Toward a World that Works for Everyone
There is a way of “looking past” all the stories a person might be telling themselves, past their “egoic structure,” and past all their pain and suffering and contracted self-concept. To what then? What is there? This is why music and art can be so powerful… They can embody what is there without resorting to […]
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house…. Well, we’re certainly used to waiting! I’m in a philosophical mood today. I’m guided to look at duality, to show that it isn’t inherently bad or wrong. The very first act in the drama of our lives was one of imaginary separation, individuation. No, not […]
(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.) From “That World is Nova Earth: An Introduction to Ascension – Part 1/2,” October 12, 2017, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/10/12/that-world-is-nova-earth-an-introduction-to-ascension-part-12/ Have we not got enough statements about “the essence of the One” to fill a book? (3) My favorite is from John Ruusbroec, who calls it the Christ, the Son of God: […]
Welcome To The Magical Mystery Meeting Tour! Jonathan Van Valin Email Sometimes seekers come to a meeting with a spiritual teacher, and experience a rush of energy. “Oh!” they might say, “could you feel that? The energy here is so powerful!” I know what they mean. I’ve felt it too. Some seekers follow teachers, or […]
What to do during lockdown, quarantine, social isolation, etc.? I’d highly recommend meditation. But I have no depth of background in meditation so I can’t speak to it. I do plan to meditate more myself, given the isolating conditions. But what about during the time when we’re not meditating? How to “make best use of […]
My job, when people come here (and I speak as an individual editor), is to lay out the details of what’s happening right now and speed you on your way. As a pillar, I stay till the end of the journey and refrain from enlightenment if it complicates my duties as a lightworker. I’m a […]
I will be away Nov. 2 through 4. Suzi is sitting in for me. Some statements are so right on, they stop you in your tracks. The Arcturian Group said recently: “Compassion, service, and a growing awareness of the problems of others are the beginning steps that eventually lead every individual to a state of […]
When I think of Ascension as a journey up a mountain, I weep. Because for me, that’s how it’s seemed. I could have said pulling myself out of a swamp. Or crossing a desert. These are just images, but I feel so tired looking at the journey from this vantage point. It’s been a long […]
I’m finding there comes a time when a bridge is crossed. It’s one of many bridges, one of them being Ascension itself. (1) And, like so much else, for the experience to flower, I have to consciously recognize what’s happening. I have to move from unconscious awareness of the thing in question to conscious awareness. […]
Why is awareness so important? Why not love? Why not good works? Well, of course those are also very important. But awareness – which is also called discernment and discrimination in some religions – is of ultimate importance. Why? By now I should be able to ask “What is the purpose of life?” and a […]
I assert that a Fifth-Dimensional world is a world that works for everyone. I assert that an ascended world is a world that works for everyone. A world beyond mukti, moksha, or liberation is a world that works for everyone. The dead are alive and the living are dead. That proverb has so many levels […]
I need to set the stage for a discussion of values for a New Earth. I need to talk about the old paradigm first. That old paradigm had three features: (1) social Darwinism, (2) empirical materialism, and (3) ethnocentrism or race supremacy. I’ll explain these schools of thought as we go. I repost the next […]
I was recovering from three days spent re-experiencing humiliation (1) and I lay on the couch and asked Michael: What was the most important thing for me to know after all that? What would ground me? Inspire me? Show me where to go next? And I lay there. And eventually the words formed in my […]
Most people in the world do not know about Ascension. Most do not believe that we survive bodily death. Certainly most do not know that life has a purpose, a direction, a meaning. (1) What we believe determines the world we live in – and the world we don’t. Another way of saying that is […]
I’d like to think of the higher form of love I rave on about as “heavenly” love. Why “heavenly”? To the ancient Christians, “heaven” was what we’d today call the higher dimensions; specifically, the “Fifth Dimension.” It was what followed what Jesus called Redemption, Resurrection, or Salvation, which we call Ascension. In our present state, […]
