Forward:
One thing which has become stronger for me over the past five years is my own patience - both patience with myself - and with others - and with the universe.
And that is saying something - as I am known far and wide as one of the most impatient human beings around.
One thing writing has taught me is that when an idea presents itself to be written about - that almost never indicates that I - as a human being - am ready to write about it.
Most often I must wait long months - and allow myself to be guided by the energy of others - until I know I am ready.
And finally when I am ready the essays write themselves - as if being taken down by dictation.
This has led me to strongly suspect that I - as a human - am not the doer - but the receiver - not the creator - but the one being created.
And I see us all now as the bearers of the torrential river of energy from the universe - the tumbling - and ever changing river - which carves the channels into the tissues of our hearts.
For as the famous anatomist Galen (130-201 AD) once remarked the heart is a vortex.
As it turns out Galen - as a scientist got a few things wrong - as do most scientists - but for his poetic observation that the heart is a vortex - we will thank him.
And it is fair to say that we understand our current understanding of the heart in no small measure to Galen.
It is an enormous privilege and honor to be asked to give the basic science lecture. Please join me on an adventure that I have taken over the past three years. I described this type of voyage to my daughters many years ago as “discovery,” in which you walk down certain common pathways but always see something different on that journey. I will tell you about my concept of how the helix and the heart affect nature, the heart, and the human.
Basic science review: The helix and the heart; Gerald D. Buckberg MD
That we as human beings have come - in the fullness of time - to see the heart as such a multifarious and marvelous organ is part of the ever changing river of consciousness that we are a part of.
This ever changing river of energy of which we are a part is the subject of this essay.
A TRAGIC MOMENT IN TIME - THE WATERSHED MOMENT
We stand now in a watershed moment as the river of consciousness which is us as human beings begins to divide.
One side of this watershed flows toward compassion and toward peacefulness - and toward an expansion of our spiritual consciousness.
The other side of the watershed flows toward hatred and anger and violence - towards war - and reflects the freedom we are fully given as human beings - to either create the world or to destroy it.
These unalienable rights - to make the world in our creator’s image or to choose instead to be these beautiful - but fallen- angels.
Today I dedicate myself to helping us all - myself, my family, my community and all of us as humans - to survive and even benefit from this great parting of the waters.
All of the evidence of the wave of demonic energy threatening to drown us all will be increasingly hard to take - but is readily available to those who wish to know the salacious details.
This material will very likely sell lots of mainstream and alternative media.
Sadly I must admit I predicted this inevitable breakdown in the mainstream narrative years ago - and the concomitant breakdown in our demonic and corrupt and criminally negligent society.
Fortunately - as a writer and human being - I am supported by a few stellar human beings - both personally and professionally.
One of the very most stellar things about times like this is the manner in which they separate the true, authentic and spiritually beautiful humans from their less fortunate counterparts.
It seems that this is a cosmic spiritual lesson we are all meant to learn - and despite the pain - I am grateful to be present for this.
Those of you who have been reading here for awhile are all to aware of what I have shared from the outset - that we would have been unhinged to have chosen these years - but regardless we have been chosen by these times to be here together.
I have always known these totalitarian freak humans would self destruct of their own seeds of destruction - and now that this is underway - I see little to be gained from wallowing around in this demonic orgy of spiritual decay.
What those of us who remain must do now - is clear - but no less difficult for being so clear.
In order to set forth on a meaningful journey we must have some sort of a mental map - even a rough one of such an undertaking.
I am convinced we stand at the outset of a remarkable journey - one which is changing us as human beings in ways we cannot possibly - as yet - fully understand.
We as beings are processes -journeys - and not static entities.
In no sense are we - as has been described by the unwise - “meat robots”.
As we take the first steps in this new journey we feel a bit unsure and unready - as it is the journey itself which brings the confidence and assurance and self respect we need to complete it.
To me this journey we are taking is a journey into the unknown - long prophesied - and like no other in human history.
In my family history - and in our human history - are tales of great explorers and of great politicians and of great military leaders - and of great mathematicians and scientists.
And tales of great religious and spiritual and literary geniuses.
But most of all - for me anyway - are the as yet untold tales - those of the great unsung heroes and heroines who never made the history books.
Being those who were responsible - all the while - for the real courage and love and sacrifices - and who did the fire building and cooking and water gathering - which made the rest possible.
But this journey of which we are now a part is the one that really counts - after all of the false starts and disappointments and failures of the past - this is what we are here for.
It is now - after experimenting with all of the possibilities for how we might be human - that we see precisely and clearly what these unalienable rights as conferred by our creator - actually mean.
What these unalienable rights mean - as they are instilled by the creator at the moment when the tiny vortex of cells which is our heart begins beating - deep within the hallowed flesh of our mothers - is this.
These rights - so righteously and freely and compassionately given by our creator - are meant to be celebrated - from the moment we are conceived - and throughout our lives - with others - and alone.
For we are the universe made flesh - the vibrating, pulsing, shimmering energy - that which resonates and shivers and shakes to the heart’s rhythm from the first moment when the light enters us -and we become life.
As humans we are some miraculous entity of both being and nonbeing - the alpha and the omega - created of both living flesh - and of non living minerals forged into being in the fiery furnaces of stars.
And this journey - the journey which has revolved back around - so we stand once more at the threshold - is the reason we are here in the first place.
As is right - the journey will not become actual until it is complete - and has come full circle.
This Great Journey of Consciousness which is unfolding now at our feet.
But as is also right - our purpose is instilled at the beginning - as if the creator places a great tool above the hearth - which by the laws of the cosmos - must be employed before the tale is finished.
The universe appears to have taken sides - and our creator to possess the final word.
The earth - and we humans on it - are under new management - and sitting on the Board of Directors are our guardian angels and the creator.
The heart is a vortex - and we - the resonating - ever changing - flowing of energy which is the river which creates the vortex.
The earth, the universe, all life - and we - of the river - flowing through the beating vortex of a heart - all beating in time to the great rhythmic intensity - the compassionate heart of - our created creation.
The great chain of being - all resonating to the same frequency - the frequency of compassion.
Compassion made flesh - it is a chain by now.
We as humans are now set free to be the resonating shamanic universal consciousness that we in fact happen to be.
YOU GOT THIS - STAR SEEDS - SET YOURSELF FREE TO SHINE
As always - I choose to take my cues from those who actually have something of substance to offer - and may our creator be my witness as we begin this new - most welcome - journey - of the heart.
Be all we can be - and stand in the awareness - that we all are indeed - the one’s we have been awaiting.
“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
—T.S. Eliot, from “Little Gidding,” Four Quartets (Gardners Books; Main edition, April 30, 2001) Originally published 1943.”
Thank you for restacking!
points for giving Galen his rightful respect. Leonardo DiVinci also, made a giant model of the heart, running water and seeds through it. It is a vortex.
