Our Jewish, Christian, Muslim forefathers structured TIME by prayer,
not silent prayer, but voiced prayer,
not sitting still, but bending their bodies here and there, now and then.

I am desiring and dreaming, I am longing and yearning,
that you, who will be attracted to this page,
will be enthusiastic about this application of structuring TIME by SOUND.

When the alarm alerts me,
I intend to interrupt every activity or interaction or rest.
I take my phone, click "exit" and set the next alarm hour.
With some routine this takes about 20 seconds of concentration.
This concentration on a technical procedure helps me to detach.

Then I start sounding, singing, or at least sighing and breathing.
This morning I saw a Jew waiting for the bus and praying aloud,
but I am still ashamed to raise my voice in someone's presence.
I breathe with intent, I sigh a sound, I hum with my lips closed,
and I intend to move my shame, until I'll lead the world in sound.

When I feel safe, not shame, alone or with friends who join in,
I not only sound, I also move,
I spin and whirl, I jump and jolt, I skip and dance,
all the while listening intently to my body
and moving every limb and every joint as they want to move.

After a time of wild sounding
I focus.
I focus on what I want.
I focus on what I want to accomplish in my present life.
And I do so by voicing a single word:
"y e s h !"
y - e - e - e - sh !
It's a biblical word, which means "there is"
["yesh elohim"=there is a God, "yesh li imma"= there is a mother to me, i.e. I have a mother"]
In recent years the word - said as an outcry of joy - became slang:
"Y E S H !!!"
i.e. I got what I wanted.
Yelling YESH!!! all over the Desert and the Dead Sea makes me feel,
that I shall surely fulfill my vision and my mission.

Even a minute of sounding alone renews my creativity, my love.
What power to make the World whole would flow forth like a spring,
if I could sound together - physically or virtually - with ten people,
for ten minutes
five times a day,
or even only once!

Are you ready?

'Sound-Massage"... Christian Morgenstern, 1871-1914 Die Luft Die Luft war einst dem Sterben nah. "Hilf mir, mein himmlischer Papa", so rief sie mit sehr trübem Blick, "ich werde dumm, ich werde dick; du weißt ja sonst für alles Rat - schick mich auf Reisen, in ein Bad, auch saure Milch wird gern empfohlen; wenn nicht - laß ich den Teufel holen!" Der Herr, sich scheuend vor Blamage, erfand für sie die - Tonmassage. Es gibt seitdem die Welt, die - schreit. Wobei die Luft famos gedeiht. The Air [my translation in Febr. 2011] The air was once close to dying. "Help my, my heavenly Daddy", she called with dreary eyes, "I'm getting dumb, I'm getting fat, you use to have advice for that- send me on a-traveling, send me to a Spa, also sour milk is often recommended; if not - I'll let them fetch the devil!" The Lord, afraid to face discrace, invented for it the - sound-massage. Since then there is the world, that -yells, with which the air does prosper well..

The Five Sound Appointments
during the Dreamer Training

All the religions established "appointments"
to give people a chance to connect to God = to themselves,
three or five or even nine times a day.
Instead of bells or a Muazzeen
I have a mobile phone and in it an alarm clock.

The Elements of the "Mo'ed"
which I suggest at this stage, are five:

Friedrich v. Gentz ueber Humboldt:
Diese Kraft in sich und in andern immer aufs hoechste zu befoerdern,
und ihr reines und freies Spiel in jedem menschlichen Wesen hervorzulocken,
und zu fixieren,
das ist ihm der letzte Zweck alles Daseins,
und sein kontinuierliches Bestreben,
wovon ihn auch weder Schmerzen, noch Verdruss,
noch Misslingen abschrecken koennen.
Dabei ist er der groesste und vollendetste Gesellschafter, den es geben kann
(naemlich hauptsaechlich im Umgange mit einzelnen.).
Er lebt ewig nur in dem, mit welchem er umgeht.
Er belehrt nimmermehr aus sich selbst,
und wenn er noch soviel zu sagen wuesste,
er berichtigt nur die Ideen des andern.
Er wuerde einen Einwurf, und waere er auch so wichtig,
dass er auf der Stelle dem ganzen Streit ein Ende machte,
um keinen Preis vertragen,
sobald er nicht aus dem Gange,
den der andre genommen hat, hervorwuechse.
Wenn man mit ihm redet, so ist es immer,
als wenn man mit sich selbst redete, nur unendlich leichter.
Man kennt sich selbst allemal besser, wenn man ihn verlaesst.

In recognizing our outer reality
is simply a projection of inner state of being - our vibration -
we are empowered to shift our individual consciousness,
and so we change the world.

Accepting we create our own reality
precipitates responsible co-creation,
....
Self-Love, thus, becomes our First Nature,
and from here we Birth New Reality. 

... the more we care for Ourselves …
the more others will benefit from our presence.

On this day
honor~cherish~bless~nourish yourself in all that you are...
Love is the frequency of appreciation.
It is time to appreciate all that exists in you
especially the aspects that bring you pain and discomfort.

Remember the allowance (application) of LOVE
dissolves all that is harsh, rigid and timid.
Feelings of guilt, shame, anger, vengeance,
stuckness, fear, hopelessness and despair
are all worthy of Love,
for it is this "withholding of love" for the Self (Singular and Universal)
that creates this suffering.

Understand and know that you are Eternally Divine always,
in every moment,
that your human qualities are not anything less than Divine.
Forgive yourself for withholding love from the aspects of yourself
that bring you pain, embarrassment or suffering.
Consciously Love yourself during these times of discomfort
for as you do
they will be easier to absorb and eventually dissipate.

Our mission is not an ideal of spiritual perfection;
it reaches far, far, far, beyond that.
We have not the time to fuss over
good nor bad, enlightened nor unenlightened.
A total TRUST in our own Divine Nature
is calling for the sake of assisting others
to individually know this truth for themselves.
How will we do this if we are caught up in perfectionism?

Love thy self; Love all."

"Abraham" 2000, e-mail quote on January 21, 2012

Contrast helps you to identify desire.
Desire is summoning.
It's always flowing through you.
You have the opportunity of opening
to the harmony of the vibration of your desire
or not.

As the desires are being summoned through you,
and you go with the flow,
you thrive,
but if you use things to be your excuse for not going with the flow,
you are arguing for your limitations.

We want to show you how to go with the flow.
Which means nothing more
than finding vibrational harmony with your own desire,
and letting the Universal Energy
that your desire is summoning to it
flow to it through you.
It is optimum creative experience

- Hey, thanks. - Not a problem.

Anchors aweigh!
So what do you think of my little vessel?
She's what we call "see-worthy." S-E-E. See with your eyes.
I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality.
Voila. And this? This is like my little window to the world,
and every minute, it's a different show.
Now, I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it.
But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along.
You want to keep things on an even keel I guess is what I'm saying.
You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river.
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving.
...
The ride does not require an explanation.
Just occupants. That's where you guys come in.
It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box.
Now, you may get the 8-pack, you may get the 16-pack.
But it's all in what you do with the crayons,
the colors that you're given.
Don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines.
I say color outside the lines. Color right off the page.
...
The reason why I refuse to take existentialism...
as just another French fashion or historical curiosity...
is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century.
I 'm afraid we're losing the real virtues of living life passionately,
the sense of taking responsibility for who you are,
the ability to make something of yourself and feeling good about life.
Existentialism is often discussed as if it's a philosophy of despair.
But I think the truth is just the opposite.
Sartre once interviewed said he never really felt a day of despair in his life.
But one thing that comes out from reading these guys...
is not a sense of anguish about life so much as...
a real kind of exuberance of feeling on top of it.
It's like your life is yours to create.
I've read the post modernists with some interest, even admiration.
But when I read them, I always have this awful nagging feeling...
that something absolutely essential is getting left out.
The more that you talk about a person as a social construction...
or as a confluence of forces... or as fragmented or marginalized,
what you do is you open up a whole new world of excuses.
And when Sartre talks about responsibility,
he's not talking about something abstract.
He's not talking about the kind of self or soul that theologians would argue about.

It's something very concrete. It's you and me talking.
Making decisions. Doing things and taking the consequences.
It might be true that there are six billion people in the world and counting.
Nevertheless, what you do makes a difference.
It makes a difference, first of all, in material terms.
Makes a difference to other people and it sets an example.
In short, I think the message here is...
that we should never simply write ourselves off...
and see ourselves as the victim of various forces.
It's always our decision who we are.
Creation seems to come out of imperfection.
I t seems to come out of a striving and a frustration.
And this is where I think language came from.
I mean, it came from our desire to transcend our isolation...
and have some sort of connection with one another.
And it had to be easy when it was just simple survival.
Like, you know, "water." We came up with a sound for that.
Or, "Saber-toothed tiger right behind you." We came up with a sound for that.
But when it gets really interesting, I think,
is when we use that same system of symbols to communicate...
all the abstract and intangible things that we're experiencing.
What is, like, frustration? Or what is anger or love?
When I say "love,"the sound comes out of my mouth...
and it hits the other person's ear,
travels through this Byzantine conduit in their brain,
you know, through their memories of love or lack of love,
and they register what I'm saying and say yes, they understand.

But how do I know they understand? Because words are inert.
They're just symbols. They're dead, you know?
And so much of our experience is intangible.
So much of what we perceive cannot be expressed. It's unspeakable.
And yet, you know, when we communicate with one another,
and we--we feel that we have connected, and we think that we're understood,
I think we have a feeling of almost spiritual communion.
And that feeling might be transient, but I think it's what we live for.
If we’re looking at the highlights of human development,
you have to look at the evolution of the organism...
and then at the development of its interaction with the environment.
Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of life...
perceived through the hominid...
coming to the evolution of mankind.Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon man.
Now, interestingly, what you’re looking at here are three strings:
biological, anthropological--development of the cities, cultures--
and cultural, which is human expression.

DREAMING AND AWAKENING

Becoming adept at lucid dreaming requires practice with effective techniques and a degree of focused attention difficult to maintain during our busy lives. This program provides an ideal opportunity to nurture lucid dreaming abilities and enhance mindfulness in daily life.

Suitable for all levels of experience, our program will feature group and individual exercises for developing awareness skills and valuable insights into the application of lucidity; ....

Discussion topics include: Learning how to dream more lucidly; inducing, stabilizing, and guiding lucid dreams; dream control: freedom, flexibility, and choice;
brain and mind science of sleep, dreaming, and waking;
lucid dream work:
from nightmares to wholeness;
dream ego, shadow,
and self-integration;
Dreaming, Illusion and Virtual Reality;
physical body, body-image, and OBEs
[out of the body experiences?];
Dreams within dreams, shared dreams,
and false awakenings;
consciousness as a model of self and world:
Dreaming, Death and Transcendence;
Tibetan Dream Yoga;
identity: personal and transpersonal:
Life as a dream quest:
Awakening in your Dreams and in your Life: Inception: science vs. fiction? [see contexts in which this term "inception" appears on healing-K.i.s.s.]

Survey: Do you really never remember the beginning of your dreams?

Seven out of ten lucid dreamers sometimes do.

In a famous scene in the movie INCEPTION, Cobb (the protagonist, played by Leonardo Decaprio) and Ariadne, a dream-designer-in-training, are sitting in a street-cafe arguing about how real dreams can seem while they are happening. Ariadne claims it would be impossible for the mind to convincingly create the myriad textures and details of life.

Here Cobb poses a trick question: "You never remember the beginning of your dreams, do you? You just turn up in the middle of what's going on." To which she weakly assents "I guess". Cobb follows up with a reality check! move: "So how did we end up HERE?" and after a moment of increasingly uncomfortable reflection Ariadne concludes "We're dreaming!"

It may be true that most people most of the time don't remember the beginning of their dreams, but there's an important exception: Wake-initiated lucid dreams (WILDs), in which people fall asleep consciously and are thus fully conscious of the beginning of their (lucid) dreams.

.....
NEW SURVEY: Have you ever had a life-changing Lucid dream?

"Peak experiences", a term coined by psychologist Abraham Maslow, indicate quasi-mystical and mystical experiences typically accompanied by sudden feelings of intense happiness and well-being, and possibly the awareness of "ultimate truth" and the unity of all things. They may or may not be framed as "religious" or "spiritual". When you have a peak experience your world view can be strikingly elevated: the view from the mountaintop. You may be filled with wonder and awe. It is as if you have been given a peek into the Infinite. Life seems correspondingly more meaningful and your outlook is broadened, brightened, and yes, a little more enlightened.

.... If you've had a lucid dream that you could consider a peak experience,...we'd like to hear about it. ...Please help us expand knowledge of dreaming and consciousness ....

Branching possibilities reach new heights,
nascent ideas bud into being.
Clarified visions take form and come to Light,
the body of the Dream unfolds to be seen....
bursting forth to fractal out
and Birth New Reality.

Take note of new pathways, possibilities and
the shifting forms within the Heart-Mind.
See how it has taken root in the Heart-Mind;
grown and diversified into new buds and shoots.

...create a vision board, mind-map or outline
of what is budding and sprouting in thee.
Have fun with this ... Dream BIG.
Allow yourself the freedom to imagine
the wildly abundant possibilities
spiraling into reality.

Use images that inspire;
colors that reflect your passions and desires.
Grab a thesaurus
and describe the beauty of your dreams
in vivid, vibrant expressions of vernacular bliss.
chart out the scintillating scenery of your inner-vision
and watch it come to Life ...

Write before your very eyes!

[Using those tools]....we gain new perspective
on our dreams, visions and intentions.

We are able to tap into our inner genius,
while opening a flow for creativity to blossom
as possibilities to ripen
and new structures are revealed.

We see the morphing form of our dreams,
and surrender ever more deeply to the mystery,
knowing Birthing New Reality
is a journey to be savored, appreciated and cultivated ...
one image, idea, word and thought at a time.

The vision that you glorify in your mind,
the ideal that you enthrone in your heart,
this you will build your life by,
and this you will become.

"MORPHING FORMS"

"Abraham" 2000, e-mail quote on January 24, 2012

Nothing needs to be fixed.
Everything is unfolding perfectly.
So when you stand in your now
accepting that all is well,
then from that vibration,
you become surrounded by more and more evidence
that all is well.
But when you're convinced that things are broken,
that there is pollution, or that things have gone wrong,
or that the government is doing conspiracies...
then what happens is you get caught up in that vibration,
and you begin to manifest that kind of stuff,
and then you say, "See, I told you that things were going wrong."

"Abraham" 1998, e-mail quote on January 25, 2012

but they rarely understand what they are saying.
You are in this focused time/space reality
with goals and objectives that call you
because as you identify a desire
it literally summons life through you.
Life summoning through you is what it's all about,
not the completion of anything.
