Be Still and Know

September 7, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

I connect dots like MacGyver to get our of a fix or make a take. The dots I connected were my carved fish/cross, the coming Blackstone Craft Show, running silent, running deep in the submarines, the “surface skimmers” bein tossed around my waves of thoughts, and the Silence of the Deep. Be Still and know that I am God…Be still and know that I AM….

The submarine is silent in the deep, but the sonar and can hear the waves and ships on the surface. I am not that, the submarine says. On the surface one has to say I am these waves of thought. But beneath the surface of thinking, awareness becomes deep and it can notice thinking without identifying with thought. Instead of saying I am sick…from the deep you say: There is the thought I am sick. I am not that. But that is okay…and without identifying with the thought, by being an undersea boat, you are not the thought, and denied the energy of your identification with it, the thought, like a wave on the ocean just passes by or loses its energy. The mental storm abates.

When you want to make a talk, activate the MacGyver principle. and grab what is given and put the dots together and make the talk, make the insight, make the realization that gets you our of your fix. But you can’t put the dots together when you are sick on the surface of your thoughts. Learn how to dive deep and run silent. Be Still and Know that you are the Ocean.

The Fish is the Vesica Pisces. When you put two circles together, the symbol of relationship, you create the Vesica Pisces, the intermediate zone that is Transcendent of the two circles…Ah this is the space where I’m Ok and you are OK….this is The Christ. That’s why the Fish is a symbol of the Christ, that mystical body in relationship where the One transcends the Two…This is also the symbol of the sacred marriage where two create a One that is greater than the two, yet the two are still separate. This is mystical. This transcends logic. This is a paradox. This is a leap of faith.

As long as we enter into relationship as the One Ego, we cannot have relationship. We cannot have the Vesica Pisces, we cannot have the Fish and the Christ.

We have to die, we have to let go of our Me concerns to be right and the other wrong. In the. Vesica Pisces both are right because you have transcended right and wrong. This is the silence of the deep.

You have transcended the waves of the surface mind that is me versus you, up versus down, good versus bad…which one is on top now?

We are meditating on the fish/submarine/Vesica Pisces/Christ…and the MacGyver Principle that gets you out of your fix. If we can’t make these abstract symbols, religions, popular dots connect we can’t get out of the box. What I am interested in passionately is activating your power. When you get a credit card, you have to call in to activate its power, otherwise it is just a piece of plastic. You have to be interested in activating your power. The problem is that we are conditioned to believe we have no power to create our world. We call the Ghost Busters. But they don’t restore our power because you have given your power to them.

Run Silent, Run Deep

March 25, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

Returning to my years in submarines I find the metaphor that unlocks my puzzle of life, and it all cooks down to the difference between mother and father paradigms, or the Tribe and the Pyramid. Where is the Center? In the tribe, in the submarine, it is all for one, one for all. Dive with me into this mystery.
