It seems that when we look around us at ourselves, at our world, and at our God, we find a number of rough edges. Where two parts might fit together nicely, there are arbitrary divisions. Where the overlap should be almost invisible, the “so-ing” makes an obvious border. Where the colors might blend,lines of demarcation are drawn. Where the shading appears to change in infinite gradations, it is arbitrarilv ended. Where the limits appear un-ending, they are abruptly ended. Where the whole seems
more than the sum of its parts, someone sizes up each part. Where the grandeur and magnitude is unseemly, it is cut, tied and marked with seams.

This is about seams, it seems. The interface, border, meeting place, or meeting time where two or more apparently different somethings meet. This is about Love which welcomes salvation or wholeness. It is about Fear which encourages division, separateness and judgment. It is about choosing Love over Fear.

We are constantly sewing the fabric of our fears with the choices we make and miss-taking the garment for our Being. We send the thread of our actions into the situational cloth of fear with our needle of judgment.

[SO…] “There, that’s right!”
[SEW..] “Oh, that’s good!”
[SO…] “Man! Don’t do that!”
[SEW..I”You dummy!”

We are constantly SOing, judging, crimping, tying, bundling, fastening, binding and attaching.

In time, it seams. We have a garment or costume that seems real enough to be us. We put many hours into its making and we identify strongly with it. It is simply what we have done as a result of a serious expenditure of time and energy. It is our DOing –not our BEing.

Our primary fear is that it might perish or be torn or injured. What then would re-present us to the world? We have so identified with this garment that it literally “pains” us when it gets hurt. We fear for its safety and associate that to mean our safety.

Who We Really Are beneath the gaudy garment of Fear and Doing is a wondrous, vibrant, multi-hued Light hiding underneath a bushel of “seems.”

George McDonald, a Scottish novelist, poet & Christian writer who was key in the conversion of C. S. Lewis, writes in the Diary of an Old Soul…
“With every morn my life afresh must break
The crust of self, gathered about me fresh;
That thy wind-spirit may rush in and shake
The darkness out of me, and rend the mesh
The spider-devils spin out of the flesh –
Eager to net the soul before it wake,
That it may slumberous lie, and listen to the snake.”

As we re-act to the situations that present themselves, we form habitual patterns of behavior — habits in the use of our senses and our thoughts. After much DOing, our performance is pre-formed AND usually out of our conscious awareness. We are unable to choose something different because we are unaware that a choice is offering itself this moment. We become less and less resource-full as we become less aware of our actions — and the alternatives available — in this moment.

If we use our Intention, instead of the needle of judgment, to pierce the garment of Fear, we begin to perceive that the garment’s basic nature is illusion. We are actually Beings of Light clothed in a seam-less Coat of Many Colors.

To the extent we Remember Who We Really Are, our Coat of Many Colors is turned out and lined with Love. And Love is all there is.

We learn that our response-abilitv to situations is our opportunity to Create (not just re-act) and choose new choices. If our choice does not serve us. we simply choose again.

We pose a question of behavior and suppose (so-pose that creation is a certain way and then limit ourselves to that obstructed view of the world.

Technologically, we can send a laser (coherent) light beam across a room and let it carry digitized information including the video and audio of a movie. The “receiver” on the other end reads and converts the information into the analog version of the movie we watch on the viewing “screen.”

Tachyons are theoretical particles which travel faster than light. The physics works in a kind of reverse. The LESS energy you give these tachyons the FASTER they go. If you give them zero energy, they travel at infinite speeds. Something traveling at infinite speed is every-where at-once.

I expect the current progression ofcommunication on the Internet to move from wires to wireless to mental/emotional. This may take several hundred more years unless people begin to practice “tuning their receivers.”

I bet these transcendent tachvons are Love and that they compose the fabric of the universe and that they carry information about the entire universe at once.

It’s dark inside. There’s a great deal of activity going on in there. Excitement even. Lots of
chaos becoming life (repetitive pro- duction of ordered heterogeneity).

It’s a struggle between bits of this and bits of that trying to arrange themselves into a meaningful whole which will become greater than the sum of the parts.

The pressure builds as the structure grows. It’s suffocating, the cramped space. The push is on to break out to a new world. At first it seems too tight and too hard a shell to break through. The first crack occurs! Another and another. Freedom…it’s a new world. So much bigger than the last one. Wow!

Not much light in this cave. Especially after that stone of assumptions was rolled across the opening. Transformation in progress.
Humpty Dumpty searching for all the pieces to recreate the whole. Holographic images scattered about relative points of view. Salvation. Wholeness.
The psyche is under great ego pressure to incorporate the various pieces of my being. So much try-harder. Need more let-go.

Let go of fear and choose Love. The stone is fragmenting. The cave is dissolving. What a neat world. A now moment stretching to and from eternity.

Science has gloried and succeeded in its ability to create “closed systems with limited and manageable variables — whether actually or theoretically. By limiting outside “interference” predictable results can be obtained and laws deduced. A tacit “cause and effect” linkage is established and a sense of control of the event given the right “starting” conditions.
This view of the world has prompted our rational test for reality to require “empirical evidence.” Lacking that, especially if it is difficult to replicate, its “reality” is questioned.
On the sub-atomic level of quantum physics, it is much more difficult to “contain ” or “close” the system — so the “laws” at that level include probability and distributions of “likely” behavior — both in energy and location of particles. Since we are dealing with huge samples of particles, we can claim “reality” and “law status” — and of course the exceptions are always included somewhere on the continuum of possibilities. The “cause and effect” linkage here is much more tenuous because when X happens, Y may or may not happen — within some probability distribution. If we do X in high enough numbers, we generally get what we’re looking for as a result. Consider the system of the human being and our energy fields. Consider the force, fabric, field which we label love (or fear). This may be the ultimate continuously OPEN system. So open as to have each particle or piece of energy able to react or be changed by EVERY OTHER particle or piece of energy in the entire universe.
Our thoughts, feelings, intentions, dreams, etc. are instruments of interaction with this
universe. There are ample documented examples of our thoughts and emotions influencing the biochemistry of our bodies and that of others.
For those who have mastered the art of conscious dreaming, in the dream world things happen as fast as thought. Thinking/feeling it makes it so. This highly subjective realm is nevertheless one where mystics down the ages write of “knowing” with certainty. This gnosis is not a deductive reasoning, it is an experience of that reality. A self-verification of its truth for that person at that time. Subject to change in the next moment — in a dynamic, open system.
Of what utility is this concept in our lives? I suspect that it would encourage a greater trust of and acceptance of what we see and feel at any given moment — regardless how different from the last look we had. It probably involves an acknowledgment of the heart’s wisdom – even while absent the mind’s logical verification.
The sudden, unpredicted remission and disappearance of a sizeable tumor in a short time has no “normal” explanation. Ironically, it still “happens” by some means at the physical level. So, although the initial steps which led to the tumor’s improbable disappearance were launched in the realm of love and higher dimensions, planes, etc., it eventually works itself out in the physical world. When we are lucky enough to be there watching with enough resolution, we can say what “caused” it to disappear. What caused the final observable, physical steps to begin in the first place — against all predictions or past histories — is what we should seek in other realities beyond the locally measurable and the logically explainable.
God’s place in this scenario? It brings up and interesting discussion for another time. In what kind of creation do we live? Is it good and perfect as it is in this moment? Is it a creation where all creatures are ultimately safe and free to learn, explore and evolve and whatever course that takes, it is as it should be?
Or is it flawed, gone awry, in need of redemption, screwed-up-by-man using his free will and making bad choices which God certainly must have expected us to make? In this description of creation, most people have us in the midst of a war between good and evil, God and Satan, right and wrong.
A bit of miscalculation on God’s part or just a sporting gesture to encourage a good fight? If we’re at war, the fear part is very real. If not, it’s an illusion getting in the way of genuine come-union with God in a universe composed of nothing but love.

What might the OldTestament writers have meant by “the sins of one generation will be visited upon the next generation” and why did the Buddhist & American Indian traditions place such emphasis on the continuing presence of their ancestors. It is both weird and comforting to be in a “feeling place” where I can sense the presence of all the other “me’s” that existed “before” and “after” the one in my present moment’s awareness. They can be asked for advice because some of them have already “been there and done that.” They can provide support in decisions and lifestyle. They can be thankful that “I am making decisions NOW which will cause them less hassle. They can provide numerous role models in all shapes and forms. They can give me a greater sense of the consequences of my current thoughts and actions. They can share premonitions of what’s to come, if the same path is followed. They can provide guidance about what they’ve learned and what they “see” from their viewpoints on the “time spindle” of the Eternal Now. Feelings & intuition allow us to slide up and down the “spindle” to access these other me’s.
