Life is mostly about one thing – ‘Relationships’! Take that away and life is a vacuum of existence with little meaning. Life with a history of poor personal relationships is a life wasted. Years ago I developed a fairly accurate ‘analysis technique’ to measure where a person has been in personal relationships and, from that, their chances of success in a world of ‘broken relationships’. The results often are life saving, if one pays attention beyond the ‘ego’.

Every personal relationship has a ‘value’ that can be placed on it with numbers. If people were open enough, they would want to know if they are qualified to enter the ‘Univers(ity)’ of relationships beyond ‘high school’. The results would shock most with an open mind which, I’ve found to be generally extremely conditional and judgmental. However, improvement is always possible if one has the accurate scores of their past from childhood to accept and, find ways to improve on a ‘relationship score’. If circumstances make it an unlikely possibility to improve on what has been the past qualifications, there are techniques properly administered to move one beyond the past ‘quality of love’. It is ALL of the reason each of us is here! Success in the field of money is not on the list of reasons why we are here, at best, it may provide the means to take the time to find out why we are here and how to make the ‘best possibilities of it’.

Two way high conscious communication is an attainment which can move one into a run for value in life and for humanity. Humanity is doomed without a high sense of communication. All the great inventions and medicines are of very low value without a sense of deep self love and the ability to create those deep relationships with another and, many others. The secret to ‘heaven on earth’ or, some semblance of it, is here at everyone’s disposal but for taking the time and awareness to be open to see it.

My experience is that if a person hasn’t had major success with relationships by the age of 30, chances are likely that nothing will change without ‘self learning techniques’ to elevate beyond the past. All other endeavors in life are secondary to the ‘art of relationships’, and that includes all spiritual and religious pursuits, which generally are ‘avoidance and denial’ ways. Life is a blessing …..really! It just takes a move beyond being a ‘clunker’ and moving in the direction of evolving consciousness!

My deepest apologies for any fragile egos! I get my kicks above the waistline…first! All moves on the chess board of life are first filtered through my open mind and heart, with no malice intended. At the turn of the 21st century while doing my ‘world’s first and largest free speech display in Los Angeles’, a voice came from I know not where but it asked me if I had the courage to also use the two most meaningful words in the English language ‘together’!

Immediately, I chuckled to myself as a voice came to me and said, “see, the ‘combo’ even evokes a form of joy in you”. No sooner had I marveled at the new name, then another voice (quite garbled I admit), came thru challenging my courage and sensibility! Since that moment, I have only primarily used it when Christians asked me my name at which time I warn them that they may not like it! On cue, they insist….after another warning and, my insistence for ‘discretion’, I announce ‘GodFuck’ and, explain why it’s such a ‘holy name’. Not sure I can describe the reactions but, to the more ‘conservative’, it’s a very puzzled look of ‘I don’t believe I had to listen to that’.

The more open minded people usually burst into a chuckle or laugh of approval. The name is a wonderful way to immediately learn all about a person and, with just my ‘holy’ name! Recently due to a rush of censoring by religious/spiritual cult groups on the internet, who deny their ‘cultishness’, I again heard that 21st century voice of freedom to use the name more to find out who’s awake and, who’s asleep.

As I’ve mentioned before, enlightenment was not as enjoyable as I thought it would be as nearly everyone would either ignore it or put up barriers to express the deep love and bliss I felt. Now, of course, I still feel even more love and bliss since I’ve dropped the ‘enlightenment trip’ which proved to be a real burden for the ‘ego’s of the masses. Everyone jumps up and claims they know love!

God! Fuck! Such craziness! One thing for sure, censorship in America and, the world is epidemic, not to mention the full expression of love!
*Stupid???(stream of consciousness)

Generally males who have little to do but pass time away often in ‘nefarious, mischeivous ways, might be referred to as ‘knuckleheads’. A stupid person; this word is used to express a low opinion of someone’s intelligence in a somewhat ‘lovable way’ with no harm intended. In the world of the more ‘spiritual/conscious’, this type of person is excavated mostly from ‘challenging, nice-to-forget’ memories of times gladly buried in, ‘just for the memories’.

A very nice acquaintance of mine, responding in a ‘bleeding heart’ way, recently admonished me for the use of one of my ‘favorite words’ by suggesting, in a bit of a huff, that it had an underlying point (which I would call ‘overlying’). She further stated (to quote and paraphrase her ‘take’) that it’s use in referring to people as, “knuckleheads”, “is a subtle form of ‘denigration and judgment’ of all who are only doing the best that they can in any given moment but who, for whatever reason, don’t measure up to our subjective
standards”.

“Those doing only the best that they can includes you and me” (not my words but, more on that in a moment), “neither of whom has achieved perfection last time I looked” (not my words again … I look at everyone as perfect until they show up as not having that ‘self’ acceptance and, sometimes as ‘knuckleheads’ in denial of their, uh, ‘higher selves’). “Categorizing in this way sets oneself *above* other people and, in doing so, fosters separation rather than acknowledging all as unique facets of the ‘Beloved’ ”, (not my terms or prior analysis, but they are of course ‘loved’ in a respectful way of their ‘potential’ and an ‘intuitiveness’ that they still travel with issues unresolved from a less than desirable childhood) “each precious and unique whether awake or asleep”.

Now, few males (females, too?) don’t have that ‘mischievous’ or, purely stupid way of behaving. This is particularly characteristic with the younger possessing a ‘still developing frontal cortex’ (that’s a good reason for the older ‘knuckleheads’ to elect the younger ‘knuckleheads’ to fight our wars while raping and pillaging as they go). There always needs to be room in communication for the positive use of ‘negative terms’ from people who are otherwise caring, loving, especially of their ‘perfect selves’!

Love criticism and, accept it as an opportunity to learn something that will round you out to be a healthier all around person. To ‘posture oneself’ as one who shuns criticism is to make one more and more lonely while becoming more and more unacceptable for meaningful connections. Invite others in with an openness to be ‘open to criticism’ and, to learn how to skillfully handle it in a positive way.

To insist on sheltering oneself with only positive words is to be in heavy denial of issues that lurk within while fearing their being touched and creating uncomfortable feelings and memories. Putting a ‘fresh coat of paint’ on a rusting car will do little to improve it’s performance and length of life. Wisdom in a ‘vacuum’ is but a delusion from the truth.

Not uncommonly, a person in a position of power, will seek ‘yes people’ to gather around them to be made to feel more secure rather than have the courage to trust their own choices. Weak people, who choose to not be at source for their decisions and take personal responsibility for success or failure, are merely ‘politicians’ looking for ways to always satisfy their egos. False comfort is sought in the need for approval, regardless of truth or authenticity.

Growth happens in accepting criticism and, to see what values are therein. To live in a teflon world or glass house always fearing other’s opinions, particularly about ones being, is to miss the many hidden dimensions of seeing and knowing who one really is. To enter into the world of ‘inner growth’ and to not see all aspects of oneself from the worst to the best, is to live in a false world. Positivity is to see the negative and find the positive within it. Criticism may be ill founded but, one who has found security within himself by not avoiding criticism, good or bad, will naturally rise to the occasion with a heartfelt response and, if necessary, absorb the information with heartfeltedness.

The control of money, written history, religion, wars, entertainment and, all ‘first achievements’ (landing on the moon, the birth control pill, computer, medical marvels, and, the invention of the ‘cup of noodles’) is a control slipping away from the white, often ‘arrogant’ male. Man in general has made a ‘technological mark’ to catapult him beyond the days of thousands of years of just ‘survival living from birth to death.

Inspite of the many incredible achievements of the white man, the means to a goal has often created more suffering than blessings for those innocently in harm’s way. Whether white, yellow, black or brown, man has one foot in his barbaric past throughout his penchant for accomplishment where power, control, and money accumulation are the order of the day frequently and, is motivated for the pleasure of sexual needs.

The rise of woman’s freedom and importance, particularly in the West, is diluting man’s reign and creating a much different and, hopefully in time, a more compassionate, healthy world. Sometimes it seems that this world has been a ‘prison planet’ where most are incarcerated into ways and means that have created needless suffering far exceeding the blessings and, bliss that harmony could surely bring.

It’s time to give birth to a new man and woman of consciousness, rather than rushing to have children way before the parents have reached a point of self love and worthiness to the betterment of all humans. If that same desire to have a family (often not planned) would be transferred to the inner growth of every human, the complaints of the world would begin to disappear. Jumping from the 1st grade to high school is a recipe for failure in growth, so it is in the journey of life. Children shouldn’t be a ‘russian roulette game’ especially when it comes to ‘readiness’ to give maximum love and opportunities for an evolving life. Parents create the voice of tomorrow and even when they live in a dereliction of love and wisdom from yesterday’s revolving door of endless generations that live in unconsciousness. The ‘greatest opportunity’ for a better human is waiting for the first time – NOW!

There’s ‘Heaven on Earth’ that plays a large part in the bliss that is available, as well as, a preparation for anything in the next dimension. Look the ‘gift horse’ in the mouth here and, expect to see the ‘ole same ole’ and, worse later! The methods to raise consciousness and find the best enjoyment in this earthly vacation are free for those who take the time to find them. Walking through life just in the ‘survival mode’ when not necessary is, an epidemic predilection.

Having a ‘spiritual center/community in Los Angles for 15 years, an unexpected ‘benefit’ was to learn ‘things’ about people that I had only read about, I certainly got more than I bargained for! With more than 3,000 who lived there over that time, many were a blessing, some where just there, and then there were the ungrateful ones, many of whom I was helping by having them stay for little or nothing ‘til they could get back on their feet. They were teachers of ‘the trap door’ in that many, no matter how much you make their lives better, are going to bring their unrepentant habits and ways with them even if you gave them ‘everything’. Many would be kicked out of a heaven the first day, others who were apathetic would last a little longer. I remember one charming little guy who had graduated from Harvard, but immediately made himself at home and got drunk. Only those with a passion for living, loving, giving, and with common sense appreciation would survive the ‘trap door’!

Particularly in America, there is a sense of ‘heaven sent opportunities’ here however, most opt out for the material, self serving ways while ignoring the ‘trap door’ for those serving primarily their ego gratification. It’s all very karmic and, life being moment to moment, very foolish! A false sense of who one is, is very often the illusion that follows most like a shadow waiting for the ‘bell to toll’.

Earth has a built-in trap door that ejects everyone into ‘somewhere beyond the rainbow’ and, that surely is a place that everyone who is rich goes. Before being thankful, that means ‘only rich in love and it’s manifestations with the self and hopefully, others’. Conditional love is ‘trap door love’ and, contrary to one’s ego, not enough to avoid the perils that await one here in this life and, beyond. Grab all the love while it’s in season, otherwise called a ‘lifetime’.

America has been largely a ‘Judeo-Christian’ country but, times are changing. Slowly it will become a triad religious ‘Judo-Christian-Islamic’ country. Christianity’s foundation is being corroded not only by ‘apathetic Christians’, who have become like ‘zombies’ yawning at the perceived obligation of following the ‘right path’ but, religious scientists are shining a light on the fallacies uncovered in the purported story of Jesus.

Jews have stayed away from the claims of a Jesus even existing contrary to Christian-Islamic belief. The ‘Islamic’ ideology has downgraded Jesus into ‘one of the prophets.
Religious scientists have been unable to uncover any ‘credible evidence’ on biblical claims of anyone resembling a Jesus but instead have found the purported claim to be one of many cultures down the ages with similar stories like the ‘virgin birth’ and ascension into a heaven.

My own thoughts are that we all have the ability without any scriptures, from observation and experience, to continue to ‘rise’ in the light from an unawakened state to discover a higher consciousness involving the clarity of mind and heart merging into a ‘godly’ intelligence. This state of enlightenment is the ‘new humanity’ that, although small at this point, will continue to evolve as new knowledge is revealed and, faith in the religions of the world is eroded as merely bastions of ancient practices continually perpetrated by ‘do gooders’ that find it to be a basis of survival. As the religious leaders slowly become educated by the scientific proof, contrary to their beliefs, the religions will become more and more distilled down, merging into the conscious-spiritualness of an awakening mankind.

‘Pandora’s box’ on the truths of religions formations is open to those paying attention and ‘hot for the truth’ of life here and now. Although there are no ‘gold paved streets or, to the Muslims, 72 virgins in an illusory heaven’, infinite revelations of more luminous dimensions will unveil themselves to those that uncloud the being that has become the prisoner of a ‘mishmash’ of truths and lies that have been passed down from generations to generation. ‘Truth shall set one free’ is free for all who let go of others words and, find the answer within.

Trust your friends, neighbors, co-workers, mate, to always be sensitive, loving, open, intelligent? Think again! “Out to Lunch”, is shape shifting ‘a la carte’ and, ‘fast food’, sooner than you could predict! Whether it’s the ‘Genetically Modified Food’ or the chemicals in non-organic food or, the obsession with ‘entertainment’ and stocking the house with new toys, people that you know or, don’t know yet, are quite different than you who are focused on conscious, spiritual, open, positive living!

Nice people are basically ‘robotic drones’ capable of having rare moments of being real, live, loving human beings but, don’t count on that for more than a few minutes a day! People are a favorite ‘constant study of mine’ to look for that elusive ‘gold nugget of consciousness’ that shines with it’s own provocation. Setting ‘the bar of expectation’ real low makes the experience easier. Years ago when I began focusing with ‘lazar like focus’ on being more positive, much to my slow awakening to it, most everyone else was still living in their ‘ho-hum whatever’ world. There were almost no others who were on the same plane to relate to without shifting down the ‘bar of communication’ to their
apathetic, comfort level.

People become like ‘aliens’ when one evolves into the opening of consciousness and, sees that people are actually following ancient paths trodden by dead people to little or no success of any sense of enlightenment. Stay light and on the surface and, almost everyone seems nice! Reach to the slightest depths of consciousness and people, with rare exception, shift into various forms of fear expressing that fear as everything from apathy to anger. These ‘aliens’ have their heads filled with deep chasms of programming for survival and, trod the same old ruts they’ve deepened for most of their lives. They walk over their future ‘grave yards’ as ghouls in a trance. They are essentially invisible when it comes to opening up to life, finding out who they are and, why they are here as well as how to find that that purpose is within them!

When near everyone seems to become like ‘just being in a body’, then one has arrived at a consciousness that is real, alive, compassionate and loving in all forms that are available to become a living human ‘being human’! (stream of consciousness)

Except for the rare exception, marriage partners lose conscious intelligence after the first couple of years. My observation, particularly of those I’ve been close to, is that couples tend to slip into a kind of ‘coma’ with awareness being transferred to work, survival, economic accumulation of the material, entertainment, and general dissatisfaction with the status quo.

Time becomes the enemy as more and more unnecessary responsibilities become accumulated to satisfy the replacement of inner growth. Life moves to the ‘outside’ and, exists as window dressing. The only way that they can be saved is to ‘reinvent’ their priorities and focus on their inner blossoming and, that of each other in a more meaningful merger, perhaps leading to a real marriage beyond a ‘practical marriage’.

Governments and religions count on the ‘dumbing down’ of people to fall into a ‘malaise’ that gives their power over to them in exchange for ‘business’ that removes them from real self thinking. Today is the information age which largely corrects much of the misinformation we were accustomed to accept without questioning but, it takes awareness and time to ‘reprogram’ or, reboot with new information as well as support for methods to evolve into ‘being humans consciously’! It’s easy driving 70 miles per hour to miss the beauty of the infinite small things in life – missing the trees and just seeing the forest!

Christians use the term ‘saved’, as to mean a union with a God, that no one understands. To be ‘saved’ starts from within by finding the infinite source of ‘gold’ called love! Always be pulling back the curtains of consciousness/awareness to see what wonders of bliss lie hidden in plain sight for those that value life’s real riches! Marriage is always to yourself first!

Love the one you’re with – that’s your soul mate!! We select who we are with, based on being on the same ‘wavelength’ when meeting. For good or bad, it’s the best that could be done! Celebrate who you are or, at least, who you’ve uncovered at this point. Life is ‘payback’ and we get where we are, but for our lack of understanding and acceptance. It’s make it or, break it.

Soul Mates are frequently ‘April Fools jokes’ or a ‘lean time under the Christmas tree’ but, that’s each one’s creation. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Meeting a ‘love mate’ is a rush that often clouds the brain to see it’s not what one is capable of handling. I look at couples, and quietly laugh to myself that they stay together because they agreed to and/or, the pain of separation is too great to imagine with the mutual responsibilities that have merged with together. Partnering or marriage becomes like luging a line of shopping carts every day after year after year!

‘Hope for a better tomorrow’, often is based on illusion to keep the boat afloat inspite of the incessant leaks that manifest into ‘yelling’ to blame the other for not keeping the sailing smooth. Plugging the leaks by having a good day here and there or, shopping for a ‘happy toy’ to avoid the reality that will show up soon, is applying ’water paint’ to the fence on a nice day before the rains tomorrow.

Consider the best solution is to lovingly and responsibly convert the relationship into a friendship that will be much better than the ups and downs that wear love out. Many are not ready for growing meaningful relationships and, had best stay ‘footloose and fancy free’. Staying loose is a sensible opportunity to get to know the self and, how to ‘let go’ of what creates the leaks in the ‘soul-mate love boat’. Soul Mates are real when two people find their ‘love of self’ first. Repair and renew the solitary boat and, set sail on a new vibrational wave. (stream of consciousness)
