As we get deeper and deeper into the Great Storm happening all around us, I would like to offer up thoughts and feelings I have received from reading Letters. Most will be from my daily meditations and others from whimsical bursts of vibration echoing through my mind.

1/22…2:57 PM Consciousness

I found something appear interesting in my meditation today. An example or explanation of consciousness aroused my sensing. Consciousness like air is all pervading. We can’t see it yet we know it is there. If we capture some air in a jar and close the lid tightly it becomes the property of the jar. It is separated from the larger body of air outside the jar yet it is still a part of the all that is air. Like this captured air the consciousness in a human body is separated from the all that is consciousness due to the veil of separation created by our ego driven minds. The mind like the lid is closed tightly and the consciousness captured within has lost the capacity to join the greater consciousness that is all pervasive.

Let’s open the lid and the mind and allow our air/consciousness to become one with the all that is. We will lose nothing and gain everything.

1/23…7:24 PM beyond the life of separated ego

How many of us are ready to take the next step into awakened consciousness, beyond the life of separated ego?

There are those already there, inviting the willing to step on up and gaze into the mighty void. It is not a thing to fear although it seems so ominous to our small minded ways of thought. It is as simple as the breath we take for granted or the silence that lives between the words. It is so minute that we can not perceive it and so vast we can not fathom it. Yet it is our destined path and our Souls are waiting patiently. So… Gather up and move to freedom.

1/24…10:37 AM a vision of peace in my minds eye

There is a vision of peace in my minds eye. Not the peace that designates community among nations, although that would be a good thing, no this peace is relegated to the state of being that lies beyond thought. It is not a state of calm or assuredness. It is a centered balance of all the atoms that make up our being. It wisps us up like a cloud of smoke into the eternal realm of conscious awareness. This peace murmurs a stillness beyond recognition and yet it is all recognizable. It consumes all and is all expanding. It is settled in the tiniest of things and the vastness of no-things. Truly, this peace which has alluded us till now is nearer than our very skin. It is not in or around us, but we can sense it. Close your eyes now, travel deep into and beyond,  into and beyond… Welcome it. It is our true home.

1/25…12:13 PM about life and living without all the complications

I am sitting at my computer working on a photography album and a vague light appeared between my thoughts. As it became more pronounced  I started to feel this thread about life and living without all the complications we attach to it. What if we woke up each day with a breath of love exhaling from our nostrils, a love for this moment of new creative energy we have brought back from our travels during our evening rest? What if there was no drudgery in our minds, no distaste for how we spend the next hours of our day? Could we exist in a realm of quiet motion and silent expression? Could we harmonize with our fellow travelers – making no judgments or critiques? What a glorious world we could find outside our door if this were so. As we move through the next step of Conscious Evolution we will have no choice but to become what we believe is impossible. Enlightenment is not a state of mind it is a process of transformation. For when the transformation has become whole our minds will know it as all there ever was.

1/27…11:32 AM Taylor Jahn Bright

Today is the 24th birthday of our son Taylor Jahn Bright. His physical being left the planet on January 4, 1992. He was almost six. His image  never left my mind for many years. I saw him as I woke in the morning and he was the last vision I had before rest took me to the dream world. I have dreamed about him from time to time over the years. He always gave me a laugh. I still think of him daily. He is a part of my fabric and after years of sadness I have grown to see a new vision of this little boy. His atoms course through my essence. I no longer feel empty without him.

There is a new child that has entered through our life’s gate. He has been with us for one year now. His beauty and grace and laughter shine above all other thoughts of sadness and longing and pain. His name is Taylor Cole Bright. His atoms course through my essence. I feel complete with him.

Today is the 24th birthday of our son Taylor Jahn Bright. Happy Birthday!

1/30…11:37 AM Oneness with the Creative Source

There is a new clarity peeking above the stormy horizon. It is a breath of freedom that is felt in the very atoms of our self. It is a pure thing and anointed with the liquid of love. Emanations are peering through the darkened cloud that surrounds our presence now and the inner heart is sensing a new path. It is our Soul’s birth into a revealing life of Oneness with the Creative Source. The transmutation is sublime and can only give us a glimmer of its newness. We must enter the realm of darkness and beyond to catch a glimpse. It is here now and we must be ready, for it will leave nothing behind. Even the unconscious will be caught up in the wave and cast into this revelation; to a new expression of life, a new vision of Source. It is beyond our means to change this. Embrace it with all that Source has provided and we will be at the seat of the Divine once more.

2/04…6:52 PM We see no further than our nose tips

It is getting fiery on the planet now. The Great Storm that is mentioned in Letters is building day by day. The mental noise that pervades the natural attitude of homo sapiens is so cacophanous that we are unaware of the rising turbulence. We see no further than our nose tips. We are surrounded by an egoic shell that is so hardened by millenniums of wear that our sense of reality is broken. We have created an illusion in the midst of a greater reality and that illusion is our brand. We could say that ignorance has exploded over 99% of the planet and therefore we have a reason to neglect the truth. There are those who would say that “we” are living the illusion, that 1% who believe in something greater. But we have seen something more in our folly. We have seen that light that squeaks through the darkness of ignorance and plants a kiss on the minds of those so inclined. It lies so blessed in our hearts and those of us who have heard the words of the Christ shall know the truth. The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!

Can we hope that our present future, the one that lives in our lives, can make a show? Will we realize our own calling to a better state before our bones are dry? It can only work in one way. The noise must stop. The mind must rest. The heart must venture forth into a world of understanding, a world of compassion, a world of Authenticity. Before we can call ourselves human we must rise above the petty playings of a fittest mentality. We must lose our attachments, all except the attachment to loving kindness. For in that love is a piece of the Divine. A residue brought into the physical world to share.

This ignorance of ours has only a short time more to exist. It is changing in leaps and bounds before our very eyes. It is changing beyond the tip of our nose and we are unaware. But it will be and be well. The next future lives know this. We can join them before they arrive and set the stage for the grandest of transformations. Slow down the drums of war. Slow down the drums of greed. Slow down the drums of power. Ignite the flame of Oneness and Let It Be.

2/07…9:54 AM enter into the reality of Oneness

As much as I like to remain neutral in this ongoing battle for control of the political will of the country, I must voice an opinion on this subject and then step back. It is evident from our history that our system of governing was based on freedom from state control and unfair practices. It was meant to give the general folk a voice in their elected body with the hope that there would be a fair playing field for all. The minds that crafted these ideals were no different from yours and mine. There were sparks of brilliance among those early warriors of change and somehow their voices were heard more clearly than would be the case now. However, even in those birthing days of political transition, ignorance was manifest in the majority and the majority ruled. It seems that the reptilian consciousness that spawned our species is still so prevalent within it. This mentality which guides our deepest instincts has raised its ugly head once more in this new generation of no-it-all, self-appointed pundits. Since we have walked blind-eyed into our most recent set of earth shattering  dis-eases, such as the demise of our capital power, the inability to service our citizens health needs and the rising urgency for the salvation of our earth’s resources,  we are ill-equipped to deal with the consequences that they have manifested. This, all due to our lust for power and wealth, has created a rising voice among the majority reptilian minds; to cast the present leaders out and produce a different paradigm. With no thought of intelligence behind these proceedings, and a new leadership hunkering in the wings with no real sense of solution to our present situation – what are we to do?

Now is the time to enter into that state – beyond reptilian mind and emotional gut. Now is the time to go beyond the god belief, which we created to vanquish our fear of life, and enter into the reality of Oneness that is messaging through our very atoms. It lies deep within each one of us, but we are capable of retrieving it and using it.  For it is our only salvation. This is the time to step inside ourselves and smell the roses. Give power to those who truly want to serve humanity and make us right. Give power to those whose knowledge can better our stand in this perilous time. Give power to those who care more for the power of love rather than the love of power. Move out of that reptilian brain that has haunted you these many incarnations. Move up into that Divine space where the thread of Oneness ties us to the Source. Do not suppose that you can live and die without any contribution to your Soul’s quest. Your Soul came into this life for the glory of the experience. Do not disappoint that essence child which is the true Divine.

2/11…2:52 PM A call to freedom

There is a moment in each of our lives when that Consciousness, that makes us all what we are, pierces the veil of ego and strikes a clarion call deep within the very essence of our being. A call to freedom, to drop the bonds of ego and sail to the heights of ecstasy.

It resonates so loudly, out from the center of our souls, that it fills our body with an understanding of pure bliss. We then feel absolute oneness with the cosmos and all that inhabit its surrounds. For we know at that moment that we are all part of the one Source that dreams the worlds we live in.

We can feel deep in our cells these divine vibrations coursing through our pathways. They rise through our emotions and our mind to convey intentions of life. But we can never know them true except through the heart. Go there now for just second. Imagine it as all encompassing. Feel its embrace to the ends of your personal space. It is where lies the truth of all that is. And this can only make us greater.

2/18…5:37 PM a moment of Self discovery

There is certainly a vibration that descends from the thirteenth chakra, down through the crown chakra and is felt by the physical self. It is subtle; yet with enough noticing it becomes a friendly addition to your every day demeanor. The best word to describe the particular feeling is emanating. You can feel its hum pulsing so gently in and around your body. It then begins to lull you into a state of calm. It’s as though you were floating barely 2″ off the ground. As you notice this sensation and allow it to move through you there comes a glimmering of poise within the self. And as you notice and allow and it becomes more aligned to your form, you seem to float through the veil of unknowing into the light of oneness with the Supreme Source. As a separated ego-conscious-form you could believe this is the beginning of self Realization or perhaps move beyond the ego into Oneness with the Source and know it is the action of the Absolute enjoying a moment of Self discovery.

2/20…3:47 PM I am I

The more you pay attention to news around the globe the more you get this feeling that people are moving further away from awakening to a more conscious way of living. It is as though ignorance has moved in for one last go around. And in light of all the insanity taking place, this musing entered the fold today:

I am I
or I am not
I came to be
and I forgot
to use the wish
my soul claimed
I know nothing
of the game.

My head’s a buzz
with needless things
my mind’s a fuzzy
realm with wings
that fly beyond
and never back
I somehow lost
the return track.

What is it then
I wish I knew
is it something
known by few
I thought but no
no thought can be
for thoughts are what
keep me less free.

And free I am
or I am not
I came in free
but I forgot
to set aside
the timeless chime
that wakes me
from this fuzzy rhyme.

So now I see
I’ve got it now
there is a way
to show me how
to close my mind
and wander off
the edge….

2/27…3:23 PM exaltation and harmony

I find it interesting that the predictions, by biblical prophecy or the seers of our past, are happening now before our very eyes. Earthquake upon earthquake, storm after storm; the electromagnetic field is suffering the ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.’ It has changed its pulsation to a more violent experience. Since the Harmonic Convergence in 1987 it seems that Earth has passed through a field of disharmony and this field has restructured the atoms of life. The more that denial of our fate is being promulgated into our society the greater the negative field of transformation is entering. The planetary shift, whether polar or cerebral is happening at a rapid pace. Time has leapfrogged  itself and we are looking backwards instead of ahead. Are we ready for this crack in the fabric of creation or is this anomaly the passageway for our next adventure? Soon we shall see. I think heeding the seat belt sign is the way to go. Hold on tight because the next phase is going to be mind-blowing.

For you see, on the other side of the door lies a state of exaltation and harmony unmatched by anything we have known to date. Whether the naysayers like it or not, Conscious Evolution is taking us by the scruff of the neck, swallowing us up and spitting us out onto a new field of dreams. I can already feel the rush.
