That’s the possibility I bring to clients’ businesses. ~ DM 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 (b 1879) Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense. ~ Buddha Cosmology One of the three philosophies in metaphysics is cosmology: The study of the origin and evolution of Universe, especially with such of its characteristics as space, time, causality, and choice. Keep Your Imagination Under Control. You must sometimes correct it, sometimes assist it. For it is all important for our happiness and balances reason. The imagination can tyrannize, not being content with looking on, but influences and even often dominates our life. It can make us happy or burden us, depending on the folly that it leads us to. It can make us either content or discontent with ourselves. Before some people it continually holds up the penalties of action and becomes the mortifying lash of fools. To others the imagination promises happiness and adventure with blissful delusion. It can do all this unless you lord over it with the most prudent self-control. ~ Baltasar Gracian (b 1601), Spanish prose writer (from The Art of Worldly Wisdom, translated by Joseph Jacobs) Pray: To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy. ~ Ambrose Bierce (b 1842), American satirist, critic, poet, short story writer, editor, and journalist If a spiritual unfolding on earth is the hidden truth of our birth into Matter, if it is fundamentally an evolution of consciousness that has been taking place in Nature, then man as he is cannot be the last term of that evolution: he is too imperfect an expression of the spirit, mind itself a too limited form and instrumentation; mind is only a middle term of consciousness, the mental being can only be a transitional being. If, then, man is incapable of exceeding mentality, he must be surpassed and supermind and superman must manifest and take the lead of the creation. But if his mind is capable of opening to what exceeds it, then there is no reason why man himself should not arrive at supermind and supermanhood or at least lend his mentality, life and body to an evolution of that greater term of the Spirit manifesting in Nature. ~ Sri Aurobindo (b 1872), Indian nationalist, scholar, poet, mystic, evolutionary philosopher, yogi, guru No education that is not founded on art will ever succeed. ~ Margaret Mead (b 1901), cultural anthropologist, focused studies on problems of child rearing, personality, and culture It takes a certain maturity of mind to accept that nature works as steadily in rust as in rose petals. ~ Esther Warner Dendel (b 1910), writer, artist Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. ~ Jonas Edward Salk (b 1914), American physician, researcher, best known as inventor of the first polio vaccine Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum. ~ Thomas Stephen Szasz (b 1920), critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, Professor Emeritus in Psychiatry at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York USA If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up. [...] No woman is really an insider in the institutions fathered by masculine consciousness. When we allow ourselves to believe we are, we lose touch with parts of ourselves defined as unacceptable by that consciousness... ~ Adrienne Rich (b 1929), American feminist, poet, teacher, writer Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is. ~ Mary Anne Roadacher-Hershey, author, speaker You are awareness disguised as a person. ~ Eckhart Tolle (Ulrich Tolle) (b 1948), contemporary writer on spirituality © 2004-2006 All rights in all media reserved.

Hello Everyone,

Let’s be grateful we’re here, still doing business as usual or not so usual — let’s love every single moment of creation! Our fascinations for our global sisters’ and brothers’ existence should be enough to get us out of bed in the mornings!

I’m totally amazed to watch the evolution of Staying Awake. Who would’ve thought I’d dare write my fascination for psychology in world affairs, which appear governed by a peculiar scheduled agenda of combative conflicts wreaking of religion? Who would’ve thought I’d associate current turmoil with ancient sacred texts’ forecasted changes between Sun and Mother Earth?

Indeed, peculiar audacious synchronicities! Contentious political imposters parlay their noxious agendas while a pretentious celestial clock ticks. I’m boggled beyond belief, pacing the floor some nights, asking, ‘To what end?’

Direct Personal Evolution:
Quantum Relations

Let’s fathom our consciousness in a quantum physics’ world. To direct your personal evolution with quantum relations, it’s necessary to have eyes to see, for example, that religious, political, economical, educational, and commercial systems to which we’re beholden, include psychological controls. Moreover, those controls were inherent in the colonial system, proving efficient enough to manipulate humans in smaller communities.

But, colonialism (control by one power over a dependent people) has seen or is about to see its final days. Old forms of control have alas been conquered by the new — indebtedness to banks.

Those, who can spare the attention, notice global angst is causing lids to pop off political and religious soup pots, revealing recipes of deceit. Emerging are mutual disinterests, exposing illusive profiteers who deliberately leverage their superstructured systems by crying wolf for the benefit of gawking taxpaying hirelings.

For our well being, hold onto ideas that systems are scrims; the filmiest screens; the illusory distractions nearly hiding forms of consciousness about which no one is expert. And, away we go into relations in fields of the quantum.

Intentionally directing one’s personal evolution may seem ludicrous or blasphemous, at least until grievous ideologies prove irrelevant or threatening within a person’s comprehension of quantum relations. Should you make it so, this ezine awakens you to man-made ideologies drilled into our magnificent species for millennia; ideologies treacherously enforced, cloaking a preknowledge of Sun’s changes to Earth’s physical landscapes.

Simmering Energy Soup

Imagine purpose, destiny, and intention as swirling micro energies, looping within the bigger pot of universal macro energy fields, like ingredients in a simmering energy soup. Do you ever visualize the humongous whorl of energies inside Earth’s core coming into your itty bitty body through the soles of your feet, and then swirling back into the humongous core again? That is called creation: The incredibly intelligent flow of life energy found in rocks and in us, pulsing musically and rhythmically instant after instant after instant for millennia after millennia after millennia.

Waves of gargantuan gravitational energies cannot be reversed nor stopped by any kind of human thought or ritual, although we’ve been trained to believe it so. But, we can direct our personal evolution, although we’ve been trained to believe it not so.

So, how does one so seemingly insignificant intentionally direct the desired outcome of one’s life? Species? Planetary home? Relating quantumly may be the only solution as Earthlings move into the staggering energy changes apparent now and in forthcoming cycles between Sun and Mother Earth. Seeking comfort from uncertainty through relationships, Earthlings huddle together in harmonious groups within current simmering systems, which will eventually erode the sharing of human perception and experience. Early signs are upon us as people no longer wish to share the same space, the same timeline, nor the same density of feeling with others outside their realm of understanding.

Now, add Sun’s energy changes to simmering populations of confusion and angst, mostly over religious beliefs and forced indebtedness, and we have not one but two simmering soups. One soup invented to upset Earthlings, to which I ask, again, ‘To what end?’ And, the other soup a natural evolution eventually altering Earth’s landscapes and Earthlings’ behaviors.

Stupefied Earthlings (redundancy intended!), and I’ll only speak for U.S. residents in particular, have been marketed a religious-political charade from the 17th century to today. Let’s look back even further, some 10,000 years: It appears the ancient world’s revelation of what we call astronomy and astrology had been turned upside down over millennia to develop three political monotheisms as we know them. Ancient alerts to Earth’s extreme landscape changes had been embellished with prophecies for three messiahs marking ‘end of the world.’ And, I grieve. I weep because combats and perishing of lives do not have to be happening but for a few men who continue chaotic games of deceit for colossal profit and gain. We gorge on outrageously merciless platitudes, and, equally so, project denials of religious and governmental dupes too painful to otherwise (openly) admit.

The industrial aged psyché has been compromised. To this day, out of immense frustration, Earthlings regenerate addictive beliefs and behaviors for ingredients in the soup matrix; we project discriminations and superstitions; commercially market unrealities out of anxieties in business. We pay little or no heed to psychical violence marketed in least despicable insinuations by the church and its obsequious politicians. All of which layer illusions upon illusions, distractions upon distractions from the physical care of our bio-spiritual planet, compromising the notion of Universe’s undaunted intelligent care for the whole of creation and its species awaiting their entries.

Good News

The good news about exchanging old illusions for quantum relations is imagining an evolution into the most elegant and exquisitely empathic existence for all species.

Maybe, the best antidote for feeling bereft by deaf rascals heading phony religious governments is to think, to be ourselves: Practice attentiveness to your presence by asking the (physical) heart the simplest questions about your well being. Then, instantly listen to the body’s response by way of feelings, and be quick to observe synchronicities. Get in touch with the idea that you’re a dependent person still living upon a dependent planet. Determine the relationship you desire with Universe, even though that’s not exactly how we’ve been encouraged nor trained.

Imagine your body a frequency of synchronicity. Trust your sensations of feeling liberated and suppressed, and any nuance of inauthenticity.

Direct your personal evolution by contemplating your very small existence in all of the universe. Notice your breathing. Then, be exultant! You are a living sentient being capable of relating quantumly! To lighten grounding, quickening, indiscriminate gravitational energies, there’s nothing like hearing yourself telling the truth; sharing levity, love, sociability, and common sense. Those unable to share your sensibilities will just slip away.

Taking action when called upon is exemplary, and, in the meantime, staying the course of exercising personal evolution is quite enough. Remain poised, as we all step into relating quantumly with a consciousness guided by a yet imagined language. The good news is predictably so: We will remember ‘who’ we are, because evolutionary paths of Universe with Sun and Mother Earth will remind us.

There’s no probability of imagining too wildly. More and more is possible, and less and less is certain. One’s awakened cosmology comprehends what is, as if all of it is a single quantum that could alter in a dawning instant.

In the next Staying Awake, we explore reasonable unreasonable questions revealing irrelevant paradigms, philosophies, and words that have been around for centuries.
