I've never quite understood the principle of the blog, as quite frankly as a free will advocate I am also a privacy advocate, and as such, publicly writing about ones life is counter-intuitive.
However I am aware that my life is extraordinary, where I've gone, what I do and what I've done, are not the sorts of things an average 21st century human does.
Why I do what I do is fairly simple, I figure that life is the only opportunity to engage the universe that one has, and therefore one should do something interesting and useful. Unfortunately there are barriers to living a productive life, mainly the other 6 billion people on the planet trying to do what ever it is they are trying to do.
This is of course all about change and resistance to it. People don't like change, but change is inevitable, and so it is fought, often tooth and nail. The unfortunate truth is that the new state (post change) will probably be better than the current state, but people would rather “The Devil they know”.
The past many people long for is an illusion, faded in memory, altered by time, so the past as you remember it probably never was.
Which is fine, all reality is relative, to a great degree. Of course convincing others that reality should be other than it is is damned near impossible, and agreeing on what it should be....that's just laughable!
As for my self I am finishing moving from Florida to West Virginia, and working on my Teaching Certificate. I have had enough of trying to change the world and getting kicked in the teeth for it.

The Coin Analogy
Human beings are made with two sides, like a coin, the physical matter which makes up our bodies and the energy which provides for our essence, our mobility, our being alive, versus being dead. The main problem with our time is that we are focused on our material selves and the material universe, and our reductionist science, and our culture of dominance do everything they can to deny the nature and abilities of our energy nature. You can call this energy nature our soul, spirit, but it is really both and neither, it is the energy pattern which represents our selves. Physical bodies, the matter which makes up our limbs, organs and such, have a very important role in our existence, but the energy patterns which germinate and develop within these bodies to create self aware beings, are equally important.
Due to the nature of the laws of physics within our universe the energy patterns which we are must have physical form in which to experience time, the reason for this is simple, energy not slowed by the physical form travels at the speed of light, and as Mr. Einstein properly surmised, things which move at the speed of light do not experience time, at least not sequentially as we do in physical form. An energy pattern moving at the speed of light experiences all it ever experiences at the same time, like a photon, to them they are in the eternal now, and as such they are unchanging; for without time, how can one grow? All religions recognize this, in some form or another, yes we exist without our bodies, but the experience is so alien from our temporally bound physical existence that it is essentially unknowable (this is also one of the reasons dreams are the way they are, but this is neither the time nor place to get into that discussion).
In order for energy patterns, which is all we are, as matter is nothing more than energy traveling at speeds below c (ask a physicist, they’ll agree), to experience time it must either become matter by slowing, losing energy and physically becoming matter, a process which is rare at best, or by forming a hybrid matter energy being such as you or I. By tying the electrons and photons to a physical form they are slowed, and being slowed they can experience time, and more importantly, change, growth, and development.
As for the coin of our existence, our existence is currently out of balance due to our over emphasis on the physical, materialism, I am not saying that this is wrong, it is a necessary step in our evolution, but it is none the less, out of balance and does not pay proper heed or respect to our energy selves, and like a coin, while most assume that there are only two options, heads or tails, in truth there is a third, balance, a coin on its edge with both sides showing, the state towards which we as beings strive, if only subconsciously. This same metaphor also applies to the other dualities existence, light and dark, good and evil, life and death, all of one or the other is an aberration, perhaps necessary, but one which must be remedied if we are to develop our true potential.
As for why we are in our current unbalanced state, focused on the physical, the reason is simple, and obvious; we are babies at the beginning of our journey, and as such we are going through phases of growth and development, and the focus on our physical selves and the physical world is a side effect of our physical, temporal, growth. I suspect even more that this developmental stage is associated with a specific development, one that will allow us to bridge the timeless and the time bound, the material and the energy based. This is the purpose of history, the purpose of life, to develop new means of existence that overcome the boundaries of our more primitive states, energy needs matter to change, and matter needs energy to live.

Many World View Zeitgeist Synchoncity in the Physical Paradigm
Time confuses people, we have all seen this because our view of time, that which we are told to believe under a Newtonian framework, is linear. Time as we know it is only linear for beings existing within a 3 spatial dimensional system, most modern humans fall into this category.
In the many worlds view all possible things occur, say you drive your car and narrowly swerve to avoid a wreck, in one timeline you did, in another you did not, in still another you never got into the car. All timelines exist in the same time coordinates, separated by quantum frequencies. Until a time coordinate I reached, the universe is in an uncondensed eigenstate, being neither one event nor another, nothing has occurred, only possibilities exist, and the number of possible events are infinite. However, if two timelines have events with no significant difference they can be seen to merge, this is a quantum form of the conservation of energy, so while there are infinite possibilities, the majority of possibilities are so improbable they do not occur on a major time line.
All of this occurs more or less underneath the conscious threshold of humans, our minds are not yet capable of comprehending multiple timelines synchronistically, so we believe we are trapped within the world we believe to be real for us, our zeitgeist or paradigm. Most people allow their paradigm to me defined by others, external sources, the collective beliefs of those around us. This is in no way true. We each have the ability to form our world into whatever we choose it to be, the best example of this would be schizophrenics, people whose world view is significantly different than the majority paradigm, what they experience is not what the rest of us see, but this in no way invalidates their world view.
The self aware mind, the perspective and ego which makes man what he is is indestructible, beyond time, and in fact resides not within the body, but within a higher dimensional plane known as the noosphere, or mindspace (aka heaven for you new people). These entities are created through the physical development of the human brain, but once self awareness has been achieved, the physical form is no longer strictly needed, although it makes interacting with the physical plane a whole lot easier.
As an example lets take the events from 1939 to 1945, the second world war, which created multiple possible time lines; In one timeline the computer, or difference engine as they were called then, becomes a reality, this opens up an entire probability tree of possible outcomes, personal computing, global computing, militaristic computing, artificial intelligence and expert systems. Had the computer not been developed all these things would not have occurred, and our world would be significantly different. Another example is the Allied development of the atomic bomb which resulted in the surrender of Japan, this saved countless lives, and quite possibly preserved Japan from utter destruction, how would the world be different had this occurred, there would have been no nuclear arms race, the cold war, had it occurred, would have had significantly different aspects, but as it did occur, we can not say for sure what those differences might be. Within the many worlds framework they did occur.
We exist within a greater framework as well, the Sun is part of the galaxy which has its own cycles of time, and the galaxies are part of the universal cycles, even grander cycles. These cycles supersede the small scale time cycles of man and earth, but more on that later.
As a person raised within a fundamentalist view of the Christian faith, these concepts appear to be threatening, questioning the very existence of the creator God. The same is said of evolution. This is untrue, nowhere in the teachings of the bible does it was how God achieves his plans, and in fact it states that the Creator, however we choose to perceive it has all tools at his disposal to form the fates of man. The great teachers hint at this throughout their works, but discovering these gems is something I believe is a personal and private quest, and I in no way advocate any one interpretation of the Creator and reality. This gives me a great deal of freedom not accessible to those who are tied to one specific view of the world, I am not at the whim of the greater cycles, the collective unconscious, as I exist within multiple worlds, and can move between worlds to reach whatever goals I deem worthy of my time and attention. This does not mean I am beyond the cycles, for within any one paradigm I must act within the accepted rules of that paradigm, my freedom is more fundamental than physical freedom, it s the freedom of the mind, freedom to experience, freedom to create.
The reason I am writing this has to do with galactic cycles, the cycles which are beyond the control of mere men as they now exist. One such cycle that which was revealed to the Central American people, as well as others, is coming to an end. This is by no means the end of the world, or the end of humanity, far from it, although some will interpret it as such. The best way I can describe it is as a revolution, a shift in world views, some world views will end, as they must, those within those zeitgeists will return to the mindspace to either start anew, or proceed up through their own development How they see this within their own perspective is entirely up to what their perspective is. Others will remain on the physical plane continuing to develop within the physical realm towards their own destinies and chosen paths. More than this I can not say, because the choice of what to believe is your choice, and I have no need or desire to influence you, this is meant only as a learning tool to open your eyes to the possibilities.
Remember always that there is no end, no time, other than that which we impose upon ourselves. Creation and destruction as merely different sides of the same idea, and in the end all there is are ideas.

Man as Metaphorical Metaphysical Metazoan
Man as Metaphorical Metaphysical Metazoan
Metaphor: A figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity.
Metaphysics: The branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.
Metazoan: A multicellular animal.
When I was 15 I was extremely lucky in my education to take a class in linguistics, the study of word formation an origin, meaning and implication. Over time I would go on to study the natural sciences, physics, maths, and in all I would use what I learned in linguistics to apply in acquiring knowledge, it was a massive advantage. Not unlike the difference between hand written notes versus typed or recorded information, a learning tool which allowed me to absorb volumes of information much faster than most.
For most of my 20’s I was a self styled information addict, and I came of age at the dawning of the information age, which pretty much damned me to become a philosopher, whether I wanted to or not. I actually wanted to be a scientists, but scientists are very close minded people, the effect of having spent too much time studying a single subject. I would get kicked out of several institutions, and ended up studying interdisciplinary science at Florida Gulf Coast University, under a Paleontologist who was taking advantage of the growing climate of interest in climate to pursue studies of palaeoenvironmental comparison. Here I developed an interest in the Burgess Shale, fossil remnants from the development of the first metazoans, big jellyfish, shrimp like arthropods, from the time in Earths history when life moved from sheets of floating algae and began to work together as organisms, animals, metazoans.
As a Christian I can’t understand why Christians view evolution as a threat to their beliefs, but Christianity is a religion that uses its persecution as a social bond, so that’s that. I was surprised when I met the sitting president of the Paleontologists Society, and she was the wife of a Episcopal priest and a solid Christian, but I was raised in a literalist church, which confused me because the bible is a translation of concepts transmitted by a deity, within a social framework. They didn’t like me in bible study.
I have nothing against religion, or organizations, but sequestration of power, political manipulation, and zealotry are some of the bad effects of organized religion. This is an organizational thing, not a religious thing. (Be glad for that, as it is the same principle that lead to brains and central nervous systems, before that it was all lymph and hormones)
That was College (Undergrad), so naturally, after Grad School I became a missionary; most “true believers” aren’t big on the book learning, so a guy who had the knowledge and skills to design build and teach people how to run fish farms they sucked me up like a Tilapia after a daphnia. To me an ecosystem is an ecosystem, 400 million years ago, or today, the principles are the same. I am a systems guy.
By this time, I had softened on my rather hard headed anti religion views gestated by my long hours at the foot of the ivory tower, and began to realize that the world is not what I was told it is, or more precisely, not what I was told to assume it was.
For three years I worked on little else but fish ecologies, education and grant writing (although I never got my cut of the grant money)
One night as a church youth group was having a bonfire, I was asked to speak, and I said something like this; “We need to remember that we are all members of the body of Christ, some are hands some are feet, some are eyes, and we are subservient to him within this body.”
I suddenly realized that the metaphor of the body of a higher being constructed of lower beings is the very literal explanation of a metazoan. And that this principle applied unilaterally throughout all situations, a matter of repeating scales and cycles, patterns and plans.
And that would open the door for my relationship with my creator being.
Now I can also explain how I was later to come to understand deeper questions about myself and the universe, quanta and dimensions, purpose meaning and all sorts of other stuff, but I won’t because all that is part of the experience, and to quote a great man with whom I share more than a few synchronicities, “Buy the ticket, take the ride.”

Is Entropy a Lie?
The most fundamental question, more fundamental than was there a creator being, or a chance collision of a planet sized object into Earth to create the moon is “Why is there anything in the first place?”
Newtonian physics and most general thought seem to indicate that everything is on a downward spiral degrading, wearing out, falling apart; entropy. If this were the case how could the universe exist in the first place.
Te answer is simple and has been known for almost the entirety of existence by the curios beings who wonder about such things, it has to do with the likelihood of nothing. Nothingness can not exist by itself, this has nothing to do with nature abhorring a vacuum or God separating the light from the dark; absolute nothingness would by definition be infinitely large (Or more precisely it would contain an infinite amount of probability) and anything infinite would have to contain, however unlikely, the probability that something might possibly exist. It is like winning the lottery, the odds are astronomical, but it does happen. And once somethingsness exists, call it energy, call it matter, call it chi or even space/time everything else is possible as well.
Because things that exist leave evidence of their existence, and things that don’t exist don’t, our universe, or even greater multiverse, is filled with things that did happen and not with things that did not.
At some point perhaps even before there was something, there was awareness, for without awareness no matter what existed, there would be no way of knowing it existed, and as we exist, and are aware of our existence, consciousness emerged. This consciousness, in Christianity the great I AM, is exactly that, the idea that existence exists in the first place. We, that is self aware humans, all contain part of this perspective, that is the part of us who identifies ourselves with a certain aspect of the universe, in most cases our bodies, and that is what makes Earth different from most other places we know about in the universe, for here, on earth, life not only exists, but it brings into existence through natural processes more life, more complexity, more beauty and more awareness.
Now some may, like I have in the past, asked why is there death and pain, loneliness and despair in the world, why can’t the world be joy and pleasure? This goes back to the very nature of the universe, without matter there is no nothingness, so without pain there is no joy. Without death we would have nothing to eat and the world would be really crowded, even more so than it already is, and that is the simple answer.
As for pain both physical and emotional, this is part of our awareness of the universe around us, not all things are good, not all things are pretty not all things are any one characteristic in particular, they are what they are and should be appreciated for what they are and possibly what they may become. This is why we do not get angry at a lion killing a gazelle, or a dolphin eating a herring; it is part of the whole process of life, and that process in and of itself is glorious.
Life has a very steep learning curve and the main lesson is about balance, equilibrium, there is no such thing as true perfection (sorry Plato) because there is no ideal, we seek improvement not perfection, we seek awareness not accumulation.
There are plenty of examples of beings which are higher up the curve than us, the great teachers, Those who dedicate their entire existence to showing others that our animal bodies are not the limit of who we are, no matter what they may tell us.
This is the very reason humans do what humans do, to learn, to grow into greater awareness, greater appreciation and greater understanding. Those who have not yet learned to achieve without conquering, or who have not learned that possession possesses the possessor, they are further down the slope, not yet capable or at least not desiring, the greater freedom and joy, and in fact painlessness of higher existence that comes from stewardship and appreciation of things for what they are, not what they are to you.

Irreducible complexity
Irreducible complexity
Reductionist science has for centuries been teaching us that everything can be broken down into simpler and simpler parts, systems, equations, it has had some success, primarily in the field of physics, up until it became obvious that the Newtonian world view did not adequately describe reality. 100 years later, the vast majority f humanity still ascribes to the Newtonian reductionist view, despite the obvious existence of proof that contradicts this set of ideas. Physics, on the other hand has gone past relativity into the field of quantum theory to explain reality in that same period of time.
In many ways this parallels the concept of gestalt theory, that something can be more than the sum of its parts, for instance I am made of atoms but not every mass of atoms of my mass can do what I do, therefore there must be a difference between what we are made of and what we have become. And within that issue lies the idea of irreducible complexity, and self sustaining irreducible complexity, which is the very principle upon which all biological life is based.
Anyone who has paid attention in science and history classes knows that contrary to the law of entropy, everything in the universe has gotten more and more complex over time. It is also easily understandable that organic chemistry, and life is a part of this universal complexity trend. Life is not highly unlikely, it is inevitable, especially where life exists!
It is sad that science has become embroiled in this debate and has taken a position in a philosophical debate, that of creation or chance, and even sadder that a branch of philosophy once dedicate to impartial fact has become not only marred by partiality, but also by falsehood.
However those of us who were and are scientific followers, are already aware that the institutions of science, like those of politics and religion, are corrupt and erroneous.
Reductionist science has for centuries been teaching us that everything can be broken down into simpler and simpler parts, systems, equations, it has had some success, primarily in the field of physics, up until it became obvious that the Newtonian world view did not adequately describe reality. 100 years later, the vast majority f humanity still ascribes to the Newtonian reductionist view, despite the obvious existence of proof that contradicts this set of ideas. Physics, on the other hand has gone past relativity into the field of quantum theory to explain reality in that same period of time.

Wanderer’s Quandary
What is a wanderer and what does it mean to be one? A wanderer is one of the estimated 65 million enlightened souls who have returned to pre enlightenment Earth for the purposes of guiding and assisting humanity through the change. This is specifically vague because of the nature of the change while it effects to some degree, all life on earth, the form in which it takes is subjectively determined by the soul going through the change. Wanderers are will go through the change as well, but having already reached a higher degree of spiritual development, the change will affect them in a lesser way.
In many ways, especially to the physically focused pre enlightened, the life of a wanderer is one of misfortune, especially in large things, these are not, generally, successful people by the worlds definition, and have lives marked by being cast aside, disregarded, ignored and overlooked. The physical life of the wanderer is rarely a pleasant one. These are beings who are sacrificial in nature, who have chosen, for whatever reason, to return to the school of Earth and act as guides and essentially babysitters for the unenlightened masses.
One common question a wanderer will ask, though rarely publicly, is “Why would I choose to go through this crap again?” It is not unlike turning into a butterfly, then ripping off your wings to return to caterpillar existence. I suspect that a lot of this has to do with our psychological make up, we are masochistic souls, or souls trapped into sacrificial behavior patterns, and due to the nature of the veil of forgetting through which we pass when transitioning from the spiritual to the physical plane (and vice versa) we forget, as souls, how crappy physical life is especially for one whose purpose it to guide other souls. As souls on the spiritual realm we forget what life is really like and look at it over optimistically and think “it’s not that bad.” Forgetting the conflict, drives and forces at work on the physical realm, we choose to go, thinking it will be better than it can possibly be. Why it can’t be better lies in our goals as wanderers, and the forces at work in the world, I will go into more detail on this aspect later.
One of my most common dreams is one of waiting with a number of other beings, being called and going on a rollercoaster type ride through history, or returning to school. This is a metaphor for the wanderer experience. It is important to acknowledge that we chose this life, even if we were high when we made the choice. We are not so much masochistic as willing to take a chance, to perhaps learn a few more small lessons, and most importantly, to help others.
It might seem like a great idea, but we have forgotten, on the higher plane, that the people who are on Earth for developmental reasons are oblivious to the reason they are there for the most part, and more importantly, do not recognize that they need help. Another common experience a wanderer may have is to be looked down upon until a time of crisis, when everyone turns to them for help and support, they don’t acknowledge the need until they fear the consequences of their ignorance, but I shouldn’t pick on the developing souls for their ignorance, as it is something we all had to go through at some point in our evolution, even if we now forget it.
Another characteristic common to the wanderer is what the physically focused call, “lack of motivation” this is probably the greatest single issue a wanderer comes into conflict about, but a wanderer understands, if only subconsciously, why this must be. It is an issue associated with Karma, and the influence we have upon others. As developed souls we have resolved many of the issues that cause a person to be driven towards a purpose within the physical realm. We have no drive because we have no purpose other than that of guide, but as guides we are just that, guides, not leaders, though it would be appealing to give into the ego and become a leader, if we are wise we do not. The reason for this is tied with the concept of development and free will, if we lead, if we claim to have answers and ask others to follow in our footsteps we aren’t actually helping them develop as individuals, in fact we are incurring karmic damage on them and ourselves. We are there to open the door, not push them through it.
Wanderers have many names or aspects recognized by different ideals and traditions, we are called frequency anchors, star gates, star children, and other things, but the role is the same, and it is tied to a very specific event, although the specifics vary by soul.
I once described my purpose to a close friend as being like a protector of baby turtles on a beach, the beings fresh out of hatching from the 3+1 universe of the current Earth to the higher frequency (4+1) existence onto the beach of the greater world. Even though the higher plane has many greater aspects, it is not without danger, especially to the uninitiated, who may still bear the marks of old world dogma and world views. Like a baby turtle there will be those who seek to benefit by consuming these newly emerged souls, like birds of prey on a beach, my job is to get as many into the water as possible, and keep the vultures at bay. This is of course a rude metaphor, but it is not without validity.
The frustrating part of being a wanderer is, aside from not giving in to ego and abusing ourselves and others for physical gain, that we must endure the winding up of history as we progress towards the event, but we must ignore these events and not get caught up in them, this play is not for our benefit, but for those who are developing as souls.
It is important that we not give into temptation, and not tie ourselves to the physical world, the ties that bind must be resolved.
I would guess that the best course of action a wanderer could take is in the name, wanderer, we should wander, explore the world as much as we are able, meet as many and share as much as we feel is appropriate. There may be 65 million of us, but that is roughly 1 in 1000 souls, and not all wanderers have awakened to their true identity. Don’t focus on the physical, disregard it as much as possible, and don’t care what others think of you, it is immaterial, and most people are children when compared to ourselves, we don’t blame children for being childish, and we shouldn’t blame the materialistic fools of this world for being greedy and shortsighted. I think the main thing we must do to maintain some form of happiness in our work is to totally disregard the standards of the world, they are ephemeral and pointless, do not allow others to define you, especially o not buy into what others say of you, they don’t know what they are talking about, and when you buy into that negative vibe, you are attaching yourself to the physical, literally bringing yourself down.
Before I wind this up I want to say something about the masochistic nature and the sacrificial nature. I have had dreams and memories of my other existences on this earth, and I also know some of the soul twins and parallel lives lived by those who are close to me in spirit, that is we share a common soul or soul ancestor, or soul family. I know my deaths have always involved head injuries, I have been a sacrifice in the temples of the Maya, I was assassinated, shot in the head on the streets of Watts by my own people, I died in a car crash which crushed my skull, and one of my selves shot himself in the head. I was also sacrificed many other times in more primitive forms, amongst my tribe and by my enemies. It makes me nervous to talk about this because it shows a little too much about what I was and am, that I was willing to give up my own life for others, or for reasons only I knew. I wonder if I like being killed in this way, or if it has something to do with my own spiritual psychological make up, it scares me because I don’t want to be the sacrifice any more and I wonder if that is being greedy, or untrue to myself, or if it is part of my own development to come to terms with realizing that my value is more than just being a sacrifice, that I have more to offer than just my life. To be absolutely honest, I don’t know the answers to these questions, I don’t think I am supposed to know them, but I do know that I am being kept alive, in some cases against my will, for the purposes of being a wanderer guide during the transition. I also know I have a brighter, awesome future existence waiting for me on the other side of the event horizon, because I have been told as much, but I don’t know if I will die in the process or simply evolve into a greater form. My Mayan birth symbols indicate all this, the wanderer, the transition, the star guide and the frequency anchor. My eventual freedom from the timeline and adventures to follow are the things which keep me going even when the world, and those closest to me condemn me for being different, and damn me for choosing a path they can not hope to comprehend. I suspect as much is true of most wanderers, we are bound to come into conflict on the physical realm, it is part of the plan and part of the story, but growth and pain are intimately linked, ask a pregnant woman.
It is generally unwise to discuss these things, and that is one of the reasons I do not provide my physical name to this document, I could care less about the ridicule it will generate amongst the children of Earth, but it also marks me out as a target by the enemies of humanity, who already know too much about me and my fellow wanderers and who have souls to gain by blocking us from our chosen tasks.
I write this to give hope and support to the bound wanderers, that they might see that our difficulties are illusions of a world we are not wholly a part of, that they might take comfort in knowing that even though it appears we are repeating a grade, returning to caterpillar form from a butterfly, or going on a ride we have already been on, we are already free, we just can’t see it bound within our current form. While we may have no idea what motivated us to return to this existence in this time, we must trust that we did so for a reason.
Peace
