I think with intuition. The basis of true thinking is intuition. Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells a man his purpose in life. One never goes wrong following his feelings. I don’t mean emotions, I mean feelings, for feelings and intuition are one. ~ Albert Einstein This ezine exalts feminine perception while alerting most men to the same; as both genders merge passions of life, their complementary energies hail awesome acclaim. ~ David Moorhead

Our Earth and a most engaging sun, both capable of sensitive cognition, will from their bond reflect to us any imaginable human intention. ~ DM

Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering, There is a crack in everything; That's how the light gets in. ~ Leonard Cohen News is what powerful people don't want you to hear. Everything else is publicity. ~ Bill Moyers The greatest blessing bestowed on a people is the absence of ignorance in public office. ~ Confucius You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers. ~ Gandhi The quote below is attributed to Marianne Williamson, although Nelson Mandella quoted it in a famous speech. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Marianne Williamson Staying Awake Archive and publication dates.

Dear Readers,

Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. I hope that sounds as if I have been carousing with gratefulness, because I actually have been. Be prepared for a ten minute read; I’ve packed more than the usual picnic of goodies into this ezine.

If any of you write your thoughts or journal just to see what comes out of your hearts, you will understand the fascination I have for unexpected ‘ah-Ha’ insights that sometimes stun, or cause one to seemingly leap light years within their thoughts.

Off and on for more than 15 years, I have referred to the book titled A Course in Miracles, and little did I know that the word illusion, which is prominent in the book, would have increased meaningfulness as I peer into dramatic changes happening in various places, planet wide.

Last week, a friend reminded me to read one of the lessons in A Course in Miracles, and since my reading, I have experienced several of those, shall I call them, pings of awareness. I want to say those pings override ‘ah-Ha’ moments, because pings were felt or sensed – I am not entirely sure how they manifested – in the area inside my chest.

To say the least, I have spoken gratitude and felt instances of joy more than usual. On one hand, I’m nearly gleeful with insight; on the other, those “Surprise!” pings of insight were experienced while mulling today’s worlds of business, manipulated by over bearing monetary affairs.

Later in this ezine, you will discover why I believe intuited instances of “Surprise!” occur.

From conscious intention, I am growing increasingly fond of beholding the cunning of powerful leaderships’ illusions that have generated control inside all sorts of businesses, as well as general populaces for more than two millenniums.

Gratitude for the insightful game of unconcealing illusions in business is the underpinning of this newsletter. Staying Awake is not about popular issues of the day. You may depend on Staying Awake becoming a sampling of a journalist’s investigation into our collective intentions, sensibilities and curiosities while attending our (illusory) experiences at hand.

The Game I Play

Before we talk about gaming, here is my definition for the word illusion, and I giggle, because there is little wonder why I couldn’t see illusions’ purposes for longer than I want to admit. Here’s why.

Illusions are ideas, in either spoken or written forms, that generate activities and behaviors out of fear. It appears illusions pertain to our pocketbooks, and, in today’s expanding corporate management of affairs, ideas of one’s personal pocketbook prompted my generous attention. Illusions can be regenerated and recycled to manipulate outcomes by those in traditional masculine positions.

You name most any topic, and, with next to no stretch of the imagination, I believe you would probably discover things in our lives have been initiated and accomplished with manipulation – by stealthy illusion. At first, that could be a fretful assessment; it was for me.

Okay, here’s the game I play. It isn’t the sort scored with hash marks, but the kind requiring one question that leads to the next with no predictable rhyme nor reason, and certainly no absolute answers – just noticing an intelligent, inquiring process occurring through one’s intuitive senses.

Here are some examples.

• Are we humans eminently adequate for the job of intuiting business’ myriad falsehoods and cover ups?
• Are Earthlings educating ourselves about unethical financial arrangements around our planet?
• What are other great theaters for staging long held illusions?
• Do humans see how well we collectively continue to play significant roles in theaters of illusion?

Right now, at this very moment, I am touched to the core with remembrances of people who likely knew, better than me, the nature of forgiveness in business. Perhaps, those sensitive to the nature of business had already experienced abuse from manifestations of preposterous illusions, generated out of masculine energy. I am humbled by presuming their seeming wisdom in forgiving the offenses of unsuspecting employees and associates, for whatever reason, and for any ensuing, unpleasant result.

Masculine ad nauseam

Although I’ve used the word intention, ad nauseam, I now openly question popular, insensitive, and monetarily profitable uses of the word. When spotlights shine upon the bigger strokes of power, we inadvertently gave masculine generated deceptions, the curtain veiling those powers begins to rise in the theater of illusion.

I suggest we have been trained by every way possible to disregard the wearisome results of maintaining illusions; we have become accustomed to masking disappointments when, for instance, money matters or personal relationships, we say we want created or resolved, don’t happen.

When deeply weighed in thought, one begins to sense the gigantic effects of subjugation and oppression between and within both genders. So, it is not about genders; it is about illusions that generated an imbalance between feminine and masculine energies prevalent in business. These days, the imbalance is right in front of our noses. This is not new news to females, nor to sensitive minded males!

As I like to put it, ‘just follow the money,’ and observe the gender that generally reigns. As an extreme example, is there any wonder juggernaut corporations’ preponderances of masculine energies are getting stirred up? Is there any wonder mammoth bank accounts have been built by concealed, unethical, linear minded accounting practices, or by acceptable, unethical behaviors between employees?

Better than tossing entire business worlds into a bin called the unethical, let’s add some feminine observation into the word unethical by suggesting that stalled, depressed feelings, which unethical practices generate, are passed from one human to the next, and likely deposited into the physical heart.

Just wander about in the theater of long range consequences of unspoken, stacked up feelings of unattended disappointment, regret, or overlooked nurturing energies, in the masculine, ad nauseam.

Cosmic Songster

A big grin appeared on my face after reading the section above. The cosmic songster, that is our universe, doesn’t know the meaning of feminine and masculine; doesn’t know the language of money; nor cognizant of written or spoken language forms.

But, the universe performs its own song, its own harmonious orchestration of all energies just by its very presence. Universal, interrelated energies we tag as feminine and masculine, I like to presume, are singing their own big-time, boisterous duet around Earth even as you read this.

Every single day, my fondness for that cosmic songster’s intelligence wants to explore it further, because I have engaged a dependence upon its ultimate resolution of challenges as we know them, however slowly those resolutions evolve. Any displacement of misused masculine energies that generate illusions, that abusively manipulate Earthlings and our animals, will be welcomed with open arms, and song.

Feminine in Real Time

These days are dramatic with exchanges of one illusion for the next; our worlds of business, animated by mixed up illusions and mixed up meanings, are multiplying dis-easiness.

So, what then is real, and where is the beauty of it all? I have one marvelous revelation to pose.

Staying Awake originally began by publishing stories exposing those “Surprise!” moments of manifestation. I actually believe those surprises are feminine energies attempting to get our attention in physical forms – I am calling those “Surprise!” moments, Feminine in Real Time. What an absolutely overwhelming, promising notion that deserves its own ongoing revelation in Staying Awake.

Last week, I wanted to pound the pavement with the newly revealed insight, but, as the zany comedian, Robin Williams, in effect, once said that you can act tipsy with crazy about certain things only in certain places.

Feminine energies near magically set us up for elegant displays of what, itself, has been subjugated for millenniums, as well as demonstrating in physical form full ranges of possibilities from horrific to beatific.

With coaching, teaching, and guidances from insightful sojourners, we may expect clearer understandings of our grounded mindsets that pull us along in activities we call business. With some savvy, we could relearn to cooperate with our near forgotten but crowned nature by celebrating Feminine in Real Time.

In gratitude, I remain yours…
