Surfing the Tao

Recently I had the good fortune to come across a copy of Nassim Haramein’s DVD set, “Crossing the Event Horizon.” I would highly recommend a watch to anyone looking for an excellent interpretation of concepts ranging from Unified Field Theory, fractal geometrical realities, and the torque of spacetime, to crop circles, the pyramids, ancient calendars and our place in the universe. Four DVDs span over six hours of material, much of it Nassim’s own entertaining presentation of his brainpopping theories, with some special features worth investigating. His website, The Resonance Project, also contains a lot of his research, papers and articles, a trailer of his DVD and a preview of “The Power of Spin.” You can also join in his monthly teleconference calls.

I give him credit for puzzling together his theories from hard physics, pure brainpowered revelation and no doubt plenty of inspiration from the Ether. His background is unique, and given the state of our current orthodox scientific community, which seems to progress with the speed of a glacier, the new ideas he’s brought into dialogue are refreshing and invigorating. I can only imagine what his theories could bring in terms of changing our reality – from the expansive way we understand creation and our very existence, to how we live our everyday lives. Understandable why he appears on this video which won the One Minute Shift video contest.

The double torus he talks about, based around the tetrahedral and cubeoctahedral geometric structures, is well founded in hard math, and can also be found discussed in terms of sacred geometry. There is a ringing of truth somewhere in my spirit, which may explain why it’s called The Resonance Project. The idea that creation is literally spun around in a sort of double-donut shape around a center vacuum, escaping from the center ‘white’ hole and winding around the outside to be sucked in by the other side’s black hole, simply makes sense in some profound way, particularly the additional torque or spinning motion that he postulates may provide an explanation for the movement of everything from galaxies and subatomic particles, to spacetime itself. This Coriolis Effect resultant of the gravitational and electromagnetic forces at work, when balanced creates a golden spiral or phi ratio. These concepts are finding their way around the noosphere in various forms and via various paths; Richard Merrick wrote a good article about these theories over at Reality Sandwich. The black hole/white hole idea is something I mentioned in my book four years ago, albeit nowhere near this level of thought; somehow it resonated with me (no pun intended), as I imagine it could be related to the ancients’ concepts of reality itself. As Nassim says, it explains why and how the Universe is both expanding and contracting at the same time. It explains where the energy is coming from. In fact it may explain the very meaning of life itself, the existence of the Universe and the enigma of the void of subatomic space. As above, so below.

In the beginning was the Tao. All things issue from it; all things return to it.”

- Tao Te Ching #52

After this new information began to seep in, I started to wonder what implications this would have for consciousness itself, so I wasn’t too surprised to find this radio interview. It’s clear Nassim also can’t help but realize the amazing possibility that consciousness plays an important role in the fundamental structure of spacetime. Kudos to him; though I’m sure it must be why orthodox science is not so quick to accept such new ideas. Unfortunately in orthodox science, genius is often recognized much later, but for those of us already out here on the fringe, it is a very welcome development. I keep thinking about our alignment with the galactic plane on the winter solstice in 2012, which I’ve mentioned here before, the end of the Mayan fourth sun on that date as well as our current place along the precession of the equinoxes: just now beginning to enter the Aquarian age, beginning the Great Cycle anew, and again.

Is the ancients’ concept of the Great Ages perhaps a more complete wisdom than we realize? Could our very state of consciousness be poised to transverse some integral dimensional edge along this Great Donut of Enlightenment? Are we about to enter the Event Horizon?

Nassim Haramein himself said, “”Everything we see in the Universe is the infinity of the energy density of the vacuum in various scales. The biological resolution is the link between the large and the small. You are the event horizon. Instead of seeing yourself as an insignificant little dot that means nothing to the Universe, you start to see yourself as the center of creation. Everyone else is the center of their Universe as well. And thus we are all equal and we’re all one.”

“I believe that the World Wide Web is, as a matter of fact, the noogenesis of the noosphere.” - Ralph Abraham, The Evolutionary Mind (1988)

Lawrence Hagerty wrote in The Spirit of the Internet,“…the Internet is not the noosphere. It is merely an infrastructure that is now available for the noosphere to use.” Hagerty goes on to profess, “I believe that the Internet is serving as just such an attractor, or basin of attraction, drawing the Earth’s most creative minds into a synergistic union out of which a new form of human consciousness can arise from the wells of chaos.“

The noosphere is a term created by Jesuit priest/radical thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, whose ideas were frankly force-fed to me in college in the eighties (I happened to attend a Jesuit university where he was practically worshiped as a god). For that reason perhaps I wrongly assumed his teachings were more widespread than they actually were at the time. But I find no uncertain irony that his ideas continue to haunt my own delightfully synchronous journey towards Singularity.

Not the technological singularity of Ray Kurzweil; I’m talking more about what’s happening over at Reality Sandwich, and other important, alternative think tanks and blogs of our time. “New science” is termed thusly because, reminiscent of Capra’s intuitions of decades past, scientific discoveries are merged with new (and perhaps very old) interpretations of consciousness. This is how it should be; the Newtonian universe must ultimately be discarded in favor of the quantum discoveries that tickle our brains, easing us into new frontiers of existence, consciousness and human evolution. The homo cyber I find mentioned here and there, if left alone in the wilderness of pure artificial or mechanistic intelligence, would be the unfortunate result of not taking the final step of this process. Like refusing to take the red pill, our psyches would be left to rot inside the prison Matrix of third dimensional space-time. “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy,” reminds Shakespeare.

The Internet may be Noosphere 1.0, a precursor to an enlightened state of consciousness; or perhaps, Noosphere for Beginners, or Noosphere for Dummies. Though arguably a creation of Big Brother’s sinister and eavesdropping omnipresence, the Internet is also being used, perfectly a la Tao, as a vehicle to transmit thoughts and ideas in preparation for a purely telepathic noosphere. The next several years its role will be vastly influential in terms of the global progression of consciousness, and I urge all to participate as they can until then (or until the government curtails this freedom, much as it has done with suppressing entheogens); but at some point, perhaps soon, the circuits and transistors will go the way of the covered wagon. Many of us will leave our electronic devices abandoned on the beach as we eventually look up and realize the great sea of enlightenment and oneness is before us, and go in for a dip – never to return. The key to ridding ourselves of the shackles of this reality is love, pure and simple. Love is the thing no machine can transmit; love is the unique trait, or ability, that will catapult our transformation from homo sapiens not to homo cyber, but to homo luminus.

The minds at work on the great consciousness project at this moment are alive during this time not by accident. They are all Surfing the Tao though they may not be aware of it. We are all giving what we have, and taking what we need, in some kind of post-modern, spirit-driven, psychedelic communistic mind trip, hastened by our collective visions of 2012 and beyond. Hagerty calles it entheospace; I might describe the sensation as a sort of dreamstate, finding oneself floating down a river of consciousness, gently colliding with others riding down the same stream in a kind of synchronistic, fractal pattern of atunement, as we all slip closer to the great sea.

Daniel Pinchbeck’s first book was entitled, Breaking Open the Head – which I mention here not for its particular content, which is a mind-expanding examination of the entheogenic experience, but because it so aptly illustrates my own particular state of being.

My own head cracked in college, during several misguided entheogenic experiences. I discovered Terence McKenna, but as far as spirituality goes, I was definitely a seeker who didn’t really want to spend any time looking.

This all changed in 1999. The previous fracture, which had begun to scar over, was rent asunder, and a torrent of new knowledge and higher frequencies began to stream in. I will only say: the true masters are truly hidden. And it is meant to stay that way, for now, perhaps because actual participants can often teach each other more in the beginning. But I was urged to continue meditating, and before long I had what Neil Kramer over at The Cleaver might call a fourth dimensional experience.

Without any entheogenic aid, I crossed over into the void. Suddenly, I Knew.

There are no further words for what I experienced. The language simply doesn’t exist. But it changed everything I knew, all that I was. What followed was years of reading, researching, listening, loving, meditating and change. Many of the books that appeared as if by magic I have listed here. My intellectual side was frustrated, but my spirit was at peace for the first time I can remember in my adult life. The end result of that was, I wrote a book, which was really just a cathartic expression of my overwhelmed psyche.

My own path is still guided by amazing synchronicity and coincidence. I find it startling how often I find articles written about the very subject I had been ruminating about. How I discover brilliant minds have already found answers to the questions I have been asking. How so many of our paths are beginning to converge on the Great Path. Spirituality, Taoism, 2012, eschatology, Planet X, the Matrix, conspiracy, sinister agendas, alien technology, symbology, synchromysticism, mind control, electromagnetism, alternative energy, quantum physics, plasma physics, torsion physics, entheogenic-inspired thought and conscious enlightenment, ecocentric living, — the puzzle pieces are coming together rapidly. I cannot explain how I know what I Know, yet I will say; the quickening is upon us. The noosphere is coalescing. The Puzzle of Being, and the question of consciousness, is in the process of being realized by a vast cadre of psycho-cryptographers.

The great irony is, I sense, that this enlightened, super-charged, noospheric state of being is and has always has been, here and now. This ancient Way that has been lost during our fall, over perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, is now being quickly rediscovered, picked up and dusted off as some kind of primordial reflex to protect ourselves from what we subconsciously know is coming. We are remembering, so that we will survive.

I remember Y2K. Regarding expectations for 2012, the intensity of thought, intellect, spirit, and energy now in 2008 is somewhat on par with what happened the months previous to Y2K. And we have nearly five years left. What incredible postulations, theories, discoveries, transitions, realizations, opportunities, manifestations, creations and expectations will surface between now and then?

And what will happen on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 universal time? That remains to be seen; but to prepare for either global catastrophe, psychedelic wormholes or simply more life as we know it – the only answer is, and always will be: love, peace and harmony.

Sometimes I wonder how I find what I do here online – and when I do, I wonder what else I’m missing. I’m only one person. Only one computer. Only so many hours in the day.

If you’ve made it this far, please consider leaving a comment here regarding what author, what religion, what spiritual path, what thinker, what scientist, what discovery, what issue, what website, what experience – what ANYTHING that has made a difference for you on your journey.

Give what you have. Take what you need.

As it acts in the world, the Tao

is like the bending of a bow.

The top if bent downward;

the bottom is bent up.

It adjusts excess and deficiency

so that there is perfect balance.

It takes from what is too much

and gives to what isn’t enough.

– Tao Te Ching #77

Plasma, or ionized gas, is often referred to as the fourth state of matter and is defined as an “assemblage of charged particles called electrons and ions that react collectively to forces exerted by electric and magnetic fields”. It is said to make up more than 99% of the visible and non-visible universe.

The sun and other stars are made up of plasma, as is the solar wind. And what used to be thought of as the emptiness or void of space, the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic mediums, is now known to be filled with it. On earth, plasma is found in various products such as plasma TV displays, fluorescent lamps and neon signs, as well as in various natural lightning phenomena, the ionosphere, and the polar aurorae.

First identified in our era by Sir William Crookes in 1879 and named thusly by Nobel Laureate Irving Langmuir in 1929, plasma’s complexity continues to baffle much of the scientific world. Among the first scientists to research plasma physics in our modern era are notables Kristian Birkeland and later, Hannes Alfven, who coined the term Plasma Universe and won a Nobel Prize for his efforts in 1970. Though the subject is still full of controversy, there are now many, many research institutes working on this new wave of scientific thought. Some alternative researchers insist that plasma physics has still not been fully utilized and understood in terms of its relevance to cosmology. So much so, apparently, that the Los Alamos site on the Plasma Universe includes this disclaimer. But it is sure to be the focus of enormous research this century. This site writes, “Gravity was the focus of 20^th century astrophysics. For the 21^st century, it will be electromagnetism and plasmas in addition.”

Check out the video called Thunderbolts of the Gods, which explains this enlightening piece of the great puzzle of existence. The Thunderbolts Project is involved in raising awareness of the Electric Universe, which opens up radical new lines of thought in terms of cosmogony, chaos theory and theoretical and quantum physics – essentially the very origins and nature of our reality itself. However from this lively debate on Wikipedia regarding inclusion of the material on its site, one can infer that the discussion is far from over (though as the final word points out, this article on Comet Holmes’ recent activities may change that).

I found several highly interesting posits from the Electric Universe crowd. One, that it’s actually electric charge emanating from comets, not cosmic dust per the old ‘dirty snowball’ idea, that we can see as they fly through space. The Electric Universe theory seeks to knock conventional scientific theory surrounding the mystery of comets altogether to its knees. Another involves the suspicious fractal filamentary designs, such as Lichtenberg figures, indicating possible electric discharges in locations commonly thought of as being impact craters on the moons and planets in our solar system, like the spiders on Mars – including perhaps even Tungusta, which I have long suspected had more to do with an electromagnetic display of some sort, ala Tesla, than the meteor theory that is more widely accepted.

Orthodox science takes a very long time to allow such paradigm shifts to trickle down into all the various disciplines. Quantum physics shattered science decades ago and its reverberations are still being accounted for to this day. Plasma physics may well indeed follow up on this rupture in conventional theory, altering our understanding of the universe in ways we cannot yet imagine.

Going even further out onto the fringe, the metaphysical reverberations will also undoubtedly take their sweet time. After over thirty years, The Tao of Physics is still making its rounds. On the other hand, alternative theorists are already discussing such radical ideas as the effect of our coming 2012 alignment with the galactic plane on consciousness, and perhaps even dimensional shifts, like some kind of psychedelic wormhole in spacetime. The fact that known ‘mind control’ technologies work by changing electromagnetic fields must lead us to at least consider that other ‘natural’ electromagnetic displays in our universe may influence us at the very base of our existence as well.

We are, in truth, all electric entities, resonating and reverberating with our environments on a level we perhaps do not completely understand; theories surrounding the Schumann resonance are a good example. My own eclectic experience with energetic thought patterns, energetic healing such as chi gung, even our Buddha-natures and the very concept of the Tao itself, as an energetic and perhaps even electric field which encompasses all of creation, has me wondering if all of this may well slide science that much closer to spirit – for some of us, anyway. We may phrase things differently than the ancients, but somehow, they intuited truths that science is still working to ‘discover’. I believe there are clues out there, both in science and in the fringes of metaphysics, that we might pay attention to as we slide ever and more quickly closer to the changes that are to come.

“Every pearl has its oyster.” - Randall Jarrell

I don’t believe in coincidence. I’ve gotten myself into quite a few prolonged conversations on that point; but the fact remains, for myself, there is only synchronicity and wisdom hidden amongst the layers of daily experience. It’s only up to us to look for them.

Maybe it’s all just loony-bin material. But I can’t speak for the skeptical side of this tendency. I can only wonder at the lack of imagination, the lack of desire for discernment and greater truths; the lack of stunned amazement of life and its diversity. I also wonder at the admirable height of arrogance that makes one believe the only reality is the one we can see. It’s not about right or wrong; to me, it’s just a decision one makes. True or not, I believe one can either choose to pay attention and look for opportunities towards growth and wisdom, or settle into the mindset that it’s all random, and solely based on our own intellectual or emotional chemical synapses, thereby perhaps missing messages and pathways that might otherwise speak to us on levels of consciousness untried.

That said, it’s not always easy to discern one’s own particular path. There are a multitude of subtle layers to this sensibility, and it’s takes practice to recognize them. The world and all its daemons continues to tempt one into false promises, illusions and mixed messages. So it’s not always immediately apparent, of course, where one is headed or exactly how things will play out. That’s why in Surfing the Tao one must rely on the strength and power of the wave to carry us over. There’s a certain amount of trust involved; at least we know we have the wave to ride. Unlike true ocean waves, the Tao is always perfectly available and present.

My own path has recently led me across literally heaps and heaps of pearls. Pearls of every shape, color and variety. Huge black Tahitian pearls; strands and strands of them. Perfectly round ones, and astonishing circled and baroque ones. Gorgeous white, gold, silver and pink South Sea pearls, bigger than gum balls, which virtually emit their own light. Miles and miles of freshwater pearls, from the tiniest to the largest they come, in nearly every shade of the rainbow. Mabe pearls. Blister pearls. Teardrop pearls, coin pearls, petal pearls, tile pearls and keshi pearls. I’ve learned to string them, pushing tiny knots of thread tightly between each precious gem for safety, with your choice of clasp.

The irony is, I’ve never been much of a jewelry person myself. My husband laughs because he says I am the only wife who says, please don’t buy me any more jewelry. It’s too expensive, and I won’t wear it. The only exceptions are pieces my own father has lovingly and expertly crafted over the years – and my wedding ring of course, though there are no big diamonds on my fingers. I also have one particular amulet I can’t live without so no matter how dressed up I get, it stays around my neck. I don’t care much about fashion, to the amusement of my mom and stepdaughters. I’m more a creature of habit. So it’s particularly noteworthy when these luminescent, dazzling orbs begin to enter my consciousness so fully, so unexpectedly.

Pearls are found in nearly every religious tradition, with many various symbologies and parables. The “pearl of great price” was a metaphor used by Jesus to describe the Kingdom of Heaven. Bits of wisdom are inevitably referred to as “pearls.” We are reminded not to “cast pearls before swine.” There are the Pearly Gates. Also the Hymn of the Pearl. Pearls are often mentioned in the Koran. Hindus relate to the Nine Pearls. New Age and metaphysical references are many and varied. I was tickled to find out the largest pearl in the world is claimed to be the Pearl of Lao Tzu, which comes replete with its own legend and controversy.

The spiritual significance of this opportunity that fell out of the sky recently is not lost on me. The very reason I am swimming in pearls is because of necessity, a situation I know many share during these unusually challenging economic times. And of course such situations also often bring emotional turmoil; such is the way of the fallible human spirit, unless already greatly trained against outside tension. But I realize, through this perhaps ponderously obvious example which has been laid in my path, that I must allow the relatively tiny irritants to enter in, so that with love, I may also build up the layers and layers of lustrous nacre to protect against future challenges. As in the case of so many delicate sea pearls, with their giant Maxima shells the size of dinner plates, many baby pearls are lost. It may take several tries to get a good one, and it’s why they are so rare and highly valued. But eventually, after several years of persistence, the perfect, glistening sphere is born.

“Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; he who would search for pearls must dive below. “ -John Dryden

Yes, things have been crazy around here. I am working on a few ideas right now but for whatever reason the Tao has me surfing other breaks at the moment. I’ll be here soon…It’s All Good …

There is a time for being ahead,

a time for being behind;

a time for being in motion,

a time for being at rest,

a time for being vigorous,

a time for being exhausted;

a time for being safe,

a time for being in danger.

The Master sees things as they are,

without trying to control them.

She lets things go their own way,

and resides in the center of the circle.

On any journey of self-discovery and seeking the unknowable, one cannot help but notice the inextricable and inevitable influence of place upon progress-to-date – until, of course, one reaches the place of no-place.

Though my own metaphysical journey started in Los Angeles, it quickly became clear that at least for me, further advancement wasn’t going to be easy there; I had to get out. Not to mention that I had, during this initiatory period, stepped foot on this island for the first time and was simply changed forever. Frankly I couldn’t get back here fast enough.

Certain places on the globe seem to resonate with different people for whatever reason; one friend is currently finding solace in the Southwest, another longs for home in Switzerland while away on business, while yet another perhaps more gypsy soul is currently in debate with this particular crazy rock. The ancients knew certain locations resonated with specific planetary energies, and built their monuments/observatories accordingly to harness or intensify the power – for what uses, I might suppose were many.

In terms of spiritual development, paying attention is the key. A place can teach, if we allow it to. I can speak from experience about the Big Island; its energy is palpable, electric, shocking, penetrating and alive. It’s like the Great Pyramid of the Pacific. If tuned to its particular radiance, it tends to force a certain coming-to-terms with elements of oneself in clear and often disturbing reflection, far more rapidly than might normally occur in life somewhere else. Perhaps it’s the seemingly concentrated mega-supernaturality of the place, all confined here on a relatively small patch of land out in the middle of thousands of miles of ocean; I don’t really know what makes this place so magical and transformative. But you can either face yourself, and perhaps some difficult challenges, or you can run away. Trust me; plenty of people choose the latter.

This place isn’t for everyone, and I image it’s the same for all the islands. It’s not a little ironic that “Lost” is filmed in Hawaii – because it’s easy to get lost here, trapped in a kind of psychical warfare with Self in which intriguing clues to endless puzzles dot the landscape of existence, with no escape. This is a unique place which at first seems to be a refuge, where a calm, slow-paced way of life accented by warm weather, beaches and aloha beckons; but a violent and molten core suggests a more turbulent spiritual undercurrent. After about two years, more or less, newcomers are either fully absorbed in the trials by fire and subsequent honing of their character, or are in the process of being expelled. Residents know, the island seems to pick and choose who stays here, simply spitting out the rest. One either resonates with this place, or not – and the ‘nots’ often get a solid kick in the rear on the way out.

In the six years I’ve been here, I can attest to the transformation that has occurred within me – and is still taking place. It hasn’t all been plumeria blossoms and coconuts. I’m stronger, calmer, wiser, but not before some difficult experiences; I exorcised not a few demons, walked the coals, and witnessed the same in loved ones around me who came here. This island, as I’m sure other places too, will heal you, strengthen you and teach you – if you pay attention and let go of your expectations. If you force your own ego upon it and refuse to listen, this island will shake you, rattle you, and even burn you or swallow you whole.

It’s as if this haunted isle is a microcosm of the Tao; within it - for some - are all the tools necessary for transformation of spirit and character, in loudly resonating abundance. Wrong choices exist glaringly alongside the right ones; not necessarily good or bad, as all things become part of one’s conscious development. But certainly they depend on one’s level of awareness and participation; there are plenty of lost souls wandering around out here too, as in any place. Personally I feel blessed to have been led somewhere I could move through my own journey at what seems to be an accelerated pace – where every step rings clearly, announcing itself, sometimes painful, sometimes joyous – and the in-between, no-man’s time can be an intense paradox of aware not-knowing. In another place, perhaps these signposts might have gone unnoticed under the thundering din of a materialistic, overcrowded, overbuilt and neon-lit now. In another place, perhaps my own tuning fork might have been out of phase.

Certainly Surfing the Tao is a Way of many diverse paths, and the point of it all is to find the essence of one’s own experience – discovering Self, discovering the Tao, and the links therein; discovering the Way of Life and love as it unfolds in an increasingly chaotic world. Every place and person will be its own, and these paths will all someday converge on the Great Path, within the spirits and hearts of those willing few. I can only suggest that place can play a far more important role in our journey than we may realize. Pay attention and the Tao will lead.

Learn to sway in the wind or you’ll break. No matter how many times the gales blow, it’s always the same.

Float down the center of the rapids, don’t try to swim against the current. No matter how often the rains come, it’s always the same.

Balance over the abyss but don’t fall in. No matter how hard you’re shaken, it’s always the same.

What’s different about today?

Nothing.

“They definitely do not want us to learn to Surf the Tao, for then we would no longer be victims to their abuse.” - Surfing the Tao: A Revolution of Free Will

My husband, who is a bit older than I am, commented this morning that if someone went to sleep in 1950 and woke up today, they’d think the world had gone frigging insane. I suppose you could say that about any stretch of time in history, but as I pondered his frustration I realized in this case, he really could be correct.

Since most of us haven’t been asleep for decades, we generally absorb the changes and news as they come without too much trouble. The paradigm shift happens slowly, so that most people don’t really notice it’s happening until they look back and remember what used to be. Certainly there are major events that shift the paradigm rapidly and radically, like 9/11, and can be a bit more difficult to adjust to. But just consider news from the past few years – genetically modified foods, millions dying from hunger and poverty while a few elite get even richer, transhumanism, a military that admits testing on its own citizens and is creating new weaponry that threatens the brain wave patterns of entire populations, robot wars, weather modification, nanotechnology and implanted control chips, pharmaceuticals, wars over oil, disappearing children, genocides, economic collapse…the horrors seem to grow by the day and few seem to notice. We flip the channel from the daily body count to tabloid news without blinking. It’s not as much that we’ve grown numb to these things as much as this has simply become our paradigm.

It got me daydreaming about what our ‘paradigm’ was truly meant to be like, and maybe could have been, if we really did live in conscious rhythm with the harmony or harmonics of the universe – if we really did Surf the Tao, so to speak.

It also made me realize that it’s quite possible, in fact in my personal opinion it’s quite evident, that our paradigm has been under attack for quite awhile. It’s as if we are tired and want to go to sleep, but there’s someone constantly poking at us and making noise and stuff. Or perhaps the opposite; we are trying to wake up from a nightmare but someone keeps drugging us. Either way it’s very annoying.

I suppose you could argue about the nature of human existence, as many have and continue to do of course, but all I can do is give my opinion as gleaned from my own inner Surfing revelations. Humans are uniquely capable of an intense, conscious and compassionate loving nature. Those out there without this consciousness are either 1) not human or B) devoid of spirit.

The not human thing is particularly difficult for many people. I don’t really go there on this blog very much, yet I do touch on it quite a bit in my book. It’s radical and still outside our mainstream paradigm; yet I feel we are in the process of conditioning by the Paradigm Police in preparation for this next radical shift (science fiction as entertainment, UFO videos whether real or hoaxed, more and more people ‘channeling’ one or another type of being, certain ‘disclosure projects’, etc). In my opinion the evidence is quite strong that are other, non-human, highly evolved, sentient beings involved in our global affairs, directly with our heads of state or business, and/or from extradimensional realms into our own consciousness.

Whether they come from outer space, cloud nine or even the inner earth is irrelevant. What matters is what they are telling us. Because as every good Trekkie know, the #1 Prime Directive is don’t interfere with a more primitive civilization. Period. If they are, they’re either pushing their own selfish agendas, or claiming that they are attempting to ’save us’ from such interference. I am leery of both; I see it much like our own political scene, in which it seems like there are two sides but in reality there is only one puppet master manipulating us into the position he wants. Again, within my own spirit, I have the sense that very few, if any, of ‘them’, are Surfing the Tao. The real good guys know the truth about our present reality; it is illusory and impermanent anyway. It’s not really the job of any enlightened being to tell us directly what to do or how to think, aside from love. They never tell you what to do or where to go. They are the very opposite of the Paradigm Police. They want us to sense and follow the Great Rhythm from within our own hearts. It’s like the old saying; give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime. That’s why those who insinuate themselves upon us for their own gain are the most insidious of all. They are interfering with the very Rhythm of the Tao itself, instead forcing their own agenda-laden paradigm upon a naïve and unwitting population.

As for B) devoid of spirit; well, talk about unwitting. It’s pretty obvious most people live today without any spiritual awareness at all, thanks to the Paradigm Police and their swanky, third-dimensional stage set up by our world’s elite, who profit from our ignorance and resultant powerlessness. Of course there are many varieties of spirituality out there today and many conscious, loving souls who work hard to stay above water in a material world flooded with distractions and physical stimuli. And yet, for the most part, our world’s spiritual paths have long been infiltrated; they are sterile, third-dimensional, close-minded, traditional, political, hierarchical, cultural and habit-based practices that in most cases leave the real spirit generally uninvolved. It leaves that empty place within ourselves open to harassment from other sources. If we don’t even realize or believe we have spirits, they are in danger of being usurped for other agendas. Nature abhors a vacuum. That’s where the nasty side of human behavior comes from; without conscious love, people are susceptible to cruel, criminal behavior – as well as simple blind acceptance of the status quo. Lack of spiritual awareness leaves one open to interference from the Paradigm Police. It keeps us from two very important realizations: that our world has become completely ridiculous, and that we have the power to do something about it.

Looking back throughout history one sees evidence that there has always been those who attempt to harness and control and mindsets of the people of the time. Most have done this through politics, war, culture, etc – though some have tried to teach us otherwise, i.e. Jesus, Buddha and others. Unfortunately even their messages have been turned upside down by the powers-that-be. Ours is a winding road replete with detours, roadblocks and misleading signs; and yet, if we truly stop and listen to our Higher Selves, we will realize the Way is not Out There, it is Within Us. This truly would be a revolution of free will. If just one person at a time were to wake up and take away the power of the Paradigm Police our world would begin to shift, perhaps upwards to a place we have yet to imagine.

“If powerful men and women could remain centered in the Tao, all things would be in harmony. The world would become a paradise. All people would be at peace, and the law would be written in their hearts.” - Tao Te Ching #32

“When a superior man hears of the Tao, he immediately begins to embody it. When an average man hears of the Tao, he half believes it, half doubts it. When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs out loud. If he didn’t laugh, it wouldn’t be the Tao.” -Tao Te Ching #41

It has come to my attention, through various conversations of my own as well as some that other people have related to me, that the Tao Te Ching remains unknown to a very large portion of the population. Several people have asked me recently, which book has influenced me most in my life; my response is always the TTC and often I get blank looks. I realize that my path is less traveled, and I suppose we all get caught up in our own research; however, it’s a shame that this small collection of verses takes a back shelf in today’s world. The Tao is an enigma, no doubt; but regardless of one’s religion or personal philosophy, I highly recommend picking up a copy and giving it a read.

It doesn’t matter what religion you follow; this tiny volume is densely packed with honest, down-to-earth wisdom. Often particular religions are strict about avoiding any texts aside outside of their own particular manual; Christians often fall into this category, to my endless disappointment. Frankly it’s a big reason why I tend not to associate myself with this particular organized religion, even though I do happen to retain some of their basic beliefs. God is greater than any religion, I always say. It’s not Lao Tzu’s fault he lived thousands of years before Christ. Unfortunately, as well-meaning and kind as they can be, Christians are often the most close-minded of all religious groups in terms of their unwillingness to investigate beyond what their sect has dictated to them. Personally I think many Christians would be surprised how similar Lao Tzu’s words are to those of Jesus, and there is a great book, “Jesus and Lao Tzu: the Parallel Sayings” which describes this most succinctly. Another enlightening book is “Christ, the Eternal Tao”, which was written by a monk.

It’s imperative that all people of all faiths open their hearts and minds in order to avoid deception in the future. Truly this is part of my mission – perhaps the most important part. Real truth comes from within yourself, not from any outer source – therefore not even the TTC contains the ‘whole truth’, though it does provide a wider scope with which one’s inner self could expand awareness. All books, including the Bible, are tools, not ends in themselves. But putting limitations on the information and understanding we allow ourselves is exactly what the powers-that-be want us to be doing. If you think standard Christianity hasn’t been usurped by power-mongers and a suspicious elite, starting with the ‘compiling’ of the Bible in the fourth century, you have quite a bit of research ahead of you. (For that matter I take modern Taoism with a grain of salt as well; many sects have now become more like cults and one must always be on guard.)

Non-spiritual people also tend to neglect the TTC. But in truth it’s more a book of philosophy, or Way of Life, not a religion. FYI the book is not a long read, nor is it controversial – it’s a small collection of 81 verses, all of which touch your spirit uniquely and lovingly. Often I open to a random page and look for whatever wisdom Lao Tzu gives me that day; I do the same thing with the Bible at times, as well as the Upanishads, The Art of Peace, and other spiritual texts. I’ve read them all cover-to-cover by now, and though some might scorn me for using them as oracles; too bad. It works for me, and I don’t hesitate to recommend the method to others. If you’re looking for spiritual awareness and don’t know where to start, the Tao Te Ching is probably the softest touch.

If I can do anything with my blog, perhaps the single most important thing is to pass on this recommendation. If you’re curious about the Tao; if you’re stuck in your religion and want to get into your spirit; if you have no spiritual inclinations at all but are looking for inspiration – this is the book for you. If interpretation proves difficult, send me a note and I’ll help as much as I can – but I will say, each person is going to absorb the wisdom differently, and it’s actually an excellent tool for awakening your own spirit and sense of discernment.

Happy reading!!
