this damn cocoon

Which is more important to you, how you look to others, or immortality?

I paused, lost in thought, in the middle of a beach stream of water., pen and paper in hand...coolest moment of my life so far.  (and I was cool.  Haven't outgrown my boyhood desire to be "cool" I guess!)

We are fallen angels who fear they have lost our power.  Here are the four ways people try to steal power from others

By playing the
Indifferent
Perpetrator
Savior
Victim

I thought I was past this, since it seems to be the meaningless "dynamics" of ego .  I have studied a lot of course in miracles.  But maybe this never stops even when you are a god.  When you realize the source of all power is within you, of course, you stop trying to steal it from others. I don't even look outside myself anymore.  My consciousness is involuted,  as Meher Baba says.

Here's an ancient prayer:

May Gaia, our Mother Earth
Watch over my every step
May the angel Michael secure my right
Gabriel my left
May Uriel walk in front of me
Raphael behind me
And may God almighty
Protect the top of my head

I'll call the above, poem A

Liturgical song sung by the Scottish in order give themselves courage to fight the English.  A link between the human ways of acquiring energy, and the protection of a specific angel situated in the four directions.
Earlier, I remarked that I experience my ego as energy concentrations situated around me. I guess these are what are called Angels.  Some people when they meet Angels, hear the Angel say "I am you".  At higher consciousness, Angels are just aspects of your consciousness

It's not dangerous to hear the voice of God, nor to speak it, because it is love.
Yell it from the roof tops. . . .although if you do this naked, they'll arrest you. . . .better consider that.

"I have always wanted to be a sand castle" this statement illustrates what Jesus meant when he said that truth , or the kingdom of heaven , is experience not of this ordinary world. Because God, or consciousness itself, becomes the sandcastle, or anything else, for that "matter" I AM THAT I AM

There are thousands of gurus in higher dimensions. I see a circle of men with white beards and robes, sitting in a circle.   One white bearded man says to me "we're all the same, really" then all the sages look at each other, nod, and say in unison. "Only different"

I'm sure there are women there too! Once i drop my sexist prejudices.  So let's change it, and see the women, too.  Women are actually more important in this new age we are in.  We're handing the baton of influence to them. Man as a species, . . as a newly evolved being consciousness. . . is moving his psyche over to the right brain artistic, intuitional.  We will fly throughout the universe like a butterfly, once we get out of this damn cocoon!
