Be Still My Heart…Introducing Michael Day

September 7, 2010 admin 2 Comments

There is something about some people that elicits a big YES. You just know that they KNOW. My fantasies are of a retreat center for the likes of these people where we take philosophers’ walks and have hot tub colloquies. My dream gets reignited each time I find another of my dream partners. So, this is to introduce you to Michael Day. I stumbled across him because he stumbled across me. I was basking in the loveliness of an email he sent me, and when I went on his website, listed at the bottom of it, it eclipsed my pleasure at his communication with my pleasure at finding another deep soulmate.

Do yourself the favor of going to his new blog Freedom and Healing and reading his intro to himself, which is a call to all of us. Here are excerpts:

First excerpt:

Over the last 11,000 years, it cannot be said that humanity, as a species, has made very many truly conscious or enlightened choices. That’s not to say that massive advances in science and technology haven’t occurred. They have, but these accomplishments still indicate an innate disability. For one, our DNA has still only been activated to one third of its capacity. Secondly, our brain and nervous system have essentially been held hostage by a profoundly powerful form of negative entrainment known as dualistic thinking. Hence, our focus and creative expression have remained literally locked “outside ourselves” causing us to unconsciously restrict our search for the secret of this universe and our existence to the external or material world that can be seen with the physical eye. This is why the actualization of our full potential will basically remain “locked up” until we finally rediscover that the infinite technology (who we really are) lies dormant inside every one of us.

When we reflect on the impact of a less than fully activated DNA, combined with dualistic thinking, it becomes easier to understand what is meant when we say that humanity is essentially asleep or in a dormant state of ultimate creativity.

This dormancy also fosters a thorough and insidious amnesia which makes it almost impossible for us to know…

– who we really are – what we really are – why we really are – what and why this Earth is.

This pervasive sleep and amnesia has caused us to live in a state of fear and insecurity where most of the time, we feel separate from other human beings…separate from ourselves…and separate from whatever or whomever we choose to refer to as God.

Our psychology is devastated by this dilemma and our general behavior proves this. For the most part, our choices are more narcissistic than they are serving, more care-less than care-full, more focused on “power over” than on empowering, and usually more in the spirit of competition instead of collaboration and cooperation.

And because our thoughts are restricted to a dualistic perspective, we are only able to perceive each moment as a similarity or a difference. This means that we are often not able to easily think outside the box…We find it difficult to maintain contact with the larger picture of any moment…

Second excerpt:

Worst of all…

our external focus causes us to find it difficult, sometimes even threatening to relax and enjoy the infinite possibilities that are the Self and Life. Basically, we are in a trance and every choice we make while in that trance tends to reinforce more than free us from our imprisonment…

We have clearly entered into a phase of our evolution where the magnitude and severity of the present global problems can no longer be effectively remedied by a brilliant or ingenious individual, a socially conscious corporation, or governmental legislation.

Instead, it is becoming increasingly clear that a global transformation of human consciousness may now be our only true solution.

And here is the email Michael Day sent me:

Subject: Rushing to my computer…

Suzanne..Suzanne…Suzanne…

THAT was a truly beautiful film….

The first true documentary on Crop Circles…

Excellent editing…

Great selection of interviews…

Each time a question arose for me…

you handled it in the next section!

You spoke so beautifully to both sides of the brain

and so clearly to the heart.

Thank you so much for all the love…

and perseverance…

and vision…

and occasional alienation by certain people….

thank you for not letting anything stop you.

I bought your film last December

and have been waiting to see it ever since.

I live in Venezuela

and we can rarely get things shipped here

because the only way to do so

is to pay $5.00 a pound with a $75 minimum.

Any other way and the item always gets stolen.

Our shipment that we started building last December

finally arrived last night

and we had breakfast to your video.

By time we’d finished it…

the three of us couldn’t talk.

I look forward to staying in touch with you

over the glorious upcoming years.

I practiced for 30 years as a spiritually oriented psychotherapist

and I used crop circles a lot to help people who came to see me

step deeper into their unique potential.

Thank you also for all the work you have done on yourself

that enabled you to be such a dynamic and clean vehicle.

Busy being the change I want to see in the world…

Crop Circles

Crop Circles Go Way Back

August 19, 2010 admin

Anybody who knows crop circle lore knows about this, but, since many of you aren’t circle historians, I’m passing along what always is cited as the first irrefutable evidence of the appearance of crop circles, way before the modern era. Someone sent me this post about it from the BBC’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy forum :

Crop circles are not a new phenomenon. There are 17th Century woodcuts that record the observation of what appears to be crop circles. One such woodcut, entitled The Devil Mower, appeared in a Hertfordshire newspaper dated 22 August, 1678. The article described the apparition overnight of a strange design in a field of oats, so neatly pressed that “no mortal man was able to do the like”, which was attributed to “the devil or some infernal spirit “. By convoluted logic this apparition confirmed the existence of God, since, it was argued, if devils have a Hell then there must be a Heaven and a God.

Here is what it says:

Being a True Relation of a Farmer, who Bargaining with a Poor Mower, about the Cutting down Three Half Acres of Oats: upon the Mower’s asking too much, the Farmer swore That the Devil should Mow it rather than He. And so it fell out, that very Night, the Crop of Oat shew’d as if it had been all of a flame: but next Morning appear’d so neatly mow’d by the Devil or some Infernal Spirit, that no Mortal Man was able to do the like. Also, How the said Oats ly now in the Field, and the Owner has not Power to fetch them away. Liscensed, August 22nd, 1678.

This and That

Is Time Speeding Up?

August 16, 2010 admin 7 Comments

I was turned onto a site by listmember Bill Casey. If you want to quit your day job and get lost in internet info, have a look at http://www.pagenews.info, the site is run by Peter A. Gersten Esq., former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS).
I particularly picked up on one piece about the sense of time speeding up. It always bothers me when people speak of that, since it defies the laws of physics. I am not married to lawfulness across the boards, but there are limits to how far my mind will stretch and that idea is challenging. But, when I read this, about the Mayan calendar, I got some sense of how to interpret that idea to fit into the reality I know.

2012 – Are We on a Schedule to Cosmic Consciousness?

Here’s an excerpt:

I sense an acceleration going on; that time itself seems to be going faster each year, and most people I talk to have the same view. But is it really time that is speeding up? Here’s an analogy that may explain the relationship:

Imagine a ball rolling across a level surface, the distance it travels each second would be constant, apart from the effect of friction

– this is a linear approach that is similar to how we perceive life. However, if the ball were dropped from the top of a tall building, in the first second it would travel thirty-two feet. But the time it would take to travel the next thirty-two feet would be less than half a second as its speed would increase exponentially because of the accelerating force of gravity.

If you were a microbe on this ball, you might therefore conclude that time is speeding up. In this case it is not time that is speeding up, it is the distance traveled that is increasing each second. In a similar way, evolution is also exponential and time is not speeding up, but the number of events occurring in each year is increasing: It took two billion years from the origin of life to the creation of cells and just fourteen years from the PC to the World Wide Web!

To demonstrate the exponential nature of evolution, astronomer Carl Sagan imagined a cosmic calendar (Video is above) in which one year represented the whole of history from the start of the universe (big bang) until today. His powerful conclusion was: “We humans appeared so recently that our recorded history occupied only the last few seconds of the last minute of December 31st.” When this type of acceleration is plotted on a logarithmic scale, as was done by futurist Ray Kurszweil, the pattern unfolds as a straight line with events increasingly faster and faster. Author, Ken Wilber suggests that this scientific view of history as mere evolution suffers one great defect: “It cannot explain or even suggest the meaning of this going somewhere. Why evolution – What is the purpose of history?”

However, an alternative with striking similarities to the scientific version of evolution is the Mayan Calendar which provides not only a context and a structure supported by history; it suggests a meaning of divine importance. The interpretations developed by Carl Johan Calleman, an internationally recognized authority in Mayan history, detail this inspiring viewpoint and provide credible evidence of its validity.

Pyramid

According to Calleman, the Mayan Long Count is not a calendar of time, but is believed to be a sacred schedule of energy for the evolution of consciousness through time. Its date of creation is unknown in the mists of centuries BC. It is a schedule of incredible mathematical precision in which time accelerates in each of nine overlapping epochs.

They cover from the ‘big bang’ billions of years ago until ending on the same date: 28 October 2011. Each new cycle commences with a distinct leap, a quantum jump, into an expanded form of consciousness which develops and matures toward the end of that cycle. The nine epoch with their significant starting events are shown in the diagram below.

The first cycle of the nine, labeled the CELLULAR CYCLE, puts the start of the universe – the big bang – at 16.4 Billion years BC. This is remarkably close to the current expert estimate of 15 Billion years. Over this vast period the galaxies and solar system were formed, eventually followed by the emergence of cellular life by 1.26 Billion years BC.

To give an idea of acceleration nested in these cycles, 95% of the time passes before the next cycle is initiated. Each successive cycle is exactly twenty times faster and twenty times shorter than the one below. (The mathematical duration of each one equals 13 X 20x years, where x reduces each cycle.)

Finally, the last cycle, optimistically named the COSMIC CYCLE, will start 10 February 2011 and last only 9 months.
