After having written a book and blogged for nearly four years now, and found myself now to be much preoccupied with the reality of living with the world in its present precarious state, I really wonder how much more I have to say here. At what point has one proved their thesis on a blog such as mine? The state of our world is nearly perfectly aligned with many ancient prophecies. It’s now a matter of living through the transitions as they come, and they are already present in various incarnations. 2012 doesn’t have to come and go to know we are in for some big changes.
Personally life has not gotten easier; I know many may feel the same way. Economic hardship has hit us all one way or another. It’s been useful to find so much support in terms of raising consciousness, because at the same time, the world is sure making it more challenging to overcome. At least we know we are not alone, and I have great appreciation for all the great thinkers and writers I have met online.
But the actual living through it, in a nutshell, is what Surfing the Tao is all about. Like I’ve said many times, if I had perfected the living of this philosophy myself, I wouldn’t be here anymore to write about it. I go through my own daily ups and downs, and am grateful for the support of friends and family – believe me. I couldn’t do it all without them. You know who you are. 
I hate to admit that Twitter is about all I have time for these days – that 140 character limit makes it easy for me to get a few headlines and thoughts out, without the hours spent writing, editing, and searching links. Still, I go days without signing in even there. It’s unfortunate, I know. But there it is.
I am discovering what it means to grow vegetables in Hawaii and battle the bugs. And it’s hard to discover that some of your dear chickens are roosters, instead of the egg-layers you signed up for. It’s a learning curve, to be sure, and I’m grateful for the lessons – I also recognize these are important lessons that deserve my time right now, and along with all the other normal daily dilemmas, the schedule is simply overbooked.
The job situation is too much to even write about. It’s agonizing on so many levels, and not just for me, but for people close to me as well. Many of us are discovering how time seems much, much shorter than it used to; the days flash by and our creative projects languish. If there’s not a quickening currently afoot, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.
Meanwhile I am still somewhat languidly watching the headlines, and not being surprised at anything. We are living in the times I was warned about many times over. Behind the scenes, the p-t-b are busy. Frankly I’m even a little bored by it. Yes, our food is contaminated. Our drug and oil industries are corrupt. Politicians are not who they claim to be. Powerful control mechanisms, such as mind and weather control, are no longer only the realm of conspiracy theorists. Wars and catastrophic earth changes loom on the horizon. Bizarre synchronicities abound. The eschaton is being immanentized. Story at 11. Moving along.
I do sometimes have moments of panic, that I’m not being present enough for those who might need more support during these times. But that doesn’t mean the bad guys have won – far from it. The good guys have already won, but we need to live through it right now. In other words; once you’ve educated yourself on the Truth, step back, cease the panic, and take stock. Love is the only thing that will truly matter in the end. And – til I’m blue in the face – it’s all good.
I, as many others, have years of work behind me, a book even, so I’ve done my part, as best I could. Read my archives. And I’m not disappearing altogether. When more sh-t hits the fan I will be here to comment and advise; that is, if there still is an Internet at that point. But right now, I have to concentrate on my family, my livelihood, my own immediate reality. Perhaps it’s what we should all be doing right now. Get up from the computer, take a look around and wonder what you would do if the power went out – permanently. Even if it doesn’t, you would be well-prepared not only for emergencies, but in your own personal development and relationships. At some point we must all realize that the next step takes place within ourselves.
I have had my own set of personal warnings. How about you?

I appreciate your sentiments! Just looking at your sidebar is enough to make me a little paranoid!
Just remember, you are the creator of your reality! Whether it’s career or bugs or p-t-b, it’s not just “all good”–it’s “all you.” You are the fulcrum point of realities being created. You can choose a life of much greater ease! You just have to believe that it’s possible. Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing! I am preaching to the choir here c’mon!
I have my ups and downs as well though, so I appreciate that this expression may come at a time that is not a peak!
In the words of the Starseed Transmissions with Funkmeyer modification!
“Do not concerned with global negativity but
Look to yourself, to your children, to your families and your communities…
There you will find the best news of all -
That the time has come!
THE PLANETARY BEING OF WHICH YOU ARE A PART OF AT LONG LAST
HAS AWAKENED AND THROWN OFF THE BLANET OF HISTORY!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Welcome to the NEW REALITY”
I look forward to sharing this incredible bounty of life on Earth with you in whatever form it comes! Telepathically! Twitter-ly! or simply energetically!
Much love to you and journey well!

Wow that was quick! Thanks for commenting, Otis. My path is unique, and I work to fulfill the mission that will resonate with those I was meant to touch… I appreciate your obvious joy for yes, this is key! There are times though when, as you say, we must look to ourselves, our families and communities, so it is a bit of explanation of my rare appearance around here these days. And for others to understand, we all go through life’s ups and downs, in the end it’s all good, but to prioritize especially now is vital. Blogging is perhaps not so important as inner awareness, or even perhaps growing food, to be blunt.
Yes my sidebar is full of the both fascinating and frightening. It’s what I’m about. I don’t ignore or deny; I absorb and discern. And live, and love.
Angela – these are the thoughts we inevitably arrive at. In the end we begin to repeat ourselves, and when we do this we know we are treading water. I likewise decided to ‘run silent’ last october (as you know). Having moved to Spain 3 months ago I haven’t even had time to read a book! It’s all about living now; getting our physical lives into balanced relationships and getting on with being grounded. I am still fascinated by the news – yet nothing surprises me either. I feel this is a state of having gotten as far as one path can go – time to jump onto another path – breath the air, and realise that yes, it’s all good… it’s all worked out and the Design is implemented: it’s just a matter now of ‘living through it’… being conscious and being focused, and being the bright sparks we are…. smiling when we can, being frustated at times, aching for security or a decent glass of wine – in the end: WE WIN.
Hugs.
Thank you SO MUCH for this comment, Kingsley, it’s very relieving to hear you not only understand, but are doing, or have done, much the same. Hey I didn’t know you’d gone to Spain! Bet that’s quite an adventure.
As I said if there is something to comment on I’m still around; just having to refocus for the time being. It’s nice to still be in touch, wishing you very well in your life and work.
We walk many paths on life’s journey.
Hi there,
Came across your blog from Google search. Nice to meet a fellow spiritual blogger.
I can understand what you’re going through. We go through points where our spirituality changes. Meaning what we once considered spiritual for ourselves is now changing. Perhaps you’re in one of those moments. Gets confusing because we dont what or how its changing.
Still, might get interesting for you.
Cheers,
RoK
Your presence will be missed…I fully understand your poignantly stated reasons and comments about departure. I often feel the same…the fear is gone. I have always made an effort to step away, and live my life as I have needed at any given time…NO ONE can fault you for that. It is, YOUR time here after all! Best wishes, and I hope that the daily strains of life loosen their grip on you somewhat, you have earned it!
Thanks for stopping by and for your supportive words, Todd. I’ll still be around, just not as often, need to find balance. Hope to see you lurking about here and there are time ticks by. Much aloha.
My favorite part of this whole entry, the most impressive and truthful is. It’s All Good! Thank you.
