In the beginning there was water. This water was formless and had no structures confining it. Eventually though, as the water cooled, separate pools were formed, one flowing into the next.
The first pool was a realm for the gods - timeless and large, where any effort caused enormous change, mountains formed in a thought, and life was fulfilling and continuous. The gods - all having the same mind, interconnected and pure, decided they were at a standstill; how could 'they' learn any more if they all were one continuous mind. So they purposefully created separation - they created a pool below them where people could make choices and live as individuals, unaware their true essence is but water droplets in a pool.
In this second pool the people perceived themselves as individual beings - they had freedom of choice as their fractal-like minds searched for their true essence. Somehow they knew they were tied together as they grouped into families and helped each other survive. Some of the people though dove fully into this pool of individuality and took it to the extreme - they would do anything for that feeling of individual power and ego. They thrived on separation and would starve other people simply to feel more powerful. Wars were waged and a third pool was created.
The second pool was filled with the masses, people hoping to live in harmony but this third pool had a hold on the second pool that the gods never imagined. The rules that the lower pools create, the upper pools must abide by! The gods could be left to die by man, just as the powerful and greedy kings could limit the freedom of the masses in the second pool above them.
The third pool become rife with competition as banking was created, and economics, country borders, marketing and false news. The third group limited the second group, and in the masses' compassionate struggle for togetherness they accepted the third pool's strictures. They worked long hours making worthless pieces of paper that the third pool valued and de-valued at their own whim, keeping the second pool's citizens in constant struggle and servitude.
The second pool was fluid and open where the mind could flow freely in any direction. The third pool was structured and was so much colder than the one above. As the denizens of the third pool struggled so diligently for their powerful individuality the waters became too frigid to flow and further structures were formed - they were blocks of ice in a pool of water. The ice blocks became completely unaware the top-most pool existed, they worked terribly for war and separation and in physical form they became godless ice cubes in the fountain of life.
The ice cube peoples of the third pool made laws and religions and created tyrannical governments to control the people. These Third Pool people became so set on control that they failed to even see the masses as part of their pool. They could see only the blocks of ice with-which they competed and the drops of water became simply a tool to fight over.
Eventually as the water masses heated to a more conscious level, dead tired of being owned and bartered like resources, they began a stirring change. They weren't going to take it any longer.
Simultaneously super-heated drops of water joined the masses from the god realms of the first pool and it created commotion. These hot drops were locked away in prisons and hospitals, given various labels so they couldn't fit in or earn a living. The Third Pool people, the chunks of ice, started to recognize that the second pool was beginning to boil! They didn't know how it could do such a thing, it was as though the people suddenly had power. They were no longer just a tool for exerted power, but that they may actually have some purpose in life.
At this thought the ice blocks, who had learned to work in small groups for competition purposes, knew that the warm water would destroy them so they devised a plan. They said let's trick these watery beings into a false connection with one-another.
They began creating a fourth pool - devised entirely on their own but with the work done by the cooler water drops. These cooler drops understood the Third Pool but didn't fully let go of the Second. They could hold jobs and compete but kept caring about humanity. The rewards for working for the Third Pool were great though as it was perceived those with more money had more freedom. It was a tricky swirling pool of deceit.
The fourth pool was created as a means of advancement, but all-the-while the creators were keeping control over the water-drop peoples. In this fourth world people had the freedom to learn anything, they had the freedom to play and experiment, communicate freely with one another, but it came with a price.
The price was information. As the third pool icebergs created the fourth pool the people flocked to it, it gave them a presence of interconnectivity that they had been searching for. Their faceless gods forgotten and replaced by the ability to know it all themselves; they gained freedom of thought and an empowered sense. It was fed to the masses that this power was indicative of the success of the third pool, and more drops strived for great ice halls and frozen castles. As one drop in 10,000 made the jump to the structured lands, tens of thousands got warmer and closer to the boiling point.
So the waters of the First Pool remained as always, watching timelessly as their experimental fountain grew. The Third Pool had created a the Fourth pool, a virtual realm of freedom which the rest of the drops happily accepted as what is best.
The wifi trend grew and grew as the pools became more frozen. The people suffered immensely with no outlet as the surface of their pool had been frozen over. The iceberg powermongers made the entrance fee to the fourth pool the cataloguing of each and every drop. The people happily gave their identity, their information, their numbers and statistics and the icebergs input every last piece into the fourth world - a pool falsely believed to be the truth, however far from the First Pool it really was.
The drops called this fourth world the one of continuity but in reality they were frozen solid, given an ability to communicate in a few simple ways which let them feel fluid. They had lost their deep feelings of the gods and their ability to know actual truth; they felt comfortable with their inadvertently complicit actions, believing they were building a pool where all drops have a chance at warmth.
With the creation of this fourth internet pool we dive in head first never questioning the validity of our progress. We work with genetics and worldwide internet; we offer prosthetics and greater and greater weapons. EVERY piece of information about each of us resides in this Fourth Pool. The "elite" gods of the Third Pool will divert us to this Fourth letting us believe the truth is being given. We will live in internet pods completely immersed in the virtual reality these false gods create.
The Fourth Pool will take on a life of its own as it proceeds, unaware of the levels above it. The people will find their true water-drop nature and find out if they are warm or cold, godlike-heat or frozen solid.
In other words: the masses are one level, the elite are another. The elite have created the internet world, complete with our voices, our thoughts, are choices and actions, our fears and loves, and what holds our interest. At some point we be will forced to live in the wild or plug in to the internet realm. It may seem like a thousand years of peace, but imagine where we could be four or five generations in. Humanity will have split-off an entirely new species - a Fourth Pool.
If that made sense and you followed my lengthy exposition of metaphors ask yourself this question:
Would Homo Sapiens have just given up and said, "oh ya, you neanderthals had this place first, why don't you just kill us off instead."
If Humanity is evolving then it must be for the greater good, or the greater experience of a timeless and interconnected god. If we can glimpse a future where everyone is constantly sharing and thinking, gaining new ways to advance healing and science, metaphysics and Psychology, space travel and communication with NEBs (non-Earth Beings), then shouldn't we go fully into it and cheer for the internet-supported virtual reality?
Will we cheer on progress at the cost of our own lives?
Probably not, which is why there is so much false news and stress over money. If they weren't preoccupied who would consciously die off if they knew the truth of what's around the next ten-year corner.

The state dependant memory that is enlightenment is difficult to attain and one meanders into and out of memory-specific sub-personalities, memories, emotion-frequency-generated false memories, and chakra-specific sub-personalities all while living a physical body on Earth.
As a detailed example, imagine how our world is to someone who has changed from omnivore to vegetarian. By that I mean people who have purposefully thought-through and chosen to be vegetarian, as opposed to someone raised vegetarian, traumatically introduced to it, or otherwise.
At first the choice is researched in some way or another: trying a few dishes, talking with friends, researching websites, etc. When the choice is made there is an inner "self" that now chooses to be vegetarian but your other "selves" haven't got the memo yet. So you are living vegetarian but you go to the fair and smell corndogs and the memory kicks in that you love corndogs! Maybe even a taste memory or a specific memory or event when you had a corndog - which leads to emotions about the subject of corndogs. As the inner "vegetarian you" gains momentum it carries it's vibration to the other sub-selves that make you up. Eventually, or quickly.., your entire self takes on the idea of being vegetarian and it becomes part of your everyday habits. Alternatively, the choice was made under certain circumstances and those circumstances have changed so the idea is abandoned.
That dynamic energy newly discovered by our choice lives in us. Our memories, our entire compilation of memories, affect our actions or reactions; that idealistic self is what creates us, it creates our human physical self - newly created every instant.

The Genius of Benny Hill
In sticking with the "Musings" portion of the page: The Genius of Benny Hill.
I preface this with my apology for not looking up the character names and credits. The Benny Hill Show was, and is, an exceptional English comedy and should be seen by all at some point or another, along with a few quick pats on the head!
The Benny Hill Show was a wonderfully fun English slap-stick comedy filled with lewd and lascivious behavior. It had a core group of cast members and was a weekly show (when I watched it).
I believe the precise niche that made Benny Hill so famous was the ability to make us feel naughty while laughing - he combined sex and freedom.
A favorite scene that comes to mind is when a car load of men stop at a farmhouse so the sopful quick-stepping elderly man could stop to "use the facilities". He went behind the barn. Just after, a woman we'd previously seen, turns on the garden hose and sprays the plants across the lawn making a nice even-arc stream five, 10 to 20 feet long. The implication, although through obvious humor, was that the old man's stream of urine was 20 feet long. The deeper genius, the perfection of humor, that Benny Hill created struck deeply into our memories past.
His work let our selves re-visit the earlier stages of our development: childish "poop" and "butt" jokes when you're six, or the cacophony of emotions when entering puberty combining adventure and fear, unsuredness and boldness - those pure, raw emotions without all the memory baggage to cloud our views. His humor let us re-visit those long-murky emotions and in doing so allowed us to purely feel again, without pain. This immortal gift of freeing old painful memories is one that frees our minds. It brings us to those similarities that all humans go through. It brings us together; it allows us to feel the same jovialness and faux-shame that made us curious and playful in our younger lives.

On the terms Buddha and Enlightenment
Buddhahood, or the state of Enlightenment, is not a singular name, it is a description of a state, like referring to humans as Humanity.
The path to Enlightenment, in previous generations, has been a stepped increase of awareness levels, or "levels of Bodhisattva" in Tibetan Buddhist terminology. With each passing level the awareness increases, allowing us to see the connections we have with one another through past lives and our current recognition of "self".
The path to Buddhahood (again, in recent and past human lives) may start with a singular fleeting moment of peak experiences, leading to singular quick recognitions of enlightenment. This carries on indicating our multi-connected reality knowing that we are tied to many beings. For example, we see ties between the people we know and understand why they're in our life: the recognition of Karma.
As this continues deeper we may have issues with understanding our "self" because we can switch between our understandings of what life means and the lessons we must learn; on occasion we see events from multiple perspectives and levels of reality (Karmic ties, Astral events, psychic understanding of people's thoughts, and differing vibrations of reality). This can be exceptionally confusing if we don't have any training in spiritual awareness, meditation, Psychology, (or if drug induced without the preliminary steps). We can slip into D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder), Psychosis, mental breaks and lack the ability to differentiate our current "physical reality" from the immense interconnected reality of Karmic purposes. Simply put - we lose it, we go crazy.
As our path meanders closer to enlightenment we gain access to more past lives and the meanings of why we experience what we do. One of my specific purposes has been "Injustice". I recognize that "I" did various very unjust things in a few past lives and one of the core purposes in this life is to understand the pain of injustice and disempowerment. Once an understanding is clear the negative events in our lives are welcomed because we are undoing past Karmic horror stories and releasing them, enabling a more pure overall reality.
The first Steps of Bodhisattva allow Karmic connections to be seen and released. They also allow for small glimpses of true enlightenment - a connection to a realm many levels above (or "more subtle than") the physical nature we call reality. After the first few levels of bodhisattva the immersion into Buddhahood remains for longer periods of time. It can be felt in awareness that we are tied to 1,000 people, all their lives become the same as how we perceive the arms and legs of our own body - they are part of us. We Know them and can take steps to help make those thousand people have a more pure spiritual life. This goes on beyond Earth and its inhabitants as the levels progress.
At a certain for point, for me at least, we are "given" a name in a vision from a past life - our core self. Further on we progress to a field of light and love where we may find ourselves saying or being told "I am Buddha", "We are Buddha", or "you are Buddha." "Buddha" describes the awareness of a level of connection to Reality that lets us see everything as one entity of Reality rather than our own individuality. It is as though our body no longer encapsulates our physical body but rather that our body encompasses ALL of nature.
I mentioned our recent and past lives specifically because I believe or world is experiencing a higher vibration, a change to reality as we know it. People are being born who don't recognize reality in the same way we have for the last many thousand years. People are being born intimately connected to Buddhahood and having a harder time gaining the recognition of human individuality. It's an exceptional time for us on this planet!
How can you take action?
Recognize your own patterns of awareness. Are you frequently remembering events from your early life? Are you recognizing specific patterns or trends in reality? Meditate on these and apply the meta-ideas, or archetypes to your behaviors and actions.
For example, most of us have a 'reaction button' that certain people or situations can trigger. Meditate on this and find the core, or childhood, scenario for why you REact instead of keeping your composure.
Thanks for reading. I'm thankful I am able to offer guidance for this very small group who understand this kind of topic.
Namaste.

A Choice in Our Future
How could humanity have gotten to a place that allows this? or rather, how can we continue to allow this long tradition of royalty, banking and elitism now that we can see it plain as day and night via the world wide web.
I've recently been feeling this way about it:
Humanity has been going through an evolutionary change. One group supremely values Individuality while the other values Humanity as a diverse and valuable entity.
(In America) Conservatives tend toward the strong individual side; valuing competition for any level of goods that will allow the top vs the bottom. This need for competition comes from their sense of Individuality because in a world of single individuals there must be a winner, survival of the fittest, etc.
The more Liberal people tend to tune-in more to the general balance of nature and see humanity as a group. The survival of the group depends on working together, sharing resources and information, and having empowered individuals to advance things for the better good.
Both sides have value but extrapolating them out brings a dire change in our world.
How can an elitist maintain control of a population when that group has perfect knowledge? they can't.
But thinking ~far~ into the future, a mere two generations, we see that as more and more of our personal data is collected they have a perfect picture of everything we do and say, they know every text, every email, where our car is, etc. This is common knowledge but take that ONE step further...
One step beyond knowing something is being able to reproduce or mimic it. As they know more and more they will be able to tell what our next thoughts will be, they will know how to manipulate our desires, feed us "news" and have it all computerized and automated. As we provide this group with our voices, self portraits, eye scans, our Mom's maiden name, thinking patterns, and perception models all they need to do is one thing... give us a reason to escape.
A reason to get us to FEAR being outside and choose rather to plug into some sort of wifi living pod. At first only some will do it, then more, then you either plug-in or avoid it and live out in Nature - totally separate groups (except for the elite societal engineers). One group back to nature, the other immersed in a virtual reality, zombie-proof, wifi-connected, tube-fed reality. It seems impossible but it could literally be two generations away.
We already ask for smaller instruments to access the internet, we ask for prosthetic limbs and organs. We've made a bio-synthetic person with working organs, and he's able to "think" and answer questions. Artificial Intelligence is simply a matter of computer speed and information - our computers are already far faster than any sense we have.
So what do we do?
Pick a side I guess and really feel why your chosen future reality is better for you.

Feeling Focus Memory Model for Exceptional Creativity and Quick Problem Solving
Feeling Focus Memory Model for Exceptional Creativity and Quick Problem Solving
How do we make choices? we refer to our memories and decide what we believe will provide the best outcome.
If we could somehow make the choice without referring to memories we could in-turn make that choice without having any expectation. No past, no future.
Expectation can make a nice gift seem cheap or a great race seem slow. But expectation also can cause a great thing to be "an individual success". This is very specific wording, individual, because it is our individual memories that makes us who we are.
So our memories define us: our age, our sense of self, confidence level in societal normalcy.
If we could forget our memories - not by covering them up - but by taking in and remembering the feeling of the memory and the lesson learned. Memories could be stored by feeling rather than by details. It's a bit like cloud computing versus everything on a local drive.
To put this another way: humanity's current understanding of memory is that we store each individual memory by creation of neuronal connections.
In a next-model-human memories are based on feelings and stored as a vibration. The vibration is classified by chakra type. As we experience some interconnection with life we identify the feeling vibrations then store the memory under that vibration's accessible library. This creates a sense of deja vu but also allows a great amount of connections to similar events; this allows exceptional creativity and extremely quick, very capable problem solving skill.
