The Free Radical

Since about mid-February we’ve been in “The Squeeze.” At the level of the collective, the forces opposing humanity’s bid for freedom have been doing everything possible to suppress our realization of freedom’s true potential. “They” put the lid on us and tried everything to keep us down… and for the past six weeks we were kind of stuck. There was enough movement subconsciously to forego any need for drastic moves on our part, but we just couldn’t muster the wherewithal to manifest any “large” events on the world stage. Now that has changed.

The really good news is that those opposing the efforts toward freedom took their best shot; they expended their repertoire of dirty tricks… and failed. Yesterday, March 29th, there was significant movement. The collective jiggled and jostled and gained a bit of elbow room. Now it’s our turn.

Today is the New Moon of the astrological new year (March 30, 2014). Today and tomorrow and even into the first half of the Day of Fools it’s time to set our intentions for the next month and the next year. But before you jump right in, please allow me to encourage everyone to first dream big. Go for the whole fucking enchilada! The Earth, the Sun and the Moon are all fully behind our bid for emancipation. The opposing forces have already spent themselves in a failed effort. There’s really nothing to prevent our complete success at this time other than our own conditioned fears.

“Seismic undertakings reveal the unlimited aspects of Higher Self.” This statement comes from perhaps the net’s most cryptic blog, EirePort. What do you suppose they mean by seismic undertakings? Yeah, that’s us, working deep in the collective consciousness in the dreamtime. Have you begun to feel the unlimited aspects of your Higher Self? For simplicity’s sake we can equate the Higher Self with our dreamtime doubles. The consensus among the TOURS is that we’re ready to begin to make some bold moves… although still primarily at the level of deep dreaming.

Our dreaming doubles (Higher Selves) are always in collective communication. A great deal of dreaming at the deeper levels is through shared consciousness. This is NOT however true unity consciousness… and here’s why. Our dreaming doubles’ first loyalty is to our waking selves. They (who are actually us) cannot enter into true unity consciousness without our consent and participation at the level of beta consciousness in physicality. Your dreaming double wishes to connect with you; it’s always been that way, but now it’s slightly more imperative. Generally speaking, it’s integration time.

For now it will suffice if each of us begins by granting consent for our dreaming doubles to connect with us. There have always been subtle inroads and tenuous bridges between our waking selves and our dreaming doubles. As these connections strengthen and we are drawn together toward wholeness, what often happens in dreaming is that we have dreams where we are not ourselves. We take on other identities. Quite a few of the TOURS have already noticed this phenomenon. Of course you still dream in the “first person,” experiencing the sequence of events subjectively, but strangely you are not your familiar identity from waking life; you are someone else– a stranger… and yet not a stranger at all.

You have many many “faces” to reintegrate in the quest for wholeness. You have inhabited many personas. Your dreaming double is all of these. You will become reacquainted with each of them from the inside out. You will get to know these familiar strangers… and slowly accept them as yourselves. The first step in true unity consciousness is to discover the richness and depth of your multifaceted wholeness. First you become one; then, eventually, we all become one… but that’s still a ways off.

Beginning now, lend your consent and energize your intent upon retiring to bed– or even before a nap– to experience yourself in all of your guises… and accept the gathering energy thrumming in your heart as we all proceed with this reintegration. Trust your dreaming double; it is wise beyond measure; it will not lead you astray.

And by all means, continue with your efforts to practice unity within the waking world in your select groups.

Set your intentions for this year of total transformation. Set your expectations high. There is literally nothing we can’t do!

Firstly, yes I do edit the questions for clarity and brevity. However, I still appreciate the lengthy explanations so that I know exactly how the questions are intended. Also, I do consider this to be very important– the answering of questions– because nothing is more important than everyone’s better understanding; that’s how worlds are changed, after all.

Q: How do we change human nature? Your whole approach seems terribly naive!

A: This question begins in misconception. The assumption is that humans are flawed creatures; we are careless, greedy, manipulative and conniving; that’s just how we are by nature. Um… bullshit!

Last year I spent some considerable time exploring the work of Daniel Quinn, author of the rather famous novel Ishmael and its sequels. Quinn’s main character, Ishmael, a 500-pound telepathic gorilla, makes a very compelling case that human nature cannot be accurately judged based on the last ten-thousand years of our history. What occurred at that time was the agricultural revolution which marks the beginning of history and our current form of “civilization.”

Our type of agriculture is totalitarian and genocidal in nature. Farmland utterly disregards Nature’s wishes and efforts; a potential farmer comes into an area and effectively says “I don’t give a flying fuck what Nature has been doing with this land for millions of years; I’m going to eradicate everything natural here and plant my preferred monocultures instead.” That attitude is ultimately what our current form of civilization is based upon. Then, as tribal peoples were confronted with the expansion of our totalitarian ways, they were either mercilessly assimilated or exterminated… in all cases.

The other side of the coin, the side laying exposed in prehistory, shows a very different attitude, a very different animal. Humans have been around for approximately three million years, so ten-thousand years is but the tiniest fraction of time on which to base our judgments. The anthropological consensus depicts tribal humans as primarily loving, cooperative, wise and balanced. If you throw a bunch of rats in a cage and restrict their access to the basic necessities of life– holding all of the food and other resources under lock and key– the situation is going to bring out the very worst in their natures. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing for the last ten-thousand years in this stupid rat race.

We don’t need to change human nature; there’s nothing wrong with human nature. We need to shed our limiting and aggressive belief systems (BS) in order to allow our true natures to re-emerge.

Q: Whatever you might be trying to explain, you tend to frame it or at least attempt to support it with your own experience. Most recently you’ve invoked a framework involving quantum physics. What is your experience, if any, with quantum physics?

I’m going to kind of combine this question with the next one too.

Q: How do you stay positive?

A: I’ve been fortunate… and daring… or perhaps a bit of both. There have been some very unique experiences in my life which I believe directly support a “quantum view” of reality. I have found them to be rather convincing.

The first such incident is something I wrote about long ago in a piece called A Religious Experience Courtesy of My Friend the Mushroom. The experience therein described is actually a fairly common one among sensitive seekers; it is the experience of oneness. Our typical mode of consciousness is geared, at its most basic level, to view the world as a collection of separate objects, and especially separating ourselves from the environment we inhabit. That moment of oneness which I was fortunate enough to experience turned that view around 180 degrees. It simply cannot be overstated how profound such a shift in perspective is once it’s actually experienced, felt and understood.

Now, what does that have to do with quantum physics? What Einstein referred to as “spooky action at a distance” describes the entanglement of quantum particles. Briefly, entangled particles react to each other instantaneously no matter the distance separating them– which violates the speed of light limit for how quickly information can travel through space.

If you tug on one end of a very long rope stretched out lengthwise, how long does it take the far end of the rope to respond to your tug? It occurs instantaneously; it takes no time at all because the rope is one continuous thing. Entangled particles too are part of one continuous thing: consciousness, or if you prefer, the field. Consciousness does not exist in time and space. Time and space exist within consciousness. It doesn’t make sense to ask the question: How long does it take a thought to travel from one side of your mind to the other? The thought is everywhere at once in consciousness.

The shift in perspective that I was lucky enough to experience was a shift from viewing the world of matter, energy, space and time (the objective universe) as having an independent existence of their own separate from my perceiving consciousness to the instantaneous realization that consciousness itself was the continuous backdrop upon which all experience gets played out. I have to say that any description offered here is a very poor substitute for the actual experience itself. (But read the story anyway.)

The next aspect of quantum mechanics which I’ve been fortunate to encounter is the concept of objects being in a state of superposition. Essentially this means that a particle can be literally in two places or states at one time, or bi-located. In previous Newsletters I’ve also written about my experiences of being in two places at once. This somewhat uncomfortable experience was the result of smoking 5MEO-DMT, an incredibly powerful hallucinogen. All I can say about this is that our language is wholly inadequate for describing the sensation and direct experience of being in two places at once. It’s a little disorienting to say the least. DMT can place humans in a superpositional state… and it’s really quite something!

Having actually had these experiences is a far cry from merely acknowledging the possibility intellectually. I wanted to have these experiences because experience is really the only compelling thing when it comes to shifting our world view. So how do I stay positive– in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary? I fall back upon these experiences, knowing that I know there’s a far richer perspective to which we do have access.

There’s also another aspect to keeping positive that I need to mention… and it also ties in with the previous question. Long ago I realized that there is a basic dichotomy to the world of my experience. There is the man-made manufactured world of modern civilization, and then there is the larger natural world of pristine wilderness in which our civilization is couched. I prefer to view pristine Nature as the “real” world, the lasting world, the world of balance and wisdom. Without my constant contact with and immersion in Nature’s wildness, I would not be nearly so positive. I literally cannot go for more than just a few days without going for a three-hour hike in the woods, or else I go completely batty and get downright depressed.

I sense that far too many in the “lightworker” community are utterly entranced and transfixed by the civilized world and all of its flaws. Our current civilization is a temporary thing; Nature is not. My heart aches for all of my “starseed” friends who refer to Earth as a total hellhole. Yes, the man-made matrix reality is an unsustainable piece of shit, but personally, I absolutely love this Earth and my experience of it because my total focus is on what’s real… and not on what’s passing. My advice: Connect with that which is eternal and beautiful… and leave the rest to die an ignominious death.

Oh, and just one thing more: You can’t use “ascension” as a means of escape; it doesn’t work that way. You can elaborate that nugget through your own contemplations… but it’s perfectly true.

Q: You have emphatically stated that scientific materialism is dead, and yet you yourself have offered a plethora of health advice which can only be placed squarely within scientific materialism– i.e. specific nutritional advice. How is this NOT a contradiction?

A: Good call! And good question.

Although the quantum enigma unambiguously informs us that the objective universe does not exist independently from our perceiving consciousness, our experience is such that it does. We experience an objective reality because of the agreements we hold within the collective– the Holy Ghost (remember the Holy Ghost?)– because that’s the way we set it up for ourselves. We created this perception of separation just so that we could explore that type of experience. Objectively, it’s not real… but we still perceive it as such… and so we are well-advised to treat it as real– this separation.

Within the collective consciousness of Earth we have what I have previously referred to as “default settings.” These are things like: french fries make you fat; smoking causes cancer; spirulina is good for you; vitamin D is the foundation of healthy immunity… etc. None of these things is absolutely objectively true. They will be experienced individually as the objective truth as long as we don’t have sincerely held beliefs to the contrary. Our individual beliefs are able to “override” the default settings of the collective as long as we truly believe them, and especially if our contrary beliefs lead to greater growth potential. Remember that the collective is skewed toward assembling events which tend to augment the greater good.

So, when I give health advice which seems objectively based, I am pointing out the discovery of the default settings in these specific instances. Sometimes it’s much easier to just take a vitamin D supplement and a spoonful of spirulina every day than it is to genuinely change your beliefs about health without such supporting props and levers. If you can honestly convince yourself that you’re superman and that you can live on nothing more than sunshine and love, then go for it. There is nothing objectively blocking your success in this regard… but it still tends to be a rather difficult thing to do.

I hope that’s clear. (I’ll be sure to hear about it if it’s not!)

Q: You say it’s all about consciousness– or specifically, awareness. But how do you measure consciousness? How can you know if you’re making progress?

A: The expansion of consciousness is accompanied by the expansion of choice. A very limited and closed consciousness will experience very little choice in life. It makes continual excuses: “This is the way it’s always been; this is the way it has to be. Some things never change, so don’t bother trying. There’s only ever one right way…”

As consciousness expands, however, new possibilities come into focus. A growing awareness perceives increased potential. As you take steps to expand your mind, you can’t help but to create new possibilities for new kinds of experiences. It’s pretty much that simple.

Again, I think I’ll leave it there for today. There are still a few more questions… and I’ll get to them shortly.

Tomorrow, March 30th, is the first New Moon of the new astrological year. It is the time to ask our dreaming doubles to enter into true unity consciousness at the level of the collective. Simply intend that it be so upon retiring to bed… and soon enough we’ll see what happens.

There will be another report in a couple of days.

Something’s got to give; we can feel it.

There’s a great deal of tension just beneath the surface, and you don’t need to be particularly sensitive in order to feel confident that something of significance is brewing. At the level of the collective consciousness of humanity there is a stark division. On the one side of the lines of tension are all those who are yearning– and have been yearning for a long time now– for a catalyzing positive event to manifest upon the world stage which may serve as a turning point in our dark history. Tugging from the other side of the various lines of tension are the traditional players whose agenda is manipulation and control. As they begin to lose their grip– and their minds– they are still striving equally for a catalyzing negative event in order to plunge all of humanity back into the old familiar fear. I suppose I should mention too a third faction, those who are in the majority; although they feel the very same tension, they are unaware of its source or its probable resolution. They feel disturbed at a deep level and are profoundly confused.

Even among those who have definite ideas about “what’s really going on” there persists yet a great deal of confusion. The dynamics of the collective consciousness are frankly rather overwhelming… and this confusion is to be expected. I’ll take this opportunity therefore to answer some more questions.

Before I do however, allow me to present the following analogy in order to convey a general basis for understanding. This actually comes in answer to a rather bizarre question I recently received. After a great deal of mostly incoherent rambling, the question boiled down to this: According to your philosophy, who are the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? In the world we currently inhabit the Law of Threes is certainly pertinent, so here’s how I see it.

As Einstein once said “The field is everything.” Therefore, the field is God… or the Father. What is the field? It is the all-pervasive quantum field of all possibility from which all physical manifestation springs and eventually returns. The field is equally everywhere and literally nowhere. We, as individual human beings, represent the Son– and, of course, the Daughter. These bodies we utilize in order to locate ourselves within time and space arise from the field; we are offspring. We, the Father and the Son, are reflections of each other. The reflecting surface, the mirror, the looking glass– remember Alice went THROUGH the looking glass– is the Holy Ghost. The collective consciousness of Earth– which includes every life-form who has ever or will ever participate in this world’s reality– is the Holy Ghost.

So on the one side we find ourselves, desperately trying to make sense of an obscure big picture. We are actually ultimately one with our reflection– God, the field– on the other side. We ARE God, but as we’re in the thick of experiencing ourselves, Earth’s collective consciousness mediates and distorts our view of our creatorship, our godselves… in order to present a consistent experience of the world (the consensus) for all who are participating in this Earth experience. The mirror, the Holy Ghost, is the repository of our collective agreements for creating a consensus which is nothing more than a shared dream. Our seeming objective experience of Earth reality is this shared dream.

You can’t get to your godself without going through the collective… and by “going through” I mean changing your relationship with the collective consciousness of all of Earth’s inhabitants. In the refinement of your personal relationship with the collective, you essentially begin to polish the mirror, to reflect back less and less distortion as you learn about your ultimate creatorship.

In presenting this three-part image I hope that the answers to the following questions can be made clear by referring back to the analogy given.

Q: I’m confused. I thought we’re all trying to come together in unity, but so far you’ve been talking about breaking up factions and creating MORE division. What gives?

A: Unity consciousness is our natural state of being. Our existence outside of the Earth reality is hardly individualistic. We are used to being in constant communion and rapport with our surroundings and fellow travellers. The Earth experience, however, was DESIGNED (by us) for individuation.

During the long and painful process of individuation, each of us amasses beliefs. All belief springs from fear. They are limitations which we freely choose to impose upon ourselves when we deem a portion of reality to be unsafe or fear-inducing. Beliefs keep us contained within the boundaries of our perceived fears.

Within the collective consciousness– which is the basis for our experience of the world (the consensus)– we are automatically grouped according to the beliefs we inhabit. The whole mass of humanity is divided into numberless factions along the lines of individual belief… until such a time as the process of individuation begins to move each of us beyond fear and the necessity for those limiting beliefs. We are at that time now.

Historically, group or mass events have been “assembled” within the collective according to these amassed beliefs. Our individual experiences within the general framework of belief (fear) has now been exhausted. It is time now to break apart those limitations in order to complete the process of individuation… so that each of us has the unfettered opportunity to realize our unique creatorship– our godselves– by freely redefining our unique relationship with the whole collective.

Once reacquainted with our godselves, we will naturally enter into unity consciousness with the creative partners who share our preferred goals of creatorship.

Q: Realistically, what are the odds of us achieving unity consciousness anytime soon as opposed to falling back into catastrophic fear instead?

A: As I already stated above, unity consciousness is our natural state. Our state of fear is temporary; it was designed to be temporary, as a unique opportunity for exploration. The majority of humanity already feels strongly at an intuitive level that our exploration of fear-based belief has reached its natural end. We’ve literally exhausted the kinds of experiences to be had in this framework. We deeply feel that it is time to move on.

Having said that, it is highly improbable that we would now collectively or individually choose to move back into that arena merely because it is familiar. Despite our often timid human natures, we are all intrepid explorers at heart. I’m confident that we will choose now to move on to greater adventures– though this one’s certainly been a blasty-blast!

I will also point out that it is the natural inclination of the collective consciousness as a whole to skew events toward growth. The universe at large is supportive of life and growth processes. All antagonism is individually based, coming from severely limited perspectives. Antagonism and strife are finite and really quite limited; love and support are infinite. It really is as simple as that.

There are still quite a few more questions which I will continue to address in the coming days. But this is enough for now. Happy grokking!

Crunch time is coming. Today is March 22. In eight days the first New Moon of the astrological new year will kick off a brand new round of intentions in the ongoing Year of Transformation. And before I receive the inevitable question: Why does this astrological stuff even matter?… let me briefly explain it this way. We don’t HAVE to pay attention to astrology; ultimately, it doesn’t matter. But for the time being, the “astrological clockwork” is part of what I refer to as the “default settings” held within the collective consciousness. If we work in alignment with those “default settings” it just makes it that much easier. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to do things the easy way whenever possible.

On the eve of March 30th, we will collectively set the intention in the dreamtime to come together in full unity. It will be a beginning… involving at first only our dreaming doubles. As such, I anticipate little difficulty; we’ve done this many times before. The perceived problem that will arise however is that such a unity will likely not be remembered by our waking selves in physicality. The majority of us won’t even know whether any dreamtime connections have been made at all. For a time, just grant the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, this is all still a week away… and we’re still in the process of just assembling the TOURS for now… kinda like taking attendance or roll call.

Today’s instruction is for our ego-directed waking selves. And here, let me point out once again that this is NOT merely for those who identify with the TOURS. This is for everybody; please feel free to participate regardless. We never seek to be exclusionary.

It is the time for us to make our first forays into united effort. I’m not using the term “unity consciousness” for our ego-driven selves at this point because it simply won’t happen– which is not to say that it can’t. But our whole orientation in physicality is still largely in the opposite direction of unity, so achieving the “special perception” that goes along with unity consciousness is just very unlikely at this time. We need to practice and to make consistent efforts to reorient ourselves to a whole new way of being and doing. We need to get playfully experimental.

I’ll happily assume that the majority of readers here are at least somewhat familiar with meditation. I’ll go a step further in this belief that many or most have even participated in group meditations– even if only those organized through the internet. This is along those lines. It’s time to work together… in earnest. So here’s what I’m proposing:

Let us assemble into groups in the waking world. Our groups can be of any size; even as small as two is fine, and up to 150 is also fine, but I’m not expecting such large groupings… yet. Choose people you’d be comfortable working with on “spiritual endeavours.” What do I mean by spiritual endeavours? Damn near whatever you want it to mean. The key is to choose an intention. Let it be something you and your partners equally desire. A few examples would be along the lines of say… clearing a pocket of negative energy in your immediate neighbourhood… or manifesting the resources for a new adventure in doing… or creating a bubble of positive/loving energy in the local mall and observing people’s encounters with it. Whatever you can think of that you’d like accomplished in the “real” world that may serve as an experiment. “Can we do this? Can we pull this off?” It’s time to find out.

Once you’ve selected an agreed-upon goal, next design a procedure, ritual, meditation, visualization, or a work of art, or anything else you can think of that holds meaning for all members of your group. Yes, make it up! Certainly, you may use traditional tools like crystals, candles, tarot cards, aroma therapy oils, flower remedies, or any other damn thing you please… just try to use these items in a new way. Engage your creativity… your imaginations. We’re trying to learn about our creatorship in a group setting. Whatever procedure your group settles upon should simply be a meaningful way of expressing the desired intent to the universe at large, giving it as much force as your symbols and paraphernalia can muster. There are no wrong procedures. This is an experiment. We’re looking for constructive feedback in order to refine such procedures the next time around. Hopefully, there will be many many next times around.

A few guidelines to keep in mind: Allow each member of the group to contribute to the project in individualistic ways. Don’t force group members to do things they’re totally unfamiliar or uncomfortable with. This is not about selecting a group leader who’s going to delegate responsibilities according to his own master plan. It’s about asking what each member is comfortable contributing… and going with that. Nothing here needs to fit into any pre-designed structures. We’re building anew… and finding out what works in the process. There is no requirement for complexity; let it be as simplistic as possible while still being meaningful to the whole group.

So in summary, you are to select a (positive) intention. Through ritual, art or meditation, etc., express that intention to the universe at large. Consciously release your own energy into the group endeavour. And watch for results and other feedback. Have fun with it.

Group work like this follows the Rule of Squares. This means that the power behind the group intention is multiplied by the square of the number of members in the group. So for instance, working by yourself you wield the power of the square of one which is one. Working in a group of two suddenly yields four times the power (the square of two). In terms of ratios, that’s the greatest difference– moving from just one to two yields a fourfold increase. If you have five members in your group working on the same intention, you collectively wield 25 times the force. You can begin to see the power of unity! If, down the road, say a million people take on a collective intent together, that group of one million working in concert would have the effectiveness of one trillion working alone (one million times one million is one trillion). So just one million– which is approximately one-seven-thousandth (1/7,000) of the planet’s population– working consciously together has the equivalent effectiveness of 150 times the planet’s entire population working their intents by themselves!

The whole point of this exercise is to prove to ourselves– our physical waking ego-driven selves– the tremendous power of unity consciousness… and this isn’t even true unity consciousness yet. That’s a slightly more intimate animal with a whole host of abilities and perceptions that go along with it. We need this opportunity to prepare ourselves, to prove to ourselves, that ANYTHING we wish to create is in fact possible. But remember to have fun with this dammit! You’re not expected to yield spectacular results straight away– although some of you undoubtedly will.

And now, briefly, I’ll anticipate one of your inevitable and rather astute questions, that being: Won’t the “bad guys” or the “cabal” just use exactly the same procedure outlined here to reinforce their ill intentions? Undoubtedly they will try. What has changed however is what the collective consciousness of humanity will allow. The collective does not allow us to move backwards in evolution. As far as all of those ill-intents go, we’ve already done them to death; there’s nothing more for us to explore within that frame of experience. The collective is supporting the new with a view to expansiveness and increased freedom. The energy is simply not available anymore for the same-old same-old. Those are the structures we’ve been working so hard to break down up to this point. (And I will return shortly to answering more questions in the next missive in a couple of days… so don’t panic.)

So, start simple, choosing goals or intentions which all members agree are achievable. We want to build confidence and technique. (Caution: instances of telepathy may occur; don’t freak out!) Eventually we will get used to the idea of unity consciousness so that our waking selves will yearn to unite with our dreaming doubles– who will very soon be in true unity. When our inner worlds seamlessly begin to blend with our external realities in a way that is fully open to our perceptions, true Oneness begins… and then all bets are off as to how awesome things can be…
