The most productive and dynamic life is always on the edge.
If you are too far from the safety of established “civilization” you are a pioneer and in dangerous territory. The farther out you go, the slimmer your chances of survival.
If you are well entrenched in the “safety” of your civilization, never pushing an edge, you become just part of the machinery of civilization; the pavement that supports those who are on the edge.

Surface Dwellers
Here is a Random Thought
As I was waking this morning, I found myself contemplating a variation of the membrane theory of our universe.
We all know that life exists on the edge.
What if our entire 3 dimensional universe is just a boundary layer between two mediums, like the surface of the ocean.
We are surface dwellers.
We have no clue that there is a deep ocean beneath us, or a whole atmosphere above us.
We are only aware of the surface.
The surface of an ocean has waves.
We are not aware of those waves because we only sense the surface.
Those waves carry information.
How can we learn to use those waves like radios?

The lebab project
There is a magic place, a spiritually powerful place, half way between sleep and awake. It is a place of creativity and inspiration and is often mentioned by poets, writers and inventors. It was around 1990 when my son Ryan and I first realized that while you are in that state, the brain naturally resonates at the same frequency as the earth.
The power of the above realization takes a while to absorb.
The brain uses electrical energy and behaves as a tiny radio transmitter. Ryan and I played with the dynamics of how a million little micro power transmitters would behave if they were located on a resonant globe. We realized that overall they would tend to cancel each other, EXCEPT if they were synchronized just right. Then they would sustain a living circular wave that goes around the world like a ring, in one direction only. At some level, this wave would co-ordinate everyone’s spirit.
Eventually, Ryan and Lynn and I came up with a playful, but powerful theory about the tower of Babel. Like the great flood, it turns out that many cultures have a similar story. The Christian bible tells a story about how all the people on earth used to speak the same language. They became arrogant and decided to build a tower to reach heaven. God got angry and confounded everyone’s language so people could no longer understand each other.
What if all sentient life on earth evolved in the presence of this “round the world wave”? All brains were slightly better in tune with each other. People tended to understand each other better. At some point, man decided to build a powerful radio transmitter at the same frequency. (There are ways to do that without modern technology.) The effect of such a transmitter is that the brains lock onto that one signal, and the living circular wave dies within hours. There is no way to get it started again. After the wave dies, people no longer understand each other. They are no longer as in tune with the earth and other brains on it. They disperse into small and less powerful groups.
How much have we lost?
How much could we gain if we had that connection back again?
The next logical question is; “How could we get that wave restarted?”
Ideas flowed. Soon we had a list of requirements to pull it off. A plan to reverse the effects of the tower of Babel was named “The Lebab project”.
Soon we realized that the circular wave would radiate a unique signal into space. This would be our signature that says we have reached a new threshold in our cultural evolution. Somewhere in deep space the signal will be received by highly intelligent beings who will look at each other and say “They are ready!”
So, the Lebab project got a subtitle; “Operation God call”.

Adapt to survive and prosper
While listening to the book Speaker for the Dead I was thinking...
We humans just spent a billion years evolving in the competitive mode. We co-operate in groups while competeing between groups.
Recently, our capabilities have created a new environment. For the first time we are in a stage where we are capable of destroying life on earth with our competition. We need to subjugate and harness the compete game, operating it only at lower levels.
At the world level we must focus on the co-op game. Not only co-operating between groups of people, but with all life on earth. This is the best way to adapt to our new environment.

Love
This morning I was hugging and cuddling my wifey. I was observing that I keep on falling in love with her. It must be deep.
She decided that it must be time for a new metaphor.
"We aren’t falling. We are soaring in love."
Soaring is as easy as falling because we always maintain and exercise our wings.

The active observer
When I get a new lesson of the week (or month, or year) I focus intently on the topic, exploring it in depth. What I am really doing is creating new lenses. Then it is exhilarating to look at life through these new lenses.
Have you tried on any new lenses lately?

Roots and Wings
Roots are our relationship with our source.
Roots ground us. They bring nourishment and energy. They provide the wind beneath our wings.
Wings are our external relationships (feathers), supported by our internal relationships (underlying structure).
So, to fly requires us to maintain a triad of high quality relationships.
Source
Internal
External
Nature is the source; the mother. In Christian terms; the Father.
Internal is flesh and associated psyche. In Christian terms; the Son.
External relationships build social Spirit.

Prerequisite
A friend reminded me recently about another important element of successful flight.
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.
Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.
Winged flight
During a dreamspeak session I received this message…
“Your bonds are your feathers.
They will help you fly.”
It sounded profound at the time. The next morning I started questioning the logic of it.
“Wait a minute;” I asked. “ Bonds are structure. The structure of a wing is muscles and bones. Feathers are not structure. How do bonds relate to feathers?”
It wasn’t until I was writing a letter to my sister that it started falling into place.
Social relationships are our external bonds.
Good social relationships are our feathers that help us fly.
Feathers interface to the fluid air around us. They give us lift and thrust and the subtle control that makes flight possible.
Feathers are also our external appearance.
They can be fancy plumage just for show, or they can be mostly about function.
In any case, they must be well maintained.
Feathers don’t help much without good sound wings under them.
The relationships within ourselves form the structure under the feathers.
They need to be strong and flexible
and well maintained.

My focus is about bonds.
Bonds are connections.
Connections are relationships.
Relationships bind you.
Relationships are sets of rules.
Rules bind you.
Rules provide infrastructure, the platforms which help us operate at a higher level.
Rules create freedom at ever higher levels.
Freedom requires responsibility.
Responsibility binds you.
Bondage is not all negative.
Nothing can operate, indeed nothing can exist without bonds.
Every structure is mostly a set of connections.
What is your body? It isn’t really the atoms and molecules within it. They come and go. It is actually the structure, the relationships of those atoms and molecules.
What is a church, or school, or business, or country? It isn’t the people or the buildings, or the equipment that currently keep it operating. It is the structure, the relationships.
Everything that exists is an organization; a set of connections, rules, relationships and structures. All are (nearly) synonymous with bonds.
OK, we have established that bonds are extremely basic. What new insights might that shed light on next?

Dreamspeak sessions
For me, recent massage sessions are evolving to work more with energy than muscles. During that time we follow the energies and usually end up with visions and other messages.
They seem to bring up messages more in the language of dreams than logic.
I am coming to call these dreamspeak sessions.
Saturday was a terrific dreamspeak session that brought lots of progress. Sunday morning I woke up and stared at the ceiling which is covered with a random sprayed on texture. Like clouds, its randomness lets me see whatever pictures are in my message.
This morning I saw plain and clear...
A heart chakra
The heart grew
then made many connections
then blossommed into a flower (tulip or lotus)

Ultra narrow focus
This morning I woke up with a message in my head… “It is time that you focus on some teeny narrow topic. The focus will open up new worlds of knowledge. It will show you analogies that will shed light on some of the most important aspects of the universe. DO IT! “
I have often had what I called the lesson of the week or the lesson of the month. It was a topic of fascination and philosophical conversations for a while. After it yielded many fascinating insights into god and the universe, I would be given a new topic.
One silly little physics phenomenon fascinated me for almost 20 years before the time was right to start studying it in great detail. It was Ultra Narrow Bandwidth. By focusing on this impossibly slow and narrow topic, I grew faster than ever before in my life. It resulted in fascinating insights into life, relationships, business and the nature of the universe. (It also earned a decent living for me and hundreds of others.)
There is another topic that has fascinated me for most of my life. I have not told anyone about this fascination until recently because it was not acceptable in the main stream of my culture. A month or two ago, I started realizing that perhaps it ran deeper than only this lifetime. My mind was opened to the vast amounts of psychic energies that could be wrapped up in this silence, this fear about acknowledging a basic and recurring need within me.
Since that time, I have been telling a few trusted people that all my life I have been fascinated by being tied up.
(You can now take one of two stands…
“ Is that all? After such a buildup? Man are you repressed or what?”
or “Ohh, one of those weirdos huh?”)
This is not an unusual fascination. There are many web sites devoted to the topic. What I think is special is a new realization that this is not really about sex. It involves deep energies that may transcend multiple lifetimes and even our contract with god about being in this reality.
These are strange words to come from me. I have always been the rational scientific type. My point of view is widening to include more psychic and spiritual phenomena and how they may relate to the physical life we know.
Anyway, I have been and will be focusing on the feelings and energies associated with being bound. So far it has been yielding some fascinating analogies and insights about the nature of relationships.
