Mayan Consciousness

There is no doubt that there is a human collective consciousness. The energy of the past is swirling about us in the present. Can you see it? Can you feel it? It exists on the sub-atomic level—the invisible matrix that creates the material world. It is transcendental knowledge.

The wisdom, mystery, and history of the ages are available to anyone willing to receive.

The late Bruce Lee deserves much credit for standing by his vision. He questioned dogma, invented himself, and created a new way of seeing martial arts.

In the 1973 film, Enter the Dragon, Lee instructs a young student on how to improve his skill: “Feel, don’t think.” Lee also tells his student about the Buddhist allegory about truth called: fingers pointing at the moon. If you watch the fingers, you can’t see the moon.

Four years later, in the George Lucas film, Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi gives Luke Skywalker the same advice. “Trust your feelings.”

What they are both saying is that you can’t go wrong if you listen to your intuition.

Feel, don’t think is also the source of great art.

Rocket Man

in memoriam: The Challenger Shuttle crew set their sites high and lived a life worth living.

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time…

The year 2002 is ready to leave. This numerical sequence won’t happen again for a thousand years. What will the world be in 3003? While the future is intoxicating, awareness of the present moment is the key to understanding both the past and what is to come.  The answer is found in things transcendental, things mysterious and as yet unexplained, things beyond thought, ideas, and concepts—a nursery where creation has its place.

“I do not propose to write an ode to dejection,
but to brag as lustily
as chanticleer in the morning,
standing on his roost,
if only to wake my neighbors up.”

—from the cover of Henry Thoreau’s book, Walden

“Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing which will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving towards the summit of fulfillment.”

—John O?Donohue,
