I'd been exposed to many large words while reading books by Michener and other great
writers.. and I sort of knew what they meant given the context they were used in, but I
realized that I didn't really know what they actually meant. And, like we see in politics
and the news, words can be used in certain contexts in order to change what they mean.
That's why I thought it would be useful to define the words and terms I use so freely
on this site and in my speaking.
George Harrison - Rising Sun
I also believed it would help to answer a question posed by a minister I met a couple
of years back who said part of the work of the church now is to determine how
Christianity is relevant in a post-modernist society.
I thought it was strange that a minister would question the relevance of Christianity -
or living a faith - in any society, life or being. We all have opinions and ideologies. I
was just in the middle of For the Love of the World. I knew there must be a massive
re-organization of thought required to remove this barrier called relevance.
Here we are in this vast universe - the stars and planets as a single organic being or
unit, each "object" interacting with one another in its own unique ways and
behaviors, based on their own sizes and shapes and weights and gravities.
And then you have our solar system revolving around a single sun... sort of like a
bunch of atoms circulating around a nucleus or core.
And then you have the earth, which is sort of the "center of our earthly
universe". Everything we think or do revolves around the idea that our existence is
based upon our interaction with our planet, and the beings upon it. Of course, we think of
beings as meaning just people. And that these same beings have a finite span of life. In
fact, most people believe that humans are more important than any other creature or being;
that we're special.
And then you have people, who build their entire worlds around the "reality"
called family, community and nation.
Their lives are created by working, buying and consuming, and replacing the old idea of
hunting to "bring home the bacon", with working for companies and corporations,
who provide you the money to take home the bacon.
All those things are made up of substances all made up of atoms, neutrons and
electrons, protons and such.
That's sort of a reverse description o f the holographic nature of the universe. Atoms
put together make p things and people and animals and beings that comprise a part of the
planet and the solar system which are part of the universe. The big things in "the
world" are all made up of the conglomeration or total sum of the little things.
That's what people refer to as the "inter-connectedness" of all things and
beings.
Another example would be to say that I could teach a child to speak up for democracy,
and one day, that child could lead a nation and influence billions of people... one act,
one individual having a rippling or holographic effect on everything they come in contact
with and create in the world.
That's why I call what I wish to create the New World. Because I imagine a new
world where we are not lmited by the controlling influences of those who keep us ignorant
to the power we have as humans, the God given power afforded by knowledge, and exposure to
new and contrasting ideas.
What I'm speaking of now is the Cosmos and Being.
The Cosmos is the universal consciousness, or the total knowledge of humanity and God
in what could easily be described as a "database" of information and theories
available to any one with the knowledge to access it.
The body has autonomic function - things it does automatically to survive. Things like
breathing and swallowing, keeping the heart beating and things like that. The mind
maintains a connection to this universal consciousness at all times, much like keeping a
radio tuned to a radio station.
And, like broadcasting, there are many "stations" to tune into, depending on
whether you want to, say, write music, commune with God or play on a playground.
Meditation and other practices teach you to tune your mind and body to these frequencies.
After a while, you can tune into the frequencies anytime, anyplace. It's actually not
hard to do.
Anyone can do it. It's often called ESP or Remote Viewing.
The state of the Cosmos, or the universal consciousness that has a great effect on the
state of the world, is very dependent upon the state of individual beings. The state of
being of the Cosmos - the mood and intellectual focus of the Cosmos - is greatly
determined by the state of individual beings.
In oher words, when apostates and politicians "hjack a religion" and use
every warning in a Holy Book in order to twist things around to manipulate people through
psychological and economic coercion in order to use fear to generate acquiescence and
compliance - then the Cosmos as a whole becomes fixxated on that fear. What these
apostates also know is that when the bulk of the beings on the planet are focused on
despair, scarcity, poverty, war and all sorts of negative things, their thoughts add to
the Cosmos and then their power of "co-creation" kicks in.
Co-creation is the part of your connection to the Cosmos, the mind of God, that gives
you the power of God. You can create your life by telling God what you aspire to. That's
when God does what the Doobie Brothers talk about "Tell Me What You Want, and I'll
Give You What You Need".
There's a movie out called "The Secret" that describes this co-creation as
the secret of attraction, the idea that if you envision something, the universe, or
Cosmos, will align itself to provide what you need. The result may not look exactly like
what you thought it would be, but you'll get what you ask for. So, be careful what yo ask
for.
In a way, our own states of being, being who we are, acting like we do, loving as we
do, hating as we do, all act like a vote to the Kingdom of God... like when I say the
Holdeck is Open.. I mean, you can have what you want, just think about what you want and
what purpose it will serve. Let's talk about it.
A song I was writing tonight goes like this:
As I gaze upon the moon tonight
I wonder what I'd wish
If I might
Have a wish God had granted
Promised to come true
I wonder what in heaven's name
I wonder what I'd do
It's kind of a folksy tune with a dash of gospel thrown in...
Anyway... what if you could have that one wish, with these limitations:
Everything you wish for must serve the plan of God. And everything must be derived from
love.
Various Harvey & the Moonglows - The Ten Commandments
of Love
It's important that when the Bible says that animals are the cursed of the creation,
that we realize that was not an instruction from God to simply regard them as of secondary
importance to the Cosmos and the planet.
In a way, you might say that animals - birds and bears and bees and all the rest - are
people too. They really are. Each being has a purpose and a function in the world. Each
has different rules of existence and levels of communication and physical limitations, but
they all still ar beings with that same connection to the Cosmos. When the birds are
upset, they "vote" too. So do the sharks and whales and dolphins that keep
beaching themselves and making their presence known, as if to beg for our awareness of the
hardships we are placing on them, the environment and the oceans.
I find it interesting when researching "the food chain" in the Bible, that we
were clearly meant to be vegetarians. One of the "signs" of the end times is
supposedly the coming of the flesheaters.
It could easily be true that cannibalism could emerge if hunger and famine came over
the world. But it's also true that the flesheaters have already come... us. People who eat
meat. And then there ar ehe bacterial infections that will eat your flesh away.
That's the interesting thing about holographic and rippling effects in the nature of
the universe... it occurs over and over again in many different ways. The same example in
another context, over and over.
But, here we are today, meat has become an integral part of our diets, and animals of
all kinds are cursed with the courtesy and respect given to expendable and disposable
toys.
This is one of the ways that I really respect Native American customs, giving thanks
and respect and honor to all things they use - trees to animals for food...
everything. They co-exist as part of the nature and environment they live in. And they
respect all beings.
To answer the need for meat, we breed animals in unhealthy and inhumane conditions, and
mass produce life for the purpose of killing it on enormous scales. We make it nhealthy to
eat, and seel it as being a healthy diet. And it creates an environmental disaster.
So, scientists develop ways of "cloning" meat... while we argue over human
life cloning, human organ cloning on other host animals, Genetically Modified Foods that
produce allergies and aren't nearly as nutritious.... that require the use of harmful
pesticides.
All of these things are examples of behaviors that lead me to the next section.
Duality: Parallel Existence, Reality & the Kingdom of God
The first thing yo need torealize about the Kingdom of God is that you are in the
Kingdom of God. The problem is, people have forgotten to temind you of that because
Duality is something that we all experience, moment to moment, and is a constant
reflection of our state of being now. And now. And now. It changes with each heart beat.
You might be sitting at your desk, and your daughter walks up, and you'd be delighted
at the "interruption". And then the phone rings, and you're annoyed. That's the
state of being and the duality of our spirits constantly coming into conflict with each
other.
One remark that made a huge difference in my general perspectives was when I heard
someone say to someone else:
Bruce Hornsby the Range - The Way It Is
"You know how your mother always nags you about things, and treats you like a
child about things you learned when you were a kid?. Well, what if instead of thinking of
her as an annoyance, you thought of her as someone who loves you so much they just can't
stop showing you their love".
It's like when your conscience nags you about things you do that you know are
"wrong" but do anyway because "it's just how things are done".
Or all the "good things" you don't do because dealing with people would be
too much of a hassle, or there might be a law against it, or you just plain have too much
to do...
Or things you see happening in the world that you don't take a stand against because it
just doesn't seem to do any good. After all, you can't fight city hall.
That's part of the duality. The part that shows up on the material plane of existence,
the "reality" of the physical world that we live in from day to day. The part
that has us go to work and define success as making more money and getting a promotion,
paying taxes on time and voting for candidates we wouldn't choose unless they were foisted
upon us and fraudulently called choices.
That's the part of George Washington who warned us against froming political parties,
and the power structure of the "status quo" who rigged an election in Florida
not only to seize control of a government, but to ensure that the two-party system would
remain intact because people would see clinging to the "mainstream" parties as
the only way to change the course of the nation. Fear would be utilized again to
manipulate the Cosmos, and the beings whose states of being comprise the Cosmos.
And all those negative states of beings alter the outcomes of the world, and these
"powers" know it.
It's the same duality that occurs when we cynically spek of people who conduct business
in the ways of the world - when in Rome, do as the Romans do - and then go to church on
Sunday and are the nicest bunch of people in a community you could find though, many times
only when you obey the rules of their culture).
It's the same reason I stopped doing business with businesses that advertise their
Christianity. It's using God's name in vain, it's apostasy. And, unfortunately, I have
never been treated well by one of these businesses... and that's a shame, because I know
there are good businesses run by Christians.
That's the duality. I'm a good person, and yet I am tempted by the same things as
anyone else. Just as Jesus was. There's the physical world, and the spiritual world. And,
like anyone, I constantly reconcile the differences... between who I know I am and what
principles I claim to base my life upon, and my "effectiveness" at living those
principles, and surviving in a world requiring labor and food.
It's like God, in the Bible, constantly saying "I'll destroy this or that, and
then you'll know that I am God", and then He thinks about it, what he really believes
in and what He's committed to, and acts accordingly... namely, not destroying things,
killing people and flooding the world and such. And doing everything based on the idea of
doing it out of an expression of love.
Instead of striking a child out of anger, God would teach a child out of love. Or
accept responsibility for His own impatience.
And the phrase to consider is not What Would Jesus Do? The real question is, what would
God have Jesus do? To learn what he needed to know and to exemplify and express what God
would want him to say on His behalf? Considering that will allow you to understand that we
truly do live in the Kingdom of God, and that God, and Christianity and faiths of all
kinds, are indeed relevant.
Jesus represented God on Earth.
And that generates the multiple realities and parallel exstences we actually do live
in, inside a Cosmos of consciousness and mental focus manipulated by leaders and teachers.
People who have often made compromises, thinking it is better to compromise on even the
most fundamental of principles in order to make minute, incremental progress, or at least
to be able to say they tried.
Distinguishing the Multiple Realities & Parallel Existences
We live in at least two worlds on this planet. Two realities, two planes of existence
that never should have become separated. They are the planes of physical reality, and the
plane of spiritual reality.
There has always been a battle of hearts and minds on the physical plane, where we are
lead to believe myths about our cultures and religions and heroes in order to generate a
"universal" concensus about thigns... lie, whether it's good or bad to be
Muslim, are the Jews the victims or the aggressors, is terrorism an offensive miltary act
or the result of barbarism?
Part of that battle has been the battle for our souls, using our minds to shape and
mold our perceptions, that eventually lead us to accepting what we believe as right or
wrong, good or bad, of God or against God. That''s where deception has played such a large
part in misleading us.
That is the pat that has caused us to turn our backs on what we know is true, what we
know in our hearts is right and wrong, out of fear and deception.
That's why the Bible says the truth will set you free. When you begin to accept what's
true as opposed to feeling the pressure to believe what you're told is the general
concensus or opinion on an issue, you begin to set your mind free from the myths and lies
that had you trapped in a reality that suppresses you.
The truth God needs you to acknowledge, right now, is not an understanding of the
supernatural or the awesome nature of the universe. He needs you to begin to realize that
the deceivers are not enemies in distant lands, but those in your own government. Wherever
you are. And that includes ministers who believe it is their mission to assert theocratic
control in a way that rationalizes their desire to be politicians on behalf of God, but in
conflict with God's plan.
Accepting this will set your mind free because you will no longer feel alone in your
thinking that something is basically and fundamentally wrong. You will be set free because
it will lead you to make decisions tha tfree you from economic enslavement by corporations
adn government officials who believe they can tax you into giving up certain habits, or
give you price breaks and advertisements to get you to buy miracle drugs that relieve the
healthy depression caused the empty feeling generated by a morally bankrupt leadership and
resultant culture.
That's how things appear on the surface, on the physical or material plane. That's a
description of the "human race" being run in God's Kingdom by people who claimed
and swore they could do it themselves, implement God's plan and still be the
"stars" of the show.
Now we've come to a moment in time when the 1000 year reign of man is coming to an end,
or will continue another 1000 years... at least theoretically. The question, who will win
the battle on the spiritual level? And who can bring that spiritual level into balance
with the physical plane?
The thing your leaders don't tell you that they ARE opposing God on the spiritual
plane. They know full well that they have failed to implement and honor God's plan. And,
they're fighting with every trick and deception they can think of to win... and deceive
you.
George Bush said it himself... this is the battle for the control of the planet for the
next 1000 years. Think of what's going on in the world, and then think of what he was
referring to when he said that. Think of he implications if he and his friends were in
charge of the planet for another 1000 years.
It's not just George Bush. He's just the current person willing to do the dirty work.
Consider that his father and the Council on Foreign relations helped put Bill Clinton in
office. Hillary and Bill Clinton, now running Barack Obama's campaign, received financial
aid from Rupert Murdoch, are popular with the "Federal Reserve" financier
crowds... all of whom are affiliated with the Council and its tyrannical ambitions...
They are most certainly using the material or physical plane to overthrow the Kingdom
of God, and to change your minds about the Kingdom of God, claiming hurricanes (weather
manipulation and modification) and tornadoes and disasters are the wrath of God. Claiming
disasters as retribution. God does not do that.
It's a case of parallel existence... they operate as if fully ensconced in the physical
world, all the while working to overthrow our spirituality. No wonder the world is the way
it is. No wonder Christians believe God's path is to declare military war. No wonder, no
wonder, no wonder.
And you thought it was just the way the world is.
That's why some of the best advice God's given me is to listen to everything, but
consider the source of the information: Who told you that, and why would they have you
believe that. I take it one step further, and say, what would having you believe that
cover up, if they were hiding something.
That may seem paranoid, but it's good training in a time when the Bible says there will
be deception after deception after deception. That's part of why part of God's plan
was to have the elders of a society teach the heritage and the truth of the past to young
people.
Unfortunately, in the United States, and around the world, people have become so
isolated and distraced by the events of the world, they're so busy trying to survive, they
forget to ask questions like 'what kind of world are you leaving your children?" and
what will we do when we retire, that we, as intended, take the attitude of "It's
everyone for themselves".
And still, they sell us hope that sounds like the same hope the last time they built us
up to let us down to build us up and let us down in what must be the most widespread
psychological operation ever performed on a mass of humanity all at the same time.
I want to assist you in breaking the cycle of deception so that we can all truly be
free in the Kingdom of God as God promised long ago. To live not just in the promised
land, but with the beautiful gift of the promised land... global peace and abundance for
all.
Hope has its place. When those inspiring it mean to carry through on the promise.
Enya - Hope Has A Place
I want to ask you to join me in generating a more positive Cosmos... share a dream and
a prayer with me about the future... you see, I'm expecting miracles to happen in the
coming months. Miracles based on my faith in God. And I want share my vision with you, to
create a new reality and a new spiritual and physical reality no longer separated by
deceptions or myths.
When I say "We are 1", this is what I am referring to. Living in the physical
world without giving up the spiritual realm. In fact, encouraging and empowering the
spiritual part of our beings to live in the joy and love of art and music and nature and
creativity that occurs when we are living in ways that include and commune with each other
and all. So that we live in ways that are congruent with that part of us that informs us
the differences between right and wrong, good and bad.
So, what I'd like you to do is imagine this world, this vision of the future, and watch
how the world changes, as we co-create the future of our individual beings, our nations,
our planet and universe.
Watch how it expands, grows and nurtures you as you continue to remind yourself of this
vision.
And remember, the Kingdom of God is not about a world of harsh rules and mandates, it
is about freedom and joy. God does not want you to fear Him. He wants your respect. That's
what the word ""fear" actually means in the Bible, respect.
So take a moment, take a few deep breaths, and take on the idea for a moment that what
you envision is possible, and that the more you want it, the more liekly it is to occu.
And, always remember, just because you think little is possible in this upside down world,
the fact is that everything is possible. Everything. Everything you say is possible is
possible, regardless of what the experts say, regardless of what you hear on the news or
from leaders.
They only want yo to think what they want you to think in order to retain their power
and money.
So, consider what the world would be like if there were no limitations on what is
possible, no one said how it would get done, and the only question we're asking now is,
what reality would you want... in a perfect world, where everything was the "way it's
supposed to be", how would this vision work for you?
Michael Tomlinson - Still Believe

Imagine a world that we could build together from scratch.
Children would be playing all around in our midst, laughing, sharing, always knowing
they are loved, and that their needs will be met. The world is a safe playground for them
all, and it's hard to resist playing on the swings and riding the merry-go-round with them
if only to remember that we're all children deep inside, until the day we die.
And it's perfectly alright to act that way... to play and laugh and share with those
other beings of all kinds around us. After all, we are God's children. That never changed.
That's an ageless truth.
The skies are beautiful, blue and filled with naturally shaped clouds that look like
pieces of cotton pasted in the sky. The weather has been perfect, and the flowers and
grasses look beautiful in the sun, and are properly watered and fed by the crystal pure
rains and the nourishment of the ground that holds them.
The fruit trees are bearing full crops of fruits, providing plenty for our own needs
and the needs of others. the streams are beautiful filled with fish and water skippers and
life of all kinds, flowing through the valleys big and small as it rushes to the sea and
refreshes the beings of the oceans.
We have communities and governments and churches working towards common goals; the
welfare of its citizens, the maintenance of this garden of Eden, this Heaven we live in
called earth, where it is effortless to find ways to resolve all differences and meet the
needs of all people and beings. And each institution understands and respects its role in
this co-creation.
What has been the source of division will be opportunities to share resources and
create unity.
I can't quite find the right words to tell you how beautiful it could've been. And will
be some day. So I put together this page about a wonderful musician, and I hear, a
courageous, wonderful person.
