That Critical Moment of Passing out of this World

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

May your noses always be cold and wet.

The more I look into it; meaning ancient scripture and less ancient scripture, the most important moment of one's existence is, ironically, in the hour before their death. It need not be the last hour because... people die suddenly or by accident (not meaning accidentally) and they don't have an hour available to them. So... let me rework that; the most important moment of one's existence takes place in the moment(s) before one's death and that has to do with the focus of their thoughts and feelings. If that happens to be the ineffable then you are good to go, leave or otherwise vacate the scene. If it is not... there is no way that one can consider it a good thing.

One might think it would be an easy thing to remember the ineffable at the moment of death. What other moment in life could be judged more critical? This brings us back to the subject of angels again. There is an angel whose job it is to distract you from thoughts of the ineffable at that time in your life. Only those who have focused on the ineffable more than on anything else in their life are allowed to maintain it at the point of departure. Don't hassle me about this. Argue the matter with those far more wise and informed than I am. Read about it in the Bhagavad-Gita and other texts that state it unequivocally.


Here's a lightweight (file size is less than 5Mb) version of the full Bhagavad-Gita; click on the image below to open or download.

Bhagavad Gita


According to the Gita, we are all in a lot of trouble with this because it talks about the status of realized and dedicated yogis and I don't rate that descriptor, from what I've seen of myself but then I figure that the key is love and not so much the incredible requirements of consciousness to reach those rarefied states that seem sometimes so far beyond anything we are capable of. I tend to believe it is the intensity and consistency of our Love that counts and not the degree of our spiritual elevation due to the fortunate karma of having found a guru of such a level that one can be transformed under that guidance without faltering so often as so many of us do. I believe those who love much are forgiven much.

I look back on my life and I see the acting out of one seriously abused person whose childhood was so bad that it generated all sorts of states of madness and lack of self that once the opportunity for certain kinds of divine madness became possible (psychedelics and the enforced monastic states of long periods in confinement) it was fairly easy to achieve. Unfortunately, reckless abandon was a constant feature in the relentless press for every greater experiences. Truth be told the greater truth does not lie in that direction. I've come to believe that we are an ongoing experiment of teaching moments, sometimes for others and sometimes for ourselves; sometimes this came about due to positive actions of some sort and sometimes it came about due to mistakes of varying severity; good lessons, bad lessons but always a matter of whether you learned them or not. That's the important thing. You don't have to carry the fear of retribution with you if you actually learned from it.

Some of us have a lot of easy highway and some of us have very hard highway and some of us have very very bad highway early on and it lightens and lightens but it takes a really long time and some of us have it very easy in the beginning and it gets harder and harder and some of us just skate entirely and it's all karma. According to what the ineffable (or his agent) told me, sometimes the things we went through and the things we did does not mean anything like what we think it does. If one or more of our parents (karma) were hard on us we will be hard on ourselves and sometimes hard on others too.

These are seriously dark times and I am of the opinion that only love for the ineffable will work for many of us; certainly I am speaking for myself. It has taken a great deal for me to get to the point I am at and when I look at the route and the incidents I had to pass through to get here, it astounds me that I should have made it through and past all of it. Perhaps I have not. I don't really know but it is truly weird to make comparisons between all of these points of experience and see that they have culminated in a state where I have absolutely no choice but to rely on the ineffable for everything. It's a design I have no control over and can do nothing about. None and... every effort to make it more stable or predictably routine ends in failure.

I find it disturbing at times to have to take on the most powerful interests in this world and say things that will brand me for who knows how long as some Don Quixote like creature who has been truly successful at one thing in particular and that being to achieve near total ostracization from every theater of endeavor I work in. It's perplexing. At the same time I note that I have been able to say things that are against the law in countries where I was in residence and not a single thing happened in that regard ever. Those associated with me over that period of time are mystified by this having been so.

For some time I was occasionally terrorized on an invisible level but that is probably not the best way to put it. Let's say the effort to do so was there but it didn't result in that. It was simply degrees of tension I had to live with. I'm not talking about these things for the purpose of self involvement with a wider public but only because, as I have seen, these things so often resonate with the reader in terms of their own lives.

There are many, many events I have never spoken of here. Some of them are so completely outrageous they would test my credibility with those who come here. I live in a very strange syndrome of interaction with invisible worlds and I don't often understand the meaning of these things. At the same time, this has all gone on for so long that it is what passes for normal with me and none of it is normal in terms of what I see around me every day. At least I have finally come to the point where I am able to behave as if I were everyone else with everyone else because bringing some of these things out would be disturbing to many.

I know that a goodly number; in fact, I would say most of the people who come here are not like most people in this world of the present and it is no accident that this has happened. It is no accident that link hosting sites have cut me out of their operations after some period of time and often with no reason given. Nothing is an accident but boy... it's difficult to autopsy any of it. You just have to swallow it whole and take is as it is, whether you understand any of it or not.

Ultimately, what matters is that we come to our time of departure and the thought of the ineffable is paramount in our hearts and minds. It doesn't matter if we are less spiritually evolved than we might wish to be, or are unable to travel to states of bliss at any time we wish to, or be completely free of attachment to anything in this world. Some of us probably feel terribly inadequate on many levels and doubt our ability to devote ourselves as much as we think we must and so we live in fear of transiting without having made the connection we need to make to insure that we will have the ineffable on our minds in the moment that we need to most.

We can only pray as often as it is possible to for the guidance and the strength to come to a state of being where the ineffable is simply more important than anything else; even more important than everything else put together. Once the ineffable sees that we are determined in this course, events will be set into play to bring us to that state of being but the ground over which we must pass to accomplish this may be torturous indeed. Well... we did ask for it, yes? I'm guessing that is what it comes down to, to be willing to go through whatever you have to go through to get there. Perhaps it will not prove as difficult as one imagines it to be because, possibly simply coming to that commitment is all that is required and it is only as hard as we make it when we hold on to the things that we must necessarily put aside.

I don't know what else to say about this. I believe I have said as much as I have to say on the matter. May God guide and inform you all, according to your faith, certitude and determination.

The Age of the Rage of the Iridescent Peacock Ego.

Dog Poet Transudating.......

"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does."

Seems like it is the age of the rage of the individual ego. There are a couple of motivators for this and we've already had 'the me generation', which was followed by the 'even more me generation' and most recently we had the, 'it came from beneath the valley of the me generation'. So maybe this is actually the, 'return to the valley of the me generation'. That's neither here nor there, well... actually it's there and we're here and my reasoning, such as it is and imperfect as it is, is that, of course, Materialism is the first cause, because Materialism is that hot environment that inflames the ego, bringing it to the 'tinder dry' state. You throw in the press of near 7 billion souls all agitating for survival and a sense of self in the dense and cluttered press of all those bodies and plastic identities in search of a net worth persona and then... you factor in that this is the digital information age... toss in all that social networking and endless evolution of devices to that end and you got hundreds of millions of horny thumbs going at it like randy goats in search of high performance numbers and recognition points and you got what we now got in surround sound and panorama view. Ahrooooooooooo!

The most unfortunate aspect of this situation is the nature of the self that the theater of Materialism demands from the players. Even if you were initially of a spiritual inclination, the requirements for presentation have a tendency to distort and pervert original intent; should the original intent have been authentic which, most of the time, it ain't... your chances, short of sincere Bhakti and perpetual surrender to the point where it is acknowledged... are not good. You got to put on some kind of outfit, whether it be ocher, other colored robes, or a white suit like you were the Tom Wolfe of the evangelical lecture circuit... with dreams of a Las Vegas invite to the international convention of snake oil professionals. You can enthral the crowd with your version of A Curse of Miracles and maybe not even have to be sexually aberrant or commit suicide as a denouement. Then again, you may have already dropped by one of those CIA Starbuck type franchises, where they hand out plagiarized systems of condensed and simplified philosophies that are tailor made for that growth industry that caters to whatever permutation of 'ME' phase we are passing through at the moment. If that's the case then maybe you are now all dressed up with somewhere to go.

Yeah... that's the hard part about it all. You want to get your message out there and the only way the people, who control the flow of the crowds coming and going, are going to facilitate your dreams is if you agree to be a dancing chicken. If you've ever been to a carnival where they have a dancing chicken then you know the way they get that chicken to dance is to turn up the heat on the griddle that they put the chicken on. I'm guessing that the chicken stays on the griddle before hand, due to some amount of feed being scattered on it. In your case, the feed is customized to your tastes. I'm guessing they don't use popping corn... then again.

However, it has always been the style of those not captivated by style, but aware of the nature of true style, to stay under the 'commercial radar' and do the job they got given to them, without thought of publicity or reward since these jobs come with their own reward and generally include some of those, 'past all imagining' perks. Of course, you might not see much of that until you get off the proving ground, which is a little longer than those with thoughts only of publicity and reward want to wait and... that might be why it is set up that way.

Some things are hard to find on purpose. Some things are very easy to find on purpose. Yeah, the whole shooting match is rigged and it's rigged top to bottom and it's rigged similar but... in very different ways at the bottom from the top and those who venture in either fashion discover this because at a certain point you discover what you lost or you discover what you had the good sense to avoid. You don't discover either until the point of commitment which, in both cases, you might not be aware of just when that happened. As it goes... a great deal happens to us on the way, the significance of which we often don't get and that is because we adjudge bad events as bad events and do not understand that they might have been good events and even moments of salvation from much worse events further up or down the road.

Though most of us are aware that we live in a relative universe where, based solely on our particular tastes, gets segmented into good and bad items, conditions, states and circumstances that would be seen differently by different eyes, hooked up to a processing system that is programmed to like this but not that and which is why we all live in a world of our own creation... literally. Most of us here probably know that too, however, we know it intellectually and not viscerally. This is one of the most powerful fruits of psychedelic voyaging that one, on occasion, can experience in an automatic visceral manner. I'm not suggesting or recommending that anyone take that course, as I have, because not everyone has the dispensation or the gene for that. Some do though. Some do.

I've crossed some amusing scams here, via tales told by those suckered into them or who knew about them. One of them is a ten day colonic cleanse for 3000 dollars. Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. Two friends were on the beach out Kalapana Way a couple of weeks ago, when a lady approached them and introduced herself. She had one of those names but I can't remember it right now. She was long and sinuous and had on one of those cotton wraps around her waist and some very strange eyes. As I remember, they said they were violet or somesuch and which I figure were contact lenses and she undulated over to them and sat down and told them about this Tantric seminar happening over at Kalani (or something like that) which is this big spread owned by some gay guys (simply given the information as given to me) and which features things like 'ecstatic dance' (no talking on the dance floor) and various other similar affairs and- oh right- she wasn't wearing a top. My friends, being guys, were fair impressed with her. I'm less inclined that way because when I see something like that, I smell trouble in a big way. This is probably cause I got a modicum of good sense when it comes to femme fatales, having probably been down that road before, or... managed to see sections of the highway from some other road that had a good perspective down on it.

In this age of the rage of the iridescent peacock ego, you generally have to make some amount of noise to get heard and that's only going to be continuing if you got something more than noise to follow up with. That would mean something that appeals to some appetite or attractive or... the promise of being able to fix something that's gone wrong. You don't have to be able to fix it. You just have to sound like you can and be on the evening bus out once the truth dawns on whoever got that dose of Tinker Belle dust, which does wear off soon enough.

There is a big pull that gets exerted by that ego force and the chance that whatever it is might work, is a compelling thing. It's intoxicating to get to prance around on the big stage and the big stage can be found in most cities in the world. These aren't the biggest stages, which would probably be found on electric media but... the chance to BE SOMEBODY, oh my! These days people are so fascinated by the possibilities of that opportunity that they spend little time at all putting together a convincing and professional act and... from what I can see, that is no longer a requirement. Reality TV has shown us that. These days you can get an official looking piece of paper after only a couple of weekends and a four day retreat and you can go on the road, with all the other thousands and thousands and wave your hands over people's bodies and make unusual sounds followed by 'ka-ching! Ka-ching! And what could be better than that?

Fact is that the ego has a short shelf life but it looks longer on the instant gratification circuit. It's also limited as far as environments go and it is certainly limited in terms of rewards by comparison with what is not only possible but certain for those working in other areas of employment that are not the same areas of employment that one sees advertised as such. Of course, for many, coin of the realm is their only objective and the only reason that anyone demurs, among those few who opt for otherwise, is that there are other realms, oh yes indeedy.

Anything you want to accomplish and anywhere you want to go, can be achieved if one is committed to it to the degree that it occupies their thoughts and energies more than anything else. That is all it takes, no matter what it is. It's simple and if it happens to seem complex, that means that lies are involved at some level of the process.

Only a Broken Heart can Find the Kingdom of Heaven

Dog Poet Transdimensionalizing.......

“Dogs never bite me, just humans.”

Three things have a powerful effect on us; cosmic delusion, the cosmic dream and all of the things in it that snag and entangle us. These are all generated out of the consciousness that liberates us from them. It is because of the existence of these forces and our relationship to them that accounts for wherever it is that we find ourselves at the moment but... obviously for some who read here, this is not all. These forces are generated, as all forces are, by the same source; good men, bad men, good things and bad things, true sanity and all the countless variations of insanity are all generated out of this same force through intermediaries that color the impact and the impact can be colored in all the ways you know and do not know about. This is not to say that that supreme originator directly intends everything that goes down, or... should we say, 'comes down?' Perhaps the more accurate way of putting it is to say that the supreme originator allows all of these things to occur and the intermediaries, such as they are, their quality and intention is determined by the age they are operational in. We get 4 combinations of darkness and light; light and darkness and each determines the nature and power of the energies that both deceive and correctly inform us. We are presently in the time zone that possesses the greatest amount of darkness in relation to light.

Humanity has wondered and argued about why life is the way that it is. People say that there can be no God because God would not permit some of the things that happen to happen. Somewhere in the Bible it says that God sets both the light and the darkness. In the Lord's prayer it says, “lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” This implies that the ineffable is both the tempter and the liberator and gives some element of truth to my claim that the devil is an employee of the almighty.

For me... it is a simple leap of logic to come up with the reasons for why things are the way they are and that would be what you so often see written here; it is all for the purpose of demonstration and it is a movie. For most of us, our attention gets captured by the goings on in the film on the screen. We get caught up in it and forget who we are. In some cases we forgot a really long time ago and we have been spending lifetime after lifetime in pursuit of nonsense, dressed up as something meaningful. Out of these pursuits come all of our trials and torments. I marvel at the resiliency of people who can simply go on and on like this. They risk everything over and over again for nothing. Because we are in a time of darkness greater than light, we are also in a time of the rule of insanity. Insanity looks sane because that is what appearances dictate as so. Sanity looks threatening and also wrong. It looks like an enemy of the state and of course, it might well be. After all, the state is an enemy of the people and... by this time there can be little doubt about that. It's one thing to be a good person. It is another thing to be a good person in the practice and pursuit of truth. Being a good person might give you good standing in your community, however, association with truth can kill that dead. Good is relative. Truth is not. Yeah, sure, we can broach a good argument for relative truth; certain things that are routinely so, no matter where you come up against them. Truth in its essence is something else and truly difficult to define. It can be experienced though.

One of the reasons the wise tend to keep their mouths shut and also not to talk about certain things is that is can get you in trouble. Some of us, less wise than the wise, do not have the more practical inhibitions. In some cases we have been karmically tagged to do this and the reasons for that can be many.

The people caught up in the movie think that the movie is real, when the movie is just a projection on the screen of the mind. The consciousness of the almighty is like the thread that holds together a strand of pearls. We are the pearls and the almighty is the strand. The strand is invisible, just as the almighty is; not visible but... palpable... definitely.

We are not all pearls. Some of us are rhinestones and some of us are rocks. Some of us are stink bugs and some of us are something else; no matter, we are all on a strand somewhere. Here's a helpful tip; the divine resonates and the resonating of the divine affects whatever is on the strand unless... unless whatever is on the strand resists the resonance of the divine and then you become whatever you are determined to be according to the quality and degree of your resistance.

I'm learning something very important. It seems like it is something I already knew but I didn't or... I didn't know it in the manner that I should have known it. It has to do with that 'be here now' that is so fashionable and omnipresent. However (I seem to use that word a lot), like anything we hear too often, it eventually fails to register AND... more importantly, unless we have visceral understanding of something, we do not understand it in any practical fashion. We understand it intellectually. A great many people understand things intellectually but there's not a great deal of real value in it. I compare this to people who are caught up in religious organizations of any stripe, who pray by rote, who chant mechanically, who look at the whole affair as putting in their time, or going through the motions for the payoff of social interplay or hedging their bets with Heaven. Most people do not like to be alone but we are all alone and on some level we know this.

A person can be many different kinds of insincere in many different kinds of situations. The result of that is that they will eventually find themselves in a completely insincere world surrounded by insincere people just like themselves. The one place you cannot be insincere and lack commitment and dedication is in dealing with the almighty and there is no way to conceal this, since the almighty is right there inside your heart and mind at all times.

I mentioned that the ineffable had recently told me that I no longer had to chase after anything, conspire after anything and go through any changes about anything because everything was going to come to me now and all I had to do was be me where I am. Previous to leaving Europe, I was told that there were things intended for me that could not happen where I was and that I had to return to a solitary life and simply await it. The amount of evidence I have had in regard to this happening, in these few short weeks has been impressive, to say the least. As far as the world goes, we can be anyone, depending on the roles needed to acquire what we are playing a role to acquire. If it is the ineffable, we have only to be what we are and want that contact more than anything else. It's a simple affair and other than that, there is only the consideration of the path chosen toward the goal pursued. We want what is most expeditious and effective. For that we must look at the age the pursuit is taking place in. Given that this is the Kali Yuga, once again logic- utilized in respect of the most illogical of forces (Love)- tells us that Bhakti is the most expeditious and effective. Why? In times of darkness, Love generates the greatest light. Love is the most powerful attractive there is AND as far as effective goes; above all things, the ineffable is a lover. The ineffable is a virtual slave to love IF we are a slave to love of the ineffable. Furthermore, as I never tire of saying; those who love much are forgiven much. It's very easy to stray or be drawn off the path in times of darkness. Love will keep you focused.

It's been pointed out here many times that the greater the trials and suffering we are put through, the greater the rewards intended for us. There is a caveat to that and that is when Karma is the reason for it. However (there it is again) generally... generally one is not necessarily in the pursuit of the ineffable when Karma is kicking their ass. Often when one is being put through it, it is because they are a pack-horse for the ineffable. They are carrying others along with them in the slipstream. We are, all of us, a reservoir and an inspiration for each other IF we are. Of course, there are teachers and illuminated souls that are not getting hammered but you can be certain they were getting hammered at another time. We don't pick either the times nor the circumstances for our purpose of demonstration. We 'can pick' the most important feature.

Who is going through the demonstration? Is it you or the ineffable going through it with and for you? If you are truly being yourself, who does that make you? What are you an expression of? What are you an extension of? You are sunlight in extension. You are sunlight frozen in form. What is the essential essence of sunlight? Angels soar around the sun every day. In certain states of consciousness you can see this. Celestial music accompanies this and you can hear it, in certain states of consciousness, unless it is being drowned out by terrestrial noise. All this and so very, very much more is available to those who seek after the ineffable with a greater intensity than what is given to anything else.

You do not reach the ineffable by going to church now and again or giving lip service or using your appearance of a spiritual life for personal gain. The ineffable sees everything and the ineffable knows everything. We do not and that is why we do not understand why the world is the way it is and why the ineffable allows the things that happen to happen. Are these things happening to you? Usually not. Justice is selective. That is one of its primary qualities. You reach the ineffable by being the appropriate hosting vessel and by meeting the criteria that the ineffable demands in order to be there. You reach the ineffable by relying utterly upon the ineffable, which allows the ineffable to shape you, unmake you and make you... or simply remove the dross that covers your illuminated being.

I'll close today with a truth that should heal any broken heart, made so by the loss of one's beloved. All separation is as temporary as the life in which it occurs. Never imagine that you will not see those you loved again. You surely will. Comfort yourself with that and live your life to the fullest. That is what the one you loved wants for you. Do not disappoint the one you love by stressing over the separation or by suffering from the loss. This serves no one. You WILL be reunited. Be joyful with the expectation of that and be the person the one you loved knows you to be. The more you seek the ineffable, the closer you come to everyone and everything you love. In truth, the totality of that is all the ineffable in one permutation or another. Have a wonderful day!

In Perpetual Pursuit of the Presence of the Ineffable.

Electric has been down all day; why this didn't go up earlier.

Dog Poet Transcendentalizing.......

May the roses bloom on your dog collar.

Okay... let's see; 2212 postings. That's somewhere around a little less than two million words. Then there's 217 radio broadcasts, 3 books, 11 CDs and whatever there is elsewise that hasn't occurred to me at the moment. I briefly alluded to this in the last posting. This all amounts to somewhere in the neighborhood of about 15,000,000 visitors. Let's add in some catastrophic visitations, interspersed with a larger number of wonderful encounters. Factor in a fifteen year exile in Europe, followed by a complete closing up of shop and a transition to whatever this is at present.

I'm told a whole knew schematic is now in play and I can see that that is true. I can feel it as well. You'd think I would have gotten a little further in terms of some wider success at it all but... that has not been the case. I've known for awhile that I am closed off from every mainstream area of endeavor and short of a massive change in the power structure, that's going to just go on until something happens, or doesn't happen.

The odd feature about all of this is that there is a pretty powerful alternative media presence; part of that isn't alternative at all but there are quite a few large internet presences and connected sorts that have a lot of influence in their particular ponds of various sizes and I am, for the most part closed off from them too. It's hard to tell just how much of all of this is actually under the control of the other media. It's hard to tell how many of these are government ops or corporate ventures, masquerading as altruistic efforts in the pursuit of truth. Regardless of all that, I have long known what my biggest obstacle to getting anywhere (is there anywhere to get too?) has been due to my putting the existence of the ineffable in the forefront of what I do. This pisses off people on both sides of the fence, because they are in that baby and the bathwater syndrome and they chronically and persistently confuse the ineffable with religion. The two, in essence are mutually exclusive. I know this and most of you know this and that is the reason that the core group here; which changes over the course of time, is made up of believers.

We come from different faiths and forms of practice but... for the most part, to an extraordinary degree, we get along. There is a resonance here. That is undeniable. There is synchronicity here and there is some amount of the serendipity of the supernatural. There is an undeniable congress of talent here. There is a wealth of touched and occasionally tormented hearts. There are those who are fairly comfortable in their existence and there are those living on the edge... close to the squeezing margin of that rock and a hard place. I am one of those but... it doesn't feel like it. There is this persistent certitude that I have now that hasn't been in residence since... since... I don't know when. Somehow... I KNOW I'm going to be taken care of and that everything needed is going to appear when it is needed. This is what I told myself when my car overheated yesterday and it looks like there is some kind of leak where the anti-freeze is making its exit. Of course it had to go critical with the red flashing watership symbol, right when I was caught in that gridlock that we got here most days on the highway out of Hilo. I just relaxed and motored right on home and it didn't even boil over when I went to check it but... it was low and twice yesterday I had to top it up. I didn't go anywhere today. We'll see about that.

My friends. It has been a real pleasure to work with you over these years. Although my own part in all of this has been going on for decades, this segment has been going on for about one of those. It goes without saying that I have offended some of you. In some cases I have deeply offended some of you and no rapprochement is possible... at the moment. In some cases that is absolutely fine. It doesn't make me right and you wrong. It doesn't make you right and me wrong. It is just what it is. Cactus and avocado don't grow in New York State, except in controlled environments and even then, probably never as well as they do where they are native to the location and climate. One of the hardest things in life and one of the most definite expressions of a certain level of wisdom is the ability to be dead certain of your course and also dead certain that there are other courses that are just as valid as your own.

One of my persisting visibilisms concerns the image of a mountain and... you can get up that mountain all kinds of different ways. If you just think about it, you will realize that no one of us knows all of those ways or even most of them. Some people go right straight up the mountain. Some of you will go via some kind of a switchback. Some of you will go round and round the mountain and you'll be coming around that mountain when you come. Some might tunnel into the mountain and follow caverns to the sun but regardless of how you get there, what matters is that you get there. Nothing else matters but that AND... the kicker is, once you get to the top you can see all of the ways up and down. That implies a a form of illuminated awareness and you don't get to that point by arguing about the courses taken by others.

When I got arrested on Maui in 1984 and was facing life in prison, my friend Michael Green went to Guru Bawa and asked him about me after telling him about my situation and Bawa said, “Oh, he'll be fine. He has just chosen another path.” It seems to me he said it almost dismissively but not in an unkind way. It seems to me he was saying, “Oh it's not even something to think about” and then the most unreal series of events took place and I became the only one in Hawaiian history, even to the day, to be acquitted in the fashion that I was. So... even though it has been a singularly hard row to hoe for me, there have been bright moments, faith making moments. I have become absolutely convinced that if the hammer comes down on you relentlessly and you are in pursuit of the ineffable beyond all things, to the extent that you suffer and persevere, you will be answered commensurate with your degree of difficulty. That is how it works. That is how it works. I have been in every state of desperation and have skirted the border of despair more times than I can remember. I realize now that this is all a part of the legacy and even though I have not always been true to my motto of, “leave good footprints”, I have repented and rededicated myself, again and again, and I suggest, in fact, I exhort you to do the same.

Now, there is a reason why I brought up what got mentioned in the first paragraph. Occasionally I wonder about what I do. I especially wonder about people's expectations of me; not wanting to be what I am not, simply to play a role I have not been authorized to play, not wanting to come off as someone who has set themselves up for a fall; ALWAYS be unassuming, never be presumptions. When I was a child, I often read the Bible and I went to Sunday school, where each Sunday we were given Biblical cartoons and I looked forward to them. One of the cartoon/graphic novel stories that I remember was one where Jesus was speaking and he said something to the effect that, “when you are invited to an engagement, do not immediately take one of the prominent seats, rather take a much less prominent seat so that you are not asked to move to a lower place but are rather invited into a higher place.” I've never forgotten that. I consider humility to be one of the 'can't do without period' qualities. It is a MUST HAVE. Why do I say this? I do not say this because it is one more pose one must adopt or that one must be humble because some rule book says so. I say this because humility is something that one cannot avoid if one is to have an realistic understanding about the true relationship between our own insignificance and the immeasurable greatness of the ineffable by comparison. Unless one has this understanding of the relative difference between ourselves and the divine, we ain't going past a certain point and we will most definitely be in line for a purpose of demonstration moment; not a hoped for demonstration either. The proper awareness of what is so in this regard, automatically confers an unshakable humility. Accept no substitutions.

It has never been more true than here that every participant is critical to the mix and our ability to remain always aware of that is what makes everything work here. Some number of times it seemed that the house was coming down here. Sometimes there has been distinct enemy action but the one telling truth is that the majority never paid any real attention to any of it and every effort to paint things other than how they truly were, has fallen short of its intended accomplishment. Here is also where we see the hand of the divine at work and truly... truly; “greater is that which is within you than that which is in the world” and “if god is for me, who can be against me?”

It is clear to me, as I am sure it is to many of you, that what we have here is also for the purpose of demonstration and what that is... We shall see and time will tell.

I want to thank all of you who have stuck by me and each other, to bring us to this point in the movie. The seriously impactful and important moments of it all are on the horizon. This is all headed somewhere, even if it is only where we are, it is going to be completely where we are because that is what we aspire to and intend and that is what the ineffable intends for us as well. Does anyone doubt this? Does not scripture affirm this? Have not all the teachings of the wise confirmed this? Do you not suspect that this MUST be so?

May god in his infinite wisdom guide your footsteps in all ways to the heart of the almighty where we shall dwell forever by the sweet fountains of inspiration and unending love, forever reaching and yet never arriving at the heights of it's possible expression because there is no end to the capacity and power of Love.

The Significant Difficulty of Clear Thinking in Dark Time Zones.

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

May your noses always be cold and wet.

The world is a projection of the mind. It is an individual projection and it is a collective projection. One could say that the collective projection 'generally' has more power and potency of impact than the individual. This is not always the case. One could also say that the collective is generated and controlled by much smaller collectives of individuals with a shared agenda. Because this is the Kali Yuga, generally those agendas are of a negative and mercantile nature. It is what you see around you. It is what you pass through. It sets the tone for the day to day of existence. It sets the stage. It arranges the playing field upon which the desires and ambitions of the many and the few are carried out; to their success and to their failure. Ultimately, very little of anything that takes place here has any lasting meaning. In the short term there are so many things that so many people cannot bear to live without and which they will pursue in opposition to all common sense. A truly unfortunate amount of these objects and goals pursued by the many are dangerous and often fatal. It might not appear so in the short term but it proves to be so in the long term.

Many a teacher of humanity; many a philosopher, mystic and artist (moved by authentic inspiration) have told us not to move with the crowd, not to be subsumed in the masses. This is a difficult age in which to live apart. We are running short on spaces for apartness. However, it is in the mind where everything real, relevant and effective takes place; no peace or security in the mind... no peace in the life. One might say... “Well there are many very successful and prosperous folk who have no inner peace but... they have everything else and they are certainly in a position to have some sense of apartness and they certainly possess or can afford security.” It is one thing to have the trappings or capacity for something and quite another thing to actually possess it.

Our sense of time messes with our sense of reality. Most of us have a very narrow view of time and are often unaware of the ravages of its passing until they are fully upon us. Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday I was frolicking in that playground over there and now I am sitting on this bench, wondering just what was that which passed in the interim. The world is set up in such a way to distract us from paying too close an attention to what it does to us. It needs us in the game and on the game, otherwise the interests of the world suffer and commerce loses its edge over the consciousness of the collective. The eye of the world, as it rotates through the media, which informs us about the things it shows to us, keeps its cameras off of places like Detroit. Whoever controls a significant portion of the human mind, controls the world... or appears to.

Any observant person who is inclined to put their attention on present conditions and who has some awareness of history, will note that those who control the portals of information are the same people responsible for nearly every reprehensible crime of any magnitude over recent centuries. Though it, no doubt, reaches further back than that, let us look at the Battle of Waterloo as being an important watermark for the predator, alien minds that torment and manipulate humanity. It was out of this event that one of the most powerful banking families/houses came into a truly impressive, behind the scenes, control of human affairs. It is they and similar consortiums that financed or owned the slave ships that brought the Africans to both the new and old world for the purpose of creating their paper tiger empires. One might say they truly were and are to be feared but... not by anyone who knows where the real power lies. One might also add that real power never lies. It doesn't have to. False power is built on lies and enforcement of them and they have their relative influence upon the minds of everyone who believes in the power of appearances, which is their greatest weapon for the control of human consciousness.

It is these banking families and tiny collectives of mercenary beings who are behind nearly every conflict on Earth. Their greatest defense for their continuance is to paint themselves as victims of history, when their own victims outnumber them a million to one. They control those portions of history that are selectively written. They control what books are published and what the books contain. They control the curriculum of the educational systems. They control the news and whatever art is permitted to be displayed or performed. They are near exclusively Satanists and that is why illiterate zombies like Kanye West are celebrated and enjoy such a wide proliferation of their incredibly mediocre efforts. They are the force that causes catamite redundancy clowns like Beck to proclaim that uninspired pornographers like West are geniuses. This allows for the airways of the world to be polluted by the banal and profane efforts of people like Nikki Minaj and Lil' Wayne.

A large body of the collective Zombie Mind would take serious exception to my saying these things. Considering the source, it can be presumed without exception that what I say is, in fact, true. If you want to control and manipulate the population you must dumb it down. That is accomplished with no real difficulty. One simply controls what they are exposed to and one simply declares that what they see and touch and hear is GOOD. The horrific and absolutely terminal state of the masses is made more enduring and certain by bad diet. Bad diet reinforces the impact of bad information. You are what you eat in every sense and at every level. The higher possibilities of human thought and expression are frowned upon. Cultural Marxism, manifesting as Political Correctness, celebrates mediocrity. The works of the great minds of the past are denigrated as the expressions of former cultures where parity was not permitted. They are referred to as Dead White Men. Truth does not have a color preference and for that matter, the origin of everything of any value, that was written by any of these people, came out of the Indus Valley and that was not populated by white men. That came out of other civilizations which at the time were accessible to them. These records have now, for the most part, passed out of human ken and reckoning.

The bad actors, such as they exist today, have been around, in one form or another for a long time. They are genetically disposed to the way they behave. If we were able to travel in time, back to their point of origins, we would find that the human race of today came here in parts from different sources. They were created by different means and methods but all for the same purpose; the purpose of demonstration. Life is a movie, or... perhaps more accurately, a dream. We can find the verity of this in the works of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and many another deep thinker from Plato to Blake. Occasionally... one of us awakens out of the dream and... for the most part, says the same things as all of the others in a different way. Some of these souls are more awakened than others and for that reason and for other reasons, have had a greater impact over a wider stretch of time.

Whatever level you integrate at or awaken into, you are subject to the laws of that plane of being and understanding. The rules and rites of passage in the ghetto are not dissimilar to the conditions of the world of the financiers and privileged. Certain actions and behaviors can be just as fatal in either place.

A powerful industrialist dies and awakens in the galley of a slave ship. A queen of the realm dies and wakes up a crack whore in South Side Chicago. A monster of bad medicine dies and wakes up with no arms and legs in Calcutta. Cosmic justice is precise. What we are presently experiencing is the outworking of karmas across the wide range of many ages. Because we are at the conclusion and beginning of a grand cycle of 12 ages, we are seeing this mass of population here for the dramatic denouement of karmas acting out and being resolved individually and collectively. It could be, since it is all wheels within wheels that this is also the ending and beginning of an even greater cycle and that can be made evident by where our solar system is in its orbit through the galaxy. Right at and through the center? Or wherever and whatever. The complexity of it all is beyond the reach of any human mind but... one can get an idea, one can get an idea... or a clue.

Life is a movie, or a dream if you prefer. We all have our roles and we have the role we have based on our predispositions formed in the passages of our past. You can change the role you play. Most people are not so inclined. This is known as denial. Denial comes about when what one wants and what one believes goes contrary to the natural order of things. One suspends ones openness to what is, in favor of what one wants. One organizes and adjust their world view in defense of how they want things to be as opposed to how things really are. Very, very few of us know how things really are, or are so disposed to seek out the truth of things.

I am always recommending things, like the works of Patanjali or The Bhagavad-Gita. I could recommend many another book across a wide spectrum between The Kybalion to Brave New World. Most of you are familiar with all of these but it isn't what you read that makes a wit of difference. It is how you take it and what form of action it inspires in you. Even the mostly committed have their areas of denial. We all want our comfort zone, no matter how narrow the parameters of that might be. We want what we want until we don't want it and most of the time that turns out to be shortly after we get it. Life is designed for just this experience. After awhile you realize there isn't very much here that you want. You only thought you wanted it until you got it and it proved to be something other than you thought it was. Ultimately one gets an idea... one gets a clue.

A Little Super Sunday Sermon of Benevolent Intent.

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

Be the human being that your dog thinks you are.

I've had so many things go wrong over the last decade or so that it kind of became routine. I don't know why these things happened and I don't know why all those other things didn't happen. All I know is that I am on the other side of it at the moment and I said what I said here to set up a hypothesis; What if you, although possessing near zero, appearance wise, as far as power and influence goes, actually had a great deal of influence and access to the invisible than one thinks. This sets up an interplay with the unseen from the dark zones and corners of the astral plane which hasn't been swept out in a long time... oh... but that is coming; count on it. Bank on it.

In the same way that one will attract the forces of light when one is engaged in the service of the light, one will attract the forces of darkness because it is their nature to reflexively oppose all who do so. So... don't go wondering or speculating about how and when the inexplicably undesirable shows up to harass you; you listening visible? Uh... yeah... yeah.

Relative importance in the spiritual realm cannot be measured by possessions and positions in the temporal. Most of us don't know how valuable or incidental we might be because we are natively prone to measure things by the manifest and that's not relevant. One person sincerely working for the good of all will have more impact and effect greater and more lasting change than an entire football stadium of people paying little attention to any of this.

It is the nature of the forces of darkness to go after anyone who is engaged in actions that threaten the command towers of the negative. If you're getting serious opposition in your course, you could be going the right way (grin). The most important thing that anyone seeking to serve the forces of light has to remember is that absolute and convincing victory may not be the result of one's life efforts. Sometimes in war one winds up on a suicide mission for the greater good. Sometimes one is set out to draw the enemies attention away from a particular flank or strategy. Individual players need always be aware of their individual insignificance over the long course of the near incomprehensible intent of The Logos in its far reaching plan across centuries and millennia.

It is the quality of ones deeds that counts, not whether one wins or appears to lose. We are chosen for the exercise of our best abilities and these can vary significantly from player to player. Sometimes you get people who are so very, very different in perspective and means of approach that for either, the other, looks undesirable, incompetent and sometimes even insane. This is a hard thing to guard against when one person's way of going about things goes contrary to everything we consider useful and effective.

I personally neither like nor admire most organized religious figures and new age practitioners AND... as time has gone by I have seen little to change my mind. The truth is though that I don't see everything that is going on. The truth is that people from these ranks and others not mentioned, can reach people who would neither understand nor be inspired by me, or others like me. I have to respect that. It's true that I have often looked upon these people as the blind leading the blind and it is also true that that is often true but... not always.

As time passes I find myself more accepting and embracing of things that have no relevance to me at all. At the same time, I am of the 'whatever works' school; with qualifications. Sometimes the means to the end perverts and compromises the end result. In these cases... we shall see and time will tell. 'We shall see and time will tell' is something I rely on concerning my own behavior, actions and agenda. Not everyone agrees with the way I go about things or what I say either; we shall see and time will tell. It is without question that I make mistakes. That does not make me the Lone Ranger. We all make mistakes and I would much rather associate with people who are not afraid to make mistakes than with people who seek to avoid that at all costs and who make mistakes anyway; more egregious mistakes even.

It's one thing to excel on the fields of play; win titles, make the deciding score or... triumph in the world of business or the arts. To influence others to be better than they might have been and to be a part of some fundamental change in the human heart is to be valued far above any of these other things. You can't always tell what your impact on life might have been and this is especially hard to see when you are in crisis periods or when you have fallen miserably away from your primary intention and... it happens. It surely does. True humility is one of the most underrated assets that a person can possess and one only acquires it by contact with something infinitely greater than oneself. Ergo, I exhort everyone to see that greater being so that one might gain a true understanding and perspective on ones actual 'mean' worth (grin). I have been lucky. I have had myself reduced to cinders many a time by fortuitous encounters with luminous beings. Even though you should never sell yourself short, you should never inflate your own value and become a victim of exaggerated self importance.

Okay... I think we've waxed rhapsodic enough for one post now on to the truly important concerns of the day and that would be... heh heh, the game!!! In typical twisted media fashion, flaming queen, Johnny Weir is flitting around the gridiron like Tinker Bell and if there is something irrelevant and seriously trivial and unrelated to anything recognizable in relation the game... well then, Johnny Weir is covering it and the forces that run the media want us to know that Johnny Weir is an integral part of the whole shebang which, of course, he is not. He's camping it up with a couple of female impersonators who, I think, are actually women but... I don't really know. This is not to say that everyone doesn't have the right to express themselves according to their own personal tastes so long as they do not injure another; that's my liberal failsafe, public position on it. What I actually think I will keep to myself because that is the wiser course and I have come to that late in the game.

By a certain twist of fate, the good offices of friends here and most possibly, supernatural grace, I am able to watch the game in my home today. That's a big deal to me. It means I don't have to go to a bar filled with noisy and belligerent drunks. At least one friend is coming over and I'm looking forward to the event. I went out yesterday and purchased a lot of ingredients for good eating. It should be fun.

I've kind of said all I got to say about that and I still have a lot of space left in the post. I didn't expect that to happen. I thought I would have more to say but I don't. I hope it's a good game. Of course I want my team to win but a good game will make up for any sense of loss otherwise (grin). I do fully expect The Patriots to win and that is surprising because I tend to be one who likes to analyse things impartially. I can only attribute this to an ongoing sensation that keeps reappearing in my head. This is not the usual for me. Usually I have some idea of what might happen and I got my preferences but this time that is all overshadowed by this sensation I keep getting. Of course, if I turn out to be wrong, the good news is that I will learn from that... hopefully. Still... I've been right so far; not that that means anything and THAT is a good thing to keep in mind... too.

You know what? My back is aching a bit because I don't have my usual ergonomic chair. At the moment I only got this lumpy micro-couch so so... I'm going to bid you adieu... until we meet again. Much love.
