The Free Radical

Let’s begin with a song. I believe that if Mother Earth was given the opportunity to sing a song to us all, this is what she might sing. It’s called “Ludvig & Sverker” by the Swedish prog band Beardfish. This is the bonus track piano version from the 2012 album The Void, featuring Rikard Sjoblom, the keyboard player, singer and songwriter for the band.

Now on to business…

It would be good for us all to remember that the TOURS is a non-hierarchical, leaderless assemblage working toward a common goal. I am NOT the leader, despite the sometimes authoritative tone I employ in these missives. I’m just a mouthpiece, and sometimes I miss important parts of the message. And that’s why I’m glad you’re not hesitant to call me to task.

I have no special knowledge in these matters. I’m learning along with everyone else. My job is to remain aware, receptive and humble… and then to pass along what we’re learning here together.

What I would like to address today is a product of my tendency to over-masculinize my personal take on these briefings. Sometimes it takes a few words from just the right feminine “energies” to adequately school me in something critical I’ve missed. Yes, I’ve been schooled!

I’ve recently been reminded that we, here on Earth in physicality, do not create outcomes; we create access to outcomes. Now, what do I mean by that? When we set intentions, we’re taking aim at a particular outcome– a response from the intelligence of the universe. The specific response that we receive is directly reflective of the degree to which we are able to love. Love is the key to access– specifically, self love.

I know that some of you may be horrified that self love as opposed to altruistic love is the key to access. But deep down we all know that it’s true that you can only love another to the degree that you love yourself. Love has to come through you. That bears repeating: love has to come through you. If you’re blocking it within yourself because for whatever reason you feel unworthy, your access to positive/loving outcomes will be severely limited.

This was spelled out to me by the Witches of Old Brunswick. In speaking about our group projects as outlined in Message #5, I placed too much emphasis on procedures and techniques, forgetting altogether the most important factor: love. Focusing on procedure and technique is definitely a masculine trait, and love relies very little on such rationalities. I thank the ladies for straightening me out!

But that’s exactly how this is supposed to work. If you feel I’ve gotten something wrong or made a glaring omission, call me out on it. I make mistakes, plenty of them! But together we’re sure to have all the bases covered.

So in our group projects, evoking and augmenting love– for ourselves and our associates– is really the key to accessing the most favourable of outcomes. Love is a spectrum. At its lowest vibration, love expresses as fear and the need for protection. If we feel very insecure in this life, threatened, then the intelligence of the universe is obligated to provide outcomes to our intentions which validate our choice of experiencing fear… until such a time as we’re willing to face and overcome our fears. That is how the universe expresses the highest vibration of love– by matching the frequency level we ourselves are at.

So when I say that we are creating access, I mean that we are creating access to the level of blessing we’ve prepared ourselves for. Developing our capacity to love unfettered is the crux of everything we’re doing here. Sorry I momentarily missed it.

Now, how do we train ourselves to love ourselves? We’ve all been conditioned to think that self love is somehow misguided. But it is really only ego aggrandizement which leads us away from our goal. Telling yourself repeatedly that you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, that you’re god’s gift to the world, isn’t what we’re after at all. Love is experienced as a feeling, and it’s not conceited and arrogant– that’s mindstuff.

I’m going to assume that everyone reading these words here have felt at least once in their lives the sweet gentle kiss of love in their hearts. Recall that feeling… often. Feel it expand in your heart until it makes you want to weep with joy. Make feeling love in your own being the most indulgent habit you’ve ever fallen victim to. Let love be your secret addiction. Make yourself weep with joy. Slowly you will begin to notice that the outcomes to all of your intentions will become more loving… toward you and the whole world. It’s a simple practice, but probably the most profound.

And now there’s just one more little thing which I need to address. Some of the TOURS are so used to working alone in this lifetime that they find it nearly impossible to assemble into groups just yet. I can relate. Solitary work as outlined recently in an email from one member may serve to circumvent this obstacle.

“I was sitting in meditation with my eyes half open, focusing my everything on the little candle before me. The sun was setting and the room about me was becoming shadowed. The flame of the little candle danced to the rhythms of my breath; it was beautiful. Suddenly in an instant, I dissolved, and I was aware of myself as the candle flame. We were in communion.”

This is it precisely! This is exactly what we’re after: communion with each other and the world. That is unity consciousness. We can practice this alone in whatever settings we feel most comfortable. We can commune with objects, plants, animals, or even the whole planet herself. Love and beauty seem to be the keys to unlocking this sacred experience for ourselves. If for some reason group activity is prohibitive, seek communion instead as a means to practice oneness. Again, I’m glad to have been reminded of this possibility.

I hope this helps.

Before I get to the questions, there’s just a couple of brief items to address. First, the above artwork is courtesy of a web presence who goes by the name of Valiant. Intuitively, I feel that this visual prop can serve to augment the efforts of the TOURS. It is well geared toward energetic integration, especially mind-body synthesis. Use it as a tool if you feel so moved. (I consider it another “trigger.”)

Next, we have a brief message from Raven Nation. This has come through the dreamtime and is not from my daily walks in the woods (or else it would be presented in a Daily Forest Report; things ARE beginning to overlap, though). “Humans, evolve now, or get out of the way! We are the spokespersons for the Animal Nations Coalition, and you will not be permitted to continue with the destruction of the Living Earth.” Well, that’s pretty clear! Raven is very closely allied with Moose who represents the Divine Feminine on Earth. I think we’re looking at the sacred energy of a mother scorned. We don’t want to mess with that! Individually, you may wish to keep an eye out for Raven; I am always closely scrutinized on my forest walks. Perhaps you’ve already noticed the ravens and crows in your own area are particularly vocal right now… and their admonitions are definitely directed at us!

And now the questions…

Q: I visit a fair number of blogs on a daily basis and recently it seems as though more and more of the messages are intertwined or maybe feeding off of each other. Is this a deliberate thing?

A: Yes, and it’s occurring at two distinct levels. At the conscious level of our internet interactions, those of us who are working toward similar goals have been drawn to reading each other’s material. We are discovering a great deal of agreement. This is the mirror image of what is also occurring beneath the surface at the level of the collective. We’re actually meeting up in the dreamtime, having discussions, and then posting our individual takes on those discussions on our respective blogs. I’d say it’s all coming together rather nicely.

This next question follows from the above, and although it may not be familiar to all readers here, it deserves a brief response nevertheless.

Q: After tons of hype, Courtney Brown made his “big” announcement on March 15th. Weren’t you disappointed?

A: Yes, I certainly was… but not for the reason you suppose. Dr. Brown is the director for the Farsight Institute, dedicated to the exploration and establishment of remote viewing as a valid scientific methodology. During the weeks leading up to his grand announcement, Dr. Brown released a number of “Implications Postings.” From those postings it was very clear to me that he understood very well how worlds are changed; never from the top down, and always from the bottom up. At any given time, the leadership of a group reflects the basic collective belief of that group. If such leadership is left wanting, the problem must be addressed at the level of shared belief; to merely change the figurehead of the leadership will do nothing. Real change ALWAYS occurs at the grassroots level; that’s where the change in belief must be anchored; there can be no exceptions.

So as I awaited the official announcement, I had already deduced that it would entail a revelation pertaining to the wider acceptance of remote viewing– since that’s what Dr. Brown’s life is dedicated to. Establishing such a “fact” would grant humanity a very useful tool for dispelling propaganda and accessing information in a totally decentralized way. In my opinion, Courtney Brown delivered exactly what he promised. In that regard I was not disappointed.

What I was sorely disappointed with was the reaction of the “New Age” community. There are apparently so very many who think themselves highly evolved and “awakened” who are still awaiting the “magic pill” that’s going to transform this world in a fanciful moment. Any such top-down magic pill can only be employed as a deception. Remember, real change has to occur at the basic level of individuals adopting and energizing new beliefs; anything else is just a magic show. All of the “New-Agers” who are still waiting for that magic pill might as well be waiting for that proverbial flying unicorn named Jesus. There’s really no difference. It comes down to YOU doing the work as an individual; stop looking for someone else to do it for you!

And this next question follows directly from that one…

Q: For a couple of years already we’ve been hearing about something referred to as The Event. There’s a lot of information on the net about many aspects of The Event; what’s your take on it?

A: Honestly, a couple of years ago I was pretty sucked into The Event scenario. I was stuck in a limbo consciousness of waiting… any day now… any day it’s all going to change…

Whether “The Event” ever happens is not at all my concern. I don’t know specifically how to bring such a thing about. I do know how to bring about a series of small transformational moments however… for myself, and for others willing to entertain my methods… or perhaps my madness.

If the cumulative effect of all our little transformations can bring about a catalyzing event upon the world stage, I’m all for it. How such an event might manifest, I’m not really qualified to say, and as the questioner already pointed out, there’s plenty of material out there espousing exactly such speculation. It is my hope that The Event might be something like the “religious” experience I described in the last Q & A session, where everyone may experience, roughly simultaneously, a moment where we all feel undeniably connected to everything– a oneness moment, if you will. I have every confidence that the intelligence of the universe is such that such a psychedelic experience can be achieved without the complications and side-effects attendant with hallucinogenic substances. May we all have a beautiful “trip” through The Event! Bring it on!

Q: How can you recommend channeled material to support this effort when you’ve disparaged such material in the past?

A: The recommendation to which the questioner is referring is the Seth Book, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, as channelled by Jane Roberts. Truthfully, I heartily recommend all of the Seth Books. My disparagement of some of the other channelled material out there is based in its superficiality.

There’s a few things I look for in the daily and weekly channelled material which proliferates on the web nowadays when I make summary judgments. Any material which even suggests that ETs are coming to save us from ourselves is propaganda. Similarly, any messages telling us of esoteric methods and procedures that are secret and usually complicated, describing a larger “Objective” reality– of this is how it is– and you need to learn these special visualizations and meditations… they’re not for me. Evolution isn’t ever about who you know with their special knowledge and methods which only get doled out to a select few. The God who dwells in me would never set it up that way! And lastly, any channelled material which disparages, undermines, or dismisses our Earthly experiences here in the “illusion” is simply grossly misinformed. Although we have struggled mightily in this realm, it was NOT all just a waste of time. What we have achieved here is utterly monumental and we deserve congratulations, not offhanded dismissal of our “mistake.”

Compare the Seth material. It is extremely intelligent, consistent and artfully presented. The insights which Seth has stylishly presented over thousands of pages of material is simply stunning and more than impressive. In my opinion, it is unimpeachable. (Mmm… I love peaches!)

Messages should never be judged on the credentials of the messenger. That includes everything I write too. I beg of thee, do not believe a word I say just because it comes from me and you’ve decided for some misguided reason to trust me implicitly. I make mistakes, lots of them. But we all just have to be willing to learn and to develop our own barometers of truth along the way. Learn to recognize when propaganda is taking your power away, and when a real teacher is providing tools for your own reclamation of power and subsequent transformation. It’s actually not that hard with practice.

Q: On a recent Facebook post you commented about a double-slit experiment. I didn’t understand what the original post was about, nor did I understand your “explanation.” You seem to disagree though with “Victory of the Light!” Do you?

A: It doesn’t matter whether readers here ever saw the Facebook post in question or not. There is something fundamental here which needs to be addressed.

The original post, by a friend of mine, was merely advising caution with the phrase “Victory of the light!” He was making reference to Lucifer who is known as the Light(bearer). These types of personages do exist, whether as archetypal constructs or as true ensouled entities, I cannot say… so the warning is valid.

I added to that the description of the classic physics experiment for demonstrating the wave properties of light. It’s called the Double-Slit Experiment. The point I was trying to make is that even when a single source of light is filtered through two slits (duality) what results is an interference pattern consisting of alternating bands of light and dark upon a screen. The crucial thing to understand here is that the darkness is created solely with light. The dark bands occur where the trough of one wave meets the crest of the other and they cancel each other out. That’s called destructive interference. Metaphysically, the implication of this is that even when there’s only one true source of light, when it’s viewed through a dualistic filter, darkness will be created. Currently, our minds are just such a dualistic filter. Light alone is not the absolute answer for darkness. “Victory of the light!” is way too simplistic.

Our answers will never lie in choosing one polarity over another. Our task is rather to establish and maintain a position which is called the sacred neutral. We accept the right of each polarity to exist, for in truth, polarities cannot exist in isolation; one always implies the other; the relationship between them cannot be obliterated; it can be obscured or hidden though. Stop falling for this choosing of one thing over another. All that exists has the right to exist; it is all part of the One. Reintegration is simply not possible if we’re forever seeking to eradicate those aspects we find distasteful. Even in the sacred neutral we are allowed our preferences in terms of what we wish to experience, but we are not permitted to utterly destroy what we don’t like and deprive all others from choosing what they prefer to experience.

So, on that note… “Victory of the sacred neutral!”

That is all.
