Proof Of Life (update)
Hello!
I'm alive!
I haven't posted in so long because I forgot I had this.
Recently I've been itching to share my thoughts about things again. And in a format that isn't facebook. So here this is. Nothing but a greeting and update. Will be sharing some optimism in the next blog. Cool.

Finishing The Puzzle
as we experience great change and upheaval occurring all over the planet, (and i'm expecting it to go to eleven this year), what we tend to do sometimes is assume that new information which falls outside of our understanding is not true or relevant and we immediately dismiss it as obsolete or invalid. what this is is a lack of interest in finishing a puzzle. are you already happy with the small portion of the picture you started? or are you interested in seeing more of the picture? try not to dismiss anything as not being part of the big picture. if you don't understand something that comes your way, you could just put it down for the time being and look for the next piece that can connect to what you already have.
i have watched technology increasing and changing in ways that allow more communication between other nations and faster ways to share information with each other. this is a paved way for greater information to be able to be reached to everyone or almost everyone. reality is a puzzle that has no boundary. i would say the bigger your portion of the puzzle, the more compatible your view point might be with more people. we are all looking at the same stuff that is around everyone else. this leads me to believe that there is no separation, just alternate perspectives from which to view everything. technology will enable more pieces of the puzzle to reach us at faster rates thus accelerating everyone's rate at which we make sense of everything.
if no other puzzle pieces are being sought to expand one's part of the puzzle, then one might conclude that eventually, the current portion of the reality puzzle one has so far developed an understanding for won't be enough to make sense of new information that might come along. and it might come faster than one can process it.
here comes an opportunity born out of this situation. should something come "knocking on your door", and you don't understand it, then you could turn to friends and family for assistance. essentially, that assistance is them checking their portion of the puzzle and seeing if they have anything that might help you make sense of this new piece you came across. this opportunity brings us closer to unity consciousness because by asking for assistance, you are also implying they have a part of the same whole you are trying to see more of.
should one not want to connect more pieces and grow their view of reality, expect confusion and frustration. their choice for not growing is okay and honored. i see a lot of people trying to encourage others to rise up and get going and do something already. that's okay as well because that is also their choice. and what they choose is also honored. free choice is honored whether you are choosing things or choosing not to choose things. action will be taken when it is decided on the inside. and no sooner.

What Is My Top Truth?
i would like to create a post today about things we can keep in the focus of our awareness that make life easier to live. I will then discuss using a top truth as it is much easier to keep one tool of thought with you instead of dragging around a list of things to remember all the time.
As we experience reality/life, we sometimes come across an experience that creates discomfort within us. So the idea today is learning how to put in the awareness that which make those experiences easier to experience. After all, isn't it everyone's goal (among the many we have) to feel good all the time? A little adjustment of our thinking can make a huge difference. Oh, and there's nothing to sell you, no classes to attend, nothing you need to physically do.
There are many ways and perspectives to understand causes of dis-ease. This post will side-step that part of it and go straight to the juice.
I will be using myself as an example. Mainly to illustrate what I am talking about exactly as this is an unusual discussion. Then you may use the tools I remind you that you already have and take it from there.
~~~~~~~~~
For me, when I encounter discomfort or frustration or general dis-ease, I am always curious why I feel it and what I can do to get rid of it. (I am using the understanding that thoughts and feelings are something that can be handled and released)
Our awareness includes all things that are processed as data from an experience. (ex: we are aware of the colors of the chair as well as the sounds of the wind, the feeling of the breeze, the taste of the lemonade, and then there is our thoughts.) How do we think of thoughts?
Awareness and what we think are two different things. We can be aware of our thoughts. Which suggests that a thought is something that can be handled or released from our awareness.
So the big question is... What is in our awareness at all times?
Dis-ease, frustration, etc. can show up in our awareness at any time. Which is how we know about them. So how did they get in our awareness? This is a question to ask you yourself.
A major paradigm shift of thinking that is available for all is to know we have control over what we experience. Learning to master what we experience has some pre-requisites of thinking before that can become. One of them being an understanding that having "choice" is a permanently equipped tool of thought. It can never leave us no matter what.
So knowing we always have the tool of 'choice' at our disposal, we can then choose to put specific things in our awareness that we KNOW won't create dis-ease, frustration, etc. or choose to think differently about it.
~~~~~
My top truth as of right now (because it can be swapped at any time for a better one) is that all things experienced is for the transformation of consciousness.
This is a thought that transmutes the experience into an agreeable one.
is there bad news on tv? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
did two people get into a fight? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
did someone say something ugly? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
is there a war going on? it's for the transformation of consciousness.
Short and simple. This is the highest truth I know (so far) and I find it helpful because it has massive amounts of truth to it. How much can someone take of something they disagree with before they start exploring other options and exercising our thought tool called "choice". A transformation will take place. Consciousness would then take what knowledge it has acquired and a change of awareness will happen in favor of what is desired.
I consider this my top truth because I understand that consciousness is at the core of our awareness. And if there is ANY activity going on in the world that someone disagrees with, I know it will eventually lead to a transformation of thought. And there won't be anything bad about learning what we don't want to experience in our awareness. For that also teaches us what we do desire.
All thought is free. We have learned by now that we are free to think anything we want and it doesn't cost a cent. Take my top truth if it works for you, or you can create a better one more suited for how you want to experience reality.
Don't be surprised if something happens to you and you all of a sudden feel lighter. This might just be your own transformation of thought into the realm of mental clarity. On a personal note, if you experience this, take my word for it and throw a big party. a BIG, BIG party.

What is it also?
I would like to speak about understanding understanding. No, that was not a typo.
When we understand something, there opens up an awareness about the understood that wasn't there before. It is a piece of a proposed puzzle that gives more of the image. It is a truth of what is experienced that can be relied on.
So how do we know how to understand something better? I will attempt to touch upon this topic, knowing full well in advance, that I will not even scratch the surface of what this post can open up. The rest is for the ones with the hunger for more.
As a tool, we tend to use our past experiences to help understand a person or situation by way of recalling observed outcomes of similar situations.
Using our past in this way is problematic.
If you're already thinking about how it is problematic before we get into that, then I would recommend you think about this statement while you read on. "Change is the only constant".
We could safely say that the past is the past as it has changed since then. Perhaps that is what makes it the past. The now is not the same as it once was.
When we respond to present situations, we can also safely say that responding in the best way possible is aided by how much we are aware of and how well the situation is understood.
There is a default pattern we fall back on when we attempt to grab hold of a present situation in order to understand it more. We look at patterns. We look as similarities. We look at past situations that resemble the present one. And through conscious or unconscious choice, we respond to the present situation based on our past. Which, because change is the only constant, has changed since then. This is one way the past is kept alive and preferred change is avoided.
How this can be avoided is by understanding what we are understanding about the current situation we find ourselves in. Seeing the things in front of us without inviting the past to aid us in that understanding is a more concentrated experience for us to have. It is a fresh look without past bias.
Without inviting our past observations into the now, how can we feel comfortable making decisions without having those experienced memories?
An answer is by understanding the conditions that surrounded those past observations have changed as well. And any similarities we experience in the present is nothing more than a situation that resembles the past.
When we recall the outcome(s) of a similar situation in our past and explicitly use it as the crutch of understanding the present moment, there is a high probability that the meaning we create out of this bias is far removed from what is actually going on. The question: 'What is it also?' is a bridge question to create the understanding that there is always more to understand.
We discussed how we can respond to what is in front of us without depending on our past to help make sense of it and also discussed methods of understanding the present situation more clearly.
I hope this has been time well spent for you!

Information Packages - Intended Meanings
i wish to discuss 'intended meaning' and using the phrase 'information packages' for a closer look at mechanics of communication.
something is either understood or it isn't.
consider how we communicate with one another and what words are used to exchange understandings. this is what communication is, is it not? an exchange of understandings.
when we communicate with one another, one of two things happen. either the receiver of the information package accepts the intended meaning contained within as best as they can understand it, or they take the packaging, put their own meaning in it and THEN accepts it as what the communicator was trying to communicate. this can be a problem and create conflict. has this ever happened to you?
what is important to realize is that meaning comes from direct experience. all experience is valid and important. it is not helpful to ignore someone's intended meaning by replacing it with our own meaning. this makes it challenging to learn about others and it also stunts our own growth. not to mention how severely limiting that is to our collective evolution.
so how does one get through this natural challenge of communication? let's look at what an information package really is...
when we experience something, we need to be able to call it something so we can share it with others. (we have come a long way, have we not?)
let's look closer at what a word is.
word = an information package. (i.e. each word has a definition describing the meaning of said word and that definition/meaning is the information within the package)
a sentence is a collection of words intended to create a more complex, more focused exchange of information.
the core of communication is an understanding that wants to be expressed to someone or something else. it starts from within us and somehow we decide the best way to communicate this understanding. by: body language, art, speech, sign language, music, facial expressions, etc. the list goes on.
understand, however, that a collection of experiences that make up a meaning cannot and will not mean exactly the same as the meaning someone else understands. it is simply impossible. a goal of communication is to come as close as possible so mutual understandings can be reached.
time: our understanding of things is not necessarily a linear process. the next thing to be experienced could potentially create a wider understanding of something we previously knew about but didn't have the full understanding of. i believe full understanding is complete awareness of everything. (you may see how limited we really are by that statement alone)
we have taken a closer look at the mechanics of communication and what is involved in this process. my intention was to write a perspective on it that may help communications with others go a little easier. being the only one to speak your language is a tough challenge to overcome. i hope this has been a beneficial perspective!
thank YOU!

change of mind, change of heart
i wanted to write something personal today. mainly about what's currently going on with me.
i'm in the middle of a transition. right now i am looking at my future. and what i see is beautiful.
what i wanted to find, i found within myself. not somewhere else.
i was going to leave my city to find a more agreeable one. what i wanted to agree with was the amount of beauty in my surroundings. i don't want to leave a city because of the lack of beauty when i could stay and bring it out of myself and others.
if i have what is lacking, then why wouldn't i want to help fill it? this is my thinking right now.
everyone is an artist. the common understanding of what "artist" means will expand. it will expand to include things not currently considered art. i consider everything art.
i have much confidence and strength in my decision. what is my decision? to help lead a new renaissance period? that sounds right. i will return to this post whenever i need a boost. i know it's a stressful world. i will do my part in making it more enjoyable in someway. and i'll do it with love.
