Fear Less. Live More. A memorable message from Stefan Hunt who I had the pleasure of hanging out with during his most recent trip to the states. If you have a moment you should check him out. Check out his book “We’re All Going To Die”
Should there ever be a sequel to the book "An Incredible Journey - The First Story", 2018 will be one of the chapters that will require a good few pages. It will be a defining year for First Aberdeen. Restructured during 2017, Aberdeen is now managed strategically from Glasgow and operationally the team is split between Aberdeen and Larbert. There is very little Aberdeen based staff now have direct control over.
One of the big challenges over the last decade has been the increasing pressure from Glasgow to restructure Aberdeen drivers pay and conditions which are considerably better than other First depots in Scotland and according to one former First Director, better than Lothian Buses too. Of course the Aberdeen employment market is radically different to other parts of Scotland where driver recruitment is much easier, largely down to competition from the oil and gas sector. Now the barrier of a local Aberdeen management team has been removed and the oil and gas sector has been laying off more than it recruits, Glasgow has seized the chance to push through a new contract. Only four drivers voted for the new conditions (one of which now admits he got confused and crossed the wrong box) in a decision that First Scotland MD Andrew Jarvis has described as "disappointing" and one driver described as "turkeys not voting for Christmas", First is pushing ahead with 12 weeks legal notice of change to the drivers conditions which is expected to start a protracted period of industrial action by driving staff. It is likely First Aberdeen drivers will withdraw from driving for up to two hours a day taking buses of the road between school times similar to the last dispute in 2009. That dispute was different as drivers were pushing for increased pay in conditions. This time they are simply refusing to accept a pay cut for longer working hours.
Around 20 First drivers have made it known they will leave the company if the changes are implemented as they stand in a move that will see the company lose many of its Platinum and hydrogen drivers while others have indicated they will take early retirement at the earliest opportunity. Anticipating this First have been actively recruiting new drivers, particularly as the new contracts will restrict the ability of driver to work significant overtime due to the longer driving hours taking shifts to the max of UK legislation.
For First management the change will vastly reduce the single biggest cost at Aberdeen depot enabling it to minimise the impact of service cuts as Aberdeen is forced to meet high targets set by First Bus for number of passengers per bus per hour designed to maximise profit to enable parent FirstGroup meet its challenging debt repayment commitments.
For the drivers they fear less time at home with their family due to longer shifts with more time, upaid, stuck in the City Centre without enough time to make it home. They also fear the financial impacts of reduced pay and less overtime as many drivers struggle to pay mortgage payments higher than drivers elsewhere in the UK.
For the passenger it seems likely bus travel will be disrupted off peak in the near future making students travelling to university and patients travelling to hospital and doctor appointments very difficult. It will also damage further the market for passengers travelling to shops, already in decline as the online market grows, Asda again expanded its online operation in Aberdeen by 20% last week as demand continues to grow. Longer term the passenger fears that a prospective service network change at the end of March will bring significant cuts to services to ARI, the Airport and night time links.
Recruitment analysts in Aberdeen also point to growing recruitment in the old and gas sectors as older workers take early retirement under the pressure of downsizing on their workload which could very well give First Aberdeen a perfect storm in late 2018 as the many ex oil and gas sector workers being employed as drivers quit to go back to the industry. As one worker put it a six week oil and gas contract can pay more than a year driving buses for First.
There are also health and safety fears being pushed by the Unite union over the risk of drivers becoming tired at the wheel.
37639 on the much neglected Platinum concept on Union Street at 10am in the morning with very few First buses to be seen. How many will still be running by the end of the year?
Whenever I see scarecrows, a lot of thoughts rush to/out of my mind, as if a depressurised
aeroplane at a crushing altitude had suddenly developed a leak. A few of the thoughts
are thoughtful; some are annoyingly silly and others just obscure. One of the thoughts
is: when we make scarecrows we invariably make human figures, don’t we? So, does that mean we all assume (unknowingly?) that we all look SCARY to other living creatures?
Very possibly!
But I have seen some of the birds resting on the scarecrow itself, rather enjoying and
scanning the field for food or grains, an ineffective scarecrow for sure. Or should I
assume for a moment that some of the birds actually know Marie Curie’s quote:
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less?
I don’t know.

The 25.2-metre long female skeleton of the blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus, named Hope has been hanging in Hintze Hall since July 2017. Natural History Museum. Cromwell Rd, London SW7 5BD.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to have lived (it has a heart the size of a small family car). Small-sized figures of people (on the staircase, standing next to Charles Darwin’s statue) are discerned in the photograph in order to accentuate the enormous size of Hope's skeleton. Hope is so called to highlight the powerful story she tells about man’s relationship with the natural world. Hope was beached on March 26, 1881 near the mouth of Wexfor Harbour in Ireland. In 1934 her skeleton was initially suspended in the Museum’s Mammals’ Gallery.
By the middle of 20th century the blue whale was on the brink of extinction. The species started being protected in 1966, so today there are about 20,000 blue whales in the world, playing a crucial role in sustaining their ecosystem and habitat.
Natural History Museum was opened in April 1881. It was designed as a cathedral to Nature with the aim to reveal the beauty and diversity of nature. The Museum is one of London’s most recognisable and iconic landmarks. At its centre there is the most evident exhibit, a true exhibit itself in its own right: Hintze Hall. Natural light streaming in through the windows picks out details in its terracotta decorations, stained glass and mosaic floor. Wide, round-arched bays along each side house some other of the Museum’s many treasures. The Hall’s core aim is to be an iconic introduction to Nature.

EXPLORE: 14! - Thank You, dear friends!!!
To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.
To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.
To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.
To let go is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.
To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.
To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.
To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is to fear less and love more
because: The time to love is short

Just back from the funeral service of our dear friend who passed away.
Very sad and yet elated, because we met so many other dear friends, whom we haven't seen and spoken to for many years, heard the latest and not so latest news.
Impressions of the church service:
Two large hearts of roses, a red one on the altar with rose petals strewn across the altar and a red rose lying across the bible, the other heart of white roses, beautiful wreath, interestingly made up of mostly red coloured flowers!
An church filled up to the last place with mourners, including babes and oldies, all very dignified and although sad, with a happiness in their eyes too because our friend's suffering is over but with sadness over his wife and family.
Wonderful choir, so touching.
One of the sons playing an own composition on the recorder, accompanying it with a few words about the 'birth' of it and how he played it to his father only days before he died. Imagine, being able to play at your own dad's funeral! ALL those emotions going into the instrument, the rendition and out to all of us, sitting there and listening up!
Another friend singing a farewell song, accompanied by his wife on the organ....
A touching service, comfort from listening to and marvelling over the curriculum, written by the deceased himself, only a few weeks ago - We saw him in front of us, it was SO him....
And now, it's up to us to LET HIM GO!

~ Swedish Proverb
THIS idea of the group-soul seems to many students novel and difficult; perhaps an Oriental simile may help us to understand it more readily. They tell us that the group-soul is like the water in a bucket, while if we suppose a tumbler full of water withdrawn from that bucket, we shall have a representation of the soul of the single animal. The water in the glass is for the time quite separate from that in the bucket, and it takes the form of the glass which contains it. Suppose that we put into that glass a certain amount of color-ing matter, so that the water in it acquires a distinctive hue of its own; that coloring matter will represent the qualities developed in the temporarily separated soul by the various experiences through which it passes.
The death of the animal will be typified by pouring back the water from the glass into the bucket, when the coloring matter will at once spread through the whole of the water, tinting it faintly. In exactly the same way, whatever qualities have been developed during the life of the separated animal will be distri-buted through the whole group-soul after his death.
It would be impossible to take again out of the bucket the same glass of water, but every glassful taken out afterwards will necessarily be colored by the matter brought in from that first glass. If it were possible to take out of the bucket exactly the same molecules of water, to reproduce the first glassful exactly, that would be a veritable reincarnation; but since that is not possible, we have instead the re-absorption of the tem-porary soul into the group-soul - a process in which, nevertheless, everything that has been gained by the temporary separation is carefully preserved.
Not one glass at a time only, but many glasses simultaneously, are filled from each bucket; and each one of them brings back to the group-soul its own quota of evolved quality. Thus in time many different qualities are developed within each group-soul, and of course manifest themselves as inherent in every animal which is an expression of it. Hence came the definite instincts with which certain creatures are born. The duckling, the moment it is set free from the egg, seeks the water and can swim fearlessly, even though it may have been hatched by a hen which dreads water, and is terribly worried to find her charges rushing to what she supposes to, be destruction. But that fragment of a group-soul which is functioning through the duckling knows perfectly well from previous experience that the water is its natural element, and the tiny body fear-lessly carries out its behests.
All the while within each group-soul the tendency to further and further subdivision is steadily working. It manifests itself in a phenomenon, which, though upon a higher plane, has a curious resemblance to the way in which a cell divides. In the group-soul, which may be thought of as vividly animating a great mass of matter on the mental plane, a kind of scarcely per-ceptible film appears, as we might suppose a sort of barrier gradually to form itself across the bucket. The water at first filters through this barrier to some extent, but nevertheless the glasses of water taken out from one side of that barrier are always returned to the same side, so that by degrees the water on one side becomes differentiated from the water on the other, and then the barrier gradually densifies and becomes impene-trable, so that we have eventually two buckets instead of one.
This process is constantly repeated, until by the time that we reach the really higher animals a com-paratively small number of bodies is attached to each group-soul. It is found that the individualization which lifts an entity definitely from the animal kingdom into the human, can take place only from certain types of animals. Only among domesticated creatures, and by no means among all classes of even those, does this individualization occur. It must of course be remem-bered that we are very little more than half through the evolution of this chain of worlds, and it is only at the end of this evolution that the animal kingdom is expected to attain humanity. Naturally, therefore, any animal which is now attaining or even approaching individualization must be very remarkably in advance of the others, and the number of such cases is con-sequently very small. Still they do occasionally occur, and they are of extreme interest to us as indicating the manner in which we ourselves came into existence in the remote past. The lunar animal kingdom, out of which we were individualized, was at a somewhat lower level than the animal kingdom of the present day; but the principle adopted seems to have been almost precisely the same.
BEFORE explaining this in detail we must refer once more to Pictured Knight. It will be remembered that the variously black bands which occupy the principal part of this diagram are intended to signify various stages in the upward progress of the monadic essence. In its downward course, which is indicated by the column to the left of the diagram, it simply aggregates round itself the different kinds of matter on the various planes, evolving that matter by accustoming and adapt-ing it to convey vibrations and impressions, and at the same time acquiring for itself the power to receive and respond readily to these impressions at their respective levels. But when it has reached the lowest point of its immersion in matter, and turns to begin the grand upward sweep of evolution towards divinity, its work then is somewhat different. Its object then is to develop its consciousness fully at these various levels, learning to control the bodies which it constructs from them, and to use them definitely as vehicles, so that they shall not only serve as bridges to carry impressions from without to the soul, but shall also enable that soul to express itself on their several planes through their instrumentality.
In this effort it naturally begins with the lowest matter, since its vibrations, though they are the largest and coarsest, are also the least powerful or penetrating, and therefore the easiest to control. Thus it happens that man, although possessing in a more or less latent condition so many higher principles, is yet at first for a long time fully conscious only in his physical body, and afterwards very gradually develops the consciousness in his astral vehicle, while in his mental body it comes at a still later stage.
Turning to picture, we see that we have a separate band or ribbon to represent each of the kingdoms. It will be noticed that in the band corresponding to the mineral kingdom we have the full width developed only in the denser part of the physical plane, and that in the part of the band which corresponds to etheric physical matter the band grows steadily narrower as we approach the higher planes. This of course indi-cates that in the mineral kingdom the control of the soul over the higher part of the etheric matter is not yet perfectly developed. It will be noticed also that there is a small point of red, showing that a certain amount of consciousness is already working through astral matter - that is to say, that a certain amount of desire is already manifesting itself.
It may seem strange to many people to speak of desire in connection with the mineral kingdom; but every chemist knows that in chemical affinity we have already a very distinct manifestation of preference on the part of various elements; and what is that but a commencement of desire? One element has so strong a desire for the company of another that it will instantly forsake, in order to join it, any other substance with which it may happen to be in association. Indeed, it is by means of our knowledge of these likes and dislikes of the various elements that we obtain various gases when we want them. For example, oxygen and hydrogen are combined in water, but if we throw sodium into the water we find that oxygen likes sodium better than hydrogen, and promptly deserts the latter to combine with the former; so we have a compound called sodium hydroxide instead of water, and the released hydrogen escapes. Or if we put zinc filings into diluted hydrochloric acid (which is hydrogen combined with chlorine) we find that the chlorine proceeds to abandon the hydrogen in order to join the zinc, so that zinc chloride remains, while hydrogen is given off and may be collected. So it will be seen that we are justified in speaking of the action of desire in the mineral kingdom.
If we now look at the band which symbolizes the vegetable kingdom we shall see that it is of full width not only in the dense physical, but also in the etheric part. We shall see also that the point typifying desire is more fully developed, betokening a far greater capa-city of utilizing the lower astral matter. Those who have studied botany will be aware that likes and dis-likes (that is to say, forms of desire) are very much more prominent in the vegetable world than in the mineral, and that many plants exhibit a great deal of ingenuity and sagacity in attaining their ends, limited though these ends may be from our point of view.
When we turn to the band representing the animal kingdom we find that consciousness has advanced very much further. It will be noticed that the band is of full width not only through the whole of the physical plane, but in the lowest sub-plane of the astral as well, showing that the animal is capable to the fullest possible extent of experiencing the lower desires, although the rapid narrowing of the band as we reach the higher sub-planes proclaims that his capacity for the higher desires is much more limited. Still it does exist; and so it happens that in exceptional cases he may manifest an exceedingly high quality of affection or devotion
It will be observed also that the band representing the animal kingdom ends in a point of green, signifying that at this stage there is already a development of intelligence, employing mental matter for its manifes-tation. It used at one time to be supposed that reason was the quality which distinguished man from the animals - that he possessed this faculty, while they had only instinct. As regards the higher domestic animals, however, that is certainly a mistake; anyone who has kept a dog or a cat, and made a friend of him will surely have observed that such creatures un-doubtedly do exercise the power of reason from cause to effect, although naturally the lines along which their reason can work are few and limited, and the faculty itself is far less powerful than ours. In the case of the average animal the point is quite correctly shown as embracing only the lowest variety of reason, acting in the matter of the lowest subdivision of the mental plane; but with the highly developed domestic animal the point might readily extend even to the highest of the four lower levels, though, of course, it would remain only a point, and by no means the full width of the band.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
Marie Curie
I have posted and deleted this little ditty I wrote about overcoming my biggest fear about 5 times now. And then I decided that because I created this shot for the sheer purpose of posting it in the Paralell Vision group and since the word for the week is COURAGE, I better damn well post it after all...
So here goes nothing....
____________________________________________________________________
she takes the stone
she makes the leap
and those worries
the ones that suffocate her every moment
that drive her “not to do”
that bind her to her standing spot
they have set her free for a time
now she falls without fear
this danger is mine!
she screams
i own it and it belongs to me!
there is nothing more alive than her right here right now
bellowing to the canyon walls
dangling between the dirt and the sky
aloft in the wind
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

"There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."

My sweet daughter and naughty son enjoying Diwali crackers.
I remember those days when my father played Diwali crackers with me when I was small. Still freshly remembering those excitements. Trying to give the same to my little ones.
My Naughty son is fear less. See he tries to reach the fire always. We had to be very careful with him. Lot of energy.
Have a fun filled and safe Diwali.
Captured these last night when we played with a part of our crackers ;-)

I have known Halcyon for several years. This year at Burning Man he ran Pink Heart Camp They had a great spot along the esplanade. It was a nice place to enjoy the company of others, to get a hug, or to get some water. He has a nice video up from this year: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frm7Ugb4JZA
Halcyon recently published his book, Love More Fear Less. lovemorefearless.com/ Soon I will be getting my Jumping Book together.
A birthday, and as a present 4 wheels, shining metal, red leather .... eyes sparkling in disbelieving delight ... "Mine?" ... "Yes" ...
and
No - it was NOT a Porsche with read leather seats, lol ... but a birthday ... the 7th or 8th probably, and a pair of Rollerskates. Many of you have known them, I am sure, 2 parallel pairs or wheels on each one, leather straps and a kind of screws, to fix them to the shoes, extendable, so they could "grow" with the feet, lol.
Oh, it was love on first sight ...
# 6 Rollerblading or ...skating or however you call it in your part of the world, lol
I wanted to post it much later, but as I lately had been slipping on ice, I suddenly had a knee similar to my knees decades ago, lol. And I had to laugh so much, bcs so many of my falls came to mind again.
Short sidetrack, lol ... isnt it amazing, how often you were falling as a child? I still cant figure out, why ... was it bcs of the permanent running, hopping, bouncing instead of walking? Or bcs of looking always up into the sky instead of checking the ground? Anyway, I for my part had injured knees so often, that I still wear a kind of black tattoes on them, caused by all the ingrown small stones.
And - back on track ... lol ... it was love on first sight, but not inborn skills. The art of rollerblading had to be practiced, at least for me. Oh, and I did, I can tell you. (Quite different from playing piano, lol ... see # 5)
Fortunately my friend Karin had blades, too - so, after hurriedly having finished homework, we walked to a hill - went uphill and raced down, uphill and down, uphill and down ... for hours, again and again.
Plop ..."ouch" ... hurt knee, shinbone, elbow, blood dripping - bandaid maybe .. doesnt matter, biting my teeth helped a lot, and uphill, and down we went ... wow wow wow, fast like the wind, like flying, bliss.
And keep in mind, I was raised in northern germany, not famous for its hills and mountains, but flat flat flat. So, what I am talking about, you would call nowadays maybe a small ascending slope - but as a child, oh my, we felt it as a big hill, lol. And we always feared that we wouldnt be able to slow down in time - which would mean, we had to drop on purpose .... hurt knees, elbows, blood dripping ... a band-aid, maybe ... lol....
But the bliss to whoooooooooooooosh ride downhill was it worth all.
And then, growing up, the skates didnt grow enough with my feet, or maybe other stuff became more important, the mechanics so old fashioned suddenly. And I forgot completely about it.
Until - maybe 30 something years later, I bought inline-skates again - skating well-known as sports already for many years ... but for a long time I just felt, I were too old to do it again. And then, seeing people moving so fast ... it was so beautiful and so tempting to watch them - I just couldnt resist, and I overcame the worries, that I would for sure make a complete fool out of myself. Oh, and I made a fool out of myself, lol, but thanks to my profession I still can fall pretty gracefully, lol.
Wow, I can tell you, that was a challenge, lol, and still is from time to time.
The boots - of course fixed to the wheels now - gorgeous, stable and helpful. The wheels so much faster, the skates itself much better maneuverable ... only I had become older, less flexible, more fear, less looking up in the sky, more checking the ground, less jumping and bouncing and running around, more walking, lol.
So - in the beginning a well known circle started again ... ooooops, help, a pebble, a sudden brake, unplanned, lost balance, ouch ... no blood? Oh, wonderful new items, knee- and elbow-protectors, lol.
Ooops, a big puddle, f@*@ck, solide concrete, my buttocks had no protectors, nor had the back of my head. Long forgotten pain came back, lol.
But also this time - practice and determination helped a lot.
And - wheeling fast and faster (to stop still isnt easy, do never believe anybody, who is telling you something else, lol), wind blowing in the hair, warm air on my skin, the smells of the meadows, wow, thats so close to bliss, again.
This is something, I really want to take more time to do it - its a wonderful way to move and to move fast, very fast.
Choice of music ... hmmm ... nothing at the moment. While blading I still cant listen to music, bcs I have to concentrate pretty hard ... and its so nice to hear the sounds of nature ... but I can imagine, that it must be wonderful, too.
Love stories ... well, none from my beginnings, or only little darlings from school, and nowadays ... in love with the speed and the wind and the air ... lol.
And - this is NOT my "may all my flickr friends have a blessed fall into the New Years Morning" - upload, lol.
I hope, I find the time to post something else ....
But if you are not present on flickr anymore until new year: Well, may you fall VERY softly into the year 2012, my friends. And may always somebody hold you, if you fall or at least help you with band - aid ... for all visible and non-visible wounds.

The one good thing in my life
Has gone away I don't know why
She's gone away I don't know where
Somewhere I can't follow her
The one good thing didn't stay too long
My back was turned and she was gone
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo
People say I should forget
There's plenty more don't get upset
People say she's doin' fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That's not what I want to hear
I want to hear she wants me near
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn't ask
Morning came into my room
Caught me dreaming like a fool
Good thing where have you gone
Good thing you've been gone too long
Hey hey hey woo hoo hoo

The Universe ❤ ツ
You may be familiar with much of the information presented here, either intellectually or intuitively, or perhaps you may be aware of different pieces of the puzzle. In any case, you may also discover something new or gain valuable insights as your subconscious connects the dots. Once you begin to assimilate and apply this knowledge your life will never be the same again. You will begin to view, perceive and experience reality in an entirely new, very liberating way.
When you become aware of the true nature of reality, you will begin to understand who you truly are and how the universal laws affect your life and the world around you. With this realization comes a certain degree of responsibility as you will no longer be oblivious to the fact that you are in complete control of your life experience and what this truly means. This new understanding of Life, the Universe and the laws that govern it is the key to your true freedom. All of this wisdom already exists within you as innate knowledge encoded in your DNA. It contains all of the information related to who you truly are, your past lives, your galactic and spiritual heritage and all of the information relating to your individual evolution as a light being. Your understanding of the information presented here will vary depending on your level of activation or spiritual development. The further you progress on your quest, the greater the responsibility in terms of applying what you are learning to your life and the world around you.
The first thing you need to be aware of is your personal belief system. Your belief system has been shaped by the various thought forms and emotions you have experienced since early childhood right up to the present day. There are also thought forms from your earliest ancestors and your past lives encoded within your DNA (cellular memory) which also affect your belief system. Your belief system encompasses more than just religion or spiritual beliefs, it is your understanding of the world around you and how you experience or interpret your reality. Everyone is entitled to their belief system and the information presented here is open to your interpretation. If you do not agree with something or you feel it doesn't fit with your belief system simply discard it. All you need to do is approach the information with an open heart and an open mind.
The Energetic Universe ❤ ツ
Everything that we can see and all that we can't exists as a form of energy. The entire universe and all of creation is a manifestation of this energy. Even the dense human form is constructed from this universal energy, from the highly energetic particles we call atoms. Science has shown the structure of an atom to be mostly space with a few tiny particles thrown in, which are in turn made up of even smaller particles. All physical matter is well over 90% pure space. The rest is resonating Light patterned by consciousness. It is all Light.
Scientifically speaking, Einstein’s theory of relativity E=mc² demonstrates how energy and mass (matter) are equivalent and transmutable. As you approach the speed of light you are converted into pure energy. If we go beyond the physical universe, into the microscopic universe, past the cells that make up our bodies, past the molecules which make up our cells, into the atomic and subatomic realms, the lines of reality begin to blur. No longer are objects seemingly separate from ourselves, everything becomes a sea of atoms and sub atomic particles. An integrated ocean of pure energy. From this comes the understanding that we are all connected with everything. This is one of the fundamental concepts that need to be understood in order to disconnect yourself from the illusion of a reality of separation. We are all one.
The Multi-Dimensional Universe ❤ ツ
Our universe contains many different dimensions superimposed over one another. These dimensions are separated from each other along different octaves determined by the rate of vibration of light. It is similar in concept to the musical scale. As the strings generating music vibrate at different levels they produce different harmonics and sounds. The greater the vibration of light, the higher you move through the dimensional levels eventually returning to the source, or God.
As an analogy: picture an onion and all of its layers in your mind. The whole onion represents God, and its different layers represent the different dimensions that make up our universe. Each dimension or layer exists separately to the others yet all are still part of the whole. In reality all of the dimensions co-exist simultaneously over lapping each other however each level is clearly defined and only accessible via a certain light pattern or vibration.
Everything exists as a form of energy and has a vibration associated with it. Your physical body, which is really made of light, is vibrating at a specific frequency. The higher your vibration, the greater your expansion as you shed density towards becoming pure energy. As you lower your vibration you descend further into density. It is important for you to understand that different emotional states trigger vibrational changes within the human being. There are only two core emotions that we feel, these being the emotions of Love and Fear. Every other emotion we experience comes from these two basic emotions. Fear produces a lower frequency or vibration within you where as Love produces a higher frequency or rapid vibration. This is another key concept that needs to be understood in order for spiritual progression. It is very important to practice the art of unconditional love in your life, as this raises your frequency or vibration allowing you to access the higher dimensions, taking you closer to Spirit. All of our spiritual teachers and masters throughout history have urged us to love one another… Why ? Because the vibration of love is the core harmonic/pattern of our bodies. It turn us ON in regenerative ways, where as fear turns us OFF in degenerative ways.
There is only Love and Light, they are one and the same, they represent Spirit. Everything starts from Spirit as pure love and light. As you begin to lower your light vibration you begin to seemingly separate from this source, downward through the dimensions towards the other end of the scale, deeper into density (less light energy), darkness (less light) and fear (less love). You can never totally separate from the source as you are a fragment of Spirit.
Each of the dimensional levels in our universe have different universal laws affecting them. Trying to understand the higher dimensions is impossible from the context and perspective of our third dimensional existence in limited consciousness. During waking reality you exist on the third dimension. In actual fact you are a multi-dimensional being existing on a number of levels all at once, however you are only aware of this 3rd dimensional existence which constitutes the physical world around us. You are a transitional being living a human life on the planet Earth. When your physical body dies you don't actually go anywhere, however you do move into a higher dimension, in your Astral Body. You transition from the 3rd dimension into the 4th, which is where you will find the astral plane. Funnily enough, the 4th dimension is also where you go every single night when you go to sleep! This transition is not new to you, it is your true home.
Take a moment to process this information. This is how you can still see loved ones that have crossed over in your dreams. In reality they can visit you while you’re in the 3rd dimensional waking state at any time and they can see you but you can’t see them for they exist in a higher vibration in a higher dimension. It's simillar to the electro-magnetic spectrum where we can only see the frequencies of visible light, the rest (infra-red, microwave, ultra violet, X-rays, Gamma Rays, Cosmic Rays) are invisible to us. They permeate everything but we cannot see them. Remember that all the dimensions overlap. It is possible to access the higher dimensions through your consciousness, using natural psychic abilities, but your ability to interpret and manipulate the energy around you is limited by your belief system. You must believe in something before it can become a reality.
Now you can begin to understand some of the differences between the 3rd dimension and the 4th. When you are dreaming you are not bound by the same physical (universal) laws as you are here in this dimension. You are immortal, able to fly, teleport, walk through walls, change your physical appearance, look at an object from all sides at once, and experience the world in a totally different way, which is often why dreams often don't make sense when you wake up and put them back into a 3D box. When you are dreaming your subconscious mind is running the show, however it is possible for you to consciously experience the 4th dimension, through thought/astral projection, lucid dreaming, physical ascension or death.
You are in complete control of every aspect of your life experience here on Earth. Before you incarnate you predetermine several exit windows, or opportunities for you to potentially terminate your incarnation. During the course of your life certain events may happen where you are involved in an accident, or you become ill, when you have the opportunity to evaluate your progress on a higher level and make the choice to continue or leave. The third dimension or life is a great school where you have the ability to learn many valuable lessons and accelerate your progress very quickly, while in this state of amnesia. When you terminate your incarnation and decide to leave you re-enter Earth's incarnational cycle. When you are ready you will reincarnate back onto the Earth and continue your spiritual evolution. The Earth has shifted to a new energy and the time is approaching for the entire planet and her inhabitants to experience a new level of reality. We are heading towards the 5th dimension (physical/planetary ascension). We will not be skipping the 4th; we have already spent much time there in between incarnations, it is our true home.
Consciousness ❤ ツ
Everything is connected! There is only one Reality and one God, but there are many, many ways that the one Reality can be interpreted. In fact, the number of ways to interpret the Reality are just about infinite. There are certain realities that many people have agreed on, and these realities are called levels of consciousness. There are realities that extremely large numbers of beings are focusing on, which include the one you and I are experiencing right now. At one time we existed on Earth in a very high level of awareness that was far beyond anything we can even imagine now. We hardly have even the capability to imagine where we once were, because who we were then is so out of context with who we are now. Because of the events that happened between 16,000 and 13,000 years ago, humanity fell from that very high place through many dimensions and overtones, ever increasing in density, until we reached this particular place, which we call the third dimension on planet Earth, the modern world.
Our consciousness is not stored in the body or the brain. When you understanding that, you begin to realise that there is a common spiritual bond between all things in the universe, and that we are all part of the one divine intelligence. Your consciousness can be viewed as existing in two parts, as the individual and the group. You are most familiar with your individual consciousness in this reality of separation which creates the illusion that you are inside a body looking out into the world at everything around you that is separate from yourself. However, your consciousness is also connected to the group, or mass consciousness of every human on the planet (which is then connected to the mass consciousness of the Earth, which is connected to the solar system, connected to the central sun of the galaxy, all the way back to unity consciousness with Source or God). Consciousness is the force that connects the spiritual realms with the physical creation.
Consciousness is the seat of the soul, and the source of all creation. Consciousness is what moulds and creates our reality. Scientifically this is demonstrated in quantum physics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the mere act of looking at an object will change its state from what it originally was, not enabling us to see its original state. Another experiment that demonstrates how conscious throughts affect our reality was performed by Japanese researcher Dr. Masaru Emoto. He devised a technique to photograph water crystals and essentially capture the state of the water which had been affected by conscious thoughts, feelings and emotions. He separated the water into bottles, and on each bottle was taped a message, such as “I love you”, “I hate you”, and “You make me sick, I will kill you”. After a period of time the water was frozen then examined. The resultant formation of the water crystals matched the energetic structure of the messages. The messages of love created elaborate crystals with beautiful symmetry, while the messages of hate generated crystals of no form, dysfunction, and distress. This is more tangible proof that thoughts and feelings affect physical reality/matter. What is interesting to note here is that the human body is over 70% water. If thoughts and feelings could affect water like that, imagine what our thoughts and feelings are doing to us. Consciousness is what binds our universe together and it is what creates our reality.
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order” Stephen W. Hawking. This unified field of consciousness and energy is our concept of Spirit. The conscious living universe exists on an unimaginable scale. In this reality of separation most of us are preoccupied with daily life, and the "external" world we see with our eyes. It’s not often we raise our thoughts above this to the higher consciousness which makes up our universe, and the realization that we are all from the same source and that we are all connected.
How Big is God? ❤ ツ
I want you to imagine the Atlantic Ocean. It's huge! Yet this ocean has a oneness about it. This entire ocean is pulled as one object by the moon. Seemingly as one entity, it bulges gently and causes tides and waters to be pushed and pulled on beaches thousands of miles apart. If you study the tides and the currents, you might wonder how there could be a system where the ocean seems to respond as though it were one consciousness. It seems to coordinate itself in many ways, yet it's made of trillions of parts called water molecules.
Now here's the metaphor: The ocean is made of water, which is the water molecule you know as H2O. So I want you to visualize in your mind how many molecules there are in the ocean! I'll give you a moment to count them.
You can't do it, can you? It's an unbelievably large number, understandable only by math. It's too big to imagine, so notations in mathematics would be given that only the mathematicians can truly grasp. It would be a number that would be so large that it would be out of your view as a Human.
Now, imagine (in this metaphor) that each one of those molecules is an angel. In addition (just to make this more complex), somehow these trillions and trillions of molecules know one another! They all know each other at a quantum level... it's a system where what happens to one of them happens to them all - at the same time. Somehow they're all connected. One knows the other no matter how many thousands of miles apart they are within the ocean. Can you imagine such a connection?
Consider the ocean in this metaphor for a moment, to be what you think of as God. God is not one thing, but a combination of trillions of parts of angelic consciousness (the ocean). Contemplate just how big this would be to a molecule! Now take a small glass of water, fill it almost to the top with a little of this enormous ocean, then let it bob around in a gentle way on the ocean's surface. For this metaphor, the glass of water is planet Earth.
Now I want you to notice something: The glass is filled with water from the ocean. Are you starting to understand? Whatever the ocean means to you, it's also in the glass. In fact, if you were in the glass, and you were a molecule of H2O, you wouldn't be able to see through the glass clearly. In fact, you wouldn't even know that the ocean existed. Yet you'd be pushed and pulled and bobbed around just as though you were part of the ocean.
Without the knowledge of this vast ocean, you wouldn't truly know who you were. You wouldn't even know you were an H2O molecule. When you looked around spiritually, you might say, "Well, it looks like the wall of our water glass is the limit. We're contained by the glass and we can't see anything beyond it. We can't see outside! In addition, there's no evidence that there's anyone beyond the glass. So we'll turn inward and examine only ourselves." This is the earth.
But if the glass contains ocean water, this means that the glass actually contains angels [according to the metaphor]! But in this case, they're angels that don't seem to know that they're angels. There seems to be total isolation, and disconnected from everything except what's going on in the glass of water. The water in the glass can't even see how big the ocean is... if they even believe there is one. Oh, they can look at the stars and appreciate the Universe, but they can't see through the glass to really see how big God is.
Yet there's something interesting going on here. There's a mass intuition. At the centre of every molecule, somehow they know that there's something bigger than themselves. It's intuitive, and all throughout the glass it's felt. Here is a fact of your humanness: Eighty-five percent of humanity believes in the afterlife. Hundreds of religions, developed independently at many times and places in history, all have something in common: They believe that when you leave Earth, you go somewhere else!
Now, 85 percent would be an amazing number if you were doing a political poll! It's more than a majority - it's a mandate of consciousness. And so at the cellular level, the Human Being knows that there's something beyond the glass. Even though there's no entity that can prove it, the belief continues through the ages and into the future, and men and women continue to die in battle defending their belief that beyond the glass is their own God.
Eighty-five percent of the people on the earth can't all have the same thought and have it be a coincidence, or just wishful thinking. At some level, you not only know about the ocean on the other side of the glass, but you also know about the family who's there... trillions and trillions of them. If you could only know more! That's the spiritual quest that often drives Human cultures and even wars, where one side believes that their God is better than the other. Therefore, they kill each other to rid the planet of "wrong thinking." Odd, isn't it, how the unseen actually postures governments, shapes countries, and creates wars? That's a lot of effort and energy spent on "wishful thinking."
We stop and apologize for having to use metaphors so often, but we must give you this information in this fashion to even get to the next step of the teaching. And so I'm going to stop for a moment and ask you this question: Do you see how amazing this system is?
How big is God? ❤ ツ
Big enough to have created multiple Universes - trillions and trillions of angelic entities, stretching farther than you can imagine - levels of dimensionality that you cannot conceive of. Bigger than big!
Yet small enough to love you and live in your heart.
What is the perception, therefore, of God? Looking at it from the outside of the glass, it's actually quite amusing for us [Kryon]. Let me tell you what happens: The molecules in the glass [Human-angels] start to look around and wonder about everything. As discussed, they believe in the afterlife. Therefore, they feel there must be a God somewhere. Then they decide from the depths of their wisdom that God must be a giant molecule! Why? Because it's the only thing they can see. They have only one model - themselves. Then they say that there's proof of this, since scripture says so. In just one example, there's Holy Scripture that says that you're "made in the image of God." Now, if you're a molecule, God must therefore be a giant molecule, too, since, if you believe scripture, you look just like God.
How can I tell you this, dear one? This is the premise we've taught from the beginning that's so difficult for you to grasp. You have it reversed! Your logic is reversed. You don't understand this because you can't broach the glass. "Made in His image" means that every single molecule in the glass is part of the ocean! You have it backwards, you see. God's "image" is the mastery of the Universe. It's the divinity of the angelic realm, and it is indeed your image. The "image" is inside you.
It's interesting that Humans can only imagine the highest thing in their own reality. And so those in the glass, for thousands of years, have decided that God is a molecule. Pictures of God are Human-like, and all the angels are, too. Every time an angel appears on Earth, those who create the history of the event have to put skin and wings on them, pretend they're of singular nature, and give them one name. This is very funny! For angels are interdimensional, without wings or Human form, and they always have a "group" attribute. That's because they represent the consciousness of the whole ocean. But in order for Humans to grasp their visit, they're brought to the Human form and level.
You see how limited that is? Think of it... if that glass contained only anteaters, they would have chosen to say that God must be a large anteater! Then they'd go on to say, "When I get to heaven, there will be lots of ants!" Amusing, isn't it? But that's not very different from what most Humans do. You've been told that when you go to heaven, there will be streets of gold - mansions for each one of you. Some cultures believe that you'll be met by 72 virgins [just the men qualify for this, of course]. Do you see what I'm saying? You can only go to the limit of the wall of the glass based on your spiritual thinking and your own reality. Your idea of what God must be and what heaven must be is contained in, and limited to, your own Human experience.
The truth? There are no streets or mansions (or Human virgins) when you get to the other side of the glass. What there is, is a splendorous reality that you instantly remember. There is expansion, and you become the part of God that you always were, and all is known. You go home! In this metaphor, the wall of the glass is the veil. You can't see through it, and you never actually see the ocean [God]. So everything you conceive of isn't much bigger than the glass, and that's what you decide to worship. You worship what you can't see, thinking that whatever that force is on the other side of the glass, it has to be wiser and bigger than you. What you don't understand is the actual test you're in that creates this.
Can angels, sequestered in the glass, eventually discover the truth about who they are? Will they ever acknowledge that they're part of the ocean? Or will they eventually kill each other trying to reach the streets of gold or the 72 virgins? This is what the Kryon work is about. We're here because there's an awakening... a great shift... and humanity is beginning to see through the glass. Let me make a statement. There's nothing to worship; there's everything to discover. It's time you thought interdimensionally.
But let's stop for a moment. Look at the system and all that it represents. God is huge - immense. The ocean stretches for trillions of light years, through quantum Universes and multiverses, yet the angels all know each other. How can this be? It's the staple of an interdimensional existence... that everything is connected, yet seemingly separate and removed by distance. Spread through the Universe is a hugeness you cannot imagine, but since the angels are all connected in real time, every single one of them knows your name! You see?
How big is God? ❤ ツ
Big enough to have created the Universe... yet small enough to know your name - small enough to be here today - small enough to be next to you as you read these words.
