Escape to the Present
Consider a time line.
This time line is fundamentally a mathematical construct. We contrive a three arbitrary points — a point in the past, a point for the present, and a point in the future.
It is not unusual for people to have the experience of time flowing from the past to the future. Continue reading
Do we see reality as it is?
We do not, nor can we, see the real world — not as we are. Humans evolved to not see the real world. Because seeing the real world does not help us survive.
Instead we see an augmented reality.
When a bear wanders into our vicinity, we do not see the bear. We see an icon that represents the bear.
Why? Because the icon can be fashioned to help us act in a manner that will improve our chances of survival. Seeing the real bear apparently does not do as well.
We are programmed by our DNA, and trained by our experience to see icons rather than reality. Continue reading
Fluid Attention & Crystallized Attention
Fluid attention and crystallized attention are defined by the qualities of the director of the attention — not the attention itself. Fluid and crystallized are terms referring to the meta form of attention.

Question: “Hi , can you give me ideas on wordings so that i can run for my family members as a whole — and be as effective as doing it individually. It really stresses me out, as i have not been able to do for everyone individually. I have tried to use “family” or “home and family” but my mind pops up every time, and it distracts and asks: what does “family” mean? Is it parents or parents & brother or even grandparents…or what about uncle’s family and cousins. Please help me sort this out.”
Continue readingQMV Why Use “I” When Running For Another
There was a question recently about the proper translation of the Quantum Magic Videos affirmations when doing a run for another.
“When running for myself, translating the “you” of the affirmation into “I” makes sense. That part is easy. But, when I am running for another person should this not be the person’s name — such as Susan?”
When running for another, you are running “for” the other person. One becomes a full proxy. “I embrace the Clear Light” translates as the other person embraces the Clear Light.
If you say “Susan embraces the Clear Light” the proxy connection is weakened. Using the third person reference re-enforces the notion “they are not me, I am not them.” That is why I would not do it that way.
By saying “I embrace the Clear Light” even though you clearly know you are doing all of this on behalf of Susan, that will underscore and make more real the proxy connection.
The runner and the person they run for are still individuals, but during the time of the run it is like an overlay where they both occupy the same place and experience the same things. So using “I” is most correct.
Do the run as you would do the run when running for yourself. But you are fully doing it for the other and giving the benefit to them without regard.

Recientemente, se formuló una pregunta sobre la traducción correcta de las afirmaciones de Quantum Magic Videos al hacer un recorrido para los demás.
«Cuando corro para mí, traducir el “tú” de la afirmación a “yo” tiene sentido. Esa parte es fácil. Pero, cuando hago el recorrido para otra persona, ¿no debería ser este el nombre de esa persona, como Susan?»
Cuando se hace el recorrido para otro, se está haciendo el recorrido «para» la otra persona. Uno se convierte en un proxy, un representante, completo. Se traduce «recibo la Luz Clara» cuando la otra persona recibe la Luz Clara.
Si dices «Susan recibe la Luz Clara», la conexión del proxy se debilita. El uso de la referencia en tercera persona refuerza la idea de que «ellos no son yo, yo no soy ellos». Por eso no lo haría de esa manera.
Al decir «recibo la Luz Clara», aunque usted sabe claramente que está haciendo todo esto en nombre de Susan, eso subrayará y hará más real la conexión proxy.
El corredor y la persona para la que se hace el recorrido siguen siendo individuos, pero durante el tiempo del recorrido es como una capa donde ambos ocupan el mismo lugar y experimentan las mismas cosas. Así que usar «Yo» es lo más correcto.
Haz el recorrido como lo harías cuando lo haces para ti mismo. Salvo que lo estás haciendo completamente para el otro y dándole el beneficio sin más.

Drive-By Service
In an effort to sort out a few things concerning the nature of spiritual traditions in the current world, I’ve started a short series of blogs. They are a bit random. And, they are a bit organized. You are welcome along for the ride.
The world is a wee bit different. That should not come as a surprise. What comes as a surprise is how much of our thinking and presumptions have not been updated to take into account these differences.

Note: The following exercises are not instructions for finding ghost whispers or any other non-proximate phenomena. Rather, it is hoped that this material will function as hints on how to look for those voices.
These instructions are hints on “how” to look, not “where” to look.
“Where” to look is left to the seeker. There are many places where one can find non-proximate voices. One such place is using the Super Beacon. However, there are many other places as well.

In programming and web-development there is a thing called graceful failure (or graceful degradation).
A fault-tolerant design enables a system to continue its intended operation, possibly at a reduced level, rather than failing completely, when some part of the system fails.

Let’s see how this might apply to the Four Lines from the American Book of the Dead. (also known as The Voyager’s Quatrain) Continue reading
What next?
Today I was asked if I had any encouraging words for someone that found themselves in the aftermath of major surgery. The condition was definitely life threatening, the surgery was very much a success. But the individual was left in a delicate situation — feeling very mortal, interrupted, on a slow mend, and seriously asking the question “What next?” Below is my response. Continue reading
