the universe that we are

God is our attempt to understand the universe.

We put all the power of movement, of thought, of creation on someone out there somewhere while that power is here, in co-relationship. Our out-breathing is God's in-breathing. Our in-breathing is God's out-breathing.

The situation, the place and setting in which we find ourselves (double meaning) is an interspiraling whose imagery is reflected in the double helix of DNA.

God is found in a whirlwind. We and God interwhirl.

We understand and embody the universe that we are as an interwhirling.

mind renewal

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Romans 12:2

One current of the renewal consists of switching from sensory perception to visionary intuition as our default mode. By doing so we open to a community of spiritual kin, beings of pure visionary intuition. We merge with a holoarchy of wisdom and compassion (love) while maintaining our individuality.

Mind renewal comes from this active practice of intuitive vision. In heaven-earth language, rather than focusing as an earth being looking to open to the heavens, one is a heavenly being living on earth. We turn in side out.

capacity

I cannot see what I cannot see.
I can see only what I can see.
I can see only what I have the capacity to see.

If I cannot see it, it does not exist for me.
Others can see it and I cannot.
If I trust the others, I can believe it exists but cannot see it.

If I expand my capacity I can see it.
I know this because I have expanded my capacity before.
I can become more capacious.

The Cosmos is a Who and not a What.
Others whom I trust can see this.
I see it somewhat. I open to seeing it somewho.

When I open to Who, it is no longer an it.
The Cosmos teems with Who's.
All is Who.

The Earth is a Who, not a What.
Animals are Who.
Mountains are Who.

All is Who-ly.

the cha-cha-cha and the hidden springs

In addition to ego consciousness (the encapsulated I-Me-Mine), we have/are ordinal (straight-line ordinary) or surface consciousness and depth consciousness. Depth consciousness is not swayed by the winds and currents of the surface. Depth consciousness is fed by hidden springs, hidden to the ego cha-cha-cha and to the surface make-a-buck-and-spend-it world. Depth consciousness is engaged in two ways: quiet stillness and vibrant openness. The quiet stillness is vibrantly open and the vibrant openness has calm stillness at its core. Thus the hidden springs keep flowing. The Aware Cosmos is ready to reveal itself and does.

the savior laughed

The Savior laughed and said to them: "What are you thinking about? Are you perplexed? What are you searching for?" Philip said: "For the underlying reality of the universe and the plan." [The Sophia (Wisdom) of Jesus Christ]

My soul glows every time I read those words. "The Savior" is the one who has all wisdom, who IS all wisdom. The Savior knows "the underlying reality of the universe and the plan" and evidently the ground of being and the forecast is good.

S/he (the Savior is androgynous) does not cry, weep, and mourn. The Savior laughs. The Wisdom of the cosmos laughs. This is not a laughing at. This is a laughing with.

What is "the underlying reality of the universe and the plan?" Read the rest of the text for a more complete answer if you wish. The answer I hear and have always heard is compassionate love and laughter.
