Welcome..

to this quarterly issue of Vision in sync with the Fall Equinox.  Consciousness and the resultant peace is on the rise.  And while we can see it in our mind's eye and in our personal circumstances, we are beginning to be able to see it in the big cities as well, though it often starts out as communities within communities as I am beginning to discover here in Los Angeles.  I call it "Islands of the New in a Sea of the Old.."™

Wishing you awesome choices and a better ear for the Divine..

Speaking of consciousness..  I have been listening to Dr. David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD in some of the archival digital recordings and it is interesting to put our collective conscious evolution into some sort of perspective.  Humanity has been rapidly moving toward becoming a conscious species – much more rapidly than maybe we have noticed. There seems to be no doubt about it.  And, while we have wars and famine and genocide and poverty, we also have huge successes as the true and silent leadership portion of the species quietly and steadily unfolds its progress. 

If we were to look at our recent successes as a species, our near beginning point might be when the Magna Charta was penned in 1215ad, or when humanity began to flower during the Italian Renaissance which carried us to the Industrial Revolution and the Declaration of Independence, which eventually bopped us into the Nuclear and Space Age (which rapidly came and went) and most recently delivered us to the Information Age and Age of Technology. And, while the invention of the wheel might have taken several centuries to come into common usage, we are now doubling our learning curve and information gathering capacity in as little as 18 months with a capacity to share this information practically instantly. Humanity's evolution is moving very rapidly these days and we can readily assume that it will continue to escalate!

My point and Dr. David Hawkins point?  Humanity is very rapidly rushing toward conscious awareness and all of the huge benefits this entails.  Do you realize the scale of expansion that humanity has experienced in the past 50 years?  (Have you driven a 1960's vintage automobile lately?)  According to Dr. Hawkins, it was in 1987 (around the time of the Harmonic Convergence – a full 20 years ago!) that humanity (as a whole) suddenly achieved  a measure of over 200 on Dr. Hawkins' Map of Consciousness scale.  207 to be exact; representing the true emergence of humanity's movement beyond reactionary thinking and into more useful modes of expressing itself.  In 1987, humanity began what will come to be seen as an even more exponentially rapid rise toward a new consciousness, awareness, prosperity and capacity for problem solving.

It is a very interesting time we are living in.  Our evolution is moving so fast we don't even realize how far we have come in just our own lifetime.  Slowly and more rapidly, fear and doubt, once the primary catalyst for our choices and decision making is being replaced by courage and the higher octaves of consciousness including neutrality, acceptance, reason, joy, and unconditional love.  It is in this new unbridled capacity for choice initially powered by courage that humanity is rapidly redefining its capacity to evolve.

Are there issues? Sure there are issues!  Are there problems?  Sure, there are problems! Are there insurmountable problems?  You mean more insurmountable than huge lizards plucking early hominids from their homes (caves) and eating them as snacks on the run?  Being a bit facetious, humans have always had problems and it is out of their problems that they grew and became more.  This principal is called "out of contrast comes clarity" and has been the foundation that pushed our growth to new levels.

Recommendations:

Snatam Kaur  In May, I took a three week driving vacation up the California coast, spent quite a bit of time in the Redwoods and discovered Snatam Kaur at a concert in Ashland.  I am astounded by her music.  You can hear samples on her home page at www.snatamkaur.com and buy packages of her music at SpiritVoyage.  I started with "Grace" and now own 5 of her CD's. Endlessly enjoyable!

Laurence Gardner  Years ago, I got out of my car to see a book beaming at me through the glass window of a bookstore which I promptly bought.  It was called Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock and has had a huge influence on me.  I have since read most of his books, and recently I moved on to Laurence Gardner who might be likened to Graham Hancock on steroids. Gardner offers a very high quality scholarly perspective and though he a bit more difficult to read than Hancock, he is well worth the effort!

Knowledge about our connection with Source, about our relationship with God and the part we play in the cosmos, is about our true potential as human beings. 

--Chapter 1, Survival, Pg 10

Geeky Squeaky..  I always think I don't have time to write this little column but before long an idea pops into my head.. Hmm..  Maybe that is how solutions show up.  And, what popped into my head this time was to quickly explain how I use VoIP as my primary telephone service.  VoIP is "Voice over Internet Protocol" and it is quite interesting.

Most of the new digital telephone companies (Vonage, Verizon, Packet8 and the other dozens of digital upstarts) provide lower cost services and arrive via VoIP which simply means your telephone service is now routed over the Internet instead of telephone lines.  Interestingly, this wasn't initiated by the phone companies but probably some young kid on a college campus somewhere. 

For example, in my new apartment, I do not have traditional telephone service other than my cell phone.  (Wait! Traditional telephone service now means a cell phone?  Do you see how fast we are moving?)  Instead, I use Skype for my incoming and outgoing calls - local and long distance.  I can call anywhere in the world, to landlines almost anywhere in the world for about two cents a minute, and to other Skype users for free. 

Do you see how technology is evolving/emerging as humanity continues to evolve?  It will turn out that technology is our best friend!  Do we think we are going to have a Soylent Green (movie) future just because of someone's dysfunctional perspective about the future?  I do not think that is a possibility - at all.

Nope..  The cost of communicating with the rest of the planet is moving toward free or very close to free. Now-a-days, you can have clients/relationships anywhere in the world.  Between the Internet, email and now picking up a digital phone, anybody can be in touch with anybody and share solutions with anybody else.  This is where we are going as a species.  Communications is moving toward unlimited.  And, ultimately, as humanity moves toward its solutions, we will see innovation quickly redefine the cutting edge with communications being right up there at the top.  The higher vibration of a solution orientation is going to simply overrun the old because fear and doubt doesn't have much staying power.  You can count on it.

I don't pay much more than $60 a year for my incoming phone number, voice mail, local service, unlimited long distance to the US and Canada and extremely inexpensive rates to the rest of the world. The latest innovation is a USB (to RJ11) Adaptor that allows me to use a traditional telephone handset (and speakerphone!) with Skype.  Skype has been known as a free "headset and microphone plugged into the computer" method of communicating but that is changing fast.. 

And, did I mention the quality of the call?  It is much better than landline calls and so much better than cell phone calls.

California Dreamin' 

Huge changes for me!  I just moved to Los Angeles and I absolutely love it here!  I love the people, the culture and the weather.  The sun is mild, the weather idyllic, and the people seem far more conscious than any other place I have ever been!  There must be something to the "California Dreamin' lifestyle I've always heard about.  And while there is traffic and parking has become an art form, the quality of life from a consciousness perspective readily overshadows the seeming drawbacks. 

I was somewhere taught that as we get more crowded into the big cities that we will turn on each other like rats in a cage, but I haven't see it here.  In fact, I didn't see it on recent trip to Manhattan either.  I found a surprising amount of kindness in the canyons (tall buildings and city streets) that is Manhattan and I find the same thing here.  As people are squeezed together they seem to become a little more allowing of each other and become their brother's keeper just a bit more.  I see a great deal of politeness and friendliness from total strangers..  Of course, almost everybody is a stranger..

And, then there is the Agape International Spiritual Center just down the street.  Michael Beckwith and his family and friends and congregation are a huge force in Los Angeles. Agape hosts at least 4,000 people through 3 morning services.  There is also a service on Wednesday evenings that is full.  The sanctuary seats about 1,350 people and they fill it up every time!  That is a lot of inquiring minds in one place absorbing, listening and contributing at a soul level.  And, Michael and Agape support projects and ministries all over the world. 

It is wonderful to become part of a very "functional" church/alignment of people willing to practice what they preach.  For example, I just joined a group within Agape that facilitates small groups that meditate all over Los Angeles.  Astounding to see what people can accomplish in love and an awareness that you can give more than you can keep..  If you are interested, you can join the AgapeLive Online Community and lend your essence to something that is "very good!"

Did I mention the music? Oh my God, to borrow an expression..           Dr. Rickie Byars-Beckwith, Rickie BB to those around here, leads the most powerful musical experience I have ever experienced besides maybe 5th row center seats in front of the Moody Blues a few years ago under the influence of certain herbs.  Can you imagine "church music" where your body trembles at the height of the energy of the music, or whistling at the end of the song is quite acceptable?

I would put this well ahead of Disneyland or Universal Studios "to see the shark*," on your next visit to Los Angeles. Frankly, I would fly in to catch several of the Sunday services, maybe even the Sunday evening service and then fly home with a realization that all is "weller" than "the whisperings of neighbors" might have you think..  *Quote taken from the film "Get Shorty."

Introducing the

Science of Receptivity

OUT of the work of VisionariesLabs comes a whole new science and teaching that I call the Science of Receptivity. The ultimate purpose of the Science of Receptiv-ity is to bring individuals into a refined resonance and connection with the Cosmos.  As you may know our inner guidance is built-in and only needs to be dusted off and tuned-up, so to speak.  And when we come to a substantial understanding of the Law of Attraction combined with our innate guidance system, we become nonlinear - quantum if you will, dynamic and very rapidly I believe, whole human beings.

Ultimately, everybody would love to function at a higher level of efficiency with solutions at their fingertips, synchronicities at their every step and resonance pouring from their eyes, and soon this is to be the case as we even more quickly evolve to our possibilities with the tools of the 21st century. 

It turns out we have a very complex antenna system built right into our bodies which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and miles and miles of nerves commonly known as the human nervous system*.  And while the human nervous system is somewhat understood, in addition to being an internal messaging system for the body, it is also an external messaging system for our connection with Innate Intelligence; something every living thing possesses. (*VTAT, Footnotes, Chapter 6, pg 288)

Because humans, with their sophisticated nervous systems, seem to have been dropped a time or two (similar to dropping a Steinway piano a couple of times), we have become out of tune with our connection and inadvertently given up access to much of our internal guidance.  But when we balance our nervous system and come to a more useful understanding of the Law of Attraction we have a very powerful mechanism from which to leap forward. As we recover our innate system of guidance, we come to the door of infinite possibilities.  Ultimately, everything we need is a matter of receiving.  I call this the Science of Receptivity.

The Law of Attraction has become quite the buzz lately thanks to Abraham-Hicks, the movie The Secret and so many others and rightfully so.  But most of us don't yet know how to use it in other than a linear manner and therefore use it quite haphazardly and even recklessly.  After all, we are all pretty powerful, and though we are shut off from our innate guidance and our priorities are askew, we continue to strive to do better every day.

What has become increasingly obvious is that most of the reality creating on this planet is a product of using the Law of Attraction backwards.  In other words, much of our reality creating is based on 1) pushing against what we don't want (resistance is focus), or 2) choosing what we want based on what we don't want.* If, according to the Law of Attraction what we focus on expands, and human beings inadvertently broadcast even the tiniest amount of fear and doubt or resistance as part of their 24-hour-a-day outgoing prayer and broadcast, they are going to experience exactly what they put out - dysfunctional reality creating. 

How do we know if we create our realities by resistance?  After all, if we are cooking along, our Mercedes payments are kept up, we have a nice home and family, good job, security, etc., what else is there?  Resistance is defined as any level of not allowing the total, entire good that the Universe has for you to come through you.  If you are in any manner shut off from your highest good, resistance is holding you back.

The Squeaky Geek (continued)

With a headset and microphone, it seems you are in the same room with the person you are talking to, no matter whether they are in Moscow, Guadalajara or just down the street.  A good handset is almost as good as a headset.

Don't let the newspaper headlines fool you. Corporations would prefer to you to live in a little box accepting crumbs from your handlers - at a pace of extracting profits that you can live with.  There is an alternative and it is the natural evolution of the species. As humanity expands, its needs will be met, by a solution orientation in alignment with the Cosmos.

By the way, if you choose to work with Skype, you will have to fiddle with it a bit to get it working at its best possibility because you will be practically on your own.  If you are new, start with a digital microphone (USB port) and headset and after you become familiar with Skype, then add the USB Adapter to move to a traditional handset.  Or give Vonage or one of the rest of them a try..  (I have heard it is hard to get out of a Vonage agreement, though..)

Did I mention free video calling is part of this package between Skype users?  Same thing with SightSpeed, but I much prefer Skype.

I recommend Skype.  If you could see just how fast the world is unfolding beyond the blaring headlines and racket of those who say it is so, your visionary focus would become second nature in no time.

The Author's Corner

by J.Hamilton

Wish I could figure out how to explain how fast things are moving..  Speaking of moving, I never thought about my move, though I could feel it coming for about a year.  And then, suddenly one day it happened and I found myself on the sidewalks of Santa Monica after returning my U-Haul truck.  That was quite a surprise!  The whole thing was over and done in three weeks, including the looking, finding a place and the actual move.  All without a plan and without much warning.  What a trip!

Something else interesting.  In the home page of VisionariesLab, several years ago, I wondered if starlight has any influence or guidance on life on this planet..  Not only is the movie Stardust quite interesting, Babylon Candles and all, but I recently ran into a phrase in Starseed Transmissions (featured last issue) that was curious..

"This and the direct assimilation of starlight are to be the mechanisms of eternal life.."

--last chapter of Starseed  Transmissions paragraph 18

Not a bad note to end on.  Enjoy yourself.

Two films this time.

Sicko was powerful because it identified how very naive we are as a population believing the artificial entities are taking our best interests at heart and doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.  Michael Moore, while sensational (as we all should be) illustrates, in his own manner, the greed and avarice that powers America.  Not really a good example of visionary work, because of its extensive reporting of the problem, but an interesting film anyway.  And an interesting quote from Tony Benn, one of the longest running members of the UK's Parliament sums it up..

Keeping people hopeless and pessimistic - see I think there are two ways in which people are controlled - first of all frighten people and secondly demoralize them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern.

Now, on to the good stuff!   How many have seen "Stardust" and how many times have you seen it?  I will admit to seeing it three times but I taped the dialogue the 2nd time because I heard so much interesting stuff. It opens with a query:

A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?" Pointless, really...”Do the stars gaze back?" Now *that's* a question.

Symbolism is rampant with villager's living within a walled village with rumors of an extraordinary secret on the outside.  Michelle Pfeiffer plays a witch (can't tell you if she is a good witch or not), and Robert De Niro plays a very unusual part..  Some of my interest was caught by the use of "Babylon Candles" as a method of traveling at the speed of candlelight..  Enjoy!
