The Four Laws of Creation

2011-07-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

1) You exist.

I am.

The two words “I am” point to an Absolute Truth: You exist.

It doesn’t say “I was” or “I will be” because past and future are illusions. I AM.

Anything you add after the words “I am” such as I am happy, I am sad, I am rich, I am poor, I am perfect, I am imperfect… These are all illusions that the egoic mind can choose to buy into, or not.

…with one exception. “I am that I am.” This statement is simply saying, “I am what I am.” Nothing else could be true. Existence is itself. Reality is itself. You can’t truly be anything other than what you are, but you can PRETEND and THINK that you are, and thus EXPERIENCE yourself being something you’re not, one of the amazing capabilities provided to us in this illusory world of relativity.

2) The One is the All. The All are the One.

This is a paradox.

There is only the One, the One thing that is, the one “I” that exists.

The “All” are the infinite expressions of the One. The All is not separate from itself for it is the One thing that is. There is no other that the All can be in relationship with.

Note: This does NOT say that everyOne is PART of the All, as if there were many separate yet connected individuals, though this appears to be the case at a certain level. Ultimately, everyone IS the All. Every individual expression you look at IS the entire Universe itself, no matter how large or small. This is one of those truths that boggles the mind.

3) What you put out is what you get back.

The physical world is your mirror.

There is no Reality outside of or separate from you. You are the Source of the universe itself. You are God.

This understanding is reflected in Gandhi’s statement, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

If you were to look in a mirror and you saw a frown being reflected back to you, it would be silly to try to reach towards the mirror and squeeze the face into a smile. If you want to change the reflection of the frown into a smile, YOU must smile. Once you do, the mirror would have no choice but to automatically reflect a smile back to you.

4) Change is the only constant, except for the first 3 laws.

That’s it. Everything that changes is part of the illusion.

The weather, feelings, physical matter, people, thoughts, opinions, beliefs, wars, celebrations, birth, death. All illusion.

Want a quick way to discern Reality from illusion? Ask yourself if what you’re looking at ever changes.

Does silence ever change? Does noise?

Existence will always exist. It is Real.

Your body won’t always exist. It’s part of the illusion.

Love and Conversations About Love

2009-11-25T12:11:00.000-08:00

Love is the energy that has created the Universe and all that is within it. Love is the most powerful energy in the whole Universe! It is so powerful that is possesses you and takes over you and there is nothing you can do about it when it does this. It expands everything and bridges all of those disconnected connections and connects them. In my scientific experiments I have found that I cannot speak of love and feel this same feeling at the same exact time. I can have appreciation and speak and say nice things and make people feel good and affirm my own thoughts and feelings but when it all comes down to everything love is best expressed energetically. Love is that paradox that no one knows about. Poets, writers, movie makers, religions, scientists, romantics and many other people before us have all created ideas of what love is but it still remains a paradox. All of these creations have opened up dialogues and have also removed barriers to what love is thought to be and what love is not. This is the beautiful bridged polarity of everything in this world. Merging everything that IS and IS NOT. How do you know what something IS? How do you know what something IS NOT. These are both discoveries that only you can subjectively experience in my own person understanding. This is the number one thing about human kind's dialogue between each other. The debates, arguments, political stances, religious beliefs, scientific proofs. What IS and what IS NOT and how these things relate to both reality on a collective basis and an individual basis. I have a feeling we are going to become more immersed in the study of how we are relating to our own experiences as it seems with the direction of the way things are going in the outside world. Everything that is happening is a direct result of what both the individual has both been lead to believe is true and what has been experienced through these possible directions. The structures seems to be falling apart due to the fact that the dreamer has been awoken from a dream that has been created by the society, by the religions, by the governments, by the politicians, by the scientists, by the media and this freedom to choose has started to become more prevalent in human relating. The universe is full of so much unconditional love and that universe exists inside of you. All you have to do is let go and give yourself over to it. This has been the most difficult experience for humanity due to our experience of routine, domestication, comparative living, stuffing our brains with so much information that we can no longer let our mind and body become one because of the tension and separation between mind and body. The body is an instrument that is far more intelligent than just the mind alone. It knows when danger is approaching before your mind even knows. I have had a few experiences where I have almost been hit by cars and my body reacted to the situation faster than what my mind even knew what to do. The more we tap into our body the more we realize how much is possible. Tapping into our minds is just part of that process. Bridging that connection between the mind and the body and becoming mindbody is very essential. This can happen when the mind is at complete peace with its self. Breathing techniques also help with this. The deeper you can get into your breathing the deeper then connection you can have with your body and the easier it is to alleviate body and mind tensions. Today I recommend going for a walk and breathing as deeply as possible as you walk and just watch the breath come into the body through the nostrils and then watch as it goes back out if you cannot focus on the nostrils then take your awareness to the lungs or to the stomach. Watch as the breath goes in and the stomach goes out and the breath goes out and the stomach goes in. This will bridge that connection. Feel the energy coming in and out of your belly button. Feel your heart where all of the love that is in your resides and remember all of the great things that this life has to offer. There are millions of possibilities out there for you to connect with. There are millions of people. You are eternal. You are spirit having a human experience.

General Life Cycle

2009-11-24T10:32:00.000-08:00

ARE you the same person now that you were fifteen years ago? In fact, are you the same person you were just seven years ago? Most of us have heard the old saying that every cell in the body is changed over a period of seven years; but recent investigation has uncovered facts of far more significance to us as human beings. This concerns the emotional, physical and mental changes that seem to occur in approximate seven-year intervals.

Rudolph Steiner, the great teacher of Anthroposophy said that the seven-year cycles continue throughout life, and are of the utmost importance to doctors, teachers, psychiatrists and the social sciences. Without some smattering of these changes it is difficult for anyone to understand the relationship of any given individual with his or her environment. So I have tried to summarise what Steiner and others have said about the cycles.

0-7

One of the most important of these cycles is the first, from birth to seven years of age. Its importance lies in the fact that it is the beginning of everything, the foundation upon which the later structure will be built. Birth gives individual life to an infant body. Even at birth, this small being already has its given potential of intelligence, creativity and personality. But this potential has to come to terms with its environment, which includes its own body. In a human being we cannot have awareness without consciousness; we cannot have thinking without the tools of thought such as language, concepts or ideas. So during our early years we are largely moved by the instincts of hunger, need for love, protection and support, along with pain and the impact of our environment. All this while we build up the inner, mental structures that in later years will allow us to think, to feel, and to be aware of ourselves as an individual.

One of the most important of these inputs is that of the unconscious behavioural responses we learn. From the moment you are born, perhaps even prior to that, you are learning, or there are pressed upon you, responses to what you are experiencing. The culture you are born into is a huge ready-made set of behavioural responses. For instance, an Australian aborigine would easily respond to a huge living grub/caterpillar by eating it. This would be a very difficult behavioural response for most Northern Europeans or Americans. As babies we learnt everything from whether you respond to opportunity with fear or eagerness; to love with fear of warmth; to food as a glutton or with healthy appetite.

At birth there is a very different physical and glandular system than in later years. For a start the sexual organs have not developed, meaning responses to sex and sensation are very global. Also the thymus is very large and in later years becomes smaller. It has been said this, in these early years, gives the child a very primitive response to truth, right and wrong, and what later become moral codes. So the child only slowly develops any real sense of social morality.

But something so mysterious happens to us during this first seven years that once done it can never be undone. The Roman Catholic Church recognises this by saying that if they can have the first seven years of a child's life, that is all they need to insure a lifelong influence. Napoleon also observed that as the twig is bent, so the tree will grow. This is borne out by seeing the cases of children who have been lost and brought up by animals during these formative years. Even with the best tuition they never learn to become a self aware personality as we know it. Time is a mystery to them, and even though their brain size and function is normal, they never approach the usual capabilities that education gives to modern women and men. So, in the first cycle we pass through an incredible process of learning. This includes motor movements, speech, relationship to ourselves and to our environment. And that means learning a vast amount about what is useful, entertaining or harmful; about what responses we get from others, and developing habits of response that may be difficult to change in later years. We learn a sense of personal awareness and move toward becoming an individual. In other words, we learn to say "I" and know what we mean.

Steiner also says that during this first stage of development the developing inner forces are working to transform the body of the child from one that was inherited from the parents, to one that represents the full personality of the child.

Something often overlooked about the stages of growth are ones emotional age.

From age zero we are completely dependent upon the loved person for our needs, physical, emotional and social. Great anger, jealousy or pain are felt if the loved one relates to anyone else, is lost, or threatens to leave. If we do not mature beyond this emotional age, in adulthood this enormous feeling reaction may also be felt at a time of emotional withdrawal of the partner, even if there is no sign of them withdrawing physically. In the infant and toddler there is a desire for unconditional love and a need to be always with the loved one. In an adult with this level of love, sex may be a part of the relationship, but the main need is a bonded connection. This is sometimes felt as a need to have the loved person want you as much, or as desperately, as you want/need them. Possibly the greatest fear, one that can trigger great anger or an enormous desire to placate or earn love, is the threat or fear of being abandoned.

7-14

The second cycle, from seven to fourteen, continues this growth. The concepts and association of ideas and emotions that began in the first cycle begin to be discovered by the child. The physical changes also prepare the growing personality for the next stage. The thymus gland decreases rapidly in size, allowing the development of a sense of right and wrong, and social responsibility. A sign of this physical and psychological growth is the losing of the milk teeth and the emergence of our adult teeth. This marks an entrance into a new maturity.

The child has learned, with the advent of its concepts and developing emotions, to create an inner world of its own. It is a world of heroes, danger and vivid imagination. As the thymus fades, and the sexual organs develop, the personality glides into the turbulent world of puberty and adolescence.

Sometimes it is already evident, even from the preceding cycle, the direction of interest and activity the child will take in maturity. Although for the very observant this might be seen in very early years, it becomes more evident as one approaches puberty.

In all a time of inner expansion. You begin to experience and test abilities in the broader sense of the outside world. You may learn to share and interact, controlling earlier instincts in favour of group dynamics.

14-21

This is the third cycle, from fourteen to twenty-one. During it we become conscious of ourselves in a new way, and with a different relationship to life. One might say we become "self conscious." The emotional range expands in all directions, and with this a new appreciation of music, art, literature and people begins. It is found for instance that at puberty the ability to distinguish subtler tones of colour and sound develops. Besides this the person might go through the difficult struggle of breaking away from home life and/or parental influence. It naturally produces conflict as the person learns some degree of independence. Also, the opposite sex, or sex as a urgent impulse, usually becomes all important as the new emotions pour in upon our personality.

Because of the new range of feelings, many youths experience a different relationship to religion and life's mysteries. All this, as one approaches twenty-one, produces an individual with some sense of social and individual responsibility, or if not that the beginning or a sense of a direction or life purpose. This might not be recognised as such at the time. But it is a time of searching for life purpose, independence, a realization of choices plus a testing of social and personal limitations as well as an awareness of a burgeoning sexuality. As this is a traumatic period of life for most of us, it is also likely to be a time of many unforgettable dreams.

The period is a time of adding maturity, dignity and poise to the person. If these changes have not occurred by twenty-one, then the person has in some way not covered necessary aspects of development, and both psychology and the law recognises that they are lacking maturity.
This period is one of great and sweeping changes, physically, emotionally, morally and mentally. Such enormous changes often do not occur without an experience of loss. In this case the world of childhood is fading, or it might even be torn away, leaving scars.

It is also a time when many new features of the personality have their beginning, i.e. the religious sense, appreciation of the beautiful, etc. Although such things have their beginnings here, they sometimes remain undeveloped until later years. Because of these changes, and because such a lot is being revealed in these years, it is obvious why so much thought should be given to early marriage. Because of one's changing viewpoint, the particular partner one would choose at seventeen or eighteen, is likely to be different to the partner chosen at twenty-one and beyond.

The emotional development at this age is possibly seen as initial uncertainty or clumsiness concerning emotional and sexual contact. It often involves desire to explore many relationships, unless there are forces of introversion or personal and social uncertainty at work. We are still finding out what our boundaries and needs are, and the sexual drive as at full flood.. Any partner we have at this time may be loved for ones own needs - rather than out of recognition of who the other person is. Great romantic feelings and spontaneous love which are often difficult to maintain in face of difficulties.

21-28

The cycle that follows from twenty-one to twenty-eight, can more or less be called a process of enlargement and refinement. It is the period that we mentally and emotionally enter into adulthood. We start to build the foundations of our careers and intimate relationships with a driving energy that we hope will gain us entry and respect in the larger world.

One of the most marked features is the developing sense of discrimination. The faculties of insight, intuition, judgement and understanding begin to come to the fore. The personality softens and begins to mellow. The sparks of interest that were awakened in the previous cycles begin to be developed along more definite lines. The abilities of the last cycle also flourish. The adult emotional age may begin to emerges if one has successfully grown through the previous levels. This shows as a growing sense of recognising needs of ones partner yet not denying ones own. It is followed by an ability to be something for the partners sake without losing ones own independence or will. One becomes more aware of the issues that colour or influence relationship, and meeting them in cooperation with others. Independence and connection can appear together instead of opposite ends of a spectrum. You move toward becoming caring sexual partners through discovering each others needs and vulnerability.

In this period you will begin to confront the issue that you were either born with, or arose through the challenges and pains of your infancy and childhood. These usually show as the way you handle intimate relationships, whether you can really meet in partnership with the opposite sex, and how you respond to the external world, its challenges and opportunities.

At this time what is revealed may not be addressed as a personal problem or issues to be healed or re-evaluated. They will be faced more directly later if they are not dealt with now.

28-35

The changes become more subtle as the years pass. The next cycle from twenty eight to thirty-five, for instance, is one where the creative process of mind becomes most active. Researchers and inventors seem to make their greatest advances during these years. It is interesting to note that physical science finds evidence of the reason for this in the fact that the association centres of the brain come to their peak efficiency at about thirty-five years of age.

This is even more interesting when we see that most of the great religious teachers and philosophers came to some vital experience at thirty-five. Jesus, Buddha, Paul, Dante and Jacob Behmen were all in the region of thirty-five at the point of their greatest insights. It would seem then, that if there is an inspirational influence at work in the life, it would possibly reach its peak during these years in and around thirty-five.

Here we take stock of ourselves and the emotional influences that have shaped our personality. We begin to determine what is us and what traits we have been pressured by family, peers or society to adopt.

35-42

From the thirty-fifth to the forty-second year, depending upon one's personality and what one's circumstances allow, one begins to feel a new restlessness. In some degree a desire to share whatever one has gained through life with others comes to the surface. Thus we find many successful business men building libraries, or aiding colleges and the arts at this period in their life. What has been developed or realised can be taken to greater subtlety during this period. This is almost like unfolding something, perhaps similar to the way a flower unfolds a bud that has been developing in earlier phases of its growth.

This is when we reassess the results of what we are doing externally in our life. Our relationships, careers, habits and the ways we interact are all put under scrutiny and modified or changed. It’s a time of facing up to what does and what doesn’t satisfy us.

You may reach heights or realisation and creativity not touched previously. The profound breakthrough of ones innate genius that emerges around this time will no doubt be expressed in some degree. However, whatever is attained or realised will be enlarged and synthesised in later periods.

42-49

In the next cycle from forty-two until forty-nine a major change usually takes place. It is as if one takes all of one's life experience up till this age and begins to digest it, and extract from it new ideals and a new direction in life. There is often tremendous unrest in this period and that following it. The unlived aspects of life cry out to be recognised and allowed. The desire to make a mark in life if it has not already been achieved presses for action here.

At this point it appears to many of us that we have reached the mid point of our life and from here on there will be a decline. Even if this is not so it is often felt very strongly and acted upon in one way of another. People change partners, life directions, and even attempt major personal changes, although these latter may have begun in the last cycle.

Also, the emotional age and the maturing of love may at last show signs of an unconditional love. If this is not appearing in small degree, it might be one is still locked in earlier ages. Strangely, many of us maintain the emotional age of a child right into mature years, feeling all the fear of abandonment, jealousy and possessiveness of our childhood. Many divorces and new directions appear around this period.

In these years we move from old stereotypical roles with a new found confidence in our individuality. We are prepared to please our self, rather than society and gain a real understanding of our uniqueness, accompanied by a sense of urgency to express our true self before it gets too late.

49-56

In this, and the next cycle from forty-nine to fifty-six, and the periods that follow, the physical changes bring about a mental or spiritual climax. The decline of physical prowess and vitality, forces the person to direct their attention inwards more frequently. Any problems of our personality, such as maladjustment and our repressions, will undoubtedly become more urgent in these years. This reacts upon one's marriage and professional life alike. The problem is that we have to learn to live with ourselves in a new way. We slowly have to adapt to our new-old body, and habits of long-standing do not die easily.

This is when we take an inventory of our life. It's a time of spiritual questioning and review of our life purpose. If we haven't successfully understood who we are by this stage and achieved our goals, then depression, moodiness and turmoil will plague both our waking life and our dreams.

56-63

This period is often a time of inner tranquility and acceptance. At peace with oneself and more accepting of where we are and what we have achieved marks this period. But many things that were lying unlived within you might arise at this time, either as a form of unrest, or as directly living out those things that duty or work - or even self restraints - kept you from doing or being.
Usually your life situation begins to change in this stage. There is the start of a great shift and adjustment, both in terms of external activities, but also in how you deal with and feel about relationships. Part of the difficulty is that you have lived a long life as a younger person, and the old ways of dealing with things is often difficult to let go of as things change. The opportunity to experiment more fully in life helps you to reassess yourself and what new way of relating and being suits you or is satisfying.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung and others such as Nietzsche developed a whole theory about this period of life that he called Individuation. Perhaps the influence of this began in the last periods during the forties, but becomes more marked now. As an individual we may come to recognise that our make-up is formed out of the collective experience of our family and the culture we have been exposed to. The question, "Who am I," leads us to look more fully into what makes us who we are. This awareness and the insight gained from it transforms us. The change is that of becoming more fully independent of the forces that formed us. This means we create something new of who we are, and perhaps leave something of this new self in the world by what we do, create or live. Not every one undertakes this diving into the depths of self to discover ones core being.

To quote from the website Soul-Guidance, "Individuation means that one becomes a person, an individual, a totally integrated personality. It is a process of self realization during which one integrates those contents of the psyche that have the ability to become conscious. It is a search for totality. It is an experience that could be formulated as the discovery of the divine in yourself, or the discovery of the totality of your Self. This does not always happen without pain, but it is necessary to accept many things that normally we would shy away from. Once a person has accepted the contents of his unconsciousness and has reached the goal of the individuation process, he is conscious of his relationships with everything that lives, with the entire cosmos."

63-70

Now we have deeper acceptance and understanding of the people in our life. We appreciate the differences between us and our friends and look to the good rather than the bad in people. This is a period where our accumulated experience seeks new creative outlets.

A particularly noticeable process that occurs here is a conscious or unconscious sifting of life experience and moving toward what is the essence and best of what one has been learned from the years and experiences. Sometimes, if you can actually be aware of and work with this process, it leads to a sense of being lost or uncertain. By this is meant that for most of us external needs have dictated the direction of much that we have done or was needed of us. Now a great deal of this external pressure is removed. With its loss you realise that a great many choices or directions are open to you. It is like standing at cross roads with many directions. Which one do you want to take? Often it needs you to stand and observe before any direction from your own core wishes emerges. If during your life you have never worked at dealing with the difficulties and weaknesses or pains innate in you, then this period can lead to great confusion and the meeting of many shadows that you may not yet have developed the skills to deal with previously.

This is also a time in life when natural inner processes can lead you to a greater awareness of what lies beyond death. Things fall away naturally if you let them. A greater detachment from things of the world arises and this in itself is a foretaste of death in which you can let go of all that you have held on to.

70-77

If the issues met in the previous cycle have been dealt with, then there is a new awareness of the subtle sides of life, and a changed relationship with those you love or come in contact with. There is a greater unconditional love and acceptance. By this is meant that awareness of the depths and subtleties of ones own self are known more fully. If you are a person who has an active inner life, it can happen that the huge harvest of gathered life experience that was sifted and synthesised into clearer and more streamlined, or simpler concepts and meanings, is now expressed in your life and dealings with others. You may not be as powerful and active in the outer world, but you are gaining strength and effectiveness on people's inner life if you are still healthy.

77-Onwards

During the three preceding periods a new self was developed. This emerged out of a summary and synthesis or all that you had lived. Perhaps, if you gave attention to your inner life, doorways of perception were opened through which you saw how your present life is a continuum of the long past, of ancestors and other influences. From this new self and widened perceptions you are acting and living in the world in a different way. The essence of the purpose, love and ideas you lived by is given new expression.

As we have seen, the various physical changes have interacted with the spark of awareness lit at birth, causing changes in consciousness and attitude. Might we not speculate then, by saying that the biggest physical change of all-death - may be but a pre-requisite for yet another cycle of life; an initiation into an entirely new type of awareness? In fact it can happen that from the last cycle onwards, if you dare to experience your inner life reasonably fully, you will already have experienced what naked awareness is like, or have penetrated what is called death in some way.

Our Mission Statement:

2009-11-18T17:58:00.000-08:00

The Consciousness Collective offers a new approach to communication between the individual, the collective, the connection, the environment, human sexuality, human expression, human understanding and the story of you within the world. How you see yourself as part of the world and how the world sees you. This approach is driven by the intrinsic value of condemning nothing, the paradox, the mysterious, the talent residing within, the creativity, the emergence of expression and the merging of polarity energies in sexuality, in love, in mind.

The Consciousness Collective partnership model aligns the interests of the individual that is part of the world to the scientific and religious communities that have been in a state of duality and conflict for some time now. We wish to bridge this duality. We wish to help you with your acceleration in your understanding of your own sexuality, your own freedom, your own expression, your own religiousness, your own freedom to choose the highest potential of you.

Our philosophy is guided by our core principles of understanding, acceptance, commitment, integrity, balance and an overall dedication to remove all of the barriers that keep us from love and truth. Our commitment to these ideals govern each individual as much as the oneness of the collective.

A Collective:

2009-10-10T17:43:00.000-07:00

A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common objective. Collectives are also characterised by attempts to share and exercise political and social power and to make decisions on a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis. Collectives differ from cooperatives in that they are not necessarily focused upon an economic benefit or saving (but can be that as well).

As commonly used, individual refers to a person or to any specific object in a collection. In the 15th century and earlier, and also today within the fields of statistics and metaphysics, individual means "indivisible", typically describing any numerically singular thing, but sometimes meaning "a person." (q.v. "The problem of proper names"). From the seventeenth century on, individual indicates separateness, as inindividualism.[1] Individuality is the state or quality of being an individual; a person separate from other persons and possessing his or her own needs, goals, and desires.

Ideas are born from solitude just like the match makes a flame. That idea is then passed off to another to bring about growth on the idea similarly to the flame being lit to the wick of a candle that lights another wick of a candle. The one constant thing about an idea like a flame is that it can only keep growing bigger and brighter from it's first inception.

That is exactly what this collective is about. We are about the freedom of the individual idea. The solitude one thing that makes up a person and their freedom. No man is an island though just like a candle cannot burn forever all on its own in the night and expect to light up the darkness. The flame must be lit onto the next candle and then onto the next and so on and so fourth until all of the night becomes bright. We are a group of individuals all with a sole purpose to utilize our light, our talent, our communication, our passion, our love and to bring about change as a collective through creative pursuits in action.

Our areas of expertise will be in the ranges of meditation, music, film, photography, literature, writing. We will have a dedicated space where each floor will represent each talent, each group of people will work together on various projects with individual ideas that will be brought together collectively. It will be much like a school for the gifted student and teacher that exists in everyone. Everyone will have the choice to work on their own and submit work to the collective or to work together collectively and produce works. This will provide harmonious flow of creativity, passion and excellence. Everything will be done under the name of the consciousness collective and this name will be known all over the globe but will reside in NYC.

We are all connected to everyone in this world through at least six people. Because we are all connected to everyone in this world there will always be someone who will be of help to this group. There are painters, film makers, photographers, poets, philosophers, lawyers, financial experts, real estate agents who all can benefit from this type of connection.

Financially the reason why the economic state is as such is not only due to improper uses of funds but also because of the media and its ideas that there is not enough in the world to take care of one-self. An example would be the circulation of money. When you watch the news and listen to the reporter tell you there is not enough money to go around for everyone you believe them so you stop spending money, then you stop the circulation of money out of fear that there is not enough, this creates the collapse of the financial market. If I have a dollar and I pass it onto Jon Doe and Jon Doe gives it to Jane Doe and Jane Doe gives it to Ron Doe and etc etc. Then the dollar has had the chance to pass through everyone's hand and has been utilized but if I keep the dollar to myself and never give it to anyone then everyone that falls after me remains empty handed as far as my circulation is concerned. So the circulation of funds is very important in any flow of economic states.

Politically everything is made up, you have no proof that political agendas are even real. You watch things on TV and believe TV to be your reality. This is the problem with your story in life. Your story is based off of something electronic. The only reason why politics works is because politicians know that political division exists inside you first so you will buy into anything that resonates outside of you whether it is good for you or is not good for you. That is not their concern. So your belief of good and bad plays on the TV and you eat it up like bad food and digest it and it becomes part of your story, your life. You give your power away to the same people you blame for your life being in the state of affairs that it is in.

Religion takes on the same approach of you having to focus on something outside of yourself. God is fear mongering, God is angry with you, God is watching you do shameful acts. God is calling you a sinner. Ever notice that God is doing more harm to you through the belief systems that are given to you from other Human Beings Mouths? You ever wonder why that is? Because just like politics, religion is also made up. God is real, God is true because God is you. All of your beliefs about everything are actually crippling you from seeing who you really are because all of the belief systems you have been given are not even your own.

Physics has proven that like attracts like. If like attracts like then wouldn't you say that fear attracts more fear, starvation more starvation, anger more anger, sadness more sadness in the same as happiness attracts happiness, abundance more abundance.

This collective is not about my beliefs, what I think is right or wrong but what I do know this collective is about is the path through the two extremes that the pendulum always swings to whether you are on one side or the other. Your beliefs are meaningless just sit next to a river for a few days and watch it, the sun will rise, the sun will set, nature will show you it's song and it will not care whether you believe it exists or not, it will not care whether you are a democrat or a republican, a christian or a jew, from Antarctica or Africa.

This collective is about bringing man back to his roots, back to his creative self, back to his harmonious flow with nature, back to his flow with the river, back to his understanding of who he/she is. This is about the idea that is born from solitude then watered, nurtured and grown to its full maximum potential. The seed is never concerned about whether it is going to make it through the soil but it knows what water is, it knows what sunlight is and it knows where to go naturally. Human beings have that same exact potential. Don't take my word for it it is your experience, your birthright.
