God Bless America!!!

Posted by John Crutchfield on July 15, 2011

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

All of us make choices based upon the information to which we are exposed.

Those choices have consequences – for good or ill.

Look around, is this world with its’ current economic system and mindset of competition and hierarchy of “superior v. inferior”, “Good guys v. Bad guys”,

“Haves v. Have nots” “Us v. Them” what you wanted to see when you grew up?

Guess what? You can change it.

Even more…..

ONLY YOU can change it.

You might consider that your perception of your power to do so has been influenced by a lifetime of lies and false programming/brainwashing.

Just like most of those people who “knew for a fact” that the earth was flat because,

“That’s the way it’s been my whole life.” “The teachers told me” or “Everyone knows that’s the way it is.” never lived to see Columbus return from a little sailing trip one day to declare it otherwise. Galileo knew as well, but the Homeland Security Department of the Renaissence  (aka the Pope’s Vatican police force) locked him up in his own version of the current Julian Assange drama.

SO, you may think that you’ve been lied to a little, but if you were to do your homework and educate yourself, you might discover that we’ve been fed mostly lies about a great number of things. The majority being the false notion of history and the way the human body works.

George Washington didn’t chop down any cherry tree.

The human body completely replaces 100% of it’s cells in 18-24 months.

We can have an industrial-strength immune system.

And the USA is the Land of …..well, we’re not sure anymore…..

review your freedoms when going through the security checkpoint

at your local airport.

Educate yourself.

Think for yourself.

Read 1984 by George Orwell.

Open your mind and say, “Ahhhhhh!”

And then teach your children to be free.

The time for competition is now obsolete.

The Era of Creative Community is Now.

We either all make it as a human family or we will all dissolve as a lifeform.

There is no more time for the ancient game of opposition.

The powermongers and greedy fear-infected people who created corporate personhood and the profit-over-people program of usary-based banking system

is now in rapid decline and will soon die. Slowly or rapidly. But it is based in limitation.

And we all know, limitation has its’ limits.

The average lifespan of an empire has been historically 200 years approximately.

Enjoy the end days’, party as this one is sliding into the ashcan as the those with the keys to the office continue to loot what they can and supply their corporate owners with as much profit while Rome is smoldering and getting ready to spark the beginning flames of the next lightshow.

Practice being nice to the other humans…they’re only a reflection of you—good and bad.

God bless all beings!

They’re all made out of God anyway.

In the end it can be really very simple:

If you want to get into the voting game, there are only two paths:

Limitation (this includes scarcity, doing, in order to, and all belief in “only so much to go around”)

&

Creation (this includes infinite possibilities and unlimited ideas and solutions to every observable event)

It’s your choice.

pick the limitation pill and you get to continue on as if nothing ever happened and play your games of effort and struggle and suffering.

Pick the Creation pill and you get to create any idea you like and participate in manifesting it.

You can think for yourself.

Now choose.

Have a nice day

Peace & Love

Mould eliminator for $5.99 plus tax at Safeway

Posted by John Crutchfield on May 19, 2011

OK
The last post was a bit of a rant and not necessarily intended to enrage, but more to inform….However, I definitely used it (and its’ informational ilk—and hey! There’s plenty to choose from today…) to trigger my own irritation/outrage programs and observe them and inquire just exactly where do they come from????
The concept that every day-to-day irritation is just a metaphor for an earlier irritation which resulted from an earlier one, etc…in an exercise of just being with the physiology of anger and breathing it into peace…..
SO, the thing I want to write about right now is mould!

Actually, do you ever get any kind of mould or mildew or even just a musty smell to any room in your home?
I used to live in Ha’iku on Maui in Hawaii.
Now, Ha’iku is on the North shore of Maui and the home of much more rain than the South shore…the Maui rainforests, bamboos forests, birthing pools, and Hana all hail from the North shore.
But also with the consistent rain and humidity comes mould, mildew, etc….

I left for the Mainland (as we called California/Washington/Oregon/Mexico and all points east) one time for a week and didn’t return for 6 weeks. WHen I walked in the front door of my jungle retreat, the place was covered in light blue and purple fuzzy mould….on the countertops, the furniture, the clothing was delightful….my djembe drum had become so overcome that the drum head, a pretty thick piece of goatskin, had ripped into two pieces and looked like it needed a shave for it’s purple beard of mould fur…yuk!

SO I cleaned up the place with a mixture of food grade hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver (in the laundry, etc.) and then continued the cleaning practice until a friend showed me how, if I bought a 4′ fluorescent bulb fixture from Home Depot for $9 and a 4′ blacklight bulb for $8 and left them burning in my place, how the mould wouldn’t grow…Coool!

I immediately got that system together and withing 48 hours, my home was mould and scent-free!

I bought a few more bulbs and fixtures and had a few burning 24/7 and from that moment forward, everyt’ing cool, mon!
No mould, no musty yuk, no fungus….

and this was long before I got a de-humidifier….

(they work great, too by the way!)

SO today I want to inform and celebrate with y’all that, fo those of you whose home is challenged with any kind of mould/funugs issues….(my friend had a problem in her laundry room….which we resolved easily and I’ll tell you about it later on…)

Safeway in Northern California, at least, now has blcklight CFL’s for sale for $5.99 plus tax….

This is totally cool.
WHy?
Because if you’ve got a room in your home where things smell as though they’re getting out of hand (mould-wise) you can get one of these bulbs and screw it into any light socket in the room, switch on the light and let it kill all the mould in the place….
Leave it on for at least 48 hours (probably 72 would be better) and then, depending upon your usage and needs….leave it burning all the time and NOTHING (mould-related, that is) will grow in the the room…
This is a great boon to mould-sensitive people, people with allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome folks, etc.

See, the UV (ultraviolet) light emitted by the blacklight is what destroys/inhibits mould/fungus growth…that’s cool because it also looks interesting as well….
You can also introduce your kids to fluorescent paints & painting while you’re at it…the paints are cheap at a crafts store and, hey! The BlackLight’s going to be on anyways……

Enjoy!

OK So I was attempting to upload a photo of the CFL here…but…for some reason (“Remember, John, Computers are not your friends…They don’t have the capacity….”) the photo looks like it uploaded. but when I try to embed it into this page….the link gets broken and nothing shows up except for the link you’ll see below this rant…I remove said rant upon successful embedding (embedment?) of said photo…

and to answer some (one) of your questions, No, I’m receiving no compensation from Safeway…it’s just where I bought the dang bulb.

And from personal expeience (in Hawaii, Northern India & California, so far it works everytime like a magic charm.

Peace out (& in)

Peace around and through

OK Back to the laundry room story…

 

This laundry room has no ventilation, a commercial washer and a commercial dryer in it….the room’s door is kept closed all the time except for entering and exiting…maybe 0nce every day or so for doing laundry or accessing the broom & dustpan for sweeping)

It definitely smelled, for about six months as though something was going on (i.e. growing—botanically-speaking) in there….

So, I got one of these bulbs and replaced one of the lights with it and within 48 hours….no smell…..

 

I know…

anticlimactic

 

but, it really works that fast, subtly and completely….

install bulb

turn on light switch

wait for two days (less or more depending upon the size of the room—bigger room….mnre bulbs—)

It’s a very simple equation.

in the laundry room,

it’s burning 24/7 (low electrical consumption is what cfl’s are noted for anyway, so this is good)

and to date (approximately 3.5 months later)

no smell….

Plus it looks cool when we walk in…

 

I had 2 – 48″ bulbs in my closet in the jungle with two window areas only covered with screen and open to the jungle in the treetops of an avocado and coffee jungle and for 18 months—no scent of mould…

OK go get a blacklight and kill your mould today!

(See blacklights aren’t just for hippies & ravers, mom!)

Who’s Minding the Store at the Federal Reserve?

Posted by John Crutchfield on May 18, 2011

Ok here’s something a bit interesting which came across my desk today…

a congressional inquiry regarding the $9,000,000,000 worth of credit extended to …who?   well, we just can’t say yet, because the review is not quite finished…as the respondent (the Inspector General of the Federal Reserve Board, no less) reports in this video….

Sorry, the money (whose? well, thet would be yours and mine, by the way) is not really accounted for….

Hmmm….

are the wolves guarding the hen house here or am I off the rails with my train of thought….

What do you think?

Filter Bubbles-Internet Search Integrity

Posted by John Crutchfield on May 16, 2011

Do you get the same web search results as your friends and neighbors do?

Probably not….

as Eli Pariser’s short (9 min.) video lecture at the Feb 2011 TED Conference in Long Beach,CA describes

the net search results from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Bing, etc. are all tailored to each person’s specific patterns

such that the results for two neighbors living next door to one another can be dramatically different.

All search results are not equal and hence, not neutral as one might have imagined in the past…

 

Check it out:

Next up:

What can we do about this to ensure that we receive straight/unedited results from our online search inquiries???

 

 

“All That We Are Is The Result of What We Have Thought”

Posted by John Crutchfield on October 22, 2010

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” Buddha

Well said Mr. B.

This is basic Law of Attraction material, stated around 2500 years ago. And we’re still working on perfecting the practice.

This is a short post just to say that controlling the content of one’s thought can often be a fuultime job….at least in the beginning.

Like an unruly child or a dog that’s had absolutely no training and runs wild and doesn’t know how to behave around people, the untrained mind really has earned the name some meditation teachers in the dim past gave it: The Drunken Monkey Mind-Staggering and lurching from thought to thought with no seeming plan or organization….the haphazard thoughts seem to gift the owner with, confusion, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, stress, a self-view as a victim of circumstances, and worse…hence the saying, “Life is what happens while we’re busy making other plans.”

O.K. so that’s the problem.

What’s a solution?

I’m writing ‘a’ solution and not THE solution because, I think most of us can agree that we live in a universe of infinite possibility and potential and as such there is often more than one way to build a restaurant.

So, one solution to managing one’s mental thought content is based on the principle of observing one’s ‘emotional weather report’ i.e. how one feels at any given moment.

It’s actually quite simple and based in some fairly solid science as well.

first, here’s a bit of the science background….for those of you who are somewhat allergic to science, hag in there this is going to be simple, easy, fun and profitable (in terms of general health and wellbeing.)

So, here goes:

1.) Every thought we think produces an associated chemical in our brain. (for simplicity’s sake we can refer to all of those infinitely various chemicals as ‘neurochemicals’ because they’re all made in the brain.)

2.) Every neurochemical produces some sort of physical reaction or effect in the human body.

3.) There are basically two categories of neurochemicals: Positive & Negative-one category contributes to optimal human health-cellular renewal, balance and growth and one which destroys or contributes to the decay of general health and aging.

4.) One of the best indicators of what type of neurochemicals one is producing at any given moment, is how one feels emotionally.

5.) When one feels positive emotions, one’s brain and body are producing and circulating chemicals of health and wellbeing-Life. When one is feeling negative emotions, one’s brain and body are producing and circulating chemicals of stress and aging and decay-Death.

Pretty simple, eh?

If we are feeling good emotionally, we can safely assume that our thoughts, conscious and subconscious are of a type of content which is enhancing or at least supporting our health and wellbeing. And if we’re feeling anything less than positive (or at least that rare state known as neutral) we’re stressing not only our minds/emotions but more importantly, our bodies as well.

So, what’s the solution to this situation?

It gets simpler here…

1.) Observe your emotions

2.) If feeling a positive emotion, then keep on doing whatever you’re doing (You know that saying, “If it’s working, don’t fix it.”)

3.) If feeling less than positive then:

A.) Remember that you are the manager of your conscious thoughts-you can think whatever thought you like.

B.) Begin to think thoughts of anything which bring a feeling of gratitude or appreciation to your heart.

C.) Keep thinking thoughts like that until you begin to feel better.

D.) The time it will take is dependent upon a number of factors, but basically, think of negative emotions as the result of being intoxicated

with the neurochemicals of stress, tension, negativity, ill will, anger, sadness, depression, you name it. These neurochemicals need to

be metabolized and dissolved away and replaced with the neurochemicals which create the physiology of positive emotions….

SImple, eh?

I know it takes continuous practice, but in the end we’re practicing another facet of self-awareness and everyone knows the benefits of that…even the ancient Greek oracle of Apollo at Delphi had the saying, ‘Know Thyself’ carved into the temple entrance.

Most of us have been trained by the world around us to think thoughts based on how we feel. However if  we’d like to drive our own bus where we want to go in life, it’s important that we train ourselves to think exactly what we want to think…as the twig is bent so grows the tree…

SO, thanks again to Shakyamuni Gautama the Buddha or as I like to refer to the dude, Mr. B. as they say, Meditate on this.

There are many other approaches to this subject, and there will more posted here in the future regarding this simple and extremely effective approach to stress-reduction, anxiety and radiant health and cheerfulness.

Have a happy and healthy day!

Creating Wealth

Posted by John Crutchfield on March 19, 2010

Aloha All!
O.K. while I was away, I’ve been working on creating some prosperity in my world…Considering that I make my home most of the year in the northern Indian Himalayas, I have to say that for most of us there – local Indians, Tibetans as well as the few resident Westerners, the income reality is somewhat slim – unless one is a trust fund recipient, independently wealthy or on some sort of business expense account…there are exceptions, but they’re few and far between…
So the question which confronts most is: “How can I earn a decent income and still live in the paradise of the Himalayas?”

The locals seem to scrape by on USD$1-$4.00/day (near the top of the earning pile, mind you!) and the rest exist at a bare subsistence level…farming a bit and relying on the breadwinning member of the family to go to work in a call center in Delhi or Chandigargh or Bangalore or some other such urban state of congestion…

As an American in India, I haven’t had that option and not being a trust fund recipient (at least as far as I know)…so…what to do???

Enter the amazing internet!

Online income has evolved to the point where it’s now an entirely viable option and so I’ve been studying and researching and learning and have surveyed a number of options…

So, for those of you who are interested in exploring the waters of passive online income via a web-based business and aren’t interested in dumping boatloads of cash into the research and development necessary to climb the steep learning curve (I’ve already done that) here’s a super affordable (as in it costs less that two tickets to the latest Imax 3D version of Alice in Wonderland) option I’d like to share with you….

Wasting Time Exquisitely
by
Bente Mirow

Once upon a time, long ago, people controlled time.
Once upon a time now, time controls people.

In the Then, people could make time stand still – or make it flow with their own rhythm.

In the now, Time is our master. It rules us with a firm hand, keeping us trapped in its’ demands, while our time managers keep us in line so that we never forget what we must do next.

When time belonged to the people, they filled it with frivolous play and time became the present moment. The more they did so, the smarter they were considered and the smarter they knew they were becoming.

As the people became slaves of the time they counted, they lost the Now and the playing associated with now became a “waste of time” – filled with guilt…with an awareness of what one could or should be doing.

As if we could ever waste our time.

There is no such thing as wasting time; it cannot be wasted. It is not for us to waste or throw away, but only to live in, live through and experience.

So once upon that time long ago, the people knew how to play. And work was playful, as life was not divided into work as opposed to play.

In our time work and play have become loaded with opposite symbols – work=negative, play=positive. The tension between the two seems to increase rapidly as the electronic age enables us to do so much more in so much less time. We run like rats in a never-ending spinning wheel, never stopping to check where we are, where we are going or why we run.

Four centuries ago, a belief system started to emerge based on the idea that human beings’ ultimate purpose was to work. Work became a duty, and such work was measured in time. As we cannot play out of duty, it became a sin and a waste of time and money to play.

Slowly, over time, people re-defined the meanings of time and work. As work was transformed from the life we live to the time we get paid, the measurement of time worked determined the value. The measured time was transformed to an economy, running us all, as the yardstick of our lives’ worth.

As the minutes are counted and slipping into the past, our every effort or activity is directed toward the production of something or nothing, around the clock, by people everywhere – Work.

But in the grey zone, full of light, exists the exception – when a person’s work is also a calling, and the measuring of its’ time makes no difference in the effort spent. When work aligns within a person as his or her calling, Time evaporates as the work is done according to its’ own merit. The personal calling allows time and work to blend, as a life lived. Definitions blur and become unnecessary as the calling allows the blissful state of play in the Now to swallow measures and yardsticks, leaving them as empty shells devoid of meaning.

So once upon today, people know how to work. We define our life activities as work: relationships are ‘hard work’, giving birth is a ‘job’, cooking is a ‘chore’.

When we evaluate our time as spent well or poorly, efficiently or wastefully, we are applying our own value system to the activities with which we fill our time and life.

Perhaps each of us can change the value of our time by simply re-defining our value system. Each time we cook, we can consider it a calling – a work of art to design, execute and present to perfection-our perfection. Each time we do the dishes, we can experience it as a cleansing ritual, allowing us time to breathe and touch the tools of our private art studio-our kitchen.

We can make our work a calling and our life a play. Developing an awareness of what we do and an ignorance of the time it takes. Everything takes the time it needs, Now.

We can shift our attention and think of the pauses in between the notes where the music happens as applied to our lives. The moments you are engaged in nothing (or nothing of apparent ‘value’) – playing or being, are when your thoughts go to work all by themselves and send you signals of insights, peace and compassion. Not a new thought by any stretch, yet how many of us apply such knowledge?

Time belongs to us in such moments, the one and only Now, and such moments are pregnant with potential for personal bliss. So why not waste time deliciously and exquisitely and call it neither work nor play, but Life?

As James Walker once said: “Counting time is not so important as making time count.”

Water, Geometric Progressions, and the iPad (not necessarily in that order)

Posted by John Crutchfield on February 11, 2010

Aloha

Today is the 11th of February 2010. Wow! Amazing 2010 is here and moving on with the speed of a lead-filled luge on a frozen Himalayan hillside…

I love the fact that here we are already one decade into the 21st century and picking up speed and intensity. For many this can be attributed to the geometric progression that is life in general ( o.k. for those not familiar with the term…and I have to say that I mean geometric as exponential expression of life….With exponential growth at a constant rate note that, for each successive period of time, the absolute increase constantly doubles.
The same does not apply to the linear growth model. That is why I feel justified in stating that population doubling “leads to” exponential growth. However, perhaps a better way of expressing this is to say that the nature of exponential growth is more accurately represented by the population doubling series. The nature of linear growth is more accurately represented by a linear series.
e is the key
A key difference between linear growth (simple interest) and exponential growth (compound interest) relates to the number e defined as a limit, which is explored in brief in Simple and Compound Interest and The General Situation (from Answers and Explanations, Mathematics Network, University Of Toronto, Canada (1997).
As described in the Academic Press (Daily Insight) in “Math Buffs Find an Easier e” (1998):
“For both bankers and bugs, e describes a basic limit to exponential growth. For example, if you invested $1 at 100% interest, compounded monthly you would have $2.61 at year’s end. If the interest is compounded every 30 seconds, you would end up with about a dime more. No matter how frequently you earned interest, you would never take home more than e multiplied by the number of dollars you first deposited.”
In short, e effectively defines the difference between linear growth and exponential growth.
The constant of proportionality
One last feature of exponential growth at a constant rate was eloquently summed up by Malthus himself:
“A thousand millions are just as easily doubled every twenty-five years by the power of population as a thousand.”

(I want to thank http://members.optusnet.com.au/exponentialist/Linear_Vs_Exponential.htm for the above explanation)

This can be easily explained: an arithmetic progression can be described as 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+1=4 etc.
Whereas a geometric (exponential) progression can be described as 1×1=1, 2×2=4, 3×3=9, 4×4=16, etc.
See how the numbers increase more rapidly per equation in the ones using the ‘x’ vs. the equations using the ‘+’?
That’s what I’m talking about here!

Life being exponential produces resulte which grow rapidly in number and intensity.

This is why Einstein is often quoted as saying that in his estimate the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest (as anyone with a credit card who has a running unpaid balance can testify!)

Anyway, my point was actually to simply remark that things seem to be speeding up and densifying (i.e. more of everything-stuff, people, ideas, info, etc.)
And I like it. “Hang on to your hats, folks, because the ride with most probably increase in speeding up!” According to many scientists, we’ve not gone over the edge of this rollercoaster ride as of yet, but we’re getting closer each moment.

This brings me to a cool thing which I came across this morning….

On Dr. Mercola’s site which, by the way often has some very cool info in addition to a ton of sensible & positive health advice there was a video describing a new gadget by a company based in Sweden known as Bonnier and called a ‘Mag+’.
Check it out here by pasting this link in a new browser window or tab:

http://tinyurl.com/ybhzap7

Come on back here to read more….(if you’re not in a new window there’s always the trusty back button in your browser…)

O.k. there are a few more things to address this morning and the number one thing is H2O.

Yup, that’s right water!

We could talk and write for the next year and still ot cover this most important subject to human life…

But, what I want to do right now is to just begin to scratch the surface of the necessity of water for daily life and specifically to encourage us all to drink a bunch everyday…

How this fits together with the previous posts is that we’re building an toolbox of approaches to life which are intended to result in a higher quality of mental, physical, emotional, (how about financial?) and hopefully spiritual wellbeing.

So I discussed briefly in an earlier post the importance of awareness to learning and improving literally anything…a few of the components of learning being awareness, memory, assesment and choice….

There are tons of books out in the world today describing the importance of water to the basic functioning of the human body my favorite being, “Your Body’s Many Cries For Water” by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D

On his website he says, “Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move your body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water.
Our health is truly dependent on the quality and quantity of the water we drink.”
“ Dr. B’s pioneering work shows that Unintentional Chronic Dehydration (UCD) contributes to and even produces pain and many degenerative diseases that can be prevented and treated by increasing water intake on a regular basis.”

Also, consider this: the human brain is an enormous biochemical electric organ. And we all know that water is a super conductor of electricity (remember not to stand in the bathtub when holding on to an electric cord?)
So there is a growing body of evidence that increasing our water intake can also contribute to more efficient brain functioning (footnote forthcoming.)
So what does all this mean to us and how can we use it today to get more bang for our buck?

Well, basically begin to increase your daily water intake to include an average of 1.5-2 quarts/liters of pure water. That means filtered water, NOT tap water (all due respect for our benevolent government sources and their chlorination/fluoridation actions.) Juice, teas (herbal/caffeinated), coffee, sodas, alcoholic drinks are extra….
2liters H2O/day is the goal….

If all you can afford at the moment is tap water, go for it. However, please be advised that chlorine (added to most, if not all of municipal water souces in USA and many places elsewhere) is a poison designed to killed bacteria, etc. This is a good thing. However, it also kills humans, builds up in the human body and is even nasty for the human skin bonding with the oils of the skin and washing them off (hence the dry skin we feel after showering…heck! I thought it was living in the Los Angeles air that was doing it to me until I got a chlorine shower filter and 3 days after using it never needed lotion again…)

So, point is, find some way to filter the chlorine out of the water you drink…I’ll be happy to do an article in the future on water filters (I don’t sell any at the moment) if anyone’s interested.

Got some thinking to do? Drink a glass of water and watch your thinking clear up a bit. Water enhances the brain activity by facilitating synaptic activity (i.e. the electro-chemical communication process of our brain.)

Need some energy? Drink a glass of water.
Hungry? First drink a glass of water then wait a few minutes before choosing what you want to eat.

Stressed? Drink a glass of water.

Emotionally agitated/disturbed? Drink a glass of water. Take some time to simply breathe and observe your body.

Confused? Drink some water.

To clear here, water is not a panacea/cure-all. However, as the major ingredient of our bodies and a main component to our bodies’ systems’ optional functioning, it’s good to have ‘all hands on deck’ as it were when we want to have a decent chance at creating a happy life.

What I do to encourage myself to drink 2 liters of water each day is to fill up 2-one liter bottles with water and carry them around with me wherever I go. Everytime I have a moment (waiting at a stop light while driving, for example) I pop open the bottle and swallow some water…

I have to say that, originally I was not someone who liked or even thought about drinking water…I’ve gone days in the past without even so much as a passing thought that I was thirsty (maybe even weeks)…So, now knowing what I know, I’ve devised a few strategies to encourage myself to drink more water….

One was to have 4-16oz plastic bottles which I filled with water each day and then set up around me at varioun strategic locations (on the kitchen sink, in the bathroom, on my desk, in the car, even in the middle of the doorway on the floor if I hadn’t been successful in drinking it by any other means) to be consumed before
sleeping….(kind of like target practice and shooting cans off a fence.)

Another has been to commit to taking a drink of water everytime I even so much as think about anything liquid (the clouds, the ocean, rain, rivers, the saliva in my mouth, tears, etc.)

Another was to drink water while I was warming up my car to go somewhere.

As I mentioned above, at the present, I carry 2 glass 1 liter bottles of water wherever I go and evertime I even look at them or touch them, if I can, I take a drink of water.

So, the message for today is that water is our friend!

Thanks for being!

Now must go!

Posted by John Crutchfield on January 30, 2010

O.K. I’m in a mood of just dancing with the Great Whatever.

At this point, I’m happy to dance with y’all regarding one of my burning passions which is the subject of, “How can I create whatever it is that I want faster and with more certainty?”

We can chat about that for a bit.

For the present, let’s begin with Infinity.

Seeing as how there really seems to be absolutely no absolutes in this particular world (or Universe or corner of the Universe or some other term with which you might feel most comfortable) we would best come to terms with the concept of Infinity.

To explain it in some broad brush strokes could be to say that basically-from this moment further,  due to the inherent constant in the equation of Reality ( constant = Infinity) – All bets are off!

Think about it- the moment we factor Inifinity as a constant into the equation-the only thing which is certain is change/flow/flux/movement/process….

When you think about it, the most certain thing regarding this very moment is that in a short while, things will be different…

ergo

Infinity rules!

ergo

Anything is possible.

Additionally, all experiences are also at their basic roots, a personal affair and might not be repeatable/reproduce-able due to the individual nature of human awareness/consciousness.

In other words, this  very moment might just be a one-off–a soloton/a singularity…

Things might also be so individualized that each perspective (i.e. each humans version of perceiving the Universe), while it might share its’ perspective with one or more other individuals, is at its’ own  foundation, an individual consciousness’ attempts at making sense of the energy it experiences as energy flows in the Universe and as such, completely unique in all aspects.

Since we live in an infinite universe, there exist infinite possibilities and as such, infinite perspectives, from familiar to entirely alien and foreign…everything in between and everything beyond-in all directions.

There also exist infinite experiential strata within each universe. Which is why, when we look for patterns, we see everything which is in the macrocosm duplicated in the microcosm…..should we speak of Hermes Trismgistus and the Kybalion here? This is definitely the sort of view when two mirrors face each other. Yet another expression of Infinity.

Bottom line is that considering these things, it’s rather amazing and miraculous that I can meet a friend for dinner and we can each believe/experience 100% that we’re having dinner at the same restaurant!

To bring this back home: Here we are in this particular universe which includes me writing and y’all out there reading and commenting.
That’s cool! It might just be Sandi (first comment, first post) or the Spanish-writing dude (or was he some sort of highly evolved spam program?) Whoever it is, it’s awesome because it’s all in the world of, “If a tree falls in the forest etc.?…” and when people comment, I don’t have to wonder about the tree and it’s so-called sound….

Thanks for reading & commenting! I do appreciate it.

I’m concerned here with the questions of the creation of health, wealth, abundance, manifestation, manifesting our dreams or desires, passive income, prosperity, increasing our intelligence, optimizing our brain capabilities, maximizing our creativity, creating true love throughout our daily lives, true wealth, deep and lasting connections with others we love to be around, among other ideas which flow freely through my filters……wow, I could go on for a very long time listing nice things to focus on creating…maybe that’s why we’re connecting- in  order to spread out the payload as it were….with more people involved in actively and intentionally creating things, we can distribute the ideas and create more cool things faster!

Hmmmm…..

I’m thinking of the quote from the King James version of the Christian Bible which reads (Jesus speaking), “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” I always thought it meant that Jesus was talking about Himself as Infinity embodied. Which then meant to me that when two or more focus on the same thing, Infinity rules. This was the reasoning which I always used to explain the miraculous energy and power in groups or marriages, partnerships, etc…

Any other ideas?

I need to attend to another world at this point. As Carlos Castenada would report, his teacher Jaun Matus would often say, “I have an appointment with Infinity.”  As do we all in the Present Moment.

I’ll check spelling tomorrow…Thanks for tuning in…

Let the games begin!

Talley Ho!

Peace & Love
