human potential

This from Andy Walbert, who says I may share it. If others also hear from John, or suspect that they do (certainty is not possible, let alone being required, in these matters) I will be glad to share the messages here.

Hi Frank,

I was saddened by news of John Dorsey Wolf’s passing on the blog.

Here’s what I wrote tonight…for what it’s worth. Which may be to show I have a good imagination… Yet part of your gift to me and the world is that it doesn’t matter what you call it, it resonates or it doesn’t. I didn’t think I’d bother you with this, yet the message is to send it…so here it is…

12-26-2016

So, here I am on a Monday night. Good to speak with you guys, gals and the “all of me”… What do I do in response to the news that John Dorsey passed?

Do whatever you want! Remember, you are connected, just because you never met him face to face doesn’t mean you are not connected. You read his posts, and they resonated with you. In the “bigger” field of awareness you are close friends.

1. So I’ll res you up, John, from the small corner of the screen of my attention I thought I saw you waving and saying, Andy, it really works! Is that you John Dorsey Wolf?

Sure it is.

Well, that’s cool, how is the transition going for you?

I’m still figuring things out, and the Love and good thoughts from the community definitely made it easier. It’s like I’m well known, even before introducing myself around!

Well, I’ve enjoyed all your posts and your risk taking. I admire that. I’m sure we’re probably good friends in lots of different ways through the darn crystal that Rita’s World talked about, so as always I’m open to both sending and receiving support.

Well, that would be fine. I know you’re not in a position to pass on messages now, your certainty isn’t there, but if you get past the doubt and second guessing let the folks know that all is well and that like my wife said, I’m a kid in a candy store! Access is a wonderful thing! All is well! (Rita says “Hi!”)

John, forgive me, Rita says Hi to me, to the TMI list, the blog list?

No need to put that in. It was more so you knew Rita and I are connected in the All-D

Well, John sending you energy, even as you wrote of sending it to others. (Least I think it was you talking about sending positive energy.) Talk to you later!

All Love is good! Ta-na-sen!

 

Ever notice how you can never have so many friends that you don’t miss a particular one when he moves on to other things? I got back from two days at my daughter’s to find this email from Carol Wolf about John.

Dear Frank and Dirk,

I am writing to share some sad news regarding my husband, John Wolf. We were traveling to our home in CA on Tuesday and stopped for the night in Pacific Grove – a place we both love for it’s incredible natural beauty. We spent a wonderful evening at the Spanish Bay Inn feeling happy and excited about the upcoming holidays and looking forward to being with many good friends.  But things changed in the middle of Tues night.  John woke up to clear his nose and throat – he had been suffering from a terrible cold – and suddenly collapsed. I believe he passed on before the paramedics could arrive. They did their very best to revive him but it was not to be.

John was extremely thorough and had everything in order just in case …..  On the first page of written instructions to me, he asked that in the event of his death, that I e-mail you both to let you know he had made the ultimate transition.

John was so excited and enthusiastic about all he had learned from you. He valued your input as he progressed on his spiritual journey. I believe you became mentors to him.  He would read and reread and then read some more on what you had written. It definitely resonated with him. He was a changed man in all the best ways because of his new learning and his relationship with you.

If anyone can reach him, I have a feeling it is you. And I would love to hear from you if that occurs. I’m sure in his enthusiastic way he is enjoying and experiencing his new life to the nth degree.

I thank you so much for all the wisdom you passed on to my very special guy. He and I will be forever grateful.

Carol Wolf

I asked if she had any objection to my sharing the news among our community, saying “I agree with you, we should be able to contact him if anybody can, and of course we’ll let you know what we hear. There’s no knowing if it will be soon or late, of course. After Rita went over, six and a half years passed without contact (if you don’t count a couple of dreams that assured me she was fine). But, we’ll see. There was a real connection there, and I am very sorry we won’t get to have “the cup of coffee to think things over” that he had suggested.”

And Carol said:

Thank you Frank. I think John would like you to share with his TMIE family the fact that he is no longer with us – here.

He was more than prepared for this journey and that gives me great comfort. I have a feeling that as all this becomes more of a reality I’m going to be missing him even more. He had such endless positive energy – so it’s hard to not have that around me. But I am surrounded by a network of very loving family and friends – they have all offered tremendous support – so I know I’m going to be alright.

John talked so highly of you – a wonderful relationship that meant so much to him. You challenged his thinking and that was the way he lived his entire life – always seeking a new challenge – and then he’d go in 150%

With gratitude,

Carol

John was great in last April’s AIG class, and here, and as guest author on my blog. I often wondered if he had a book in him. But apparently he prefers a more direct form of exploration now. I don’t know whether to say “we’ll miss him” or “I expect we’ll be hearing from him.” Anyway, now you know.

 

 

Picking Power–And Its Consequences

A lesson for me that may be useful for others.

By John Dorsey Wolf

There are many kinds of power that thrive in our 21st century American materialistic society. For example: money power; idolizing power of entertainers, sports figures, supermodels; political power; power of position or job authority, and powers to govern and protect.

It is not uncommon to witness these powers being sought in excess or abused.  Beliefs in a dead-end universe, where life is accidental and without meaning; where life ends at death with no spiritual realms or existence of spiritual beings; where we exist alone and isolated to fend for ourselves for food, clothing, shelter, health, and physical safety exacerbate fears that fuel excesses and abuses.

Our society breeds other kinds of powers as well: creative, entrepreneurial, pioneering, self-initiating, competitive, risk-taking, paradigm-shifting powers with emphasis on independence and freedom of choice for every individual.  There are powers of support, compassion, and respect that can be energized.

Yet there are many people (including me) who feel powerless at one time or another.  They do not feel in control of their lives, their own welfare, or that of their family.  They feel powerless in the face of man-made or natural disasters, greed, diseases, recessions, corruption, oppression, racism, violence and abuse.

A friend points me to these tips from Papa Hemingway. I don’t like number three, which everyone else seems to, but the rest seem true to me.

[My friend John Dorsey Wolf sends this, which I found persuasive as well as very interesting!]

Since attending the Heartline program at The Monroe Institute in October, I’ve been getting material and guidance on the general topic of acceptance.

Sometime in the middle of the night this November I woke up with a very clear message: “Psalm 42”.  I wrote it down, and in the morning I looked it up. Possibly written by King David during a period of separation from his sanctuary,  it describes a thirst for communion with God, in spite of taunting by his enemies.

It was not immediately clear why I was awoken with this message.

Shortly after this, fellow TMIE participant, Provi, made available Rev G. Val Owen’s books.  They describe a reality from “The Life Beyond the Veil”, primarily from a Christian perspective.  I found this material fascinating, even riveting in many respects, resonating with parts of me.

[My friend Jim Austin sends me this, which I am happy to post.]

(Frank, I [and my wife] find the following very compelling and worth some attention; feel free to post if you feel it fits your blog.)

The following is from the October 1, 1995 session with Elias. It has been moderately edited to make Elias’ ‘accent’ more readable, and his idioms more familiar to those of us who read material from TGU, Rita, and Frank’s other sources. The original is available at http://eliasforum.org/transcripts/E41_100195.html, starting at the end of the fourth paragraph and including the next two.

Elias’ phrase ‘shift in consciousness’ seems to be what Rita refers to as the Change: much greater connection to our higher self. Elias says his purpose is to ‘reduce the trauma’ of this shift, presumably by helping us better understand how it relates to the events of our day, and how our connection to guidance/higher self/essence can help.

On Jan. 20, 1832, when he was not quite 29, young Ralph Waldo Emerson penned this prayer in his journal. Can anybody alive today say he wasn’t foresighted? And if true then, how much more true now!

“Don’t trust children with edge tools. Don’t trust men, great God, with more power than he has, until he has learned to use that a little better. What a hell should we make of the world if we could do what we would! Put a button on the foil till the young fencers have learned not to put each other’s eyes out.”
