Welcome to Eternity

Our lives have not been easy. Life on Planet Earth has not been easy for a long time, maybe ever. Being biological, as we are, and at least self aware enough to recognize this truth, we are humans.

A great reason Life on Planet Earth has not been easy for us is the rise of nation-states and the Corporation, both generated by unholy humans in their quest for power and control. Our borders are considered sacred by most tribes, even though most were generated by the British Empire before it was usurped by the United States Empire.

And yet there is one simple truth that has held since the beginning of time. And this truth is that we are eternal, living in eternity. It can be no other way.

Of course our biology will fail, it’s how biology works. Birth, growth, adulthood, aging and death. We know the pattern. What we do not recognize is that even Now, as always, we are living in eternity.

My sense is that our spirits choose this earthly existence because of the inevitable challenges of biological life. And the corresponding opportunities for vast growth. Angels and other non-physical types know eternity. They live it without the distractions of survival.

Those we know who have passed on are still with us. Many of us sense their presence even with their lack of physical form. Those yet to be born are with us as well, waiting for their turn on this earthly turning.

Here’s the simple truth. We are always living in eternity. It is our home. And yet we are even still ever moving through time, another inevitability. How can this be?

It is so because Now, this tiny point in time where the future becomes the past, is where we can find and recognize our eternal nature. And indeed, this Now we are ever sharing is always shuttling us through time. Eternal Awareness and Infinite Energy, co-mingling only Here in this place in time. We are Life, two elementals with opposite characteristics. Quite bizarre, and yet clearly true.

It is a great failure of the current state of science that ‘The Totality of Now’ is not the central declared truth of science. From the simplest two-slit experiments to hadron colliders, the Nowness of the experiment/experience is clear.

This is the truth of sport as well. It is this movement through time, we can never go back, that makes sports so captivating. So too are live performances captivating. The play, the live music, the acrobat, all capture our attention because of the fleeting nature of time. Failures and triumphs. And yet we are always Here, living in Eternity.

Of course, the recognition of this simple truth does not serve those few who control our corrupt and broken culture. We have been abused, traumatized and confused to the point where even this most simple of ideas seems foreign. It is not. This Life we are sharing is all there is. Life, and we, exist only Now.

So, as it is. We are all together for a very long time. Best we not forget this, the struggles of biological lie within a broken culture not withstanding. It may well be that these dangerous and auspicious times are designed to bring the truth of our Eternal Home Here in Life to the culture at large. One can hope.

The Frame of Our Existence

Life is the result of two elemental forces, awareness and energy. Awareness is eternal and still, requiring nothing. It is the void; endless and dark. Energy is motion. It is incapable of stillness. The co-mingling of these two opposite forces happens at only one point in time. Now. No other time exists. This is the Great Tao. This is the first truth. Learning this is our most needed lesson in this dark time.

There is great confusion among we humans on the nature of reality. This is not surprising, since The Great Evil* doesn’t want us to understand such simple things. They would rather convince us of the all consuming nature of consumption, and keep reminding us that our intrinsic value to life on Earth comes from consuming. This means both the consumer mentality where ‘baby needs a new pair of shoes’ and more critically the consumption of bullshit narratives that have driven our culture for hundreds of years. Yuck.

There are a host of places to look if you with to explore our history from this perspective. Check out the Rothchilds family efforts with the Bank of England at the end of the Napoleonic Wars or the Vanderbilts, Carnegies and Morgans in the late 1800s. A long history of lies, cheating and exploitation. Now we can add the Bezos, Gates, Zuckerbergs and Musks to their ranks.

So I move now to the truth, the answer to the nature of reality.

What we call Life is happening only now. This point in time is all that exists. The future is gone and tomorrow never comes. The reason for this is that Life consists of two elementals – Eternal Awareness, pure stillness and Infinite Energy, pure vibration.

If we did not have Eternal Awareness, there would be no memory. No recognition of what’s come before and what we may behold in the future. We know intuitively that we are the same person we’ve been ever since we found a sense of self in these bodies. We are Eternal. This innate truth has been stolen from us.

And yet the onslaught of events is ever clear. Time does not stand still. That’s the job of Eternal Awareness. Energy creates our experience of change. And it never stops.

Life is these two elementals coexisting which necessarily happens only Now. This is the only point in time where these incomprehensible two opposite forces co-mingle. The totality of Now is the great recognition our culture lacks, much to our peril.

Sports, the great pastime these days, makes the totality of Now quite clear. No one doubts the totality of now during a crucial play, when the ball is in the air. And yet after the game we’re again caught up in a mind full of what ifs and what was and will tomorrow be alright and a whole bunch of bullshit. And we feel like it’s real in our heads, and that these thoughts supersede our reality, the Totality of Now. Silly humans.

Galaxies and animal friends are aware of of this Life we share, even without the thoughts so prevalent in we humans. The birds, trees and even the sky above all know. Words are not required to experience Now. Indeed, they get in the way.

So why is such a glaring and obvious truth so seemingly strange? It’s our broken culture, designed and implemented over a thousand years so that The Great Evil can maintain its power and its structures of control.

If Now is all that exists, we are all necessarily All Here Together, and this is and must be the case Now and throughout our eternity. Life requires that we are eternal as well. These bodies? Of course not. Yet those beyond the veil are no less real that you and I. They are just far less physical.

And yet as close as we culturally get to recognizing our eternity is in some religious or spiritual creed, which might mean a future heaven or hell or something. This is just confusion.

I could go on and on, but in point of truth I’m trying to use words to describe what words cannot know. Perhaps most importantly, Life is this Presence, a sort of soup of Energy and Awareness that is always stirring and always still. Life is enchanting, epic, the ultimate truth, always here as our life line. And again, the only reason this is not obvious is because of our confusion and fear, so ingrained in this broken culture.

So, the chains of fear must be let go. Fear always points to a particular, yet it is fear itself that we must let go to experience our new eternal world. Our truth of Life Here Together.

Of course, clearly we are biological. Biological life is clearly a subset of All That Is, yet it is chained to this moment just as all life is. And the great requirement of biological life is water.

Indeed, on the edge of science are those who see connection between water and consciousness. (Adherents to a mechanical universe do not see such truths.) Based on life here on Earth, water does fit as the essential element for biological life.

The magical nature of water is of course neglected in our broken culture as well, which only cares if it can be bought and sold. When we finally emerge from this war-torn, extractive, pollutive and insane culture, we will see water for the sacred life-enabling agent that it is.

This is World 5.0. The truth of our reality and our existence. Life is Now and we are all participants. All the pain, all the lies, all the false narratives need hold no longer. We are all Here right Now sharing Life. This is good.

Welcome to the emerging future and the receding past. Welcome to World 5.0.

*I define ‘The Great Evil’ as those forces that have driven our culture for hundreds of years. It includes, but is not limited to, oligarchic families like the Rothschilds, Morgans and others, along with other ugly forces that are at work to maintain this broken status quo. The primary tool of The Great Evil is ‘The Corporation’, a bullshit legal entity that’s been growing in power since its esta

Welcome to Now

The time is always now. The answer is always love.

Such has been a mantra of mine for some years. I now feel it in my bones. I live Here in the Presence – as we all do. Yet I am not driven by the freight train of events. Because I know we All Live Here in Eternity Together Right Now.

Our culture has been sadly ignorant of the nature of life and our place in it. It’s quite simple. We exist only Now. We imagine past and future events unendingly, but Life, and hence we, exist only Now.

How could such a thing be? The answer is understanding what is occurring so that this experience of life is happening. And again the answer is quite simple, if foreign to the World4 culture.

The answer is that this tiny point in time where Life happens, Now, is the intermingling of two elemental forces: Eternal Awareness and Infinite Energy.

Infinite Energy needs no introduction. It’s force affecting our lives is clear. Yet indeed it clearly only happens now. How’s your internet yesterday. Oh, you were great before the fall? Now is everything. Now is all in time. This is where we are and remain for all eternity.

Which brings us to the eternal awareness side of this. The yin to energy’s yang. It’s easily clear that we live Here in Eternity. Nearly seventy years old, I’m still the little Jimmy at my core. We have memory. Life has an eternal memory. Eternal Awareness requires it, and far more.

The totality of now is far more obvious if we think in terms of a sporting event. No going back or forward in time. The presentness of sports is part of their appeal. How about when your electric or internet are out? When does that happen?

Our connection, better yet our communion is a necessary aspect of our existence. We share Life. We are all here together in the only place in time that exists. Period. Full stop. So I suggest you get all that other bullshit out the way.

Knowing this, awakening to this, having narrowed the playing field tremendously, how you gonna play it now? How do you intend to focus your intent? Do you appreciate the powerful difference of choosing love over fear?

Because as the reality of our shared existence sinks in, into our bones, and we let go the dramas and fears that overtake so many of us, we let go. We say goodbye to all that fearful and ugly – knowing we are together, and eternally so. There is no fear. We need do nothing.

So welcome to Now. There is nothing to fear, and so much to love. Bear in mind, only love makes us happy.

Heart of the Chaos

For those of us who study where we are as a culture, a corrupt and dark place where we approach self-annihilation, a clarity is arising. Even with the disasters set forth by nation-states, religious zealots and worse, one entity has been at the heart of our chaos.

Let me tease further. Our wars, the misery of millions, dirty water, shitty food, environmental devastation, climate chaos, and people and planet failing even now, they all have a common cause, a single source of currently unmitigated power. Welcome, friends, to the now failing world of corporatism.

Corporations.

Yes, of course, it’s the corporations. Mindless legal entities that hoard vast trillions of dollars for their owners, who are the true offenders. 9th Century Danish and English monarchies, obviously for personal gain, enabled a few special corporations. Soon enough we had the East India Company and the Hudson Bay Company, and the British Empire became a thing.

Indeed, the US Founding Fathers were acutely aware of the nature of corporations and went out of their way to contain their power in the early United States. But as we know, those controls withered over time. It’s hard to stop money’s influence. Read Howard Zinns, ‘A People’s History of the United States’.

Today the picture is crystal clear. It is corporations, a small handful in each area of our lives, that rule. A small handful of banks, wreaking havoc on a daily basis to so many. Media, healthcare, food, retail, the list is sickening.

When I was young, we had neighbors that were around for years. Small stores on nearly every corner. Shoe repair, hardware, ‘supermarkets’ and department store were all a part of my growing up culture. What was so different? Each one of the above was owned by someone, and the next by someone else, and this was happening all across America in the post World War II boom.

And then we saw all the little unique characters of our towns disappear as corporations replaced the vast percentage of small shops with their crap. A McDonald’s at every exit. A Walmart in every town. Heart wrenching.

Let’s be clear. The folks running the show have family names like Rothschild and Rockefeller and Walton and Coch and Morgan and on and on. Their intent is clear from their actions. They thrive on war, consumption and fear. Which mean all three deserve our resistance.

From where we see today, there is no good reason for the existence of such a legal entity. Corporations need to be decommissioned or turned into coops. If you’re war profiteers, which means you’re killing hundreds of us daily, you need to go away. If you’re Exxon or another extractor you need to go away. If you’re GMO corporation you need to go away.

For others, we create coops from corporations. We can have honest competition, each company employee owned and each as equally interested in your experience with them as with personal gain.

We are in transition. The old ways and systems are not responding to our deep needs The age of corporatism is coming to an end, and not a moment too soon, considering our current peril.

The administration of Donald Trump, with a massive transfer of wealth pending in the Republican congress, proves beyond doubt that this entity, for whatever values it may have incidentally held, is inherently mindless and manipulative.

Which is why these assholes in congress must be replaced. Such is our task. As we awaken and engage, we cannot be stopped. We create a new world where peace and love reign, and where our current reality becomes a dim, dark past.

Breathing into Now

In these times of turbulence and trauma, there is one simple exercise we can all do that helps to heal our bodies, dissipate our fears, and increase our sense of well being and belonging. Yes, of course, it’s breathing.

Many of us recognize this incredible phenomenon, and yet it is hardly mentioned outside of New Age conversations and recognitions. Breathing. When’s the last time your doctor, if ever, suggested you take deep, aware breathes to help with a particular ailment? Right. Likely never.

Most of us go through our lives with little recognition of this healing effort. So simple, so mundane, and yet so wondrous. Indeed, it is the one practice that confirms our existence as biological beings. It’s what gets busy when we exert ourselves. It is the force of life itself manifesting within us.

One of the reasons this aspect of living is so neglected is the applied context of the old cultural system. In a world where we are presumed to be isolated and alone, with past and future constantly pressing us, where living in the bubble of our individuality is the norm, ignoring our breathing is to be expected.

But that doesn’t make such neglect a good thing. Far from it.

Physiologically, breathing provides the oxygen for our cells and body processes to do their thing. On inhale, oxygen into the lungs is transferred to our blood stream, and from there to every point in our body. The exhale removes wastes and toxins from our system. It’s a remarkable and constant process.

And yet the rewards for conscious breathing are much deeper. We must deepen our view to see how this is so.

The deeper view is Life itself, this incredibly vast entanglement of awareness and energy that we all live in. Life happens only Now, and while we each of us hold our own space in this physical existence, we all necessarily share this time. Indeed, this is the only time that exists. In the temporal frame, Now is total. We all share Now. We are all Here together.

Stuck as we are in our busy little heads as we often are, our reality seems foreign. Our thoughts and worries seem far more real to us. Our emotional duress, even from events decades ago, can seem more real to us. Our belief codes, these powerful notions handed down to us by parents and culture, seem far more real to us. We have all these stories about gods and politics and the nature of things. Not true. Only Now Is True.

Check in with the animals and plants surrounding us. Where do they exist? What do they ‘do’ outside of this present experience of Life. Check your phone. When does it work, take photos or take you to some fresh clickbait? Check in with your favorite quantum physicist. Where do all these quantum entanglements happen. When does the observer affect the experiment? Yup.

So let’s circle back to our breathing. Of course it only happens now, and the impact of recognizing this truth brings grounding. Breathing connects us to this reality of Life in a way not possible through thought. In fact, thought tends to disconnect us. Thoughts reinforce the bubble mentality of being alone.

But focusing on our breathing – such a sweet way to spend this moment, to be with our bodies, connected with mind and spirit. Such a sweet bliss within this simple act as it works to help heal and find ourselves. And has we find ourselves, we find each other.

Hmmm. If thoughts tend to reinforce a bubble mentality, perhaps I should stop trying to use them to support this recognition of our common place in time.
