You knew it, all the time...

Karma and its various manifestations are all aspects of the same, somewhat delusional, reflections on self-worth. The more you are led to introspection, without the presence of an external aspect, the less you are able to make the link-up with your presence in the material. Simply a question of sending the energy in the "wrong" direction where it serves other purposes than those of your own evolution.

We are not intelligent alone, not because we need confirmation or comparison, but because we can only establish a resonant (and therefore increasing vibrational frequency) state when placed in tandem with another similar presence. The only proviso is that for the two to "connect" they must be in phase. That is why gurus and mentors and teachers can only serve the limited function of indicating the way. They can neither take you there nor provide you access, as long as the relationship of respect that they share with you includes a hierarchical aspect.

The basis of teaching is sharing and that goes both ways. So how to enter into this synergistic symbiosis? That is the reason that we have the natural need to form a couple with our significant other. Respect and intimacy go hand in hand in more ways than one. Getting there can be a lot of fun, but the pay-off comes when you realize that the ultimate connection relies on respect and openness. Fulfill that contract and the sky, and higher, is the limit.

Take a ride on the wild side

We do not experience life so much as we differentiate it. We are set up, linguistically, referentially and conceptually to notice changes of state. Were things to remain totally static, then we would have to resort to our creative abilities to refine and redact our reality to suit our purposes. As it is, change is a given and we are constantly trying to "keep up" to reality by comparing it to what was and what we expect will be.

This differential analysis leads to all manner of problems. We hesitate to advance for fear of not being in complete control. We advance groping wildly, hoping to encounter, by sheer luck at times, the eventuality that we have envisaged. This instability places us in a state of insecurity that is most of the problem. Lack of understanding comes from lack of presence. We do not need to pay attention to that which is not part of our present moment. Not because we do not need to prepare for the future but because taking care of the present IS the preparation for the future.

If life is a ride, then the turns in the track are already laid out. We will encounter them so long as we remain on the ride. What is needed is to be well placed in our seat and firmly engaged in the process so that when we hit that rough patch, we are in the best possible state to deal with it.

Throwing us a curve?

What is the mirror-symmetry of reality? It is comprised of the real and the unreal. All that is illusion conveys a sense of reality that has been subtly altered to keep us from realizing that which we are. That part of the plan keeps us forever searching for....ourselves.
The radial nature of existence is much like the synchrotron radiation that exits from sub-atomic particles under circular acceleration. As the rate of conscious evolution increases, we develop and emit those aspects of our understanding.

To delve a bit deeper into the nature of this relationship, we see that the manifestation of our existence is vectorial.
Any vector can be described by it's direction (Intelligence), magnitude (will) and location (love). These three fundamental principles serve to establish our consciousness in a frame of reference that allows for the absolute identification of our persons.
We are what we do and what we do needs only depend upon the circumstances of the moment for each and every moment.

Further, the curve of the evolution of consciousness is an asymptote. As such, we are riding on a curved trajectory that is not only changing the sign of it's fundamental constant, it is also approaching an aspect of infinity.
All asymptotes approach infinitely close to the baseline, but never go over. What is needed to traverse that distance?
The ability to take a step into the "void". We do that by being creative in the expression of our spirit through our conscious awareness and intent.

Thought fullness causes information overflow?

Division by zero.....buffer overflows....infinite operators....technical jargon gleaned from programmer manuals.....sounds like it was written with the internal thought process in mind.

Can you over-think a problem? Can you under-think a situation? Kind of like having to re-learn the alphabet every time that you want to read a word. The nature of the inscribed memorial residues is a cross between a shock-absorber and an alarm clock. Hunh? wtf? They provide an absorbent buffer to soak up incident psychic energy (a form of overflow buffer to keep us from frying the circuits) and they also demonstrate their presence like a rung bell. How you feel about a given thought says a lot about its nature, origin and usefulness. (Kind of like a map of where the landmines are but these explosives are needed later to complete other demolition tasks in the transformational process.)

Useful? Seems to me that they are more of a nuisance, but since the weeds tell us where the soil is, we can't plant the garden until we remove the weeds.....and then we can compost them for fertilizer. The fruit that we grow and harvest from this fertile ground is only the natural development from the seeds that we have sown and how we tend them.

For all intents and purposes we are vessels and the contents of the vessel determine the purpose and utility of the vessel. Each and every one of us has their own path to (re)create but no matter how different, the one from the other, they are still paths and need to be designed, defined and followed. It is only a matter of time and experience before we all get to the end of our own yellow-brick road and make it back to where there is no place like it.

The sands of time and space

We are but travellers on the surface of the hourglass that represents the spacetime of the conscious spirit.

As we rise we also are going around the surface and can perceive the sand as it flows. As well, all of the ethereal surroundings are able to observe and even interact with our progress. From that viewpoint we are seen to be rising at an ever-increasing rate despite the fact the we can only perceive that for each (r)evolution we have only gone "up" one unit.

Once we arrive at the nexus of the hourglass shape (it is actually a form of tetrahedron in 4-space that extends into more refined space above our current location) we will continue our advancement but we will note a change to our orientation. A greater opening up to all that can be perceived. We will gain insight into all that surrounds us as we pass that inflection point on the evolution of our consciousness.
