"The Idea of Perfect Knowledge"

         Perfect knowledge.  This idea is a trap.  It's unattainable.  There will always be dimensions of ignorance about any subject.  That is, an unfinished part of coming to know a thing or situation.  Knowledge will never have the final word.  But understanding transcends the knowledge and the ignorance and sees both as aspects of the one perception.  This is the open-ended immeasurable experience of infinite awareness.

       Infinite awareness includes infinitely more aspects than just space and time.  It also includes infinite qualities, infinite perceptions and modes of being.  Infinite sensations, memories, and perceptions.  Infinite experiences.  Infinite possibilities and incarnations into infinite manifestations of realities.

       As ego incarnations we do not consciously experience all these infinities simultaneously.  But they are always at hand and available to us to move our attention into.  The ego will have to dissolve to enter some of these dimensions but there remain infinitely other dimensions to explore in ego form.  And we may travel in and out of both modes at will.

"Have you hugged a cop today?"

"Have you hugged a cop today?"

Do it mentally, spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Think about the unbearable stress these overworked defenders of ours are suffering because of a runaway press whose prime directive is to fan flames of racial hatred for no other purpose than gaining viewers for their stinking television stations!!!

"Public Letter to Beloved Wife"

APRIL 03, 2015 FRIDAY

     I love you, Honey Bun.  Guten Morgan.
     Yesterday, I took my old e-ink Kindle with me as I walked to Food Lion on Dorchester Road. I stopped here and there to read a few pages of text in during my long walk. I was delighted to experience again the exceptional ease of reading in it in full daylight.  No glaring, no squinting.  They had truly created a great electronic book reader when they perfected the e-ink technology.
     The ebook was a course in learning Spanish.  I had bought this year's ago when you were still incarnate with me here in the so-called physical dimension. Again, I was delighted to learn that this book teaching Spanish covers many of the questions I am now having today in my active efforts to learn the world's languages.

     This world is not the same as when you were blessing it with your presence, Chris.  I mean, authorities are now discussing how to legalize self-driving cars.  Marijuana is legal in a growing number of states.  Engaging with people around the world online is commonplace.  Brutal religious wars and deadly racial hatred is sweeping the planet.  Available water is in shortening supply; the governor of California has taken the unprecedented act of passing laws to force people to cut their water consumption by 25 percent.  Road rage is rising everywhere resulting in angry murders.  And on and on the changes pile up as if the conscious Earth intends to crush the human animal into extinction.

LATER:

     I want to take another long walk, Honey Bun.  One of the longest.  This time down Dorchester Road toward Ashley Phosphate Road.  And then if I have strength I will turn right toward Rivers Avenue.  I will take my ebook again for studious rest stops.

     I love you so much, Chris.

"Higher Understanding"

     Humor too is a language which can dispel darkness.  And so are well-chosen images, arts, and music. Written language is good.  But language is also much broader than only written words.  Being natural and pure in spirit is an eternal expression of divine language.  Divine language is communication through creation; it is "communion" with each other as life and being, beyond thinking and willing things to happen.  Divine communion is something we are born with and come to remember after we finish our fugues into fantasy (illusion).  It's all good.  It's all now.  Even the dream -- it's all now. 

So what matter, words?

So what matter, words?

     There are as many reasons to agree with an idea as to disagree with it.  Expressing ideas is like whistling tunes.  Some are pleasing, some are not.  They are just tunes.  Ideas are just ideas.  Life goes on with or without them.  We feel our way through life, and whistle our tunes as we proceed.  What guides us is trust and faith that the universe knows what it is doing.

"To My Beloved Soulmate"

          I will never leave you.  You will never leave me.  How can we?  Ultimately we are all at the top of the mountain.  This is speaking metaphorically but expressing eternal truth at the same time.  Language is weak but reality is supreme.  Once existing and once in love -- forever existing in love.  You know this on the deepest levels of your being whether or not the awareness of it is temporarily shadowed by lessons to learn and things to do.  Many things catch our attention.  Many things we are built by nature to respond to in order to play our parts in the whole.  So it is alright for our egos to exist and to do there natural jobs.  But our higher understanding always knows the truth of all things at once.  We at one.  Just relax in that understanding, my precious darling.  We are eternal lovers and soulmates.  We and our bonding love are one and eternal.
