Corporations: The MY AMERICA FUND

Posted in Economy at 11:17 am by admin

Now that corporations can spend as much as they want on elections lets enlist their help in the following way.

Proposal: Create the MY AMERICA FUND

Require it to be funded by corporations and by Congress.

Congress will agree to put aside ten pencent of their campaign contributions for the MY AMERICA FUND

In addition Corporations will place matching funds to every contribution made inside the MY AMERICA FUND

Example: A Congressman or woman receives $10,000 in contributions from Corporation XYZ.

From this contribution the MY AMERICA FUND receives $1000 from the Congressman or woman and a matching $10,000 from Corporation XYZ.

In this way all contributions will have the added benefit of providing for those programs that the MY AMERICA FUND sponsors.

A limited tax credit will be given for that portion of the contribution that is the matching amount.

No tax credit will be given to the Congress person’s amount of contribution.

The MY AMERICA FUND may only be used on public works projects, education as in retraining our workers or to subsidize medical benefits.

The details can be worked out and expanded from the Federal Government to the local government.

Those who contribute the most will receive preferred status for government contracts.

What we have to do is make the success of America the success of the rich. Strange how no one ever thought of it that way.

Please let me know what you think.

Enjoy with many blessings

3 States of Consciousness

Mark Siet's Visions

Let go and let your imagination fly

I imagine by now you might be needing a lift of sorts or at least a far out diversion. Listen to this excerpt from Thought Into Form.

There are three states of consciousness.
One is called the Initiating Force.
Two is called the Maintaining Influence
Three is called the Quiescent Harmony

Negative Space.It is here and it surrounds you. You activate it through your awareness by letting go and tuning in. It is the inherent unity that consciousness takes in form. It is therefore the unification of who you are with what you are. It is the normal state of being even though most will not become aware of it as such because of their focus on outer things, which interfere with the net of convergence.

What is this net of convergence? It is the connection between what you think you are and what you are becoming in each moment. It is the process of awakening to the unity of your personality with the emergence of the all meaning that you are akin to an appendage of the all. In this way the all or the Eternal expresses itself through you. Since this expression is limitless you must also assume a posture of limitless acceptance and this achieved through Negative Space. The only thing absent in Negative Space is your need to be something you are not. What is eliminated are all of the superimpositions that you may have picked up along the way.

Through Negative Space the pure effulgent undeniable you is revealed and in this revelation the Eternal, the Creator, the Perpetual One is expressed. In Negative Space the flow of spirit moves freely and confidently without blockages. This thing or concept called spirit we may we refer back to as the net of convergence. As you become more and more aware of your place in this concatenation of experience things now happen to you from a frame of immediate reference. The terminus of this immediate reference is a cessation of time as a meaningful referent. Thoughts carry you even though other vehicles may transport you.

Think on this now as these ideas find their place within and act to coagulate the necessary tendrils of spirit into the unified net of convergence appearing as one all throughout Negative Space.

Negative Space exists and is brought into existence by the process of unification that has been in place since before the beginning of Creation. It is the fuse upon which the spark of the big bang was promulgated. Even though a created being is far removed from a point in conception that is prior to creation there is always a spark of this a priori knowledge of that concept. It is the thread within that links us all. Like a black light will illuminate specially designed painting so too will Negative Space illuminate this a priori thread opening up the possibility for the unification that is always the purpose of Creation.

Why think about these things at all? We think about them because they are a bridge to our understanding. That understanding in turn takes us inward to our core where the knowledge of unity forever resides. Many are the attempts to describe deity in one way or another all falling short because of the infinite nature of all that is. However through Negative Space instead of describing what we are attempting to understand we have a direct experience, without words that leaves us incontrovertible evidence as to what our purpose for being is and how to ride these waves of connection we are being turned on to. Constantly awareness is being seeded with impressions however, without a filtering process confusion and illusion prevail. We live our lives but do not live out the inward focus that drives us to seek meanings in order to make connections both above and below. Negative Space is not something that you seek or even find. You would not say “if only I were in Negative Space everything would be okay.” It isn’t like that at all. It simply comes to you one day. Perhaps today or when you least expect it.

The point is that Negative Space comes to you. These words are but seeds for your awareness. You know this is true because nothing passes away. All that you experience, think about, or go through must become one. You’ll know it when you are there in Negative Space or remember it having experienced it in the past. More and more will be revealed as this process develops within you. Today is just the beginning.

Let there be light

Posted in Kabbalah, Music, mysticism, self help at 12:14 pm by admin

Listen to Enlightened Wings Above

I’ve been thinking about light and how the connections of light are an integral part of our being. I relate this light to the will of creation that flows through us taking forms of love, compassion, forgiveness, joy, sharing and giving. The Course in Miracles says, ‘remove the blocks to love’s awareness.’ Yes remove-clear the opacity of your soul to let the light shine through. This opacity is the main cause for illusion and misunderstandings. Another word for this removal is to forgive ourselves from the things that bind us to our status quo or ordinary conventional thinking. Today I concentrate on this light in this season of light. A few references to light come to mind that reveal more…you guessed it, light.

The primary symbol of Chanukah is the Menorah.

Commentary: It is the eternal flame. The light that shines forever without any visible means or reason for continuing to do so it just does and that is the miracle that is celebrated here. This is the light of holiness that each of us may open ourselves to. Yes this time of year is perfect for the return of the light since it coincides with the Winter Solstice where the sun returns the days grow longer the light is more in our face.

Ex 3:2:And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Commentary: Translate this as the thought of holiness appeared to the opacity of man revealing his own inner light in the form of a bush that was not consumed. Of course the eternal flame that resides within us does not consume us because we are the result of this flame. It is the clothing of this light in form that gives us our personality and purpose for being. When we are off our game remember this light to reawaken everything that you are and to recharge those batteries of connection.

Gen 3:24 So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way to the tree of life.

Commentary:

This is curious passage here. Man is driven out of the garden. What is man? Man is the opacity of form that obscures our way to the garden to the perfection of our lives. This flaming sword is a reminder that are we to return to the elegant state of being that we are descended from this sword will cut through our illusion which results in a return to this tree of life. What is the tree of life? It is our source that we are never separated from the well of light is where this source emanates from taking the form of life, which is the form of man learning to be transparent to light instead of resisting the light. Do not fear that which would make you joyful, courageous, prosperous, giving, etc. because this is your birthright. This tree of life is the template that you may return to in any moment.

Ez 21: 3 and say to the forest of the South: Hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree, it shall not be quenched, even a flaming flame; and all faces from the south to the north shall be seared thereby.

Commentary: Especially here this is referring the magical properties of unification that reside within you. The South is where magic or transformation comes from. You are awakening this sense of ability that you have to transform your environment, your thoughts your life experiences everything is included here. The faces from North to South refer to the template of your being and this is saying that this fire within consumes all that is not perfection.

Ez 21: 4 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.’

Commentary:

Once again what is being kindled? It is the Eternal Flame. The LORD translate as the holiness of connection that rises up from within you due to your proximity and the sense of merging with this tree of life as your awareness grows through the unity of this connection. Again that which comes forth from you is eternal and cannot ever be taken away.

Gen:1: 3 And God said: ‘Let there be light.’ And there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

Commentary: Here is the first day. Let’s call it the open awareness. The first moment then when consciousness became aware of itself as an entity of projection. What did consciousness become aware of this first day? For one it became that it could see. Perception was established. What could it see? Everything. Light is full spectrum. What else? Ah that the light was good. What does this mean? Consciousness not only awakened but awakened to the fact that it could envision and be satisfied with that vision. There is more. This is what consciousness figured out that in addition to that which it had already discovered about itself there was more to be revealed. That which was revealed was light and that which remained unrevealed was darkness. In this way the paradigm was established. You have an inspiration and follow through with all that can become out of this inspiration. Then when this inspiration runs its course there is evening when the revelation is no longer new and you are ready for something else. All night long you await what is to come which is of course morning when it all begins again. Recognize here that there are four states of play, light, darkness, evening and morning.

Gen: 1:14 And God said: ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.’ And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

Commentary: Look at all of these lights. From a simple let there be lights all the lights in our universe were formed. We are connected to all of these lights as coming from that which resides within us. What is the earth? It is this form the eternal light resides within taking its cue from the tree of life that is the culmination of the thought of light passing in and through us.

Isaiah 60: 1 Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but upon thee the LORD will arise, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And nations shall walk at thy light, and kings at the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all are gathered together, and come to thee; thy sons come from far, and thy daughters are borne on the side. 5 Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall throb and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. 6 The caravan of camels shall cover thee, and of the young camels of Midian and Ephah, all coming from Sheba; they shall bring gold and incense, and shall proclaim the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee; they shall come up with acceptance on Mine altar, and I will glorify My glorious house. 8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their cotes? 9 Surely the isles shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because He hath glorified thee. 10 And aliens shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee; for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had compassion on thee. 11 Thy gates also shall be open continually, day and night, they shall not be shut; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings in procession. 12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the cypress, the plane-tree and the larch together; to beautify the place of My sanctuary, and I will make the place of My feet glorious. 14 And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee, and all they that despised thee shall bow down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee the city of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour, and I, the Mighty One of Jacob, thy Redeemer. 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron; I will also make thy officers peace, and righteousness thy magistrates. 18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 20 Thy sun shall no more go down, Neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous, they shall inherit the land for ever; the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, wherein I glory. 22 The smallest shall become a thousand, and the least a mighty nation; I the LORD will hasten it in its time. {S}
Commentary: This one is just about the most awesome affirmation I’ve ever seen. It is a prayer for abundance and the certainty that the light, the everlasting light will continuously shine forever. Here it says ‘the LORD shall be unto thee and everlasting light.’ What this means to me is that our awareness of our innate eternal flame is what we must be attending to each moment. Put aside if you will all descriptions of LORD or G-d and recognize that what is inside of you is eternal and a part of the unification of everything. That is the light that always shines.

Friday poem #64

Posted in Poetry at 7:17 am by admin

Yes let there be light inside of your eyes

and let there be the light of a child’s surprise

or the miracle of healing with the sunrise

and especially laughter replacing our cries.

Let there be the fire that glows within

and make it so each time we begin

Let the smiles take over from ear to chin

and always lets our heart’s burst forth and sing.

The burning bush told us the truth

To restore our focus and reawaken our youth.

It spoke simply saying I am that I am

so all that you can be is there in the end.

A single star a reminder each day

of happiness waiting there to say

that love is a witness to come on through

By the miracle of accepting the irreplaceable you.

Blessings above the sun beyond the stars so close to you and never apart

Galactic Interface Continuum

Posted in mysticism at 10:42 am by admin

Hi welcome to our show tonight, this eon, perhaps morning where you are or maybe even we could call this a zolapine of winsome which is the moment between one reflection and another in the Tlarhabian syntax black hole. Any way these next few words open the way in your present becoming in order to unlock the gates of imagining yes but also to set up the straight and narrow silver road for you to flow into your heart’s desire whatever that may be. All I assure you will become clear or not. In any event I promise it will be interesting for that is my job, which you find out about later. Okay here we go.

It is not permitted to speak about Will but I can allude to some of its qualities. It is not permitted because knowledge without understanding can be a dangerous thing. I could tell you exactly what you need to know but it is the nature of Will that you find it out for yourself. I can tell you that finding out is the most awesome experience you will ever encounter. There are some who are not ready for this so I would advise reading no further.

Of course you just have to see what comes next after that mini buildup. Why? It is because one of the properties of Will is a questing after the unknown. It seeks to become that which is not.

What is Will for? It is to move you from a place you don’t want to be into a place you have set your sights upon. When it moves the entire Universe is transformed.

Will operates through thoughts, words and actions.

All this is well and good and now on to our feature story.

Nontika is a being in the over dimension called Simply Wonderful. She is not sure of what she wants to be when she undergoes her next transformation. Her thoughts and visions of what this could possibly be are supporting seven hundred million nether dimensions that happen to be at thirty degree angles to one another. While the degree of their orientation might appear to be insignificant on further analysis you will see the vast insights that brings into focus. Because of one of these insights Nontika is almost ready to make decision. This is a momentous occasion. Once she has even the inkling of a decision she is already on her way leading to a whole cascade of events some predictable and others entirely outside of the box of anything anyone anywhere could imagine.

I am a reporter for the Galactic Interface Continuum. The fact that I am here at all is another story perhaps one day I’ll share it with you but for now I mustn’t even blink otherwise I’ll miss the entire thing. One thing I can tell you is that it is a lot like giving birth; something I have a great deal of experience with. I must tell you that this very assignment is the result of my last birth. You are confused perhaps between giving birth and my last birth. It is like this. In order to travel between dimensions with your consciousness intact you undergo a series of births, awakenings from one dimension to another. The giving of birth means that your birth inside of the awareness of a new dimension is for you an extension of your awareness but it also makes possible and this is the giving part the possibility for another entity to pass through into the realm of being you have just arrived from. Let just say that the universe has an open door policy.

Nontika stands. She is radiant full of the colors of transformation. Once begun the process is irreversible. Simply Wonderful swirls around her slowly at first and then ever more quickly until she stands motionless in a blur of blissful awakening. Let me share a personal note. I am crying. It is a sight and a feeling of such absolute clarity that I feel myself pulled towards this event even to the point of becoming absorbed by it completely. Because I love my job and do not feel myself ready for such a massive transformation I maintain my objectivity, which is of course why I became a reporter in the first place. With regret I turn away slightly. It is enough for me to continue my observations.

Nontika turns slightly nodding my way although it isn’t to me that she is gesturing to. It is her acceptance of the new vistas that are arising before her as seas on a moonlit night catch the reflections of light and then are once again lost in the darkness where no light may reach. This is what is happening to her as Simply Wonderful is being subsumed. Whatever could she be looking at now? Her face is beaming. I don’t think she would be mind if we went in for a close up.

Where is she going to become what she is feeling in this moment as the transformation begins to settle in upon her? Can you imagine the most amazing things that are occurring to her? Breathlessly I approach furiously reporting simultaneously translating into a multitude of transdimensional feeds. I move carefully now for I mustn’t get too close. Yes this feels really particularly intense.

I can’t believe what I am witnessing. This is a first. As I live and breathe once again I witness the full horizons of the Perfect Day. This is where she has set her first steps upon the mythical Perfect Day.

I wish I could get closer but then I would be…Oh no it is already too late. I am flowing right behind her. I apologize to my audience but I think my days as a reporter are over. Indeed at last I have lost my objectivity and become attached to the story I was reporting on.

Still and this will have to be my final tagline; You know it really isn’t so bad being stuck on the Perfect Day. You should try it sometime. It couldn’t hurt. Besides. Things will be looking up from here on in.

Listen for that which is you and yet not a part of the din of noise around you. Listen carefully and know that what you are is more than words may describe yet take my advice it is well worth the effort to do so simply because the unfathomable loves to be taken at face value. This means describe the indescribable for in the attempt all of creation is waiting to come through and blow your mind like nobody’s business.

That Which is to Be

Posted in inspiration, mysticism at 10:49 am by admin

Setting before me that which was to be I recognized the similarities between what appeared to be and what already was. There is a distinct feeling of stepping outside of time. It is an attitude of acceptance. There is no waiting. There is a passing through the membrane of what is into what is to be.There are no hard or fast rules here. Motion is fluid as are the thoughts that come through. Yes there is a presence undoubtedly so. It moves and is self-aware. This is all we need to know. It only reveals itself through a series of awakenings, revelations, inspirations that come all of a sudden usually in the middle of ordinary affairs. It may appear that the catalyst is from without however, this is never so. It is always an internal wave of connection that opens up wherever there is darkness and replaces it with light.

Cubicle Advertising

Posted in humor, mysticism at 6:36 am by admin

In what is being called a quantum leap in the field of advertising Fortune 500 companies are now partnering in a new winner take all advertising campaign that aims to saturate the workplace with strategically placed ads. Melvin Hoople of Cuad (Cubicle Advertising) says the following:

“The advertising dollars are limitless and the payoff is phenomenal. Imagine if you will having posters placed in cubicles for products ads. Even more cutting edge than this would be the running ad screen based upon digital picture frame technology that would stream ads all day long. ”

Thomas Linard has already been approached by JC Penny’s to host their Spring Fling Campaign. Thomas has a cubicle strategically placed on the corner with both N-S and E-W traffic flowing by him all day long. Apparently he is being offered a contract to host their ads for a one year term. One of his coworkers, Edith Marson is miffed because her cubicle is right the middle of the aisle and not well placed at all. She says, “Why should I suffer and be economically disadvantaged simply because of where I sit?”

Major advertisers are bypassing upper management locations simply because no one really passes by there without looking away.

Agreements are being worked out in corporate meetings throughout the country after the first of the year permitting unilateral product placement across the board. CEO Brad Johnson of Technofly gave the following,

“You know one hand washes the other and everyone pitches in to drive sales. I think this will be good for everyone. The workplace does not have to be so sterile. Advertising would spiff it up don’t you think?”

The application process for obtaining a product placement must be accompanied by a picture of your location, how many people pass by each day and whether or not you will agree to wearing product placement materials as a tie or jacket label at least three times a year.

The typical agreements that are being offered range from seasonal placements at $1000 to year long campaigns valued from $1000 to $150,000. Cuad advises getting your applications in early as they think initally this will be very lucrative but due to saturation may turn out to be another Internet bubble.

Mary Wonkins however has a very dim view on all of this. With her tongue placed firmly in her cheek she had four words to say, “I don’t think so!

From the Sun to the Moon and back again

Posted in Kabbalah, Poetry, mysticism at 6:43 pm by admin

From the Sun to the Moon and back again

In the North she lives and yet she is warm.
Her heart knows him by now ever they are one.
In one look each soul took flight to the other.
This was how it must be and yes how it turned out.

Yes I can see you he tells her across the spaces.
Know that I can feel you she tells him without speaking.
In their silence there grows a light that is shared.
They embrace even though apart they remain together.

As I rise through each day you spend your nights
And when I shine from my heights my darkness your light.
Did you think I wouldn’t notice you ever again?
How could I forget when you are bonded forever to my heart.

There in my morning and there past mid day
Remember to dream and be together these moments.
It is enough then to know that love overflows.
And yes it is real my love he says, she sighs and travels on.

I am a river

Posted in mysticism at 2:35 pm by admin

I rode with the sunsets past the clouds

Seeking ever higher the whisper of the wind

Moving in stillness soaring lifted by intention

I saw no reason to stop so onward I flew.

There to my surprise my memories surrounded me.

They were joyful and full of meanings sublime.

Never had I ever seen them this way.

Until this moment seeking and then revelation.

You are there and I cannot contain myself.

Tears are streaming full of you and our love.

I feel like I am spiraling inside of where I stand

You tell yes this is what it is like to be a man.

In one twinkling I understand

The journey completes itself.

My love turns to awe in sight of you.

This is how it has always been you say.

This is too much I reach up.

No never enough learn to live your words you say.

How could I ever thank you for this?

By being closer to me than ever you answer..

I am a river through you to be

My purpose is revealed in these waters.

Your direction my perfection.

My feelings your flow everlastingly.

Moved By Unseen Forces

Posted in mysticism at 4:14 pm by admin

I am moved by unseen forces.
There the ways are continuously revealed.
My music so much a part of me cannot be stilled.
It is the flow of life through me and the reason for all of this to be.

Understanding awakens peacefully.
An open door leads to another.
I make this scene letting go of illusions
I find myself inside and laugh as with the best of friends.

What a mirror this life has become
And how welcome the souls connection.
Reaching up with all of my heart
Hashem flows below and says be who I am.

The sense of all of this spirals around me.
It moves a mountain or rather dissipates the clouds.
So close to who I am and yet to have to turn the corner
There now thats better on the other side.

A whisper from the purr of my cat
A simple wondering who is that.
A fluttering leaf dancing by
While melodies breath and sigh.

All of this to know for sure
The child in the man and more
The mystic reveals each level complete
And then opens new worlds for a better seat.

And oh this moment so sublime
Richness and fullness begin our climb
Knowing no end to our glorious ascent
We look up in surprise at what is meant.

Hey I was looking for you, You say.
Well what took you so long? Your answer.
I was afraid you see of your unknown, I reply
Silly all you had to do was ask, You say.

I thought I found you so many times and then, I cry.
There now its okay. All to keep you wondering why.
You tell me this and so much more
My heart is bursting with your love secure.

Home now in such a remarkable way
With you holding your arms out as if to say,
Reach up and within in your own way,
And make what you will out of each special day.

And it was morning the day yet begun
And it was time to greet the joyous sun
All around my feet tickled the grass
While skitterings were flitting by exceedingly fast.

So tell me Bochur do you make this up as you go along,
Is there any other way as in writing and singing your song.
Youve got me there I must confess.
Of course thats the point now to all the rest.

A symphony is in order with cymbals and strings
Dancing to the mysteries of love that happiness brings.
This is so good does it ever have to end,
No not ever that is my message to you my friend.

These words their symbols sometimes are lost
Not to worry dear child for a pittance is their cost.
What matters most is what you will find in your heart
That your journey continues ever loving from the start.

I like I say. Thats how it should be.
I knew you would for this sets you free.
Thank you for this gift and for opening wide
And you to love for listening so deeply inside.

As threads come together so too the soul touches above
Weaving patterns of awareness and cradles of love.
What joy there is to come closer to thee
And what purpose there is that youve chosen me.

Yes I feel the connection complete and whole.
Awaken the woman who rides upon your soul.
Let her know the beauty of all that
And when she touches you please tip your hat.

All of this comes in a vision so clear
As I prayed for your voice within to hear
And now that you answer my eyes fill with tears
Its all good now here forever all through the years.

What must I do to maintain this focus?
More of the same eternal upward locus.
The something else that cannot be denied
Makes its way through the darkness that opens light inside.

Use the entire playing field.
What is the playing field?
Everything you perceive above below all around.

Nathaniel came to a gorge spanning several hundred feet. His hunger was intense and then he saw on the other side of the precipice fruit dangling tantalizingly from the trees. He reached out his hand and in an instant he was across tasting the object of his intention. No this couldnt be you say. How is this possible? Dont worry about the how just become what it is you are seeking and all will be as one.

This story takes place in El Jadida, on the western coast of Africa, in Morrocco. This is where a little known Kabbalist by the name of Napu Naidu Apasaid took up residence in the 14th Century. They called him the Moroccan Menorah. A tale is told about his travels during the time between Passover and Shavuot. One morning Napu awoke under a tree filled with colorful leaves. He had paused there the night before to rest and so hadn’t noticed the colorful leaves.
“Is this miracle I see before me. Never have I ever seen a tree with such beautiful colored leaves.” He walked away from the tree and the leaves became a normal shade of green. He walked back under the tree and the leaves turned marvelous shades of blue, gold, orange and red. At first he thought it must be a trick of the light but then he verified that the sun had yet to fully rise over the hills beyond the forest.

“I must give thanks for this wonder that I do not know.” The instant he said this out loud the wind blew and causedthe leaves to blend together all in a shimmering white light. The white light highlighted a corridor where Napu could see people laughing and beckoning to him.

“Here goes nothing,” he said plunging into the vortex formed by the white light. At the other end he met men and women who were all scholars of the Torah. They were laughing and talking loudly to one another. One moment there was silence and then everyone clapped their hands for the wonderful revelation which was given.

Looking around Napu looked for all of the famous sages and prophets including the forefathers and Moses. He was led to a stream by a woman of timeless beauty. As he refreshed himself, he asked, “Where are all the famous sages of the Torah?”

“Oh they are here only they don’thave to show themselves any longer. Here we are all equal in Torah. In fact I think I met one of them once, Elijah I think he was called but he didn’t stay long enough to get to know him. Everything is different here. We don’t have to worry about rules orwhat something means. Torah is revealed here in every moment. There are no arguments and no reputations to be made. That is for another world. All all souls here participate and study Torah. Perhaps you would like to see our Torah?

“Of course,” he said as he was handed a Torah. It was a book much shorter than the one he was used to. “What happened here? Where is the rest of the Torah?” He asked now standing up by the clear stream he had taken a drink from.

“It’s all there. You see we just took the good parts. Everything else we left out.

“Can you do that?” He asked incredulously.

“Look around you,” we can just about do anything here. Napu saw people floating past him, some slowly and some so fast their forms were blurs againstthe background of the forest. “Remember to become that which you are seeking and do not lose sight of the one.”

The lights grew fainter and then Napu was back inside of the forest by the many colored tree. Her voice faded. She was no longer there when he turned to look. From that moment on, he knew how to travel weightlessly through the air. There were many things that he learned as well as many stories about his travels. This was one of those stories.

Journey from here there to everywhere

Posted in Fantasy, inspiration, mysticism at 12:52 pm by admin

Slingshot:

There he focused his attention. It started out in a wide arc and then in cone like fashion reached the apex of concentration. His entire being rode along filling the cone like aura with intention. It moved with him in concert unifying both step and direction. The energy increased exponentially. He became an electron inspired by light that would soon switch from one level to another. The feeling was imminent. The world kept calling and yet his attention kept refining its efforts reaching pinpoint accuracy. Then just as he reached the pinnacle of perception and could think no more he let go entering the vision of no thought in one giant leap of faith. It carried him over the top this time and everytime.

Change of State:

At first all is light nothing has individuated. It is like having your insides cast in every direction knowing all seeing all but understanding nothing. This next part is tricky. He recalled a particular feeling careful not to impress upon it any outpicturing of form. It must come of itself. Past experience had shown this to be true. There in the distance as it always began the horizon appeared.

Dawning:

There the plants and trees awaken and here the foreground shows everything in perfect harmony. Yes this is exactly as it must be.

Growing Feeling:

The framework is in place. The ground fit to walk upon. Something is missing. The landscape is static. A moment or two passes and then everything comes to life. There is expansion and transformation and we go through an entire cycle. Now that’s more like it. The feeling is back. Without this feeling there would be nothing to walk inside of or to walk beside either. It comes and it goes and then there it is. Practice this feeling. Yes this is it.

Schlepping there is half the fun.

Posted in humor, mysticism at 12:01 pm by admin

In the house just before going.

“It’s such a schlep why do we have to go there?” Rose says to Harry

“Please they are expecting us. Every year it’s the same with you. Let’s go, go, go and then at the last minute you have cold feet. Come on I’ve got schpilkas let’s get out of here,” Harry impatiently responds

“Well can we stop along the way like we always do along the way?” Rose asks.

“Of course that’s part of the trip right?”

“Okay we’ll go. How do I look?”

“What you’re asking me I see you everyday. You look wonderful the life of the party.”

“But my shoes do they go with this outfit?”

“Shoes you’re worried about? When your aunt cooks everybody is a Frescer. They don’t have time for anything else.”

“I know but what if you know there is like a moment and somebody say’s something about my shoes?”

“Don’t worry just give me the high sign and I’ll dash over.”

“You always were so romantic.”

“Don’t get me started we’ll never get out of here.”

They exit the house

In the car driving there.

“You missed the turnoff.” Rose says.

“Turnoff. No it’s farther down the road,” Harry looks up and shakes his head.

A few minutes later.

“I missed the turn off,” Harry sheepishly tells Rose. “I think I know a shortcut from here.”

“Okay you know what’s best but the last time you did this we ended up in Canada. Stubborn you are like nobody’s business,” Rose chides him.

They drive some more and then miraculously arrive at the house.

“I can’t believe you found your way here. How did you do it?” Rose smiles.

“I don’t have the slightest idea. I thought I was lost and took a chance. Oh well all’s well that ends well,” Harry says as they get out of the car.

“The house is dark. It’s supposed to be a surprise party. We’ll just knock and they will let us in,” Rose and Harry walk to the door. They knock. No answer. Harry goes around to the back of the house, the side and looks in the garage.

“Their car is gone. Say what day did the invitation say?” Harry asks Rose.

“Day they just said come Saturday night,” Rose answers.

“Which Saturday night?” Harry asks.

“Good point Harry. I’m sorry. Do you think you know the way back?” She asks

“Don’t worry I forgot something too. Remember we bought that GPS?”

“Yes. Do you know how to use it?

“I’ll figure it out,” Harry tells her.

They are back driving.

“Call your Mother it will give her Nachas. Tell her we’re coming over,” Rose tells him.

“Thanks Rose. We’re such a pair huh?”

“Yes Harry always,” Rose holds his hand.

The One Will

Posted in inspiration, mysticism at 7:07 am by admin

There is only one will. There can be no other. It isn’t your will or my will or their will or some will. It is the one will. Everything revolves around this one will and there are no exceptions. The one will by its nature is a unified will unitary in its presence and absolute in its purpose. The one will cannot be denied since it is ever present and indeed in every respect all powerful.

The one will is a rock in its resolve and yet it is tranformative in action becoming all things at all times and places. There is no paradox in the one will since it is complete in its comprehension of itself every answer has already been given and every question revealed the same. The one will is ultimate in its focus and certain of every outcome. As a statement of purpose the one will overrides all subservient purposes. They in effect become as nothing passing away like wisps of clouds before the one will.

The one will cannot be contained or bound, nor may it be held on to or even directed for any other purpose other than what the one will has described and continues to promote according to its own sense of being. This sense of being runs through all things. As it does so it transforms all things according to what its purpose is revealing moment by moment.

The one will is all powerful and can make anything possible from the most miraculous to the most mundane. It doesn’t take much to extrapolate this concept along the bands of spirituality to attach the meanings that are most familiar to you.

In some ways the one will may be thought of as a state of mind but this doesn’t allow for the infinite expression that the one will must be able to carry out. Rather think of the one will as a state of being and as such recognize that the life you experience is but a fraction of what the one will experiences through you.

Newman’s Revenge Act One

Posted in Seinfeld, humor at 7:30 pm by admin

INT. OUTSIDE NEWMAN’S APT

INT. NEWMAN’S APT

Sounds and crashes and whee ooo noises electronic blinking lights and then the manical laughter of Newman.

NEWMAN: Ha Ha. Finally my dreams will be realized. I will have my revenge. This device here will give me control over the minds of any and all who enter here. I’ll invite all of them over and then simply flick this toe switch while they think I’m sleeping and then they’re mine to do with as I wish. Torture, mayhem, oh what fun. (laughter echoes in the distance)

INT. SEINFELD’S APT

Elaine, George and Kramer are all there and each is holding an invitation from Newman.

ELAINE: So what do you think of this. Newman has come into some money and wants to give us each a thousand dollars.

GEORGE: Sounds fishy to me. You never know with that guy.

KRAMER: I say we should go and get the money. Let’s do it.

Kramer turns to leaves slips and catches himself on the couch and then falls down again. All three look quickly his way and then back again as Kramer becomes instantly upright.

SEINFELD: How does he do that. Listen if know Newman he is cooking up something. Did anyone one else get a crisp new hundred dollar bill?

Jerry holds up the bill. The others pull out their hundred dollar bill and compare it holding it up to the light looking at the back and front.

GEORGE: Does anyone know what counterfeit money looks like?

SEINFELD: Haven’t a clue. What’s the deal with this money anyway? We should just go spend it and not go there at all.

ELAINE: Oh come on Jerry we’ll humor him. Act like we’re his friends maybe there will be something extra after all. We can
leave at the first sign of trouble or if we get bored.

SEINFELD: I think I’m starting to get bored already. Have we been over there already?

GEORGE: What could he do anyway? He’s a postman.

They all look at each other as a horrifying thought occurs to each simultaneously.

ALL: Postal!

SEINFELD: Nah. It couldn’t be. It would take too much imagination.

KRAMER: Well what are we waiting for.

GEORGE: All right all right. Has anyone seen my gloves?

ELAINE: It’s Summer George what’s with the gloves.

GEORGE: I think I left them here and wanted to find them before it gets cold again.

ELAINE: Whatever.

They all exit together

INT. NEWMAN’S APT NYC NIGHT

Newman is testing his device attaching a button to his toe. He carefully opens his door a crack and then goes and lies down covering himself with a blanket. Seinfeld and company appear at the door.

EXT. HALLWAY NEWMAN’S APT NYC NIGHT

KRAMER: Who’s gonna knock. You know it is customary to knock.

GEORGE: All right Mr Polite I’ll knock.

SEINFELD: Wait. Don’t! Look the door is open.

KRAMER: Something terrible must have happened.

They look at each other, Kramer, Seinfeld and George back away from the door. Elaine looks back at them and shakes her head and then opens the door and peeks inside.

ELAINE: Shhh… He’s sleeping. (whispering)

SEINFELD: Sleeping? He invites us over to watch him sleep?

INT. NEWMANS APT NYC NIGHT

They all walk in careful not to make any noise Kramer shuts the door. Newman is sleeping peacefully or so it seems. Kramer walks over to run some water and then pours it in a glass and walks over to Newman.

ELAINE: What are you doing?

KRAMER: You know you take his pinky and put it in warm water and then he, (Kramer holds his face as he laughs) you know he…wet’s himself.

ELAINE: You are so demented.

SEINFELD: I don’t think we need a demonstration Kramer we’ll take your word for it.

KRAMER: Okay but you don’t know what you’re missing.(Giggling)

ELAINE: You know sleeping like that he looks kind of you know…

GEORGE: Just stop please I’m leaving.

ELAINE: I was just saying maybe there is another side to Newman.

Newman opens one eye slightly smiling and clicks his toe. The room wavers slightly.

SEINFELD: What was that?

GEORGE: I don’t know but really can we go now?

Suddenly Newman wakes up.

NEWMAN: Hey Elaine would you like to join me. (evil laugh)

ELAINE: Newman you are unbeliveable. What the heck are we doing here?

NEWMAN: Yes you would ask that. Oh nothing. I thought I could buy your friendship for a few moments but never mind now you can all go. Come on out the door. I’m through with you. Yes, yes thanks for coming. You can keep the money too, ha, ha.

Newman pushes all of them out the door and Elaine George and Seinfeld try and leave at once and find themselves temporarily stuck in the door. Kramer falls into to them breaking the logjam. The Kramer tries to come back in and Newman pushes him out as well.

EXT. HALLWAY NEWMAN’S APT

George is buzzing to come in.

SEINFELD: What do you want? Always bothering me. All right come on up see if I care.

George storms into the room.

GEORGE: All these years you never told me about this spot on my forehead. All these years people have been pointing and you never warned me. Some friend you are. Well you know what I don’t like you. Yeah that’s what I came to tell you.

SEINFELD: Oh yeah well I’m glad you came because I think you are a…

GEORGE: What’s happening to us? I’ve been feeling strange all morning

SEINFELD: Newman!

GEORGE: Newman! He did something to us. I’m telling you he is playing mind games here and I am going to get to the bottom of it.

Kramer walks in and attacks Seinfeld and George and all three are fighting when Elaine walks in.

ELAINE: Guys stop fighting please. I think I’m in love.

A tangle of bodies ceases their struggles breathless as they listen.

ELAINE: That’s right. Newman called me up and I am going out with him.

Connection above expression below

Posted in Jazz, Music, guitar, inspiration, mark siet at 6:39 pm by admin

State of Our Love [4:05m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

The first thing that you will notice when you begin to pay attention is that all of a sudden you are connected to something else that is very much aware of you in more ways than you can imagine. This is a two fold process. The adage as above so below applies completely in this case. Your awareness is only as complete as you allow yourself to become noticed. The revelation is a totality of being. You seek connection and yet just as fervently connection seeks you. Imagine that you are attaching yourself above while simultaneously you are being beckoned from this same above.

When you reach up it reaches down. Keep this in mind in your prayers since it is all too easy to ignore the connecting link by going too far along while never noticing the downward flow of questing that touches you along the way. It cannot be explained further than this except for elucidation of these main points endlessly. That my friends is how it works.

Your understanding seeks the undefinable and the undefinable seeks expression as defined. You can keep asking the same questions but sooner or later you’ll need to have the answers revealed to you. This sooner or later is exactly the moment of connection and as it occurs all things are revealed above and below. That is why you make the attempt in the first place so that you will recognize the unity of your asking and the corresponding response of the answer at first a feeling and then the feeling sheds itself around arising all through you to bring about the pathways of enlightenment. These pathways are guides for your feelings to flow into all through your body and yes everywhere inside of your worldly experiences.

Your thoughts are a mirror of its expression and like a mirror they aren’t quite exactly the same but with concentration and letting go you are able to become the expression and cast the mirror aside living for the unity of purpose that bring you and that connection together. We speak about it as one and the other but in reality they are really a part of the very same thing.

Watch with interest then this up and down flow of who you are. See this with an open heart for it is here that every connection is verified and witnessed as the truth of your being. It is this truth that stays with you throughout each day and defines the kind of person you have chosen to be.

All my pathways are peace

Posted in inspiration, mysticism, new thought, self help at 7:20 am by admin

All of my pathways are peace. Return to me now. The No-Mind Zen answer is the secret of becoming. Relax. Fulfillment comes naturally then. Life through love manages the transformation of thought from below to above and then back again. It is this back again that we too soon forget. Nothing moves until you let it go. Let it go and then become what you will be. No questions now about time or method simply with everything you have release and let go. Errant thoughts, negative feelings send them packing on their way and as they go they are transformed. In stillness meditate. Experience no thought to become higher thought where thinking is being.

It’s okay. All of it is working as designed. Let yourself become as clear as the water in the brook that washes noisily over the rocks running free dancing along my pathways of peace. As it goes so are you.

All That Is

Posted in Fantasy, Kabbalah, inspiration, mark siet, mysticism, new age, self help at 9:06 am by admin

That which is within me comes through me and tells me exactly what to say in order to express itself in the way in which I would want to be expressed. Can you see in these words the interweaving of subject and object and then postulate their synthesis in return? We are conduits for creation facilitating the flow of its expression by being open to that expression.

There is the place within where all is connected especially so the electric sensation of connection that unifies the awareness each time we seek out the mystery that is nothing and then everything. It flows through me and yes grows through me.

The thing is that you never know what or where it is going to manifest or in what proportion. The moment you call upon it you will find yourself awakening. This awakening is exactly like what happens during the transition from dreamtime to awaking normally except that this awakening is to a whole other dimension of you.

You always have the choice of going along with the status quo or of making the quantum leap into the next level of awareness. These subsequent levels all expand via the expansion of light directly upon the area of your connection with all that is.

It is difficult to speak about all that is simply because you will never be able to wrap your mind around the entirety of what this means. You will however, be able to touch it and become transformed by the essence of what you come into contact with.

A story to illustrate.

She was the Queen of space and of time. Tall angular in form flowing dark iridescent hair full bodied her face a picture of perfection with peace and fury mixed together she walks gracefully amongst the heavens sometimes known but more often than not her passing a mystery both above and below. Why do I know all of this? It is because I met her one-day traveling seeking a treasure to bring back to my beloved.

The journey was more intense than I could have imagined. Many times I was near death but pressed on guided perhaps by stubbornness but mostly by love. I would see my beloved’s face when I placed the precious object in her hands. It was at the crossroads of earth and heaven that I happened to meet her. I turned one way and then the other hesitating my steps for once unsure. It was there she appeared and there that I was transformed.

I cannot say what she said although she spoke of worlds upon worlds with end. It could have been that I spent lifetimes through her. Yes through her because what she is not something you could address directly but more like an experience that you won’t ever forget. Yes of course she is as I described her but what she is inside of herself I couldn’t begin to tell you. She held nothing back her words so awesome that my mind could not keep up and I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I woke up she was gone.

It was just after that I found my treasure and when I took it to my beloved she asked what I had for her. I held out my hands and told her she was the most beautiful of all women in the world and that I was in this moment holding my dearest treasure of all.

She told me that she understood and felt the same. She saw that I was transformed and that she by touching me that day was also transformed. I never told her about the Queen of space and time. I didn’t have to because she has never left me and one day my beloved will meet her and understand all there is to know. For now our love takes us through the remainder of our days where wishes become raindrops and miracles form in the pools of water in the gardens of our home.

My place on high…

Posted in Poetry, inspiration, mark siet, self help at 12:44 pm by admin

I took a journey to my place on high

Reaching far and wide my soul did fly

It found you there in a spiraling form

And in your embrace I stayed safe and warm.

All I ever had to do was to know your name

Your presence more precious tells me the same.

So now I learn to walk with you by my side

Seeing worlds unveiled before me that cannot hide.

I am there to be your guiding light

You tell me to listen both day and night

And then I can hear your whispering song

That speaks the truth both short and long.

What lights are these that you reveal?

Opening all secrets that you conceal

And then I awaken in the middle of the day

To find you here helping me all along the way.

This moment

Posted in inspiration, mysticism, new age at 2:56 pm by admin

It’s this moment where creation meets the will to become and there is a unity of expression both above and below. Somehow it is a universe away as if the light was too bright to take in all at once. I never understood that principle until yes just this moment. This is what may be called a simultaneous inspiration where both the information received and the information asked for turn out to be the very same thing. It is like watching a movie all the while seeing the end there in the distance coloring every scene like some computerized graphics program. I’ll stop for now the light is becoming piercing and everything that is to be there has to be an abstract understanding veiling the light and therefore giving it a form in which it may be beheld. (Don’t think I’ve ever used that word before – beheld – now there is another source of wonder)

Let Freedom Ring

Posted in Barack Obama, Music, inspiration at 2:54 pm by admin

Today we are free

The clouds have left you see

Something new yes more to come

America is born another rising sun.

So many times to reinvent this land

With all of us as witness to take a hand

This time to make it happen as it could

By believing that yes we can be what we would.

The spirit of America she has her own way

And she wakes us up from our troubles on this day

To point the way for light to fill the azure skies

Where eagles reign supreme there like our flag soaring flies.

If you want to have a sense just who we are

Look over at your neighbor whether near or far

And see the hope filled heart and encouraging word

Shared with one another in the voices of patriots heard.

So let freedom ring through all the land

Let harmony sing for everyman.

Let there be laughter starting today
And brotherhood for all mankind each in their own way.

The Quantum nature of consciousness

Posted in Quantum Reality, inspiration, mysticism, new age at 11:22 am by admin

Anything can happen at every moment of time. We are never bound by what has come before nor by what we expect to come after. In a sense we roll the dice each moment in order to determine the outcomes we experience. This is but one gotcha here in this equation. Since we are both the roller of the dice and the receiver of the experience we cannot help but be affected by both our actions in setting forth our expectations along with the ensuing results of those expectations. Just like the experiment cannot be separated from the observer so too our consciousness cannot be separated from itself in bringing about the nature of the reality of our experiences.

In Quantum Physics the smallest of particles have been known to do very strange things such as appearing at time intervals that weren’t predicted or morphing into something else entirely new. It is this principle that we may also apply to consciousness in that what we are thinking and thinking about colors all of our actions and reactions to those experiences that occur. There is an overriding design that is in place that at first defies description but then as we grow accustomed to this everflow of information and experience we begin to see connections via what Carl Jung called Synchronicity. It is this Synchonicity that establishes a baseline for our thoughts. When we combine Synchonicity with memory then all at once we are suddenly noticing connections between our thoughts and the deeds that take place regardless of the timeline. This is the Quantum nature of consciousness to spring back upon itself in order to know itself and indeed express itself in the fullest way possible.

The key to all of these observations is to listen to your thoughts as they are flowing so that you will then be able to make the connections as they occur. Sometimes you’ll think of something while a thing is happening and the feeling will be so intense that you will begin to realize how connected those thoughts you were thinking are to the events taking place. At others times you’ll repeat a thought from a few days before just as the experience is happening and you’ll experience the same connection.

The Quantum nature of consciousness is an ongoing awakening from a state of random thinking to a program of unified thinking that seeks the answers within to the events taking place without. We are ongoing then in our efforts to make the connections more meaningful each time they occur.

There are so many adherents to this kind of thoughtful introspection. Take for example the feeling of deja-vu. The feeling of already having experienced this emotion or thought or situation. This deja-vu is one of the markers of Quantum consciousness that once you begin to notice the way that this works you will take it as second nature that you are connecting to the source of those feelings which turns out to be the initial thoughtform that produced the waves that you are now becoming aware of.

Conceive of consciousness as what you know according to what you are thinking about in the now and also what you will be thinking about in the then. In addition Consciousness also contains all thought so that we could say that at any given moment each of us embodies a particular degree of thoughtform that is in harmony with the intention of our thinking. If we have a problem we think about that or if we are lost in reverie that is where we go. All of our thinking depends upon our awareness of the same.

Quantum consciousness then is the awareness of thinking that takes place as we move along through the endless experiences that move within and without. Our thoughts may be compared to those ultra tiny particles that are considered by quantum physics that seem to move inside and out of one dimension after another. The same holds true of our thoughts according to the degree of our awareness and the facility with which we are able to let them go to seek their highest level.

Some would say that Quantum consciousness is an outgrow of this New Age of awareness yet it may also be said that this New Age of awareness is directly a result of our collective Quantum Consciousness. What this shows is that what is defined is affected by the entity that does the descriptive analysis. In other words we cannot separate the thinker from the thought. Therefore we may say that Quantum consciousness is continuously redefining itself according to the way we are thinking about it.

This brings up one more point of discussion. As our awareness grows so too does our ability to influence the flow not only of thoughts but also of their outcomes. Imagine traveling in a river where the current is swift but you have control over where in the river you are positioned. This control isn’t exact by any means and yet you are still the master of your destination using the oars of your intention to propel you forward. This is quantum consciousness in action. It isn’t quite what you think but think again and perhaps it actually is what you think.

In a corner of spirit: Friday Poem

Posted in Poetry at 7:13 am by admin

Posted in Kabbalah, inspiration, torah at 8:08 am by admin

The entire purpose of reaching up for higher thought is to be connected on high. It is this connection that at first we strive for and then we become accustomed to. In a very real sense we first ascend in our intention and then transcend the limits of every day thinking. The way in which we do this is by recognizing that all along the way the light that shows the way is always there for us to tread these ancient pathways of discovery.

The Mind can know no limits. We hold both the reins and ride the horse simultaneously holding on and letting go. In turn our emotions fuel the those thoughts we hold dear as our intellect moves to organize and make sense of everything going on all around us. While it is true that sometimes we may only react to what we see and hear it is also possible to act with purpose and intention to promote those thoughts and feelings that are ascending and destined for connection on high.

The study of Kabbalah gives form to the formless. Through the use of various abstract symbols we learn to paint the pictures in mind that serve to unify our awareness not only of our immediate surrounding but also of the greater picture seen from the vantage point of an inspiration that is never ending. The concept of the Sephiroth for example as energy centers of awareness allows us to shine our attention on an area of unfolding thought that we otherwise would not pay attention to. It isn’t simply a matter of learning everything you can about what each of these ten energy spheres represent in all of the four worlds. What you must keep in mind all along this study is that its purpose is to awaken your thoughts into a state of self recognition.

In the Yoga sutras of Patanjali 1.17. Cognitive meditation is accompanied by reasoning, discrimination, bliss and the sense of ‘I am.’ Meditation does not begin only when you decide to do so. You are in a constant state of meditation that may only be improved by your inner awareness that this is taking place. When you look within it is with this sense of study, satisfaction and the knowledge that ultimately you are finding connection through this process. At every turn you will proceed from what you know towards what you are aspiring to learn.

Piyyut Yitro

Posted in Hebrew, Judaica, Kabbalah, torah at 2:21 pm by admin

Look beyond the mountain to view beyond the sea

Sail over waters majestic the wind is setting free.

Rush headlong into happiness losing every doubt

And listen oh so deeply the whisper seems a shout.

Rise up within complete to be what you will be

And there in every moment call to eternity.

Your every single purpose all will become as one

As you hold the sacred stones the world has just begun.

Forever stretches out before you all there in a day.

Your every step is sanctified along the holy way.

There is no turning back once you make up your mind

To become that which you are seeking in reflection to unwind.

The fence around which your thoughts in time must flow

Has gates of awakening everywhere you hearken there to go

Remember the unity that makes you exactly who you are

Was given to you way above as heaven is given a star.

Garden Song

Posted in Music, Poetry, guitar at 8:53 am by admin

It’s a rainy day in Southern California. This song just about captures the mood where the waters move elegantly within to produce the wonderful flowers of spring and summer. Everything is as it should be and all is right with the world.

These showers flow do sweetly forth
Beyond the veil the ancient north
that sees everything ahead of time
and watches all who seek to climb.

We arrive before we meet
to find the soul all will keep
and soar into the skies above
where flowers are envisioned with love.

Still there are no words quite right
to serve to give all to this light
even so in some very small way
this serves this spirit of this day.

Enjoy this moment like no other,

Mark Siet

There upon the mountains…

Posted in Kabbalah, Poetry, Quantum Reality, inspiration at 7:05 am by admin

In every song and every sending there is a purpose that achieves itself by directing our attention to that which must be. There is no other way to describe this state of mind other than by experiencing it in the moment. Every reason for listening is so that understanding may increase and the energy of connection be released. This connection establishes itself within us according to both our attention to its presence and our innate ability to disregard the illusions that would hinder or dampen the experience of listening. This is something we face everyday.

We live in a sea of sensation and for the most part are overwhelmed by the complexity and sheer volume of images that reach us. However, we may learn discrimination that is the purpose of open up ourselves to learn about the types of energies that are out there. We then start to become conscious of these energies and use them for the good of all including ourselves. What does it mean to use them for the good of all? Simply put we learn to filter these flows using our creative imagination. Lyrically here is an example of what we are talking about.

There upon the mountains or across the inner sea
I watched the waters flow by wanting what would be
There in your eyes so high in mind so much to say
Aware that every moment cast will find its own way.

The next thing that you think of oh may it be love
Sent of course from heaven that place up above.
The perfect kind of moment is when there is light
Shining there in between so wonderful and bright.

Yes it is take care get in the groove
For everything depends on this move
Playing for time won’t get you anywhere
So stay to climb that uppermost stair.

Here is something that perhaps you did not know
You can sift through the sands and filter the flow.
Build yourself the web of everlasting delight
By seeing what you’ll find there freeing the light.

The moment comes and then it goes and here it comes again
It watches you watching high to make yourself my friend.

Reach on high. What is your best thought? How would you know it in the first place? This is where discrimination takes place. Your highest aspirations are only as high as you make them to be and then you only go as far as you allow yourself to go. What is it that is in your hands to shape and mold your own future? There is only one thing and that is your thoughts and the accompanying emotions that these thoughts produce. Try as some might you will never escape yourself. Especially you cannot get away from your highest inclinations. Some would hide their light and then face sadness because ultimately no matter what projections of blame are placed upon the world it is our own filtering process that make the difference as to whether or not we are able to reach past our own misgivings.

If we make the continuous choices to accept our good, our highest aspirations as the truth of ourselves then we built within a template for higher awareness that is the foundation stone of all connection with the Eternal for what else could the Eternal be but an eternal seeking of good. If you don’t see this you are by definition still hiding your good for whatever reasons. Today this moment as you read through these thoughts know that they truly emanate from you. Consider me the messenger in the same way as I consider my own highest thoughts as the messengers of that which is eternally most high.

Thoughts becoming form

Posted in Kabbalah, inspiration, self help at 2:38 pm by admin

Musings on my thoughts becoming form.

I see that over the course of days my thoughts do expand themselves and then express themselves accordingly. This isn’t something that happens only once in a while. It is predetermined by design to be right on consistently. Remember that the certainty of each moment is determined by placing before you as an established action all that you wish to occur. In this way you end up walking into the next scene filled with light. Try this sometime. Then as you begin to experience your thoughts in full consciousness recognize that you have moved up a level like an electron bursting into its next level of awareness so too is your recognition but another form of the quantum light that is given off by your awakening awareness.

Newman’s Revenge Act’s Three and Four

Posted in Larry David, Seinfeld, humor at 12:31 pm by admin

ACT THREE – NEWMAN’S REVENGE

INT – OUTSIDE NEWMAN’S APT. NYC – EVENING

Everyone is standing outside of the door as Newman opens the door and then turns to them.

NEWMAN

Please a moment I left some things laying around let me clean up just a bit be right back.

GEORGE

I can just imagine what is going on in there. I don’t know about this.

ELAINE

Come on. You’re the one who said to reciprocate.

SEINFELD

I hate that word it’s like everyone expects you to do something for them like making a deal.

GEORGE

Just to have a drink and then I’m out of there. I can’t believe we’re having

drinks at Newman’s apartment. How the mighty have fallen.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – BACK BEDROOM – NYC – EVENING

Newman is turning on all of his devices scrambling back and forth and finally through he opens the door.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM – NYC – EVENING

NEWMAN (ALA GLEASON)

Welcome to my humble abode. Please join me friends.

Kramer in back rushes forward and slides through the tripping falling and landing in the easy chair.

KRAMER

Ah my favorite chair. It’s very comfortable. Want to try.

GEORGE

That’s quite okay. I’ll just stand for a while. Nice pictures Newman!

NEWMAN

Yes my favorite mail carriers each month a different hero.

SEINFELD

I thought you stopped working there.

NEWMAN

Oh you never leave to postal service. It’s a lifetime commitment.

SEINFELD (ROLLING HIS EYES)

I see. Sounds like a religion.

NEWMAN

Oh but it is it is. Let me get you some drinks I have a tray here. Elaine? Where is she? Drinks.

ELAINE

I thought I would check out your kitchen. Very clean. Good for you Newman. Interesting. Didn’t know you were a nerd. What’s back here?

NEWMAN

Nothing to concern you.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARMENT KITCHEN – NYC – EVENING

Newman rushes to the kitchen squeezing past Elaine to shut the bedroom door. Elaine meanwhile returns to the living room.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM – NYC – EVENING

NEWMAN (FROM THE KITCHEN)

Drinks are coming right up. What a treat. My special blend.

ELAINE (IN A WHISPER)

You should have seen. Computers. Test tubes. Wires and pipes.

SEINFELD

Test tubes? Now this is getting serious. What do you think he has cooking.

ELAINE

I don’t know but I flipped a few switches to see what was what. You know me I’m tactilely curious.

KRAMER

Tactilely curious? I like that.

ELAINE (HOLDING A SMALL BOOK)

I also took this.

SEINFELD

Interesting. You pushed these buttons?

ELAINE

Yes just those

SEINFELD

This changes everything.

Newman walks in carrying a drink tray each takes a drink. Newman very carefully sets aside a drink for himself.

SEINFELD

A toast then to Newman a greater friend hath no man.

ALL

To Newman!

They all raise their glasses and drink. Newman gets a glazed look in his eyes.

KRAMER

You know I missed my calling. I filled in one day and no one knew.

GEORGE

And how did that work out…

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM – EVENING – MIST

NEWMAN (OC)

What have I done these are my friends and soon they will suffer a horrible fate. They were being kind to me. I really felt like we were bonding. Oh no I can’t stop it now either. I must go through with it.

SEINFELD (LOUDLY)

Newman!

NEWMAN

Feeling strange about now Seinfeld?

SEINFELD

Am I? Nope feel fine. How about you George?

GEORGE

Couldn’t be better.

Newman sways and is becoming rigid.

NEWMAN (TURNING TO ELAINE)

What did you do?

ELAINE

Oh nothing just flipped a few switches and turned a couple of buttons.

Newman gets a look of horror on his face and then stiffens completely.

SEINFELD.

So you planned to do us in make us your slaves but now the tables are turned. What shall we do with him?

GEORGE

Make him walk off a bridge for all I care. I told you we should never have trusted him. What does the book say.

SEINFELD

It says here that the subject Newman will obey any and all commands completely for a period of eight hours and then have no memory of those eight hours.

KRAMER

We could send him out pimping. I have a hat he could wear.

ELAINE

You would.

GEORGE

Wait a minute I have an idea. You know that mail he brags about never delivering? What if we make him deliver it now in the middle of the night>

SEINFELD

I like it. I like it.

KRAMER

Sounds like poetic justice to me. Let’s do it.

SEINFELD

Newman show us the undelivered mail.

Newman walks over zombie like to a closet where five postal bags are filled with mail.

ELAINE

Can I try to command him?

SEINFELD

Sure happy commanding.

ELAINE

Take all of this mail and deliver it to the last letter to their rightful owners and finish before the night is through. Hurry you have no time to waste.

Newman grabs the five bags of mail struggles to leave the door and then is gone.

GEORGE

He’ll have no memory of this right?

SEINFELD

That’s what it says

GEORGE

Good enough for me. I’m out of here.

SEINFELD

Meet me tomorrow for breakfast

KRAMER

Breakfast it is.

They exit Newman’s apartment.

ACT FOUR – NEWMAN’S REVENGE

INT – LUNCHEONETTE – NYC – MORNING

Elaine, George, Kramer and Seinfeld are sitting at the table. Mail is littered covering their table. As we look around a similar scene is taking place at the other tables with people bewilderingly opening letters some as long as five years ago.

GEORGE

Look at this season tickets for 2006. Remember I was all mad at Steinbrenner for not giving me tickets. He kept razzing me all the time about not showing up and throwing good money after bad.

KRAMER

I won the Publisher’s Clearing House in 2005. I’m rich but where’s my money?

ELAINE

Love letters from Puddy. I thought he didn’t care was too self involved.

SEINFELD

I had a movie offer from Steven Spielberg from 2004 for a spin off of ET’s club dates.

ELAINE

Here he comes.

Newman walks in head low hiding his face.

SEINFELD

Newman!

NEWMAN

Seinfeld! I sense your evil hand in all of this. The last thing I remember were having dinner and then this morning I woke up and all my mail is gone. I walk around and everyone is reading piles of mail all around me. If anyone were to find out…

GEORGE

Don’t worry Newman we’re your friends. How could you do this to people? Look at them they are crying pulling their hair. It’s terrible. Although I could really do without these invitations that I never received.

ELAINE

You get the good with the bad. Think of it this way Newman.

You can’t mess with the mail.

SEINFELD

The mail always goes through no matter what. It’s a miracle.

NEWMAN

I don’t know about a miracle but I’ll be watching you Seinfeld.

SEINFELD

Go right ahead watch away.

Newman starts to leave and just then Kramer jumps up.

KRAMER

It’s him. He did it. He delivered your mail late to you.

People in the luncheonette turn around as Newman tries to hurry out the exit but there is an old man with a cane twirling it in the way.

PATRON ONE

I remember him he used to be our mailman.

PATRON TWO

Yes he was never on time. I always thought there was something funny about him.

PATRON THREE

Let’s get him.

Newman breaks past the old man and the entire luncheonette including waitresses and cooks chase him down the street while Seinfeld and Company remain seated.

SEINFELD

It’s too bad really but it had to happen.

GEORGE (SHAKES HIS HEAD)

Had to happen.

ELAINE

Well you know Kramer you could have gone easier on him.

KRAMER

Hey I could have been rich. Tough love is what that boy needs.

SEINFELD

Tough love indeed

ELAINE

There is nothing we could do. Well what now?

GEORGE

Our orders are waiting over there. Let’s eat.

SEINFELD

That’s always a good idea.

The END

NEWMAN’S REVENGE

Posted in George Costanza, Larry David, Newman, Seinfeld, humor at 1:11 pm by admin

ACT ONE

INT. OUTSIDE NEWMAN’S APT

INT. NEWMAN’S APT

Sounds and crashes and whee ooo noises electronic blinking lights and then the maniacal laughter of Newman.

NEWMAN: Ha Ha. Finally my dreams will be realized. I will have my revenge. This device here will give me control over the minds of any and all who enter here. I’ll invite all of them over and then simply flick this toe switch while they think I’m sleeping and then they’re mine to do with as I wish. Torture, mayhem, oh what fun. (laughter echoes in the distance)

INT. SEINFELD’S APT

Elaine, George and Kramer are all there and each is holding an invitation from Newman.

ELAINE: So what do you think of this. Newman has come into some money and wants to give us each a thousand dollars.

GEORGE: Sounds fishy to me. You never know with that guy.

KRAMER: I say we should go and get the money. Let’s do it.

Kramer turns to leaves slips and catches himself on the couch and then falls down again. All three look quickly his way and then back again as Kramer becomes instantly upright.

SEINFELD: How does he do that. Listen if know Newman he is cooking up something. Did anyone one else get a crisp new hundred dollar bill?

Jerry holds up the bill. The others pull out their hundred dollar bill and compare it holding it up to the light looking at the back and front.

GEORGE: Does anyone know what counterfeit money looks like?

SEINFELD: Haven’t a clue. What’s the deal with this money anyway? We should just go spend it and not go there at all.

ELAINE: Oh come on Jerry we’ll humor him. Act like we’re his friends maybe there will be something extra after all. We can

leave at the first sign of trouble or if we get bored.

SEINFELD: I think I’m starting to get bored already. Have we been over there already?

GEORGE: What could he do anyway? He’s a postman.

They all look at each other as a horrifying thought occurs to each simultaneously.

ALL: Postal!

SEINFELD: Nah. It couldn’t be. It would take too much imagination.

KRAMER: Well what are we waiting for.

GEORGE: All right all right. Has anyone seen my gloves?

ELAINE: It’s Summer George what’s with the gloves.

GEORGE: I think I left them here and wanted to find them before it gets cold again.

ELAINE: Whatever.

They all exit together

INT. NEWMAN’S APT NYC NIGHT

Newman is testing his device attaching a button to his toe. He carefully opens his door a crack and then goes and lies down covering himself with a blanket. Seinfeld and company appear at the door.

EXT. HALLWAY NEWMAN’S APT NYC NIGHT

KRAMER: Who’s gonna knock. You know it is customary to knock.

GEORGE: All right Mr Polite I’ll knock.

SEINFELD: Wait. Don’t! Look the door is open.

KRAMER: Something terrible must have happened.

They look at each other, Kramer, Seinfeld and George back away from the door. Elaine looks back at them and shakes her head and then opens the door and peeks inside.

ELAINE: Shhh… He’s sleeping. (whispering)

SEINFELD: Sleeping? He invites us over to watch him sleep?

INT. NEWMANS APT NYC NIGHT

They all walk in careful not to make any noise Kramer shuts the door. Newman is sleeping peacefully or so it seems. Kramer walks over to run some water and then pours it in a glass and walks over to Newman.

ELAINE: What are you doing?

KRAMER: You know you take his pinky and put it in warm water and then he, (Kramer holds his face as he laughs) you know he…wet’s himself.

ELAINE: You are so demented.

SEINFELD: I don’t think we need a demonstration Kramer we’ll take your word for it.

KRAMER: Okay but you don’t know what you’re missing.(Giggling)

ELAINE: You know sleeping like that he looks kind of you know…

GEORGE: Just stop please I’m leaving.

ELAINE: I was just saying maybe there is another side to Newman.

Newman opens one eye slightly smiling and clicks his toe. The room wavers slightly.

SEINFELD: What was that?

GEORGE: I don’t know but really can we go now?

Suddenly Newman wakes up.

NEWMAN: Hey Elaine would you like to join me. (evil laugh)

ELAINE: Newman you are unbeliveable. What the heck are we doing here?

NEWMAN: Yes you would ask that. Oh nothing. I thought I could buy your friendship for a few moments but never mind now you can all go. Come on out the door. I’m through with you. Yes, yes thanks for coming. You can keep the money too, ha, ha.

Newman pushes all of them out the door and Elaine George and Seinfeld try and leave at once and find themselves temporarily stuck in the door. Kramer falls into to them breaking the logjam. The Kramer tries to come back in and Newman pushes him out as well.

EXT. HALLWAY NEWMAN’S APT

GEORGE: Can anybody tell me what that was all about?

SEINFELD: (Raising an eye brow) I don’t know but knowing Newman it can’t be good. (Sinister Music)

INT. SEINFELD’S APT NYC NEXT DAY

George is buzzing to come in.

SEINFELD: What do you want? Always bothering me. All right come on up see if I care.

George storms into the room.

GEORGE: All these years you never told me about this spot on my forehead. All these years people have been pointing and you never warned me. Some friend you are. Well you know what I don’t like you. Yeah that’s what I came to tell you.

SEINFELD: Oh yeah well I’m glad you came because I think you are a…

GEORGE: What’s happening to us? I’ve been feeling strange all morning

SEINFELD: Newman!

GEORGE: Newman! He did something to us. I’m telling you he is playing mind games here and I am going to get to the bottom of it.

Kramer walks in and attacks Seinfeld and George and all three are fighting when Elaine walks in.

ELAINE: Guys stop fighting please. I think I’m in love.

A tangle of bodies ceases their struggles breathless as they listen.

ELAINE: That’s right. Newman called me up and I am going out with him.

SEINFELD: No Elaine you can’t. Newman did something to all of us. We’re not like this. He must have done something to you too. You don’t like Newman remember?

ELAINE: Newman! But I can’t help myself I am obsessed with him, I want to…

They all hold their ears.

SEINFELD: No don’t say it or think it. We have to stick together.

A knock on the door. It’s Newman.

NEWMAN: Everyone feeling okay, ha ha.

GEORGE: What did you do to us. Make it stop.

NEWMAN: Never you are my puppets to do with as I like.

KRAMER: Please Newman I never liked any of them. It was always you.

NEWMAN: No fickle person I see through you. Now all of you walk over to the window and lean out and then jump…

SEINFELD: No, no…

They all walk as if they are Newman’s puppets.

NEWMAN: Not you Elaine you will be my plaything.

Elaine stops as Seinfeld, George and Kramer are now leaning over the window. A chorus of no’s screams and really horrible sounds come from them.

INT: NEWMAN’S APT NYC NIGHT

NEWMAN: (sleeping) No, No, No.

SEINFELD: Newman wake up we’ve come to take you out for your birthday.

NEWMAN: Huh. Birthday? Oh yes of course.

GEORGE: That must have been some dream. We could hear you out in the hall. Good thing you left your door open.

NEWMAN: Yes wasn’t it.

KRAMER: We’ll miss the show come on let’s go.

ELAINE: Hey Newman what’s all this junk in the other room? Are you becoming a nerd?

NEWMAN: Oh nothing. Nothing at all

They exit the door shuts the last shot of the mysterious equipment humming and crackling.

ACT TWO — NEWMAN’S REVENGE

INT: NYC – SEINFELD’S CAR EVENING

Seinfeld is driving, George is in the shotgun seat, Elaine is sitting behind George, Kramer crunched and hunched in the middle and Newman with a vicious grin is behind Seinfeld.

SEINFELD

So we are finally going out to dinner the five of us. It’s quite an occasion don’t you think?

GEORGE

I don’t know why we couldn’t go to the Italian Restaurant. We need more Jewish food like a hole in the head. I’m already burping.

SEINFELD

Now George this is for Newman. It’s his favorite restaurant, The Knish and Knack. It’s only one night. I’ve brought plenty of antacid. We can pop the pills before we eat. Now I haven’t had a good cuggle since Rosh Hashanah. I can still taste.

KRAMER

It’s all good we’re going to eat like kings tonight.

Kramer leans forward bumps his head moves around and hits both Newman and Elaine with his elbows.

ELAINE

Hey watch it you’re going to knock us out.

NEWMAN

Kramer just try and relax. I would have sat in the middle to be next to…

SEINFELD

Kids stop fighting now we’re almost there.

NEWMAN (LOOKS OFF IN THE DISTANCE)

Yes we are aren’t we?

A dream sequence just like the opening scenes of Newman ordering everyone around taking guilty pleasure in his conquests.

GEORGE

Finally. We’re here

KRAMER

I have to get out of here.

Kramer moves and turns and Elaine and Newman get their door open just in time but Kramer swims out of the car almost getting the door shut on him by George as he leaves the car.

SEINFELD (TO ELAINE)

This should be good. Nice car swimming Kramer.

ELAINE

Yeah I’ve never seen a better breaststroke. Oops did I just say that?

GEORGE

Come on let’s go I can already taste the Pastrami. The things I do…

INT –NYC – RESTAURANT – KNISH AND KNACK – EVENING

WAITRESS

Oh my it’s Jerry Seinfeld. Oh you don’t remember me and now I am waiting on you. How about that coincidence?

SEINFELD

Hi Gloria. You know the gang. I’ll have my usual. This is George, Kramer, Elaine and Newman. It’s Newman’s birthday we called ahead for some bobka for dessert.

WAITRESS

Yes it is waiting for you. So what’s new?

The waitress Gloria sits down squeezing in the booth.

WAITRESS

Just like old times Jerry me and you almost like a date. I am glad you came tonight. Oh boy what’s a girl to do?

GEORGE

For starters could we have our menus?

Gloria gives him a dirty look and gets up and gets the menus and stomps away.

SEINFELD

You had to get her mad? She is bringing us food. There is nothing I hate more than mad food. No matter how it looks you’ll never know if it’s been tampered with.

NEWMAN

Stranger things have been known to happen, heh, heh.

ELAINE

So what’s the deal with your girlfriend here? She seems pretty chummy.

KRAMER

Oh I like chummy.

At that moment Kramer who is the only one in a chair at the end of the booth has his chair knocked by a passerby who gives him a dirty look as he struggles to stay upright. No one pays any attention to him

SEINFELD

Well it was kind of personal and happened so long ago…

KRAMER

You can’t just leave us hanging. Come give it up.

SEINFELD

They told me Gloria was one of those girls who put out so I started paying attention to her. She isn’t half bad either that helps. I didn’t know about her idiosyncrasies.

GEORGE

Idiosyncrasies. You don’t hear that word very often.

ELAINE

Continue

NEWMAN (LOOKING FAR OFF AGAIN)

Yes do.

We see Newman in a fantasy scene picking up the fork and moving to strike a blow to Seinfeld’s hand as he is gesturing telling his story.

SEINFELD

This is going to be strange I warn you. I finally walked her home from school one day. She stopped by a tree and motioned for me to come over. I thought here it is. I moved over with my best swagger and then she starts kissing the tree and rubbing against it all the while eyeing me. Then abruptly she stops and we move on. I mean what do you say to someone after that? What’s up with the tree thing? I thought maybe this was a fluke.

GEORGE

A fluke. You are calling this a fluke. Oh this is classic. I love it.

ELAINE

You would. So what happened?

SEINFELD

There were a lot of trees on the way home. I couldn’t believe how many. It was dark before I arrived at her door. I thought okay this is weird but maybe she’ll invite me in and I’ll get lucky. I could endure the trees if it paid off.

NEWMAN

So what happened then?

SEINFELD

We’re at the door and she smiles and is about to go inside when I ask if she wanted company. Oh no she says this was so exciting today we’ll have to pick up where we left off tomorrow. You see when she said tomorrow I felt like I had been used. I felt cheap. Imagine me witnessing those unspeakable acts of erotic tree hugging. I felt so unclean.

KRAMER

As you should. The next day you walked home with her.

SEINFELD

No we took the bus and when we got off she asked if I wanted to walk in the woods with her. Now normally that would have been an invitation but how could I compete against all those trees?

GEORGE

I see your point. Still you know maybe the whole tree thing was just an act to turn you on. You may have missed out.

SEINFELD

Perhaps but in this case discretion was the better part of valor. As a footnote to this she married a park ranger a few years back. He disappeared last year while they were on vacation in the Smoky Mountains.

ELAINE

It makes sense. He was the only man for her until she found another tree.

KRAMER

Ah love it just sings.

Gloria comes back and takes their orders and Kramer puts his hands over his head and moves back and forth. Gloria looks strangely at him and then as she walks away she sidles against his chair.

ELAINE

You always were the sick one.

KRAMER

How lovely is a tree…

EXT – NYC – RESTAURANT STEPS – EVENING

They are standing around as waiting for George who forgot something and then he comes back out.

ELAINE

I have to admit this was lovely. Newman I didn’t know that about you that you were a Merit Scholar and decided to chuck it all for your love of the USPS. Your dedication is admirable.

NEWMAN

Well Elaine I had to choose something that would pay it forward and the mail was my calling. I dreamed of becoming a postman ever since the day …Um let’s not go there…ever since the day I found a letter that my carrier dropped. I hand delivered it to my neighbor and it was apparently such good news that she gave me five dollars. I’ll never forget that day.

GEORGE

That’s quite a story. It explains a lot about you. We had you all wrong it seems.

SEINFELD

I would have been the last to admit it but yes your story was very touching.

Kramer is out at the curb thumbing for a ride.

SEINFELD

Kramer what are you doing? I have my car.

KRAMER

I am just practicing you never know when you need a ride.

Someone stops and Kramer is bending low talking to the driver who pulls off giving Kramer the finger.

NEWMAN

You know I just feel so good about tonight maybe we could go back to my place I wanted to show you something I’ve been working on. It would really mean a lot to me. It won’t take long. I have some beer, chips, scotch whatever. Please let me reciprocate.

GEORGE

It’s okay by me. Reciprocate all you want. I’m in.

ELAINE

That’s very nice Newman sure we can come for a while.

SEINFELD

To Newman’s then.

Newman smiles and then turns away. The scene of his domination of the group comes back to him and he staggers as he is going down the steps Kramer catches him.

KRAMER

Are you okay man?

NEWMAN

Fine. It must be the Cuggle.

Newman and Kramer walk away. George, Elaine and Seinfeld follow.

ELAINE

Did you just see that? He’s been doing that all night? Is he sleep walking?

SEINFELD

Yes I did notice. He is just mugging for us trying to freak us out.

GEORGE

Well it’s working. Maybe we shouldn’t go.

ELAINE

It’s too late now. We’ll just stay a few moments and beg off.

SEINFELD

Okay it’s a plan.

They walk off together as sinister music plays in the background.

——————

ACT THREE – NEWMAN’S REVENGE

INT – OUTSIDE NEWMAN’S APT. NYC – EVENING

Everyone is standing outside of the door as Newman opens the door and then turns to them.

NEWMAN

Please a moment I left some things laying around let me clean up just a bit be right back.

GEORGE

I can just imagine what is going on in there. I don’t know about this.

ELAINE

Come on. You’re the one who said to reciprocate.

SEINFELD

I hate that word it’s like everyone expects you to do something for them like making a deal.

GEORGE

Just to have a drink and then I’m out of there. I can’t believe we’re having drinks at Newman’s apartment. How the mighty have fallen.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – BACK BEDROOM – NYC – EVENING

Newman is turning on all of his devices scrambling back and forth and finally through he opens the door.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM – NYC – EVENING

NEWMAN (ALA GLEASON)

Welcome to my humble abode. Please join me friends.

Kramer in back rushes forward and slides through the tripping falling and landing in the easy chair.

KRAMER

Ah my favorite chair. It’s very comfortable. Want to try.

GEORGE

That’s quite okay. I’ll just stand for a while. Nice pictures Newman!

NEWMAN

Yes my favorite mail carriers each month a different hero.

SEINFELD

I thought you stopped working there.

NEWMAN

Oh you never leave to postal service. It’s a lifetime commitment.

SEINFELD (ROLLING HIS EYES)

I see. Sounds like a religion.

NEWMAN

Oh but it is it is. Let me get you some drinks I have a tray here. Elaine? Where is she? Drinks.

ELAINE

I thought I would check out your kitchen. Very clean. Good for you Newman. Interesting. Didn’t know you were a nerd. What’s back here?

NEWMAN

Nothing to concern you.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARMENT KITCHEN – NYC – EVENING

Newman rushes to the kitchen squeezing past Elaine to shut the bedroom door. Elaine meanwhile returns to the living room.

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT LIVING ROOM – NYC – EVENING

NEWMAN (FROM THE KITCHEN)

Drinks are coming right up. What a treat. My special blend.

ELAINE (IN A WHISPER)

You should have seen. Computers. Test tubes. Wires and pipes.

SEINFELD

Test tubes? Now this is getting serious. What do you think he has cooking.

ELAINE

I don’t know but I flipped a few switches to see what was what. You know me I’m tactilely curious.

KRAMER

Tactilely curious? I like that.

ELAINE (HOLDING A SMALL BOOK)

I also took this.

SEINFELD

Interesting. You pushed these buttons?

ELAINE

Yes just those

SEINFELD

This changes everything.

Newman walks in carrying a drink tray each takes a drink. Newman very carefully sets aside a drink for himself.

SEINFELD

A toast then to Newman a greater friend hath no man.

ALL

To Newman!

They all raise their glasses and drink. Newman gets a glazed look in his eyes.

KRAMER

You know I missed my calling. I filled in one day and no one knew.

GEORGE

And how did that work out…

INT – NEWMAN’S APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM – EVENING – MIST

NEWMAN (OC)

What have I done these are my friends and soon they will suffer a horrible fate. They were being kind to me. I really felt like we were bonding. Oh no I can’t stop it now either. I must go through with it.

SEINFELD (LOUDLY)

Newman!

NEWMAN

Feeling strange about now Seinfeld?

SEINFELD

Am I? Nope feel fine. How about you George?

GEORGE

Couldn’t be better.

Newman sways and is becoming rigid.

NEWMAN (TURNING TO ELAINE)

What did you do?

ELAINE

Oh nothing just flipped a few switches and turned a couple of buttons.

Newman gets a look of horror on his face and then stiffens completely.

SEINFELD

So you planned to do us in make us your slaves but now the tables are turned. What shall we do with him?

GEORGE

Make him walk off a bridge for all I care. I told you we should never have trusted him. What does the book say.

SEINFELD

It says here that the subject Newman will obey any and all commands completely for a period of eight hours and then have no memory of those eight hours.

KRAMER

We could send him out pimping. I have a hat he could wear.

ELAINE

You would.

GEORGE

Wait a minute I have an idea. You know that mail he brags about never delivering? What if we make him deliver it now in the middle of the night

SEINFELD

I like it. I like it.

KRAMER

Sounds like poetic justice to me. Let’s do it.

SEINFELD

Newman show us the undelivered mail.

Newman walks over zombie like to a closet where five postal bags are filled with mail.

ELAINE

Can I try to command him?

SEINFELD

Sure happy commanding.

ELAINE

Take all of this mail and deliver it to the last letter to their rightful owners and finish before the night is through. Hurry you have no time to waste.

Newman grabs the five bags of mail struggles to leave the door and then is gone.

GEORGE

He’ll have no memory of this right?

SEINFELD

That’s what it says

GEORGE

Good enough for me. I’m out of here.

SEINFELD

Meet me tomorrow for breakfast

KRAMER

Breakfast it is.

They exit Newman’s apartment.

ACT FOUR – NEWMAN’S REVENGE

INT – LUNCHEONETTE – NYC – MORNING

Elaine, George, Kramer and Seinfeld are sitting at the table. Mail is littered covering their table. As we look around a similar scene is taking place at the other tables with people bewilderingly opening letters some as long as five years ago.

GEORGE

Look at this season tickets for 2006. Remember I was all mad at Steinbrenner for not giving me tickets. He kept razzing me all the time about not showing up and throwing good money after bad.

KRAMER

I won the Publisher’s Clearing House in 2005. I’m rich but where’s my money?

ELAINE

Love letters from Puddy. I thought he didn’t care was too self involved.

SEINFELD

I had a movie offer from Steven Spielberg from 2004 for a spin off of ET’s club dates.

ELAINE

Here he comes.

Newman walks in head low hiding his face.

SEINFELD

Newman!

NEWMAN

Seinfeld! I sense your evil hand in all of this. The last thing I remember were having dinner and then this morning I woke up and all my mail is gone. I walk around and everyone is reading piles of mail all around me. If anyone were to find out…

GEORGE

Don’t worry Newman we’re your friends. How could you do this to people? Look at them they are crying pulling their hair. It’s terrible. Although I could really do without these invitations that I never received.

ELAINE

You get the good with the bad. Think of it this way Newman. You can’t mess with the mail.

SEINFELD

The mail always goes through no matter what. It’s a miracle.

NEWMAN

I don’t know about a miracle but I’ll be watching you Seinfeld.

SEINFELD

Go right ahead watch away.

Newman starts to leave and just then Kramer jumps up.

KRAMER

It’s him. He did it. He delivered your mail late to you.

People in the luncheonette turn around as Newman tries to hurry out the exit but there is an old man with a cane twirling it in the way.

PATRON ONE

I remember him he used to be our mailman.

PATRON TWO

Yes he was never on time. I always thought there was something funny about him.

PATRON THREE

Let’s get him.

Newman breaks past the old man and the entire luncheonette including waitresses and cooks chase him down the street while Seinfeld and Company remain seated.

SEINFELD

It’s too bad really but it had to happen.

GEORGE (SHAKES HIS HEAD)

Had to happen.

ELAINE

Well you know Kramer you could have gone easier on him.

KRAMER

Hey I could have been rich. Tough love is what that boy needs.

SEINFELD

Tough love indeed

ELAINE

There is nothing we could do. Well what now?

GEORGE

Our orders are waiting over there. Let’s eat.

SEINFELD

That’s always a good idea.

A Thousand Million Years

Posted in inspiration, short stories at 9:20 am by admin

It is early evening and they have finished clearing the table and cleaning up after dinner. They move outside and sit in their accustomed places next to each other on the couch watching the hills aglow with the coming sunset in the distance the ocean shimmering with sapphire green beauty. The light at the end of the day was soft and gentle casting rims of sparkling brilliance on the edges of everything a border to the sunset a frame to the evening yet to come. As the sun draws nearer the horizon they hold hands unspoken love on a holiday passes between them. Quickly the sun sets bursting now oranges, yellows, reds soon turning into magentas, purples and finally indigo before the first star appears. Soon more follow and the night is full upon them. The weather is mild. It is always so although now a cool breeze blows as he runs in to get her sweater and a light coat for himself. They linger for a while and turn to go inside when a star appears golden yellow pulsing where nothing had been before. It is the birth of a star something they’ve seen countless times before only this time something is different and then he remembers.

“That’s it,” He tells her.

“It? You were expecting this?”

“Don’t you remember? I told you I would love you for a thousand million years and you asked me how would I know when a thousand million years would be up” He said.

“Yes,” She answered, “You said a golden star would appear where none did before. How about that after all this time? Seems like only yesterday,” She said and they both laughed. “What happens now?” She asks.

“Good question you know I really never had time to …,” He starts to say and then both are laughing again.

“I guess it doesn’t matter,” She says.

“No it never really did,” He tells her holding her hand as they walk inside for the night. In the distance a song is playing as it always does when they go back inside.

I can see through you

You can see through me

One by one the stars they do appear

And you and I grow close so near

There are many ways of love

Coming from heaven above

In a fairy fountain meadow filled with miles and miles of clay

We’ll spend all day, for a thousand million years.

What to do with the banks?

Posted in Economy at 11:05 am by admin

The question is constantly posed. What are we going to do with the banks? Let’s start out getting beneath the surface of this problem and shining the light of truth upon it. Okay first of all why are there banks in the first place? The quick answer is that banks help to finance the economy providing money in the short and long term for folks who are building a business or a life. Then we pay back the banks with interest which is how they make their money. Then there is the other reason for banks and that is so that we can place our money there for safekeeping instead of hiding it under the mattress which by now everyone has figured out that this is the first place a thief is going to look for it. For us placing our money in a bank used to mean making interest on that money in a sense we were partnering with the banks to make money. The bank loves to make money from our money. They lend it out and make their own investments and so the economy rolls on. What happened to this paradigm? Why isn’t it working anymore?

First of all the banks and their officers decided at some point that they were no longer investing our money but instead that it was their money to do with as they pleased. Because of this they thought they could gamble get around the rules and make new ones all for the sole purpose of enriching not their investors but their own pockets. This is why these bank officers and CEO’s of the large investment corporations take such huge bonuses. They think that here is all this money that waiting to be gobbled up and why not dip in for a little bit of that cash? After all there is so much of it no one will notice in the long run. Their boards of directors then vote to approve these bonuses knowing full well that they are next in line for the cash grab since after all the guy at the top got his so why not take ours and so on down the line. All the while this is going in the cash reserves are dwindling so that money for the actual operations of the bank and investment companies starts to run out meaning that everyone who wasn’t in on the cash out was left out of luck.

Now seeing the money running dry these same CEO’s and boards of directors, investment managers, et.al. say uh oh we’re in trouble and then they come to the government saying we can’t operate our business anymore see no money and if we have no money then there won’t be any money to lend of invest so too bad the economy goes in the tank. Give us more money they say otherwise doom. The people who they can’t pay they just fire because let’s face it we’ve all been there; that is the corporate way.

What do we do about the consciousness of entitlement that makes these corporate bankers, managers, investment board of directors think that they are entitled to our money? We prosecute them, take their money, and make an example of as many as we can find to put away for as long as we can. Isn’t that what we do with someone who embezzles money from their company, or steals from those same banks, or even robs a grocery store. The same principle has to apply and it has to apply directly now.

Those who are fighting to keep the “capitalist game” going are fighting for this entitlement for those that are able to steal the money. These bankers and investment people are crooks just as low and mean as someone who would rob a little old lady of her purse because you know what there are several little old ladies out their who lost their purse, their homes and their life savings.

No mercy for these bankers no way no how.

The Promised Land

Posted in Jazz, Kabbalah, guitar, inspiration, judaism, torah at 4:26 pm by admin

One day I met a traveler it was late afternoon
He asked directions on the road of life
I told him it was just around the bend it was easy to get there,
he asked should he turn to the left or turn to the right

I told him not to listen to the salesman on the left
No matter what he tries to tell you
Even if he says its much shorter that way
You’ll end up traveling for a lifetime come back here again one day.

So listen carefully now to what I say
There’s gonna be some folks who’ll need your help along the way
Make sure you do everything in their power to help you get going
You’re not far from knowing the road is straight ahead singing,

Take my hand I will take you there
To the Promised Land
We will share all our good times together
No more cloudy weather I can hear the garden calling

Love thy neighbor as thyself
Always keep this in mind
I used to be just like you but I came back one more time
to help you find your way find your way singing

Take my hand I will take you there
To the Promised Land
We will share all our good times together
No more cloudy weather I can hear the garden calling

The more that we can give of ourselves
The more the light will appear
Always be kind yes the time is near
There’s just one more thing let go of your fear

Take my hand I will take you there
To the Promised Land
We will share all our good times together
No more cloudy weather I can hear the garden calling

Angelic lights

Posted in Jazz, Kabbalah, Music, Poetry, Songs, new age, torah at 1:39 pm by admin

There an angel did appear
Surprising me to come so near
Sent from heaven by the light
Almost I did not see this wondrous sight.

The words silent spoken from the heart
Where gentle spirits live to play their part.
Yes to give thanks for such a thing
So natural like dancing in the spring.

Always to be with me now to feel the glow
With praises always above my thoughts will flow
And time has stopped in such a moment now
No reasons to wonder whether why or how.

It is enough just to be
To run and soar setting free
The joy that lives inside of you
For this is where all love becomes true.

A moment or two to become

Posted in Kabbalah, Poetry, Quantum Reality, Thought Into Form - Amazon.com, inspiration, new age, new thought, self help, torah at 7:37 am by admin

Think about where you are in this moment and this is where we will begin. If you are caught up in climbing a difficult mountain don’t worry. The next step takes you all the way to the top. Perhaps you are walking along a deserted shore. Spin around in a circle and be exactly where you need to be. Life becomes about taking the steps necessary to awaken and arrive at your destination in the blink of an eye as if you were meant to be there all along. This journey today is about the sudden awareness of the totality of your being all at once recognized and grooved to the point where you are getting it continuously; the idea of a unified awareness.

Here are some images to take with you now in this wake up call to consciousness along the way.

The forest ended suddenly, the line of trees now receding into the distance as she walked through a narrow path with tall grass on either side. Every once in a while butterflies would appear and disappear barely able to contain their joy at being in such a place where the abundance of flowers overwhelmed the senses. The path gradually grew wider until it became a meadow at first and then a large open plain. In the distance snow capped mountains framed the horizon offering a fine contrast to the warmth of the day and gentle breezes that coursed through her hair. She laughed and spun around dancing. She was where she wanted to be and this was enough for her.

Your thoughts will move everywhere that you direct them to. This is something that has been known since before even our conception of time. Where we think there we travel. The opposite is also true. Your thoughts trap you if you let them, which is why every exercise of awareness also has to be one of letting go of the status quo in order to experience the world to come. In Kabbalah the ‘world to come’ refers to an after life on the surface that is. In truth this ‘world to come’ represents exactly the very next moment and all such moments that are derived simply from our intention to make it so and our connection to the unified awareness that always supports all of our efforts.

Enjoy another series of images that illustrate this concept.

Two sages walked down the road praying for rain in a land long dry from months of drought. They met a small child who asked what they were doing. The two sages explained about the rain, the creator and why they needed to pray. The child thought about this for a few moments as the sages moved on their way. When they turned back it was raining where the child was jumping and dancing in the puddles that were suddenly formed. It was still dry over their heads. They waved to the child and as they did so the rain also fell upon the heads of the sages and all the land felt the relief of the drought.

Believe as a child or have your belief become as a child. When this happens there is no delay between what you ask for and what you receive. It becomes the same, which after all is how it was always meant to be.

Begin in this moment all that you are.
Stay close to this vision near or far
Let go of all that seems to be
Become everything your child’s heart can see.

Garden Passages – Full Text

Posted in Hebrew, Judaica, Kabbalah, mysticism, short stories, torah at 12:00 pm by admin

For a moment Levi stood transfixed by the scene. All thought left him. Gentle golden light streamed everywhere. He looked at his hands and the rays of effulgence were passing through him as well. The green surface upon which he now suddenly began walking upon could have been grass but all things here were seen in a transparency of perception.

He wondered briefly how it was possible to even stand or walk in such a place even as he moved forward in spite of the paradox this presented. In the distance a tree of such immense proportions loomed steadily closer. It’s branches reached into the heavens and as he pondered this he chanced to look below and saw that the roots formed a network of vines passing through the clouds entering the earth and then wrapping itself around the earth like a vast neural network of unfathomable density and complexity.

As he walked the sense of solidity became enhanced almost as if once he grew acclimated to the porous nature of the substance he trod upon it became more real for him. The Tree now took up the entire horizon.

The spaces that were made by its arching branches seemed to contain portals to others worlds, times and places. He heard singing now as the pathway became a series of corridors leading endlessly beyond interconnected intricately by stretches of heavens filled with stars whose light was filtered by many veils. Two men were having a discussion in an area cleared of green in a circle that only revolved when you looked at it. If you were the reach for the edge of that circle four doors would appear.

Each door had a Hebrew letter engraved upon it and an angel with their chariot waited guiding the way through. He wanted to hear what they were speaking about but also did not want to disturb them. In an instant there he was sitting next to the two men a bit disconcerted by this sudden change in perspective.

“Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it. Just remember to look before you leap,” The one said smiling disappearing suddenly and then returning just as fast.

“What was that?” Levi asked the other.

“That was Eliyahu. Every time there is a mitzvah he is there to witness it. We take turns every few hundred years or so,” The man smiled as he was working on some sandals.

“You are…,”He asked.

“Moshe. Yes of course I look familiar. Every Jew knows me from Sinai. It is good to see you, B”H for the miracle of this meeting,” Moshe said as Eliyahu returned.

“How was it?” Moshe asked.

“You have to ask,” Eliyahu said jokingly. “It was of course wonderful. Another Jew has decided to put on the tefillin. Ha Kodesh Baruchu is pleased of course.”

“Yes,” Moshe said. “I thought it was something like that,” Moshe turned to him as he shook Eliyahu’s hand. “We were just discussing the living letters and their connections with creation.

Ezek: 36: 9 ‘For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown;’

“The secret of creation is that all proceeds according to the permutations of these living letters. Hashem Elokim is continually with you residing within moving as you move speaking as you speak and growing as you grow,” Eliyahu remarked motioning for him to sit and join them.

“Yes the land that is sown and tilled is the garden of your consciousness which is stirred as you study Torah. This is why you join us today,” Moshe said his form becoming transparent.

“Don’t be alarmed Levi. Look at your own form or lack thereof,” Moshe assured him. You have to expect that here. The nullification of form simply means we are residing more and more with Ha Kodesh Baruchu.”

Job: 14:2 “He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.”

“It should not surprise you that those of us who seek on high should be successful and when we are then we are not, understand?” Eliyahu asked.

“Yes I think I am beginning to. Perhaps the principle is the same as Hashem in his creation i.e. something out of nothing,” Levi pondered.

“Excellent, let me explain further,” Eliyahu said.
Levi marveled at this conversation he was having with Eliyahu and Moshe here in Gan Eden. He waited for Eliyahu’s exposition of “something out of nothing,” a divine principle of creation. The air was full of golden speckles brilliant twisting turning sparks that assumed shapes as he peered closer.

“What are these wondrous beings?” He asked seeing the forms of men and women clothed in golden robes soaring through a portal above.

“They are the members of the holy assembly, torah scholars, sages, righteous ones, those whose lives were filled with mitzvos while they walked the earth. Three times a day they convene to absorb the three daily prayers. They are the proof that what happens below also has its counterpart above,” Moshe answered before finishing repairing his sandals and then disappearing altogether.

“Don’t be concerned he’ll be back. He goes to meet with Moshiach to plan the redemption and the unification of the name. Now where was I,” Elijah said as Levi relaxed and grew more accustomed to the fantastic events around him.

“You were taking about “something out of nothing,” Levi reminded him.

“Oh yes. Consider the following verse by Yishayahu,” Elijah then spoke the verse out loud.

Isaiah 41: 4 “Who hath wrought and done it? He that called the generations from the beginning. I, the LORD, who am the first, and with the last am the same.”

“Ha Kodesh Barachu is within everything. The is no where that he may not be found and yet all we have is a feeling for the most part that he is there. Moshe who has spoken with him directly will attest to his awesome and fearful nature. I have known him as well and yet neither Moshe nor I may encompass his being. That’s why we say we know and do not know. Oops excuse me another mitzvah,” Elijah said fading and then disappearing completely.

As Levi pondered these things he felt himself moving away. He did not want to leave this place. There was so much to learn. He recited the prayers before the SHMA and then the SHMA itself. It steadied him and he stopped moving. Elijah once again came into view only this time a distance away. He waved to Levi who then concentrated on saying the Amidah prayers. As he davened he found he could walk back and join Elijah. When he reached the Alenu prayer he once again sat with Elijah.

“Very good Levi! What a mitzah I just witnessed. I’ll have to tell you about it sometime. I see you are getting to know your way around. I thought we lost you for a moment there. It would have been okay too because here in Gan Eden it is all good. I was thinking about our discussion and I remember saying in the introduction to the Tikkunei Zohar,

“And You are He Who binds them together and unites them…; and apart from You there is no unity among those [attributes] above….,”

“I was speaking there about the sephiroth and their attributes. There is a unity of purpose and design that can never be denied. It is inherent by definition within and through everything,” Elijah paused to give thanks as the holy assembly once again passed by.

“We can apply this to Torah as well. Anywhere we happen to be in Torah is the center of our universe indeed of our complete continuum since Hashem is always with us a doorway is always open through the infinite,” Levi said not quite understanding at first and then as his words reverberated above the meanings became clearer. At that moment of realization he heard a ringing. Elijah picked up what looked like a cell phone.

“It’s Moshe. He says to come on over and meet the Moshiach. I have to go. It’s Chabad wedding below. Lot’s of simcha’s to kvel over. We’ll talk soon no?” Elijah faded and was gone.
The area immediately around Levi began to swirl obscuring his vision. There in Gan Eden transformations were taking place as the souls of the righteous were rising level by level endlessly within Ha Kodesh Barachu. It was a compelling sight filled with soaring brilliance and revelation very much equal to Ezekiel’s vision. He almost became enveloped in the flow but then remembered the summons by Moshe and thought to himself, now what.

The floor beneath was becoming transparent. He had the sensation of falling briefly and then rising quickly and flowing through one of the portals formed by the latticework of branches of the Tree. Then Levi found himself walking on desert sand directly on to a vast oasis of palm trees and clear sparkling pools. The landscape was arranged in a dizzying array of terraces rising past the field of his vision. A young man in a white robe carrying a shepherd’s staff approached him smiling.

“I see you made it. Good for you,” The boy said.

“Moshe?” Levi asked.

“Yes and no but we’ll get to that later. Don’t mind the form. As you will find out these things are relative around here. Please come and rest with me after your journey. Let me offer you the hospitality of this abode,” Moshe motioned for him to ascend to a level overlooking the entire oasis.

“What is this place?” Levi asked.

“Gan Eden still but on the level of Malkuth of Yetzirah. The pools give it away. We were just speaking from Malkuth of Briah. I know it can get confusing but only for a moment,” Moshe told him.

“Where is Moshiach? I thought…,” Levi began.

“Oh right here slightly to my left. Let me move,” Moshe said his form fading blending somehow into an older version of himself yet somehow different.

“I don’t understand. Are you Moshiach?” Levi asked as the form in front of him wavered and then coalesced before him.

“It is a bit more complicated than that. Listen,” Moshiach said.

‘I am sleeping but my heart is awake.’- Song of Songs 5:2

‘I shall pour forth my spirit upon all flesh.’ – Joel 3:1

‘I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will place within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

I will place My spirit within you.’- Ezekiel 36:24-27

“I don’t understand,” Levi said as the form of Moshiach changed back to Moshe as a boy. Elijah appeared beside him as sparks of light rose from the various pools and ascended on high.

“That my dear Levi is what happens to mitzvos below gathering up the sparks of holiness to return to Hashem and the unity above. Well it was a busy day but now its Monday, a slow day for mitzvos. I was thinking of having a Mitzvah Monday and announcing it to the world maybe even on Youtube? I see you’ve met the Moshiach,” Elijah said standing and stretching. “You have questions?”

“Of course. First what is he waiting for? How come he hasn’t come when we so desperately need him? Levi asked now walking with Elijah and Moshe.

“I understand your longing but that isn’t enough. Do you see those sparks rising above each one separate but all rising together?” Elijah asked.

“Yes the mitzvos redeem these sparks so they may ascend,” Levi answered.

“You see them as sparks and yet when you view the sun’s rays the light is continuous right?” Elijah asked again as Levi nodded yes. “When there is one continuously flow of mitzvos then you will all be able to have the nachas of seeing the Moshiach with you always. There is no deed too small, no kindness insignificant and certainly every favor you do for another is returned in abundance on high.”

“But how can such a thing take place it is an enormous thing to ask?” Levi pondered out loud.

“One mitzvah at a time. Imagine if you will an entire country that assumes this as their national anthem. Herein lies the destiny of Israel spoken of long ago,” Elijah spoke as these shining words appeared.

‘They shall build for Me a sanctuary and I shall dwell amongst them.’
Exodus 25:8
‘It shall come to pass in the last days, that the mount of the house of G-d shall be established atop the mountains, and be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall stream to it.’ Isaiah 2:2

“I understand I think but what can I do?” Levi asked and heard these shining words within.

For Moshiach is not merely the reward for our fulfillment of the mitzvos, but their result: when a person does a mitzvah, he draws down a flow of divine light into the world, to be suffused and integrated into the material reality…
–Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (Tanya, Chapters 36 & 37)

“Do mitzvos,” Both Elijah and Moshe said before fading away. The entire scene began to disappear and for a moment there was nothing and then he awoke under a tree next to a country road.

How strange he thought. He had been traveling along with his donkey thinking about the following verse:

Ezekiel 31: 8 ‘The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the cypress-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty.’

What had happened? How did he get here? He did not remember stopping or falling asleep. Strange indeed because he felt like something wonderful had just happened. He couldn’t remember anything.

A traveler riding on a cart was passing in front of him when all of a sudden a cart wheel broke. It was a man frail bent over with age who slowly climbed down off the cart. He looked at the cart raised his hands to heaven and then sat down despondently in the middle of the road. Levi rushed to his side.

“Please let me help you. Rest under the trees here and share a cool drink with me. Don’t worry about your cart I can fix your wheel while you are eating,” Levi said feeling a sense of familiarity about their meeting. “Do I know you?” He asked.

The old man replied, “Oh I’ve traveled many years so yes we may have crossed paths before. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality,” The old man said.

“Of course I…, ”Levi began to say and then he remembered everything about being in the Garden of Eden. This old man before him was none other than Elijah. He looked at Levi now with a twinkle in his eyes as Levi reset the wheel and helped him back on to the cart.

“Thank you Elijah for helping me to remember,” He told Elijah.
“No thank you Levi for allowing me to witness another mitzah,” Elijah said laughing and riding away.

Levi packed up his belonging and began walking along the road thinking, ‘where to next?” The answer came quickly, ‘on to another mitzvah.’

Healing meditation

Posted in Kabbalah, mysticism, torah at 12:07 pm by admin

The following is a meditation specifically for kidney stones or any other kinds of blockages within the body. It also refers tangentially to spiritual blockages. Reading this orients your intention and opens you to the divine healing that is ever present.

Everything is moving easily now flowing perfectly along to its intended destination. There is a smooth series of subtle openings that ease this progress steadily and surely and irrevocably raised to the highest level of unfoldment. This holds true in body and mind, as well as heart and soul. If there is anything that we are holding on to we release it completely without regret and experience a sense of becoming in the process going forward. The vessels open and relax and allow the light to spread intentionally and directionally perfect. All of this takes place within the framework of the body yes but also within the outward ethereal realms where the substance of things to come issue forth from. These openings are progressive relaxations of muscle and surrounding tissues returning to a sense of harmony and well being within.

Breathing becomes deeper as a result of this intention and this further moves along the easing process whereby what is being held on to is now released completely and is let go. There is no sense of effort in any of this allowing mind to reach its own state of fulfillment through the awareness of the reactions of the enclosing forms.

The water helps to maintain the fluid nature of the body that is now connected in a network of freely circulating fluid moving all obstructions to the side or dissipating them in their own way that goes beyond what we may think about them. There is both an expansion and a return to the natural form. This takes place instantaneously as well as continuously throughout this day making a harmonious place within.

All of these changes are promoted first by the consciousness of the change within and then radiating outwards covering an expanse both immense in spatial as well as spiritual dimensions. This process in its initial inception may be known as the reporting of the field as it becomes within and without the shape of its container. Its container is the intention that focuses these thoughts in the directions into which they may become most accustomed to as in a calm relaxed state of perfect attention.

It is a curious phenomena that prior to the birth of anything there is at the culmination or gestation process a marked period however long or short of intensified holding on so that in effect at the end where birth takes place the holding on transforms itself entirely into a period of equally intense letting go. Plus those thoughts that do now appear are harbingers of the birthing coming about as signals to consciousness in general that it is indeed time to let go completely in order that the next level may live and thrive in their existence.

Consider this then as stage one of letting go. We will now go deeper and see where this takes us. To begin with deeper in this case means both inward and outward. The outward sense of consciousness is its unique connection to all of those thoughts everywhere. In order to narrow the field somewhat to our specific interests we are visualizing thoughts that have come and go imagining their linkages in a favorable manner in order to free up the trapped energy or klippoth of energy. This is accomplished in the following manner.

Here we must rely on the gentle realm of suggestion. We may speak in terms of that which is encompassing and that which is encompassed round about. This is most definitely the spiritual realm and it has the maximum effect on the body since it is intimately tied to the body in every way.

Now there must be persistence of effort along equal lines of inquiry. This means that thoughts are directly and intentionally linked together both in minutiae and in the greater universal macro sphere. Everything you hear and all that you see may be thought of not as mere sensory impressions in and out meaningless in their own way but rather as energy for the fusion of the creator aligned thought forms.

This brings us to the force or power behind all of this, which is of course Hashem. That which we refer to as Hashem is the all abiding presence of the principle of divine reflection known otherwise in many descriptions including, ‘as above so below,’ ‘man created in the image of Elohim,’ and similar attempts to describe the unknown. All of these descriptions are pointers to the real thing that will never be totally understood. And yet still these descriptions serve a very important function. It is to direct our thoughts with the power and imagination that we have been born with to utilize to produce the divine connection. We need to be there. It is that simple.

Repetition brings forth added dimensions to the discovery within and without. Imagine that your thoughts take the shape of an ethereal mold that is simply waiting for the influx of creator flow or life-force in order to vitiate the connections causing the fulfillment of those potentials in reality constructs. The very word fulfillment gives a hint as to what is taking place here. Quite simply it is to be filled to fullness or in essence overflowing. When there is this overflow it subsequently promotes all kinds of good aspects including the release of that which it has been holding on to.

The spiritual essence behind this sort of promotion is in the nature of a deep breath that nature sometimes takes in the springtime where everything seems to stand still or is in movement rejoicing in the moments just for themselves. This is also akin to waterfalls that cascade endlessly below splashing their abundance creating pools of massive energy that quickly turns into the currents that run sidewise down the mountain slopes.

All throughout this letting go there is the sense of a wind that is at your back. This wind is the connection of Hashem that flows through all things including these inspirations that occur in these moments of intentional reflection.

Two things make it easier for the water to flow. One is the widening of the channel and two is the dissipation of the granules in the water that impede the flow. It is to this dissipation specifically that we will now turn.

The granules in the current may be compared to thoughts that do not line up correctly within the harmony of the intention being visualized. We could call these Yetzer Hara brought upon by a number of conscious or subconscious influences. Still no matter what they are called there is in place a definite method for their dissipation both in reducing their effects and in completely assimilating the decreased granules so that either they are passed or put to use. Most of the time they will be passed becoming a part in general of those concepts that will never see the light of day again. These granules may break apart into pieces small enough to pass through the river without impeding the flows or they may completely be erased particle by particle from within with a laser beam like spiritual light. This light operates to diminish these granules as a result of the operation of the spiritual letting go that works from within this time to release the bonds that bind to make them into the very tiniest grains of sand like substance. Once reduced or moderated in this manner these sand like substances pass into oblivion and indeed entirely out of the system. Now in addition to these actions taking place within there are also outwards effects brought about through dissolving agents. These dissolving agents become so in direct response to their application. They are transformed into dissolving agents by meditating upon the holy name Hashem. In this way we ensure that there is spiritualization all along the way of the letting go of any blockages that may be present however they may appear.

Persistent effort makes everything possible because without it the template for expression is diminished even though a good start has been promoted. There is a certain point at which the overflow is enough to be self-sustaining but until that point efforts must intentionally be made.

In order to loosen blockages imagine similar situations to provide corollary examples. Imagine the clouds disappearing before you. Imagine the water on the windshield drying with the wind. Imagine the natural healing that takes place within you. Wounds close up they dissipate they transform and new skin appears. The same is true in any kind of healing. Whatever else it may be when there is a blockage it is a precursor to transformation and that is where the mind body laser like works ceaselessly to reduce and remove these blockages at once and continuously thereafter.

This process is grounded in the now taking place immediately. Time sense is not necessary here because all it takes is the appearance of the thing itself and then time is declared irrelevant once and for all.

When the mind queries or seeks answers within it doesn’t stop at the confines of mere experiential data although that is certainty a good place to begin. It also recognizes that the entire universe is responding to its call via the mechanism of divine connection. Expectation is the key component throughout. It is the pro forma groundwork happening in the moment to setup every answer that comes in response to any and all queries in whatever manner they have been asked or offered.

Visions Go On Forever (Opus)

Visions Go On Forever (Opus)

Look to the west where the hills flow past sunset
Golden glows fill the valley where two rivers once met
And how the shadows deepen just before the dusk falls
As the willows start weeping hear the nightingale’s calls.

A whisper is heard now almost like the wind
Angels open heaven’s doors prayers to ascend.
Transparent veils fade away the holiness appears
Yes it is always there in the moments and the years.

Rise up they say and behold oh so much more
Let go of earth bound cares fly and then soar
Move within there as you find and listen
Reside only where there is true intuition.

Everywhere you look you will see
The infinite nature of what it is to be
It cannot escape you so don’t run away
All while it has been seeking you even here today.

Oh the moonlight so soft and enchanting
Sparkles along a brook sloping and slanting
Quick rushes of water splishes and pops
Before reaching the falls where everything drops.

The night creatures gather their clitter and patter
To discuss the almighty and the things that matter
A branch falls slowly unto a pile of leaves
Startled a sleeping bird tenses then breathes.

A narrow pathway takes you from the sound of the water
Stones on either side frame the way all of them in order.
Voices in the distance and then further along you are there.
Inside of an apple orchard are sages, a ladder and a stair.

Which way is best they ask each other with a smile
To travel straight up like Jacob wrestling each mile
Or to hold on while climbing stopping to see the sights?
One answers that each way leads above to the lights.

She tells them that love is both ladder and stair
Climbing rung by rung or step by step takes you where
The secrets of Torah are spoken like the rain
Falling filling fertile ground knowing full of gain.

Entering closer you feel what you see.
Your feet start to ascent quick as can be.
Soon you are floating already there
For Hashem surrounds you everywhere.

Inside a corridor wide
Questions and answers reside
They are the very same thing
Wow you are wondering.

It isn’t such a stretch
All this wisdom without a catch
So this is how it is meant to be
To flow with Hashem in all you see.
