Something Different

Hey S.D.!  This one's just for you!

You'll be seeing me again soon.   The Green East has taught me a lot.  My own estranged Heart has taught me even more.  But your FoX will return!  

I need the waves of Mother Pacific, I need the smells of Oceany-Beach.  I need the comfort of Jenner & Kiona, and so many Adventures still to come.

I will head back for Love & Peace, and I hope I see YOU there.

If you ever need to collapse into a heap, and be worshipped, I'm your Worshipper.  Do not be afraid.  Its all still here for you.  BUT...

There are Times when you can walk between Two Places.  There are Places where you can walk between Two Times.  Sometimes, a Space-Portal and a Time-Portal Conjunct.  And when that happens you will almost certainly Trip right through.

I stood once at the edge of my Universe.  I made a door into Somebody Else's.  But the Door came in at the wrong spot... Space & Time are tricksy... and she could not grant me access.  I peered so exhaustedly at the Closed Door.  It made me very sad to not be let in.  For I had come to the edge of my Universe.  And things back there.... I shuddered.  It was a very long way back.

Nevertheless what could be done?  There was nothing.  I walked away, I let her go.  You won't always land where you expect.  Willoughby & Gimmelfred's Guide to Astral Projection.  Oh, I hope someday to come to the Right Door... the Rew Door, the Trew Door, the Dea Door.  (These are Secret Things.  You either know these things or you don't.  But, if you don't, and you see me at the Beach, I can teach you.  That's what I'm coming for!)   But by that Time the Doors could lead to completely different Places... A different Universe, a different Face.  S.D. means San Diego, it also means Something Different.    These Shiftings are tricksy, nevertheless you'll get the hang of it.  And go through.  And find what you find.

"This Time Ahead of You there are no pivotal Dates, there is only the Moment.  Act in the Now," says Father Fane.

Rest & Enjoy... maybe look for Garfield... or as Lightning Heart says

"play another rhythm, pick another partner,

retune your instrument, rewrite every line."

And don't forget there is a Battle to Win.

I kissed a Jerusalem Artichoke flower, and she giggled

Last night I drank a bottle of Wine, for in the Wine there is Solace, and Solace, Mother Everything, is what I needed last night.

And as the Wine took me, I began to wander about the dark Garden.  Of course no shoes were on my feet, one walks a very different way when they are shut up inside two shoes.

As I wandered, and there was no Moon, I was drawn to the lovely head of a Jerusalem Artichoke flower.  She was lovely, shy, and sacred.  I approached so slow, with a smile like no other.  And I began to speak my words of affection.

For a moment I let this Jerusalem Artichoke flower be the only soul on the Planet.  It was She Alone that I loved.  I caressed Her.  The way she bobbed about on her stem showed that She was in awe, reverent, humbled to be noticed uniquely amidst so many other heads and flowers!  And then I told Her that I loved Her, and I kissed Her.  And I swear, she giggled!  I heard it clearly!  So I smiled again, and told her it wasn't just because I was drunk, and promised I'd remember Her in the morning, and re-visit.  And this Morning, I did indeed.  The very first thing I did was go straight back to that exact flower head and say Good Morning.  She was sleepy, but she awoke, and she saw me, and she was blessed.

Last night I drank a bottle of Wine, for in the Wine there is Solace, and Solace, Mother Everything, is what I needed last night.

And as the Wine took me, I wandered into the dark Pasture.  I looked up at the Stars and I threw my Arms up for God.  And suddenly my bare feet became aware of a Heat in the Earth, and a Heartbeat, and a Rhythm, and the Soil became Skin, and She swayed beneath me.  I knew & I felt that we were spinning through Space.  I knew & I felt that there are Spirits watching from beyond, from Everywhere, representing every Interest.  There are Spirits that wish us Peace, there are Spirits that wish us Death. 

And as I stood on the living Skin of the Earth I looked up into the Cosmos and I REBUKED that dark Energy which seeks to zap Love from our Hearts.  I said, "Love is Ours!  Love Belongs Here!  Love is God and We are Love!  Love is the Earth itself, it is what keeps us Alive and keeps us  growing.  And you cannot have Love!  You cannot take it from us. Always, Love remains.  And you will fail if you attempt to take it."

And my Words had great authority and the demons heard and trembled. 

In the Wine there is Solace, as in your Precious Blood.

Let my every sip be a communion, as my every Word, a blessing.  And everything I feel, just a Lesson.  Just a new Place to Begin.

The Sun

I am convinced that its a mistake to begin describing God to small children by saying He's Invisible.
It is very hard at times to believe in something Invisible.
And in our times, the number of people who disbelieve in God is alarming, and growing.
And so I propose that we do as did the Ancients, and compare God to the Sun.

A fundamentalist will likely recoil, for fear of the sin of idolatry.  We do not worship the Sun or the Sun God, but it is in fact helpful to think of God as one thinks of the Sun.  Consider:

His Mercies are New Every Morning (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Our God is a consuming Fire (Deuteronomy 4:24)

The Sun is always right over my shoulder as I work in this Garden called Earth.  And even at Night, He is usually reflected by the adoring Mirror called the Moon.  There are Dark Nights and New Moons, to be sure, but in general the Sun is a sign of God's constancy, for he makes it to shine "upon the evil and the good" alike (Matthew 5:45).

The birth of the Sun is December 25, as in quite literally after the Winter Solstice the Sun ceases its seasonal migration and hovers in relatively the same spot until the 25th, when it begins again to climb toward the zenith of the Sky.

The Sun is directly related to every single Life form on this Planet.   Without it there could be no Light, no Heat, no Vegetation, no Photosynthesis.

Consider the similarity between the words Sun and Son.  If God Himself planned Human Language (and I allege that He did) then this similarity has to be significant.

We all rotate around the Sun.  We cannot escape its gravity.  We cannot envision its Death without also envisioning our own.  We are intimately linked.
"In Him we live and move and have our Being." (Acts 17:28)

The God of Scripture is described as so great and glorious that flesh cannot stand in his presence.(1 Corinthians 1:29)  Moses himself feared to look upon God because of the exceeding great brightness of His visage and glory.  Were an astronaut to approach the Sun, they would be consumed and incinerated by that holy heat.

The Sun, if nothing else, is a symbol that all things depend upon One Thing, and that One Thing is far off, but connected to everything, and unapproachable yet eternally beneficient.

In Nature there are abundant signs if we will but see.  Y.E.S.  Yes Eyes See!

"It burns like a mighty fire, it rises like a mighty flame.  Lord my greatest desire is to be sealed in Love by your Name." - Darrell Evans

stepfurther

When W.E. were Younger, W.E. really did believe that Truth could proceed from truth, by steady & logical applications of facts & figures & theories.

Only (k)Now W.E. are Convinced that these were methods W.E. employed, because W.E. did not Trust Ourselves.
Oh, We are Growing, now!
We can feel it when We're Right, we can Trust Our Intuition.  LIGHTNING STRIKE!
It hasn't failed You yet, really, if You've paid attention.
You've always known where You're going.
Even Now, you know the Choices before You, what you Might Be, where you might still G.O.

Brothers & Sisters, there are Times & Seasons for things.  There are times to be all academic & convincing. But there are also TIMES to Speak the Truth.
Some Truths really are Self-Evident.
I know this so Deep Down Inside, I'm so hardwired to it, I'm such an Absolutionist,
that I just KNOW you know it, too.
Somewhere.
This is Inner, this is Spiritual Knowledge.
If I'm wrong, then I'm more than wrong.  I'm deceived.

But I am not deceived.
I feel Truth!
I RECOGNIZE My Shepherd's Voice.
If you hear a different Voice you hear either your own deluded Ego or we have different Shepherds.
And that may be.
But I choose the Shepherd of Life, of Responsibility, of Being Awake & Active, or being Healthy, Alive, Free, Organic, In Love, Fruitful, Passionate, Productive, Ever-Learning, Patient, Kind, Steady.
I dance to this Shepherd, know His call, am responsive to Him.  He Loves Me!

And when He Loves Me, He corrects Me.

He Loves All of Us.

So He will Correct Us.
Not to PUNISH Us.
But to CORRECT Us.
As in Correct Our Course.
To Grow Us Up.
That's Papa.

Great People do Great Things.
And W.E., in our Generation, must Save the Planet.
What could be greater?!
It is the Challenge of An Entire Generation, or several.
But W.E. must be the ones to Change the Tide.
To totally Remodel Human Society.
To Recognize the Sacred.
Bring All to Stand.  To Understand.

Brothers & Sisters, we are under the Conviction of the Holy Ghost!  To cease our destructive Ways, and first to cease destructive Thinking.

I believe if we took every Thought into captivity, if we would even for one day "Pray Without Ceasing," the Lines of Communication would Truly Re-Open and maybe THEN Humans would hear this Deafening Sound!

Not  a metaphorical Sound.  Not a spiritual Sound.  A real Sound, in physical ears, the Sound of Birds or Trees or Locusts, entwined with whatever myriad they are entwined with, in any Place or Time... have you heard even One Syllable that All Creation has said?  Creation has a Voice, I can help You hear it, I can show you what to listen for.

It speaks ceaselessly of our interconnection, our responsibility, its fragility, yet its nurturing capacity is clearly shown.  The Earth cares for us, physically cares, no matter how treated.  We are blind if we do not detect in Her care a very emotional and real care for us, as People, as well.  The Earth loves us, believes in us, calls us Daughters of Eve & Sons of Adam.  C.S. Lewis was right.  We are in Narnia.  The Animals do talk to Us.  That is what happens when a childlike Spirit wanders into a Woods.  There are Faeries & Sprites, Foreboding Experiences, Presences.  Everyone gets a little scared, for example, when they spend a Night Alone in the Woods.  There's a Reason for that, you know.  Place is haunted.

Every little Place I have gone on this Planet, since the Day that Lady Shenandoah gave me back my Childhood Eyes, has sang to me a Song which I believe may be familiar to You.
It is a Song of a Land that Loves Us Humans,
but which We have forgotten to Love,
and as a Consequence - what if We lose Her?
What if She goes away?
Not because She's angry but because She is sick.
Sick & dying.
The FACT that We would die without Her by itself means nothing.
We wouldn't want to Live Alone, even if We could.
We would shrivel into subhumanity if We only lived in boxes, in artificial environments.
Yes, the FoX will take your Mind to these Dark Places.
You must go through them.
Must face them.
Must face what our Species is doing and must stop doing.

Cancer has a Cure.  It is Reconnection.
Depression has a Cure.  It is Reconnection.
We must Touch the Earth, deeply, in a PRAYERFUL intent to HEAL.
We must Focus.
Be Undistracted.  And Naked.
Not Argue.
Believe in Self-Evident Truth, throw away the debating for sake of debating.
And Reach the Point where you can feel It.
Raise Your Vibration.
So much is said about how to achieve this.
Go Vegetarian, meditate, detoxify, unplug from Computers, Cell Phone, TV, engage in meaningful activities like Gardening, spend REAL time in Prayer...
But what it all boils down to is a Choice.
Giving up this or that is just treating the Symptoms.
We developed these Habits because we were already sick.
We ate the Wrong Fruit in the Garden.
Now We must put it back.
Put back the bits of our environment that the Natives of America warned us at the beginning not to touch, because they were Sacred...  Please put back the Land, the Mines, the Water, the Air & the Ocean and Leave Them Alone!  So they can Heal.
Live the way We were living, before you took over and refused to Learn from Us.
We could have become One Tribe,
we were Meant to become One Tribe.
You came for Freedom, and Freedom is what we had.
You did not have to take ours to gain yours.
You did not have to take the Holy Mountains & Forests.
You did not have to place us in Squalor.
There is Enough in Magic America, Magic Earth, to Share.

The sickness you've caused is a Judgment.  Not a Punishment, a Judgment.  As in having the Judgment to See that you were Wrong.

The Holy Ghost is here and He can show you where you've stepped Wrong, how to repair it, what to consider.  The same Great Spirit who spoke Here, Before.  He is here like a Tongue of Fire reproving sternly for the benefit of a Child that He Loves.

A Growl & a Prayer

What Troubles me this Night is that there is so much Love in the World, and yet the Two Halves aren't met.  We disconnect, we halten, withdraw and do not fully Trust.

Humans!  Surrender your Secrets!  Be Not Ashamed or Hide from Anything!  You have ate from the Tree, and now You are Sick.  You hide from each other's Light by using these Fig Leaves.  Shine Naked!  Unclothe!  Be known to the core.  Sense this Union of Worlds within you.  No disharmony there, never fall apart, Humans!  A house divided cannot stand.

KNOW MY MIND.

KNOW MY HEART.

Know I haven't come to try and scare you.

I'm no Monster, but I'm a FoX!

I will growl and snarl at the things in the Dark.

DISCRIMINATION is of the Dark.

Discrimination is when you treat different groups of People differently.

I growl at Discrimination.  My fur stands right up!  All People are People.  When a Person falls in Love, you Celebrate with them.  You celebrate it in any manner of Ceremony that they choose, and you respect them for it.   Because Love crosses all cultures and every form of Ceremony: it is definitely a Something Bigger than your religion.  Love will Smile, will Hope All Things, Believe All Things.  You must understand the Eros and Agape.

When you recognize Love in other People, you will allow it to Grow in Yourself.

I am Happy for Every Couple.  

I know what its like to Love, to be Loved, to be in Love, and to be Alone.

Love is Something I relate to, no matter who feels it how and for whom.  I Love Love.

And I ask for Love to Prosper, Love to Grow.  

May the gays get married and may their Love show.

May everyone know, accept, and go with the Flow.

Bring the Two Halves together.  These Loving but Scared and Unenlightened People, resisting the Free-er Expression of Love in our Society, afraid it is something Wrong.  May they see with their own Eyes the loving union of Strangers and know it for what it is.  Human Love, and for all that, Sacred.

To the Water Dragon

                                   COME UP, OUT THE SURFACE, OF THIS NOISY WORLD.
Bubble up to the Top, for Air, where it is Quiet, where you see Unbroken Waves, and hear the Calmness.   (WAVES are not just WATER.  WATER is not just WATER, either.)

S.U.N. & S.K.Y., these are the Only Realities.  You have left hubbub and concerns below.

RISE NOW, MIGHTY DRAGON!

On W.I.N.G.S. take Air, take Flight, take Sky!

SKY: Your Native Element,

where naught of the Ocean can touch you.

You are Sea Monster No More, you're a Dragon, a Spirit, take Sky!

And in the S.K.Y., Soar, reflect on Yourself, Spirit-Dragon, in relation to He Eternal, with a Purpose.

Then, Remembering Your Purpose...

DIVE DOWNWARD AGAIN into the Color(less?) World...

...and may you Haunt the Deep...

LoVe,

the FoX!

The Situation

An honest inquiry of How Free We Really Are leaves one chilled to the bone.  We are massively deceived if we are satisfied with What We Are Given, and we call it 'Freedom.'  One is increasingly less free these days, and it takes willful blindness not to see it.

It is the right of all People, everywhere, to live on their own strengths and weaknesses, to ruggedly choose to brave it and make it, without help or interference.  To live with what the Earth provides through one's own honest Labor, and to support with your Livelihood whatever Values you have chosen for yourself.  It is Your Right to Assert Your Values.  It Is Your Right to Make Your Own Life.  You are Inalienably your Own Person, and you are indeed Entitled to a Place Upon this Planet, to Prosper.   Cosmically speaking, it is Just for everyone to respect Each other, and never to deprive another Person or group of Persons from equal access to what God gave us all: shared Air, Land, Water, Food, and equilibrium with the Force of Our Planet.

In one way, it is very silly to talk about Socialism and Capitalism.  Those are terms that are still being debated.  Inevitably, talking about Socialism and Capitalism reduces our whole Organic Mess of a Situation on this Planet to a ridiculous argument between intellectuals.  There will always be two sides to this Debate, it will never Bear Fruit.  It will remain unanswered.  What matters now is not which economic camp one aligns with, but that we all align carefully with a way of doing things that secures ecological stability for our growing human population beyond a mere number of decades.

To speak frankly and honestly, the situation is dire, and to not logically address it (rather than as ideologues from either Left or Right), to not address the very real problem of the viability of our very species beyond the next Century, is Speci-al Suicide.  Has that ever been done before in Eternity?  Who can say.

We have a Right to address this Problem as the Free People of the Earth.  We have a Right to begin to make Decisions for Ourselves, in Actuality rather than in Pretext, as we face this Great Threat.  We have a Right to come together as One, without the censorship of dictatorships and media, without the constant Threat of Warfare and the Schemings of the Elite.  We have a Right to Solve the Enigmas of Our Generation without having the constant errors of our forefathers' Generations shoved down our Throats.

The FoX of Eden is a real, spiritual force, which calls on Humans at this Time to truly Awaken, and understand their Adamic position, and claim it, and use it, and outfox all this Devilly tribe.  The error of your thoughts has been to forget about the demons that exist in this World.  The Devil and His Angels are very real and very tangible beings, unleashed to wreak havoc, and havoc's what they've wreaked.  They have communicated through Human Vices throughout the Centuries, we've unleashed them, and now they've come to Control Us.  Behold!  Greed has taken over the World.  Behold!  Pride has taken over the World.  Behold!  All are Blind, they cannot See, Mankind has Fallen.

But Mankind shall Rise!  I speak Life to the Occupy, Life to the Multiply!  The Universe Refresh!  Invigorate!  Re-Strengthen!  Always we assert our Values, we demand Respect, we give Respect.  Corporations who are currently, deliberately, knowingly, menacingly, purposefully mishandling the World's final reserves of Oil: You must Cease & Desist your Treason against Mankind immediately.  Corporations who are deliberately advancing schemes, in our Sovereign Democracy, by Infiltrating Our Congress, and pursuing Ends which are manifestly harmful to the American people, all in the name of 'Profit':  You must Cease & Desist!   The People demand it!  And because the political systems are broken, your fixed votes will not assuage us.  We will demand change that no 'Election' can solve.  We will demand a transition of Power, again back to People!  And we are aware of History.  We know that the ballot is not our only option...

I call all to Stand.  To Understand.  The Time is Now, as Humans alone - not as Rich or Poor, Republican or Slave, Student or Farmer, Old Man or Young Girl  -- the Time is Now to together decide, how will we address the biggest problems:
1) We don't have Clean Water.
2) We don't have Clean Air.
3) We don't have Enough Food.
4) We are all going to Starve in 40 years.

This is the Situation.  Now is the Time.
Now is the Time.
We can't talk, we have to DO something.
I'm doing all I know how to do.  I don't know the whole steps.  I don't know how much we can actually effect.
But in all honesty and sincerity and without hidden motive I am writing to other people, to wake them up to the Severity of the Situation, and I am saying we should all take the first few steps that we know how to take.   We should get our heads together and figure it out together beyond that.
We know many things that we must do,
We have to cut our own consumption dramatically,
Learn how to be independent,
have our own infra-structure without the conveniences of "shopping" or indeed of many luxuries.
Yes, I do believe we should ACTUALLY back up these beliefs and this spirituality with LIFESTYLE Changes.
We must endeavor to support only what is Noble & Right.
We must Starve Out the Corporations or they will Starve Out Us.

Its not easy.  I still pump gas.
But together, with everyone involved,
We can get to the place where NO ONE NEEDS GAS.
We could do it this Year.
We could shift to Mass Transit, we could localize, we could food produce.
We could fill our time with less Mindlessness and Wastefulness, become Productive, Artistic, full of Energy.
By living 100% we can demonstrate to the Planet, we still 100% deserve life.
Why would Nature fuel something that was less than Robust?
Humanity must shake off Indolence,
Must put on Faith & Works,
And with a Prayerful, Peaceful Mind we must Act as One,
Be Grown-Ups,
And figure out how to survive as an Organism of Seven Billion.
Because doing it the way we are currently doing it will soon enough prove Impossible.
