This World

Our society needs to make a shift in its assumptions equivalent in importance to the shift that was made when Copernicus demonstrated that the Sun, not the earth, was the center of the solar system. Putting the center in the center, instead of putting it on the periphery, straightens out a lot of misunderstandings, and points the way for a society that has become seriously demoralized because it has fallen into confusion. This information is as received Wednesday January 4, 2006 from my discarnate friend David Poynter, with minor editing. Continue reading Recapturing the center

Continuing a conversation with the guys held Thursday January 5, 2006.

(10:10 a.m.) Friends?

We find it difficult to confine any discussion, as you well know. Every subject links up seamlessly with every other subject – in other words, just as, in a sense, there is only one person, so there is only one thought, only one perception, and that is – everything! This is the meaning of the Buddha’s admonition that every time you make a distinction you make an error. Not that no distinctions are to be perceived, but that no distinction is or ever could be absolute. Continue reading Societies and the gods – 2

I reproduce this, with minor editing, as it came to me from my friends Upstairs on Thursday January 5, 2006. It’s long, so I will break it into two pieces.

(8:30 a.m.) All right friends, I’m ready and willing. Who do I have the honor of speaking to today? Or, if you have no one special, I’ll choose.

You may find it easier to continue your long practice of addressing us as a group unless you wish any one of us, and receiving our communications the same way. We appeared this way for a reason. And perhaps this is as good a time as any to go into it a bit.

The question of guidance from what you call “the other side” is not so much a complicated question as it is a tangled one. But we didn’t tangle it from over here! It got tangled because of the various competing or overlapping or antagonistic strands of culture on your end. Continue reading Societies and the gods – 1

One of the attractions of the Monroe Institute, beyond the content of whatever course you happen to be taking, is the other participants. No matter how busy the course keeps you — and Skip and Carol certainly kept us busy enough — there is always time to talk, if only at meals or during the breaks between formal sessions. And although you might think that people sharing such an unusual common interest would tend to be all of a type, you would be wrong. Not only do people come from “all walks of life” as they say, but — or perhaps I should say therefore — all varieties of political opinion are to be met. Naturally, these opinions are not front and center during the week. Still, they come out.

In this Email, Nancy, one of the RV class at TMI, discusses the relative value of sketches and words in remote viewing. I agree with her, actually, and did not mean to imply that words had no value, only that sketching was far less likely than words to convey inaccurate “story.” – Frank

I just read your last blog on the importance of sketches, and not words, in doing remote viewing.

Skip certainly knows tons about this subject. However, he did read several of my “words” from my CRV protocol to the group, and it has been my experience that the more CRV I do, the better I get at words and sketches. Rambling can lead to lots of “castle building or stray cats,” but there is not much rambling in my sessions.

I find that the structure of CRV uses a lot of paper, but leads to more specific data, not just good sketches. So, I hate to hear the notion that following a good procedure to do Remote Viewing means throwing out the words and only looking at sketches. That’s throwing out the baby with the water. Sketches may be very important when trying to eliminate three other pictures, but sketches and “words” are helpful in trying to provide good information on a singular target that may need more accurate and detail information. Monitors often record words, and I imagine they have an impact on the outcome.

You don’t need a lot of in-depth information to throw out three other target pictures, but many targets require much more information than sketches. This has been my experience after “years” (three) of Remote Viewing studies. I prefer good sketches and good words.

My friend Richard (http://thesacredpath.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/hello-world/) alerted me to the on-line magazine called “the Meta Arts,” and to the fact that Hank Wesselman is a regular columnist there. After you absorb the information about him (in the column to the right of his article) I predict that you will go looking for his first book, Spiritwalker, and that you will then continue on to his others. He is an important voice in our time.

This is the beginning of Hank’s latest column. Go to (http://www.themetaarts.com/pages/hankwesselman.html) to find the rest.

The Creator Reconsidered

Our last several columns (11/06-2/07) have provided an overview of the general spiritual reawakening that is going on within an important subculture emerging in the Western world-a group that could be thought of as the Transformational Community. We have also considered the beliefs and values that the transformationals hold dear.

This broad social movement is significant for two primary reasons: 1) Demographer Paul Ray (The Cultural Creatives) has revealed it is represented by at least 60-70 million people in the United States alone, with close to another 100 million in Britain and Europe, and 2) the beliefs and values held by this steadily growing cultural group carry the potential to change the directions of world history.

Either of these points are worthy of a Time Magazine cover story yet curiously, we are still under the radar of the media at large.

Part four. The target, and why

This is the target.

CANTERBURY, New Hampshire

The Shaker dwelling-house bathroom at Canterbury bespeaks communal life. The sister who lives there placed the rocking chairs in front of sinks perhaps on a whim.

 

Does this look like the Alamo to you? If so, I have a bridge I’d like to sell you. And yet, look at how many elements that I had described are in this picture.
