"Choice. Did you
say choice, or did you opt to not say choice.
“Choices are fields of rippling meaning which
radiate from acted-upon awareness. No one can know and
not choose; that is not an option. If you know the
possibilities, then what you do is choose, and not
choosing is not a choice because it is not an option.
“Awareness removes the possibility of no choice
because, in the moment of awareness, everything becomes a
system of probabilities which you cannot ignore or
mitigate. You know, therefore you have already chosen the
field. Some think the issue is the choice of inputs or
results, but the real choice is the field of
possibilities--just like Lakoff’s windows are
more important frames than the choices between the images
in the frame. Ponder that.
“In other words, Christians see the world through
the Christian lens, which means many choices are excluded
from awareness. No, and the big choice is not Presbyterian or Seventh Day Adventist, but
the Christian choice already made.

“Theirs is a dispersal pattern--diaspora. But
contrast and compare this with a person or group that
goes toward something. Ahh, the
Hajj--from
all over the world to Mecca; focused, not dispersed. The
problem with this is that the power of focus does not
rely on the content. So the stadium of Yankee fans can be
focused on getting drubbed by
Cleveland, boo hoo. I like to

communications seem authentic. The Dow closes up. J.Lo is preggies.

“Focus is always more powerful than dispersion. And
the trick is to have the right point of focus.
That’s all that COA was
about (Coming of Age): put together a group of teens and
focus on their teenness, and something grew, more than
what each brought. And we could have gone to Secaucus
just as well as Boston. It was the focus. But Boston was
a better content.
“And institutions should always be about focus, and
know and proclaim the content of that focus. Can you
remember Papa’s old TV, which
had a knob for focus. Now much of what people get is
pre-focused. And they yearn for the forgotten art of
self-focus or group focus.
“Fundamentalism is not about the content, but about
accepting what has been pre-focused. So there is
fundamentalistic liberalism, dogmatic democracy, and
stupidhead intelligence (S.I.). He used his S.I. to make
his point, and we showed ours by agreeing. And shithead
and stupidhead are not the same. One you can tell without
thinking, but the other takes real thought to expose. I

Question from Glenda: When we get the opportunity to
come into another life, if we refuse it, do we get a
second choice?
“Opportunity? Who said opportunity. I did
not say it that way because turning it down is an act of
choice, not living and dying your way into the
opportunity. More windows will present themselves to you
as opportunities. It’s like having a window open
into a new vista, and if you find yourself then in that
landscape, it’s yours. But if you don’t, other
windows open. And sometimes, the other windows just seem
the same as the first because you aren’t astute
enough to sense the other aspects. However, if the
windows involve aspics, don’t go there.
“You could think about your favorite film. Probably
there is one scene that stands out, and in that scene,
one frame. It’s the one you live into. That’s
what I mean.
“Give up choice; go with identification.
I don’t choose the window, I identify with it. I am
ready to go there. I am prepared. Re-cognition: it
awakens what you know as your being. You sense a way you
will fit in and participate in its fulfillment... unless,
of course, you’re clueless. But then, you
wouldn’t be moving on, would you. Aha, you
say. The windows, the frames, the vistas are always
playing before you. When you have learned and remembered
sufficiently to fulfill the potential of what you are,
you finally sense them being there: 'Whoa, where
did those images come from suddenly.' Dreams can be
portals to windows.

Question from Chelsea: I have a question about
negativity. I've read that the Earth has more negative
energy than any other place one can be incarnated into,
and that it is the only incarnation where the souls don't
'remember' right off the bat. So my question is: Was
negative energy on the lesson plan to begin with or is it
a byproduct of our incarnate souls not remembering? Thank
you for your 'time.' P.S. my mom always says the universe
doesn't understand sarcasm, but I think you prove that
wrong, I love your humor!
“ ‘Dear one, bless your heart. You want
sarcasm, I’ll give you sarcasm.’ CT.
“There are many notions about the particularity of
Earth which always assert that it is unique. Well, it is
unique, just like every other physical locale of
existence. But it is no different in essential ways. What
is is, and on the plane of being which includes
Earth, all energies are tipped just slightly to the
positive. That ‘negative sum’ notion is about
as good as inherent sin--which is to say, not much.
“Now, if one were to argue there is more negative
energy on Earth, then it’s true only because
there’s also more positive energy, which is the
result of a larger scope of continuum... continuum...
continuum than elsewhere because of a greater
concentration of free will. O, am I saying that free will
of constituent entities increases the polarities of
energies? I am. On the Moon, nothing is there making any
conscious choices, so its range of spiritual energy is
very small. Hmmm.
“Now, as to the question of whether the greater but
not predominant negative energy here is part of the plan,
note I spoke of free will, not of determined plan. The
thing that is determined and planned here is free will.
It’s part of this level of entity existence. Wellll,
actually it’s part of every level. The entities go
back in their remembered–yes, immediately
remembered–identities to know the information of
every preceding free connection of greater complexity. We
remember what we learned and remembered--what we
incorporated into the essence of our entity--and
it’s that way in every movement to greater
complexity. When we are ready to take with us as
remembered what fulfills us as our entity, then we can
move on and keep it all.
“However, in the midst of every level of complexity,
it seems like we aren’t remembering. But we never
lose what has become essential to our entity (as long as
that entity coheres and is not disassembled). If what is
remembered can connect with other remembered entities in
ways that are potentially fulfilling and enhancing, then
we remember and create meaningful complexity.
“So, let’s review. We arrive at this level
remembering all that the less-complex states of our
sub-entities have gained, and at the same junction
don’t yet remember from this level of complexity.
But when we fulfill this level of complexity in ways that
can lead to more complex fulfillment, we take the
remembered as essential parts of us into the next level
of complexity. And here’s a new pearl of pith: That
which is remembered into sustainable new levels of
complexity will always have more positive attributes than
negative. Otherwise, it couldn’t connect in
sustainable, meaningful, fulfilling, enhancing ways. I
hope this is a sufficient answer. If not, leave a note
under the large maple tree at the end of Main Street in
Lee, Massachusetts on the first day after the snow melts,
ok? Sanford will get it... ARF... not wet it, get it... grrr.
Wow, I think that is sufficient for today.

“So, the quiet tide of freedom slowly breaks the
crusty habits of control and exuberantly shouts
‘Yes’ against the clamor of ‘No’, and
in doing so, echoes the very nature of existence.
That’s why we know freedom is natural. Because it,
like existence, cries ‘Yes’ to the future.
“And a tip of the old fez to my Egyptian buds. It

“She believed that one entered death to wait to be
summoned to the Great Resurrection. So she is just
patiently waiting... and waiting... and waiting. Eternal,

awaits the future in faith.
“It is a delusion which cannot be sustained because
it is counter to the way things go. Can’t just sit
and wait, there’s still more to learn and remember.
So, those who resist that future of learning need to be
reassembled. Not disassembled, but reassembled. New idea
for y’all.
“Yep, some arrive here fully fulfilled from the
prior complexity level, don’t suck energy, but also
don’t create new possibilities. So, the very good
parts of several get spiritually interchanged. They were
ready to move on into this spiritual complexity, but just
got a less than helpful pairing... combo... mix. So they
think about single linearity, and we have to tweak them.
Sandy’s good at tweaking... grrrr. So
ponder that.
“Has to be first-timers or else they’d be
sitting around forever. But once in awhile, not more than
a few gazillion in later go-arounds, seem to stop and
take on this attitude. And she’s one of
those–old, wise soul, distracted for who knows why.
So, she will get a little rearranged into several
entities, and her wisdom and remembering will spread out,
but her forgetful focus will be dissipated. Take what, in
concentration, stops growth. Keep its essential value,
but dilute the fears that stop the growth... and
loathing, and hate. ‘And dyspepsia.’ He’s
back. So ponder that until we meet again.” (2/4/2011

“Here’s more about reassembly. Now, some
entities are not first-timers but along the way they get
stuck–not learning, not remembering, still ordering
from the kids’ menu. So, it would take an infinite
number of lives and they still wouldn’t get it. And
since we are all waiting for everything to get its act
together, we need some action.
“Remember, none of the constituent parts are
energy-sucking, and all have been fulfilled and
thoroughly warranteed. They work well together, but
don’t get much done. Sort of like Congress...but I
digress.
“So, it is necessary to take apart, but not take
down, the parts. Nothing deficient--just not a great
combo. And this seems seamless to them, because whatever
the entity has remembered has accrued to every piece of
the entity. But suddenly, it’s like you’re eyes
pop open and you feel like you’ve been roused from a
deep sleep, ready to move on. Just a little maintenance
work of existence. Gotta keep the balance to the yes
side; neutral doesn’t cut it. Ok,
that’s enough.” (2/6/2011 - Y#128)
“Any good works will not allow a part to wear down

“Reassembly. I’ll give you a new idea
which you’ve heard from me before. Remember those
photographs and the idea of sorting them into different
story lines. Nothing got left out, but they were
assembled differently with different understanding and
meaning. Ok, apply, discuss.
“There is no perfect right story, but there are some
that can’t hold the narrative without bringing in
other entities, other photos. And there are those which
lead to a very limited story--or even a looping story, in
which there is no chance to learn or remember. So, you
might take the photos out of the sequence and toss them
up to see what stories emerge, or you might just toss the
pile in hopes of getting stories with meaning. The first
is disassembly and the second is reassembly.
“Scatter the photos into a mix of many: disassembly.
Toss the same ones in with a discrete set of photos from
the same person, but not in the original album:
reassembly.
“Sometimes you read old diaries and think ‘This
person did nothing with her life, went nowhere, sucked
energy badly (which is not the opposite of sucking energy
well).’ And so, about halfway you stop reading. Time
to suggest they get a life. Other times you read such a
diary, but then you come across some other information
about them that amplifies the picture and makes you
realize that the same boring dull events, in the light of
a larger context, could be compelling.
“Disassembly is about combinations in which some
subentities are not fully fulfilled or fulfilled in ways
that allow for more complex connections, and other
entities are--you see or sense--are just not going
anywhere meaningful, but are not energy deficient or
lacking in info. It’s a matter of
fulfillment–the difference between being able to go
somewhere, actually going there, and not being able to go
there without having to drag another along.
‘It’s sort of like a ladies’
restroom.’ CT, bad bad bad. He makes his point...
with his head.
“See, existence seeks fulfillment, and so any
impediment to that will generate its own solution. Just
plug that phrase in the old PtoPs. Because... and
here’s another new thought I have shared before...
if this were not true, existence would have wound down in
the fullness of being into nonbeing. I think
that’s enough for now.” (2/13/2011 - Y#130)
“So, here we are, and the same issues we started
years ago: about people thinking that definition is about
differentiation, and not about connection. Instead of
thinking about how you can stand out and make a
difference, how about where you can fit in and fulfill.
Ego crap.
“In the short term spiritual view, you think you
need to know yourself and to thyself be true. But in the
total flow of All, it matters if your piece of the larger
whole becomes ready to complete the picture. Hey, the
jigsaw puzzle piece by itself under the couch is
worthless--except as a minute glimpse of the possible
grander whole.
“The only reason to differentiate is to be able to
clearly see one’s role in the unfolding of meaning
larger than one. A single integer has value only in its
equation, but its value must be known and understood. But
to know and understand it standing alone means nothing.
So, you’re 5, so what? But 5 as
part of something has meaning. Ponder that.

“If you are not willing to be uncomfortable, then
you are not open to change, so you must think or feel you
are fulfilled at the point you are–which is the
biggest conceit of the ego. And those who try to argue
that they’ve found a release from craving more and
are comfortable as they are, are the biggest egoists.
“It takes an inflated self to think there’s no
room for growth. Self-satisfied is being
satisfied with the self that already is.
Ain’t no future in that, babe. Because if you
aren’t learning and remembering, it’s going to
be a long squat on the wayside bench. And the rest of the
potentially more complex entity might just get tired and
leave with someone else, and then where would you fit?
Nowhere. So, back to basics, as it were. If you are not
moving along, then the universe may think you have no
potential. ‘We had such high hopes for them, but
they let a little setback stop them.’
“Then there are those who spend tremendous energy
exploring infinitesimal realms–the nuances of the
trivial or the minutia of the meaningless. Ok, you get
the point: Often more involved in converting others than
living for oneself.” (5/24/2011 - Y#132)

“If Creation were a closed system, it would have
collapsed in on itself. Because any system which only
allows for the realities known and manifested is
incapable of continuity, and any system built on
potentials and possibilities which does not admit those
potentials and possibilities will consume itself, because
part of its very definition of being--which is

declares the forest sacred, inviolate, not to be touched.
So, the villagers slowly burn their valued possessions

of obedience and fear. Think entities-in-training. If all
they do is learn to obey the structures of others, they
do not enhance. And if they learn to differentiate and
stay separate, they do not enhance. But fulfilling self
without making that self dominant, ahhh.
“So, anymoo. Toss it off. A bon mot. A
tidbit of pith. Shall we toss them another treat?
‘Make them bark like seals.’ Be good, folks,
our futures depend on their learning and
remembering.” (8/7/2012 - Y#142)
“Let’s talk relatives.
Some people have really good ones, but others just suck.
So, we have... wait for it... moral relatives and immoral
relatives. So, why don’t we hear about 'immoral
relativity.' Just ask ‘em that.
“Why is the standard from which deviation is noted, morality
and not immorality. Since no one is perfect...
‘I am!’ Sure, right... then to measure on a
scale of perfection is to court disaster. It
reinforces the concept of original sin. But if we
acknowledge that this plane of existence is about growing
more whole, and therefore more moral, then why not take immorality
as the starting point, and ask about why in some
circumstances people act more morally. Why measure
failure, when relativity could just as easily measure
relative success. I rest my case. I rest my ass... and
he’s glad... brrrray. Puzzle them that.
“We are so demeaning to ourselves... not to mention
our elves. 'Hi hi hi hi hi hi.'
“Why should I act morally toward you, if you
don’t act morally toward yourself? Do unto yourself
as you would have you do unto yourself, then worry about
everyone else! Need I say more. Pith.” (3/9/2013 -

“I was just not-sitting not-here not-waiting.
Consider an existence which does not have many of the
familiar markers. Now and then, here and
there, and all body functions a matter of no
consequence. 'So, what’s left.' CT! O, I get it. CT
is left... and me and G and M and LD and MCP and and and
and 'Hi hi hi hi.' Yes, Roderick.
“What’s left is information, which
does not depend on sitting, waiting, place, or anything
like that.” (9/12/2013 - Y#144)
“Sometimes the closest is a distance away, while
being right there is distant. Because the farther
away adds context. That’s a great big bit of
pith if viewed in context. Not everything of worth
requires a paragraph, much less a tome.” (3/16/2014
- Y#145)
“For fears to subside, you need to give up illusions
of control. Pith bit for tonight.” (6/20/2014 -
Y#146)
