A discussion about the transformation of Love in real life.
Being on the tail end of the Boomer age, was perhaps the last generation to see small family farm life, the explosion of 70s suburban life, the rise of corporation entity and now digital tech life. Yet there was also parallel current progression of change in internal from religious, to secular psychology, meditation and now divination or psychic phenomena. Key or catch words like harmonic convergence, crystals, tarot, quantum, and multidimensionality flash in and out of the ever-changing lexicon. Being in my late 60s it seems like the 1950s were just a minute ago and yet a lifetime ago and tremendous change is right on the horizon and able to reach out to touch it. At least several times a week, I’m looking up some unfamiliar concept.
Groovy vibes are no longer cool. But what are your biometrics of brain wave frequency, syncing and rhythmic oscillation for peak flow of living an empowered and inspired life? Are you using your “down” time for, etc. It sounds like optimizing or bio hacking the physical machine… we just need to get the neuro link connected to monitor and apply performance parameters. We can flash the ECU (electronic control/computer unit) of our car for peak performance… why not the bio unit?
Looking without one dreams. Looking within one awakens… does this still work? Now we are looking out at the universe but are examining our inverse. The inner-sanctum along with the outer-spectrum. You are the universe, both within, without, and are you the dimensional connection between them? The popular notion of manifestation is the touted bridge between the verses. The bridge between…? Death and re-birth, sin and redemption, “I got no dime, but I got some time to hear his story.” Wharf Rat, Hunter & Garcia 1971. Does the muse visit the soul in darkness, whispering long forgotten light?
Expectations of Love and Fear
What does one expect? Anticipation of either excitement (love) or anxiety (fear). Heaven or hell are merely imaginations. Anticipation of love and fear feel very similar. “The autonomic nervous system comprises two parts- the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system activates the fight-or-flight response during a threat or perceived danger, and the parasympathetic nervous system restores the body to a state of calm.” (AI generated).
But what if we feel excited and remain calm and composed with equanimity? We are told that it is an “either/or situation,” i.e., that both states of excitement and calm cannot exist simultaneously. But they can co-occur. The transcendent experience can be on either the light or the dark side. The light is often referred to a being ecstatic, enraptured and release into flow in a mystical or transcendent experience. While in the dark are the tales, reports, and even movie portrayals of ritualistic terror of capture and control via fear which can be a captivating experience.
Anticipation to Reality
When does this become real? It is a progression. Beginning in the depths of imagination, then intention, then as a plan or ritual. It is in the experience where the activation or catalyst occurs. The activation or catalyst are the feelings. Feelings draw in or transmit. Feelings are the connection to transform from spirit (energy) to physical… or physical to energetic (spirit). Basically, it is the heart (feelings) are the connection to the field of possibilities and opportunities. Feelings bring into focus that which we note is “reality.” Reality is simply the actual illusionary reflection that is seen and experienced in the mirror of consciousness. It is our response to the reflection that we ascribe meaning and purpose of and to the reflection. We can bark and be fearful like mad dogs at the sight of the reflection. What can we view it as an opportunity to learn from the reflection? Or we can experience the reflection a discarnate or separate aspect of our self that we could integrate (shadow and light work). The reflection only exists to get our attention. Then we get to decide what to do with it. Anticipation is a feeling that catalyzes energy into form and form into energy. It is a trifecta of imagination, intention and subsequent creation. An image which comes from our expectation. Choose wisely!
Child’s Play
Like child’s play, it starts with using imagination and whimsical representation. But it is not child’s play. Teens can get lost in ritualistic symbolic realism. And adults can slip into psychotic delusions. Yet, one can learn to play with it, learn to work the tension and release… the waxing and waning, ebb and flow. But the separation conjunction between the two is real…it’s the “rub.” One learns of the alchemical mixing and distillation reflexive/reciprocal process in manifesting and transformation.
It becomes a progression of play with the intention of what might happen. What is the unknown, interesting and what should I do? It’s the buildup and refinement. Intuition, inspiration, imagination, intention and engagement will make something happen. The trick is the progression of refinement and observing what happens. Often, we don’t know what will happen, sometimes it’s a surprise. Given enough experience one comes to the illusionary believe what will happen. Yet once engagement occurs, we really don’t know the details of what will happen. At best we can observe the patterns and progressions that play out; responding as we see fit.
The point is to have your internal standards of being. Often the control that a person has access to is questionable. Basically, we can go in (or not), let go (or not) of the experience. But we can determine our experience of what is happening. Things such as mindfulness, integrity, compassion and grace. The challenge is to let go of expectations, anticipation and go into the experience, feel it, become, and be in the experience… but not of the experience. I.e., be in love with and of the experience of love. No fear… so exciting. What else is there ever to do?
Side Note:
It is interesting that Theta brain waves are associated with children’s imagination and are predominant in children between the ages of 2 and 6:
Theta waves have a frequency of 4 to 8 cycles per second and are associated with creativity, intuition, daydreaming, and fantasizing. Children in this state are connected to their internal world and are open to playful suggestions.
Beta brain waves dominate brain function in children from age seven and onward. This is when brain activity increases and children can think logically and analytically.
Delta is the slowest brain waves and is most often found in infants and young children. They are associated with deep relaxation and restorative sleep. (AI generated)
However, we can also access these states as adults to enhance our wellbeing, performance, and life. Especially using meditation, self-induced or auto hypnosis and other approaches. For example, using early morning for intuition, imagination, and creativity to generate ideas, concepts, etc. Capturing these with journaling or dictation apps before even getting out of bed. Then later in the day using Beta for logistical, analysis, and pragmatic implementation/execution of inspiration from the theta realms. And accessing Delta for deep relaxation and restoration. The presumption is that the body can heal itself. The problem is that our consciousness and subconscious program gets in the way… or we learn to use our conscious awareness to get beyond (or quiet or re-program) our disruptive subconscious programing. Thus, by methods of meditation, hypnosis, and perhaps with flotation tanks we can heal ourselves.
Communities
The spectrum of communities. The spectrum of communities, ranging from fleetingly temporary to levels of permanency. And the decorum of tolerance, sovereignty, integrity to free and aspects of containment and diversity of expression can vary widely from tribalism to nationalism, and planetary themes. The gatherings of the Kumba Mela, Woodstock, Rainbow Gatherings, Burning Man appear chaotic… but have an underlying coherence of some core theme or value. While things such as military, government, and corporations have a structured organization with policies, protocols, and procedures which are organized but are chaotic during stressful times. So, what works during times of peace and during the heat of the battle?
For example, the past 2 years my guilty pleasure, being an alumnus, has been watching Nebraska college women’s volleyball. These women are smart, disciplined, aggressive… and having fun. It’s a rare combination of “being.” But mainly it’s their relationship in being with their fans, coaches, and amongst themselves both on and off the court. It’s the relationships of mutual support, encouragement, and sharing love and joy whether in battle.
Life on the Range
Life on the range, i.e., a spectrum from floating to being planted. Is it constrained or freedom to be? Are human beings only a species of “apex predators” with the ability to be highly adaptable. The ability to develop use physical, mental and relationship tools to adapt to any environment and situation. Environments from deep sea, to space, and any other environment on the planet from deserts of the north and south poles, and Sahara to the lush Amazon and tropical islands. We wander with very little possessions or require several semi-trucks. Going from beaches to mountains that are 12,000 miles away within a day. We can live simply in trees, underground, floating boats, igloos, tents, tipi, cardboard boxes, cars, RV campers, tiny home containers from small to grand palaces. But can we also be “apex benefactors,” supporters, and philanthropists capable of creating divine-like existence for the planet and her multitude of beings?
Migration
Migration, history presents evidence that cultural mixing results in a fusion boom of mixing and on one hand there are the immigrants fitting in to the dominate culture versus a fusion of cultures into a vibrant hub of culture refreshed. Singapore, Austin, and the “Silk Road Initiative.” Of course, there is the progression of rise, plateau and fall or the rejuvenation and innovation. Changing apartments from centers of cubical isolation to complexes of collaboration. Such as hubs of economic sharing, trading and being in communities of ideas. Human history and evolution is a story of the migration of persons, places and ideas.https://hbr.org/2015/02/how-singapore-became-an-entrepreneurial-hub
Digital Nomad
A tad of planning, skills and resource management enables folks to be digital nomads. Whether it is in the form or “gig work” or via the blog-sphere limited only by one’s imagination. Which also includes a person’s inner space, i.e., their thoughts, feelings, experiences are monetized via Instagram, YouTube, only fans, TikTok, X, etc. And the digital services of coaching, mentoring, training, consulting, etc.
Energy, Water, and Shelter
Energy is everything, and everything is energy. There is an abundance of energy on the planet. The issues are aspects of conversion, access, conservation or efficient use. There are issues of the matter of transforming or converting energy into a form or type that we can use. One aspect is a matter of innovation, control and distribution, centralized versus decentralized. The development of innovations in technology has mind blowing potential. For example, the development of hydrogen fuel cell cars could be easily adapted for small decentralized electrical generation by having the car on blocks and replacing the wheels with an alternator assembly and an inverter to generate AC electricity… using water as a fuel source. Also magnetic, electrical generation is a fascinating direction.
One perspective is capturing and calculating the total cost of production in relationship to usefulness, applicability, and service life. For instance, when calculating a hydrogen fuel cell car, does one calculate mining raw material expenses, transportation of the material, research and design, manufacturing equipment, etc. And then there is the cost of disposal after service life and potential environmental impact, such as nuclear electrical generation… the basic concept of steam engines but a different fuel source.
Another is how does one calculate connivence? For instance, if a person flies half-way around the world for a tropical vacation. They will have a huge carbon and energy footprint compared to several lifetimes of the global average of person the planet. And from a conservation perspective the energy expense is insane. But we are told that the new Airbus or Boeing is much more economical.
In the shorter term, innovation of other forms of access to electric generation, i.e., small decentralized electrical generation from a small portable nuclear, wave generation, magnetic powered via gear reduction, etheric electro culture.
Water
Water from the air or from the ground, as a by-product from hydrogen fuel cell to form electric, and from nano magnetic desalination. Energy and water are the two primary things to figure out. However, water and energy, i.e., perhaps they both resolve the issue in a combination with each other.
Shelter
Transition and progression it is a growing thing. Nature, i.e., small animals, mammals have it figured out. Prairie dogs, rabbits, etc. have it figured out. Also, outdoor enthusiasts, the homeless and backpack travelers know that life requires very little material items to exist. During college for several summers, I traveled about with 27 pounds of stuff, that included food, clothes, bivy sleeping bag, and hygiene living comfortably… it was one of the most carefree and enjoyable times in my life wandering about.
If we are sending people into in submarines to the depths of the ocean, to space and to other planets, obviously, we can do small scale electrical generation and can produce water, food, plants and take care of the sanitary needs of a spacecraft crew. Why can’t we do this on earth using similar or the same technology? Since we are on the earth’s surface, which would be easier and more efficient.
Think Tanks
What is wealth? Perhaps the epitome of wealth is think tanks. Whether we call them hedge funds, skunk works, pentagon, naval academy, Davos, or a foundation. They are nodes of development and sharing information and discussions to develop various aspects of the engaging the future.
However, with the informational age and subsequent digital realm, this is a transition to into global consciousness. In the 50s was the birth of awareness, the 60s was the congealment of global awareness, 70s was “Whole Earth Catalogue,” 80s was de-regulation, 90s was global industrialization, etc. Hazzard to note that now we have a global awareness of climate change, pollution, species extinction, starvation, and inequalities. And to share and instantly witness devastating events as they happen. Yet we also can watch videos, new thoughts and concepts that come across social media. We are awakening to having a huge amount of resources and abilities if we just let them out. We can go beyond the idea of limiting these resources via patents and open the box.
That is sharing, it is the new wealth. Love is the new currency. And connection is coming online. Our connection is going exponential. We have the internet/digital realm… but we also have the consciousness realm. In the 1990s was the decade of the brain and now in the 2020s we have a new era/epoch of conscious. What is meant as the Age of Aquarius? An age of knowledge and experience of consciousness… consciousness being “air-like?” I.e. intellectual, curious, and socially connected… though also having the capacity for exploring our psi or psychic abilities. I often wonder when we understand and operationalize this. Can we quickly transition to a planetary new Earth and become galactic beings (… not the new world order of centralization). The new earth is the idea that we are coming into recognizing our galactic place in the universe.
UFO
If we have aliens and their technology, how useful would that be? Historically, some note and have long surmised that UFO tech exists. But would not be released until we got our shit together. Not to use it to colonize, enslave or kill each other and ourselves. This seems like a reasonable requirement. So, it is up to us to resolve our issues of egoic scarcity, greed, inability to share, and power versus sovereignty, integrity, compassion and grace. Are warmongers and aliens not also a part of us? Perhaps they are dimensional versions of ourselves from days of future past? So, who’s getting lit-up… us, them, or both and all of us?
It will be interesting to see the progression and the play of control versus freedom of digital currency, specifically the centralized versus de-centralized, an issue of sovereignty versus control. Imo it is about energy, wealth, and abundance. Which is sharing is the new energy, wealth, and abundance. Can we go beyond limiting ourselves to the attachment of money? Love, kindness, compassion, grace are priceless, and in demand and yet could easily be abundant. Sharing does not require control mechanisms of an intermediary, accounting, taxing, or regulation.
Swords into Plowshares
The military industrial complex (MIC) has a lot of smarts, resources, and technology. They are getting paid by government and corporate elites for us to kill and save people as determined by the puppet masters and the presumption of scarcity. What if there was no war? The planet and beings could even be more profitable building for life enhancement. We all could all be doing better. The military industrial complex would need to change over to a peace and abundance directive or presumption… instead of a scarcity premise. The MIC could leverage their core competencies of design, logistics, and implementation toward healing and supporting the planet and beings… and that would be a brave new planet and being… instead of the same old shit.
Well, if weather change continues. What if former MIC could be the response team to help disaster areas instead of creating disaster areas? In fact, they already are probably well specialized and have abilities to restore, electricity, stabilize water, and food and have the logistical capacity of transporting/moving supplies to help recover from natural (or man-made) disasters. Instead of creating unnatural and artificial disasters. What if HAARP type tech was used to restore arid lands to lush and diverse gardens?

P.S. A couple of links I found interesting this week.
Here we go… “Ground Control to Major Tom, Commencing countdown, engines on, Check ignition and may God’s love be with you” Space Oddity David Bowie, 1969 https://clifhigh.substack.com/p/welcome-to-scifi-world
Frequently, I’m way too much in the head. This came across my feed and reminded me that the body is also a pathway to the recognition of the divine within. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOTkbR_8pfE
