What is recurrence?

do we go round and round?

What is Recurrence?     Music is singular frequencies put together, that is, juxtaposed so as to create rhythm and melody and which we appreciate as a continuous on-going whole in a song or instrumental. This is natural as instruments themselves are formed as representations of the human body. For instance, a spoon is a replication of the hand which makes dipping water easier. A fork replicates the fingers making eating less messy. Musical instruments are representatives of the vocal cords while the rhythm of beating drums perhaps originated in a native beating its chest. Music is based in time but it is created by individual notes tied together. Isn’t this how people view time and their lives?     Life, moment to moment like music, is considered somewhat as a time-line from birth to who-knows-what, heaven, hell or perhaps purgatory, and to some that’s it, kapoof! Everyone knows that somewhere between 60 and 100 years is all we get, yet almost everyone appears to be asleep to this. After all, what else can you do but live the hand you’ve been dealt. So if anyone ever wakes up to the truth of their existence they will rationalize it away and go back to sleep, beat their chest and say “I’ll pay the piper when I’m called but right now I want another portion please?!” For most people the rhythm of life overcomes the melody, there is no composer, and almost all instruments gather dust until the curtain drops.    Recurrence is a thought experiment. It’s a device used to bring you to the always present point of now. The idea is that when you die you don’t go to heaven or hell. What happens is that you are reborn exactly as you were born, exactly with the same parents, exactly in the same time and place. You re-enter time exactly where you entered it before. This happens many, many times until you begin to ponder, cognate, and actually feel the extant now. At this point a subtle change may overcome you. You may see yourself somewhat like Charley Chaplin directing a black and white movie of Charley Chaplin directing a movie. And it’s not funny. Or, you may understand that at any moment you are at a point of choice. At each instance, right now, you are choosing and creating your life. We hope you choose to discover all your instruments, dust them off, learn to use them and so play beautiful music.    We’re here to help. This is Wisdomgame.

Searching for Work You Love to Do

Vince McStone Trailmaster

Recently I spent a lot of time searching my psyche for the answer to the question, “What is it that I really love to do?” I went through a lot of histrionics and even jumped up and down several times pounding myself over the head for not having more money and not being so financially secure that I could quit doing anything and ponder my belly button. Finally, after I’d focused on the problem for some time and written about two thousand pages, I sent it all to my publisher. A couple of weeks later I got a note back saying “We enjoyed your diatribe, but unfortunately due to the economic condition of book readers at this time, we’re sorry but we have to pass.”

Well, the hell with you guys! Anyway, I don’t enjoy writing books. That’s a lot of work, it takes so much time and it doesn’t pay. So . . . What do you love to do?

Good question. I kept at it. Maybe my parents and siblings were the cause of it all. Maybe they told me I couldn’t be anything or do what I loved or some other pap and that stuck in my subconscious mind and that’s why I’m never happy. However, the funny thing is I am happy. I just need a lot more money and I want to do what I love doing.

Then what do I love to do?

Good question. Finally, it occurred to me that getting there is the state of being there and I thought back to some wonderful times I had with my friend, the trailmaster, Vince McStone. (Vince is his real name. McStone is his alias?)

We hiked the wilderness and whatever trail we went on we’d never been on it before. We didn’t know the way and we didn’t know the destination but we sure loved it. We had a lot of fun in the unknown. That was the answer I needed. When you’re on a new trail you love what you’re doing. You don’t say when you begin the hike, “I’m only going on a trail I know I love.” If that were the case, you’d never hike new trials.

So my search: “What do I love doing.” simply turned into “I love doing.” And that ended that. Thank you, Vince McStone.

Are We Dreaming?

Whose dream is this anyway?

ARE WE DREAMING?

A man was dreaming and a beautiful butterfly appeared which radiated a golden translucence as it flew around the man’s bedroom and then settled down on the edge of the bed. The man woke.
“How coincidental,” he said. “I was dreaming of a vibrant creature like you and now you have appeared. . . Marvelous. Truly marvelous!”
Startled, the butterfly fluttered to the air. “This is astounding,” replied the butterfly. “A man in my dreams is talking to me.”

If we look back three or four hundred years, we can be fairly sure people were dreaming then. The work of Freud and Jung had not yet appeared and the science of Newton and Galileo was just becoming extant. What must people have thought of dreams in that time, or in much earlier times, or in Native cultures?

The first block to understanding your own dreams is the ability to remember them. There seems to be a particularly deep chasm between the waking state in the morning and the night sleep state. Metaphorically, waking is like falling into this chasm and having our memories wiped clean. Jumping over this chasm is important because if a person can’t remember their dreams then they won’t be concerned whether or not dreams are a separate reality in which they carry on.

Maybe they won’t be concerned even if they are able to remember what they dream, but the Toltec’s say they should be. The Toltec’s say that we are dreaming this reality here and now. That is, our day to day reality is a construct in which we have been indoctrinated, conditioned, and programmed from our parents, their parents, and our mileu.

Until we realize that we are making up the story of our lives and that story is a continuation of family/society stories that came before, then actually we are asleep.

By realizing that everyone, including ourselves, are dreaming we can wake up.

This is like waking up in a dream at night. You’ve been watching some phantasmagoria when all of a sudden you’re not just watching, you’re lucidly living it — you’re feeling it — it’s real. And so, to extend that to your day to day life, if you wake up here and now, everything gets brighter, everything’s in motion, and you feel alive. You feel alive!

Thanks for reading, grasshopper. . . I mean butterfly.

How can we change?

Your last judgment. Want to change.?

WHY IS CHANGE SO
DIFFICULT?

When you see your life isn’t working too  well and you want to change, why is that so hard? Why is it that we can’t just pick up and go to a new world of our liking?

Here’s what change is like for most people:

The reason why most people can’t change themselves is that as they grow up they are shaped like a clay pot by Mom and Dad and siblings and then fired in the kiln of rejection or acceptance of their peers. And I mean you and me not an intellectualized abstract human who is part of a mass or herd. We all have a subconscious mind that says “Go ahead!” or “Oh no. You can’t change. You can’t do that.”. . . and we keep sleeping thinking we
have consciously made those decisions.

But I’m not really talking about being successful here. What I’m talking about is realizing we’re sleeping in a dream, and finding a way to wake up. And here’s the difficult part. If someone told
you what waking up really was, and showed you a way to wake up . . . when you woke up . . . then actually, you’d still be dreaming.

As close as I can tell you what waking up is, is the discovery that everything is always new. How can we know this? Otherwise, if you think everything is old then life really is a drag. It’s SOS (same old shit) every day after day after boring day. And that really sucks. To wake up a person must momentarily stop living the dream that everything is an exact continuation of yesterday . . . And notice, perhaps, that the sunset is different, the air is fresher, trees have new leaves . . . That things have changed and then understand that change is going on constantly.

Grasping is one of the first motions a baby does. Gathering and holding seems natural to being human. And it seems being
human is also involved in holding on to the past, blaming, not being able to forgive and not being able to move on to a better life. That’s not good.

The guru’s say it is ‘Attachment.’ But if they tell you to be detached, don’t listen. Don’t let anyone tell you anything.
Even me. All I’m saying is it seems like everyone is stuck in a dream, and if you want to discover a different reality you have to . . . well, you don’t ‘have to do anything.’

. . . keep sleeping, it’s your life.

There are techniques to wake up. Here’s one: The next time you’re out and come home, instead of opening the door sneak
around your house until you find an open window, and climb in the window. The change will do you good. Try it, you’ll see. Here’s some more advice: Make sure the authorities don’t see you, especially the Thought Police. “You can only use the door,” They’ll tell you, handcuff you and take you down to the railroad
station to be shipped off to retraining where you’ll learn how to use their ‘key.’

The one Mom and Dad and your brothers and sisters gave you when you were young.

Relax, deeper now, that’s right. At this level of mind you will always do as you’re told. You have the key to a normal life, you will never be dissatisfied again . . . correct?

You may open the window (of your mind) to open the door of your life.

Like the Last Line of a Beautiful Poem

Do Guru's create the dreams of Guru's?

 

  

The Fifth Agreement

Don Miguel and Don Jose Ruiz

 

For many years I was a performing poet in Santa Barbara. My mentor, Walt Hopmans, once took me aside and commented that my poems were really excellent except for the last line. When you write a poem there is often the tendency to add an extra tidbit. . . and this destroys the lingering forcefulness of the poem. For instance:

 

               Blah blah blah

              She lowered her eyes with a tear.

               Then you add,

              “That proves she loves me.”

 

   That’s how I feel about Miguel and Jose Ruiz’s  “The Fifth Agreement.”

 

   Miguel Ruiz’s previous book, “The Forth Agreement” and the companion mastery books are like a beautiful poem. They all seem to fit with astounding simplicity and grace. Then here comes the Fifth Agreement like added line of a poem.

   Now here’s the paradox. The gist of the Fifth Agreement is that we can get rid of the parasite of our mind when we stop judging . . . particularly when we stop judging ourselves. An interesting point the authors expound is the last card of the Tarot deck is the resurrection card. This is often called “The Last Judgment.”  They point out that  when you stop judging people and stop judging yourself this will be your last judgment. Then you will be reborn. Get it: Your Last Judgment.

 

    So what’s the paradox? How can you write a critical review and not judge, at least a little bit. Okay, I will:

 

    I loved this book. Buy it and read it for your own good, forget about me

LOOK AT THAT!

With my head in the clouds

I thought I could see, but I was only dreaming.

. . .  but what a dream!

The Law of Attraction

I got into an unusual discussion today. I was sitting in the sun, doing my flash cards at Borders patio. A very irritating person was shouting swear words into their cell phone, so I moved away to the center of the court where I could sit and do my cards.

A man rode up on a bike with a sleeping bag tied to his bike. He got off with his jacket and his sleeping bag and sat down across from me on an opposite bench. We said a few words of greetings and he asked me what I was doing with my flash cards. I told him I was programming my subconscious mind to further my goals, that I had my goals written on the cards. I said that words were very powerful and also besides my goals I had words such as “Freedom” and “Empowerment” and “Wonderment.”

We went on to deeper levels in the discussion and began to delve into the possibility of attracting your goals to you. He said he believed you had to do something. That is, he stressed you had to do something. That  is, you couldn’t just attract them and they would come. You had to do something. He pointed to his sleeping bag next to him on the bench.

“For instance,” he said, “If I wanted that sleeping bag on the ground I would have to pick it up and put it on the ground. All my attracting in the world is not going to get it off the bench to the ground.”

Well, I made the point that time as we see it is relative and that we create a liner time scope, that the moment is only extant, and that if he left that sleeping bag on the bench in some time it would be gone. He didn’t buy that. He wanted it on the ground by his willing. Anything else, be it a Universal Law of Attraction, or not . . . unless that bag somehow got on the ground without him touching it, he wasn’t going to believe that any Law could get him what he wanted.

I took a stretch and walked over to where he sat on the bench next to his sleeping bag.

“Well, “I said, “You really can’t explain metaphysics with physical principles. You can’t explain quantum mechanics with Newton’s laws.”

Casually, I walked up next to him and the sleeping bag. “It’s funny . . .” I interrupted myself and pointed to his side.

“Look at that!” I cried.

He turned abruptly and stared in that direction. As he focused on what he thought had astounded me, I took his sleeping off the bench and with stealth set it on the ground and jumped back to the other bench and sat down.

He looked at the missing sleeping bag on the bench and then at it on the ground and back at me. His eyes got wide.

“You did that!”

“That’s right,” I said, “I did. That’s the point. Your sleeping bag is on the ground, but you didn’t do anything. You believe you have to do something to get the things you want, so you have to do something to get the things you want.  However, the Law of Attraction is about allowing what you want to happen.

Don Miguel Ruiz: Dream Guide

The Voice of Knowledge

The Universe is filled with light but all we really ever possibly can see is reflected images. This is the dream. We are the dreamer. Who is the most important character in your dream? . . . You are! And who is the most important character in everyone else’s dream? . . . They are! We are all dreamers, dreaming the stories of our lives, creating the future that we move into and acting and interacting with other dreamers dreaming the story of our town, our city, our nation and our Earth.

The voice is your head is the voice of your father and mother, sister, brother and teachers that domesticated you to behave in a “correct” and “orderly” fashion. Here’s some nice words that you can tell this judge when you (he) starts to criticize and bring you down.

 

BIG DEAL.

 

SO WHAT?

 

WHO CARES?

 

WHY NOT?

 

Don Miguel Ruiz:

“I discovered that more than %90 of  the concepts I had stored in my mind were based on lies; especially the concepts I believed about myself.” . . .

“You don’t need to make others wrong because you know in their story they are right. In your story, you are right. Then being wrong or right is over, you no longer have to defend what you believe. “

THE SECRET OF SEX

 

 

 

 

 

SEX! SEX! SEX!

   In this blog I am going to expose myself, that is I mean to say I’m going to tell you  THE SECRET OF SEX. Now, this is not going to be like a lot of off beat “metaphysical” unoriginal claptrap from earlier times which proposes to uncover and explain arcane methods or laws of attraction so you can visualize, emotionalize, and cannibalize some poor unsuspecting innocent of the opposite sex. Not at all. In this blog I am going to show you, no matter how old you are. . . err, wait a minute, you have to be 18 to read this:

 

           No one allowed to read the follow if under 18!

                (By reading you guarantee you are 18)

 

THE SECRET OF SEX: When two people of similar mind go at it like some HOT, RABID, MAD dogs at the full moon with testosterone hormone driven froth-in-the mouth lust filled eyes that drip languid tears with no remorse . . .  there is humping and pumping, grunts and screams and like the giant in Moby Dick “The Sperm Whale rise up all fantail and she squirts!” so that at that moment, at the center of the Cosmic eye of the Universe all Hell breaks loose and Angles and Demons alike either look bug-eyed or turn their faces away and blush red while some of them probably even peek a little and involuntarily their hands go you know where, but you’d better not tell anyone . . . because that is a secret!

        THE SECRET: At that very moment if both of you hold in your mind’s eye what you want to achieve, get paid, produce, manifest, attract, repel, infect, get, have, equal, whatever . . . and if it’s a love child, even better . . . YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT.  And I mean BIG TIME!

But that’s not easy to do,  because your mind is between your legs. It’s hot there. Very very hot. Too too hot!  . . .  and you want release from all the mundane BS you went through just to end up like this wanting more, and baby you have got to have it, not later.  Right Now! . . .

Then . . . Oh Boy! Here it  comes and Whoopee! Want more! I want to do it some more! I want more!  . . . Where was I? Oh, yeah. Hold whatever you want in your mind’s eye at the moment of coming and it does come. The secret exposed. 

 We are all made from SEX! THAT’S THE SECRET.

The Art of Fascination

Light at the beginning

The art of fascination is a fantastic and wonderful art. It is something you learn to do, and when you eventually master it you will have changed carbon to diamond. Through this firing process your rough elements will shine and glisten. This diamond shines so fine and so bright that those who view it may be hypnotized. So with your new abilities comes the prerequisite of responsibility. You must approach each new situation from a positive standpoint. To attempt to ‘get over’ the other person so as to ‘have your way’ will be the signal which will immediately denude you of all your powers. Not unlike the toll of the midnight bell in your beloved story of Cinderella, the spell will be broken. Any attempt to force anyone to do your bidding will automatically strip you of your powers. You will discover in the following lessons that the power to fascinate comes from the genuine desire to light a fire in another person, to both be their shinning light and to let them shine. You can’t do this if you have ulterior motives.

KARMA

Karma is a Sanskrit word which means comeback.

Sooner or later, your words and deeds return to you.

Life is your teacher and what you learn in your relationships are your lessons. Learn to take experiences in life as teaching lessons. This is Karma. 

As an expert in fascination, if you violate the trust of another your karma will be instant. The degree to which you use your magic powers for personal gain is equated to the degree of failure which will eventually develop. The true artists of fascination are those who cast a note tuned to the person. This melody entertains both parties.There is an old saying that goes something like this, “If you can’t blind them with brilliance, then baffle them with bologna.”

 Meaning, of course, it is easily possible to confuse another person with verbalization when you couldn’t succeed with innuendo, association, gesture and the unique art of fascination.

You can say you are the king of the hill, drive a two hundred and forty thousand horse power so and so, and your bank book is so big you can’t carry it around. However, you won’t get very far with that approach. In this lesson plan,

The Art of Fascination©,

We are not dealing with baffling. All thoughts of insincerity must be dropped right now. You see, this is a fantastic art. It takes time and effort to learn it, and when you become an artist you are very powerful.

This course is a way of manipulating the world to supply you with what you need. It makes your life more interesting and more exciting, and you do the same for the person you are fascinating!

The object of this course is to make your world more interesting, more exciting, and to spread that fascination to those around you. The art of fascinating is a very deep art, and the more you learn, the deeper it gets.As you develop this art, which is your ability to fascinate, you will see the person or the people you are dealing with are like a window with its curtains almost drawn. The more fascinated they become, the more the curtain opens. You see more. As they become fascinated, you are able to see into and through them to vistas quite unimaginable. You laugh, you cry, you jump for joy as they do. As you fascinate them, they fascinate you. Your life and their lives become more and more fascinating.

SEX

Every human owes their existence to the act of sexual intercourse.Some of you may be using these lessons to learn to fascinate the opposite sex. This is good. This works. But you can also use these lessons in a general way. Once you learn and practice the lessons so they become second nature you will fascinate your banker, your plumber, your pool cleaner, your waitress, the TV producer, wife or husband, or mom and pop. Doesn’t matter who it is, the rules apply to everyone.Life is a series of relationships. Now, if you were alone on the moon you could use these exercises to fascinate yourself. But you’re not on the moon, you live in a vital vibrating world of people and you need to know how to move through doors without resistance. You need to be able to get what you want. If you use this manual to learn how to fascinate the opposite sex, I applaud you. I admire and congratulate you. What you have to remember is that the way we view the opposite sex is somewhat like a hall of mirrors.In a theme park they sometimes have a fun house called the hall of mirrors. There is a maze with mirrors that block your passage so that as you move you bump into clear glass and mirrors as you try to make your way. That is, you bump into a reflection of yourself. Using your personal concept of what will fascinate the opposite sex is somewhat similar to being in a hall of mirrors. For instance, men generally have the idea that women are emotional, that is, more emotional than are men. In truth, women project this image while they may be stone cold serious. Men project a serious side, while in fact, inside they may be in great turmoil.

The Mysterious Metaphor: “What’s it like?”

 

pine bough represents life

 

Being Born

We are all born from the sex act in which over 200,000 sperm cells swim furiously to fertilize one or more eggs and only one of those sperm cells is successful. Just because we are alive, because we were born, we’re special. We’re champions!

 But the mystery of life is much deeper than that.What’s so Mysterious?

Communication is one of the most mysterious aspects of living. Here we have a concept in our minds — let’s say you want to speak to a friend about your new toy — and you compress air, open your mouth and make vibrations. Somehow your friend receives the vibration in their ears, the nerves relay the energy to the brain, and a picture/thought is created that represents your toy. This is very mysterious, isn’t it?

Agree? No? How about changing the word above from ‘toy’ to ‘wisdom.’ (Click here.)Wisdom is usable knowledge gained through experience, but how do you communicate that experience to another person. The concept they form in their mind may be entirely different than the one you are expressing.

 You can use ‘Metaphor.’The Mysterious Metaphor

‘Metaphor’ is a Latin word. The definition that makes the most sense to us here at Wisdomgame is that ‘Meta’ means beyond — as in Metaphysics (beyond physics) and ‘phor’ means talking or sound. So ‘metaphor’ would mean beyond talking. A metaphor is a representation, or a likeness.

For instance, your husband has a nose like a banana, or your wife looks like an elephant. A metaphor creates a picture in our minds that is beyond the simple sounds we are projecting. If you know Latin you certainly are pretty smart because almost all of our English words come from Latin.

ARE YOU A ‘PRO’ OR ARE YOU A ‘CON’?
