There was a man in Cleveland...

He was an older man with some kind of European acent, German, maybe; he was a retired painter, or so I heard, who had lived a long and worldly life. Then, the story went, he got God. When I was there, in college, he was a Regular around the Lagoon that reflects the Cleveland Art Museum, and its busted bronze of Rodin's Thinker--one of the original eight or so that the sculptor made (which some lack-wit revolutionary stuffed with dynamite one night in 1970. I, a freshman living a mile or so away... Sign in to see full entry.

"I. O."

Many long years ago, when I was a freshman at Western Reserve U in Cleveland, I had a friend in the neighboring school, Case Institute of Technology. I took classes in Classics, and Anthropology, and French and stuff. He took hard-core Physics... He taught me this. On any test in Physics or Math, just as in grade school and high school, students were required to show on paper how they had arrived at the solution to their problem. But there were some basics that they did not have to prove on... Sign in to see full entry.

Is this a Good Post, or an Evil Post?

Myself, I don't consider the 'rightness' or 'wrongness' of a thing, I am more interested in how it affects what's around it. Spiritually, does it increase the Light in the world, or cast deeper, longer shadows? Does it bring us more towards unity (ref to an earlier post: Everything = 1 ) or does it increase the illusion of alone-ness and abandonment? In mundane terms, does it work, or not work? And if it works now, will it still have worked a few years from now? Consider the making of Peace:... Sign in to see full entry.

Holograms: A brief multi-dimensional moment

I understand holograms to be produced at the inersection of two "coherent light sources" (lasers, that is). At the point of intersection is the illusion of 3-dimensional Reality. So--suppose we have three, or four, or more coherent energy sources? Like the senses, for instance... Do you suppose we would get an even more compelling illusion of Reality where they all intersect. I think maybe we would! Maybe we do... As the story went, that is mentioned in an earlier post in this blog, the guru... Sign in to see full entry.

Vampires, Eh?

One of the drawbacks with not hiding your light under a bushel is that, in this sometimes murky world, the light attracts things: Moths, naturally, and other insects, and as you might expect, the odd vampire or two. The brighter you shine, the more those critters come rattling at your window... And if it's wide open, they will come in! As Oceandancer observes in her blog not far from here (check my blogs list) there are real vampires, and they suck up a person's vitality like Dracula sucks... Sign in to see full entry.

How do you know when you are reading the Bible

that you are, in fact, reading the Bible? It's all very well to say that the Word of God is Inspired, so it must be Right. But maybe not: Inspiration I have no argument with, but I know also that the Light of true Inspiration comes to a writer's fingertips through layers of filters and Parts (as mentioned also in previous posts in this place) that distort and obscure and cast long shadows... What comes out the other side may resemble what came in, but maybe not so much. I've mentioned this... Sign in to see full entry.

Financially secure Mediums are rare, even when their work is well-done...

To continue yesterday's discussion... One of the things we can all do, is to sense when we are being lied to. Obviously, it is a field left fallow in our culture: we believe--a taught belief layered upon us by generations of autority telling us we can't know what's good or best or true for us, that God does not speak to each of us, that we are, in fact, gullible nitwits, " but trust us because we are your leaders, your doctors, your priests..." We believe we are not able, not supposed to be able... Sign in to see full entry.

Finding a Happy Medium

Psychics! Channelers! Spell-casters! Readers of Auras and Speakers to the Dead! I'm as resentful and defensive as anyone about being made to look a fool, but frankly, I'm more wary of MDs and politicians when it comes to paying good money for misinformation and outright lies. Paying for being led astray--not just the financial cost, but the emotional, too: The cost of disappointment. Of hearing the world sniggering as you pass through the marketplace... Every time we take the pill the doctor... Sign in to see full entry.

Gods, God and Thought-forms

Remember those three concentric circles of Conscious / Unconscious / Higher Conscious? That they also represent Physical / Astral / Spiritual planes, or levels of Reality? Or Manifest / Blueprint / Intent...? Well, I'm going back there now, to talk about contents. Specifically, this time, the content of the middle ring, the astral, the blueprint, the thought-form plane, where thoughts are real things, and thought-forms are the bodies of them. Every thing and every thought has a form in the... Sign in to see full entry.

What God Has To Be, To Be God :

This is a universe of swirling, spiraling, zigging and zagging energy: We exist in a maelstrom of flying feelings and fears, hopes, thoughts and intentions; We deal with stuff that is physical and stuff that is not, but is real all the same. We are energies: we broadcast like radio stations and receive like lightning rods! The separations we see and the distinctions we make are imaginary conveniences. Oh, and they are energy, too... Everything is energy. Everything. Everything. EVERY THING! The... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
