There’s serious talk of other dimensions, which we may learn more about as we progress. In the meantime, keep your camel tied and pay those taxes!

There are times when, along the paths that form the grid of what is, two sojourners meet at an intersection. Points of contact help define the nature of the grid. As space and time intersect in the dimension of life we know, our history informs our experience of life. Our 3rd dimension of matter and energy is being intersected from other dimensions. Sacred Geometry seems to be a key in understanding the Crop Circle phenomenon. The recent Indonesian crop circle is supposed to be the symbol of the root chakra, which can also be seen to symbolize the earth’s core. As this core is being activated right now, a geomagnetic polar shift is underway. When the kundalini energy, coiled in the root chakra, is released, it is uncoiled like a serpent free to stretch out through the other chakras; activating each along its path. Perhaps humanity, right now, is being awakened by Mother Earth! We, her children, have a lesson to be learned about the decisions we have made. This may be the basis from which to develop a new paradigm. Perhaps both death and taxes will no longer have their way with us! Time does seem to be of the essence.

I don’t know about this “all” business — pretty black and white in a word with a lot of grey. But the more open we are and the more we work together, the better.

That idea which is widely attributed to Einstein actually isn’t in his quotes. Strange but true.

Lovely if we could stay positive and enjoy the trip. I like a quote from Carlos Castaneda’s Journey to Ixtlan: “In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is not time for regrets. There is only time for decisions.”

In each new land (of circumstance) we encounter, we bring with us the culture from which we emerged, as well as the baggage it has given us. When we are born, as when we embark upon a journey, we are faced with the unknown. Isn’t it apparent that in the process of living fully life informs our mission? An open mind & an open heart embellish the quality of what can be experienced.

If everyone would quit bickering about their own beliefs and just open themselves up to an actual true sense of consciousness and awareness and work together to explore reality vs perception I believe we could make a huge leap into the future we all seem to deny. We’re so hell bent on pushing our own thoughts or propaganda for political, emotional, or downright spite; we miss the whole point of the debate in the first place. The world could be a much better place if we quit trying so hard to go forward without asking if we’re ready; but instead take a step back to see if we like where we’re at now and what to change. I believe it was Einstein who said, “We can’t fix a problem with the same methods of thinking that created it.”
