I am the Cosmos, the Universe, I am the sun and the earth.
And guess what? So are you.

Lately words have been flowing from me like a waterfall, i sit at my desk or computer, text with my good friends, even conversing on facebook, and i end up writing something that is deeper down from inside of me, i use my fingers to type the message or write the letters, but the voice that is telling me every single letter to type, every sentence to phrase and paraphrase, every quotation, abbreviation or emphasis, it comes to my head like air comes to my lungs. I sit down to a pad and a pencil and end up scribbling some configuration of the golden Fibonacci spiral, or some other sacred geometrical design.
Everything i read lately is filled with conspiracy, information, disinformation, deep pontificate inquiry that has suddenly grabbed a hold of so many, such as "what is THIS?", or "what is going on?", it seems like we do not know as much about even ourselves as was previously conceived.
There's no more denying it, we can all feel it, I feel it just as you do, from within me somewhere, this somewhere is the spark to which makes you you and me me, it is something ancient and mystical, something powerful beyond our understanding, In Lak'ech, a Mayan shamanic formal greeting meaning "I am you", we are in this together till the end,
In this Technological and Information era we turn to the news to provide us with the answers, the internet, the daily paper, we pry on the need to obtain knowledge from another person, this comes with desensitization which creates uncertainty and insecurity, we feed from this socio-economic system along with the dependency of material goods and ideology which lies in our comfort zone. Don't you feel comfortable, walking along the streets of downtown, out in the park with your dog, isn't it nice to be alive? Well, I agree, I love living on this planet just as you do, but something very wrong has happened. Do you see, we are not in control anymore, things have gotten out of hand and no one knows what to do anymore.
Do you ever feel scared? Scared of not knowing?
If you are at this point, this is where you need to begin to let go.. to dig inside of your self and pull through your own identity, WHO you are, not what you are or when you are, not your new shoes or new car, not your haircut or your day job, not what movie will be playing at the cinema or which restaurant to go to. None of this matters anymore, you are beginning the path to free yourself from all of this, to see past it.
Being simply over-analytical in this world is one thing, but being blind is another.
"The Truth is not Arbitrary or a Matter of Opinion, but can be Investigated,
 and Those who Earnestly Search for the Truth will Find It. The Truth is
Hidden to the Blind, but he who has the Mental Eye Sees the 
Truth." -Buddha

If you want to seek for the truth, you must find it in yourself, because you are REAL, you are here, and that is the miracle, that is the truth..
We have been kept in cages, and so has our world. But how is it that one can own a tree or an ocean, or a mind?

Now i want to talk a bit about dreams.
Have you been having dreams lately, dreams that feel so real while you are in them, and it is only when you wake when you realize that none of it had actually happened?
I've been having dreams almost every night where i sort of 'wake up' in the dream, i stop myself and observe my surroundings as i do in waking life but i have some kind of sense that it isn't really there, i realize that what is happening is impossible because i had just gotten in bed some time ago, there's no way i can be at the top of a mountain or in space, freely floating in nothing but the clothes on my back, i realize this and i feel something like electricity, the volume gets higher and higher pitched and everything becomes more clear, and still more clear after that, i FEEL the sense in my head, the voice, the spark, it tells me that i can now do what ever i can will myself to do. It feels warm, and safe, like being underwater in a hot spring, i move in a fluid motion, i raise my hand to reach out for what ever it may grab, but then something awful happens.. i wake up.
From what i could tell the brain is actually functioning even more during REM sleep than it is when awake, it is doing what it usually does, only without your inner voice telling it what to do. Your eyes are closed, there is no light to create an image perceived by your physical eyes, but your third eye is wide open.
You see just as you do in waking life, you feel and hear even taste all the same, and perhaps even at a greater level than normal, being extremely sensitive to the objects that you see and feel around you, because they ARE you. But the way i figure it, the conscious and subconscious minds are separate for a reason, and once you begin to mix the two, something won't allow it, something doesn't want your mind to be in this 'other' reality, something is keeping me here. The mind is attuned to this reality just as it is to automatically inhale and exhale, to bend light waves with our eyes and sound waves with our ears.
This 'pre-set' mind to the default paradigm of society and materialism can not be escaped, and it does not want to be.. It doesn't want you to wake up while dreaming, to be in two realities at once.
When i was younger i watched the Matrix trilogy with some understanding, with an acknowledgment of the relationship to the Holy Bible, my favorite part was toward the ending when Neo comes back to life after taking several bullets from the agents, he is killed as his life support flat lines in the real world, but in the Matrix, he stands up, and as he looks around himself he finally SEES it for what it is, not images that appear to be the real world, but he sees the code, he sees the Matrix for the first time as it builds up everything. When the agents unload their clips Neo calmly says "No" as he extends his hand, and all the bullets suddenly halt at once right in front of him, he picks out one of the bullets and curiously tilts his head as he examines it, then they all drop to the ground. This is when he is waking up, not in waking life, not in the real world, but in the dream world.
As i grew older these movies and ideas would mean more and more to me, and i would start to see just how far the rabbit hole goes.

I'll have more to say later,
Thanks for reading, namaste friends.

Thank you ............

there is much more yet to "See"; it unfolds and unfolds and unfolds. Amazing isn't it!? You are very fortunate. It is an honor to meet you. :)

The Masters will stand before you.
You will stand before the Masters.

"The Truth is not arbitrary
or a matter of opinion
but can be investigated

and those who earnestly search for the Truth will find It.

The "Truth" is
 hidden to the blind
(For only) he who has the mental eye "Sees" the 
"Truth"."

The Buddha

no, thank you

for even having never actually spoken a word to you directly, these words are for you, and they are inspired by you.
after i was finished writing this post, which is really nothing more than a series of thoughts and mostly rambling, i was about to delete it, but i decided not to.
One quote that i accidentally left out is
"There is an almost sensual longing for communion with others who have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe."
And i suppose this explains a lot of what i'm feeling, a need to converse with people who can relate to me, who see the world as it is, rather than just what they want it to be.
Maybe this is why i am finding it harder to communicate with my old friends from school, even my own family, as i notice each subtle movement of emotion with their words, they ask me a question like "how are you doing?", and i simply do not know how to respond, so i pull out my ego and figure some clever, expected response to maintain a casual conversation, but what i really want to say is "i don't know.. how is anything?"
it's as if i feel the presence of this mask that i do not wish to use, but i remember that i must.
On this site in the open, my words are free. They are not judged or ridiculed, and are usually taken with a considerable amount of understanding and compassion as they are read by exactly who needs to read them.
So, thank you, friend,
i hope all is well and healthy in your garden of life,
they say that whatever you might be growin', you need to dig it

interesting

//Lately words have been flowing from me like a waterfall, i sit at my desk or computer, text with my good friends, even conversing on facebook, and i end up writing something that is deeper down from inside of me//

This sort of creativity comes in waves for me. Sometimes I am incredibly inspired by whatever it is that is deeper down inside, while at other times I can't even write a coherent sentence. My advice is let it all out when your inspired and don't force it when you're not.

I had a dream about playing Led Zeppelin songs on the ukulele last night, so I don't think that's relevant to your dream discussion haha ...

great advice.
i can understand this friend, at times i can't stop writing or drawing what i see in my head, but at others i don't even want to pick up a pen. but i suppose, everything in this natural world comes in waves, doesn't it?
:)
go with the flow was the first thing i learned, not anyone elses flow, but your own flow, if it comes naturally to you then it's probably right. i used to question my entire 'path' or whatever you may call it, and i still question myself plenty, it's a good practice, but i figure that if these words fall onto paper as i convert them from the voice in my head and in my heart, then they are probably supposed to be written down, for the both of us.
Namaste
