– Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 = -6˚C / +20˚F & snowing lightly in Atlantic Canada @ 1:34 pm Atlantic Time – On my Cousin Rick’s Birthday –

- iMiJ -

– “A clean Desk is a sure symptom of a Sick Mind” 🙂 – I tried to smile, one of my favourite cousins keeps accusing me of never smiling. –

— Yesterday I was overwhelmed by the amount of both positive and Not so Positive information blasting into my mind, and Soul? – I felt like I was going to be sick and went back to bed after the love of my life came home from work – She’s been working on Vancouver Time since a landslide blocked a west coast river and the salmon that ‘First Nations’ {{ Canadian Version of ‘Native Americans’ }} depend on for their food could not get up that river to lay their eggs and feed the people { and Bears } who depend on them. – It’s her job to get things going in situations like this to make sure the right people are contacted to make emergencies go away. She hasn’t been appreciated by morons that would rather hire idiots from the Department of Defence up here & give them jobs that they are not qualified to fill and haven’t a clue about how to do things within the laws they’re supposed to respect and obey – She will retire in six months and the stupidity she’s had to put up with will be somebody else’s problem. I conked right out and woke up at three something am ( Atlantic time – that’s like 2 am Eastern Time } – with a definite feeling like the dark side had tried to blast me with a strong message that their side had won and there was nothing anybody could do to stop a new dark age from beginning and turning us all into slaves of their evil intentions.

— I woke all the way up, feeling like I was almost positive that some evil idiotic dark force had tried to convince me with a forceful lie. I turned my head and could not see the person I never felt comfortable calling anything as two dimensional and limiting as ‘my wife’ – sleeping next to me. I thought maybe she’d fallen asleep on the couch and got up, walked to the living room, & Nope, she wasn’t there – walked back down the hall and there she was – sound asleep and nice and warm under several blankets.

— I plunked down in a recliner in the living room, watched an episode of the least obnoxious Disney Channel offering I could find – and then felt brave and went to YouTube and watched a couple shorts and an interview with somebody who’s posted the most positive, hopeful forecasting video blog posts I’ve stumbled across. & It looked like she’d been blasted by negative energy yesterday too – and her take was that what hit us is like the last gasp of a very scared dark side that knows it’s losing all its power over us and wants to convince us that our efforts to create a positive future for the human race are in vain.

— I fell asleep and dreamed I was somebody in Los Angeles next August – a younger guy whose girl friend was worried because her younger brother had gotten hold of an app with his ‘Smart Phone’ that allowed him to teleport and she was afraid he’d teleported himself somewhere he couldn’t get back from – We both download that app and tried it out and found that it was full of glitches, We tried to teleport from ‘my’ apartment to her family home and she got there in 2014, and I got there in 2025 – She told me her family house, which had been repainted in 2017 was back to its old colour scheme, white with light blue trim and shutters. and instead of the mailbox on the porch, there was an RFD mailbox at the edge of the driveway. My Smart phone told me I was five feet South of her but she couldn’t see me. Our Phones had no problem connecting to each other’s phones. I asked her to check her time and date. She said she’d entered what I’d entered, and she was there at 1:15 pm August 3rd, 2014 – and said she knew she’d entered “2025” – I tried again to get to her, reprogrammed the app’s coordinates and popped back in time and told her I’d ended up south of the RFD mailbox on March 8th, 2014, at 11:15 am.  I suggested that she take at least four steps north so when I tried to correct the settings on my smart phone I wouldn’t try to materialize inside her. { I had an iPhone, she had an Android phone } She said “okay,” – I entered the corrected information and got to her side a couple seconds before she realized I was there –

— We saw smoke and realized a wildfire was coming down a hill about half a mile up the street.

— She called her brother, woke him up, told him to look out his window, he did, and he said something like “Holy Shit!” She told him to get dressed and grab his evacuation kit.

— She called the fire department and told them about the wild fire coming toward her family home, gave them the address and heard the person who’d answered her call say, “How the hell could you be calling twice at the same time, from the same caller ID?” She shrugged, said, “I have no idea.”

— We walked to the front porch and waited. Her brother came out onto the porch with a soft fabric suitcase that was bulging with a change of clothes and snack food and his laptop computer. We could see him, he couldn’t see us. He was eleven years younger than she thought he would be.

— I whispered in her ear that we must have teleported into a parallel world.

— Her brother looked around in a panic, said, “Where the hell are you?”

— I blurted out, “We came from the future, we must be cloaked.”

— Her brother looked like he went into shock, his mouth was moving, but he couldn’t say a word.

— His sister hugged him, said, “I’m right here-”

— He relaxed, said, “I can feel that – wow.”

— I Hugged them both, said a silent prayer and tried to program my iPhone to teleport us to where I thought I had been on August 8th, 2014. and we teleported to a sign that said Laguna Beach. we Walked to my old pickup truck with its pickup cap that would halve been locked, but I still had a key for it – I texted my old phone number and used a pseudonym to tell my younger self that I was his uncle and asked where he was,

— My younger self texted back, said he was at Laguna Beach { I don’t even know if that is a real place or something I made up } and he’d just broken up with Debby, my girlfriend back then, { she broke up with me like in December of that year. }

— I texted him back, said, “Get to your future wife’s house right now and save her life -” and gave him the address of the house that was in danger of going up in flames.

— My 2025 girlfriend, Her brother, me, – we climbed into the back of the pickup truck and closed the back door to the pickup cap. And we hid there.

— My younger self came running and jumped into his truck, started the engine and drove like a maniac out of that parking lot. I think it took him about twenty minutes to drive to he address I gave him and he parked north of the RFD Mail Box, that my girlfriend thought should have taken at least 45 minutes, in extremely light traffic. My younger self was dodging and sliding in and out of anything but light traffic.

— My Girlfriend’s brother quietly opened the back of the pickup cap and jumped out, walked up beside my younger self.

— A traffic control cop walked up to them and said “Who are you and why did you cross our police line?”

— My younger self said, “What Police line, I didn’t see any police line.” –  And my girlfriend’s brother pointed to his home said, “I live here.”

— A Fire Marshall or chief came over and told the cop, “It’s under control, weirdest thing I ever heard of, our switchboard got two calls at once from the same number and when we recorded them one of those calls was time stamped in the year 2025.

— The cop turned to my girlfriend’s brother, said, “We knocked on your door and nobody was home.”

— Her brother laughed, “Of course not – I was down the street at a friend’s house.” He patted my younger self’s back.

— My girlfriend’s younger self showed up driving a Miata  and pulled into the driveway, jumped out and watched the fire fighters putting out the embers while smoke and steam rose at least three hundred yards away –

— The Fire Marshal watched my girlfriend’s younger self walk up to her brother and hug him, and say, “I tried to call you, you didn’t answer -”

— The Fire Marshall asked my girlfriend’s younger self, “You live here?”

— She nodded.

— “You were one of the two calls we got saying this house was in danger from a wild fire?”

— She nodded and said, “Yeah, I was at work –  I had a weird feeling and checked our security cameras and saw the smoke and called the emergency number.”

— The Fire Marshall asked, “Can you show me your phone?”

— She nodded, had her phone in her hand, showed it to him.

— He nodded, “Okay – that’s today’s date. Our Switchboard reported two simultaneous calls from the same phone number, one of them had today’s time stamp the other was time stamped ‘2025’-”

— She looked very confused, shook her head, said, “I can’t do that -”

— “Both callers gave the same name and they tested the voice prints and they matched.”

— She shook her head, “Beats the hell out of me -”

— The 2025 me and my 2025 girlfriend quietly climbed out of the back of my old pickup truck and closed the cap and could not see ourselves reflected in the pickup’s highly polished paint job.

— My younger self was gazing at my girlfriend’s younger self in shock.

— My girlfriend’s younger self turned to my younger self and laughed, asked her brother, “Who’s your friend?”

— Her brother shrugged.

— My younger self showed them his iPhone with the message I’d sent claiming to be his uncle, that told him that he had to go to that address to save his future wife’s life.

— My Girlfriend’s younger self laughed, shook her head, asked, “Who’s your uncle?”

— My younger self shrugged, shook his head, “I have no idea -”

— She laughed, blushed, hugged him and kissed his cheek.

— He blushed and kissed her cheek.

— She shook her head, smiled at him and said, “I don’t think things could get any weirder today,” sighed and shook her head again, “So – Why don’t you give us a ride down town and hit my favourite taco stand and buy my brother and me the cheapest and best first date food I can imagine..”

— My 2025 girlfriend put her arm around my shoulders, kissed me and said, “Well, That’s different -”

—Her brother picked up the suitcase he’d left on the lawn near the RFD mailbox and tried to put it in the back of the pickup, but the door was locked.

— My younger self unlocked the back door to the cap and let him put the suitcase in the back –  then closed the door and checked to be sure it locked itself.

— My younger self walked to the pickup’s passenger’s door, unlocked and opened it –  my younger girlfriend climbed in and sat sideways – like between the front bucket seats, Her brother climbed in and my younger self closed the door. He walked around. opened his door, climbed in, pointed to his floor shift, blushed, said, “Uh, if I have to shift, – Um, I won’t be trying to get fresh with you.”

— She blushed, giggled, “Oh darn, I hoped this was going to be more fun than I’ve had in ages.”

— My younger self blushed and started the engine, shifted into reverse, backed up, stopped, shifted again, did a cub to curb turn and drove around invisible me and my invisible girlfriend.

— My invisible girlfriend programmed her phone and hugged me and teleported us to a house on the beach that I’d never seen before, moved a flower pot, picked up a key, moved the flowerpot back in place, and walked to the back door, where I could see our reflections in the glass upper part of the door. She smiled, “I’m too tired to try to teleport back to 2025 – if anything goes wrong, I think I’ll just collapse and cry helplessly – ”

— I nodded.

— Once we were inside, she looked around, smiled, “My parents said they were going to give me this beach house as a wedding present, but when I broke my engagement to the asshole I almost married, they sold the place to some Hollywood newcomer -” She had us pose, took a selfie of the two of us kissing and walked to a colour printer, plugged her phone into a laptop’s USB and downloaded the photo, printed it and left it on the printer. with the 2025 time stamp plainly visible, laughed, “Let them try to figure that one out – and she raided the refrigerator, made us sandwiches, made some coffee, and we plunked down and ate them, turned on the television and watched the news.We both fell asleep and woke up around ten o’clock pm. She turned the television off and turned the radio on and we heard the opening music to ‘Coast To Coast AM.’

— I did not recognize the programme’s host. as he said, “You’re not going to believe this, we got a call just a few minutes ago from a first responder and listen to this, – “Hello – who am I speaking with”

— “Hello- Thanks for taking my call, My name is Anthony Rodriguez – I’m a switchboard operator at the Los Angeles County Emergency call line, and we got two simultaneous calls from the same phone number today – both with the same voice, and we record all our calls, I got one call and Carrie Holiway got the other one – the same voice gave us the same address and in slightly different words told us that a wild fire was roaring down a hill in North Los Angeles and threatening her house and possibly her brother’s life – we relayed the information to the appropriate fire station and they dispatched every truck they had, they got there and put the fire out before it reached any of the houses on that street. And when we looked at the calls that were automatically logged in and time stamped, they both had the same time and day, but one of them had this year’s time and date stamp and the other one was date stamped in 2025.”

— The host laughed, “So I guess Los Angeles will still be here in 2025, right?”

— “By God, I hope so – And another thing – these weird looking guys with government I.D.s showed up, and told us this never happened and we wouldn’t remember it anyway and tried to do something that I guess was supposed to wipe our memories, but it didn’t work – A friend of mine blamed their equipment failure on today’s solar flares -”

— The host asked, “Were there solar flares today? We didn’t hear anything about that – Usually we get a call from one of our regular spies at the State agency that keeps their eyes and ears peeled for solar flare activity -”

— The caller sounded like he laughed a nervous laugh, “All I know I my friend told me there were solar flares today, and I believed him.”

— “Well, we’ll have to look into that, won’t we? Thank you so much for calling.”

= = = = =

— I woke up around nine am and felt a lot better, a lot more optimistic than when I drifted off into sleep – Best Guess? That dream might have taken fifteen minutes or less – But it felt like I’d spent five or six hours believing I was that guy interacting with his girl friend in Los Angeles, where, by the way, I have never been in this life –

Happy Holidays!

– Wednesday, December 25th, 2024 – -8˚C / +17˚F = Cloudy, with traces of flurries still falling @ 01:04 am Atlantic Time in New Brunswick, Canada.

Security Cam Photo @ 00:11 am 12/25/2024

-“00:11 am December 25, 2024 + Security Camera Monitor Photo” –

— Security Camera Monitor photo taken at eleven minutes after midnight – The weather app said “Cloudy” – but we’re still getting light flurries. – The “LST 651” on the top right, sitting on the shelf above the monitor – was one of several my father made using plastic cut to size and needle point with yarn, and a lot of four letter ‘magic words’ that turned the air blue every time he missed a stitch or made any other kind of mistakes in the process. He made a bunch of them for the reunion of his World War II shipmates on the LST he served on in the Pacific, including Okinawa, where he ferried a lot of Marines ashore, piloting smaller landing craft back and forth under heavy fire, during the horribly messy fighting there – and we know a lot of those Marines never came back. His needle point LSTs were center pieces on tables where the survivors sat for dinner at their reuinion that year, which was probably one of the last reunions that group had.  { Not exactly the happiest thing to post on a Holiday that supposedly celebrates life and spiritual salvation for us earthbound humans, even if the holiday replaced a Roman Holiday that didn’t exactly celebrate wonderful Christian values. But then – too much of what we hear these days coming from supposedly wonderfully religious Christian mouths isn’t exactly wonderfully spiritually uplifting stuff that Christ let Himself be tortured and killed to spread to the world as a message of encouragement and hope – ya think?)

"our Christmas Tree and presents"

-“Our Christmas Tree this year, and the modest presents beneath and/or around it.”-

— We haven’t exactly felt like celebrating anything in the last couple Holiday seasons, but this year when Cathi thought we should do something a little more cheerful for ourselves and to hopefully spread cheer to her daughter and her daughter’s husband – I said that I could probably afford a small artificial tree that we wouldn’t be allergic to and she said, “No-” she knew we had something already that would fit the theme and yeah, it even had small LED lights in place and she had a couple ornaments with special meaning to her that made their way onto the tree and we didn’t go crazy getting each other presents, but we did more than enough to keep the spirit glowing.

— I have no idea how this is going to format when I push the ‘Publish” button, so I’ll stop here and see how it looks.

Monday – July 9th – 2024 –

– Monday, July 9th, 2024 —> +27˚C / +80˚F & Cloudy @ 4:25 pm Atlantic time in New Brunswick Canada —> Happy Birthday, Erin, Alex, Kyla, Drucine, Martha and anyone I forgot to mention. 😐

Smoke Tree in Morning Sunlight

– ” Smoke Tree In Morning Sunlight – When we first moved here and I asked a person in a roadside flower and tree shop if they had any Smoke Trees – they looked at me like, ‘What the hell planet are you from?’ -” –

— The smoke tree is just below the vertical middle line and all the way to the right = against the back of the building.

— I’ve been hacked and spoofed a couple times too many on ‘Effbook’ – Don’t try to contact me there – If you’ve got my email with the dot org, dot net, or dot ca, go there – The only time I’m really on facebook is when one of my family members yells at me and wants me there for some specific reason. I have an extended family – You’re probably a member. 🙂

12 Neighbours Eff-book Header

– “12 Neighbours Community” – ‘Eff-Book’ Header’ –

• The 12 Neighbours Community has an “Eff-book” presence @ https://www.facebook.com/12Neighbours/
• The “12 Neighbours Community” in the photo that should be above this – was concieved of by a local millionaire as a means to not only make sure homeless people have a warm and safe “tiny home” as a place to live, but a supportive network of people around them. The community with 96 tiny homes – grouped into smaller clusters of 12 tiny homes each – is located on a main-ish road { “Two Nations Road” } which, I believe, is through “First Nations Land” { the Canadian version of “Native American Sovereign Territory” } – And along with the 96 tiny homes is a larger building with rooms/apartments for once homeless people who are more comfortable with apartment living than private home living. AND the Community Centre in that larger building has rooms for meetings and class rooms AND a restaurant “Neighbourly Coffee” where the residents of the 12 Neighbours Community can find ‘gainful supportive/nurturing caring employment’. PLUS some of the earliest residents when there were only a handful of tiny homes there – had a hand in constructing the rest of the tiny homes there, and they are building more tiny homes that will be for sale – { I don’t know how much they will cost, but I love that idea. I really like the idea that this community is based on.
• Meanwhile – the ice-hole conservatives in the New Brunswick provincial government have weakened the laws that were put in place to protect renters and fought bills that would in any way weaken landlords’ rights to raise the rent to insanely high prices and evict tennants from low income housing, demolish the existing buildings and put up high priced, high end high rise condo type apartments. Calling these political conservatives “Beedy Grastards” up here is an exercise in stretching ‘redundant’ beyond the limits of reason.
• Also Meanwhile like : We’re getting spam phone calls from National Conservative Party shills asking us if they can count on our support at a rally featuring the Beedy Grastard who has been demonizing anything ‘Liberal’ and trying to convince voters that if they don’t elect a majority Conservative ‘Government’ in the next elections Canada will become a totalitarian ’Socialist’ State complete with Gulags and taxes @ something like 5,000% beyond ridiculous.
• AND the love of my life and I cannot understand why so many people have been duped into voting for the Beedy Grastards who promise “Tax Cuts” in every election – and deliver tax cuts to the richest beedy grastards in this country and deliver cuts in services to everybody else. Time for a heavy metal version of “When will they ever learn” ?
• Ya think the greedy will realize how badly they ‘Fupped Up’ only after the working public they screwed out of decent paying jobs can no longer afford to pay for their shoddy merchandise and they all go bankrupt financially? Instead of just being bankrupt spiritually and philosophically like they have been all along?
• Schnarr!

Notes Along The Way To A Possible Future?

Xhyrean & Corrie In Keltic Vale Near Border

– “Xhyrean & Corrie in Keltic Vale – Near the border with Del-Vahria & Near the inland Seaport

— Don’t believe everything, or anything, I say is God’s Ultimate Honest Truth  – Test my findings – Population figures today estimate there are 7.88+ Billion human beings on this planet. If that is true – Then there are 7.88+ Billion paths to God and Heaven —> which, we have been told, is our ultimate destination, the ultimate purpose of life and the reason for the existence of this universe, and any other universes that are out there.

— I’ve been involved in Raja Yoga since 1972 – Raja Yoga is the Spiritual practice.

— I guess a large part of my philosophy toward life is a rewrite/edit? of a poem written by a Buddhist woman – when I find her name I’ll give her credit – but I’ve moved around a lot and I lost too many notes and recordings – so:

Nirvana Dharma

Nine Billion roads to Nirvana
And too many believe they know the only way
Do your Dharma - Do your Best
Let others argue and confuse themselves to death
{ A re written poem by a Buddhist Nun - When I find her name again I'll give her credit here }

 

Yoga Master + Fredericton

– “Yoga Master Meditating with Fredericton, New Brunswick in Winter Background” –

 

— I start my Yoga exercises with a Prayer I modified from a prayer suggested by the Gurus and teachers who founded and now continue the teachings of the ‘School’ of Yoga I joined in 1972 – I don’t expect or want anyone to love, hate, mock or embrace this prayer – & I’m not bragging – I’m just using this as an example of what I’ve come to embrace and ‘see’ the various universes these Gurus and students investigated and tell us beginners is what Creation is all about & what it ‘looks like’.

— Prayer before Breathing Exercises { If your brain doesn’t get enough oxygen it sends out signals that equal depression – Everything seems worse if your brain is starving for oxygen. }

—> “Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, Constant Friend, Eternal Beloved: – God – in all Your Shapes, Forms, Names, And Disguises — May the air we breathe remind us of You, Connect us to You, Realign us with You, and Reunite us with You – Thank You – Aum – Shanti – Amen”

—> {  I sometimes alter the “May the air we breathe” to “May every breath we breathe -” —>  & I’ve had intense surprises while doing the breathing exercises I’ve been taught – Saw what friends were doing at something like 150 to 250 miles away – saw them in person, saw every detail, every gesture, the way they were smiling – Breathing air on this planet might be the thing that disrupts our Spiritual Aspirations the most – but I have also seen white light coming at me and heard a ‘ticking’ sound – wondered if I was about to pass out and then felt energy surge through me – And some Yogis and other positive minded mystics have reported that we begin our existence as part of God, Connected to the Heart and Mind of God – and While I haven’t experienced absolute proof of that – I took that on faith and included “May every breath we breathe re-unite us with You-” –  }

"Corporations" defined - Ambrose Bierce

– “Corporations” As defined by Ambrose Bierce –

— If the “POCLAD” web site is still up { Look it up? } — I was the Radio ‘Engineer’ recording an interview between a Connecticut Green Party Activist/Psychiatrist/Radio Personality and one of the people involved in the “Program On Corporations, Law And Democracy” – The interviewee told us that – when the USA first became the USA they deliberately made corporations subject to a lot of limitations. Corporations were only allowed to exist for a limited amount of time and when that time was up – all their assets would revert to the community they were licensed to serve. The intent was to make sure no corporations could become powerful enough to bribe and otherwise manipulate the government ‘of the people, by the people and for the people” into becoming a slave to corporations.

— Look up the definition of “Fascism” —> Here is a link to one of them —> “Corporate Fascism” as defined by Benito Mussolini … And, in case that link gets broken: here are its ‘Ten Steps to Fascism” —>

— “The 10 pillars of fascism are: ..number one: a mythic past, a great mythic past which the leader harkens back…Number two: propaganda. There’s a certain kind of fascist propaganda where everything is inverted. The news is the fake news. Anti-corruption is corruption….So, three: anti-intellectualism. As Steve Bannon said, “It’s emotion—rage gets people to the polls. We got elected on “Lock her up!” and “Build the wall!” Hitler, in Mein Kampf, says you want your propaganda to appeal to the least educated people-“… Number 4: unreality. You have to smash truth. So, reason gets replaced by conspiracy theories… Number 5: Hierarchy. In fascist politics, the dominant group is better than everyone else… Number 6: Victimhood. In fascism, the dominant group are the greatest victims. Men are the greatest victims of encroaching feminism. Whites are the greatest victims of blacks & other minorities. Germans are the greatest victims of Jews…. Number 7: Law and order. What are they victims of? They’re victims of the out group, who are criminals. What kind of criminals are they? They’re rapists. {Sexual anxiety } ….Pillar nine:  is Sodom and Gomorrah. The real values come from the heartland. The people in the city are decadent…pillar 10: is ”Arbeit macht frei“—work shall make you free. The out group is lazy. They’re not just criminals; they’re lazy… It’s all about winning.” { Um, I seem to have lost one of the steps here… }

- Porch Plants Enjoying Grow Light -

– “Porch Plants Enjoying Grow Light” –

— The pinkish sheen to the right of some leaves and pots is from the ‘Grow Light’.

— With so much anxiety-inspiring ‘news’ constantly bombarding us lately – As the Russian Federation’s President seems to be ‘losing it’ — believing randomly murdering Ukrainian civilians is the way he can protect his country – or his egotistic ‘legacy’? –

— And with me wondering if any of the news we’re getting from any side is actually honest — I walked out on our glassed in porch and glanced at the jade plant and felt like it was happily smiling at me.

— An extra 45 minutes of trying to clear my mind meditating this morning probably didn’t hurt either.

February 2022 – and the possibility of catastrophic world threatening events in Eastern Europe

Friday, February 25th, 2022 – 07:01 am in Atlantic Canada. { Corrected a bunch of typos by 08:42 am }

"Stop All War!"

– I can’t take sides on this one – I don’t know enough – I can’t trust that we’ve been told the truth from either side.”

 

{ “Love is but a song we sing – Fear a way we die….” }

 

If there is a war going on between the forces of Light { Love } and Darkness { the Forces of Lust for Power } ––> Those who believe they need power over others in order to assure their survival and prosperity { out of fear and anxiety? } seem to have convinced themselves and each other – that, if they can keep as many others in a state of fear and anxiety as possible, those others become easy to manipulate { they’d call it ‘controlling their ‘underlings’ }.

{ “Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be King. King ain’t satisfied ’till he rules everything.” }

Edgar Cayce said there have been something like 11 million years of intelligent life on this planet.

How long did we survive before some idiot came up with the idea of ‘Currency’?

The Spiritual Law of Prosperity is not linked to gold or oil or precious gems or anything physical —> It depends on attitude and karma. All other forms of Economics Theory stem from what George Bush { the first } sneered at and called ‘Voodoo Economics’. Those who want you to believe they are the most rich and powerful and therefore should have power over our lives – have convinced us that they are rich and powerful because they were born with superior genes and have seized and held more toys and shiny things than we have – things that they have convinced us are really valuable – They’re not. Those who die with the most toys do not win this game – if it is a game.

{ Gold does have Spiritual qualities when worn in contact with our skin. Various crystals effect us emotionally and/or consciously. Wool and silk can aid us in our meditations. That’s real value. The ability to empower others is another real value. The ability to convince wounded/traumatized people that they have real value and lift their spirits is another real value. Letting other people know that we support each other spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and energetically is real value – and you can call that real spiritual power. Loving people can inspire love in others. Compassionate people inspire others to be compassionate. Empathic people can inspire others to endorse and value empathy. }

There are several universes or dimensions right here. Let’s concentrate on the three that are most important to us in this life. { “What we see as ‘Miracles’ are the laws of the higher dimensions being applied in the lower dimensions.” }

The Material/Physical Universe is where we are.

The Emotional/Astral Universe is the next higher Universe – The size of the Astral Universe has been compared to the Material Universe as being a hot air balloon – with the Material Universe being the comparative size of the hot air balloon’s basket. Evolved humans have told us that we travel into the Astral Universe when we sleep and dream. The higher areas of the Astral Universe a light and bright – the lower regions are dark and unpleasant.

The ‘Higher Intellectual’/Causal Universe is the next higher Universe – ‘above’ or ‘beyond’ the Astral/Emotional Universe. Again, the size differential between the Astral { Basket } to the Causal { Hot Air Balloon } is about the same as the difference between the Physical and Astral universes. Residents who have evolved to the point where they can live in the Causal Universe can materialize anything they want or need.

The ‘normal’ evolutionary progress for our spiritual lives goes ‘up’ from the Material to the Astral and then the Causal – There is something beyond the Causal, but the most advanced individuals that we know of – those who have evolved beyond the Causal – have come back here and told us that it would be counter-productive for them to describe what is beyond that { Causal } level. We have been told that all the Great Masters who have evolved beyond the Causal Level – have chosen to come back and guide us toward our Spiritual Ascension. Jesus, The Buddha, Krishna, and quite a few others who reincarnated as ‘Gurus’ are in this category.

{ I was told that it takes a billion years from the time we are created until we reunite with God beyond the Causal Level. Some of us get there faster, some, who – for instance blow the circuit breakers in their nervous systems through drug abuse and other ‘traps’ – take longer. }

{ “No Spirit can stand to be Negative forever.” }

The ‘baddest’ among us will always find somebody ‘Bigger and Badder’ who will torture and seek to control them.

The Sufis have a term they call a ‘Wrong Crystallization’ which may describe a condition brought about by dedicating too much time and energy to negative pursuits – They go on to say that to overcome a wrong crystallization requires time and suffering. { An alcoholic who caused a lot of pain and doubt in his or her family members and friends will choose to reincarnate as the victim of an alcoholic parent or spouse in order to convince themselves to the core of their being that alcoholism is not the way to improve themselves and/or grow spiritually. }

God doesn’t punish us or condemn us to eternity in ‘hell’ – We choose to live lives that convince us that we would much rather struggle upward than choose the paths that lead us into more and more intense pain and suffering.

{ We may now be going through intense growing pains – not a world ending event. }

This earth revolves around our Sun. The sun revolves around the center of our Galaxy. Our galaxy revolves around the center of the material universe.

There are areas of this material universe where the ‘vibrations’ and/or ‘Gravity’ and/or ‘Other Forces’ – aid or detract from our ability to think and understand ourselves and the – intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social – environments around us.

There are four distinct levels of human consciousness that correspond with the four ‘Ages’ of Earthly life.

These Ages have been described as a ‘Golden Age’ at the top of the scale, a ‘Silver Age’ one step below the Golden Age, an ‘Iron Age’ below the silver and a ‘Stone Age’ at the bottom of the scale.

The Cycle from ‘rock bottom’ – up to the peak of the Golden Age and back down again takes about 26,000 years.

Descending and then ascending through the Rock Bottom Age takes a thousand years. Five hundred years down and five hundred years back up

There is a period of chaos as the planet’s population adjusts between the ages –

We are currently on the upswing – Ascending up through the various ages. Each Age on the upswing takes a longer period of time to play itself out. – The Golden Age lasts the longest, the Silver Age is the second longest, the Iron Age is the third longest and the Stone age is the shortest. Each age lasts the same length of time on the way up and on the way back down.

At ‘rock bottom’ the vast majority of people on this planet could understand nothing beyond the purely physical. We last hit rock bottom around the year 500 AD.

Around the year 1,000 AD we began to rise to the next level. Let me call this next level – the ‘Electric Age’ instead of the ‘Iron Age’ – People on this planet gained the ability to understand that water can move through a sponge – electricity could go through wires { or around them } – and a soul can live inside a human body.

We may now be heading into a very trying period of time as we attempt to reach the next ‘higher’ ‘Age’ – The ‘Silver’ or ‘Magnetic’ Age? – Where most of us on planet Earth should be able to understand that Magnetism can control electricity which can effect physical objects.

I’m not sure about the length of time the Electric Age should last – I’m not sure the normal progression is just a matter of time – or that it is ‘guaranteed’.

Again, I have been told that there is a period of ‘chaos and confusion’ as we move up or down from one age to the next. People born into one age may not be able to stand the vibrations in the next level up or down.

The ‘Golden Age’ will be defined by our understanding of ‘Spirit’ – most intelligent life on this planet will understand why we are here, where we came from, and be in the process of developing the ‘gifts’ of Spirit. Those who can live in the Golden Age will understand that Spirit can control magnetism which can control electricity, which can effect physical objects.

{ Between Rocks and Hard Places. }

The dialog between Krishna and Arjuna might have been literal, or it might have been a parable. The idea of going to war against his friends and relatives may be symbolic of making war on our bad habits and egotistical attachments.

If, like Arjuna, you’re feeling like you have to choose between failing to fulfill your duty to God and your country by refusing to kill those who would kill your virtuous country’s citizens and neighbours – or breaking a major commandment like, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” – which may not have been one of ten commandments in ancient India, but may have been something that all Indians of Arjuna’s Caste or place in society had impressed deeply into their consciousness as they matured from childhood to the age of responsibility.

—> If you’re faced with a heavy duty spiritual dilemma that feels like – ‘anyway you look at this you lose’ – or whatever choice you make will cost way too much… It might help to realize that you’re acting as well as you can without having the ability to understand exactly what God wants you to do – Maybe the best advice you could follow then would be to do your best to please God by acting on what you believe would be the most pleasing to God and dedicating those actions to pleasing God. Sound complicated? It’s part of a real spiritual path.

In the late 1960’s the Boston Globe ran a series of articles in their Sunday Magazine. One article I read was about stages of moral growth. One odd or unique characteristic of moral growth is the fact that people who have graduated to a higher level of moral growth often appear to be immoral or amoral to people who function on a lower level.

The scholarly professor who wrote the book that was quoted in that article delineated six levels of moral growth: Infantile, Toddler, Grammar School, Junior High School, Rigid and ‘Situational’.

At the infant level, whatever feels good IS good. – It’s bad to feel hungry, cold or wet – or be sitting in a mess of poop. It’s good to feel warm and have a reasonably full tummy or have your mother smile at you, hug you, and sing you to sleep.

At the toddler level your parents are the ultimate authorities in your universe – what Mommy and Daddy tell you becomes the laws of your universe.

At the grammar school level your peer group becomes more important than anything else. If your group thinks it’s cool to smoke cigarettes – you want to smoke cigarettes. If your little brother sees you smoking – he’ll be mortified because you’re breaking the rules that Mommy and Daddy laid down. If you tried to live by your parents’ rules instead of adjusting to the rules of your peer group you would probably be targeted for public humiliation. So little brother believes you’re ‘bad’ for breaking the rules that he has to live with and you think your little brother is an idiot/jerk because you have to live by your friends’ rules or suffer a fate worse than death { Humiliation }.

Junior High School? Here’s where ‘My country, right or wrong’ comes in to play. An awful lot of people never grow beyond that.

The ‘Rigid’/’Black and White’ level above ‘My country, right or wrong’ is where some people grow to believe that the ten commandments take precedence over ‘King and Country’ or ‘my country, right or wrong.’ People at this level come to believe that, “Thou Shalt Not Kill” – does not mean, “Thou shalt not kill – unless your King, President, Parliament, or other head of state – tells you to kill.”

At this level people have to face tough criticism from parents, friends, loved ones, and other important people who may believe that the conscientious objectors are gutless cowards – when it actually takes more courage and inner strength to stand on their principals. { “I shall die, but that’s all I’ll do for death.” }

The highest level of morality that the professor listed was ‘situational’ – where someone has dealt with questions like – for instance, “If I don’t take the chance of putting my immortal soul in jeopardy by shooting a mass murderer – am I then at least partially responsible for every murder he { or she? } commits after I refuse to take that chance?” – What would be obviously evil and immoral under some circumstances might be the only constructive moral action to take under other circumstances.

– – – – –

{ In every lifetime we are surrounded by friends and acquaintances from previous lifetimes who will either come into our lives to help us move ‘upwards’ toward Love, Compassion, Mercy, Forgiveness, self control – and all the positive things that bring us closer to God and Heaven; – or help us slide ‘downwards’ into egotism, anger, anxiety, fear, greed, the lust for power, control over others, vengeance, addiction – and negative habits and stuff that leads us away from goodness and light and closer to spiritual ‘darkness’ – and eventually pain and suffering. “God doesn’t want anybody in Heaven who want to be anywhere else.” – We live and learn in a “Free Will Zone” – where a vast Cosmic drama pulls us all into various roles that teach us the lessons that gradually lead us upward and out of ignorance – sometimes through rewards for upward progress, sometimes through pain and suffering that lead us to the realization that we really don’t want to do anything that leads us into more pain and suffering. We form close relationships with lovers and family members – some to help us know that we want to climb the heights toward Positivity, Love, Wisdom, and all the good stuff in life – sometimes to double underline the fact that we don’t want to spiral downward into darkness, pain, regret, fear, and everything negative in life. }

{{ “Egotism is the illusory/delusional state in which the infinite soul believes it is merely the physical body.” }}

{ “Russia versus Ukraine in the year 2022 AD…” }

Putin believes he is protecting the country he loves from forces that want to subvert and destroy it.

Many see this as the Karmic return from the Cuban Missile Crisis. The USSR moved Nuclear weapons to Cuba from which they could hit every target in the USA. That standoff could have resulted into a very catastrophic World War III and destroyed thousands of years of progress on this planet, knocked us back into a stone age. “The next war will either be fought with nuclear weapons or stone axes and clubs,” was a real possibility.

Now the shoe seems to be on the other foot and the USA is trying to move its nuclear weapons right up to the border of Russia. Lets hope and pray the Americans back down gracefully and don’t become the cause for another near extinction event that could knock us into the stone age again.

The Yogi who clued me into the school of Yoga that I joined – asked me on the day I met him, “Why do you think all the great leaders are not here with us now? It’s because they have graduated on to better lives in higher worlds.” This is not the only planet we can live on. There are always at least one planet in every level, every spiritual age that I described above – stone age, iron age, silver age and golden age.

Another friend, who believes he is living the last life he has to live in the material universe, was convinced that he couldn’t use his healing gifts without charging for them – giving the healing away would add to his earthly karma and force him to come back and chance making wrong choices under the influence of beings and forces that are always present down here – and adding more and more earthly Karma that he’d have to work through. Nobody told him that if he dedicated himself to using his gifts to please God, he would not be ‘rewarded’ with any new Karmic debts.

A man living in Switzerland who is reportedly the reincarnation of the Biblical Prophet Enoch { who was probably disenfranchised from appearing in the Christian Bible by those wonderful Romans who rewrote and edited passages in the official Christian Bible to ensure that they would remain in power and continue their way of life – by pretending to be fine, upstanding examples of Christian values – and may have ‘canonized’ false prophets whose messages are in direct contradiction to the messages that Jesus brought us – } has had conversations with higher spiritual beings and one of them told him that, “The Third Reich is alive and well and pretty much in control in Washington DC.” {{ Don’t take my word for this, I did not get that message from an undeniably Divine Source – I read it from a blog posting. }}

—> And the ‘guest writer’ who interpreted several messages that were given to the Swiss person told us that the messages indicate that ‘brain dead’ power hungry individuals in the Pentagon have long believed they should use a first strike nuclear attack on the heads of the government and armies in Russia to ‘Cut off the head of the snake’ – The so-called ‘brain dead’ generals may have been lied to and manipulated by dark forces whose agenda is to keep us from rising above their ability to convince us that we have to remain in the lower reaches of the material universe and never get higher into the more spiritually aware ages. There may be a ‘Cabal’ of disciples of the dark forces trying their damnedest to keep us down.

—> Putin is convinced that fascist/neo Nazi forces are in control of the government of the Ukraine – which he is convinced is corrupt. Russian spies are convinced that their enemies in the Pentagon have been plotting the first strike strategy for decades. They are ready to retaliate for any believable rumor that a first strike against them is imminent by striking against every nuclear facility and missile in Europe. EMPs would take down the European power grid. Nuclear facilities that weren’t obliterated with bombs would not have enough time and power to safely cool down their reactors and there would be Chernobyl type melt downs all around – and unprecedented high levels of radiation would be released – especially in Germany – where most ‘Allied’ nuclear weapons are housed – Germany would become 1,000% deadly to all human and animal life.

—> The best ‘Remote Viewers’ that I know about have been convinced that somehow we get past this threat and, ‘The next Nuclear bomb used in anger’ will most likely go off in Korea, detonated by the North Koreans.

—> We may have avoided a devastating nuclear war started when someone in North Korea might have kicked it off with a nuclear attack against China.

—> There are also rumors that a nuclear warhead could be set off in the middle east in an attempt to avoid something worse than a nuclear war, set off for ‘scientific’ reasons, that will probably backfire and ‘accidentally’ destroy Jerusalem and/or most of Israel.

—> There is evidence in India that nuclear weapons were used in the history we lost when morons burned the Great Library of Alexandria. { There may be other Great Libraries that may or may not be safe from those who want to keep us ignorant so they can control us and keep us down. } { Recently disenfranchised ‘experts’ and political puppets in Egypt may have discovered one of those libraries and kept it hidden out of a miss-applied ‘patriotic’ allegiance to the current lies about the religious and political history of our planet. }

—> Nostradamus told us that some catastrophic events can and should be avoided if enough people on this planet adopt a more spiritually positive attitude toward life and a higher allegiance to loving and serving the human race and all life on this planet.

Yoga Stuff / Insights:

– Wednesday, July 8th, 2020 —>  dark, cool and damp @ 10:30 pm in Atlantic Canada –

- H.J.dA's Twitter Header -

– “H.J.d’A’s Twitter Header” – Babaji floating above a frozen river – Meditating. –

— I thought I was having trouble concentrating on what I was doing/trying to do while I was meditating a little more than a week ago and this came to me :

— { Some things that would have hit me with a reaction like “Oh, gag me with a spoon-” several years ago feel like glowing revelations while I’m meditating lately. }

= = = = =

— “I breathe the Essence of the Divine —> The Gift of God, the angels and the arch angels.

— I breathe in Pure Wisdom and unconditional Love

— I breathe out my misconceptions, my illusions, delusions and negative reactions to misunderstandings.

— I breathe out the impurities of misled intellect, emotions, ideas, and impressions.

— I breathe out the impurities of heart and mind and body-

— God’s angels and arch angels collect all that I exhale in sacks of pure inescapable light and fly those things down into the Earth where they can be transmuted into cures for diseases, and the stuff that makes all flowers, fruits and vegetables grow –

— I give my carbon dioxide to the plants – which feed on that and give us back oxygen.

— I thank all of Creation that we are able to do this.”

= = = = =

— And now it’s time for me to go do my exercises and meditation. 🙂

“What you see is Perception, Not the Truth” – Marcus Aurelius.

— Wednesday, January 23rd, 2019 – -12˚C / +10˚F & cloudy in Atlantic Canada @ 11:11 am – & updated @ 4:35 pm Atlantic time = with -8˚C / +17˚F & ‘Heavy Snow’ falling here – according to my weather app. –

Red in the Morning.

– “Red in the Morning” – sunrise in Marysville, January 23rd, 2019 – 7:47 am – Atlantic Time –

— An opening line from the original “Kung-Fu” teevee series that stuck with me all this time: “To learn all there is to know about the good in this world, one lifetime is not enough – To learn all there is to know about evil – one hour is too much.”

—> The Hindu model of the cycles of life in the material world – and they kept knowledge from rumoured golden ages when we on earth may have had technologies that dwarf what we have today – says that at about 500 AD we hit rock bottom in a 26,000 year cycle that effects our ability to think and reason and live – at rock bottom most ‘intelligent’ life on earth could only understand the purely physical. The ‘vibrations’ in that region of the material universe are so dense they make it nearly impossible to use our minds to anything like our full potential.

— In about 1500 AD we progressed to the next level where most sentient life could understand the concept of electricity – electricity could travel through metal like water could travel through a sponge. { So maybe a soul could live inside a physical body? }

— We may be approaching the next higher level – where most of us will understand that magnetism can control electricity and effect the physical aspects of life. { I’m not sure whether human consciousness goes up and/or down through 3 or 4 levels of understanding and ability to perceive and think – The Hindu model says we have seven physical ‘chakras’ or energy centers in our bodies. The lowest one is the sexual center – which actually operates on energy that is higher and finer than some of the higher centers. There is a reason that human beings feel ‘religious experiences’ during and just after sexual experiences – especially when higher emotion, like love, empathy, or appreciation, admiration, and stuff like that is involved. – But human consciousness can almost certainly evolve to the point where we can use our higher intellectual functions to control magnetism and thereby electro-magnetic currents and forces, etc. – The physical center is next up the ladder, then the lower intellectual center – {{ego}} Then the emotional center – {{ Emotions happen faster and at a finer level than ‘academic thought’ – You can’t control your emotions with your ego }} –  Then there’s the higher intellectual center – where creativity and inspiration come through – above that we become aware of ‘super-consciousness’ where ‘saints’ and psychopaths can tune in on ‘spooky interactions at a distance’ and perceive stuff going on in parallel dimensions and either believe they’re losing their minds or cross their fingers and hope they’re experiencing evolution on a personal level. – above that individuals discover ‘psychic’/’spiritual’ powers – like telekinesis and astral travel and all that fantastic stuff that pseudo science calls delusion, because if they haven’t experienced something – it doesn’t exist in their understanding and when their egos are empowered – they have to strike out and convince themselves that anybody who ‘believes’ in that kind of ‘nonsense’ must be delusional at best and psychotic at worst – and probably dangerous. – Dangerous to anybody with a closed mind and shaky grasp of what reality just might be all about. } { When you are fully identified with your sexual center, guess what you want to do? – When you are fully identified with your physical center you probably want to remain at rest forever – When you click in to your lower intellectual center you like to learn and quantify and label and count – When you click in to your emotional center – you want to hug a lot and nurture a lot & you may want to get even with real and/or imaginary slights by people you care about – or anyone who threatens those you care about. — When you click in to your higher intellectual center – you want to know who we are, where we came from, is there a God? Is there life after physical death – do our parents and teachers have any idea what is actually happening here? – And you start to get answers and hunger and thirst for more — When you click into your ‘higher emotional center’ you feel overwhelming love and compassion for all beings and want to communicate with Buddhas and Saints and Sages and Spiritual Masters – and you start by hoping that it is true that all true religious teachers have discovered that the ultimate Truth behind all Religions is constant and all the truly ‘enlightened’ ones agree completely on what Heaven and Earth are all about and the perceived differences between religious teachings come about because that ‘One Truth’ has to be described in terms that people in all the various cultures and levels of understanding can grasp and believe in. —> And there may actually be more and higher levels – but if you haven’t been ‘infected’ with the experience of slightly higher levels – and never had the kind of experience that really opens your eyes and heart and mind – you probably won’t believe there is anything out there or up there – so ‘They’ tell us ‘we can’t get there from here’ and if you try to stay on top of the ocean – you sink – and if you try to sink – you float { Thank You Allan Watts } – and if you spend time and energy trying to see into the Divine before you’re ready, all you’re going to get is frustration – so for now – just believe that unlimited consciousness and immortality in the depths of your consciousness is possible { but a few attitudes and ‘states of mind’ might need to change along the way – and you’ll have to wait and see what all that is like when it happens to you. }

— The last big jump up for those of us in the material universe might come in a couple more thousand years when most of us understand that consciousness can control magnetism, which can control electricity, which can effect physical/material objects. – This would be the fabled ‘golden age’ When the majority of sentient beings on this planet begin to understand what life is all about, why we’re here and what ‘God’ might be all about.

{ This explanation of mine is probably an extremely basic, almost simplistic explanation of what Hindu philosophers and ‘saints’ discovered many thousand years ago, back before Göbekli Tepe days, possibly before Gilgamesh and his gang were here. }

— And the ‘Don’t take anything I say as the Ultimate Truth of all existence – Test it – and see if you can punch holes in it – run it up the flagpole and see if anybody drags it down and burns it – and then try to figure out what their agenda might be.’ – cautionary warning label here could be that no giant steps forward by our whole diverse population can be guaranteed when you add the monkey wrench of free will into that equation. – But without that monkey wrench we just might wither and die spiritually.

— I should quit here, but let me add that the Hindu philosophers have preserved the idea or ‘knowledge’ that the material universe is the lowest and smallest of several dimensional universes, with the ‘Astral’ or emotional universe being the next finest and much larger universe, where many believe we all go when we dream, — and then the ‘Causal’ or higher intellectual universe is that much finer and larger than the ‘Astral’ universe – and those who have progressed to that level can create anything they want to by exercising the power of their minds —> and there is something beyond the Causal universe that we’re not supposed to be able to comprehend until we graduate from the gross, mind-numbing electro-magnetic disturances that rule the material universe. } <— Could this be a decent hypothesis to test and think about and try to prove or disprove? Rumours from the Golden ages hint that science without an open mind is like trying to walk or run with one leg paralyzed.

Politickal Schnarr & Evil

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 —> +42˚F / +6˚C & sunny in Ithaca, New York at 3:05 pm.

— Let me start with something a friend blurted out once:

= = = = =

— “There are only two kinds of people in this world. — Angels in Training and Angels in Trouble. … And many of us have one foot in each camp. And quite a few of us are Centipedes…..”

= = = = =

Statue of Liberty Hiding her tears.

“The effects of testosterone poisoning on US Politiks as seen by the rest of the world?”

— And Ideas and philosophies that stuck with me: …

— “A society is judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable and least empowered citizens.”

— “The military model: ‘You get out there and you tell them anything you have to – to get them to do what I ordered you to tell them to do – or you can find yourself facing a courts martial!’ — isn’t just a symptom – it may be the basis of the “Information is power” / “Need to know” culture where the truth has no value as far as those who want to wield power are concerned. Disinformation rules – and only a select few at the top of the authoritarian food chain have a clue as to what “The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth” actually is.”

— “The social pyramid is a complete illusion. If and when those who have been convinced that they are at the bottom of the delusional power structure refuse to believe that those who claim to be above them are any better than they are, or have any right to tell them what to do, and walk away – The whole thing will collapse in on itself.”

= = = = =

— I intend to Expound on this subject extensively in the next couple days, but right now, I’m at work and something important just came up, so, stay tuned for the rest of my thoughts on this subject.
