The Daily Forest Report Spring Equinox, 2014 The Forensic Archeologist Strikes Again!

by nielskunze on March 20, 2014

It began a couple of days ago. Richard, the turkey vulture, silently glided above our heads, showing himself for just a moment. It was a gentle reminder of the New Vision he had helped to facilitate and hold in place for most of the summer season last year. Now he’s back to oversee– in an executive manner– the installation of that new program, the New Vision.

The next day, in much the same place, Sitka veered off the central path to investigate some tantalizing smells. She was gone for a couple of minutes, but she came back promptly when I whistled… with a trophy…

Screen Shot 2014-03-19 at 6.36.48 PM

Yes, it was a piece of hide (deer? elk?) with a bit of juicy pink flesh still attached. Sitka liked it very much! At first she tried eating it, but the bristly hairs weren’t particularly palatable, and she abandoned that idea. Next, she tried numerous times to roll in it, to acquire its special aroma around her head and neck region. (For those who may not know, predators– like canines– often roll in strong-smelling things particularly if they smell like their typical prey… in order to mask their own scent during the hunt. It’s instinctual.)

Most often, predators choose to roll in the poop of their prey animals. Fortunately, Sitka has not tried that procedure yet; no, she still much prefers eating deer and elk poop instead. “Sitka! Don’t eat poop!” I’m like a broken record! After several rolls, I eventually picked up the chunk of nastiness and gave it a good sniff. Yup, definitely a bit funky! To me it doesn’t make much sense to try and disguise your own scent with the stench of the rotting flesh of your preferred prey… I mean, unless you’re thinking that the other deer are curious enough to welcome a zombie-deer back into their midst. “Hey, isn’t that Steve? Could’ve sworn he got killed a couple days back. He seems a dreadful sight! Wonder what he wants now? Oops! That’s a dog! Run!” Could work, I guess.

Look at the size of dem bones!

Screen Shot 2014-03-19 at 5.57.07 PM

I think my little forensic archeologist is finding the remains of dinosaurs out there. With all that she’s gathered I’m pretty sure we can assemble a stegosaurus or two by now! Look for the exhibition this summer.

Okay, seriously… I’m rather surprised with the sheer volume of dead things scattered about out there. I always wondered what the very first insects of spring ate. Answer: the rotting remains of winter’s carnage. It’s everywhere!

I have to admit that it contrasts nicely with the bursting of spring on the scene… lovely new shoots and greenery versus bones with lumps of rotting meat… all part of a balanced breakfast. Aye, there’s the rub; it’s about balance; equinoxes are about balance. Did I mention balance?

Right. As long as we’re not endlessly scrambling to catch up from yesterday or scurrying into tomorrow, we can stay at the place of the fulcrum… where leverage (action) in either direction is easy. The Now is the only moment where anything ever occurs; yesterday and tomorrow are purely speculative– convenient fictions to appease an outmoded version of time: linearity. And as such, all opportunities only exist in the Now. You have to be present with them in order to perceive them… and many of them are brand new and largely unrecognizable. It’s as though the New Opportunities have rolled in poop… and Now are stalking the New Vision. It’s true; just ask Richard.

Message To/From the TOURS #4 The March Meetup (Team Of United Renegade Sovereigns)

by nielskunze on March 19, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-03-19 at 8.41.46 AM

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.

The Daily Forest Report March 18, 2014 Some Chilling Effects

by nielskunze on March 18, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-03-18 at 9.22.09 AM

The mountains are right there! I couldn’t see a thing from the lookout. These morning squalls are to be expected. We get mercilessly thrown back into winter, and by the same evening it’s gloriously spring again. That’s March.

Screen Shot 2014-03-18 at 9.22.57 AM

I already made the switch a couple of days ago back to my Vibrams. It sure is a relief to ditch my big clunky Sorels– which were absolutely necessary for trudging through the foot and a half of snow on the path this winter. It’s so much better to be able to feel all the minute contours of the ground beneath my feet, and to have the option of gripping the forest turf with my toes again.

Isn’t it a bit cold? If I’m just standing around, yes. But walking in Vibrams necessarily increases the circulation to all parts of my feet. And then there’s the little “trick” I do with my breath, sending warm energy into my feet through conscious/directed breathing. I’ve written about this numerous times before, so I won’t repeat the procedure again. I’ve been doing it so long now that it has become second nature to simply direct warmth to any part of my body requiring it; I don’t even think about it much; I just automatically do it.

There was a recent headline in my inbox last week… something to the effect of “Vibrams Will Ruin Your Feet and Posture.” I didn’t look into it. Whatever the “expert du jour” might have to say on the matter, my own experience trumps his/her “expertise.” I’ve been in Vibrams for more than 5 years now. I wear them more than any other shoes I own. When I’m at home, I’m almost always barefoot– even when it’s -30C outside. My naked feet policy has healed my feet, fixed my posture, eliminated back pain, straightened my hips, and facilitated the final healing of my ACL tear in my left knee (I elected to forego the reconstructive surgery). I suppose if one were to wear Vibrams only very occasionally, they could cause alignment problems as the body has to adjust accordingly to one’s footwear. For me, they are my default choice. Everything seemed a little out of whack as I was “forced” to wear my big white boots for the winterish months.

I realize that this isn’t panning out as a typical Forest Report. Additionally, I had intended to post a few more missives on the blog in recent days– especially new messages to the TOURS (Team Of United Renegade Sovereigns), as the questions are really piling up! Yesterday I got massively distracted by a little bit of unexpected bigotry that couldn’t be ignored. So in the next few days I will make an effort to update things here. There is so much going on right now it’s nearly impossible to keep up.

Thanks for checking in.

The Daily Forest Report March 15, 2014 Pesky Details

by nielskunze on March 15, 2014

Caesar, beware the Ides of March!

Screen Shot 2014-03-15 at 9.29.27 AM

I’m pretty sure that this mouse was named Caesar. Um, he didn’t make it.

In wide open fields of mixed grass and snow you might wonder how we could find one little frozen mouse. Well, that’s all the work of my resident forensic archeologist, Sitka. Her accomplishments are made even more remarkable by the fact that she cruises around these fields at an average speed of 62 miles per hour. (Statements appearing on this blog may be grossly exaggerated.)

Mouse is all about paying attention to details. After all, the devil’s in the details, you know. Clearly, this mouse was paying attention to the wrong details. Pesky details!

Screen Shot 2014-03-15 at 9.31.15 AM

Here we have the newest green shoots down beneath the dead grass from yesteryear poking out from the broken ice. The new cannot wait any longer. So what if the ground is still frozen solid! Spring is springing.

Right now it’s easy to view the world through the same old filters we’ve always used… and the world seems pretty much the same– same corrupt nonsense as ever there was before. But, as has always been the case, each of us has a choice– in perpetuity– as to where we elect to place our attention.

Are you looking for signs of new opportunities and the blossoming of long held dreams? Or are you still trying to confirm an entrenched cynicism about how some things never change? It is reality’s job to confirm your beliefs to the greatest degree allowed by the agreements of our collective consciousness. “The prover proves what the thinker thinks.”

Seek and ye shall find. What shall you find? That all depends on what you’re looking for. Look for the signs of your heart’s content… and you will be lead down the garden path to your fulfilment. It’s all there– the signs– in the details… but you have to look.

Music Explores, Shapes and Defines Breathing Space in Consciousness

by nielskunze on March 14, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-03-14 at 11.48.16 AM


(The Dog Breath Variations from the 1969 album Uncle Meat by Frank Zappa)

Complex patterns of frequency featuring polyrhythms and melodic harmonies… Is it music? Or brainwaves? Or analogs of both? Simple music tends to make its appeal through emotional avenues, while the more complex petitions the intellect. The somatic response is evoked by both, but the body is challenged to find varied and exotic movements to fully indulge in the most complex.

Today’s explorations will lean toward jazz. Some jazz, when it’s trying to be too experimental, tends to lose the plot entirely. Consciousness needs a hook in order to willingly follow. These presentations possess ample meat hooks with which to drag our brains into the once virgin territory that was mapped back in the early seventies. We’re going to focus on two artists only.


(Tell Me a Bedtime Story from the 1970 album Fat Albert Rotunda by Herbie Hancock)

The Controllers and the covert Social Engineers may have fomented the revolution of the sixties, but by the early seventies it was clear that things had gotten a little out of hand. Their controlled opposition was totally out of control! The unbounded creativity of freshly-liberated humans was far more than any bureaucrat might’ve predicted.


(Twenty Small Cigars from the 1970 album Chunga’s Revenge by Frank Zappa)

In just the years from 1969 until 1972 for instance, Frank Zappa released seven albums of some of his most musically innovative work. (He would go on to produce 68 albums before succumbing to cancer at the tender age of 53.) The hounds of creativity had been unleashed and they were sniffing out every niche, wrinkle and fold in society’s crossed-legged crotch.


(Wiggle-Waggle from the 1970 album Fat Albert Rotunda by Herbie Hancock)

Meanwhile, Herbie Hancock was writing music for Bill Cosby’s Fat Albert cartoon show. The caliber of the music was a little beyond the average Saturday morning cartoon buff’s sensibilities, but it managed to carve a refreshing space in the curious minds of us innocent youth nevertheless.


(“Toad Nebula Lumber Truck” from the 1970 album Weasels Ripped My Flesh by Frank Zappa)

The above track is actually a composite edit of three songs from the album Weasels: 1. Toads of the Short Forest, 2. Dwarf Nebula Processional March & Dwarf Nebula, 3. The Orange County Lumber Truck. I spliced them together as a representation of Frank’s diverse explorations.


(Lil’ Brother from the 1970 album Fat Albert Rotunda by Herbie Hancock)

There weren’t too many jazz sextets having this kind of success. Buddy Rich’s big band was creating jazz in a similar vein, but it was Herbie who was penetrating the period groove with true originality!


(Chunga’s Revenge: title track from 1970’s album by Frank Zappa)

Frank’s primary instrument was guitar, whereas Herbie played keyboards. Both were focused on true artistry rather than trying to merely impress with technical skill. No one would refer to Frank’s solos as “shredfests,” but they always managed to hold the listener’s interest.


(Fat Mama from the 1970 album Fat Albert Rotunda by Herbie Hancock)

Writing for television kept Herbie well within the guidelines of melodic hooks and themes to effortlessly lead a recalcitrant world down the garden path of music without colour or racial identity.


(Holiday in Berlin from the 1970 album Burnt Weeny Sandwich by Frank Zappa)

Frank’s musical influence was predominantly felt in Europe, especially during the first half of the seventies. Europeans tended to especially appreciate the compositional skill Frank brought to the fore. Later, Frank would enjoy greater commercial success in North America when he began incorporating outrageous lyrical content– something for which he is still most renowned. (Sorry, we have none of that here; we’re focusing on the music instead.)


(Sleeping Giant excerpt 1 from the 1972 album Crossings by Herbie Hancock)

Post-Fat Albert, Herbie wanted to go a little more experimental but still maintaining a solid rhythm to hold his compositions together. Sleeping Giant is a mammoth undertaking which I’ve carved up into four sections because of a 7 megabyte limit for uploads here.


(Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus from the 1972 album The Grand Wazoo by Frank Zappa)

The album The Grand Wazoo is like a culmination point where Frank brought to a close the phase of his recording career which focused mainly on musical composition above lyrical content and subject matter. I think it’s my favourite.


(Sleeping Giant excerpt 2 from the 1972 album Crossings by Herbie Hancock)

“My intention at the time,” explains Mr. Hancock, “was to play music to be listened to with undivided attention; but how many people have the time to approach music that way?” Well, I do… and I always did find the time because it made my brain rejoice! He goes on to explain that these were intended as “heavy musical trips that try to expand people’s minds.” As long as we’re willing to really listen… then, mission accomplished!


(The Grand Wazoo part 1: title track from the 1972 album by Frank Zappa)

To me, the Grand Wazoo was the pinnacle of what Frank was trying to achieve. How many rock musicians tour with a twelve-piece band with a full horn and percussion section? Um… none, except Frank! And contrary to popular belief, Frank Zappa did not smoke marijuana, nor did he allow any of his musicians to. If you were caught getting high on the road, you were out! He had very exacting standards. (Doesn’t mean you can’t benefit from getting high while listening though.)


(Sleeping Giant excerpt 3 from the 1972 album Crossings by Herbie Hancock)

Herbie noticed that when he went to parties though, he would see that his records were there on the shelf among all the others, but his wouldn’t get played at the parties while the other ones did.


(The Grand Wazoo part 2: title track from the 1972 album by Frank Zappa)

The second half of The Grand Wazoo might try your patience a tad, but if the soloing artist doesn’t do it for you, you can always just listen to what the rhythm section’s doing in the background. I’m not sure that Frank cared much what his audience thought; he was on a mission to insert his craft within the burgeoning consciousness of humanity regardless.


(Sleeping Giant excerpt 4 from the 1972 album Crossings by Herbie Hancock)

Eventually Herbie shifted his focus from the experimental and mind-expanding to “making people feel like getting up in the morning and going to work.” But at least we could go about it with a secret smile shining inwardly.

Meanwhile, Frank was slicing through genres and styles with total disregard…


(It Just Might Be a One Shot Deal/Waka/Jawaka from the 1972 album Waka/Jawaka by Frank Zappa)

The Controllers and Social Engineers wouldn’t really regain control of the music scene until the last year of the seventies by promoting punk in Europe and disco in North America. There was really very little they could do to stop the rampant creativity of that era; all they could hope to do was to replace it with something innocuous and numbing. And then the eighties happened. Blech!


(Watermelon Man from the 1973 album Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock)

Our next exploration in music will move forward into the next generation of musicians who grew up on this music from the seventies. Progressive rock has made some exciting new inroads in the new millennium!

The Daily Forest Report March 12, 2014 Gnawing the Bones of Yesteryear

by nielskunze on March 12, 2014

Remember the good ol’ days? Yeah, neither do I. Honestly, life has never felt this brand new before. Okay, perhaps when I was an infant, but my memory is a bit foggy for that period.

Seriously, if it wasn’t for all the reminders of what has just passed, I swear Sitka and I would just walk straight off the edge of the future… like the flat-earth version of linear-timers!

If you feel like you’ve perhaps misplaced your head recently, Sitka can help with that!

Screen Shot 2014-03-12 at 9.15.09 AM

In need of more backbone? People telling you that you need to grow a spine in order to face the challenges before you? Sitka can help with that too!

Screen Shot 2014-03-12 at 9.29.31 AM

The changing landscape of our lives promises to offer many surprising rewards. We’ll have to remember to look for all the treasures though. Invoking ancient memory-retrieval programs to reveal all that’s been frozen in linear time– all that we thought was gone for good– promises to baffle, amaze and delight!

Screen Shot 2014-03-12 at 9.09.50 AM

Patches of bearberries poking through the snow, offering up little sugar-bombs is more my style than gnawing the actual bones. Sitka insists on receiving her fair share of those too. I like to combine them with the fifth-dimensional juniper berries for an exotic “spice berry” treat. It still amazes me that I can strand myself daily in this sea of ice and snow and fill my senses with the wonder of such anomalous visitations.

We are aliens here… exploring the New Earth for the very first time!

The Daily Forest Report March 11, 2014 “Inspiration vs. Obligation” A Conversation with Godfly

by nielskunze on March 11, 2014

We were warned that once things started to “thaw” on the world stage they would begin to move very rapidly. Anyone else having trouble keeping up? Here’s a tip: Don’t rely on the mainstream media to connect the dots for you. I’m pretty sure that you can come up with a better narrative connecting the Ukraine, cigar-shaped UFOs, disappearing airliners, global financial chaos and a dozen other salient points than can the typical mainstream buffoonery.

I myself am just happy to walk in the woods gleaning all the information I need from such impeccable sources. Days ago a spider’s web stretched across my face as I walked the familiar path. Normally I don’t much care for that sort of thing, but this was an exciting early spring indicator. The trees too are beginning to wake up from their frozen slumber as the forest takes on again its heavenly fragrance!

And then there’s this little fellow who came to speak at length with me:

Screen Shot 2014-03-10 at 9.32.24 AM

“Do you believe in an intelligent universe?”

I do… certainly I do!

“How intelligent is it?”

Wow! I hadn’t really thought to quantify it, but now that I’m pressed to answer I gotta say “Pretty friggin’ intelligent… like in the realm of super-duper smartypants intelligent!”

“So, smarter than you?”

Um… yes.

“No. You are the intelligence of the universe… which is to say that the universe of your creation is exactly as intelligent as you allow it to be.

“When you fully trust in the intelligence of the universe, it is nothing more than self-confidence. You understand that your constant meddling in the natural unfolding process of the universe is not needed. It will get along just fine without any of your attempts to control that unfolding– the ever-changing perfection.

“Whenever you feel the weight of the obligation to act, refrain. The evolution of worlds does not stand mercilessly upon your shoulders. Whenever you feel the upliftment of the inspiration to act, do so.

“The unfoldment of the universe is joyous and effortless… and participatory. But there is no need to seek duty and obligation. Simply allow inspiration to come to you… and wash away your resistances to what will naturally be.

“New Life is dawning!”

The Daily Forest Report March 8, 2014 It’s All Downhill From Here!

by nielskunze on March 8, 2014

I’m about 90% anticipation right now… and the other 20% is learning to do math!

The last year or so has oftentimes felt like we’re pushing a boulder uphill– a reticent and invisible boulder, to be sure! We’ve just taken it on faith that that sucker needed to get to the top of the hill come hell or high water!

Hell seems more like a rapidly fading memory now, but I can surely attest to the high water.

Screen Shot 2014-03-08 at 9.12.28 AM

There are currently hidden lakes beneath the snow in all the level places with minor depressions. Don’t worry, I’m confident that our minor depressions are coming to a rapid end. The waters of life standing there now in wait are ready to seep into the hungry and yielding Earth, preparing to feed the grand blossoming of spring.

And that shy and invisible boulder I mentioned… it has a firm date with gravity.

Screen Shot 2014-03-08 at 9.13.29 AM

This is just to help lessen (lesson) the true gravity of the situation! It should pretty much be all downhill from here… in a good way, a very very good way!

Unity Consciousness and the Abyss

Message To/From the TOURS (Team Of United Renegade Sovereigns) #3

Message To/From the TOURS (Team Of United Renegade Sovereigns) #3

by nielskunze on March 7, 2014

Oops! Silly presumptuous me! With the First Contact message I had just assumed that I was initiating first contact. Well, it turns out that I was actually a bit of a latecomer to the party. There were already 219 TOURS members who had made “first contact” in identifying each other and had already begun to organize themselves around the larger mission… and they were waiting for me! What’s more, they have already allied themselves with a group of cetaceans. Cool!

So I guess it’s safe to say that things are progressing rather quickly– even quicker than I thought possible. That being the case, I will use the agency of this third missive as a means to try and answer the flood of questions which has poured in over the past few days.

Before we get to the questions and answers though, I would like to explicitly state that there is nothing exclusive about these messages. They are for everybody, even those who are sure that they have nothing to do with the Team Of United Renegade Sovereigns (TOURS). We have nothing to hide; there’s nothing secret about our mission. We’re all for complete transparency. And that brings us right up against our first question.

Q: Are you serious? Is this for real?

A: The short answer: Yes.

My standard answer: I’m a fiction writer… or am I?

But I suspect that you want something more yet. This is all as real as anything else; it’s as real as butterflies and unicorns and ham sandwiches with way too much mayonnaise. See how serious I can be? Oh wait, you’re supposed to be asking the questions… continue.

Q: I don’t understand why you had to wait until a certain time to reveal your agenda. If it was dangerous to do so earlier, why is it that now the danger has suddenly passed?

A: While the collective consciousness of humanity was still dominated by some very large factions holding considerable sway both at the level of the collective unconscious and in the real world arena, any group announcing that they were here to undermine that “power” would be in very real danger to being eliminated– i.e. killed. Although the vast majority of the TOURS will not reveal themselves in the waking world, there are nevertheless certain “sorceries” which might have been employed by the large coordinated factions which might go a long way to identifying the members as we begin to influence the collective through our unified effort. Therefore, we had to wait until the largest factions became more fractured and consequently ineffectual before declaring ourselves.

Q: Wouldn’t you naturally be more effective utilizing a coordinated approach from the beginning?

A: As individuals mostly working in the dark, members of the TOURS all have a strong intuition as to what the initial mission looks like. They can accomplish the mission without knowing that they are part of the team or that there even is a mission. During the “fragmentation” portion of the mission, we are merely “smugness busters.” Through conversation, art, education, social networking, or any other means we simply confront smugness– those who are overly confident in their world view– and challenge it. Although from time to time some of us might fall into the trap of getting a bit preachy, deep down we know that we’re not here to push a particular “truth” upon individuals or the masses. The early part of the mission is to address the prevalent entrenched views and move them into a state of limbo where they might finally be honestly questioned.

Q: If we’re not already part of the TOURS, is there any way that we can join at this point?

A: Membership in the TOURS is rather fluid. On every planetary mission we gain a few members and we lose a few members. There is nothing per se to prevent you from joining our ranks now. You may even join in the TOURS’ unity consciousness which underlies the next phase of the mission. The difficulty lies in the temptation of other narratives. At the completion of this current Earth mission, Earth inhabitants will have (likely) selected a few open-ended narratives which will form the structure and framework moving them forward into a new reality. Some will remain a part of the New Earth collective, while others will choose to join collectives which constitute other worlds entirely. Some will stay; some will go. I myself feel inclined to stay here with the New Earth collective for some time after the mission’s success because I deem the Earth reality to be most intriguing and offering the greatest opportunity for personal evolvement. I have long said that I intend to be here another thousand years, although the mission should be complete in just a few short years from now. A newcomer like yourself will only join our ranks to complete similar missions on other worlds if the other options (narratives) on offer are found to be less appealing. Like I said, we gain a few; we lose a few.

Q: How do you realistically expect all of the TOURS to wake up to their mission when you yourself have said that there’s no way in hell that they’re all going to access your blog?

A: A few will not awaken until the mission is nearly complete. Invariably there are some who succumb to the seduction of some insidious narrative that they choose to identify with instead. Despite very careful planning, this cannot be avoided. However, as we come together now in unity consciousness as an experienced task force, the allure of that unity exerts a powerful pull on those who have been attuned to it since before their birth in this lifetime. Through their powerful intuitions they will find us… as One.

Q: You mentioned certain triggers, even providing links to articles written by other authors. Does that mean that Paul Levy and Julian Wash are part of the TOURS? And how about the obscure music you’ve been sharing lately? Are those artists members too?

A: Not necessarily. So-called triggers can come through any member of humanity who agrees to act upon the inspiration provided. As members of the TOURS encounter such triggers they are able to recognize a certain “subtle anarchism” sewn within. The triggers awaken a vague sense of mission… and then the search begins in earnest.

A true trigger refrains from overtly promoting any specific agenda or narrative. They are generally freedom oriented.

Q: Now that you have revealed yourselves, what’s to prevent those of ill-intent from infiltrating your ranks?

A: Nothing. Any and all are welcome to join in the unity consciousness we are momentarily establishing. It is the very nature of unity consciousness that one cannot join in without becoming fully transparent in the process. It is simply impossible to enter into unity consciousness with a concealed personal agenda. Individuals with ill-intent may very well seek to infiltrate, but their intentions will be perfectly clear to all in the One. The power of unity consciousness is impossible to usurp. We welcome the attempt.

Here I should add that our numbers are in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million members. That’s not a huge unity, but it should well suffice for this mission. Before the period of fragmentation within Earth’s collective there were several factions which were much larger than that– although their association was not of true unity consciousness. Before those large factions broke apart, they were a very real threat. Now they are no longer.

Q: In Message #1 you said that “scientific materialism” was the prevailing view on Earth at this time, but there’s a billion catholics, a billion muslims and all the other religions too. How can scientific materialism truly be the majority?

A: Admittedly, I rushed through that portion of the message for the sake of brevity. Allow me to elaborate now. Even though many people purport to be adherents to a particular religious faith, when it comes right down to their core beliefs, many if not most are scientific materialists. For example, modern allopathic medicine is based squarely within scientific materialism. When a muslim or a catholic has a sick child on their hands, the vast majority will go to the allopathic doctor and administer the doctor’s prescription, regardless of their purported faith in supernatural providence.

Another crucial distinction here is that scientific materialism may not in fact hold the majority of Earth inhabitants in its camp; it is just the largest of all the factions. There is no requirement that it needs to exceed 50%. There is just no other viewpoint that comes close to having the same number of adherents as scientific materialism.

Also, at this point– and this is crucial to the situation– no one on Earth right now is quite as sure of their view as they were just a couple of years ago. Despite their protestations, demonstrations and recalcitrant bluster, everyone’s view of the world has now admitted a little wiggle room. Largely, the prevailing perception at this moment is mostly a force of habit… and not the true conviction it once was.

Q: You said that scientific materialism is a bankrupt paradigm, how so?

A: Quantum physics is not in dispute. Quantum theory is the most successful theory in the history of science on Earth. None of its tenets has ever been shown to be incorrect. There is not a single reputable scientist who disputes this. Quantum physics has been in use for more than eighty years. It insists upon an observer/participant-created reality. In some sense– which is still open for interpretation but not refutation– consciousness causes the reality of our experience. The universe described by scientific materialism– one that has an independent mechanistic existence irrespective of conscious perception– has been shown to be false. Again, scientifically, this is not in dispute. It is merely the habits and inherent structure of language and moneyed interests which keep the world perception locked within a bankrupt paradigm.

A further note of caution, though. The many-varied interpretations of quantum physics are not all scientifically based. There are definitely some whack interpretations out there. But at this point it is safe to say that space, time, matter and energy do not possess an independent existence apart from consciousness. Science can no longer evade the confrontation with consciousness if it is to continue moving forward.

Q: Towards the end of message #1 you say that there are some unique contributing factors concerning Earth, but the explanation which follows is a bit vague. Can you elaborate? (I’ve edited this question for clarity and brevity.)

A: Yes, it’s almost as though my readers, or Team members, could sense that there was something more I was trying to point at but managed only a poor description of in the end. Let me try again.

Worlds, what we usually refer to as habitable planets, are in essence collectives of consciousness. The agreements held within those collectives directly and invariably determine the nature of reality within each respective world. The consensus of perception held within the “planetary” collective determines the types of experiences that can be gleaned in those realities– the way in which reality will manifest. Each world (each collective) expresses its own unique reality. They can each exhibit vastly differing “natural laws.” The universe is not at all uniformly objectifiable. Each world is an independent local reality… until it confronts the full and unavoidable nature of consciousness and chooses to enter into true unity consciousness which is the proactive and fully aware creative expression of the original collective consciousness… evolved. (Read that sentence again.) Okay.

Earth is the theatre for the Grand Reunification. It was deliberately seeded with representations from all other worlds. (Not necessarily every planet, but every type of planetary existence.) The diversity which Earth has had to accommodate is truly staggering and mind-boggling in scope. Essentially, that is the main reason that a human being standing here upon Earth’s surface looking out into the vastness of space perceives such an incredibly huge… unfathomably enormous universal reality.

Remember, space is a mental construct of our collective perception. It has to appear that large in order to accommodate the crazy diversity present here. Time as well is a construct of our collective consciousness suggesting huge lengths of time spanning unimaginable eons in order to again accommodate such diversity within the context of an ongoing evolution.

Our seeming insignificance here is merely a reflection of the monumental task we’ve taken on. Fortunately, a huge chunk of the work has already been accomplished. We’re just in the middle of this chaotic transition that will see us– and the rest of the universe as a result of our efforts– move into an era of increasing integrity… toward the Grand Reunification.

Q: I’ve been reading your blog consistently for some time now and I’m sorry to say that you have failed to put forward a consistent philosophy. You seem to often contradict yourself, claiming one thing as truth today and then belittling that same truth tomorrow. Why should I believe anything you have to say?

A: You shouldn’t. And you are perfectly correct. I haven’t always been particularly consistent. I haven’t needed to be… although there are definitely some points on which I’ve been very consistent.

Deep down I’ve always known that it wasn’t my place to tell people what to believe. Intuitively I’ve always known that my basic message wasn’t “Follow me.” A lot of my writing, especially early on, like my first two books, was about me trying to work things out for myself. I was in the dark. I had an insistent but nevertheless vague sense of mission, but I knew nothing of the TOURS. It’s been a long journey of remembering. And as a communications expert within the TOURS it was natural for me to go through the process publicly.

The remainder of my writing is simply a challenge to the many faces of the status quo. Like I said before, I’m trying to shake the smug confidence of multiple entrenched views. My job is to make you question yourself. Of course, since I present a threat, oftentimes this results in others merely questioning me rather than themselves. Oh well, what more can I do?

Q: How often can we expect further messages?

A: As often as is necessary. Typically, in the beginning, as we assemble our ranks and formulate a united course of action, there is a flurry of messages to try to coordinate ourselves within the premeditated chaos. As we organize and set about to completing the mission, things tend more and more to take care of themselves. So in the next few months you should expect to hear from me/us often; by next year and the year after, hardly at all… but by then you’ll be well grounded in knowing exactly what’s really going on.
