Day8
June 3, 2019
The Show Must Go On Pops rolled over in bed. Kma was next to him sound asleep. He reached over for his cell phone to check the time. It was 3:15 a.m. He was very tired and was thinking to himself, “Maybe today we just continue sleeping?” but the other side of him said, “Have you ever been disappointed with a morning meditation?” His reply was of course, “No.” and so he slipped out of bed quietly trying not to disturb Kma. It usually took him at least 30 minutes to get into his actual meditation from the time he got out of bed and began to focus. He would often go to the restroom, make a cup of coffee, get dressed for the appropriate weather, and sometimes get something to nibble on. Once in a while it was popcorn that would go along with the movies he would see during his meditation, but he usually tried to have something healthier like raw unsalted sunflower seeds. He didn’t want to have too much in his stomach as he wanted to maximize the full use of plant medicine that assisted him to better focus and feel his body and emotions. Once he got settled, he would mentally connect with the Spaceship, all the passengers, focus on his breathing, and then open the red curtain on his third eye. He enjoyed this part the most because every morning was different. After he made connections, he would offer his prayers to God, his guides, and ancestors. This morning he was reminded of a Jean Houston meditation that he and Kma did together just the previous day. It was going into the past 1,000 years and thanking ancestors for bringing them this far in life and then going 1,000 years into the future and having the decedents of the human population of 2019 coming back to thank everyone for all the roles that they played. Pops, working in the realm of the imagination, took this meditation a step further. Pops likened the imagination to the special meeting place beyond heaven and hell. To him it was the Neutral Buoyancy (NB) spot. It was the place where he wanted to go next. It would be the place that would next bring joy, not only for him and Kma, but for everyone on the Spaceship. It took him several years to get to a place where his imagination could be free and clear of all obstacles, especially fear. In everything he consciously imagined, fear was not a participant. Everything in the NB became a lesson, both the “good” and the “bad.” Everything helped to accelerate his learning. This time, Pops imagined that he and Kma came back from the year 3020. They had been given special permission by the Sun to do so. The Sun gave them a stern warning though, “When you go this 1,000 years in the past, you cannot give any details about what happens in the future. The only thing that you may do is to thank the people that you meet. It is okay to tell them that you are from 3020, but that is all that you may tell them. You may tell them that you represent all the people of Spaceship of 3020, but that is all that you may tell them. You may tell them that you and Kma are King and Queen in 3020, but don’t tell them anything more. Of course you must tell them that all the people on the Spaceship live in Love and Peace and all are thriving. Tell them Music, poetry, art and even religions, politics and economics bring great joy to all people because they learned to factor Love into everything. Tell them that the people of 3020 have created a structure for their future 6,000 years ahead of their time, but don’t tell them more than that.” Pops like this idea. He imagined coming back as King and taking the name of “Essa Moon,” and his Queen taking the name of “Violeta Dawn.” The Moon and the Dawn had a lot of fun on their visit to the past. They would thank the people for what they had done, but often the people that they met had no idea of the influence they had had for future generations. They didn’t realize that their actions helped to turn around the consciousness on the Spaceship 180 degrees. As Pops imagined the future during his meditation, he took notes with his purple pen as the new ideas flooded into his imagination. He wrote: Day 180 to Day 1 would be December 10th, 2019 to June 10th, 2019 Day 1 to Day 180 would be June 10th, 2019 to December 10th 2020 Day 180 to Day 1 would be December 10, 2020 to June 10, 2021 He drew a bracket around the above three sets of dates and wrote “Training Wheels.” Then there would be the conversion to 360 days that would look like the following. Day 360 to Day 1 would be June 10, 2021 to June 10th 2022 Day 1 to Day 360 would be June 10th 2022 to June 10th 2023 Day 360 to Day 1 would be June 10th, 2023 to June 10th 2024 And this pattern would repeat. After these notes he wrote, “Going back, put the next date at the top of the page.” Pops looked at his cell phone. It was 5:36. It was around this time that he would usually slip back into bed with Kma, while it was still dark, so that they could both wake up to the new dawn, but this morning, he didn’t. He was afraid of falling back asleep and having this wonderful dream leave him. He had meditated enough to know that what he received in meditation was almost always like dreams one has at night. They are fleeting. If he didn’t write them down, the epiphanies he received would be forgotten and taken away with the wind. It wasn’t before long that Kma also got up, got dressed and began her meditation and morning pages, writing stream of consciousness as recommended in the book, “The Artist’s Way.” Seeing that Kma settled into her meditation routine and was preoccupied, it made Pops feel better about continuing with his meditation. After the first two hours, he would typically put on headphones and listen to music as it would help him to carry the visualization in the movies that played in his imagination. As he wrote up his morning notes, he felt very excited when the idea of “going back in time” and forward in time at the same time popped into his imagination. According to the notes he took, it would take a year before the 360 day count down/up could begin, but as he wrote, the thought came to him, “Why not start this June 10th with day 1 of 360? He played the scenario out in his mind as he typed. As a school principal, he was used to doing school calendars so it was easy for him to imagine. It all worked “on paper.” “So why not go to 360 days now?” he thought, “It’s as easy of a concept to explain as the 180 days.” He realized that either way, the numbers would go in that direction, towards 180, so he didn’t have to have it all figured out at this time. He will take feedback from the Geniuses at GeniusU, the schools he worked at, and his family. Before he began typing, he noticed the red cover of Williamson’s “A Return to Love.” He was ‘inspired’ to pick it up and flip to a page. He flipped to page 182 and noticed the italicized lettering at the top of the page: “Where would you have me go? What would you have me do? What would you have me say, and to whom?” Pops flipped the page to 181 and began reading the paragraphs at the bottom of the page. Williamson writes: “A Course in Miracles says that the only real pleasure comes from doing God’s will. They crux of salvation in any area is a shift in our sense of purpose. Relationships, careers, bodies – all these areas of our lives are reborn in spirit when we dedicate them to God’s purposes, asking that they be used as instruments through which the world is healed. That shift is a miracle. As always, we consciously ask for it. “Dear God, please give my life some sense of purpose. Use me as an instrument of your peace. Use my talents and abilities to spread love. I surrender my job to you. Help me to remember that my real job is to love the world back to health. Thank you very much. Amen.” ….People ask themselves, ‘Do I want to serve God, or do I want to be happy?’ Since certain organized religions have represented the spiritual life as a life of sacrifice and austerity, it can be hard for some people to imagine that a life lived close to God is a life full of joy. A Course in Miracles says the only real pleasure comes from doing God’s will. God does not demand sacrifice. The life of sacrifice is the life we live before we find a higher sense of identity and purpose: the sacrifice of the memory of how magnificent we really are, and what an important job we came here to do. And that’s a lot to sacrifice, because when we can’t remember why we’re going somewhere, we have a hard time acting on full throttle once we get there. Love gives energy and direction. It’s spiritual fuel.” Out of that long quote, Pops especially liked the line, “Love gives energy and direction.” He had always closely monitored his energy, wondering why some days were better than others. The biggest depletions of his energy were typically from the things he ate or drank, and poor sleep, so he did his best to eat the right things, in the balanced quantities, and to get enough sleep. Although he would only have his head on his pillow typically for 4 to 5 hours per night, his three hour meditation helped him to make up for any missing sleep. And now, that Williamson was describing what it means to have Love in politics, it was enhancing his energy. It was the missing link to the Global Goals because hitherto it had been a forbidden topic with politicians. The Prime Minister of New Zealand was speaking of kindness. Lil Dicky and his friends were speaking of Love and loving the Earth, an Old Beatle and friends were speaking of Loving the Earth, Xander and so many others were speaking of loving the Earth and Pops had collected six months of data on people all around the world who want to have peace. Pops was placing his bet on the teachers. He knew that teachers never stop thinking about their students, even in the summer. The summer of 2019 would be recorded as one of the best in history. Teachers would look into the Global Goals and give their opinion. They would also think about what a return to love means. Love would give the new energy and direction. In Xander’s song, “Sick of the Lies,” he says, “Another late comer, it’s going to be a great summer.” He then goes on to say “There’s a young man in an old café, rising his coffee cup he says “I’m holding on to yesterday, until I build a better world some way” Just let your mind fall away, It doesn’t matter what the haters say Forget that man has to be this way Forget that man has to be a slave Follow your art, say what you’re saying It’s all around so why are we waiting? Come on people now we better start celebrating People all around, we better start celebrating People all around, we better start celebrating Come on everybody, we better start celebrating People all around, we better start celebrating Come on everybody, come on everybody now yo People all around, we better start celebrating If your mind is not ok then do some meditation There better be another way until we’re communicating https://www.mcxander.com/lyrics-1/2018/8/13/sick-of-the-lies Pops could feel that it was the time to start celebrating. It was the last day of Moon6, the last day of Ramadan for Muslims, and the following day would be the first of the month for Jews, Muslims, and the Master Storytellers. He knew the show must go on. It was time for him to enter the stage and start celebrating the return of love with everybody. |
