​"Knock, And He'll open the door. Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun. Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything." Rumi
The previous episodes, we were learning to know ourselves and become one with all being, and then we started to get to know God. Now this episode - we become one with God. 
I had a convergence of several ideas that spoke truth and love to me. Things I ‘gravitated’ towards as much as they seemed to gravitate towards me. All these different ideas were coming together in my mind and led me to an understanding about my (our) true nature and that we are made of mostly nothing…held together by a sense of self which we think of as our edges—and I had a theory that if I wanted to, I should be able to literally become nothing and vanish with will alone. That was my theory at any rate and that theory…I was going to test. This brought me to a very condensed period of peak intensity and many things happening at once to ensure that my experiment and proof of my theory was not just a success, but something of great value through grace, courage, love, and trust/faith.   

" The separate self dissolves in the sea of pure consciousness, infinite and immortal. Separateness arises
from identifying the Self with the body, which is made up of the elements; When this physical
identification dissolves, there can be no more separate self. This is what I want to tell you, beloved."
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad Chapter 2, 4 : 12



episode 10
​proverbial mountain climbing part two: base camp to the leap of faith

Picture
Legend of the Holy Mountain by Ivan Milev, 1926
This episode, we continue our climb up the mountain traveling from Base Camp to the edge of the Leap of Faith. 
The climb is like a treasure map that has been cut into many pieces and each piece hidden somewhere on the mountain like a treasure hunt. The very gathering of the pieces and solving of the puzzles on the treasure hunt, creates the map of the journey. It creates the treasure itself --- the Eternal You - saved, whole, and holy. 
There are 7 qualities you will need, and these same qualities will be tested and forged into a whole person capable of taking the Leap of Faith and inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven and the World to Come. 
Discernment Humility Perseverance  Integrity  Wisdom  Purity Compassion. I will go into these a bit and why they are both the fruits and the way.

Picture
Memento Mori Podcast Artwork by Jo Blakely
Halloween has always been a favorite as I love to dress up in different costumes and I am born very close to the holiday so my birthday was always a Halloween costume party as a child. Halloween costumes became a competitive sport in our family. 
This week (so early I got it to you!! spooky!) I have two Spoooky Stories about all things dark and mysterious. the first,  I think should be called The Ballad of the Dark Matter Jabberwocky, and it tries to get to the bottom of the nonsense around dark matter. The second story is one of Dark Energy and Death.  Bwahahahaha

More information to come.

episode 7: The theory of (almost) everything

Picture
The universe we see is just one side of a dipole magnetic field and the return of that flow to source (which maintains the constant universe over 'time') is by the annihilation of the self through a density of information/understanding and converting mass to energy  'inwards' to that 'other'-side') and returning in the flow. The One Self-Reflecting.

ePISODE 6:
​MAXWELL'S DEMON & dATA WARS

Picture

James Clerk Maxwell, one of the 3 greatest scientists in history had a thought experiment in order to show how the 2nd law of thermodynamics - one of the fixed constants, could be violated. He imagined that a demon separated the fast moving molecules from the slow moving ones causing one side to heat up from the motion and the other side to cool down. The requirement for this concept however was that the demon had to have full knowledge of the system and all the molecules in it in order to determine which were fast and which were slow and where they would be located at any given time. This idea was considered at the time nonetheless impossible because no one could know all the information. But big data and our lack of data privacy and laws have changed that and I have a theory that Cambridge Analytica (and others which surely will follow in their place) have 'cracked' this.
