Evolution Growth Change
Evolution Growth Change
Looking back at my past life
Mistakes that seemed unforgivable
Crises that threatened to destroy everything
Or so I thought — My place in the world
And Universe — Now seem small and inconsequential
In retrospect — Except in how they shaped my evolution
And development as a human being
Small and large — Sometimes in ways that I only now
Understand and only partially grasp
I can’t blame anyone else but myself
Yet I can explain by describing how others
Might have been wrong, at least in regards
To what would be best for me — Yet who can say
How even the smallest changes in one life
Might positively or negatively affect the future
Present, now — A trillion trillion combinations
Of moments and choices over the course of human
History — And my own — Even if I have only lived
Once, my soul — There is almost an infinity of alternatives
Parallel courses of history, all existing simultaneously
Until the present moment — And choice — Love and life
Time — In my own life and the life of the world — Universe
Who can tell if I am not in fact better for all my mistakes
My parents, grandparents, ancestors from all over the world
The ambiguity and uncertainty in my own life and mind today, tonight
Might not be such a terrible thing after all — As long as it does not
Cripple, the door to the void open too much, more than just a crack
Some evolution along with the involution, meeting in the present moment
Future present for every living being sharing the world of possibilities
Growth and change, spiral life, and the arrow and circle of time
The maps in my head can be useful but discovery and exploration
Landscape of my mind and environment, greater and more wondrous
Than even my dreams — The maps help me when I get lost
Sometimes even helping me find the right path, or at least realize
I was on the wrong one in the past, and I can choose a different one
Perhaps even one from a long time ago, in the future past
That is yet new to me now — As long as I am moving forward
With an open heart and mind, in balance with my true self and the cosmos
Nature, love — The forces of order, chaos, and balance between the two
The Universe of Universes and the world we all inhabit, one of many
I am content and maybe even happy, for now — I must train myself
To be alright with the uncertainty and productive chaos of the world
That can be a blessing and not just a curse — As long as I keep
Trying to find some kind of order here, there — Truth within
Myself, if I have the right keys to understanding the all in all
The world and my place in it — Life continues ever onwards
As long as life continues on — And we learn from our mistakes
Become better stewards of the Earth and Air and Water — Soul
Of nature, fire of spirit — Humanity — We are only at the beginning
Of our history as a species, only limited by our imagination as a species
Imaginations or lack thereof — Our petty rivalries, ancient quarrels
Among groups of people, desire for power over others, outdated ideas
Ideologies of rigid control or complete freedom without consequences
No order at all — Out of balance with ourselves and nature
Yet we are learning — The old ways that no longer work fade away
With time and evolution of the human mind and spirit towards the source
Giving consciousness, room to new ways of organizing life and spirit
Some so old that they are completely foreign to us, some completely new
Ancient and future paradigms that can allow us to live in harmony
With ourselves and the Universe as one entity experiencing itself, ourself
Becoming aware of all aspects of existence and reality — Life and love
No greed or lust for power over one another and the planet
Belonging to the land, water, air, and sky, more than the other way around
Using our intelligence and wisdom to perform a sacred duty of helping
Life to flourish in ever more diverse and beautiful forms on Earth
And when we are ready, planets beyond our own solar system
Stars and galaxies far out in the infinite darkness, blue and white
Calling to us and keeping us company at night — Giving our sun a break
Dimensions and worlds within the deepest parts of our souls, of stars
And in the vast emptiness of space and time, yet almost bursting with light
Meaning and light even in the deepest darkness, the spark of life
Uniting and bringing together disparate individual souls
Throughout the Cosmic Ocean — Binding and bridging our Universe
With each part of itself, realities beyond this physical realm
Dimension, parallel universe — Doorways of consciousness
We can access with the right keys, and the knowledge of where they are
Awareness of the multiple forms of life, light, love everywhere
Inside us and outside our souls, all around us — Beyond
There is always more to discover and explore, always more
Beyond and within our own mind, body, and spirit — Our souls
Connected to the universal cosmic consciousness and awareness
The World of the Future
The World of the Future
Advanced technology and more wisdom to go with
The ever changing human spirit, that yet remains
The same essential nature, better than it used to be
Better than things once were overall — The Hero
And Heroine — Come into the world to save us all
Yet we are all heroes, literally and figuratively
I awake and it is the future — One hundred years have passed
While I slept — Now I am in a world I barely recognize
Though the landscape remains essentially unchanged
Everything else is different: people, buildings, transportation
Not just in the Mega Cities, but also where I live at the edge
Of the misty mountains and its temperate rainforest
What once was a national park and is now a global one
Still the most diverse collection of communities of life
In the world — An ecosystem held in trust for the future
Generations to come, that have already come, for me
A traveler from the distant past unaware of how I came to be
Here now in the 22nd century of the common era
And outside the global park, as well as inside the borders
Free, plentiful, and clean energy available for everyone
The Sun, Wind, Earth, Water, and Cosmic forces of Sky
Harnessed for the benefit of all, with no cost or restriction
For those who use energy for heating, traveling, growing food
Essentially a paradise compared to the past, yet with some problems
Even in Utopia — But no hunger, poverty, or institutional injustice
A global government with local control through democratic means
And different styles of living in the hundreds of Mega Cities
Spread out over Planet Earth, unique yet unified by common interest
Peace and stability, order within the chaos of life and ever-increasing
Knowledge and wisdom about life, the universe, and the cosmos beyond
And in our space-time ship that I am lucky enough to have access to
Our first priority is to our home planet, and the stars and planets in our galaxy
And the stars and planets in galaxies beyond our own
Home — In all dimensions, universes, worlds connected
Parallel, alternate, pocket within and yet outside
The physical universe we call home
Even though I can go back to the world I once knew
The time of great transition at the beginning of the 21st century
I am not ready yet — There are so many beautiful and amazing things
Left to see, learn, and do in this new world of the future, yet now present
Reaching Higher Ground by First Descending into Darkness and Shadow
Reaching Higher Ground by First Descending Into Darkness and Shadow
We descend into the underworld, the rise
To a higher realm of consciousness and awareness
We are at the edge of the great mystery
As far as we can go and yet return to the world
We have left behind to go on this journey of ours
My brothers and sisters and I — Friends and companions
In search of a lost soul who can help us defeat our enemies
The King of Elfland, the missing lord of the world of Faerie
And the key to winning our conflict with the dark powers
The Shadows — Beyond lost, and yet still capable of love
Of a sort — Yet they must be fought, for the danger they pose
To we the living souls of the physical universe of beauty
And danger — Temptation for jealous beings of great power
From beyond the veil of darkness, the chaos of the void
In Between stars and also beyond and inside them, sometimes
The Great Turning: Beyond Good and Evil
The Great Turning: Beyond Good and Evil
Trying to understand how we got here
By boat to a distant island
Loving the woman I am with
Strange yet oddly familiar too
When together we know much more than apart
I read a book and she thinks about life
She puts my hand in her hand
Her simple touch is complete ecstasy
A millenia old reincarnated magician
Flying over cult members chasing me
Telling the other people about the danger
Giving hope and using magic to heal the land
Trees and mountains, friends and family
Serving the other people as best he can
Fighting against evil with the weapon of love
Fighting against manipulation by fear and hate
Life always creates new versions of itself through diversity
The universe trends towards peace freedom justice
We must work together to realize our dreams
Overcome fear and selfishness to discover
Who we truly are beyond the limitations of ego
Peace freedom love compassion justice
Understanding interconnected interbeing
Living in peace as one with each other
Global consciousness transcending duality
Immanent mind pervasive love laughter light
Energy joy life peace love light
Health equality balance compassion
She rides a horse in a beautiful field of wildflowers
Her beauty rivals the crimson reds violets blues
Quest to save the world from evil
Saved from drowning by prayer and hope
The professor needs the young magician
The young man needs his teacher
Golden peace becoming truth understanding
Love conquers all beyond within peace
Together working for a better future world
Opposing war and destruction and evil always
Ensuring sustainability peace knowledge
Wisdom about life and knowledge about wisdom
Finding a new way based on the oldest ways
Magic love dream vision peace joy
We must transcend lies and separation
Towards peace always with peace for peace
Changing others’ minds along with our own
Together becoming better more just peaceful
Time becoming learning growing transforming
Peace environmental sustainability health
Caring for all life freedom justice compassion
Love truth beauty mystery universe world
Working with one another for the greater good
And the greatest good of the many and the whole world
Within and without, external and internal
Clusters of galaxies and billions of stars
Pattern of Life Love Light
Order from Chaos: Journey from Darkness to Light (Version 1.2)
Order from Chaos: Journey from Darkness to Light
One — The antechambers of the Multiverse — The Source of Chaos and Order
In one parallel metaverse, figures of great power divide control and influence
Through the ages of untold expanses of time in the physical universes next door
A foundation stone, a quantum beginning and end beyond yet containing time
A massive atmosphere of linear progression yet allowing movement in all directions
In another metaverse, parallel yet separate and containing our own physical universe
Flow of water, fire of passion drives souls to where they want to go in the many worlds
Or elsewheres — Currents of Chaos take the mind to various dimensions high and low
In between the two meta universes, the drama of the universe we know as home unfolds
In every dimension and level of existence, from the highest heaven to the lowest hell world
Life continues ever onwards, and love unites all beings in the search for perfection, balance
Whether they are conscious or not — Love transcends all barriers — Light that shines within
All souls great or small — Stars — Agents of divine will both light and anti-light, providing
Conflict which allows for synthesis and ever increasing novelty — even in the darkest abyss
Even in the heart of a black hole — Everyone, everyspace, and everytime has a role to play
In the cosmic drama — We swim in seas of dreaming and fly in skies of adventure — Life
Falling from a great height, on purpose, for fun — With or without a parachute
People can survive — Humanity is always evolving — Magic has become science
We have the ability to fly and fall very slowly — Almost nothing is impossible
As it always was — Yet more people now have access to knowledge than ever before
Two — Four levels, four worlds, four dimensions — The expanse of time and the source
It is possible to go back and forth between — Both inside and outside our synthetic universe
Levels of consciousness, worlds of experience — The many ways of living in the cosmos
Song, mantra, storytelling — Methods of rising to higher levels of awareness — Existence
Of the many aspects of the Multiverse beyond yet intricately linked and containing
The physical world we live in — The stars and galaxies we see every night in the sky
Above us always — It is not wise to anger the powerful here or elsewhere without reason
Especially the gods — There are many doorways from outside of our universe within
Care should be taken to choose the right doorway, the right pathway into our spacetime
Anyplace and anytime is available — But you want to be in the right place at the right time
The worlds and dimensions above and below the physical plane of existence connected
The Source of Chaos and Order — The Twin Metaverses overlapping with our own universe
To form the Multiverse of all possibilities, all dimensions, all worlds, all forms of existence
From the cosmic interplay of Chaos and Order, our physical universe and world is formed
Three — I help build a forest sanctuary safe from beasts of men, animals, demons, gods
Those who would wish my community harm — A great house in the middle of mountains
For friends and family to live and gather together, to stay and make plans, eat and laugh
To share what we know and feel, to make a better future away from the megacities, though
Not completely separate — Connected to make a positive influence in the development
Humanity — A new Culture — Beyond the limitations of fundamentalism and dogma
Four — Uniting to churn the ocean of chaos in a great undertaking of creation and order
Leviathans and other horrors of the deep abyss exiled outside the boundaries of light
Temple of ancient secrets on earth — Home to the records of these heroic deeds of the past
Beginning of the universe — We wait here for millennia for good and true friends to arrive
The council of gods and demons must arbitrate the eternal dispute between old and new
The forces of change and the forces of regression — Fundamentalism and progressivism
The temple at the top of the hidden city of doorways must not fall into wrong hands
Guarded by the chosen ones of the Elder Races, gods and demons, and the Wizards of Light
The company of heroes and immortals for the benefit of humanity, guardians and guides
The Perennial Philosophy — Helpers on the path of human evolution and initiation into
Mysteries of the cosmos — Fight against the influence of the chaos demons and Leviathans
The cosmic abyss outside our universe — To keep the balance between the Metaverses
Between higher and lower dimensions surrounding, encompassing our physical universe
The planet Earth — Keeping us safe from those who wish us harm from beyond the abyss
Five — The council of gods and demons decide to leave the city of doorways, the temple
One of the many crossroads portals to other dimensions, worlds, times, planets from Earth
The Elder Ones leave behind the Wizards of Light to help humanity focus on evolution
To find higher realms of knowledge and wisdom — A few gods and demons also stay behind
To act as guides — Figures from the various great mythologies and religions of humanity
Keepers of the Perennial Philosophy of balance, order out of chaos, becoming amidst being
Six — I plant seeds in wooden containers behind my house — Sophia helps with the garden
Her beauty is a great comfort and adds to the pleasure of planting — She smiles sweetly
She is wearing a white shirt, yet the dirt seems not to stick no matter how much she digs
Her blue floral skirt blows in the cool early spring wind, and I am thankful for her presence
An integral part of of my efforts, not just in the garden but also in the new community
Her help in all things makes me very happy, and I cannot think of anyone I would rather
Have with me right now — Even if only for a short time, since she will have to leave soon
There is much work to be done in the megacities as well as in the mountain forest paradise
Our new home — And she will return I hope — For my home is her home, if she wants it
To be — Whenever she would like to visit or stay — Creating and growing the new Culture
Seven — Plan for the new community — Filling the vacuum left by exodus of older people
Repurposed school buses for public transportation to the larger cities in every direction
A new library at the center of town — A new town hall where tourist attractions once were
Where weekly meetings of the young people decide the best course of action for the future
Outside the borders of the mountain forest community, humanity spreads out past the sun
The megacities provide all comforts and conveniences with the advent of a new golden age
Free, plentiful, and clean energy — An end to poverty, hunger, and inequality — Paradise
Of a sorts — Yet the old forest areas are even more necessary to preserve for the future
Once national parks, now global, expand to include border towns once depending
On tourism to those areas — And the town of Hope, renamed, is one of the key places
Where a kind of utopia has and will continue to develop, in balance with the great Culture
A way for people who want adventure to spend time away from the bosom of the megacities
Not many know of the existence of the secret temple and the hidden city of doorways
Nor that this is the location of the last few Elder Ones and the Wizards of Light on Earth
They are using this new community now within the boundaries of the global forest preserve
To help make a positive influence on the evolution of humanity through the young people
A place where the old magic of nature and balance can be kept as an example for the cities
Through the efforts of the Wizards and their followers — Guardians — Keepers of wisdom

“There are two ways of spreading light, to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” - Edith Wharton
Babylon 5 - What is truth and what is God (by ThePowerOfAMoment)
‘In 185 AD, Chinese astronomers recorded the appearance of a new star in the Nanmen asterism - a part of the sky identified with Alpha and Beta Centauri on modern star charts. The new star was visible for months and is thought to be the earliest recorded supernova. This multiwavelength composite image from orbiting telescopes of the 21st century, XMM-Newton and Chandra in X-rays, and Spitzer and WISE in infrared, show supernova remnant RCW 86, understood to be the remnant of that stellar explosion. The false-color view shows interstellar gas heated by the expanding supernova shock wave at X-ray energies (blue and green) and interstellar dust radiating at cooler temperatures in infrared light (yellow and red). An abundance of the element iron and lack of a neutron star or pulsar in the remnant suggest that the original supernova was Type Ia. Type Ia supernovae are thermonuclear explosions that destroy a white dwarf star as it accretes material from a companion in a binary star system. Shock velocities measured in the X-ray emitting shell and infrared dust temperatures indicate that the remnant is expanding extremely rapidly into a remarkable low density bubble created before the explosion by the white dwarf system. Near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, RCW 86 is about 8,200 light-years away and has an estimated radius of 50 light-years.’
