I get nothing in response. I have to ask you, because you seem like someone who might have an answer. Why do many of us feel so lost and alone, even after a lifetime of seeking? Why would God, if God even exists, leave us feeling this way, without any direct communication? If God exists, why don’t we know it, constantly? Why don’t we really know when we really need to?”
We Come to Earth Bearing a Gift
As we enter the physical realm from the souls world we bring with us a special gift to present to mother earth. This gift we bring is different for each of us, as we are individual souls and each of us has a singular essence. We are aware of this gift before the veil of forgetfulness clouds our minds and this gift seems lost forever, but deep within our physical body, in the center of the jewel that is our true essence, we know. The closer we get to awakening the more the heart cries for this gift, this awareness, to come into the light. Yet our poor egos cry out, ‘no this can never be.’ This child that we placate, and spoil and cherish, this little self of nothingness, begs for life as we move into a new state of understanding. But shining deep with our being lies this jewel of [Oneness.] As we awaken to a greater knowing this jewel shines brighter and the gift we carried on our journey becomes more apparent. It is the power of [Oneness] through the hearts of many. It is an energy so bold that it radiates beyond the cosmos into Source itself. This is our gift. It is there in every iota of life. It is time to open your conscious awareness and present your gift. The earth is waiting.
I would like to give a nod today to Ms Shannon Dunn joining the resonance from the other side of the planet, in New Zealand. You can journey through her blog ShannonDunn.com which is dedicated to better living through a more balanced state of being.
We are traveling in Vermont this week and enjoying the freedom that emanates through the soul of this state. Vermont is truly blessed to have continued the message our Founding Fathers had intended us to live by. Thank you Vermont. We salute you.

Letter Seventeen “Three More Suggestions”
At this point I hope that some or all of you have a copy of the book. It has been great as a meditation for me and as I see the world turning upside down I turn to its pages on a daily basis. Here are some words from Letter Seventeen “Three More Suggestions” which is a reminder of the process by which I can keep my being at peace and my consciousness expanded.
ⓒ 2010 cosmicobserver
“Several letters ago, you gave me three suggestions for living through the Great Storm. Can you give me any more?”
Here are three more suggestions, which are follow-ups to each of the three I started with:
1) As you improve your capacity to actively notice what you are feeling and thinking, and what is happening around you, turn that noticing into the expansion of awareness. Invite into your being a new openness and allowing that will begin to dissolve barriers around the little self. The focus of this is the release of your identity with form, and that which is separate from the Cosmos.
One Nation, Independent through Conscious Evolution
It is July 3rd and I woke today to a [magic in the air.] I don’t know if it is the collective soul of the country, as we near our anniversary of independence… then again, I know it is. For I feel it is this Soul of our nation that is crying for clarity. This independence that has been our label for two plus centuries is mired in the present attitude of ignorance and power. There was oneness, at a time, that cried out among us. The strength of many through the wholeness of one force, one direction, that believed in an idea. An idea so proud that we had not seen it’s presence upon earth in our many lifetimes before. This is our spiritual Soul-ness, our higher intention that guides us here.
Now we are approaching the grand turn in our destiny. This movement of consciousness started back when men and women strived for greatness in thought and a heart filled with appreciation. The pride that was our founders lives in the light that guides our inner most dreams. The dream of being one with the planet and the system that it is a part of. The dream of a galaxy filled with wonders of exploration and a universe filled with dimensions we have yet to traverse. Here lies the idea of a new, evolved humankind.
There is surely a thread that ties us together. A Golden thread, that shimmers so subtle through our being we can only feel its resonance. And yet we stand dumb to accepting what will surely be. We cannot change the destiny that is before us. It is of cosmic making and we are merely the pieces on the board. We can wake to its knowing and become part of it or we can sleep in our uncomfortable egos and get lost along the way. Is this what our founders had in mind? Are we a sleeping nation, unaware of the greatness that lies ahead?
So let us wake tomorrow with a new voice. One of gratitude for the light that has been past down to us. Appreciation of who we are and where we are headed. For we cannot stop the evolution from happening. It is upon us and as strong as ever. We can ignore it for the sake of our own single needs and wants. But this thing that is so great, so much bigger than all that surrounds us, is a force that will push all that self serving aside. It will annihilate the foolish ego minds and present us with an idea that is beyond our imagination. And yet, those who imagine it will make it so.

The Grass Roots of the Spiritual Movement
Last night I attended a workshop at the Sages Pages Bookstore in Madison, NJ. At first glance you think this is just another community book seller with the usual titles. Not so fast. Down the stairs, to the right and left and all around, is an abundance of mystical charms that will move any soulful aspirant to a mood of heightened Samadhi. The vibration alone is enough to open your Third Eye and give you glances of a world beyond 3D. Lillian, the joyous shop owner, is ready for any question on any subject. Her wit and upbeat demeanor is a welcome addition, in a world filled with cold shoulders and disinterested retailers.
This evening’s attraction is a wonderful monthly workshop and meditation with Ilona Anne Hress. Ilona is a healer. She heals beyond the needs of the body. She heals through the nuances of the spirit. Her approach is filled with laughter, inquisitiveness, application and sound. She makes light, she reads, she teaches and she sings. By the time the evening has ended you are in another world. You feel one with Peace and Light and Cosmic Fairy Dust. As I write this post I can say I am still reeling from the effects. I would recommend that any and all participate in Ilona’s world and she can be contacted through her website growingconsciousness.com
So this is it. This is where it all begins. Not in the star laden hierarchy of the spiritual gurus or the new age wannabees. No this is a grass roots movement that is taking it’s energy from the sincere, awakened souls, that populate the hills and dales of our vast planet. The Dick and Jane crowd. This is where the movement is taking shape and this is where the movement is going to evolve. I pray that you realize, each one of you, that your addition to this movement is as important as any team that needs all of it’s players to win. The future holds magical things for humanity. It is not the apocalyptic vision that some of society imagine. That is only their ego’s fear that paints that picture. No, this is a world that has been envisioned in all the great minds and hearts of those who have brought Knowing to this realm of humankind. Krishna, Buddha, Christ – they all knew and tried to tell us. And we have laid dumb to their words. But change has come in our time and we are in the midst of a great shift. This shift is so great that in generations to come we won’t even recognize the beings we are now. It is a time of celebrations – through the very muck and mire of the ignorance that stands in our way – we move ahead. Strong in our knowing of what will come next, a life of Peace and Oneness and Appreciation of all that the Source, through Conscious Evolution, is giving us.
This is a great beginning people. Don’t be fooled by the tumultuous happenings of the moment. Remember, it is always darkest just before the dawn.

Let’s Take the First Step Back to Sanity…
Oil spill, bp, unemployment, goldman sachs, bin laden, Afghanistan, rush limbaugh, rachel maddow, glenn beck, keith oberman, joe barton, nancy pelosi, john boehner, environmental catastrophe, gulf coast, health care, off shore drilling, stanley mcchrystal, john mccain, sarah palin, michelle bachmann, dick cheney, george bush, barack obama.
All these items or names are featured prominently in our daily news. They evoke an emotional response, however big or small, from most of us, and set the stage for our disposition to change it’s temperament and control our mood for an extended time. Perhaps you are riled up just from one of the above mentioned. Let’s try an experiment. Let’s see if we can neutralize the effect they have on our psyche.
Close your eyes and imagine all those items and names are points of light, out in front of your vision. You can hear chatter coming from those lights. The chatter, at first, fills your head with annoying sound, but allow the chatter to subside and the lights to become silent, just twinkling in the air. Now see those lights become one large sphere and see it move to a spot about 10 inches above your head. As it floats there, imagine something that brings joy into your life; a flower, a painting, a poem, a song or a face, and place it in the center of the sphere. Next, see the sphere move down into your head and feel it release the pressure of the noise from all sides of your skull. Let the sphere move into your throat and taste sweetness on your tongue. Once again, move the sphere into your stomach and feel it release all the tension in that spot 3 inches below the navel. Finally, move the sphere into your heart. Let it hover there for a while. Now let it expand, filling your entire body. Feel the balance it affords. The peace from within.
This is the state of appreciation. This state of appreciation comes from balancing the emotions and leveling the mind. It is the natural state of an evolved species and one that can be ours.
Have a great day…

Beyond the Fringe
Last night Chris Matthews, of MSNBC, aired a report on “The Rise of the New Right.”
It showed a cross-section of emotional driven egos, short on facts and long on ignorance. In many ways it could be compared to the 1968 horror film “Night of the Living Dead.” There is a mob mentality in both cases and a dumbed down, unconscious approach to life. The zombies are recently risen-from-the-dead carnivores, who have nothing better to do than ravage the countryside looking for new blood to consume. The New Right are recently risen-from-the-ranks, confused middle class white Americans, who are ravaging the countryside looking for gratification of their sophomoric emotional pain bodies. They are being led by disgruntled, former would be politicians, whose sole purpose in life is to grab the limelight and spread idiocy throughout the land. When shall we learn…

Message from O
6-15-10
Discuss the disconnect between those who have egos and those who don’t. For instance:
“If ego is the major problem on the planet now, and we cannot do anything to get rid of it, what is our true course of action? You have said the change (mutation) must come from within—at the genetic level—and that we cannot make it happen; it must be the soul or Source who does it–when it gets ready. That sort of leaves us just hanging around waiting, while all hell is breaking loose. This doesn’t feel right to me. Surely, there is something we can do!”
May I respond?
“Yes. I didn’t know you were listening. Thanks, O. I would love to hear from you.”
Letter Twenty-Four “Homo Angelicus” …the final pages
In these final pages to Letter Twenty-Four we find an answer to the question of existence is brought into a new light. We have tried for eons to fathom the purpose of life on earth and the trials we must go through along the way. In our egoic nature we assume many things, yet know no thing. We are brash life forms, with arrogance and pride as our brother and sister. We allow our defensive egos to laud over the simplicity and purity of truth. Wrapped up in our day to day floundering we have no space for our true nature; our inner cry to listen, to sense and and to know. Competing for greatness, in a world that knows nothing greater than ego’s cry for acceptance, is a sad eulogy for our dying species. And we are dying. The ego fed life of humanity is turning the corner of existence and walking into the light of a new consciousness. It’s about time.

[I rise up with a realization.] “Wait! You are revealing this information to us. So, the knowledge of the Key to the Threshold will now pre-date its discovery. How will this affect evolution and all?”
“Ah. Now, my son, you are picking up clues to how Conscious Evolution really works. I said that we have done this all before. We’re practicing it all over and over, until we get it right.”
