What would Jesus do in a time like this? He would support the underdog, the common people. He would fight with us against the censorship, the attack on life and the sacred union between a man and a woman. He would fight against the fear-mongering in the media. He would urge us not to blindly react to whatever awful events we’re shown. He would fight division and help us unite again as a people.
He would be totally against cancel culture. He would rally us to celebrate our commonality, not hate our neighbors because they wave a flag that you personally don’t like. This isn’t about you folks! That is the great blunder of this era; complete and utter individualism at all cost. And guess what, it’s costing us a lot. I would even argue it’s costing our beautiful America it’s soul.
Yay, mainstream is finally catching up! I hope this topic continues to be explored. It is something I have thought deeply about.
One important fact is that what any new-ager or hippy calls “your aura” is actually your electromagnetic field. And anyone who’s had their aurora photographed has a picture of their electromagnetic field at that moment. It changes subtly all the time. And I’m sorry to burst the bubble but any “colors’ that show in your field do not have any character or spiritual meaning. They only represent the variations in intensity at whatever color scheme is used. I have direct experience in this from working in signal processing. Sorry folks.
But here’s the part that does matter. Did you know that the earth has an electromagnetic field? This field is very important. Without it we would all burn alive from space radiation. The Earth’s electromagnetic field can be thought of as a force field. And this force field protects all life on this beautiful planet.
So how is an electromagnetic field created? It is born from the rotation of a magnetic substance? In the case of the earth it is created by the rotation of the outer liquid metal core that rotates as the planet rotates. And if that rotation stops? You got it, we’re all toast.
So how is the human electromagnetic field created? We too have a rotation happening inside of us. It’s not as straight forward as the circular rotation of the earth but our heart pumps our blood around our circul-atory system. And our blood contains iron and other ferrous elements! We actually have two magnetic fields, one centered on the heart and one surrounding the “poles” head and feet of our body. And guess what, it also acts as a force field for us. That’s why we start to feel yucky if we develop circulation problems. Also, anything that emits radiation waves interfere and distort our own field and have an effect on our health. Think of the myriad of health problems associated with living near an electrical transformer station.
Okay, so what about consciousness? The referenced article proposes that consciousness is the electromagnetic field created by our brains. But the brain doesn’t rotate. It oscillates. Think of the common term “brain waves”. The neurons in our brain, that we’ve heard described as “firing” are actually oscillating. Think of a since wave moving up and down. All waves contain the energy of the force that created it. And energy is information. So as our brains process the events, information, of our moment to moment existence, it is creating an electromagnetic field. Pretty neat huh? I think we could even dare to say that the more information we process, the more activity we engage in, the more protected and healthier our brains are!
There is more I could go into concerning the effects of constructive and destructive waves and the influence of crystals and magnets but this post is already long. If you have any burning questions post them in the comments and I’ll answer them.

This post is an adaptation from a post from Dar Ul Irfan Inner Peace blog from June 4, 2019, with permission. The original content of the post is along the left and mine alongside on the right. In AP English class in the late 90’s my teacher was this awesome east/west philosopher and retired rock n’ roller. A common exercise was he would write Sufi quotes on the board and we would write for 20 minutes about whatever the words inspired. When I read the original post I was inspired to do something similar, now that I have lived 20+ years! I hope you enjoy, and if Mr. Dalton you can see this from up there, thank you.
The day of celebration has arrived,You have arrived within yourself
but where is the beloved?and there is nobody there.
Everywhere there is joy and happinessThe heart cave was decorated with flowers
but has anyone seen the Beloved?but when you walked inside, hopeful
what joy then.you were alone.
how to rejoice then.I thought it would be different.
Union with the Beloved, Following the yearning in my soul
away from all there is.the forest paths converged
that day of sheer happiness.the pain felt worth it
How and where to seek the path to Beloved. Am I arrived too soon?
to the much awaited meeting Or too late?
what price to pay My ego was burned away
when will there be a resolve to this heartache by pain and loss and dissolution
to existence without separation The Beloved should be all there is left
without sorrow a soul adrift in the sea of remembering
that yearning for Beloved trusting the waters to take me home
where to acquire this sweet yearning pain. what have I forgotten?
There is never going to be a better time than right now.
Right now you have the power to make a different choice, or proceed with a different reaction action. And this choice will begin to disrupt the habitual and negative patterns in your life.
I am a smoking fiend and a professional procrastinator. I make my own smoking blends with hemp and a revolving combination of smokable herbs like mullein and lavender. Then obviously I roll my own cigarettes. This can take more time than I care to admit. And if I had a dollar for every time I decided to “Go roll one” instead of whatever task I need to do I’d be a wealthy woman. But this is not wealth or health. It is a habitual, detrimental choice that I make over and over again.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
I invite you to identify your habitual choices and see if you can mix it up and start to break free of your negative patterns.
We go backwards, we go forwards. This has all happened before and will happen again. We exist in a Mobious loop of what is and what will never be. We run through halls of mirrors with our eyes closed, only to come out exactly where we started.
Have you ever been through some tough shit and when you get on the other side of you realize that you’re pretty much in the same boat you were X amount of years ago? That’s the Mobious Loop of your existence. When you see it with all eyes open it can be quite unnerving. How do we break this cycle learning the same lesson, in different ways, over and over again? We have to find an escape velocity. A force that overcomes the current amount of force. Think of a rocket slingshotting around the moon. And the rocket must approach the moon in a certain range of speed and angle. There are three subjects in this problem: You, your speed, the body of gravity (the moon).
The strangest part of this blog post is that I have never had this train of thought before. The philosophy is literally evolving as I type. What a trip. I would love so much to have coffee with Einstein and Fenyman.
Organic and instantaneous evolution.
Back to the problem of escape velocity. Let’s assume that the gravitational object is fixed and cannot change. What are the ways we can achieve escape velocity?
Brainstorm here… But really the only sensible thing to alter in this scenario is the speed and angle of the approach. Which, in the sphere of personal growth, may mean the amount of Motivation we have. It may also imply a change of angle, which we’ll think of as Perspective. You also call it your Beliefs. Ah, I see the formula starting to come together. Do you?
Now let’s assume that the angle and speed of the approach is fixed (hello super stubborn person). We now will consider the gravitational object. The moon. What could be your moon? Love? Religion? Family? Truth and Beauty? Your health? Whatever it is, it must be something that pulls you. That drives you. That makes your world worth living in.
Putting these two scenarios together we now have a formula.
X = (Your motivation + your Perspective) * your Moon. Where X is our escape velocity of our Mobious loop.
Whew. My noggin is about tapped out. I will leave it at that for now and leave you contemplate, heckle, or explore our new equation.
Jesus was a rabble-rouser, a muck-raker, the Johnny Cash of the Jews, enlightened by the East and fueled by injustice, avarice and hypocrisy.
In this day and age of Black Lives Matter and Covid-19, Jesus wouldn’t have enough fingers to point out all the distorted pieces that have twisted and mutated over the last 200 years. No dirty laundry would be safe from Jesus waving it in the air for all to see.
The message would be that everyone has aspects of their behavior, prospectives and dogmas that need improving, like the letters written to the heads of the Churches in the Book of Revelations…”this I still have against you…”
So if you really want to be a spectacular human being and a cream of the crop Christian ask yourself, “What would Jesus say in his letter to ME?” And if you’re really brazen try to step into Jesus’s shoes and actually write the letter. Maybe you can do this exercise with a trusted group of friends or church members. Perhaps like a Christ-Mass Yankee swap. Draw names and air out dirty laundry!
I make metal jewelry. The picture above is an example. I have offered this ring on Etsy for four years. It gets ordered once in a while. But in the past three weeks I have seen a huge spike in my I am enough ring. And not just in the US. Today I am mailing one to Ireland.
Why has the phrase “I am enough” become so comforting and appealing in the last month?
I believe it has to do with being stuck with ourselves. With the continuing isolation and social distancing, the cancellation of every festival this summer and an overall decline in entertainment, we have to spend time with our Selfs more than ever.
You are enough.
You have the potential inside of you to attain every happiness. It’s a matter of playing musical chairs with your perspectives, values, the way you talk to yourself in your head, and how you internalize what others say and do.
Overall, we are far too sensitive. We take the whole world personally, and we shouldn’t. Someone who snaps at you or cuts you off in traffic giving you the finger is obviously having a bad day.
You have the power of free will and can choose to embody compassion instead of mirroring the negativity right back. And in that act you are typing the scales towards a better human experience for all of us.
Try it. And along the way I bet you’ll discover that you are enough.
There is a reality, a frequency, a perspective, a belief, and a promise waiting just underneath your subconscious. Heaven on Earth. We already live in the Garden.
But we’ve forgotten that the Creator already gave us everything we need.
This might sound fantastical, but it’s true: the return of the Christ is waiting for you, and me, all of us. The Kingdom of Heaven is already here on Earth, but we don’t allow it to become. We don’t allow Christ to come. All will only come to pass once we have prepared the way.
The Devil is in the details.
There is a great bamboozle, a giant wool woven from farmed, steroid pumped, hormone juiced lambs, dyed in Technicolor pixels being shoved in front of all of our eyes. Look here! You could have this! Look there! Wow, I could have that?! How much money do I need so I can have that?
Materialism has become a giant Hydra blocking the pure, golden love and light of God. You chop off one head and two more grow back, more advanced and fantastic than the last. There is no weapon that can kill it. The only thing you can do is turn your back on the Beast and walk away. Walk out of the cities and into the Wilderness where God’s Good Green Earth is waiting for you. Everything you need is already there. I know you can’t see it from where you are standing, but I promise you it is there.
I know, because I walked out and found it a year ago. The peace and the vibrancy and the beauty and the rythym and the natural magic is all here waiting for you.
Stop watching TV. Stop buying things to entertain and sooth yourself because your soul feels empty. Save your money so that you can walk out on Consumer Slavery. The true slavery that we are all born into. Walk out on our toxic culture and breathe the free air of the country, of eagles soaring and magnificent sunsets, fresh corn and the chirping of a hundred birds, the life-nourishing beauty of the forest. The bounty of the natural world. It’s all waiting for you. A life of blessed simplicity and goodness, costing only the unsatisfying life you’re living now.
Ask me how and I will guide you. I say to you truly, the Kingdom can only come once we have made the space in our hearts and minds and daily routines for it to come. Heaven on Earth is waiting on you.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Thank you Einstein.
The definition of madness is having a good time when any respectable person would not be. Or that’s how I experience it.
The world has become entirely too serious.
Joy killing serious.
Dream stomping serious.
Victimizingly serious.
Despairingly serious.
We keep forgetting that the Buddha is laughing. That life is innocent and beautiful, bursting with sacred silliness and good-natured irony. There is so much more potential for the human collective experience. The way we practice life is similar to taking a ball of clay and making nothing but squares, even though the clay could become absolutely anything.
We don’t value the infinite possibility of clay. Just like we don’t value the infinite possibilities of the collective human experience and social structure.
We have the power of creation. Anything we can imagine we can create. AND IT IS IN THIS WAY THAT WE WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF OUR MAKER.
And we just don’t get it. Over and over we choose to create a life of self-slavery. I just don’t understand. I don’t understand why we wake up every morning and CHOOSE to keep participating in a world that kills our spirit. There are literally an uncountable number of different decisions we could make every moment. But yet we choose to continue to make the same lame decisions. Continue to accept the unimaginative, subjugating collective narrative.
WAKE UP! You can be anything, you can do anything, you have control of your reality! WAKE UP! Make daring, life expanding decisions. Look death and disease and corruption and discrimination and totalitarianism in the face and laugh. THEY HAVE NO POWER OVER YOU WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
Do you remember the moment in Labyrinth? The Goblin King in his matter warping kingdom (thank you David Bowie!) seemingly has one the day and there is no way out. He says, “I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. Just fear me, love me. Do as I say and I will be your slave.” And in that moment Sarah realizes the true nature of reality and says, “You have no power over me.” And with that one statement, with that one realization, that one recognition of her sovereign God-given Soul, the Goblin Kings entire kingdom dissolves utterly for her. For she has seen the truth. No one can rule you without your permission. Without your acquiescence, WITHOUT YOUR FEAR.
The media is the fear factory manufacturing your consent, showings all the darkness over and over and over again. It is an old game invented by lost dictators. That we still play it is utterly absurd. STOP WATCHING, STOP BELIEVING. TUNE OUT THE GOBLIN KING, SEE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN, TURN OFF YOUR TV, DON’T READ THE HEADLINES. STOP PARTICIPATING AND RENDER THEM POWERLESS. ONLY THEN CAN HUMANITY CREATE A NEW STORY AND REALITY.
Do your part. STOP participating in fear culture. Follow your own instincts and gut feelings and dreams and hopes. There is nothing but mirages in your way. The path is clear, and only painted with a scary optical illusion to keep you from daring to follow your own path. It doesn’t matter where you go, it matters who you are along the way.
GOD WANTED SO MUCH MORE FOR US THAN THIS. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE OUR FATHER PROUD? WHY CAN’T WE BELIEVE IN OURSELVES THE WAY HE BELIEVES IN US?
BECOME MORE. BECOME FREE. BECOME DIVINE.
I pray for all of us to be able to create a new way together, to imagine and embrace and pursue a new reality for humanity.
It is only when you’ve seen the deepest, most despairing darkness that you can begin to imagine the light.
