All consciousness is a mirror that reflects into the infinite with neither end nor beginning. This life does not give to death, it gives to life again, mirroring the birth that occurred of birth into this physical plane. Enlightenment is tracing the light back to the projector where you move beyond the constructs of your individual body into the infinite body of the Universe.
Not only do you have a life pulse, but also a frequency that draws and attracts that which serves the growth of your soul. By further understanding this vibration you are able to tune in with the Dharma, or life purpose, that you were created for in this plane of existence.
As you understand the reflections and space between the elements, you begin to understand the overall constructs of all consciousness.

Throw in the archetypes that are not your Satnam (true self) from 2016 and rise from the ashes for 2017 with new archetypes that serve your better purpose.
• What roles in 2016 no longer serve your greatest purpose in 2017? •
What are you going to do differently to have the courage to lead the
life true to yourself and not others expecatations in 2017? • How are you going to answer the question in action, "What am I?"
The ticket bought, the story taut, we are the storytellers sought upon infinite chapters teachings taught the sum of the lot: travelers, transverses, explorers, discovers and actors with action to be acted upon sung each songs chord affording a representation of that fractal within our individual, collective divine origination.
Chapter 1: Everyone
Everyone has a story to tell, a quota to fill for the purpose of understanding the complex universe.
Many consume the flesh and it's journey to feel right is the seeking of their inner plight according to the tinglings of a tongue, the smells of a space, the waver of the flesh, the sight of the seen, the words that are heard.
Some afford more to the intellectual mind, designed by the logical learnings, turnings of that which is quantifiable, measurable to be exact. Theirs is a laboratory of hypothetical compounds measured to be verified, quantified through reason and recordable rhyme.
Others counter react a react of that which is not known, but felt. Split upon the stirrings of a song that vibrates deep within, a place without beginning or end. They guide their self by the throws of an emotion caught into an ocean of the unseen rising, lowering by the stirrings of the heart.
All stories are rightly wrong. For they are stories and stories, even felt upon the flesh, verifiable upon the logic and swept up in the emotion are still just that, stories.
Chapter 2: You What matters more as these chapters progress from one to the next is not so much the story of these three factors but the take away that resonates because of these three factors - the body, the heart and the mind. The moral lesson that is learned when mistakes become lessons, lessons become being and being expand beyond so forth and so forth; replicating for the infinite reaches of a universe to simply be, another story with a moral lesson, a point... That point being that we are, rather, We are Divine.
In regards to that Divinity, I have a story to tell You. It has all the elements of a story: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. It has characters that may or may not resonate according to the archetypes that You have sought in Your own living of life. Most important, as mentioned, this is not this story at all - It's that lesson that is learned.
Let's learn together. Before You were born, You were. A being spoken of in a language that was the unspoken and part of a Divine order that was, is and always will be.
In this dimension, time knew no time. There was no past, nor future only the presence of being. All was well.
Then a question arose. It started as a trickle, tickling the inner of the deepest parts of the self: "What Am I?" In hushed tones it roamed all that were teasing it out so it started as a whimper, rose to a roar and ended in a cry.
You were born.
When You were born it wasn't the beginning nor an end, it simply was a progression of always what was and will be Divinity that continues to multiply itself akin to a Mandelbrot Fractal - formulas with neither beginning nor end which loop uninterrupted forevermore. As part of that Divine Fractal formula that holds the all the elements of Sacred Geometry, Fibonacci Numbers, the Solfeggio Scale and the Sonder Scale; You are part of a formula that is written in all and continues to be written; being understand and uncovered in the nature of Our nature, individually and collectively.
That nature and all this Divineship being held together primarily by 5 elements that form all being: earth, water, air, fire and æther. These elements, never destroyed, simply forming into new elements an infinite cycle - These born of You and all living life.
Yet, here You are in what appears to be in constraints that often feel less than Divine: Yesterday affects today's today and presses forward tomorrows tomorrow - finding that with each passing day since birth Your body one step closer to it's exit. How are You to find Divinity born into such a temporal condition?
As We are caught in Our bodies at birth there is a tendency in the cultures We share to confine Our hopes, dreams, nightmares, pains, thoughts and all this is to this lone finite body. However, as we learn to reframe this story becoming the story tellers this dynamic substantially changes.
As the authors of Our past, the narrators of Our present and the projectors of Our future We have the ability to make that which is finite become infinite.
What is the story that You are telling Yourself about Your past, present and future? What is the archetype that You have adopted?
Do You see Yourself freeing others from the traps of the pains of suffering relieving those in need? Are You the Hero?
Do You see Yourself trapped and working out ways to trap others so that they may suffer as You do? Are You the Villain?
Or perhaps, You, like the others play multiple roles with multiple facets learning from Your multi-dimensional self?
In this story that You tell: Are You wearing Your own roles or one that was given to You?
Chapter 3: Story
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. ~ William Shakespeare - All the world’s a stage
On the day that You were born into this world You were loved, adored, appreciated and welcomed as miracle that was realized as part of a prophecy towards enlightenment. On this day that you were given life You knew deep within that you had a Divine purpose. This Divine purpose and the reason for your being would be revealed a little more each year with a rebirth happening on the 7th year. For every trial You were given from ages zero to seven, You were reassured, welcomed, warmed, that this was part of the Divine purpose of all Your Divine Self - a reassurance that came largely from within, a Divine source of unspoken. At the age of five You were taught one of the greatest lessons, the Christ Consciousness: That Your body is not separate and the inside energy is directly shared with the pains, sorrows, joys, pleasures of all living life that surrounds You. Your education being very self instructed. Those around You giving You the tools and You knowing the best way to use these tools. You were told that Your history was Sacred and that You were perfect, nothing need be changed. You lived a long and trying life that changed the very nature of all life itself. Idealistic? Quite. The power to overcome with such a birth story? Profound. Do We try to live this story? Yes, many do. Whose story is this? This is Jesus Christ's story.
Now, suppose instead of trying to live this story word for word and coming up short, You instead, take from it the morals and values of the story and apply them to Your own story, realizing is the moral value, the Divinity that matters behind the story.
Another Story. You were born into a dysfunctional family. You were told unkind things that were not true about the nature of yourself. You were given encouragement rarely and had to learn to fend for yourself. Your parents were pushing forward generations of abuse that they, in turn, pushed upon you. The education you received was the same education as everyone else in a very formulated, sterile environment. When you did wrong you were told you were less than perfect. When you hurt others you were reminded of that imperfection through reprimand. Your childhood was a living nightmare that held no joy.
Then you repeated this nightmares theme every seven years until at the age of 21 you woke up, looked in the mirror and wondered who in the hell you were and if there was any heaven left in this world. Now, these two extremes are actually different forms of authorship Let's visit this story for a third time using the disempowered and empowered stories together.
You were born. You were born into a dysfunctional family and learned to function little by little by drawing from the larger family of humanity. You were told unkind things that were not true about the nature of yourself and decided not to believe them finding sources that were true to Your Divine nature. You were given encouragement rarely and had to learn to fend for yourself. In doing so you learned to become a survivor and help others survive, too, to find their greatest purpose. Your parents were pushing forward generations of abuse that they, in turn, pushed upon you. You decided to not continue this to the next generation and made a conscious effort to root up all the pain, suffering and disparity that had been buried for years. The education you received was the same education as everyone else in a very formulated, sterile environment. Most of Your learning was done in living life outside the classroom. In the classroom, You challenged established institutions ideas that no longer taught self discovery and accountability. When you did wrong you were told you were less than perfect. You didn't believe it. You instead believed that every mistake was a lesson to be learned upon and in that realized a new ideal of perfection: learning. When you hurt others you were reminded of that imperfection through reprimand. You didn't take it these reprimands personally, realizing that everyone has needs and they were projecting an unmet need upon you. Your childhood was a living nightmare that held no joy, so You brought the joy to it by rewriting the past as the author of Your life bringing meaning to pain that in turn lets go of suffering.
Life is complex and the formulas for life that have been given here are just stories - it's what you take from these stories that matter. What have you learned in your story? What are you learning in your story? What are you learning in our story? What are we learning in our story?
One of the biggest struggles with discovering a story is this idea that a single formula, an E=MC2 of your story will solve all the problems associated with the struggles of life. The best recover relies on not a single plan, but multiple plans that work towards complimenting each other acting as a quantitative approach, with each aspect holding a small piece of the quality, instead of single source holding the entire burden.
There is no magic pill, there is no single therapy, there is no single spiritual practice, there is no single solution - all stories are multi-faceted filled with many chapters. If there was anything close to a fix all solution, just as E=MC2 has done, it simply opened the possibilities, not restrained recovery to single ideology or formula.
Little by little we progress in this story with a wide array of tools, some known, others acting as the supporting cast. All acting towards the understanding of the Divine within. The play goes on, the actors take stage and a new chapter is given showing that the end, really is just the beginning. The chapters infinite, the adventure definite and the spaces in-between there and now giving definition to your story, my story, our story.
Learning lessons through the story of yourself and others by identifying the core values taken from the stories in the past, the present and the future.
We have ventured down the Rabbit Hole, into the womb of Mother Earth's Nature, into the Dark Unknown and into the Tunnel of Light to discover the Sacred Masculine within.
These corridors have become unappreciated, worn, tired with time holding the adventures of so many Masculine natures that have gone on before to explore, once again a process and procession to meet the end.
Now, Our seeds planted, the times granted, We are seeing the Rabbit Holes, Mothers Earth's Nature, the Dark Unknown and the the Tunnels of Light giving birth to the Sacred Feminine that for all these infinite eons held that Sacred Masculine be born into the world.
Yang, meet Yin. She gave birth to You all these years and without Her, the adventures would have never been.
It's time to go within Ourselves, the womb of ourselves and find Her, anew.
Then when, Her story has been revealed, perhaps it won't be so much this, that, a counter react from patriarchal orders to matriarchal orders; rather a unification of the adventuring bodies into one to create a third order - a egalitarian condition that creates the condition of harmony needed to discover Our Divine nature beyond the duality we have supposed during the Pisces Age, giving birth to the Aquarian Age, where there is neither, nor and we simply explore.
But, I get ahead of myself, an eon or two.
First the Sacred Feminine, the place to which We have held all these adventures throughout the years, regain her purpose, Her place before we are able to partake in the fruits of Her labor.
Then, when We honor Her and Him, We can begin to move forward, upward, outward to be able to see the synchronicity of the Divinity harmonizing beyond the constructs of the dual nature.
For the same energies that bring Fear give Love and to distinguish one for another in the passions of being is an attempt at separating the the shadows from the light when it was the same source that brought them to realization creating both the light and the dark.
Perhaps, it wasn't the Patriarch nor the Matriarch first?
Rather, the Egalitarian, one in the other, the other in the one holding all the forces of the light, the dark and all the gray spaces in between in harmony in the WuJi, or the center of the Yin-Yang where there is nothing, everything and all is one.
Not one greater than another, simply all great in creating, becoming being, Divine.
What does this look like in every day to day, beyond theories?
Imagine a world where individuals are judged not by their gender, nor by their skin, nor the cultural implications, but, rather, by the amount of effort they have placed into creating their Divine Self.
That the competitions of culture wouldn't be so much who is the strongest, quickest, fastest, smartest, but rather, be who has truly learned themselves within, the constructs of aligning their body, hearts and minds into one.
Imagine a time when it wasn't about this or that, counter and react, but simply a process of allowing those who have done wrong to make the adjustments by placing them not in confinement as we would savage animals, but rather, a place where they can let go of a past more freely to embrace the present for the future.
Where we don't use brute force to again kill a peace of ourselves to empower the ego constructs and instead dismantle the egos of the Hitlers, Ze Dongs, Pinochets, Leopolds and Stalins before they can be supported and created for the annihilation of ourselves.
Where peace is not just for the hippies, the feminine, but a core value taken by every single masculine person within with honor, in realization that without peace and with our progress of atomic war, we are doomed to destroy all that was, is and shall be.
It starts by honoring the Sacred Feminine and giving reigns to the Sacred Masculine.
By seeing that the far left and far right of our communities are just archetypes of the same matter, just led by different voices making choices that imbalance us all.
There is no us and them. There is only us.
We create us by creating harmony and seeing all sides of the equation.
Imagine....
Some may call me a dreamer, but I know I am not the only one.
I'm more about meeting people where they are at in the space in-between us, rather than bringing them to where I am. For who am I to believe my belief system as better or greater than another, claiming the Spiritual Homes that I find refuge in are more suited than the ones that are currently held by others?
By the fruits, all these homes shall be made known - and in that I know many people simply would not fare well in the constructs of my own belief system. Some apples are just too hard to swallow, even if it is your paradise, it could be another version of hell to someone else.
So as Christian, I am not good at the, "Hello, I am Zed this is my belief system and if you don't believe you will burn in hell."
Because, the way it's presented isn't Christian at all - it's actually quite the opposite.
Furthermore, I believe people do this because somehow in the afterlife they believe they will get some glory beyond glories for all the people they told they were going to hell making up stories to suite their condemnation, for whatever faith they feel a need to export onto the masses.
It doesn't work for me and it's not working for Christianity as a whole.
Rather than the brimstone, fire and bullsh!t dialogue, I am good at this dialogue, "Hello, hell I know you all to well. I see you in the faces of those that walk this earth. If at birth they were told what they worth than maybe it would be heaven on earth. May I be the change, the chance, to make it so and even begin with the prayer of St. Francis."
"Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."
-Prayer of Saint Francis
(St. Francis Prayer begins @ 3:40)
If someones life is hell on earth, how do they hope to find hope in a distant heaven?
"If you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights." - Bob Marley
Many of my teachings and understandings of the constructs of my spirituality originate in the Latter-day Saint belief system with an emphasis on the Ladder because I have found some of the greatest teachings in other places.
I was born into the faith, and like many others born into a faith retained much of the roots, moral teachings no matter how far or different courses I went - they just took different forms.
Now coming back into it on my own terms the importance of finding a spiritual home, a place to belong has become paramount in not only my life, but valuing the lives of others around me.
Because the only way, the absolute only way, we will be able to make it in this world is if we start to see value in the beliefs of those around us helping them find their own spiritual home; which may or may not be our own spiritual home.
Here is my own attempt to bridge that divide living in a community that struggles to find reach for other faiths beyond the LDS faith:
It's not an all encompassing solution by any stretch of the mind, but an attempt at least to emphasize an Article of Faith that is often lost in the lives of many of the LDS Faith.
I hope you all find your spiritual homes - whatever faith that might be.
