The Free Radical

The meetup in the dreamtime is progressing exceptionally well. With all of the dreamtime activity though, I’m experiencing days of sheer exhaustion. I sometimes feel like I’m partying all night long in my sleep… and then awake I’m feeling somewhat less than perfectly rested. Oh well, this is definitely a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

The image of a raucous party is actually fairly apropos. We’re all so very different in the dreamtime than we typically are in waking life. We’re a very confident, self-assured bunch. In the dreamtime it’s like we all know exactly what’s going on and know exactly what we each need to do to move the mission forward. Judging from the questions I’m receiving via email however, that confidence is stretched very thinly across our waking minds like a fragile veil. I would like to point out though that the quality of the questions for the most part is quite excellent!

These messages are an attempt at bridging the gap between our physical embodiments and our dreaming doubles. Team members are apparently having little difficulty reaching the level of the collective in their dreaming, but most are still having a devil of a time recalling their participation upon waking. The foremost thing to point out here is that this is perfectly normal and to be expected. Don’t sweat it. You may be simply left with a vague feeling upon awakening that you’ve just returned from somewhere significant, but not a single image comes to mind. The collective unconscious is a place of very deep dreaming… and it tends to be rather featureless. For now just trust that the task is being accomplished as I endeavour to do my best to appease your conscious concerns.

The (great) questions are beginning to pile up, but I’d like to spend a fair chunk of time on this two-part question, since I think it’s rather important in a foundational kind of way.

Q: Why is The Shift taking so fucking long, and what does it mean to be awake and aware anyway?

A: Now doesn’t that just stab at the heart of the matter right there? Hopefully y’all can relate to that one!

As for the first part of the question, at this point I’d say that it really isn’t taking that long. When we gather in the dreamtime, we’re all pretty satisfied with the pace of the progress being made. We see all the necessary movements and shifts occurring at a relentless pace at that very deep level. (It’s kinda like the visual peak of a magic mushroom trip where everything is just liquid fun and fluid, morphing and flowing patterns breaking down and recombining.) We’re just still experiencing difficulty dragging the evidence up into the waking world of physicality. A tipping point is rapidly coalescing however. I mean, honestly, can’t you just feel that most people are bristling with the energy that shouts “Enough!”? It has to burst forth soon. Just look at the situation in Ukraine. Could the Western oligarchs look any more incompetent and foolish? Oh wait, I bet they can. They’ll still outdo themselves with their hypocritical buffoonery. Let’s watch, shall we?

Now, the second part of the question. What does it mean to be awake and aware in the context of what this world is trying to accomplish? This is a critical point to understand. The very first thing to establish here is that the whole playing field– or the battleground if you prefer– is in consciousness. Consciousness is the key to everything in this undertaking. Fortunately, every true human being on the planet has unrestricted access to their own consciousness, so we all possess the inherent tools for participation.

So what part of consciousness is undergoing transformation? Awareness. At the risk of delivering a spoiler I’ll point out that I’ve already dedicated an entire book to the exploration of awareness. In my second book, Butterfly Dreams: The Nectar of Transformation, the nectar of transformation is awareness. That is not only true now; it is true for the whole duration of the journey. As long as consciousness is required to expand– which is actually an act of reclamation, increasing awareness is the means to do it.

So how do we increase awareness? Is it the amassing of data? Of being aware of all the latest and greatest conspiracy theories? Unfortunately, many think that it is so. At best, this is but the tiniest fraction of what awareness means within the context of what we’re accomplishing. It’s difficult to define aspects of consciousness clearly. Our sciences have steadfastly shied away from serious explorations of anything much to do with consciousness. Our lexicon is lacking, verbally and conceptually. My own best “definition” of awareness strongly correlates awareness with one’s ability to work on oneself. By becoming more aware of our own consciousness, by learning to see through its patterns and habits, we gain the power and insight to transform our own consciousness. This again is one of those things that can’t be overstated. Developing a “witnessing” consciousness– a silent observer of our internal reality– is absolutely essential. In my opinion, that is precisely and very predominantly what meditation is for.

As soon as we see ourselves in the waking world as having achieved “wakefulness” or adequate awareness and now we’re just waiting for the rest of the external world to catch up before we can move on, that’s a sure sign that it’s actually time to turn evermore inward to find the subtle remaining blockages within ourselves. Yes, we can try to create dramas in the external world of manifestation to try and “unblock” others, but the actual unblocking can only be achieved internally. There is no other way. When you come up against an obstacle in the world of physicality, rest assured that it is a certain manifestation of a blockage within you… guaran-fucking-teed. The transformation is within consciousness– always. The external world is undeniably the reflection of consciousness– individual and collective. The quantum enigma has pointed to this irrefutable fact for more than eighty years. Take heed… but as a politically incorrect mystic once said “Just don’t bite the finger!”

And now just one more quick question. But don’t worry, I’ll write up another missive in the next few days. I promise (and this isn’t a “David Wilcock promise.”)

Q: Are you just making all of this up, or does this have some basis in reality?

A: Let me ask you: Are you just making up your life, or does it have some basis in reality? Do you see what I mean? And if you don’t, contemplate it awhile; there’s a crucial insight here.

But I hear ya. I get what you mean. The best I can do here is offer a few external sources, but actual verification can only come to you from within.

In the meantime, you might want to check out:

Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness by Rosenblum, Bruce and Kuttner, Fred
-for a general overview of scientific support for what I’m advocating here. Also:

The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events (A Seth Book) by Roberts, Jane and Butts, Robert F.
-for a general overview as expressed through channeling. I’ve always really enjoyed Seth’s explanations of these thorny topics.

And finally a more personal and individualistic approach can be well facilitated by:

You Are God. Get Over It! (expanded second edition) (The Bridge of Consciousness) by Waters, Story

If you can handle Story Waters’ very direct approach, this one may be of tremendous value to personal seekers. It speaks directly to your soul and may bypass your rational mind completely.

There, that’s the best I can offer in way of proof… for now.
