Change Will Do You Good

 

Stepping from one world into another can be quite chaotic.

In The Terminator, the Governator drops from the sky – naked, as does Reese, Sarah Conner’s protector.  This wasn’t just to get buns on screen.  It emphasized the transition of state from future to past.  

Take it home into your own space:  If you could zap through your cell phone and instantly transport to wherever your caller is – but only if you’re naked – how often would you do it?  I’d buy stock in fitness and weight loss centers.

State transitions are chaotic.  Don’t take my word for it, ask nature.  After all, if this world is really made out of the nothing you had to create it, wouldn’t it mirror its interior structure somehow? 

Does your shape have anything to do with your bone structure?

Winter turns to spring.  There’s always that one last snow, the one that comes later than anyone expects.  Or else we find the early spring, followed by a late frost.  

A watched pot never boils.  Until it does.

A sonic boom.  The beating of notes when tuning a guitar. Finding a station on an old AM radio.  What, you never had a rotary dial?  

State transitions are characterized by rapid swings back and forth, like a flag flapping in the wind.  First, there is one state, then wild oscillation that almost touches either possible state, then another state.   The planets and stars do it, the earth’s magnetic field does it.  The markets do it.  So does your state of consciousness, and your level of being – not that anyone of consequence is judging.  

Change.  Isn’t there some kind of book of changes?  Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?  Change is.  Change does.  Change is as it does.  Time balances change.  Change is the flow of time.

Life is change.  Change is life.  You can point at their artifacts, but you can never catch them on film.  They belong to the present, which has no dimension.  

Being nothing, they can only be experienced by nothing.

There is no where without dimension.  There are no directions in nowhere.

Yet, there’s exactly enough time for everything to happen in the future, and exactly enough time to fit the past.  And don’t worry, the present will never lose your luggage.  

You can always pick it up when you get somewhere.

Backstory

Why can’t you just make something appear out of thin air?

Well, that stubborn conditioning is always a problem. Ever see something that shouldn’t be there and do a doubletake?  What happened when you looked back? It wasn’t there, was it now?  Pesky conditioning.

So, what to do?  Ah, here is where the good old Deus Ex Machina comes in. Ever see something in the world that came from a story?  It literally appears out of thin air, but no one notices. Why? Because it has a history.  A fake one, but what history is real anyway?  Any way you slice it, it is a way to get past that pesky conditioning.

But let’s not get fictional here. There’s enough material sitting in that cesspool we bipedal mindjobs call ‘I forgot’ to last several lifetimes. Just forgetting what we remember and remembering what we forgot can be quite useful here. As long as it’s done the right way, of course.

The world is a stage and you’re holding the spotlight. Do you see the possibilities?

Windsurfing

So you’ve decided to be an individual.  Well, good for you.  Really!  More specifically, good for you if you know you’re doing it.  It’s a show if you’re in front of a curtain, but it is understanding to know what goes on behind it.  Wisdom is the unfolding of things in front of and behind the curtain, all at one time, guided by understanding, and at the same time putting on a hell of a show.  Writer / director / actor / fan, anyone?

Ok, back to the water. Take your windsurfing rig for a spin.  On the waves, you compensate for movement and also balance the pull of the mast.  In the wind, you angle the sail and apply pressure, distributing your weight to keep the center at the point of balance.  

Ever heard of a light sail?  Capturing the energy of the light of a star, the sail is propelled at ever increasing velocities.  It will literally blow you away, given enough time.  You see, light may be fast, but it just can’t lift that much.

We surf the automatic nature of our lower bodies in the influence of the lawful forces.  In the event of contact with being, perhaps we have a means of balancing, keeping the center correct.  Perhaps we can guide our rig as needed.

To where?  Ah, that’s the point.  So you rented “The Secret” and you hang out on Mondays with Oprah.  ”Now” you can get what you’re trying to manifest.  But is it what you need?  How do you know if you’re trapped in that dualistic brain? Better to give your machinery something it can chew on, something it will need in order to make contact with something more refined to complete the intention.  

For the benefit of all beings everywhere.

Kinda narrows the scope a bit, huh?  No worries, there’s plenty of fruit along the path.  And you don’t have to worry about over harvesting!  Wow, it’s quiet here.

And then the noise is back.  Crazy, huh?  Pay attention – just believe.  And then take everything that comes impartially – after all, you didn’t order by yourself.  Or, should I say, you ordered with more of your being.

You are here.  I am here.  I + here = am.  Being remembers the individual with the here.  So that wind gust that caused you to correct the sail = you.  And that wave that made you shift your weight to compensate?  You.  And you? You.

So is true magic in the wind and the wave?  The sun and the earth?

Influence flows like light, but it cant lift much.  Give it time – steal it from the past if you need to.  The magician asks through the being of the here, and the experiencer compensates, if they recognize what they created.

Ain’t it Funny?

What has happened to your life?  Do you know?

Yeah, things were so great when you were young, when you were in love, when you were rich, whatever.  Well, what are you now?

How did you get here?

Ah, the real question is, what is now?  Is it something you are trapped in, tortured with?  Where is now?  In time?  In space?

Try to define it with words, with symbols.  Try to visualize it.  Now…

Is it still now?  And what was now like while you focused on it, dissected it?  Was it different than what it was before you started reading this?

And if now is different, then are you telling me that now of now is the same now of then, since the now then has to be the same now as the now now in order to be different?  

And if it is the same now, and you changed it by focusing on it, then…

What has happened to your life?  Do you know?
