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

Hi Everyone!
OK
So it’s been….how many days/weeks/etc. since I posted? Hmmm….well
The best thing I can say to that is…Here is now and now is here.
And so, on with the answer to the last posting’s question:
Q: What is one thing common to every spiritual practice, religion, and miracle on planet earth?
And….the answer is………
A: Awareness!
For example, I’m aware right now that I’m feeling a collection (or pattern) of sensory data (or ‘feelings’) in certain areas of my body and my name for this pattern of feelings I would call, a combo of anxious and irritable.
Now I recall first being distracted by these feelings earlier after thinking about a bad story about myself where I was a total loser because it’s been ‘so long’ since I posted last and having had a lot of experience in self-criticism it began to degrade into a downwards spiral beginning with:
“Speaking of awareness, are you aware that it’s been nearly x weeks since the last post?”blah, blah, blah, bad, worse, impossibly worse, etc.…
You know how it goes….I call it,
The Bummer Mantra…otherwise known as “Everything’s Wrong”
Which is kind of the opposite of that buddhist chant which goes:
Gate Gate
Paramgate
Parasamgate
Bodhisvaha!
(rough English translation:
Gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone to the Other Shore,
All praises to the attaining of the Other Shore whilst having never left! )
I also like, “Gone, Gone, Beyond the beyond, further than beyond, Hail the goer!”
Anyway, the Bummer Mantra is not a feeling anyway, but thought or a concept… So, let me get back on track to observing those body feelings…
Writing about them tends to attract my attention to them and, as usual, after I observe some feeling for a short or medium while, it usually dissolves (such is the fleeting nature of physical sensation.) And so those feelings have pretty much dispersed and now I can move on with what I’m interested in telling you….which is about a few things regarding awareness.
So what about Awareness?
A fundamental key to learning anything, Awareness (as in Self-Awareness or Self-Observation) is the doorway to the direction of what you want to be/do/have.
Many of us don’t think often or consciously about questions like, “How do we learn?” “Can we learn faster (as in instantaneously?)” “Is there an easier way to do this?”, etc.
However, this is one of the oldest & simplest approaches to personal growth/self-improvement.
Often our success lies in asking the right questions.
For example simply paying attention to the present moment and all it includes can actually afford one with an excellent appraoch to absolutely anything!
Try it..right now…it’s reALLy simple & EASY!
Here’s how (aka The Awareness Game) :
Breathe in and out 2 rimes and then on number 3 relax/release all your muscles (as much as you can) as you’re exhaling….
Do this again two more times. In & Out/relax/release. In & Out/relax/release.
Now “take a tour of your body”, so to speak, scanning/observing your body from the top or the head to the soles of the feet…or any section or area you like in the time you make available to play the Awareness Game.
Do this often for short periods of time (1 minute or less) throughout the day. Just as a way to be in the moment as it were. To be present with your body and any unconscious thing you might be doing unintentionally such as hunching your shoulders when you’re typing on a computer, or crunching your shoulder to hold the telephone to your ear while you do something else with your hand (write/shuffle parpers/etc.)
Fact:
Any time, somenwhere on this planet, someone is practicing/experiencing self-awareness.
When we do the same (practice self-observation) we are joining with our family of humans in this endeavor and contributing energy and momentum to the overall growth fractal and evolution of the human species. This is good.
Today’s new motto::
“Things go better with growth!”
I’ll be continuing this subject in the next post.
In the meantime, please post any thoughts you might have on this and we can all benefit.
Update on the DVD project:
Currently I have what’s come to be called a “World School” edit of the DVD which is all of the instructional content on the Foot Freedom Self-Reliant Foot Massage DVD plus a number of references to the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts in northern California interspersed throughout the video. This works fine for the World School bookstore, but for the rest of the earth, I need to edit it so that the final version is essentially neutral (no references to specific businesses) and can therefore be in anyone’s bookstore/website/dr’s office/spa/etc.
To that end I’ve been in the process of acquiring the software to edit the project (I’m really committed to the self-reliance aspect of this particular project.) The good news is that it’s almost here and should be ready within the month. This is super exciting to me! I can see it on the horizon and it’s getting closer each day!!!
I’ll keep you posted on the progress as it develops.
O.K. Let’s all pause for a moment, take a few breaths and scan our shoulders and spine areas. Can we relax anything any more than it already is when we exhale each time right now??
That’s it for now….on with the show…and more later.
Peace & Love
