The story of evolution is, I believe, a story of repeating patterns. We are at a crisis point, but the planet has been here before. Evolution has been punctuated with upheavals, which virtually wiped out existing species, including the best-known casualties, the dinosaurs. Those upheavals were directly linked to environmental catastrophes just as today’s crisis is. As the human population increases, we are competing for space with the other organisms with whom we share the planet. But the good news is that similar pressures in the past have brought into being a new way of living and will do so again. We are concluding one evolutionary cycle and preparing to embark upon another. As this cycle comes to an end, people are becoming understandably apprehensive and alarmed by the failures in the structures that support civilization. I believe, however, that

the “dinosaurs” that are currently raping nature will become extinct.

The survivors will be those who realize that our

thoughtless ways are destructive to the planet and to us.

Excerpt from "The Biology of Belief”

How can I be so sure?

Greek text, The Elements of Euclid,

My certitude comes from my study of fractal geometry. Here’s a de nition of geometry, which will explain why it is important for studying

the structure of our biosphere. Geometry is a mathematical assessment of “the way the di erent parts of something t together in relation to each other.” Until 1975, the only geometry available for study was Euclidean, which was summarized in the thirteen-volume ancient Greek text, The Elements of Euclid, written around 300 B.C. For spatially oriented students, Euclidian geometry is easy to understand because it deals with structures like cubes and spheres and cones that can be mapped on graph paper.

However, Euclidian geometry does not apply to nature. For

example, you cannot map a tree, a cloud, or a mountain using the mathematical formulas of this geometry. In nature, most organic and inorganic structures display more irregular and chaotic-appearing patterns. These natural images can only be created by using the recently discovered mathematics called fractal geometry. French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot launched the eld of fractal mathematics and geometry in 1975. Like quantum physics, fractal (fractional) geometry forces us to consider those irregular patterns, a quirkier world of curvy shapes and objects with more than three dimensions.

Benoit Mandelbrot

List of fractals by Hausdorff dimension

The mathematics of fractals is amazingly simple because you need only one equation, using only simple multiplication and addition. The same equation is then repeated ad in nitum. For example, the “Mandelbrot set” is based on the simple formula of taking a number, multiplying it by itself and then adding the original number. The result of that equation is then used as the input of the subsequent equation; the result of that equation is then used as the input for the next equation and so on. The challenge is that even though each equation follows the same formula, these equations must be repeated millions of times to actually visualize a fractal pattern. The manual labor and time needed to complete millions of equations prevented early mathematicians from recognizing the value of fractal geometry. With the advent of powerful computers Mandelbrot was able to de ne this new math.

Inherent in the geometry of fractals is the creation of ever-repeating, “self-similar” patterns nested within

one another. You can get a rough idea of the repeating shapes by picturing the eternally popular toy, hand-painted Russian nesting dolls. Each smaller structure is a miniature, but not necessarily an exact version of the larger form. Fractal geometry emphasizes the relationship between the patterns in a whole structure and the patterns seen in parts of a structure. For example, the pattern of twigs on a branch resembles the pattern of limbs branching o

the trunk. The pattern of a major river

looks like the patterns of its smaller tributaries. In the human lung, the fractal pattern of branching along the bronchus repeats in the smaller bronchioles. The arterial and venous blood vessels and the peripheral

nervous system also display similar repeating patterns.

Are the repetitive images observed in nature simply coincidence? I believe the answer is de nitely “no.” To explain why I believe fractal geometry de nes the

structure of life, let’s revisit two points.

First, the story of evolution is, as I’ve emphasized many times in this book, the story of ascension to higher awareness. Second, in our study of the membrane, we de ned the receptor-e ector protein complex (IMPs) as the fundamental unit of awareness/intelligence. Consequently, the more receptor-e ector proteins (the olives in our bread and butter sandwich model) an organism possesses,

the more awareness it can have and the

higher it is on the evolutionary ladder. However, there are physical restrictions for increasing the number of receptor-e ector proteins that can be packed into the cell’s m e m b r a n e . T h e c e l l m e m b r a n e ’s thickness measures seven to eight nanometers, the diameter of its phospholipid bilayer. The average d i a m e t e r o f t h e re c e p t o r- e e c t o r “awareness” proteins is approximately the same as the phospholipids in which they are embedded. Because the membrane’s thickness is so tightly de ned, you can’t cram in lots of IMPs by stacking them on top of one another. You’re stuck with a one-protein-thick layer. Consequently, the only option for increasing the number of awareness proteins is to increase the surface area of the membrane.

Let’s go back to our membrane “sandwich” model. More olives mean more awareness—the more olives you can layer in the sandwich, the smarter the sandwich. Which has more intelligence capacity, a slice of cocktail rye or a large slab of sour dough? The answer is simple: the larger the surface area of the bread, the greater the number of olives that can t into the sandwich. Relating this analogy to biological awareness, the more membrane surface area the cell has, the more protein “olives” it can manage. Evolution, the expansion of awareness, can then be physically de ned by the increase of membrane surface area. Mathematical studies have found that fractal geometry is the best way to get the most surface area (membrane) within a three-dimensional space (cell). Therefore, evolution becomes a fractal a air. Repeating patterns in nature are a necessity, not a coincidence, of

“fractal” evolution.

My point is not to get caught up in the mathematical details of the modeling. There are repetitive fractal patterns in nature and in evolution as well. The strikingly beautiful, computergenerated pictures that illustrate

fractal patterns should remind us that,

despite our modern angst and the seeming chaos of our world, there is order in nature,

and there is nothing truly new under the sun.

Evolution’s repetitive, fractal patterns allow us to predict that humans will gure out how to expand their consciousness in order to climb another rung of the evolutionary ladder. The exciting, esoteric world of fractal geometry provides a mathematical model that suggests that the “arbitrariness, planlessness, randomness, and accident” that Mayr wrote about is an outmoded concept. In fact, I believe it is an idea that does not serve humanity and should, as rapidly as possible, go the way of the pre-Copernican Earth-centered Universe.

Once we realize that there are repeating, ordered patterns in nature and evolution, the lives of

cells, which inspired this book and the changes in my life, become even more instructive.

For billions of years, cellular living systems have been carrying out an e ective peace plan that enables them to enhance their survival, as well as the survival of the other organisms in the biosphere. Imagine a population of trillions of individuals living under

one roof in a state of perpetual happiness. Such a community exists—it is called the healthy human body. Clearly cellular communities work better than human communities— there are no left-out, “homeless” cells in our bodies. Unless of course, our cellular communities are in profound disharmony causing some cells to withdraw from cooperating with the community. Cancers essentially represent homeless, jobless cells that are living o the other cells in the community.

If humans were to model the lifestyle displayed by healthy communities of cells, our societies and our planet would be more peaceful and vital. Creating such a peaceful community is a challenge because every person perceives the world di erently. So essentially, there are six billion human versions of reality on this planet, each perceiving its own truth. As the population grows, they are bumping up against each other.

Cells faced a similar challenge in early evolution. Shortly after the earth was formed, single-celled organisms rapidly evolved. Thousands of variations of unicellular bacteria, algae, yeast, and protozoa, each with varying levels of awareness, appeared over the next three-and-a-half billion years. It is probable that like us, those single-celled organisms

began to multiply seemingly out of control and to over-populate their environment. They began to bump up against each other and wonder, “Will there be enough for me?” It must have been scary for them, too. With that new, enforced closeness and the consequent change in their environment, they searched for an e ective response to their pressures. Those pressures led to a new and glorious era in evolution, in which single cells joined together in altruistic multicellular communities. The end result was humans, at or near the top of the evolutionary ladder.

Similarly, I believe that the stresses of the increasing human population will be responsible for pushing us up another rung on the evolutionary ladder.

We will, I believe, come together in a global community.

The members of that enlightened community will recognize that we are made in the image of our environment, i.e. that we are Divine and that we have to operate, not in a survival of the ttest manner, but in a way that supports everyone and everything on this planet.

“..those single-celled organisms began to multiply seemingly out of control and to overpopulate their environment. They began to bump up against each other and wonder,

“Will there be enough for me?”

History Repeats in Love and War:

Fractal Warnings for the Future The look on my teacher’s face that day is something I’ll always remember. She was obviously shaken as she walked into our classroom and asked us to remain calm, collect our coats and supplies, and walk quickly to the buses that were waiting for us outside. It was the middle of the day and much too early for classes to end. I remember thinking that our teacher knew something she wasn’t telling us. Why else would she be wiping tears from her eyes while asking us to stay calm It was a di erent world in 1963. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the U.S. was at its peak. The frightening

image broadcast around the world of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev holding his shoe and pounding it against a desk while shouting to America, “We will bury you!” was still fresh in my memory. I remember thinking of it each week as our class practiced dropping to our knees and ducking under our desks to protect ourselves in the event of a surprise atomic attack.

I also remember thinking that if we were ever actually bombed, my desk probably wouldn’t be much protection from the force of an atomic blast!

allowed to do so in school.” And just like that, I walked with my classmates to our buses with absolutely no indication of when, or even if, we would return

Only a year earlier, in October 1962, everyone had breathed a sigh of relief as the two superpowers backed away from one of the Cold War’s most visible confrontations and the brink of nuclear war—the Cuban missile crisis. The girl in the seat next to me remembered it, too, and whispered that maybe the “missiles were back.” We all knew that something had happened. We just didn’t know what. It’s with the backdrop of such a world that I joined hundreds of thousands of other children across the country who left school early that day. It was November 22, 1963 As we led toward the only door leading out of the classroom, the last thing I heard was my teacher’s voice attempting to provide some kind of explanation. “Your parents will have to tell you what

has happened,” she said. “We’re not

When I arrived home, our family living room was like a replay of what I had experienced at school. My mother’s eyes were red from crying, and she was obviously frightened. “Here, take a look at the television,” she said. Together we watched our family’s tiny black-andwhite TV asthe unthinkable unfolded. Each station was showing the same images, with the same story: the President of the United States had been assassinated. The nation was in shock. There were so many unanswered questions. Who did it? Why? How could such a thing have happened?

Déjà Vu, 100 Years Later

terms of things like the deaths of Presidents

Just a couple of days after John F. Kennedy’s assassination, our local newspaper printed a story that rekindled my fascination with patterns.

At rst I simply skimmed the statistics out of curiosity. While they were interesting, they seemed so generalized that I was unconvinced that there was any great mystery. My thought was that any similarities were just that: parallels that the sta writers were drawing to create a ashy story. Both Presidents, for example, had been deeply involved with racial equality and civil rights. Both had wives who had lost children while living in the White House. Both had been shot on a Friday. Both had died from a gunshot wound to the head

While I was moved by the life, ambition, and vision of Kennedy himself, the story was about the curious circumstances that surrounded his death. I read it and reread it. The title of the article was “History Repeats Itself.” Its focus was on the eerie set of “coincidences” that connect the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy to another that had occurred nearly 100 years before—that of Abraham Lincoln. While I had always been interested in patterns and cycles, I had never really thought of them in

All were certainly uncanny coincidences, but not enough to convince me that anything out of the ordinary was being revealed. The more I read, however, the more speci c and bizarre the parallels became.

Kennedy and Lincoln's Assassination

Lincoln, for example, was sitting in box number 7 of Ford’s Theatre when he was killed. Kennedy was riding in car number 7—the make was a Lincoln o ered by the Ford Motor Company—when he died. Both were with their wives at the time. Before his presidency, Lincoln had been elected to Congress in 1846. One hundred years later, in 1946, Kennedy was elected to Congress. Lincoln became President in 1860, Kennedy 100 years later in 1960. The last name of the men who replaced them in o ce was the same—Johnson—and both Johnson’s were born 100 years apart. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, while Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908 As the comparisons continued, the similarities certainly seemed to be more than coincidence. They even went beyond the assassinations themselves, weaving their way throughout the personal lives of the men, their families, and their friends. Both Presidents had four children, and both had lost two of them before they reached their teens. Both had lost a son while they were serving in the White House. The doctors for Lincoln and Kennedy had the same name: Charles Taft. The name of Lincoln’s private secretary was John (Kennedy’s rst name), and that of Kennedy’s secretary was Lincoln (Abraham’s last name)

ffi

The patterns even extended into the lives of the men who killed them—into their

personal histories, their motivations, and their captures. A law-enforcement agent named Baker, for example, detained Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth. An o cer who was also named Baker held Kennedy’s shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, in custody It seemed that the patterns were endless. But perhaps more important, they are undeniable. Regardless of why or how these two events separated by 100 years could be so similar, the fact is that they are. While this example could be chalked up to some sort of bizarre karma between these two men, the reality is that it exists. Whether we like to admit the similarities or not, the answer to our question of whether or not history repeats itself appears obvious. For at least these two events, it appears to be yes Along with our answer comes an even deeper question: Are the similarities that we see between the assassinations of two American Presidents separated by 100 years part of a greater pattern? If so,

what is the pattern, and what does it tell us about the cyclic nature of time?

of those early scholars have been con rmed. For reasons that are as eerie as they are mysterious, in the nearly 160 years that followed Harrison’s death approximately every 20 years the U.S. President has either died in o ce or has survived an attempt on his life

In the same way we search for patterns to nd meaning in the mysterious events of our day, scholars do the same thing with historic moments of the past. Following the tragic death of President Lincoln in the 1860s, for example, historians began to suspect that his assassination might be part of a pattern that was emerging. Little more than 20 years earlier, another President had tragically died in o ce. In 1841, William Henry Harrison had become ill and died of pneumonia

With the unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, the conditions of the pattern seem to have held true. The question that historians are now asking is whether or not their survival after these assassination attempts has put an end to the “20-year curse” of American Presidents. The presidential cycle of 2020 will tell the story. When we look at the statistics, however, they seem to speak for themselves.

With President Harrison’s death, it seemed that the seed had been planted for a pattern of such tragedies. In the years that have followed, the suspicions

Since the election of the United States President in 1840, the country has lost a sitting President to illness or violence every 20 years. (The election years given for McKinley and Roosevelt are for reelections.)

The 20-Year “Curse”

Whether we’re talking about the 100year coincidences between Kennedy and Lincoln or the 20-year presidential “curse,” three

FACTS

are obvious:

Fact 1: There are cycles underlying both events. Fact 2: Both cycles are “triggered” by a seed event. Fact 3: The conditions of the seed event repeat at regular intervals The facts are undeniable. The question for us is, what do they mean? What are such obvious cycles telling us about the nature of our lives, our world, and even time itself

We may nd that the message encoded into a 3,000-year-old manuscript holds the answer. But, as is so often the case, with it we open the door to an even greater mystery

Cycles & Seeds

We’re living the end of time

Not the end of the world, but the end of a world age—a 5,125-year cycle of time—and the way we’ve known the world throughout that time. The present world age began in 3114 B.C. and will end in A.D. 2012. Because the end of anything also marks the beginning of what comes next, we’re also living the start of what follows the end of time: the next world age, which ancient traditions called the great cycle.

The reason:

Physically, our solar system is moving through shortest part of an orbit that looks like a attened circle, an ellipsis whose far end carries us to the most distant point from the core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way

The physical e ect:

Both ancient traditions and modern science tell us that our location in this cyclic orbit determines how we experience the powerful sources of energy, such as the “massive magnetic elds,” which radiate from our galaxy’s core. Recent studies suggest that it is precisely such cycles that may explain the mysterious patterns of biodiversity—the rise and fall of life on Earth, such as the mass extinctions that happened 250 and 450 million years ago. Additionally, modern discoveries con rm that Earth’s position throughout the journey (orbit, tilt, and wobble) create the ever-changing cycles that in uence everything from temperature and climate to polar ice and the magnetic elds of the earth.

The emotional/spiritual e ect: As we travel farther from our

galaxy’s core, our distance from the energy located there was described by

ancient traditions as the loss of a connection that we sense both spiritually and emotionally. Scienti c links between the quality of Earth’s magnetic elds, how they’re a ected by cosmic conditions, and our feeling of well-being seem to precisely support such ancient beliefs In the same way that Earth’s rotation makes the darkest part of the night appear just before the dawn, our position in the heavens is such that the darkest part of our world age appears right before our heavenly orbit begins the return that brings us closer to our galaxy’s core. With that return, we experience relief from the cataclysmic forces of the cycle’s darkness. And just as the night must pass in order to get to the new day, the only way to arrive at the light of the next cycle is to nish the darkness of this one We all know that dark experiences de nitely exist in our world, and we don’t need to look far to nd them; however, there’s also more to life than the su ering that the ancients foresaw— much more. Even in our time of great darkness, the polarities of peace, healing, love, and compassion are alive, well, and abundant.

The cycles of nature apply to our personal lives as well as to global events.

The Seeds of Love and Betrayal

While a change of scenery can sometimes be just what the doctor ordered, it’s not

uncommon to nd that while the people, weather, and skylines are altered, the

circumstances that we thought we were leaving behind us may not. Why would they? The cycles of our world and our lives are made of time and space, the stu of the universe that cannot be bound by a building or a city. When we think about our lives from this perspective, it should come as no surprise that the cycles that play such a powerful role in the world play an equally powerful role in our personal lives. Once again, the key to uncovering such patterns is to recognize where they begin

While we probably know this relationship intuitively, it often shows up in our lives in ways, and at times, that are the least opportune or that we least expect. For example, we’ve all heard of people who leave their relationships, jobs, and friends and move to a new city for a “fresh start.” You can probably guess what often happens to those of us who do

The house felt di erent that morning. Although it was a Saturday, a day that my father normally used to catch up on the sleep he’d lost from working long hours earlier in the week, he and my mom were up early. Even though I could hear them in the kitchen, it just didn’t feel like a typical weekend. There was no singing from my mom as she went about her endless routines of homemaking. The TV screen that would normally echo the news of the week was black and cold; and there was no radio blaring Peter, Paul and Mary songs from my parents’ bedroom. Even though my mom and dad were up, except for the shu ing of footsteps moving from one room to another across the hardwood oors, the house was absolutely silent

back.” That was it. I watched as he closed his suitcase and followed him as he walked down the hallway and passed my mom in the kitchen. Her eyes were still red from crying after the conversation they’d had the night before. Together, she and I watched as my dad left our house that day. I didn’t know it at the time, but I had just witnessed the ending of my parents’ marriage. I was 11 at the time

Cautiously, I tiptoed from my room down the hallway and peeked into Mom and Dad’s bedroom. My father was there with a small suitcase open on the bed, packing his crisp corporate shirts. “Good morning, son,” he said as he caught sight of me from out of the corner of his eye. “Come in here for a minute. I want to talk to you.” Things had been tense in our house for a while. I knew that my parents were having a tough time, and my rst thought was that I was going to get an explanation at last. I was right, but it wasn’t the one that I’d expected

At rst I believed that, except for not having my dad around, everything in my life would continue as normal— everything, that is, except those things where other boys my age had their fathers present and I didn’t. From parent/teacher nights at school and father/son weekends with the Boy Scouts, to my rst public speech to our church congregation and awards presentations at my swim meets, I began to realize that something was missing in my life and that I’d lost something else on that Saturday morning as well

ffl

“I’m going away for a while,” my father said, “and I’m not sure when I’m coming

It wasn’t until years later that I began to understand how much that moment a ected me. As I came to terms with what that day had meant to me, I realized that I had lost not only my father, but also my family—at least the way I had known them for the rst 11 years of my life

If the experience is a positive one of love and life-a rming emotions, then it’s probably not a problem. There’s certainly no need to recognize it and heal anything. My sense is, however, that we seldom complain of nding ourselves “stuck” in mysterious patterns of joy, healing, and peace in

our lives. When we do, it’s probably not something that we want to change It’s the negative patterns that will inevitably arise from the situations of everyday life— moments of loss, hurt, and betrayal, for example—that can become the unconscious seeds for a pattern that shows up again and again. Fortunately, just as repeating cycles are also opportunities to change the patterns for war and aggression on a worldwide scale, if we know our individual cycles and how they work, they can become powerful allies in healing some of the greatest hurts of our personal lives.

Calculating Personal Cycle

ffi

The Time Code Calculator can help us nd such cycles in our lives. To the calculator, a cycle is a cycle, whether it is personal or global. The key is to recognize that life follows nature’s rhythms, and our emotional patterns are part of life.

The reason why I’m sharing this story here is because it o ers an example of how an experience carrying a strong emotional imprint at one time in life can become the primer for the conditions of that experience to repeat throughout other times

The Thumb Print of God: A Spiritual Exploration Through

Fractal Spirituality and it’s once perceived “archnemesis” the sciences, rallied together in the movie What the Bleep, where quantum physics exploded into the limelight as a doorway to understanding the spiritual nature of reality and the two worlds merged as one. Today there is another bridge being gapped, this time within the realm of mathematics. Often referred to in the sciences as the “Thumb Print of God”, fractals are bringing the power of nature,

creation and geometry to the forefront.

Energy Cleansing and Healin Fractal Energy Art is created based on speci c individual words or phrases. These fractals contain the meaning of the word or phrase and display how the energy of the particular language phrase is universally experienced and expressed. As well, the energy contained within the fractal emanates from the image. This type of fractal artwork can be used as healing tools and meditation aids. They also work as energy cleansers within a room, moving energy and lling the space with positive energy set at a very high vibration. In this regard, they work much like crystals and orgone generators.

Perfect for both self-counsel and professional readings. The cards create stunning spreads and are extremely easy to read and interpret. Each card contains an intuitively channeled Fractal Art image, which emanates a unique vibration and meaning. Fractals are one of the “new tools” on the planet today to aid us into Ascension. Experience profound spiritual guidance and insight into your Soul’s purpose, inner gifts and spiritual advancement.

Simply looking at a Fractal Energy Art Print for under a minute can increase the aura up to two times its size. This demonstrates the natural harmony of fractal energy and the human energy eld (and soul) and its ability to raise the eld's vibration.

Spontaneous Evolution:

I see the radical changes before us as the necessary step for our survival and our evolution.

Excerpts from an Interview with Bruce Lipton with Linda M. Potter Dr. Lipton, maybe we should start with the basics. As a global community, we’ve gotten ourselves into “this ne mess” through poor choices a nd irresponsible actions. What shapes our behavior

...our beliefs re ect beliefs we acquire from institutions like academia, religion, politics, economy and health care . These institutionalized beliefs have shaped and held the world’s current mass thinking. Originally, the current beliefs were very useful in helping civilization evolve; however, our continued use of these beliefs is now detrimental and leading us to extinction. The crises the world now faces is evidence that these beliefs are profoundly awed. Since the 1870s, we have lived in a world where we seek Truth through science. When we ask, “Is it true?” we are really asking, “Is it scienti c?” When opinion is handed down from science, we buy it as “truth.” However, frontier s c i e n c e h a s re c e n t l y c h a l l e n g e d t h e fundamental “truths” of conventional science, truths that represent the foundation of today’s beliefs. Though science is changing its truth, the public is unaware of this new knowledge.

Simply, we’re living by truths that are no longer valid. fi

Spontaneous Evolution:

Human behavior is the consequence of a large, collective number of personal individual beliefs. The more people that share the exact same beliefs, the more they manifest an energy eld which then precipitates a complementary physical eld. The way that we’re living and the beliefs that we entertain collectively are materializing as an expression

“Belief” is a concept that we most often associate with religion. How does religion t into this picture The role of “belief” in our lives isn’t new stuff — it’s ancient. I am not a religious person, especially because I think that in part, the institution of religion has led to many of the problems that we currently face. But, if you just listen to some of the words attributed directly to Jesus, not particularly other people’s interpretations of them, he offered, “You can heal your life with your belief. You can do all the miracles I can do, but you don’t believe.” This wisdom in light of the “new” biology is absolutely true. There are fundamentalist Christians in the south who do something mind-blowing and profound —in Testifying that God protects them, they drink strychnine poison in toxic doses. And nothing happens to them. That’s kind of miraculous, isn’t it Other people walk across hot coals. If they fully believe they can, they’re not going to get burned. Questioning that belief in the middle of the walk leads to burns and blisters. The fundamental truth is that we are not victims; we are creators. And it’s all based on our beliefs.

The fundamental truth is that we are not victims; we are creators. And it’s all based on our beliefs.

Newtonian emphasis on the physical reality left us with the belief in a physical existence, but challenged the belief in a spiritual afterlife. However, quantum physics has changed the game. Rather than a physical emphasis, the new science recognizes that the Universe is made out of a “shaping” energy called the eld. The eld, by de nition, is: invisible moving forces that shape the physical world. Interestingly, the de nition of spirit is: invisible moving forces that shape the physical world. Quantum physics reveals that both matter and energy exists, and they are both the same thing! The original quantum physicists in the 1930s recognized that the Universe was immaterial and it was based on human consciousness. Simply, it’s through our consciousness that we manifest the world we experience. While most people would perceive of life on Earth as being more akin to purgatory or even Hell, the truth is we are living in Heaven, a place where we can create our dearest wishes. You might say, “I wouldn’t create this mess.” And I would agree with you, but, as mentioned, we are only consciously creating our world ve percent of the time. The rest of our creation efforts are shaped by our subconscious programming, using beliefs that are actually controlled by other people’s beliefs. What if you were creating your life strictly from conscious wishes and desires? You actually did that if you ever fell head over heels in love. The period called the “honeymoon” wherein you created Heaven on Earth, is a re ection of your creative abilities and, as recognized by science, was due to you operating nearly 100 percent of the time using your conscious mind and not defaulting to the subconscious programs.

The Unconscious Mind Unveiled

The eld, by de nition, is: invisible moving forces that shape the physical world. Interestingly, the de nition of spirit is: invisible moving forces that shape the physical world.

In your new book, you wrote that, “We are currently in dire need of evolutionary advancement and don’t have time for a slow,

What does “spontaneous” evolution look like g radual evolution.”

Human civilization is coming to a fork in the road and if we don’t make the right choices, our destination may end here. If we make the appropriate changes, jumping out of a belief system that is self-destructive and move into a belief system that is self and Nature-supporting, we can make a big impact and change destiny by creating one great community of human beings called Humanity. We really must step out of our current reality — out of this self-destructive manifestation — and entertain the creation of a new, healthy, harmonious reality We are collectively creating a world, so if we collectively envision a different world, then we collectively experience a different world. The spontaneous part is that as soon as the consciousness changes — at that very moment — Earth changes occur as well.

Science has compared the rates of species extinction today with the mass extinctions events in the past. We are losing species faster today than in previous extinction events. For example, it is estimated that in 30 years the sh will be shed out of the ocean. The idea of a planet earth 30 years from now with no sh in the ocean seems like science ction, but no, if we continue decimating the sh population and destroying the ocean’s ecosystems process, the end is evident and imminent. Our evolution and survival are based on the existence of a supportive environment. When we alter the environment too much and knock out species necessary in the chain of life, human survival is truly in question. The sixth mass extinction is a scienti c reality and the conclusion of science is that it’s due to human behavior. We have to stop ignoring the future because it is not that far away anymore. If you or your children are planning to be around in 20 more years, you’re likely to see a major environmental catastrophe. Yet, if we wake up NOW, there is still time to make a positive impact and help avert what appears to be an inevitable crash.

“particle accelerator” The inner voice that speaks to me whispered these words “particle accelerator” and this is the nudge to explore... ---------------------As we pass through the photon belt The center of light Our Milky Way galaxy We are sprinkled with pixy dust and it’s golden light In truth this is the particle accelerator We all should be talking about

This brings us back to center From our inner to our outer space It’s called the shift of the ages A moment of illumination

This is the time for Self Mastery This is the test of this age To find our saintly grace And return to a loving space So as we pass through this particle accelerator The more coherent we are Body, mind and spirit we are The less bumpy the ride through the wave will be

This golden light has a conductive design Jolting our minds Leaving us jittery Reflecting on our load

These energy vampires have every resource in their purse For they have mined your mind and even earths gold

Don’t get stuck in the old feed-back loop The old stories that replay in your mind This is the dragon chasing its tail And of the old reptilian mind

One can feel its intensity Its laser precision As it casts out our shadow And brings things to light

The ancient myths has us transfixed And have manipulated and stolen our soul

Note their message is one of fear So stay clear And remember that God too, resides within you And will protect you And guide you through

For every 25,000 thousand years We align at this rift And on this rotation It accelerates our vibration Aligning us to higher consciousness

To much dark matter the Darth Vadir, the invader of our soul Its time for the light saber (savor) To fight for the heart spirit within

Remember your pure chemistry And what you have been bonded to will detach if it does not serve you This is pure alchemy More radiation, a higher vibration Recalibrating and mutating our DNA As the parts and particles of our life’s detach And there is nothing to hold, or bond to Within this gap it can be a touch frightening So remember what the Hopi’s predicted Do not cling to things of old Flow into the river As your molecules let go And release what does not serve you For there is a promise of a Golden Age Which was predicated by the sages This is no time for judgement but to for-GIVE For these stories of old we were meant to sow It’s all part of this reality This world of duality Where shadow meets light

And as we experience the poler shift And we are all of the one mind It will be a cosmic flip To a new transcript, Where the new polarity is light So shift into gear Rise your vibration And clean out your fears The old mind game is designed As a past illusions to just survive This matrix trip...here is a tip If if is not serving you it will put you in servitude and keep you frozen to THIS time.

Reason this: When you think from your past memories, you can only create past experiences. As all of the “knowns” in your life cause your brain to think and feel in familiar ways, thus creating knowable outcomes, you continually rea rm your life as you know it. And since your brain is equal to your environment, then each morning, your senses plug you into the same reality and initiate the same stream of consciousness.

ffi

All of the sensory input that your brain processes from the external world (that is, seeing, smelling, hearing, feeling, and tasting) turns your brain on to think equal to everything familiar in your reality. You open your eyes and you know the person lying next to you is your spouse because of your past experiences together. You hear barking outside your door, and you know it’s your dog wanting to go out. There’s a pain in your back, and you remember it’s the same pain you felt yesterday. You associate your outer, familiar world with who you think you are, by

You may not think that your environment and your thoughts are that rigidly similar and your reality so easily reproduced. But when you consider that your brain is a complete record of your past, and your mind is the product of your consciousness, in one sense you might always be thinking in the past. By responding with the same brain hardware that matches what you remember, you’re creating a level of mind that is identical to the past, because your brain is automatically ring existing circuits to re ect everything you already know, have experienced, and thus can predict. According to quantum law (which, by the way, is still working for you), your past is now becoming your future.

remembering yourself in this dimension, this particular time and space.

Our Morning Routine: Plugging into Our Past Self What do most of us do each morning after we’ve been plugged into our reality by these sensory reminders of who we are, where we are, and so forth? Well, we remain plugged into this past self by following a highly routine, unconscious set of automatic behaviors.

For example, you probably wake up on the same side of the bed, slip into your robe the same way as always, look into the mirror to remember who you are, and shower following an automatic routine. Then you groom yourself to look like everyone expects you to look, and brush your teeth in your usual memorized fashion. You drink co ee out of your favorite mug and eat your customary breakfast cereal. You put on the jacket you always wear and unconsciously zip it up.

Next, you automatically drive to work along your accustomed, convenient route. At work you do the familiar things that you have memorized how to do so well. You see the same people, who push your same emotional buttons, which causes you to think the same thoughts about those people and your work and your life.

Later, you hurry up and go home, so you can hurry up and eat, so you can hurry up and watch your favorite TV show, so you can hurry up and go to bed, so you can hurry up and do it all over again. Has your brain changed at all that day?

W h y a re y o u s e c re t l y e x p e c t i n g something di erent to show up in your life, when you think the same thoughts, perform the same actions, and experience the same emotions every single day? Isn’t that the de nition of insanity? All of us have fallen

prey to this type of limited life, one time or another. By now, you understand the reason why.

In the preceding example, it is safe to say that you’re reproducing the same level of m i n d , e v e r y d a y.

And if the

quantum world shows that t h e e n v i ro n m e n t i s a n extension of your mind (and that mind and matter are one),

then as long as your mind remains

the same, your life will stay “status quo.”

Thus, if your environment remains the same and you react by thinking in the same way, then according to the quantum model of reality, shouldn’t you create more of the same? Think of it this way: input remains the same, so the output has to remain the same. How, then, can you ever create anything new?

Hardwired to Hard Times

There is another possible consequence that I should mention, if you keep ring the same neural patterns by living your life the same way each day. Every time you respond to your familiar reality by re-creating the same mind (that is, turning on the same nerve cells to make the brain work in the same way), you “hardwire” your brain to match the customary conditions in your personal reality, be they good or bad.

There is a principle in neuroscience called Hebbian's Law. It basically states that

very speci c mental signature. This signature is called your personality.

“nerve cells that re together, wire together.” Hebb’s credo demonstrates that if

How You Form the Habit of

you repeatedly activate the same nerve cells, then each time they turn on, it will be easier for them to re in unison again. Eventually those neurons will develop a long-term relationship.1

So when I use the word hardwired, it means that clusters of neurons have red so many times in the same ways that they have organized themselves into speci c patterns with long-lasting connections. The more these networks of neurons re, the more they wire into static routes of activity. In time, whatever the oft-repeated thought, behavior, or feeling is, it will become an automatic, unconscious habit. When your environment is in uencing your mind to that extent, your habitat becomes your habit. So if you keep thinking the same thoughts, doing the same things, and feeling the same emotions, you will begin to hardwire your brain into a nite pattern that is the direct re ection of your nite reality. Consequently, it will become easier and more natural for you to reproduce the same mind on a moment-to-moment basis.

This innocent response cycle causes your brain and then your mind to reinforce even further the particular reality that is your external world. The more you re the same circuits by reacting to your external life, the more you’ll wire your brain to be equal to your personal world. You’ll become neurochemically attached to the conditions in your life. In time, you’ll begin to think “in the box,” because your brain will re a nite set of circuits that then creates a

Being Yourself As an e ect of this neural habituation, the two realities of the inner mind and the outer world seem to become almost inseparable. For instance, if you can never stop thinking about your problems, then your mind and your life will merge together as one. The objective world is now colored by the perceptions of your subjective mind, and thus reality continuously conforms. You become lost in the illusion of the dream.

You could call this a rut, and we all fall into them, but it goes much deeper than that: not just your actions, but also your attitudes and your feelings become repetitive. You have formed the habit of being yourself by becoming, in a sense, enslaved to your environment. Your thinking has become equal to the conditions in your life, and thus you, as the quantum observer, are creating a mind that only rea rms those circumstances into your speci c reality. All you are doing is reacting to your external, known, unchanging world.

The good news is that since you created this loop, you can choose to end it. The quantum model of reality tells us that to change our lives, we must fundamentally change the ways we think, act, and feel. We must change our state of being. Because how we think, feel, and behave is, in essence, our personality, it is our personality that creates our personal reality. So to create a new personal reality, a new life, we must create a new personality; we must become someone else.

To change, then, is to think and a ct g re a t e r th a n o u r p re sent circumstances, greater than our environment.

Greatness Is Holding Fast to a Dream, Independent of the Environment

Before I begin to explore the ways in which you can think greater than your environment and to thus break the habit of

In a very real way, you have become an e ect of circumstances outside of yourself. You have allowed yourself to give up control of your destiny. Unlike Bill Murray’s character in the movie Groundhog Day, you’re not even ghting against the ceaseless monotony of what you are like and what your life has become. Worse, you aren’t the victim of some mysterious and unseen force that has placed you in this repetitive loop—you are the creator of that loop.

being yourself, I want to remind you of something.

It is possible to think greater than your present reality, and history books are lled with people who have done so, men and women such as Martin Luther King, Jr., William Wallace, Marie Curie, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Edison, and Joan of Arc. Every one of these individuals had a concept in his or her mind of a future reality that existed as a potential in the quantum eld. This vision was alive in an inner world of possibilities beyond the senses, and in time, each of these people made those ideas a reality.

As a common thread, they all had a dream, vision, or objective that was much larger than they were. They all believed in a future destiny that was so real in their minds that they began to live as if that dream were already happening. They couldn’t see, hear, taste, smell, or feel it, but they were so possessed by their dream that they acted in a way that corresponded to this potential reality ahead of time. In other words, they behaved as if what they envisioned was already a reality.

For example, the imperialist dictums that had India under colonial rule in the early 1900s were demoralizing to Indians. Despite that, Gandhi believed in a reality that wasn’t yet present in his people’s lives. He wholeheartedly endorsed the concepts of equality, freedom, and nonviolence with undying conviction.

When our behaviors match our intentions, when our actions are equal to our thoughts, when our minds and our bodies are working together, when our words and our deeds are aligned . . .

there is an immense power behind any individual.

Even though Gandhi endorsed liberty for all, the reality of tyranny and British control at that time was quite di erent. The conventional beliefs of that era were in contrast to his hopes and aspirations. Although the experience of liberty was not a reality while he was initially engaged in changing India, he did not let outward evidence of adversity sway him to give up this ideal.

For a long time, much of the feedback from the external world didn’t show Gandhi that he was making a di erence. But seldom did he allow the conditions in his environment to control his way of being. He believed in a future that he could not yet see or experience with his senses, but which was so alive in his mind that he could not live any other way. He embraced a new future life while physically living his present life. He understood that the way he was thinking, acting, and feeling would change the current conditions in his environment. And eventually, reality began to change as a result of his e orts.

When our behaviors match our intentions, when our actions are equal to our thoughts, when our minds and our bodies are working together, when our words and our deeds are aligned . . . there is an immense power behind any individual.
