I notice more events of synchronicity when I am aware of connectedness. I see them as indicators that
one is "on the right path" so to speak, or what Castaneda's don Juan called "affirmations from the world
around us".
One night while I was driving and listening to the radio and having a particularly good evening with many
realizations, I was smiling and looking at the moon on the water and thinking to myself, "this is one of
those perfect moments", and the radio played a song by Pink called "fuckin'perfect" - it was the first
time I'd ever heard it, and I listen to that station quite a bit so it had just come out.
Another night I was noticing how many amazing things I learn from myself in connectedness and for some
reason the part in the movie "Braveheart" where the crazy guy from Ireland says "In order to find his
equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to god" came to mind. And at the exact same time I had that thought
the radio was playing and the lyric was "talkin' to myself because I am my own consultant" which is from
Lil' Wayne, "6 foot 7 foot".
A third event that happened recently was I had watched "The Secret" for the second or third time and
the part where the guy talks about expecting checks in the mail instead of bills had struck me - I had a
moment of connectedness with it and really gave myself to the fantasy and then completely let it go.
Part of why it was easy to completely let go is I never get checks in the mail, nor have any reason to
expect one. But sure enough, a couple days later I got a check from the auto dealer I had bought my
car from - it was refunding the registration fees for the vehicle. Not the greatest miracle, but still totally
unexpected. I couldn't believe it - not that it was a huge amount of money, but I never get checks and
I had "created" getting this one.
Another small thing that is a big thing personally was during another good night of connectedness at
home, I was making my son some chicken nuggets, and it's the kind of bag with a resealable zip-lock
thing. Anyway, I'd never opened one of these bags and had it tear perfectly along the perforation and in
one piece. They always leave the perforation and rip the plastic and I have to start from the other end,
and even then there are pieces left on the bag where it didn't rip perfectly. So I was aware of this and
before opening this bag I pulled together my intent and saw the piece of plastic ripping off perfectly
along the perforation in one piece... and it did. :) So I have all these little tokens that I find and collect
as messages from the universe, and now I've added to them the top of a chicken nugget bag. :D
I mention these small things because if you've followed this blog you know that big things are
composed of smaller things.
I also wanted to give my perspective on synchronicity. From my experience of the wheel of time/
electromagnetic spectrum/Ouroboros, one sees that all events are simply different emanations of the
spectrum meeting eachother in infinity. So the more aware of this Oneness you become, the more
everything appears as synchronistic, because things that appeared as unrelated before now appear
very precisely related and intentional.
For me, this is more evidence that one has to become "nothing" in the separate ego sense, and then
the connection with the All is more apparent, and this appearance as "All" is Oneness.
Nothing - All - One.
This Castaneda quote comes to mind: "a warrior, aware of the unfathomable mystery that surrounds him and aware of his duty to try to unravel it, takes his rightful place among mysteries and regards himself as one. Consequently, for a warrior there is no end to the mystery of being, whether being means being a pebble, or an ant, or oneself. That is a warrior's humbleness. One is equal to everything."

You are Humanity
The pettiness and the greatness of all humanity is mirrored in the individual self, just like a hologram.
In fact, work on the personal self does not truly lead to happiness or peace unless it leads to the human
being, that essence in each of us that is generic, homogeneous and unitive.
It might help to think that you possess two ways of perceiving - as the individual and as all of humanity.
Can you see it? Can you now see why it is said that Jesus died for the sins of the world?
Can you see that to resolve the conflict, the divisions in yourself, is to solve it for humanity?
From the personal view, we may appear better than our neighbors - more wise, more knowing, more
integrated. But from the human view, our division is the same as every division; the wars, violence,
poverty, ignorance, etc, we see in the world about us is our internal strife manifest. We are responsible.
The lack of unity within the individual is reflected in the world at large.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhFrZ4-nxa4
"The experience of responsibility that is being presented here is the experience of awareness
of oneness, awareness that, at the great microcosmic level, we are not separate. So if, in fact,
we experience this unity, this non-separateness, you cannot help being responsible."

Love - Part 3
Well, it's February. What more can I say on love?
Unconditional love is ultimately the unconditional recognition of Oneness/Allness.
It is seeing yourself in others and others in yourself. But I do not mean just people.
I do not consider you just a person in a body. You are the entire spectrum, the All.
And everything that exists exists within this spectrum that is you. So Oneness and love are not ideas,
beautiful thoughts or fantasies. It is the unconditional truth.
Love is resonance, and can appear at any level when alignment/recognition occurs. It can be felt.
So when you love your dog or chocolate silk torte, that is one piece of the hologram that is All.
Imagine the whole spectrum resonating in love/self-recognition - I AM.
To view it in negative terms, imagine the absence of fear, separation, otherness, discordia.

More on Ouroboros
What I have called the Ouroboros is called the electromagnetic spectrum by science, the Wheel of Time
and the Eagle's emanations by Castaneda, the Rainbow Serpent by Australian aborigines, etc.
When I have described it, it's easier to start from the very small and see how things dream larger
communities together which then become new levels of dreaming/consciousness/awareness.
But this direction shows how we are dreamed.
I must emphasize that when we wake up and see the connectedness and our place in it as human beings
specifically, but as the whole spectrum as well - that all these tiny things exist within you - then you
can be a realized dreamer. You can change the unconscious direction of the flow of the river,
the arrow of time. You can dream your DNA and put to use the so-called "junk" DNA. This is how we heal.
By consciously dreaming with the unconscious (below your conscious awareness) autonomic nervous system, a part of which is called the sympathetic nervous system (Exactly! Sympathy. Dreaming) and another part called the enteric nervous system: http://www.psyking.net/id36.htm.
Do you see the relation - the gut, the dan tien, Castaneda's area of the will, sympathy, dreaming...
So, we are being dreamed, and we are also the dreamer, and we are the dream.
Wise Hermes made a point to say "As above so below, as below so above." It is a two way street:
That which is below is like that which is above, that which is above is like that which is below, to do the miracles of one only thing. And as all things have been arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
But until we see the Oneness, the traffic goes mostly one way - we are being dreamt by our genes
and our environment. You can wait for your genes to "adapt", or you can be an adept at dreaming. :)
Castaneda has some applicable teachings:
"When I talk about time, I am not referring to something which is measured by the movement of a clock. Time is the essence of attention; the Eagle's emanations are made out of time; and properly, when one enters into any aspect of the other self, one is becoming acquainted with time.
The wheel of time is like a state of heightened awareness which is part of the other self, as the left side awareness is part of the self of everyday life. It can physically be described as a tunnel of infinite length and width; a tunnel with reflective furrows. Every furrow is infinite, and there are infinite numbers of them. Living creatures are compulsorily made, by the force of life, to gaze into one furrow. To gaze into it means to be trapped by it, to live that furrow.
Will belongs to the wheel of time. It is something like the runner of a vine, or an intangible tentacle which all of us possess. A warrior's final aim is to learn to focus it on the wheel of time in order to make it turn. Warriors who have succeeded in turning the wheel of time can gaze into any furrow and draw from it whatever they desire. To be trapped compulsorily in one furrow of time entails seeing the images of that furrow only as they recede. To be free from the spellbinding force of those grooves means that one can look in either direction, as images recede or as they approach."
Consider also influence and effluence. As sleepers, we are influences by the stars, the fates,
the Matrix, other sleepers... everything! Because we are at the bottom rung of Jacob's ladder - the EM spectrum, and "higher" frequencies rule "lower" ones as a rule. This what Paracelsus
points to when he says "a strong will subdues a weaker will." The strongest force known to
science is called the strong force. It holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus
of an atom. The weakest force is gravity which acts on galaxies, planets, holds objects to
the earth. So you can see we are speaking about opposite ends of the spectrum:
The strong subdues the weak. The extremely small dream the large. This is the the rule for unawakened beings, but not the entire truth. When we see the Oneness and can change the direction of the arrow of time, we can dream the gods, the stars, the fates, the Kingdom of Heaven! This relates to Gnostic freedom from heimarmene.

more on mirror awareness
Mirror shares the same root as miracle:
mid-12c., from O.Fr. miracle, from L. miraculum "object of wonder" (in Church L., "marvelous event caused by God"), from mirari "to wonder at," from mirus "wonderful," from*smeiros, from PIE *(s)mei- "to smile, be astonished" (cf. Skt. smerah "smiling," Gk. meidan "to smile," O.C.S. smejo "to laugh;" see smile).
Other words from this root are mire, admire, mirabile, mirage, mirth...
Reflect:
early 15c., "to divert, to turn aside, deflect," from O.Fr. reflecter (14c.), from L. reflectere (see reflection). Of mirrors or polished surfaces, to shine back light rays or images, 1520s; meaning "to turn one's thoughts back on" is c.1600.
An astute person might notice that our ability to reflect has become a reflex; i.e. automatic, unconscious.
Recall the chapter "Breaking the Mirror of Self-reflection" in Power of Silence by Castaneda.
I have discussed the importance of words and the green language. Perhaps one can now imagine that
those who have had knowledge of the mirror nature of the Universe have encoded that knowledge in
language. Ancient languages were often written from right to left. Da Vinci used mirror writing.
Others hid words or phrases in words that can be read differently backwards (anadrome) or words read
the same forwards or backwards (palindromes) and words read the same upside-down (ambigrams)...

" A sorcerers' increased energy, derived from the curtailment of their self-reflection, allows
their senses a greater range of perception. The only worthwhile course of action, whether for
sorcerers or average men, is to restrict our involvement with our self-image. What a nagual
aims at with his apprentices is the shattering of their mirror of self-reflection.

Each of us has a different degree of attachment to his self-reflection. And that attachment is
felt as need. It is possible for sorcerers, or average men, to need no one, to get peace,
harmony, laughter, knowledge, directly from the spirit--to need no intermediaries. For you
and for me, its different. I'm your intermediary and my teacher was mine. Intermediaries,
besides providing a minimal chance--the awareness of intent --help shatter peoples mirrors
of self-reflection."

Infinity is the mirror/reflection of Nothing/the Void
8/infinity = 0 and its reflection 0
The right side of your body is connected to the left side of your brain, and vice-versa.
Do you think some wires got crossed, or do you see a mirror involved, a dimensional twist?
This is a dissection of the brain stem, the mediator between brain and body.
Do you see the grid/net marked "Decussation of superior peduncle" and the second
Decussation below it? And between them runs the RAS - the reticular activating system,
which is responsible for sleep-wake transitions.
Can you imagine how the two grids/nets act as filters for the above and below; and how
our somatic mind and our thinking mind contribute different qualities to the dream?

Communication - Part 4
Communication is happening all the time, whether you intend it or not.
Being aware of what is being communicated determines the quality of life.
We are communicating with Spirit all the time - two ways (sending and receiving) - we are constantly
announcing to Spirit who we are (by our actions) and Spirit is constantly affirming who we say we are.
(I recall a catchy phrase often used by some extra-terrestrial 'walk-ins' - "The Universe constantly
rearranges Itself to accommodate your picture of reality.")
So if you don't like what you see, what the Universe is telling you, you have to look at what you
are telling the Universe.
We are communicating with the air around us constantly, inhaling and exhaling. Do you know how to
interpret this communication? Do you know how to enhance it?
We are receiving impulses through the 5 senses almost constantly, but we almost never listen, not
to mention a 6th sense.
When we eat food, do we remember to savor? Do you talk with the spirit of the cocoa plant
when you take a bite of chocolate? What more does the coffee bean have to tell? Do you listen
to the nicotiana spirit as you take your cigarette break? Are you even aware that communication
is happening? Do you realise what more can be known when you truly enter communion with life?
What isn't communication? When does this not apply?
Communication is the acknowledgement of Oneness in our dream of separation.
It is a Holy ceremony/sacrament.

Ouroboros as described by Castaneda
I have no arguments with this description - it is just as I experience the Ouroboros:
"For the shamans of ancient Mexico, time was something like a thought; a thought thought by something unrealizable in its magnitude. The logical argument for them was that man, being part of that thought which was thought by forces inconceivable to his mentality, still retained a small percentage of that thought; a percentage which under certain circumstances of extraordinary discipline could be redeemed.
Space was, for those shamans, an abstract realm of activity. They called it infinity, and referred to it as the sum total of all the endeavors of living creatures. Space was, for them, more accessible, something almost down-to-earth. It was as if they had a bigger percentage in the abstract formulation of space. According to the versions given by don Juan, the shamans of ancient Mexico never regarded time and space as obscure abstracts the way we do. For them, both time and space, although incomprehensible in their formulations, were an integral part of man.
Those shamans had another cognitive unit called the wheel of time. The way they explained the wheel of time was to say that time was like a tunnel of infinite length and width, a tunnel with reflective furrows. Every furrow was infinite, and there were infinite numbers of them. Living creatures were compulsorily made, by the force of life, to gaze into one furrow. To gaze into one furrow alone meant to be trapped by it; to live that furrow.
A warrior's final aim is to focus, through an act of profound discipline, his unwavering attention on the wheel of time in order to make it turn. Warriors who have succeeded in turning the wheel of time can gaze into any furrow and draw from it whatever they desire. To be free from the spellbinding force of gazing into only one of those furrows means that warriors can look in either direction: as time retreats or as it advances on them.
Viewed in this manner, the wheel of time is an overpowering influence which reaches through the life of the warrior and beyond, as is the case with the quotations of this book. They seem to be strung together by a coil that has a life of its own. That coil, explained by the cognition of shamans, is the wheel of time."
