from Rob Moore
A mish-mash of topics but you may just find the nugget of truth
you've been after. (Yeah, some might call 'em blogs).
Beyond Me
If I had to choose one word that best describes my year to this point, it would be, "Huh?" I knew I was up for a year of change but it would suit me just fine to start to see some glimmer of what things are going to change TO. Thus far it's been all about finding some way to say, "Whatever," in response to an avalanche of incomprehensible actions and decisions
by a bevy of bodies and brains and personalities outside my own. For years I've agreed with the idea that the earth would be restored to peace and perfection if everybody would just leave it alone. I'm teetering on the edge of concluding that, too, may be the answer for me personally. Problem is, I need others who understand me and hear me and support me and get where I'm coming from. Others who likewise desire for me to understand them and hear them and support them and feel the reassurance that results. If anything, this year in which that precious commodity has been
in short supply has demonstrated its importance to me.
This is nothing completely new, mind you. I've been here before in the Land of the Lost. I know from experience that the process of "not knowing" is a vital and necessary staircase toward the faintly detectable sounds of jubilation and merriment in some heretofore unseen locale up a few more stories. I remember the sensation of exhilaration and the deep recognition of inner merriment that resulted when I finally reached the Mystery Door (which instantly ceased to be a mystery as soon as
I opened it and realization of what just happened took its place).
So, as it turns out, this is a blog about faith. It's a pity that very word has archaic and religious tones emanating so loudly from its very enunciation. Still, this what's-around-the-next-corner thing is a faith thing. And though I may be blinded by the
un-figure-outables who seem to have me surrounded at the moment, the actual faith in question is not of the blind variety.
I have been through this process before. I recognize this ride. Though my emotions scream with disdain and sometimes
the rawest of fear, this is where the brain comes in handy through its capacity to remember and place concepts into perspective. And with that, intuition cross-references what's going on here as it happens and -- if we can tap into its subtle vibrations -- will steer us MOST directly to where we have MOST wanted to be for a long time.
Oh, and just for the record, while all this "not-knowing" is going on, I'm not finding myself to be particularly happy or jubilant.
I've decided I'm just not gonna be. Not even gonna try. Somehow taking that pressure off makes "happy"
seem not quite so far out of reach anymore.
Perfectly Repeated Miscalculations
Apparently ol' Newton hit multiple nails on their heads with his "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" thing. Nowhere have I personally found this principle demonstrated more fully or frequently than through the action of communicating. It's actually the very reasoning behind "never say never". (Let's just say that would be a MOST UNLIKELY choice for me at this point in the learn-from-one's-own-mistakes game.)
So wouldn't you know it? Even as I spoke in the video on astrology and numerology as someone rather familiar with these topics, I had miscalculated my daily numerology for the day. And therefore the next. And therefore the next. Actually, quite a few more "next's" than I ever would've imagined. Whew... good thing I abandoned religiously-derived solutions long ago in lieu of following my inner compass above all else.
What I'm even more relieved about is the fact that -- as with all things I set out to do -- I made a conscious and heartfelt request to all that is beyond me to lead the entire presentation in whatever direction would be most beneficial. Or put another way, I set my sincere intentions upon creating a piece that would be genuinely useful to the most people. I mean, we're talking about basically a video blog and therefore something completely unscripted. Since I was totally focused on making an astrology/numerology video, I'm not so convinced I would've brought the whole topic back home to heeding our insides above all else had I not aligned my mind with a higher purpose. Or even the IDEA of a higher purpose.
Higher purpose or not, I've heard it said and seen it written for years that we're only ever talking to ourselves. Hmmmm...
I must say that the more videos I make and the more blogging I do, the more truth I see there. Even so, it's still perfect and still for the greatest benefit. Here's why: Because the part in the video about being true to our own compass came from a higher level of consciousness than my brain, it spoke to me. I took those words to heart and began to examine how I navigate my days. As a result, I actually did begin to note a feeling of not being quite in sync with what numerology was telling me. (Normally, it very much supports what's going on and how I feel.) I made the decision to practice what I had preached, to just go with my gut, and not worry about the logistics. A few days later when my miscalculations surfaced, I was so glad I opted for me above "the system". And even more glad the whole situation jived with what I said in that video I made for...
well, at least for myself.
It May Not Be an Aura But I See SOMETHING
For years and years and years I've gravitated back to the shelf to reference Barbara Brennan's "Hands of Light" book.
I have to read and reread this thing because it's so packed with information and possibilities I can only take it in a little at a time. I also happen to believe that -- like the ability to channel information as I demonstrate on this site -- all the extrasensory skills Barbara describes will one day be part of daily life for all human beings. Okay, but I wanna see auras NOW! However, since tapping into the channeling thing, I've realized once again that my actual experience of these kinds of phenomena is usually very different than anything described in a book. Or anything outlined by a so-called "master". I suspect that has less to do with me as it does with the absolute impossibility of describing something that exists beyond word-based communication. Pardon me while I hurdle right on over any kind of academic debate here and just say I've found it boils down to becoming aware of the possibilities mapped out by words and then allowing a balance of intent, intuition, and serendipity to lead us to the actual experience.
Which leads to where my intentions, intuitions, and serendipitous occurrences have led me as of late.
Walking home from the gym a couple of days ago, I came upon a young woman strolling her baby. Arriving at a rampless curb, the young mother opted against merely leveraging the modest stroller with her foot in order to get the front wheels down to the pavement. Instead, she implemented a more complex method involving very grand, sweeping hawk-like gestures to go around to each individual tiny little wheel and, with her giant, sweeping wing-span, zero in on each tiny little brake lever. Then, her expansive, grandly gesturing wings set out to manually pick up the stroller and HER PRECIOUS CARGO which anyone within a 300 foot radius could not help but become aware of due to ALL THE GRAND GESTURING and SPANNING OF WINGS and GENERAL PUFFING UP due to THIS MASSIVE CURB SITUATION. I actually noticed a slightly different "visual" going on simultaneously. In order to transport this stroller to the pavement four inches below, the woman seemingly put on a leather tool belt and a hard hat, rolled up her flannel sleeves, and dug her hands into the laborious task required of her to fulfill her duties as an attentive and conscientious mother.
In case it's not glaringly obvious, this woman displayed elements of needing to be noticed and being dramatic which annoyed me but above and beyond all that are the visuals that I could not help but "see" during this brief but dynamic encounter. I could "see" the hawk wings surrounding her baby and creating a protective barrier. I could "see" her construction worker clothes as she formed a "work zone" with her energy. I can't help but question if this is a form of energy field perception. It's my understanding that those (like Barbara Brennan) who are able to see auras perceive glowing light in specific, emotionally related colors. What I am starting to realize I've always seen is more like a cartoon overlay surrounding the person and their movements. (I also can't help but question if this sort of "seeing" is how the pioneers of the animation industry came to develop many of their characters... and their characteristics.) Along these lines, I regularly see a guy who I always perceive to be carrying a load of bricks on his back while in another way someone is behind him whipping him. Yesterday I saw a guy holding a cage around his wounded, pain-filled heart. On the secondary level he was a preteen boy holding his hands over his head in terror of being hit by unforeseen debris. So are these hawks, bricks, cages, and tool belts forms of auras? I suspect so and -- as I have learned to do from the past -- I am fully respecting what I discern as valuable information. Hopefully I will gain more definitive answers very soon. I have signed up for a week of energy training with one of the pioneers of Human Energy Field awareness.
I cannot help but think there will be more to follow.
On the Edge of the Griffith Park Wildfire
I live right at the foot of L.A.'s cherished Griffith Park and have witnessed this past week's wildfire as it headed
straight for my back door. Hey, there's a lot in L.A. and even in my community that I find irritating and frustrating;
more people than I care to admit who I find just plain tough to deal with on a daily basis. There's plenty here that
makes me wonder why the frick I don't up sticks and head to Wyoming or somewhere. But whenever I drive through
these gorgeous, tree-lined Los Feliz streets or catch a glimpse of those natural Griffith Park hills, I fill with deep gratitude
for the privilege of living right here at this uniquely diverse spot on the map.
Yesterday as I drove from work, instead of the usual lush, green hillside that tells me I'm home, I face a charred, gray,
slope of ashy death. Even though there were all these butch truckers in the freeway lanes beside me, I couldn't help it...
I just burst into tears. "Goddamn it, man... not my beloved park!!! That's ME! That's HOME!"
But that's not ALL those tears were about. There were some feelings of deep gratitude mixed in there for the firefighters and
decision-makers who kept up the effort all through the night and contained that bewildering wildfire to the... well... wild, really.
I've always strived to be very philosophical about such things. Earthquakes, forest fires, floods, and all things deemed
natural "disasters" by us mere mortals are deeply important to keeping the balance.
I therefore seek for reasons to feel gratitude for them as quickly as possible.
When the natural phenomenon is rapping at our own doors, however, gratitude fails to come very quickly. That's usually
when I find myself turning into my own personal set of natural disasters. I quake my fist at the universe, fear turns my mouth into a drought-stricken desert, and finally -- when I can't take the hanging on of internal turmoil any longer --
a flood of tears bursts forth and washes a new perspective my way.
So where does that leave things now? Honestly, I F-ing hate the idea that the park is going to be a barren wasteland
for this coming summer. I don't like the thought that coyotes and raccoons will likely find their way to Twinkies
in neighboring garbage cans. However, I am grateful that a long overdue process of natural order and balance has come
to ensure renewed life in this area. That's why I'm grateful to the firefighters for helping maintain that natural order
while sparing my neighbors and me some not-so-natural chaos.
One Day Per Earth, Please
Alterno-soul that I am, I've never been big on a particular idea being assigned to a particular calendar date.
Like Thanksgiving. Or Mother's Day. Or Earth Day. All very worthwhile areas of focus to me... I just think they deserve
a conscious focus every day. Or at least when I have a genuine, heartfelt desire to offer my focus.
In the case of Earth Day -- as the calendar guys have deemed this day -- I think more than a few of us can see
how a continual focus would serve everyone well.
Very much in the interest of a cleaner, cooler, more efficiently operating Earth, I wish channeling could hurry up and be seen
as more of a scientific idea than the spiritual, head-in-the-clouds mysticism it's considered to be now. Channeling is simply
the accessing of information from a higher level of consciousness than the thing or situation in question.
Nothing new about that idea... it's one of Einstein's recognized observations.
During one of my more profound channelings it was indicated that we are going to get many global imbalances addessed. Largely by returning to some long-forgotten basics, the next decade or so promise sweeping changes globally.
Instead of creating more paper and plastic waste, perhaps we'll carry our own airtight containers to the market to be filled up
with what we need. Idling on a treadmill for forty-five minutes might seem downright ludicrous as walking to a needed
destination will be the preferred cardio of the day.
What I highly suspect will NOT give way to such Little-House-on-the-Prairie reversions are the great advancements we've
made in telecommunications and the accessing and processing of information. However, the here-today-gone-tomorrow
computer carcasses, obsolete disc players, suddenly-lame cell phones and the gazillions of remote controls
are what I suspect WILL go the way of the prairie petticoat.
I have long maintained that we will change the channel on our TVs merely by focusing on the channel number we want,
thereby eliminating the need for that pile of remotes scattered across our coffee tables. I was sooooo glad to see on the
Discovery Channel that this idea is actively being researched and pursued. Although using a destined-to-be-obsolete
computer chip implant method, researchers are finding that monkeys can perform computer commands simply by thinking
the appropriate thought. This story was followed by a look at the active pursuit of one researcher's attempt to computer-simulate
the human brain's ability to cross-process information. He is applying chemical reaction knowledge to the currently used method of electronic computing.
For me, I can't help but see all this research as one long, arduous -- albeit necessary -- road to uncovering the ultimate answer: We have always possessed the power to do whatever serves us. Naturally. Inherently. It's at a level of consciousness just beyond the actual dilemma and simply requires a bit of finesse to tune into the frequency. The understanding of this basic principle, though, will enable us to not only channel surf without a remote but also to arrive at work without the aid of a transportation device. The future is now. It really is.
It just may take a few decades to unlearn everything to the contrary.
04-12-07 A Little Practice Backing Up and Parking
I've been waiting for that wham-blam, hit-over-the-head inspiration for my next blog but I've concluded that's simply
not going to happen right now. As I began covering in my first video in the series on manifesting, this morning
I asked the powers that be what would be most beneficial to blog about right now. I instantly got the topic of "just being".
Definitely apropos... been doing a whooooooole lotta that lately.
It would certainly seem -- in my life anyway -- that there are often periods of incredible growth and development
and exciting upward movement. Just as I'm about to get the hang of juggling eight balls at once... POOF! ...nothing.
The sound of an occasional tumbleweed wafting by or a distant family of crickets on the arid plains is about
as exciting as it gets, ya know?
Being a fireball Sagittarius, when things seem to be stuck in neutral, it is most uncomfortable. Just feels wrong.
After encountering this up-downage/start-stoppage for many years, I have come to see that not only is it the natural
progression of things but it is absolutely vital to the success of our plans to pull back periodically -- frequently, really --
and get clear about where all our activity has landed us. The understanding that any given time period would be most
wisely used assessing and reassessing, pulling back and getting clear, is the key I've found to comfortably navigating
these disconcerting and oft eerily still waters of "just being".
In one of my upcoming manifest-our-own-reality videos I plan to touch on the value of incorporating tools like astrology or
numerology in the game plan. For me, these avenues offer a sort of life map helping me to see the nature of the path ahead... the KIND of terrain I might encounter. Actually, when everything's flowing and moving and advancing in a nice straight line, I really don't feel the need to study ANY kinda map too hard. But when there's no clear cut path... when my brain yells, "Go west, young man!" but my gut says, "I dunno... maybe we better go north first,"
...that's when I back up the truck.
So, let's look at my personal horoscope here... I KNEW IT! Says here it's time to back up the truck
and take look at my personal horoscope.
03-21-07 Wide Angle Lens to Start
Having been most recently focused on audio recording and trying to figure out how best to proceed here,
I've about decided there are SO many viable avenues staring me in the face that I may as well just point in a
general direction, shoot, and see what develops. Looking back at a life history in which waaaaay too many hopes and
dreams have spiraled off in directions I was totally ill-prepared to deal with, the throw-it-against-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks
method is not one of my faves anymore. On the other side of the coin, I must admit that being too cocksure of what I've
just GOTTA HAVE has landed me eye-high in a steaming pile of my own... well... "making" as quickly as anything.
The bottom line here is that I'm just not exactly certain of the most advantageous route to take at the moment.
Funny, the need to deal with this little "gray zone" shows up while I'm presently compiling a presentation on how to ensure
we get the actual happiness we're after from seemingly black-and-white methods like "The Secret".
So what IS the magic formula to achieving flowing abundance and deep fulfillment? Well, if I knew an exact formula,
foolproof every single time, I'd probably be writing that book right now instead of blogging. I do believe "The Secret"
is absolutely 100% accurate in its claim that the entire universe is our own personal genie ready to grant our every wish.
Matter of fact, Dan -- the guide I channel -- has reiterated this idea time and time and time again during my channelings.
When we humans in this slowed-down-energy-realm of the physical throw ourselves into the game of manifesting,
it becomes very apparent that there are some further dynamics that must be understood, embraced, and utilized
in order to succeed toward our most desired goals. I've been knocked around just enough and have hit just enough walls
to have finally realized that "openness" and "flexibility" are among the key tools we need in our pouch.
Oh, and deep, babbling brooks of cooling, calming patience.
For me personally, the only thing I'm certain about is that I wish to connect with those of you with a soul urge to
really know what has come from my contact with Dan and what insights channeling has revealed. Aside from receiving a
clear-cut indication that a CD would be helpful, I'm not, however, clear as to the best way to go about my goal for the
maximum collective benefit of all. Therefore, I'm presently asking "all"... literally. One of the key ideas that has come
from channeling Dan is that "all that is" -- that's ALL that is -- is supporting each of us constantly. In other words, we're
supporting each other... RIGHT NOW. This also means we're forming a magnificent and powerful energy base for our
collective use right this instant. This is why my deepest and most sincere request to "all that is" presently is, "What is
the most beneficial next step I can take today to bring these ideas forward?" Right now, it seems patience would be best
as more collective energies and ideas formulate. Hmmmm... well, let's practice that proverbial patience now, shall we?
I'll have more considerations on this topic and others in the weeks to follow.
