Lebanon

Wherever you go, there you are. Wherever you are - it's hard not to dream about other places. I live in the place everyone wants to go, wants to be, the most beautiful place in Canada. I decided tonight, as I sat down to write, to let itunes play till it brought me a topic.

Wasn't hard - love and peace, or else.

Life is a journey, and many people say or think that if you want to be happy you should just do it where you are, or else you're "running away".

  Run run run run run.

                                               Running to stand still.

That song, love and peace, always reminds me of Lebanon. No matter how wonderful a place is - the future always beckons. I haven't figured out if it's a sickness or a hope, a sickness or just love of life. Love but not peace, unless it's peace in motion...

I've wanted to go there for years - the cedars, the beaches, the history, the mountains, the fact that they've stood against everything and everyone, a diverse multicultural society, formed of Muslims, Jews, Christians, speaking three languages, through violence and terror.

That's a place I want to go.

It represents a fantasy for me in some way, I don't know how - Lebanon. No matter how great my life is, and it is, it's hard not to dream about Lebanon.

Moon and the hawk

Came home tonight from a good and bad day. The moon was shining over the house. I'd been on the beach with some friends, looking at it, and to come home to it... shouldn't be a surprise.

Yet it just felt so constant. Years ago, probably Fall 2006, I was pretty down about life. I came home one day and there was a little plastic hawk on my step, standing there looking at me. In my animal cards the Hawk represents perspective and vision. Looking back over your past; seeing into your future.

When I went out earlier tonight I sat that little hawk on my computer. I knew back then, as soon as I walked up the steps and saw it, that my brother had left it there for me, even though I hadn't seen him in a few days.

There are challenges in life. It's good to be reminded of things that are constant. Our bodies are cycles of dust. Our souls are as constant as the stars in the sky. How you feel about things all depends on what you choose to identify with.

A Warrior knows that the ends do not justify the means.

Because there are no ends, there are only means. Life carries him from unknown to unknown. Each moment is filled with this thrilling mystery: the Warrior does not know where he came from nor where he is going.

Jedi Knights / New Earth (whose idea is this, anyway?)

Well, Saturday night's alright for writing, so here I go. I was born in 1972. I was five when Star Wars came out. George Lucas studied the works of Joseph Campbell, found the keys to our archetypal imagery (or "attractor fields"), and planted the idea in my mind that a small group of people could hold back a tide of darkness..
 ..the bastard. He probably did it to you too.

And something else that defines our generation, is global warming: the environment.

"The future attracts us, like filings to a magnet.            

Nothing is “causing” anything. No THIS “causes” THAT...  

Creation is not sequential. The WITNESSING of the creation is sequential [so it gives the appearance of sequence.] . There is no beginning and no ending.

The whole purpose of spiritual work = Potentiality becomes Actuality."

I wanted to go to bed early tonight, I really did. But I started blog surfing - you go to one on your list, pick one on their list, go to it, keep doing that until you find something you never expected.

"... Sheldrake’s “Morphological Fields” –premise is that Life learns through experience, (via intelligence) and even when you die, there is an “Attractor Field” for that intelligence, and it creates new life---Therefore, evolution occurs in Consciousness itself, but not within Nature. Nature is the expression of evolution."

The above quotes are from a blog based on the work of David Hawkins, a remarkable old man, given the title of Knight (hm?) and Tae Ryoung Sun Kak Tosa, "Foremost Teacher of the Way to Enlightenment".

I read a book on Morphological fields when I was 18 or so. What I took out of it was: ideas crop up at the same time everywhere at once, ie - a bunch of people came up with Einstein's theory (making it not really Einstein's, but whose?) but he publsihed it first. For years I fought against this idea, and it's funny that the above blog material came up because it was that idea (of morphological fields, and that 'my idea' would spring up anyway if I didn't get it out there.. ) which inspired me to start this entry.

This idea came to me in a dream I had in 2006, I won't bore you with the details. It is for a group of environmental protectors, like Jedi Knights, but protectors of the Earth (a New Earth?).

Eckhart Tolle coined the term, "New Earth", I started the book of that title, but didn't get far. I like him but find his writing preachy. I've implanted my own idea here (as usual), and it is that post-2012 = we can create a better world, if we wish. Not just for the 'high-vibrational' people, as lots of 'spiritual types' seem to think, but for all of us.

To put it in other words, it is for a group of dedicated, highly trained and competent men and women working together behind the scenes, and more apparently when necessary, to guard and protect the Earth on which we all depend.

What are they called? Are they under the UN or are they organized in secret, do they have legal authority or just their exemplary professionalism? Are there five or five hundred? Do you know any?  Who pays them? Are they going to be formed, or have they already?

One thing I can tell you is - there are others thinking this..

Until recently I used to 'hog' ideas, thinking they were 'mine.' Foolish. Put them out in the world and they come back to you with cake. I mean, really, whose ideas are they, anyway?

Today I walked out in Schooner Cove, way out. I was alone with twisted rocks, bear tracks, sun and wind. At the end, I was going to turn back, but decided to walk right to the very end and kiss the rock. That's when I saw the eagle. I followed it around the corner into 'eagle cove' - it was full of them! They sat on the limbs of an old spruce and looked down at me, unperturbed by my presence. I knew by their calm that I had found my center. So I came home to write.

I thought I'd go out on a limb and voice this personal dream, be the first (or am I? ;) iron filing drawn to this magnetic concept/attractor field - sacred earth guardians.

Can we make that potentiality actuality?

Can we not?

Obi Wan - remember, a Jedi can feel the force flowing through him...

Luke - you mean it controls his actions?

Obi Wan - partially, but it also obeys your commands.
