Hello and welcome to my first post! This blog is an adjunct to my home website at www.geocities.com/visualizenews as well as my Yahoo Groups site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualizationnews/ (you must join the group and sign in to access this site).

Everyone has a particular "thing" that they find most interesting and are particularly good at. For me, it is bringing Spiritual information down to this level and writing about it. I have been working on visualization, which is the practice of improving your ability to see with the mind's eye, and then using that ability to assist me in connecting to higher levels of consciousness and then translating the guidance they give me into exercises and practical guidance that can be used to improve your quality of life and the depth of your Spiritual life.

If you are a skeptical person or pure "non-believer," I have found that this information is still useful at a psychological level to improve one's self image and to increase empathy, compassion, understanding and to deal with trauma from childhood. Please take what is useful to you and forget the rest.

I am not here to sell an agenda or religion and I don't belong to any religious group or cult or whatever. I don't own what comes through me in any way, but I don't disown it either. It isn't an ego thing, it's about tapping into a place of satisfaction and meaning while we seem to be trapped in a world that offers a lot of cold comforts. I hope this blog will be useful to you. If you enjoy it, please check out my website (see above).

If you would like to receive a monthly newsletter, then please join groups.yahoo.com and then join my currently running Yahoo group to receive monthly email notifications when I update my material. I have some fairly bizarre homemade artwork on both sites, so check it out! Now, onto my first blog...

Everything that happens moves us towards an understanding that the world we see (physical world) is undesireable. This is guidance that gradually moves us on an introspective journey into our own consciousness. There we find a new "real world" that competes with the outer world for that title. We begin to see that the world is a mental projection, and that we are in truth entirely made up of consciousness, and that the world is also made of consciousness.

The illusion of physicality causes us to constantly react to our circumstances. The person we think we are is defined by our constant internal and external reactions to what we think, feel and see. As a result, we never actually "do" anything, we simply react. Even if we build a business empire over the course of years, it can be reduced to a reaction to the world. We don't have the free agency we want because who we are is so completely defined by what we were in the past and how the interaction of self and circumstances caused us to change. So "free will" is a bit of a misnomer.

But, we exist at a level of consciousness that I refer to as Spirit. This is not some imaginary lala land, but simply a higher frequency of consciousness. Consciousness can take any form or shape, such as images, sounds, objects, circumstances, events, feelings, thoughts and of course the mind that observes these things. Rather than being external to us, our entire reality exists in our own mind.

Because we exist with others in shared circumstances, it doesn't seem to make any sense to say that reality is internal to our own mind. But, because we are operating on many levels that we are not currently aware of, we extend higher and higher, even to the point of a place where we are all one being, which I refer to as God/Truth (because the "G" world tends to make people skittish).

This one identity should not be seen as some sort of bloated monster that scrapes off the individuality of a person and consumes their soul. Rather, it allows both perfection of personal identification as well as perfect harmony with others. Like the gears in a complex antique clock, each person does what they want, and simultaneously what they do allows every other being to do what they want.

This truth holds and is obvious at a level called Spirit. Spirit is a place of infinite time and possible personal expression. It is not subject to time and space because it is an internal level of consciousness made out of one's own creations. You can interact with others here and even fulfill desires with others in ways that seem impossible, given that the other people or person is unlikely to want to do the same thing. But, because we are all at the highest level one single being (God/Truth), the whole is designed so that everyone can have their desires fulfilled at all times and others can in fulfilling their desires incidentally fulfill all the desires of others. The whole mechanism is a huge synchronicity.

Time does not limit this situation because there is no one single timeline imposed on everyone at Spirit level. This is because time is something that comes into being only to allow us to have an experience we have created. There is no overriding timeline in Spirit because we are not subject to a spacial physical reality that would impose this on us. Rather, each person has a timeline for each experience that they have.

This state of affairs that we see in Spirit does not seem to hold true in the physical world. However, it actually does but due to the nature of our state of consciousness that holds us here we are not seeing the process that we ourselves are participating in. But this subject matter is complex and needs its own extensive discussion.

I look forward to sharing with you and I hope that this material is helpful.
