Dear Readers,
Greetings to our New Subscribers! Staying Awake is as creatively conceived and written as you could imagine — like a cygnet feeling free by spreads of its little wings — the freedom for which I am grateful! My new web site is up. Take a look here at a whole different style, and do let me know what you think. Thank you!
We discover from history that most early groups of Earthlings became very creative when they felt challenges approaching. It’s no different for us. From infinite aspects of change, it appears Earthlings have been and are in an energetic phase in which civilizations’ advances and setbacks that used to take 20 years now only takes one.
Just think, we’re aware of massive gatherings of feelings; opposites, contradictions, and paradoxes; complex judgments, opinions, evaluations, and solutions. We’re watching the energetic momentum manifest via Internet, and, perhaps, we’re the most well informed citizenries, ever.
Staying Awake’s original promise to its readers was that we’d dwell on miraculous experiences in life. Obviously, I'm adding to that promise, because my curiosity is out of control. All of us global sisters and brothers are in fascinating times!
Illusions’ Extrusions
There is far more to the human’s world than has been taught in our schools, shown in the media, or proclaimed by church and state: All of which are attempting to keep hidden illusions’ extrusions that nettle their now petty existences.
My cosmology has lured this explorer bee to the honey, sniffing the intuitive, nature and science, and vantages of the religious and the sacred. Once cloistered in pious illusory stories, we today observe dreaded religious debacles being squeezed and oozed through cracks in porcelain grails.
The certain purge of oppressions has its upside, too, however nearly unimaginable. It appears our world has been taken over by the ethical. Ethics may be thought of as spontaneous actions to spontaneous situations when feeling an intuitive nudge. Ethical cosmology is a compassionate and an exquisitely powerful presence to imagine the whole of Earthlings to be!
Morals, as I distinguish them now, may be thought as cloaks draped over Earthlings to keep us distracted and forcibly in line by governances of systemic, shaming inventions cloistered in either/or trappings for thousands of years. Morals, I think, insinuate the superiority of ethics.

As industrialized citizens are immersed in business and profit, and remain tethered to divisive moralistic traditions, we can imagine illusions’ extrusions will take a while. And, not without some painful moments of global grief.
So, prepare by considering certainty and hope words of illusion; consider practicing the ‘present moment’ that requires no expectations — that single idea would forever change everyone’s enterprises and companies! Our intuitive “Surprise!” moments of awareness can prepare us for illusions’ cracks and collapses within Earthlings’ onerous matrix. Staying awake to what one focuses upon will increasingly influence intuition, physical health, and emotional well being.
We Were Not Eyewitnesses
Here’s a personal insight to illusions’ want for relevancy; insight into the scope of musical composition and performance are perhaps ideas you’d not thought about. As you read, keep in mind we were not eyewitnesses to human experience and trainings before we were born.
As any classically trained pianist, I’ve studied and performed
pieces composed by classical composers. Getting the notes down with proper
technique after hours of practice is one thing, but styles in which those
pieces are to be played is quite another. For example, performing a Beethoven
piece in the style of his classical period is quite different from playing
his compositions written during the opening of the romantic period in
history. Those are two different historical periods, and two different
types of compositions.
After years of study, performance styles can be nearly intuited from notes
scribbled onto the page by the composer. (Scribbles then printed onto
musical scores.) But, what if a piano coach or teacher didn’t experience
training in ‘proper’ styles of the different composers? The
students’ understanding of the composers’ styles would not
be distinguished from the students’ own personal nuances necessarily
interpreted into the music.
Because no one living was an eyewitness to Beethoven’s, Schumann's,
Mendelssohn's, nor Chopin’s styles, of course pianists have taken
for granted the composers’ intentions were brought forward through
the years by piano performance instructors and coaches, as well as in
recordings of the same pieces performed by many pianists. When stories
and styles (illusions, et al) are handed generation to generation, the
relevance of original intentions of style is only as good as the circles
of performing artists who accept those illusions as such.
Likewise, not being eyewitnesses up through thousands of years, one must intuitively choose what and whom to believe from scores of biographers’ and scribes’ religious interpretations. Biblical texts we indulge today were reinterpreted untold numbers of times from ancient sacred texts written when Earthlings considered Universe sacred.
During the billions of years Universe birthed Earth, and early into the first civilizations, one cosmology might be interpreted as her-story, that is, stories of the sun and its marriage to Mother Earth. Yes, we were not eyewitnesses to early Earthlings who wrote texts proclaiming the sacredness of what we may call today physical sciences and the unseen mind of Universe.
Sanctioned Insanity
Dramatic challenges and upsets occurred during the first civilizations, in which Earthlings began assuming terms of his-story, a cosmology of sanctioned insanity: The human mind and language became tools of the church to separate humans from nature, and oppression took on realms of the religious. Into the medieval era, the male-only church tightened the screws of religion, and sanctioned the educational system, too. Earthlings were then further separated from their intuitive nature with Universe and Sun and Mother Earth.Into today, millions of our global sisters and brothers are not suffering from political and religious amnesia. They might be helping U.S. residents in particular to stay awake to his-story systems we’ve allowed preselected, presumed elected, manly figurines to manage. After millenniums of slayings of women and their children, the religiously obedient and combatively over-bearing have become over-ripened fruit just ready to fall off the tree. A few more years may elapse before heads of systems’ sanctioned insanity will be pickled in their juices of hubris.

In the next ezine we swim into the weird and wonderful oceans of possibilities for humans. Quantum physics’ versions for profoundly renewed consciousness and partnerships with Planet Earth are remarkable, and perhaps not that far away. I want to believe Universe and Sun and Mother Earth we cannot imagine embrace a remembrance of ‘who’ we are.
