Where do we fit in? How do we relate to it?

Even though so much capability exists, it is still so early in the game. Of course I don’t know exactly how to relate to it, and I bet most folks don’t know exactly.

I had my perspective expanded and my interest piqued recently on a certain aspect of this whole AI era we’re entering.

Could it be that AI is not actually creating any intelligence, but rather that it is just a mirror of our collective human intelligence?

I listened recently to an amazing podcast with Dr. Zach Bush M.D. as the featured guest. Dr. Bush is quite awesome, and I highly recommend checking him out. I’m resonating with lots of what he said. One aspect he talked about is captured by this quote, from his website:

AI is not the future arriving from somewhere else. It is a mirror made from what humanity has already written, built, optimized, forgotten, and become. The invitation is not to stare longer into the mirror, but to remember which side of the glass we are on.

This is a potent and welcomed reminder given the acceleration of AI we are all experiencing.

It seems that as a collective we may hear opinions about how AI is going to take over, or something.

I don’t think it will. I don’t think it can. We are creating it and it is a tool to show us what we’ve created collectively so far - but it needs us to lead it into the next evolutions of whatever it becomes.

I think we have the agency as a people to decide how we relate to the breadth of AI capabilities that are available and will continue to evolve.

I think the operative term is agency - because it is a choice. If we choose to relinquish the exercising of our innate human capacities by relying on AI to be a source of all knowledge and human development, then we risk devolving ourselves as a species.

Evolution needs the human being’s creativity.

If we collectively fall to ever-increasing reliance on AI for our creations - or non-creations - then we are severely limiting our ability to thrive today and nourish our future human family.

To continue riffing on Dr. Bush’s thoughts - this seems to be a time of reckoning:

Human, or machine?

It seems we can possibly use the machine to maximize our human experience. But if we lean too heavily on the machine, it seems we diminish our human experience and setup our future generations for something less desirable.

We can use this mirror of AI to view into what we as a species largely agree upon. But we cannot lose sight that it is only a mirror - a tool - to show us what already exists.

Similar to looking into a mirror in “regular” life, it is useful to look into it for a time, but you don’t want to spend the majority of your time there. You use it as a tool to get information so you can proceed more coherently in the future.

It does not tell us the future.

We create the future. We - the humans - are the future.

Let’s stoke the fires of our soul and fuel our rapid evolution to wield this powerful tool to be of utmost benefit to our people and our home planet.

We volunteered to be here on earth at this time. It is no small privilege. It is an incredibly potent time to be alive, and we have such an immense opportunity to create a beautiful, biology-based future.

Human beings and the Earth are The miraculous technologies. AI is a small “tributary” of the total conscious wisdom of humankind on earth.

Let’s lead accordingly.

If something - an event, situation, plan of action, mindset, etc.- can be simply comprehended by those operating within that situation, then there is a dramatically increased potential for the relative success of those involved as compared to if the people involved are feeling the relative complexity instead.

A really great plan will indeed often require great complexity. However, from a high enough perspective, the same complex plan can be understood simply.

Take for example the world we live in. It is pretty complex. Right?

Well, what have we learned about life on this earth - if anything?

Simplicity is beautiful.

Do we need thousands of hours of analysis, of concern, of furrowing our brows to try to piece together the vast complexities of life?

Or do we need to maximize our time smiling? Maximize our time in the sun? Maximize our time with loved ones? Maximize our time creating, singing, dancing, nourishing, and moving?

What if the strongest answers to “what to do in life” are really that simple?

I heard recently a theory that lifespan is related to the pace of breath in a creature.

Elephants for example breathe at a very relaxed pace, and their lives are relatively very long. Mice on the other hand, breathe very rapidly in comparison and live dramatically shorter lives.

What if by simplifying our life, we can lengthen our life too, while increasing the enjoyment of it and therefore the soulful output we can offer the world?

What if maximizing our lives for: the most possible time amount smiling and the most relaxed breathing patterns possible is actually the secret to maximal happiness, longevity, and therefore ability to bring true value into the world?

I’m no expert here - but I know for sure that when I remember to slow my breathing, to actively try to maximize my time spent smiling, and to simplify my thinking about life, I feel invigorated and alive.

It feels like I have more value to offer when I am maximizing for this simple style.

What about for you? Are you breathing short and fast, or with long, calm, gentle deep breaths?

Are you optimizing your life for calm breathing and maximal smiling?

I hope so - and I wish it for you! I will do it too.

If we are willing to make room for a better situation - just in our mind - then that is a wonderful place to start.

Before defining how it must go, and before assigning a prescriptive order of operations that the situation “must” follow according to our minds - can we try to just allow for the possibility that a better situation is possible. I don’t have to define it yet, and I don’t have to know exactly how it will happen yet.

But - I believe that this situation can transform in beautiful, bountiful, and purely loving ways. Even though I don’t know how it will go yet.

I’ve found that the more I try to define how it needs to go, the less it goes that way. The more I allow the natural flow of life to dictate how it will go, the more it goes in a direction that I prefer.

Less try, more goodness. More try, less goodness.

Not to say that effort and our defining the direction of our actions is bad. It is still important.

However, we have made a cultural misstep in relying so heavily on our egoic mind to decide how things will or should go. We have been operating in an imbalanced way; the linear and logic-only approach has led us to where we are now.

Take our current society and culture for example. Consider the corruption, ineptitude, wars, heinous attacks against children, technocratic domination attempts, the manipulated monetary system, the criminal tax system, or even just the clown-show of a political system that operates here in the United States.

These are products of a society who has systematically been sick.

Instead of taking a cadaver to society, I’ll instead consider the point I posited above.

Even though it might not have a clear and obvious path, could we allow our minds to dance with the idea that a better situation is possible?

Without hanging ourselves up on how it will get better, or what specific factors must be altered, can we choose to say to ourselves: yes, this can get better…?

It does take some mental pliability to exercise ourselves in this way.

However, it may be one of the most crucial things we can do at a time like this.

We don’t need more hardened logic that is as unflinching as the base of a mountain. We need more willingness to place our faith in life, love, creativity, and evolution.

If life is a story, who do you want to win? The light side or the dark side?

Who is writing this story anyway?

What if the ending to the story is being written with every thought, breath, and step we take?

How would that affect how we use our thoughts, words, and actions?

Stay flexible, my friend, despite all the odds.

Stay light, stay loving, and please please please: believe in the beauty that you dream of!

It is all possible, and it is all real. It is all for you.

Dream it! Claim it! This world is yours.

“‘It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,’ said Susila. ‘Dark because you want it to be light.

Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl.

“Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly.

Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly.

Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply.

Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.”

I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. …

So throw away all your baggage and go forward.

There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.

That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.’”

​— Aldous Huxley, ‘Island’

Oh, oh, how this speaks to me. How I cling to the heavy anchor of seriousness, control, and of strife.

Oh, but why?

Where can I fly to with this heavy anchor around my neck?

What beauty do I notice when demanding my next task is just so crucial and important?

If I’m clenching my jaw to achieve my perceived necessary steps in pursuit of peace - where is the peace?

Can I live and breathe peace by white-knuckling it on the way there?

Oh, oh, oh, what if this all could be gentler?

Can it be?

Is it actually already gentler, much gentler than I could have ever realized?

Can I hold my thoughts as tightly as I would hold a butterfly’s wing?

Lightly now…lightly…

Sometimes you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right…

…Right?

After looking it up online, it seems like it may be attributed to a well-known cartoon comedy movie which I haven’t seen (Kung Fu Panda, 2008). Honestly, it probably didn’t originate there either, but who knows - that is just what I found. Either way, it is a nice little quote.

The quote was effectively:

“Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow’s a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That is why it is called “the present.”

While it may not explain all of life, it does provide a nice perspective that can probably be useful to many of us.

The here and the now!

Isn’t this all just a series of unlimited snapshots of “now”...?

While it does seem to all be here, now,...I’d be remiss if I didn’t note that I’ve heard ideas from Robert Edward Grant, and others, that time actually goes in both directions. Under this idea, each ‘now’ moment affects the past just as much as the future. So, our actions simultaneously create the future coming after this moment and the past that has led to this moment - all at once. And it is all happening at once…literally. Our vantage point is just one that makes sense of things in a linear fashion more easily.

Maybe so?

Maybe not?

I’m far from sure, but if my ‘now’ moment is calling me to speculate a little bit about it, then to me that is worth the inquiry. It seems well to act on our highest inspiration in any given moment, especially given everything Bashar has shared.

If nothing else, allowing for some of this type of thinking feels for me like stretching my mind and stretching my consciousness.

It doesn’t mean I have to commit my worldview to each new idea that sounds interesting, in the same way I don’t have to stretch out my obliques for hours at a time.

Rather, I can explore it and feel it out a bit, letting myself warm up into it.

And, the more often I let my mind operate in a more multidimensional way - which is debatably its more natural state - allows me to be more nimble and flexible for future ideas and concepts that could be interesting, useful, or revelatory.

Stretchin’ it out here, boss!

what else underpins this magical plane?

Could it be that impassioned inspiration is really our guide?

If so, what would that mean for this life’s ride?

What if joy was the reason for being, doing, and all?

How would that affect how we attend life’s great ball?

Strife and struggle may still exist,

But, if joy is our anchor, how long could those really persist?

How often are we drinking from life’s loving cup?

How high can we allow love to lift us up?

Is there a limit?

Or maybe there’s not…

But it seems to me that exploring ever-expansive joy is always worth the shot.

What would this totally seminal moment look like? Sound like? Feel like? Smell like? Taste like? Be like?

I notice when I explore this idea, it takes a lot of effort to bring myself to that space. For one reason or another, this effort feels much less of a create-and-wonder endeavor, and much more of a reducing-the-clutter endeavor.

Meaning, my mind easily gets in the way of me accessing my ancestral memory; the memory that is stored within my - and all of our - DNA, which seems to hold the codes, wisdom, memory, and evolutionary capacity of our entire species.

My mind is quick to jump in and ask about logistics, food sources, comfort sources, housing, philosophical questions (why am I here?), etc.

These are all good questions, all worthy of consideration in their due time.

But I can feel something ever so slight, apparently distant, but when I tune in, it actually feels not just “close” to me, but it feels like a core part of me. Like I am remembering something that has been encoded in our DNA. Not unique to me. But common to all of us, and available to all of us.

The feeling that I can so faintly access - and I mean faintly - is one of such complete multitudinous bliss that I am writing this blog simply to try to begin expressing the feeling in some meaningful way. (My other idea is to just sing/dance/scream/jump/flip/hug/kiss/freak out all at once…)

I find it easier to notice this feeling in peaceful moments, whether they are fun and loud peaceful moments like a gathering with friends and family, or quiet moments of solitude communing with undisturbed nature.

When I do access this feeling, my sense of wonderment, gratitude, unconditional love, and unconditional responsibility for the entire experience feels perfectly infinite.

I imagine that I would be reveling in every micromoment. Each breath, each dewdrop glistening with perfect sunshine, each gust of breeze, each and every last creature, each iota of the existence - all would be experienced like the greatest miracle of all time.

When I tap into this feeling, it feels good. Like, really, really good. The kind of good that could nourish me for eternity. (Or at least that is how I perceive it!)

I think that part of what I may be doing when this happens is that I am tuning into the big cosmic grin of life. It feels like the absolute bliss and wonder I feel in these moments is, perhaps, the creator of this existence smiling brightly - and how blessed am I that I get to tune in for a moment or a few seconds?!

The funny thing is, it seems this smile is always smiling, and it is available to everyone at all moments, bar none. So it is not so much of a created experience that I have unique access to, but rather, it is when I can relax myself enough to listen and tune in to the cosmos - that is when I can feel it.

It is always here, always grinning, always available to all beings, and always in eternal bliss.

Could it be so?

How on earth could I ever know?

Would I want to ever know?

Or would I be better off trying to allow for more and more moments (and eventually minutes) of this cosmic bliss to be experienced in my life?

Goodness! I don’t know.

But I do love this life and this amazing experience it provides.

And, I love you too.

Be well my friend.

God is Here.

In every last inch of existence, in between each and every thought experienced, and in all places in between.

This God is not a man or woman, and is not sitting on a throne.

This God is the fabric of reality itself.

An absolute majesty, it is.

Within this God, divine harmony is the theme. All is perfectly orchestrated, and is carried out through the absolutely perfect, imperfect beings that we all are.

Through following our divine drive, we fill in our part of the grand mosaic of life, which creates The Perfection of the All.

Unconditional love is the defining truth of this God.

Some days are harder to take the actions we deeply want to be taking, for one reason or another.

Keep going.

If I could sing to you, I would, because it needs to be well understood…

There may have been things that I’ve done

to make you doubt…

…but don’t you doubt…

My friend, I want you to know:

That I Love You.

Yeah I’m talking to you.

What on earth do you want me to do?

How can I ever explain it to you?

That life’s infinite bliss belongs directly to you!

Life’s majesty and magic are not for a few,

but rather,

it is everyone’s grand opportunity to allow for it - and see it through.

Hindering us are our limits of mind,

and our tendencies to think “we know” are what make us blind.

Leaving all fear, doubt, judgement, and gossip behind…

we quickly realize that unconditional love and support

is the theme of this cosmic port.

So go forth then, and do ever recall:

that you are always invited to live within the infinite love that defines this grand ball.

Life will keep asking you, and calling you to it -

and It just asks that you go on and DO IT.

With Love, and Love, and Love.

“Phenomena come and go. Awareness is.”

Ah, yes… isn’t it so?

Does the world stop existing when I take my sleep each night?

Does winter’s snow and ice prevent the Earth from continuing through the cosmos along its spirals and cycles that eventually lead It back to springtime?

…or, to extrapolate further…

Did the world come into existence once I was born as this individual human man that I am?

Or did the world have a pre-existing condition of “already existing” that was in place prior to my arrival through birth?

Using these impactful but simple examples, we can clearly see that the quote is true! Phenomena, indeed, come and go while eternal awareness persists despite the ongoing phenomena.

I was reminded this morning of this quote, when I was sitting outside on the lawn doing some daily meditation. The Sun was bright and hot already, as it tends to be in late June. While sitting in the hot sun I felt the most epicly refreshing cool breeze behind me and from under me, as if the Great Spirit was suddenly the most specifically thoughtful friend of All Time. It is definitely a sweet, sweet experience to be facing the powerful and beautiful heat of the Sun and to be unexpectedly washed away in the relief of the cool and soothing breeze.

This was, in some sense, a metaphor of the Ram Dass quote. The phenomena of feeling my body warm as sweat starts to develop while out in the hot sun had been coming… The phenomena of the cool breeze then came which cooled me down. In that same moment, “it” made sure the phenomena of the hot sun that had been coming to me was then brought away. So, the phenomena came and went.

Behind it all was my awareness, existing and observing the whole thing. The hot and the cold and the relief in between.

The real juice, if you will, is in what each of our individual awarenesses observe, learn, and evolve from based on the phenomena of life. Our awareness is eternal, and is the place of evolution. There will be events along the way that catalyze our ever-increasing awareness of what is happening. The stronger we focus on our eternal awareness and the lighter we cling to the coming and going of life’s events, the more we allow for evolution to occur.

The reason evolution is so desirable is not to change our forms, but rather it is to change our awareness to anchor in the truth that whatever phenomena arise and however our forms may change, our awareness is going to be the same: infinite, always evolving and expanding, and eternally revealing that no matter what is happening in this current moment, our selves and lives are always absolutely lovable.

We want to evolve because it brings us ever closer to our true potential: spending 100% of our time in peaceful bliss.

What more compelling direction for a goal could there be?

Does not all fulfilledness come from how fully we can accept this direct relationship with the Great Spirit?

It helps to have masters and teachers to help intermediate. People like Amma and Christ are good examples of masters who allow our direct relationship with god to flourish because of who they are and how they are in the world. More than facilitators, they are the living catalytic fluid that brings online in us the necessary awakenings for our greater evolution - which, in my opinion, is signified by an ever-decreasing distance between ourselves and god; the totality of creation.

Feeling like “little old me” isn’t worthy of a direct relationship with god is a common doubt and a equally common misconception. This misguided nonwisdom may have been perpetuated by certain popular religions - including those that are centered around the belief and love for Christ.

I don’t know a lot in this life “for certain.” But, if I may be so bold: you are absolutely and entirely worthy of a direct relationship with god. It can only be so. Meaning, no one of god’s creatures could be so special or antispecial to be exempt from the birthright that belongs equally to every single individual being.

What makes it better is that this one infinite creator loves us more than any conception of unconditional love that we could form within our brains at any point in time.

Wow! Are we not so blessed? Truly, truly blessed.

The idea is that the core seed that ends up growing into a human being is imbued with complete universal wisdom at the beginning. It is encoded into the DNA. The completeness and infinite nature of wisdom itself lives there.

In this life, we are creatures of limitation. So our access to the complete encoded wisdom is apparently dimmed or limited.

As we go through life, we are able to turn on the codes within our DNA that contain more and more of that complete universal wisdom. That is part of why revelations tend to feel obvious once that new revelation-generating-data reveals itself to you - because you as the multidimensional being already know the information because it is encoded in your DNA. You may not consciously “know that you know” it, but your body and soul know it.

It is a lifelong process of remembering our full, true, divine origins.

There are of course catalysts that tend to accompany these codes being turned out.

In general, acting upon whatever is truly inspiring for me in any given moment seems to be an important habit for noticing more of this evolutionary thrust in life.

That - and sunlight.

Sunlight is nourishing your DNA when you consume it responsibly. Regularly sunning in a wise way is one of the greatest physical, mental, or spiritual health tactics I know of. A “wise way” for me includes: no sunglasses, no burning yourself, no sunscreen, proper nourishment/hydration, optimal times of day, incrementally increasing sun time, etc.

Under this idea that I’m dancing with, the sunlight is actually providing the exact codes to our DNA that allows for our evolution to unfold right before our eyes, all according to each of our soul’s original plan and blueprint. (No two paths will be exactly the same.)

Especially when the sun hits our eyeballs - that is really the good stuff.

Not all are so blessed, and for this, my unlimited gratitude will not rest.

Not to say that I am always actively remembering this...little me has a way of rushing around and forgetting this more often than I’d like.

But I happen to be writing this from an overly-well-lit airport while waiting for a flight that has been delayed for 3 hours...and it is past my bedtime already!

So it is oddly easier to be present with some aspects of life at this time. Maybe it is the hustle and bustle of an airport, and the people-noticing where it is easy to either be one of the bustlers...or not, if you have a 3 hour delay. And even then, a 3 hour delay could be a stressful inconvenience depending on the circumstances. In my circumstance today - no repercussions except for some potential alarm-snoozing in the morning and a groggy day.

Such an interesting place, the airport. So many different agendas, schedules, peoples, and motions all simultaneously occurring while we line up to hop on our airborne bus ride, taking us near or far.

It is such a rich experience to have extra time at an airport when I’m not stressed out or missing any crucial life happenings. It is informative on an evolutionary level to cross paths with so many hundreds of people, who are mostly all doing something different. It is like each face I notice or passerby I sense is sharing some of their life data with me; and I with them. Most of it, I’m sure, I barely register, except for a clear felt impression that my subconscious and soul takes in as more material to learn from.

On a conscious level, it seems to increase my compassion for people who are having a hard day, or maybe just a hard moment. It also seems to increase my appreciation for those who are vibing high, enjoying big laughs, or goofing around with each other. It is a good place to send out little prayers to anyone and everyone I notice regardless of which end of the spectrum they fall.

Why not?

All this said, I hope you have the space for an extra breath and a moment to contemplate and appreciate whatever the present moment is offering you more often than not...and just more often in general!

Obviously the surgery-grade overhead light beams blasting me at 11pm while I cope with a mediocre seat does not compare with the wonderful comfort of my bed and my woman at home. I wish I was there!

But, this little shimmering of light has found me in a strange place, and I’m enjoying it for what it is.

I guess once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right.

May The Light shine on you brightly!

After spending years loving writing as a youth, I had well over a decade off where I was not writing much at all.

I’ve now been back on the train for nearly 2 years, and this time with much more regularity. This is my 100th blog post here.

I am exuberant to be able to write on a weekly basis and to share thoughts and ideas with wise and interesting people who read what I write. It is quite the privilege. It is a fun outlet to explore my soul and life.

Thank you for hanging out with me each week. It means so much.

It would be fun to all gather up and sit around and talk about our thoughts, ideas, inspirations of soul, and the like. Maybe one day a bunch of us will do that, hopefully around a campfire or out in a nice field on a warm spring day.

In the meantime let’s keep the virtual mind-share going.

Consider this an invite: if you ever have thoughts, ideas, comments, or anything about stuff I write about, let me know about it. At least a handful of you all already do this and I love it. So thank you. I write to inspire reflection and inquiry into this dazzling party of life, and dialogue catalyzes the whole process.

The only real question remaining is:

Can we do 100 more blogs?

That’s 100 more weeks. Where will you be in 100 weeks? Where will I be in 100 weeks? How many iterations of myself will have been born, evolved through, and past in that 100 weeks?

Ohhhh. Time will tell.

Praise you sweet friends. Much Love.

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day.

Mothers…where would we be without them? How can we put words to something in life that is fundamental to life even having the chance to exist? How do we use words pulled from the castle to describe how crucial the foundations of the castle are for the castle’s existence? Who has eyes that are reading this that did not form within their mother’s womb?

Having one most important day to celebrate all Mothers is good. But really…what day is it permissible to not celebrate all Mothers? At what point can our gratitude let up for the divine gift of being birthed as a human being?

A quote, from Mariah at Four Visions:

Today, we honor the mothers.

The grandmothers. The sisters. The caretakers.

Motherhood is not one path. It is the source of all life.

She lives to offer protection, devotion, intuition, patience, and care to her children.

She lives in the grandmother, carrying ancestral wisdom forward. In the sister who shows up again and again. In the hands that prepare medicine and nourish others.

Across generations, the teachings of our Divine Mother continue to guide us through our Earth school.

These wise words help to keep the scale of all this in scope.

What an absolute privilege to be birthed by, nurtured by, cared for by, and unconditionally loved by our Mother, Our Mother Earth, and All of Our Mothers.

What can we do to express our cherishment and gratitude for the immense privilege?

I don’t know exactly. Best I can come up with is just start by hugging a mother, your mother, your mother Earth, or any woman in your life. Hold them tight - whoever it is. Say thank you. (Thank You Mom!)

I wrote this very short mantra during a ceremony a few years ago for myself, as a centering mechanism and as a living prayer and blessing for the Divine Mother, whose body is the earth, whose children are all of the living creation, and where all of our Mother’s draw their divine power from. Use it anytime in a joyful time or a dire time…it has helped me a lot.

Mother, I Love You.

Mother, I Thank You.

Mother, I Am You.

Mother, I Love You. Mother, I Thank You. Mother, I Am You.

Mother, I Love You. Mother, I Thank You. Mother, I Am You.

However you do It,

Do It with Grin.

Not on the surface,

which can easily feign,

but from the deep inner core -

the infinite flame.

No matter what happens,

No matter how bad,

Let our hearts be loving,

Let our minds find the Glad.

It rarely is easy,

when push comes to shove,

but all above all -

The strongest power is Love.

Fuel is Faith,

And Faith is Fuel.

Give up on my faith?

Never -

mama didn’t raise no fool.
