OTHER VOICES
TOGETHER WE PONDER
WHAT COMES UPON US NEXT.
We all look toward Washington
D. C.
and wonder what this continuing drama there
will do to our lives
and lives all over the world.
Pacal Votan told us in 600AD
that substantial changes would occur
to our lives about the time
figured by studies to be
around December 21
2012.
We all have seen Votan's words
fulfilled in dramatic changes including
climate change,
but none of us ever would have
predicted the change of
having
Donald Trump
as President of the USA.
If anything confirms the prophecy of Pacal Votan this is it.
Now hang on.

MY MIND WANDERS BACK
TO PAST INFLUENCES
As I sit here and ponder the great change
barreling down upon us I for some
reason felt a need to share with you
things that have influenced me over
the years that were written by others.
I make a point not to follow anyone
and I encourage you to do the same.
I discourage people who want to follow me.
There is only one you should follow and
that is the one light that exists
within
within you.
That light will lead you in the way you are to go.
But written words have touched me
down through time and I thought
I would share some of them with you.

PACAL VOTAN
In 600 Ad Pacal Votan said this about
the great change to come on earths
civilizations around December. 21 2012.
"Pacal Votan said
Humanity would become disconnected from the laws of
the natural world and we would fall ignorant to our
sacred interdependence with nature."
"He foretold of our technological society
and the severe damage that would
result as great change came to the earth
because of our divergence from
natural law in exchange
for materialist values."
I have spoken much about Pacal Votan and
there is little more that I can
say.

BHAGWAN SHREE RAJNEESH
Here is a man who was expelled
from this country because of
his cult practices.
He died a short time later.
He was surrounded by strange people
and yet I found him to be one of
the great writers on spiritual values.
One of his amazing comments was when a
follower asked why he was so aloof.
The follower wanted to get closer to him.
Bhagwan told the follower to approach him
as you would a star, from a
distance,
Stars are beautiful from a distance but when
you get too close you will find
that the star is just mud and gas.
In his book
Tao The Three Treasures
He spoke of those who try
to find the meaning in
spiritual experiences.
"He said,
If you pass a rose bush
and start thinking about the rose
and its
meaning.
As you start thinking t
he mind jumps in
and the rose is lost.
The mind creates a wall of words,
concepts,
and before long you cannot
even see the rose any more."
"He said
Trying to find meaning with everything
is a constant obsession
and disease of the mind.
Your experiences do not need a meaning.
"Let the experience penetrate you,
and suddenly something stirs within you.
Something has arisen."
"The experience has caused a
crack in the wall of your mind
and a ray of light penetrated."
Don't worry about the meaning.
In seeking the meaning
you will miss the meaning
because
the experience is the meaning.
A deep inner embrace is the meaning.
So I would not get closer to him then his words,
but as you can see his
words were precious.

SIR WILLIAM CROOKES
The most respected and brilliant
scientist of the 19th century.
His discovery of the vacuum tube
set the stage for the X Ray.
He spent time researching life after death.
He reported he had brought
a woman by the name of
Katie King back from the dead.
People were shocked that such a
brilliant scientist would say such a thing.
He was called before the
British Parliament and they said
"Sir William,
are you saying it is possible
for a woman that has been dead
for a long time to
physically appear with you?"
William Crookes reply was,
" I did not say it was possible,
I said it happened."
I have done a lot of work on the
Hidden Meanings web site on
Sir William
Crookes.

The late Joseph Campbell
taught
mythology at
Sarah Lawrence College
for over 30 years.
He also did many television programs
on the subject with Bill Moyers.
The Bible is pure mythology and
Joseph Campbell explained it
with these words.
" Mythologhy is writings that explain
inner spirit with words".
Image words must be used because there are no text words
to explain nothingness."
"He said,
When you get older and your
life is running away,
you turn to your inner life.
But if you don't know where it is or what it is, you'll be sorry."
"When the west dropped its
understanding of myth, the stories
and their relevance to life were lost.
When that happens you lose all connection that these stories
give to your own life."
"So myths, parables, symbolic stories
are stories of our search
through the ages for truth.
We need for life to talk to us.
We need to touch the eternal.
We need to understand the mysterious to find out
who and what we are."
"People say that we are all seeking a
meaning for life.
I don't think that's what we are really seeking.
I think that what we are seeking is an experience of being alive."
"Myths are clues to the spiritual
potentialities of human life.
What we are capable of knowing and experiencing within."
In reading Joseph Campbell's words
we
can see how important mythology
is to the Bible and our inner walk with light.
