In the beginning of this project where we all live now on Earth there was I believe, a co-ordinated effort to establish a beachhead for sorting out thought - feelings in the physical world. Not just to superimpose one over the other or to compete but rather to extract the best of both, combine them and turn out a hybrid human being who could think and know and feel and know simultaneously.
I feel that we are progressing very well on this project and I feel that even though we are surrounded by complicated technology, some of this technology helps us.
Granted, some of it is overwhelming and we will at some point turn away from it or it will become so automated and reliable that it will run largely by itself. However there is some technology that helps us to discover our true natures by responding to us in ways we can discern and interpret in support of our physical well being.
Some of this technology offers feedback for us to check our stress level. Some of it unites us in communications. Some of it helps us to organize and assemble structured social systems so that we are able to see our common ground clearly as a global society.
I believe that within 1 or 2 generations we will achieve the goal set out for us - to be able to think and know and feel and know simultaneously offering us checks and balances so that we will have more than one way to know what is for us and what is for others as I've stated before on these blogs.
My feeling is that this is not a pipe dream and it is not something that is overly technological. I believe that we will not require any external mechanical devices or technological devices to learn these things but our technology will be available to support us by making it available to have international networks as we have now.
This, as I'm calling it, hybrid human being will be simply generations coming up now or soon to arrive who will be born to the technology in existence and take it for granted and will also arrive with highly attuned feelings and thought capability. Don't be too surprised if you find that the feeling aspect is stronger.
I believe that this has always been the case and in the past human beings have been able to use instinct, as I have talked about extensively here on these blogs but now with our attention to thought and its functions we will be able to moderate thought without sacrificing it and we will also be able to accommodate thought into feelings.
We will feel and know and we will be able to think and know more or we will think and know and be able to check with our feelings to make sure that it is so. We are close as a society globally to being able to do this now.
I just wanted to share this with you because my feeling strongly is that we have almost arrived and this arrival will herald an improvement of life for all human beings on this planet and will help us to value all other life as we can connect more than one way.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Thinking A Different Way, Part 2
Last time I started very briefly about a new way to think. The new way to think is very simple. It involves no thought - meaning anytime you catch yourself worrying you stop because worry does not solve the problem.
Curiosity and analysis might be helpful. Other activities such as asking people for help, that can also be useful but worry very often just turns things over and over and over again and can even disrupt a solution that's already in place.
So the new way to think is to think less. Anytime you catch yourself worrying just stop and say, "Is there some way I can apply my curiosity to this that will make the situation better" and if there isn't - just don't think.
It's a discipline that, because you'll have to catch yourself and stop thinking. How can you do that at times in the simplest possible way. I'm going to give you something you can do that's physical. I've mentioned this before but as I said then and as I often say - I'll build on that in time.
One of the things you can do is to touch your body. Do something physical. Now of course you're always touching your fingers and your hands so your body really won't notice that very much but if you take your right or your left hand and you just bend your fingers like you're making a claw - okay - so that your fingernails - if you move your hand with your palm down towards your upper leg - so that your fingernails are touching your upper leg, say you're around your thigh someplace - then you simply slide your hand with your fingernails touching your leg - you slide it down towards the knee - that's all.
Because this is a gesture you rarely make on your body for any other reason it will tend to bring your bodies attention to that physical moment and that place. In short, it will bring you into the present. When you're in the present it's difficult to worry because you will then become very observant of what's going on around you at that moment and that will automatically trigger your minds curiosity - you see.
So that's what I recommend as a solution and something to try. It might just improve the quality of your life in many situations. I hope it works for you.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Thinking A Different Way, Part 1
Now, there is a new way to think about things. In order to understand how our thoughts work we need only be conscious of whether we are worrying or whether our mind is functioning in the pattern of curiosity.
The number one purpose for our mind to exist is curiosity and almost all else falls under the heading of worry. Curiosity though, is our minds primary function. We are curious how to solve a problem. We see something and we are curious about it. We see someone and we are curious about them but so much of what we do is worry.
I'd like to give you a suggestion for some homework. It's not hard and you don't even have to do it at home if you don't want to. Just take 5 minutes - it's something you can do on the bus if you're not talking to someone or having to react to someone. It's something you could do on a coffee break for instance. It's something you can do when you're out for a walk if you don't need to be too vigilant - and that's just notice what you're thinking.
You don't have to be the guard dog about it - you don't have to watch every thought but there are times when you will suddenly notice what you're thinking. Try to pay attention - am I being curious or am I worrying. Now sometimes one can do both - be curious and worry at the same time so count that as worry but try to be able to differentiate.
Generally speaking, if you're worrying you will have an uncomfortable feeling in your body but if you're curious the feeling will be more anticipation or even excitement - something like that.
That's the basic homework right there. We're not casting any blame here. We're not trying to say - this is right, this is wrong. Mostly this is about observation because there is a new way to think and I'll say more about that next time.
Goodlife.

The Road To Revelation Of Our Capacities
An awareness now begins to dawn on many people that there is an awakening going on all around us. This awakening is not something that prompts any apparent sense of disorder, meaning a feeling of disorientation or confusion but rather an awakening to our own inner capacities.
There has long been speculation that the brain is a source of infinite possibilities if only we knew how to decode its capacities. In my experience the brain responds rather than initiates. I realize that a good argument could be made that the brain initiates but my feeling is rather, from my own experience and that which I've been taught, that the brain responds to feelings. In my experience feelings are the primary means of interacting with our world. First we have a feeling and then we react with thought. This occurs, I feel, on the basis of our conditioning and teaching when we are young by parents and others but before there is this conditioning - what takes place.
I have been taught that before we, as very young children, are taught to think before we speak or to think before we act and other teachings that are intended for our own good and are meant for that - that we have something else called instinct. I believe that instinct unites us with all forms of life.
Feeling can be complicated by thought. Consider all of the types of thought, philosophy and even classifications of our own thoughts regardless of our philosophies. This is where my conclusion is born that our brain reacts to our feelings and does not initiate feelings. I grant that memory can initiate feelings - yes but my belief is that our feelings especially when we pay attention to them can get our brains analyzing what it means, in my experience.
I'd recommend, as I have done so before here - to get to know our feelings. I'm going to recommend that you try the following. Make a brief list of feelings that you believe are the most important ones in your life. It can be five, six, maybe even seven. Granted survival might be one of them, love, perhaps happiness - there may be different ones for your list. Then I recommend that you, like a good actor, practice those feelings and notice where in your body you feel what. Then after you try that see if you can begin to practice and note what it is you are feeling on the basis of your remembered physical feelings. I know I've talked about this before. I also know that others have discussed it and that is why I feel it has validity.
Let's not wait for science to reveal how to expand our brain power. They are working on it full time I assure you, in many quarters. Let's instead begin to expand our knowledge of our own feelings. If we do that there just might be a possibility that we can expand and feel into our own capacities. Let's also remember that as souls we are all united and we co-operate with each other in many ways now. Let's assume that the impossible can be done. This is what I believe.

Creation - Your Mind Is A Full Time Participant Now
It is important for you all to know now that all aspects of you can create. When you think of creating you don't always associate it with your physical body, your physical feelings, with your spiritual self (your soul), with your instinct - which is made up of your body, your feelings and your spirit - that's all - and then of course there is your mind.
The mind is not a portion of instinct and there is a reason for this. It allows you to have balance. The mind is a thought instrument meant to learn. It is here to learn and you make it a part of your being to give it a means to learn - sort of like volunteering for an extra job and yet it is in the nature of your physical body working with your feelings to know through instinct what is best for you in any given moment.
In the coming days and weeks I will speak to you much more about instinct and how to practice it so that you know the difference between instinct and thought - something that can be understood mentally but can only be understood physically when practicing and noticing and thus able to discern the difference - and you understand the difference between discerning and judging is that judging often applies standards or ethics not necessarily your own and while sometimes this is good, other times it can place a judgement in the form of a prejudice either societies or the culture you're exposed to or even your own. Whereas discernment is focused entirely on what you feel and what is your wisdom based on physical evidence.
I will say much more about these things in the days and weeks to come but today it is important to let you know that your mind is attempting to create and this is a very good thing. However your mind is the student - your physical body is made up of Earth and it is sparked by your soul which is provided by Creator. Your mind is not soulless but it is the student, that's why it is always hungering for knowledge.
Know that one of the functions of your mind has a tendency to harm you but it is very seductive in that it is not easy to know. You all know that worry does not help you but sometimes your mind confuses worry with analysis - meaning analyzing and then acting. Still you will have the opportunity to note in your physical body what is worry and what is simply analyzing and applying the best solution. The way to notice when you're worrying is that your physical body will show some signs of stress or discomfort. Then consider - have you done all you can do to apply the best solution that your mind is thinking about for a given problem. If you have done all you can do then you may be worrying which does not solve the problem therefore it is best to let the worry go.
If on the other hand you feel a warmth or a comfort in your thoughts and then, you see, then you will know that you have available to you possible solutions. Always note how it feels in your body - is it discomforting, even slightly, then perhaps there is a better solution.
Know that in this time of increased capability in creation, your mind is the student and Earth and physical reality and spirit is the teacher. If you keep that in mind - no pun intended here - then you will be able to function not only well but smoothly. We are coming into a time now that will allow much greater and much more benevolent creation.
I'm going to recommend that today you say this Benevolent Magic, "I request that my mind be completely capable and physically welcome in my physical body and that my physical body provide me with feelings to know when my thoughts are benevolent and helpful and when they are not and that this will all happen in the most benevolent way for me and result in the most benevolent outcome." That's what I recommend.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Changes, Perceptions And Feelings In This Immediate year
Now, the beginning of your year will see many changes and you will find that co-ordinating with these changes will not always be easy. However the most unusual factor will occur and that is that physically it will be easy for you to co-ordinate with these changes but the challenging aspect will be with your mind. Your mind will be trying to apply its accumulated knowledge and wisdom to the changes that you will be experiencing but even though your feelings and your physical body will feel comfortable - even more relaxed - perceptibly - your mind will struggle. Your mind will say - as it thinks, "This doesn't seem to fit. It doesn't seem to follow and it doesn't seem to make sense and yet, it feels good."
I'm letting you know that this may occur for you because it is a change brought about by timing associated with your Souls and your Guides and your Angels and Creator of course. The timing has to do with a form of completion going on to unite all of these aspects in your physical self and more. This is a good thing but your mind will be the last one to find out that it's good. So try to observe with more then your mind your physical and feeling experiences.
You'll note that I avoid using the word - emotional. This is because this word has been given in the western cultures, as well as many others, a connotation that means - not understood and therefore less valuable then the mind whereas feelings refer to something for which there is definite physical evidence. How do you feel? Take note in your physical body - you feel warm? Do you feel cold? Do you feel happy? Do you feel sad? Sometimes people don't even know if they're happy or sad but you always know if you're warm or cold.
I present this to you not because I have the assumption that you cannot understand these basic details of your life but rather because one of the most perceptive elements that you will be able to count on in the beginning of this year is your physical body and your physical feelings.
Many times for no reason at all, a feeling will sweep over your body and if you had to interpret it mentally you would almost always interpret it as either - something wonderful is happening right now or, "I have a wonderful feeling of well being" and it will leave you with a reassurance about the future. Oh there will not be any persuasive mental evidence but it will be a feeling.
Learn to trust, to know and to understand your feelings. Recognize that your feelings are the universal method of communication that can be most easily understood by all beings on Earth regardless of what language or sounds you may make to communicate. The more we know and understand about feelings the easier our lives will become and the easier it will be to communicate with our fellow beings regardless of what language they speak or think in or the way they communicate be they man or woman, child - yes or be they animal or even plant or stone. I have been taught that everything has feelings. In my experience I have found this to be true.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
