Messages from the Spirit World

5 years ago almost to the day I began to play around with the idea of Channeling and Automatic Writing. I jumped into the experience and allowed the Spirit to take me. My idea being that I could connect to the deepest aspects of myself and not be bound to the earthly mundane feelings of doubt and fear. What you will see in this entry is the fruits of this exercise. Many times when I post writing from a long time ago I will take the time to edit and clean up the verbiage. In this case since it is writing done via a Channel I will not take the liberties of modifying it in any way. Without further ado I present to you the Messages I received directly from the Spirit World:


  1. The beginning is vital, as is your life to the completion of the journey, join forces with others to bring about the transformation already rumbling.

  1. Now the awakening is before us and we are players. So are we going to stand behind fearful men and women who scream and turn us into hateful beings or are we going to get on the love train and leave behind the shackles of imprisonment.

  1. The soothsayers, pundits, gurus, and teachers of old were right and continue to be right, the world we see is not real in the sense we believe it to be as are we not the solid entity we claim ourselves to be, this is known. If not known in the waking fiber of the day to day consciousness at the very least it is known in the consciousness of the human ape.

  1.  Mindfulness is your field of power your force field surrounding you with protection, use it always. When you slip gently return, simply, no big show, this is the crisp way of life, the precise way. This is the true operation of ones habits. The longing that arises from time to time becomes more tender as the practitioner softens, melting into experience direct and warm, lost between the space of reality and dream, the liquid.

  1. Bury your consciousness into the it of now and experience it without the veil, the overlay, see life in its natural state. So much energy gets wound into making an experience happen and losing the experience itself. The worked up nature of our speedy hearts causing crashes of ups and turns that crash out of the flow and rhythm of that taking place around us.

  1. Positive is infinitely more powerful and stands over the show of false power, or cowardice, true courage builds through the fruits borne of practice over time.

  1. Finding ourselves means finding out what we are not and continuing to eliminate all of those things until we have what is left being us. This thing that is left will whither away like dust upon our deaths and become one with all again. This is our final step in the journey but for now we must continue our preparations for the next unfolding.

  1. So we meander our lives in our sleep unable to wake up until something jolts us awake, or another possibility is that we are gently coaxed to an alert state, nonetheless no matter how you arrive once you get there what is next. All too often it is the slip, we slip back into the comforts or discomforts of our usual day to day way of handling life by closing in on the visceral real and immediate and instead conjuring the unreal the distracting and the not-real.

  1. In order to pass back into the real state we must begin to acknowledge that what is happening at any given time is important and should be recognized from the primary point of experience. Now is wow. Stand up and take a breathy look at the landscape. Now tell yourself, “This is my world, and with it I can create whatever I want and this will be carried out by remaining in harmony with the universe.”

  1. Enlist the powers of the spirit as well as the power of the living. Coordinate a pantheon of powers behind you as your guide. Allow the fruition of knowledge to blossom from your tongue only to the initiated. Do not embark on foolishness with fools, and know when to open your cards to scrutiny. There are forces that do not understand the true power and thus will use their own confusion to destroy you and waver your resoluteness. This is dangerous times and thus the information culled from the depths of eternal wisdom must be both, propagated and protected, embodied, and recreated in order for the translations of the past to resonate in the present and guide the seekers of the future. There is no reason to rewrite the books of sages but rather to directly contact the wisdom material and embody it in its flowering both in the primary sense of authentic luminous presence and also in the deeds we energize our days with, and also in the wisdom we breathe and in the proof shown through the improvements of the people around us. Never question the method that yields results only question the methods of others.

  1. The vision comes out of a cave and when the light is drawn upon the situation the answers lie and then only then can the one pointedness take center stage. It is in the next phase that decisions become made to show future past. No dramatic, flow ebb and tide but do allow changes to swirl, allow middle time, speaking time, out time, remember the home can be likened to a jail cell. Be out in the flow of tide of people and change. Guard your mind among others you will be surrounded in all directions by people who have not had your training
 12. Here this is a long term project in will and will manifest in blossoming powerful ways there is no cap, no limit to the possibility of the unveiling as minds unite the synergy will be deafening so look into the future by seeing the present in its fullness


13. Now play with the goddess of infinite beauty this is the charge of ever youthfulness so be aware of our vitality and your warmth as it emanates appearance is so crucial to the lessons that come from the schools of collected minds and so we begin to create the new fiber of new thought and new chances so we can find yourself in a network of broad and hopeful and swing into the world aware that as distraction comes we can ward it with our vigilance so we are thankful ever for the positive messages that come and know blessing when they come some call it karma all lost in a name is a flock of needy souls so trapped in division so we lose ourselves in a grave of thunder and then we wonder why the fire is in our homes so we need not run into our graves as living beings we must rise out of the ashes of broken lives shattered dreams and gear ourselves up for the fire, children of the future bring our flames to the torch for the bonfire of fiery new ways of thought as the old ways become challenged we cater to the bringing of the tides and watch as the old gets swept up and transformed like you my very child who easily could have fell in the clutches of the evil forces preying in the minds and doorway, alleys, and lifelines of the scary and cults, the fire of the independent mind will keep all of us clothed in knowledge which will never be stripped away we can never go bare even if our minds are ever under attack


14. Bombs are the scariest part of the technological age, ward off the aggression of fighting instinct. No longer is this acceptable, we are not safe around all of these guns, so we need to be peace, and act peace. Love peace, live, after you take peace into your heart and let it rest there all day long, and take it to bed with you at night, then you have given love a true home in your heart. Take advantage of the sights and sounds, the language of life, the dance and the spark, never run away from the magnificence and the trickiness as you go about your day to day, say hello to the flower and the cat in front of the house, see the dog barking behind the gas station, know the smell of oil filling up in front of you, the sparks and jumps of a vibrant landscape skillfully pictures world-building in our hearts again, chipping away at our Lego of destiny stapling our minds, fastened to the future knowing only the present will carry us there. Trust in trust and know what comes belongs as do you, learn from the great invention and let it all go all the time, constantly refresh your palate, restart the engines, give yourself a new chance always

15. March forth into battle with the lesser heathens and devils, hold thy mind ever vigilant against malevolence, travail the path with insight and caution. Along the pitfalls of everyday existence lies choice in the choiceless mirror. Encased in mind is eternal wisdom which when brought forth blossoms into fruit for living beings to nourish their weary spirit. Rising from the confusion of beleaguered minds is a beacon, a light, the eternal light, some have the benefit of recognizing the light and purifying themselves in its glow. The basking of the light of eternal consciousness and expansive wisdom is brighter than any force broadcast over any method. There is no P.R. campaign that can counteract the eternal manifest. So pay heed to its manifest and understand in your soul beyond word and concept this truth, burn this into your brain until the words disappear as you will one day too. Watch as the concepts fall away from you like dead skin. The peeling away of the layers yields forth the mind of eternal wisdom, such glory in the practice and path devoted to blossoming my internal rose, my heart that reaches tentacles of spirit luminosity and knowing, no question, inscrutable and undefeatable due to where we stand above and beyond the fabrications of false hope, false doctrine and impure intention purify thyself so that you may enter the kingdom of heaven on this earth, within your lifetime.


 Summary:

The beginning is vital, as is your life to the completion of the journey, join forces with others to bring about the transformation. Bury your consciousness into the It of now and experience it without the veil, or overlay, and see life in its natural state. So much energy gets wound up into making an experience happen and losing the experience itself. Mindfulness is your field of power your force field surrounding you with protection, use it always. When you slip gently return, simply, no big show, this is the crisp way of life, the precise way. Allow changes to swirl, allow middle time, speaking time, out time, and remember the home can be likened to a jail cell. Be out in the flow and tide of people and change. Enlist the powers of the spirit as well as the power of the living. Coordinate a pantheon of powers behind you as your guide. Trust in trust and know what comes belongs as do you, learn from the great invention and let it all go all the time, constantly refresh your palate, restart the engines, and give yourself a new chance always.

Writing and Music

Sweet Toof Williamsburg Brooklyn NYC Street Art


Music often has a fractal structure like writing and nature. Rudy Rucker compares a novel to a score composed by an orchestra of characters. I think of a looper laying down all his tracks before he begins his song. Rucker also mentions the soloist whether it is the sax or the guitar. I think of the freestyle emcee. In a rock and roll badass kind of way Rucker speaks of the power chords as god chords, and advises us of the themes of his beloved sic fi genre. The writer builds up the concepts, juggling the action, pressing it forward, the ideas moving. The musician uses time, rhythm, repetition, patterns, and alternation. The musician becomes a radio antenna accepting the energy as fuel to help create their song.

Fractals start small and keep building in complexity infinitely. New ideas keep breaking off and expanding, all the while echoing back to the source of it's original trajectory. They say the eyes are the window of the soul, so then the doors of the mind hold hidden worlds, and the world is likened to a building. On the roof we see the infinite realm of possibility and in the basement we respect the underbelly. All the while we are advised to remember the hierarchy, the outside, the inside, and the secret.

Fear, Writing, and Presence



When things are on track we churn through life smoothly not even thinking about circumstances too closely. Not until the rug gets pulled out from under us do we find ourselves face to face with fear. This is when the pedal hits the metal and we need to start looking at our lives more closely. We can either deal with fear or run away into distractions, bad habits, mindless TV shows, you name it. We can see the trap and instead work directly with the situation, puncturing holes in the veil of confusion with the sword of insight. We must stay focused, keeping our grip on the big picture, our goals and aspirations.


Thich Nhat Hanh tells a story where a man came to interview him about all of his good works. Nhat Hanh advised him not to waste his effort writing a book about him, and instead to write a book about himself, and how he is learning to work with his own mind. This is the invitation for all of us to tell our personal journey firsthand.


Some more thoughts:
  • Sensory Overload versus Media Deprivation
  • Finding your spot in the world, taking your place.
  • Keep Sight of your Definite Chief Aim
  • Nature is made of fractals
  • Starting with a Framework and Building Outward from there.
  • Become a community manager  

Stepping out of the Shadow Artist's Cocoon



As artists we must not hide in the shadows, but need to step into the light and proclaim ourselves as artists. It is foolish to wait for inspiration and expect genius to arrive at our doorstep without doing the daily work necessary to dance with our muse. Nothing happens when no effort is applied. I liken being an artist to being a king. As an artist you are at the center of a sweeping drama that is begging for you to unfold in the court of reality. As artists I insist that we all take our thrones, sit regally, and survey the world clearly, so that we can begin our dance.

Build it and they will come Julia Cameron tells us in her work centered around removing creative blocks. I accept her invitation and move into the foreground prepared to explore the universe seeking to reveal itself to me.

We are as humans an integral part of nature even if we have removed ourselves from that world in so many ways. Communing with nature doesn’t have to mean moving into the woods, we can engage with nature directly each day. This is our bridge into our souls and it is vital to our well-being. Rudy Rucker begins his Writer’s Toolkit talking about nature and fractals, how we are made up of smaller and smaller components.

Since this is a written piece let me continue to focus on writing, and bring in the elements mentioned in Rucker’s Toolkit. He begins with picking out a title. This is the rallying cry that all of your thoughts circle. This is also the tidbit that people will search for you under so you got to get a title you like and that is original so you don’t get lost in the pack.

How to churn out ideas through bulletpoints

  • Set up Bulletpoints in your blogposts
  • Then go back to your most popular blogposts
  • Use individual bulletproofs to expand themselves into full blogposts also
  • You will have a never-ending supply of material when you match your recycled most popular content with your new and current content
  • Take one idea at a time, tweak it, and keep adding to your toolkit
  • Make sure you help others along the way, that is how you build up good karma, acting selflessly
  • Try things out, and only stick to what is working
