Alternate Species of Human Beings

Homo sapiens sapiens is not the only Earth-based species that Monads have used for information and adventure. It is not even the only hominid species we have used. Alternate species of "human beings" walked this planet long before puny little Homo sapiens and his relatives--and I am not talking about Cro-Magnon, australopithecus, or even Neandertal. Remember, the land masses that we call "the seven continents" have gone through several formations during the past 750 million years; the Homo sapiens lineage has only been evolving for about half a million years--around five if you want to count its time on two feet. That leaves room for somewhere between 1500 and 250 land-based experiments, if one were actively interested in the Earth-based playing field.
     The first four-dimensional Earth-based human form that Journeyman Paul used that I, Drew Fisher, have been given awareness of is that of a race among a species of Giants that lived on and around the Andean and Nazcan highlands of what we now call Peru, Bolivia and Chile. This species of Giants had wide ranges of activity that may have led them to many areas of the planet. My recollections happen to come from Peru.
     The giant populations were never dense and did not do much experimentation with living in 'urban centers.' They were a very placid, peaceful, observant race who enjoyed travel. They may, in fact, have been quite comfortable living nomadically. They were also not as densely packed or deeply invested in the weightiness of physical and emotional illusions as some of the physical forms we have used have been. It appears to me that they did not use sex or birth and death for entry and departure--or if they did there was very little preoccupation with the processes. Instead, they merely walked through inter-dimensional doorways, entering and departing from four-dimensional life whenever they determined that it was time.
     Spoken and written language were not of much use to this race as they were able to communicate telepathically sharing and trading full stories--often very visual "snapshots"--with others of their kind--and were very aware and attuned with the consciousness of the Souls who were investing energy into their four-dimensional forms.
     When the experiences and perspectives of the Giants had fully served the Spirit World, the species members simply left the way they came. The only evidence we have of their "footprint" here is through their large monumental rock structures and their extra large "drawings" of celebrated creatures and events that they left on the great flat planes of the Peruvian desert. The pyramid and temple are both examples of their large scale building designs. Both of these forms of artifact pre-date our own species' "civilizations" yet have been largely ignored or downplayed in our own histories. This is probably due to the blow it would cause to our own arrogant belief that Homo sapiens sapiens is the supreme creation of God and that we are the superior and central species in our Universe.
     To be sure, the desire to lay claim to and replicate these massive structures has haunted our own species. Yet the strength and technologies with which the giants built their monuments have never been properly understood much less discovered. Their techniques are, in fact, beyond the capacity of our current species. My understanding is that the Giants were using methods familiar to them, one of which incorporated mental rearrangement of atomic and molecular structures of Earth materials. They were also interested in exploring and experimenting with their own physical capabilities and limitations. These experiences proved very helpful for the Spirit World to determine what further restrictions and limitations they would impose upon further experiments in Earth-based human form. Remember, in order to test Creation's deepest potentialities for use of the Illusion of Separation, we've had to devise forms and structures, rules and restrictions that cause further and deeper impedance of Spiritual energy flow. The deeper the perception of Separation, the deeper the influence of Ignorance and Fear, which then reveal all sorts of challenging distortions and distractions from Spiritual Truth and Reality--which is precisely the kind of test some members of the Spirit World get excited about: "How far can we take this thing, this submersion into mucky, murky, sluggish, confining, Ignorance, away from our True Godness, and still have the capacity to find our way out, to reawaken our awareness and use of our True Spiritual Nature?" The invention of the species of Giants for four-dimensional experience provided a perspective for experiential gain that was merely a few degrees away from Spirit World consciousness. The next level of progression into devolution, into the next degree of perception of Separation from our True Nature (of which the Spirit World itself is also one) is the race that brought us our first abuses and corruption of power, our first "civilized" and urban-dwelling cultures.

     My own personal collection of information with regards to Journeyman Paul's incarnation within the Nazcan giants is limited. I remember the High Andes of what is now called Peru. I remember Lake Titicaca and the Nazcan plains. I remember the temperament of my host bodymind:  peaceful, content, curious and excitable, though lacking any and all deep emotional attachment. He (if I can call him thus as I can recall no sexual instincts or activities) seemed joyfully appreciative of many of the varieties of life forms and forms within Mother Nature. In terms of sociability, I remember very little interaction. Very seldom did I travel, work or live in groups of more than two or three. More often I was perfectly content [and fearless of] solitude or the companionship of one or two "playmates" (for the mentality was constructed more around childlike curiosity and adventure than the anxiety of survival-based concerns). I remember the  ability to move within and through the densest of materials (rock, water, air) was effortless, second-nature. I remember the ability to move things with mental thought was merely a matter of will and intention and was also second-nature. I remember a pervasive feeling as if we were there as explorers, as visitors, as part of an experiment to assess the Earth's value and viability for further life-form experiences.
     There was no fear or anxiety. Love and Joy were calmly ubiquitous due to the daily encounters with Beauty and my own creativity--as I was creative with rock formation and manipulating matter. I also remember a constant conscious awareness of my ever-present and ever-loving Oversoul. The four-dimensional giant human body was like a remote viewing camera or deep-sea diving bell that served our species (the Spirit Community) as an exploration tool. This is what makes me believe that the race of giants was truly one of Our introductory efforts or experiments with investiture in interactive sentient four-dimensional individualized transportation. The Nazcan "society" was more like a team of scientists sent to observe and perform experiments--all with the interest of possibility and potential for future use. How the physical forms that the giants used were created I am unsure. It doesn't matter. They were here. They manipulated some terrain and other things just to see what they could do. They kept a constant telepathic link to their "home base" in the Spirit World. They were neither warring nor malicious. They were reconnaissance scouts.

The next species of Earth-based humans that I have been given memory of is one that was more like our own in both appearance and in physical rules and limitations. If The Mage represents an actual four-dimensional incarnate vessel for Journeyman Paul, I would place his time just before or at the beginning of the Earth-based human species of 'emotional telepaths'--that is, the four-dimension-based humanoid species that were still overwhelmingly mental in consciousness but were beginning to experiment with the deeper realms of emotional sensitivity. As each species "appears" and then evolves, our Spirit World's anatomical architects work to improve the four-dimensional creatures' receptivity and viability for the presence and conduction of Spiritual Will. Some architects work to perfect Spiritual Presence within the four-dimensional vehicles at our disposal. Others, like The Mage, work to maintain some degree of Spiritual access and adaptability within the most densely constructed vehicles We've devised. Yes, of course there is an element of co-creation of each species we use as vehicles for our experience and entertainment--just as there is an element of co-creation in every moment of choice, in every decision, both conscious and unconscious, that we humans think we are making here in these 21st Century human bodies. At the same time, the infinite number of inputs coming from other forces of consciousness (e.g. cosmology, astrology, gravity, weather, biology, chemistry, physics, Mother Nature, human individuality and diversity, etc., etc.) also play their role in "directing" flow and evolution.
     I have memories--more like flashes of recognition--of life in a civilization in which emotions were present but, due to the continued use of telepathic communication, the results of emotional content were less volatile--less prone to periods of suppression and outburst. Because one's thoughts and feelings were accessible to others through mental telepathy, raw emotions had little time to build, fester and putrefy. Still, this was a culture in which the continued use of the powers of telekinesis and telepathy were at ultimately unsuccessful odds with the added energy of emotion.
      I have strong "memories" of lifetimes in an Earth-based human race--or set of human races--that produced concentrated beds of "civilization" in a time prior to our own. One of these "civilizations" has come to be known as "Atlantis." Another we have lumped together within a continuous timeline of "Egyptian""dynasties." Rendered more accurately, these both were examples of societies in which populations of Homo sapiens sapiens were ruled over by small remnants of a "more advanced" race (or species). The "master races" eventually died out (or left) which left the emotion-laden Homo sapiens sapiens alone with his limited knowledge and power. This scenario would explain the high cultural achievements of ancient civilizations on all of the continents that was then mysteriously followed by sudden and mysterious disappearance of technological knowhow and periods of relative subsistence civilization.
     My belief is these "master races" were all samples of the same race or species--and that there were probably other groups, cultures or "nationalities" (from which I have not yet pulled memory, or, more correctly, to which Journeyman Paul has not yet found need for me to have access). The Egyptian, Pre-Colombian, Indian and Atlantean cultures both possessed emotional depth and breadth of a wider range than that of the species of either the Giant era or that of The Mage. My guess is that the farther forward we travel on the timeline of Earth-based human species the further we will find species that are experiments in further devolution from Spiritual awareness, wisdom, and power. By design and desire our Spiritual Species has willed the search, development, and/or experimentation with
the species that are more susceptible to the clouding, disorienting effects of the Illusions of Duality and to the corruption of Ignorance, Fear, and Insecurity.
     My "memories" and insights into Atlantean culture help me understand that, like Egypt (and Central and South America), there existed a ruling class with somewhat different or more enhanced and advanced skills than the common folk. While speech and art were fully practiced, telepathic communication was still available to these people. Among the "high class," telekinesis was not uncommon. The scientists and engineers of the time had at their disposal knowledge of the use of crystals for powers that we have lost. Herbal nutriceuticals and medicinals were their dominant form of health care. Also, it is my belief that "Atlantean"-like life and culture was not restricted to just one city, city-state, island, or "lost continent." I believe that the above-described human species present at this time occupied a fairly large portion of the planet--and were present on multiple "continents." For reasons not clear to me, it is the species of what made up the ruling classes that for some reason disappeared/ceased to exist. Perhaps they were weakened by intermarrying with the other species but more likely they were weakened by genetic fragility of marrying only within their own small population.
    I believe that the highly creative, highly 'evolved' species that existed in the Andes Mountains and coastal areas of what is now Peru is represented by the mysterious elongated skulls found near Paracas, Peru. The elongated skull phenomon seems quite obvious in Egyptian Pharoaic art and artifacts as well as those in Central America (what we call "Mayan" culture). Interestingly, all three of these cultures also possessed the knowhow and skill to build massive, millennia-lasting pyramids. It is my belief that these cultures all possessed a genetically differentiated high or aristocratic class that possessed knowledge, abilities and skills (somehow 'lost' to successive generations) that allowed them the ability to construct the megalithic monuments that remain to this day. The scientific knowledge that enabled 'simple' and efficient construction of these monuments have been lost due to the attitudes of secrecy and superiority (as well as due to the unusual skills--like telekinesis--that this caste possessed).
     Again, if the agenda motivation of the Spirit World was to continue this process of devolution in order to deepen the experience and effects of the illusions--especially of the Illusion of Separation--then all of the lost knowledge and capacity of previous species and generations makes perfect sense. Our deeper immersion into the quagmire of physical and emotional information--illusory as it all is--has clouded or distracted our minds and Spirits from being able to access "powers" that once were commonplace--that are commonplace (are the rule, the norm) in the Spirit World (where imagination is the creative force of the instant). Our constant 'struggles' with the barrage of emotional and physical sensory information bombarding us all day long keep us too busy to tap into the tremendous potential that our human vehicles have potential to handle. No wonder we're told we use only about 5% of our potential brain power!
    So, you can see the tremendous challenges current human life present we Spirit Beings. And yet, the learning and growing potential is equally tremendous.
    Again, back to the demise of the genetic pool of those 'special' species members who served as the creative minds and ruling classes of those societies all over the planet. Besides not being able to figure out how to perpetuate their particular gene pool, the Atlantean high caste may have recognized that the time was nigh for them to withdraw in order to let the next species have their time. How Tolkeinish! We know that the races of giants before them had simply withdrawn when they felt that their experiment had been completed. Perhaps the elvish Atlanteans did the same. And then their successors--weaker of mind and more susceptible to emotional inputs--mishandled the information and technologies left to them--or were simply un-able to replicate them due to their inferior mental capabilities--which led to a disaster of catastrophic proportions (or perhaps it was Mother Nature) which then set back those cultures into more primitive, more emotion-based survival modes of mentality.
     The lessons to be gleaned from these "advanced civilizations" revolve around that theme of hubris and nemesis that we continue to struggle with to this day--the consequences that come out of a perspective of anthropocentricity. Human arrogance in direct opposition to Natural Law.

Welcome home, Paul!

During my second Life-Between Life (LBL) session I was pleased to find that Journeyman Paul had finally been able to shed the Earth-derived emotional baggage that he had attached himself to over several lifetimes. During that session, Paul soared high and fast in the cosmic skies in order to experience the cleansing effect of the cosmic winds. It was quick--not unlike the effect of going through a car wash, only up in the air--just enough time feel the liberating freedom of letting go, of remembering his spiritual state of being. Only then was he able to become reunited with the beloved souls with whom he'd worked on Earth.
     What was so surprising--and overwhelming emotionally--was the enormous number of spirits gathered together to welcome him home, the stadium-like reception of cheering that greeted him as he landed on the rocky surface of the world of his imagination. 89 people raucously cheering him and him alone as he stood there, alone, returning in full presence to the Spirit World. Gone were the doubts and feelings of inadequacy and shame. Gone were the guilt and remorse he had carried for having "failed to accomplish his goals." Finished was his sulking retreat, his processing and healing, his self-pitying and misguided groping, his self-imposed isolation. Finally he had found the way back to his True Essence and had learned acceptance. Finally he was able to move forward, back into the world of the "living."
     In my previous LBL session I had worked long and hard to come into the presence of my Soul Family but my recriminations and feelings of unworthiness had made me recoil and hold back, staying only within the "safe" company of my most beloved loving Spirit companions. This self-destructive attitude also prohibited me from meeting with my Spirit Council. I was not ready, they had said. "Next time." And they were right. I had to complete my 'desert island' time, had to figure out for myself that all of the emotional baggage to which I had become so attached was self-inflicted, illusory, and not really part of Me at all. Once I was able to realize this, I was ready to leave my self-imposed prison and return to 'active duty.'
     This time I was able to move forward to meet with my Council of Elders--and then to reacquaint myself with the main members of my Companion Group. Journeyman Paul had served his self-imposed penance, had come to the realization that his True Nature did not need to carry around the weighty emotional baggage gathered from human lifetimes; he had come to the liberating remembrance of his divine lightness.

In this, my second year of podcasts, I hope to recreate for you, the reader, some of the path Journeyman Paul has travelled while using the four-dimensional Earth School. More importantly, in tracing this path I hope to help you understand the kind of effects Paul's choices and experiences have had on both assisting and side-tracking him on his path of Spiritual evolution. For instance:  What led him to choose monasteries and cultural experiences all over the world? What led him to pursue isolating behaviors instead of connecting ones? And, most importantly, how did these choices serve him? How did he come to decide to change and how did he eventually overcome the behaviors to which he decided to attach negative aspersions?
     Some the answers to these and other questions will be recognizable from experiences that Journeyman Paul has had as me, Drew Fisher. You will see how some answers were revealed in the past- and inter-life experiences that I have become privy to. However, you will also see how some of the events and experiences that I, Drew Fisher, have had--some of the people I've met and some of the things I have created--seem to have helped the process. Some of the experiences that Drew Fisher has had have empowered the recovery of flow of Spirit through consciousness. Spirit (Paul) has directed me to overcome Ego/Personality, to choose increased flow of Information, Wisdom, and Power.
     I have little doubt that Paul's adventures as Drew Fisher have played an important role in his re-awakening to his Divine Essence. My continued choices to cast off the insidious lure and oppressive weight of materialism, consumerism, addiction, fear-based thinking--to reveal and cast aside the weighty effects of buying into the Illusions of Duality, to instead choose to learn how to use the Illusions instead of letting them use me, has allowed Paul to rise above the illusion of the limitations of perceived four-dimensionality.
     In order to reflect the sources of some of Journeyman Paul's most significant learning experiences you will discover that I have divided the 52 podcasts of this year into three basic categories. The first section will explore the "past-lives." Though I am no longer certain of the way in which the Spirit World uses human and Earth time lines, I have decided to order these past lives according to a chronological order that matches up with historical timelines with which we Earth humans are most familiar. Then I will delve into those people, events and creative acts from the Drew Fisher experience that have revealed themselves to be most significant to the awakening, stimulation, and realization of Journeyman Paul's presence and mission in the Drew Fisher bodymind. And lastly I plan to explore many of the stories and experiences from other people's lives or art that have contributed to my own expanding awareness and understanding of the "meaning of Life." Some of these figures and artistic contributions will be from our own time, others will come from other periods of history and imagination.
     The occasion of Journeyman Paul's return "home" to his Soul Family was occasioned by the fact that Paul himself was ready to be loved, he had finally decided to cast off his penalty of guilt and remorse, to finish his self-imposed banishment, to return to an environment in which he was loved--to be able to accept and let in love. What had really happened, in its truest essence, was that he had re-discovered love, forgiveness and acceptance for himself. He had re-membered and accepted his True Nature. With this step he was able to walk into the warmth and all-embracing unconditional Love of his Spirit Community--where he was, as you know, treated to a roar of enthusiastic welcome. With the affirmation of this greeting--which was, no doubt, a real confidence booster--he was then able to move into the presence of the wisdom and Love of his Council of Wise Elders. With these very important steps Paul was able to announce that he was ready to fully return to the real and hard work of his Spiritual Journey. The many lives and experiments in which he made choices to avoid allowing opportunities for full realization of Spiritual Joy, Truth, Beauty, and Love, because of his attachment to guilt, remorse and low self-worth were done. He is now ready to step up into forms and body minds that will allow the Power of Spiritual energy flow. Expressions of wisdom, creativity and Love will affect others in ways that will probably catapult him into positions of respect and perhaps even leadership. Done are the lives of hiding, trying to remain invisible, wallowing in low self-esteem.
     The question this second year of blog posts/podcasts will attempt to answer is Why did Paul 'descend' into these patterns of self-deprecating self-imposed isolation? In order to answer this question I see that using the past lives that Paul has enabled me, Drew Fisher, to have access to will enable you, the listener/reader, to retrace some of the events that contributed to Journeyman Paul's tailspin and dive into the murky trappings of the tar pits of human emotion. If you are ready I will begin with a slight aside.

Paul has used the bodymind of an Earth-based figure that I've come to know as "The Mage." I have been conscious of the existence of The Mage for over 15 years. At first I thought that he was an inter-dimensional entity with extraordinary healing powers as he was first revealed to me within the context of my work as a massage therapist. Accessing The Mage consciousness, or, more like, The Mage's bodymind, I was able to see and work with energy streams far beyond the ones aware to me through my Drew Fisher consciousness. I remember assessing and using the energetic powers effects of planets and stars, as well as systemic interactions within the human bioenergy field.
     As I've worked with The Mage "perspective" over the years more definition has come to me with regards to his purpose and the nature of his work. As I understand it now, The Mage is part of a team of anatomy architects who work on "perfecting" the adapatability of the human form for its ability to host the energy of we Spirit Beings. The Mage works to improve and adjust the ability and capacity of a particular prototype of Earth-based human--Homo sapiens sapiens--for handling greater levels, higher vibrations or frequencies, of Spiritual energy.
     As mentioned before, the human nervous system is the intermediary or wiring system for this interface. Spiritual energy is introduced to the human vessel through several ports, including the pineal gland, carotid (subcommissure) gland, heart and spleen as well as the "nadis"--which are etheric nodes or disbursement sites within the human's etheric form or biomagnetic template. From these and other entry and disbursement sites, Spritual Energy flows into and out of the human form. Through the nervous system, the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), the blood and the spleen, the Spiritual energy of consciousness is introduced and sent to every system, organ, cell, molecule, atom and sub-atomic particle of that human body. It is The Mage's job to tweak or tune the prototypical (or perhaps individual?) human nervous system for receptivity to Spiritual energy flow.
    As I said, at first I thought that The Mage existed in an inter-dimensional world--a world in which 'planning rooms' existed for the use of devising and building a variety of four-dimensional physical forms for Earth-based use could occur. But his surroundings (the Egyptian Pyramids) and work companions (a foreign race of small hominids whose monk-like appearance and affect most closely resemble that of John Lucas' Star Wars inhabitants of Tatooine, the Jawas), as well as his own physical form and motion, seem so Earth-familiar that I now believe he could very well be a member of another much earlier Earth-based human form--one that was less devolved and, therefore, less invested in the depths of emotional capacity, ignorance and fear than our own species--a species that was more attuned to and representative of high mental function and higher capacity of Spiritual force.
     The thought that previous human forms might have played a role in designing or modifying Earth-based life forms for the Spirit World's desire for a variety of experiential possibilities is a bit surprising to me, but wholly possible. We well know that there have been many "failed" evolutionary branches of our own species.
     I also find something in this idea a bit unsettling as it paints our Spiritual 'species' in a bit of a selfish, user/taker light. Are we "Spirits," or "monads," really just another "alien" species that is intentionally and selfishly using these Earth-based creatures for our own games--and using the Earth for our playground? The possibility of this makes me sad and upset. I hope this is not the case. At least for now. Perhaps with expanded understanding I will be better equipped to make more appropriate meaning of this. In the meantime, let us begin to revisit some of Journeyman Paul's Earth adventures, to try to retrace his steps to this Drew Fisher vehicle, to this joyous reunion with his Spirit Community.

(One More Time:) There Is No Right or Wrong

You may be sick of my incessant repetition of the phrase, "there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, no better or worse" and other variations I've used on this theme. Even so, I feel it my most sacred duty to continue to try to help remind others of this fact. Form, Duality, and Creation are but fabrications of a unified collaboration of individuated members of The One Unified Cosmic Consciousness. We, being integral and essential parts of that Unified Whole, are willing and intentional participants in the great adventure of Cosmic Creation. Duality and its endless spectra and continua were devised as playing fields for our experimentation and learning. Opposites only exist--can only exist--in the presence of each other. Every possibility out there is an equally viable opportunity for experience and learning. The saint learns from experiencing the deepest suffering or horrors of the opposite, say, of a murderer or a rapist. The materialist is exploring the opposite of an ascetic, a child born into affluence will learn from a different set of experiences--from a different perspective--than a child born into poverty just as a child born into "first world, technologically "advanced" society will have a totally different set of information to choose from than that of child born into a "third world" or paleolithic world. Each and all of these souls are choosing to come to Earth in order to learn the same lessons, overall. They have each merely chosen different settings, different circumstances and different orders of sequence to provide them with the impetus that might allow them to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, their own Truths and Joys, their true Selves.
     "Right" and "wrong," "good" and "evil," "better" and "worse" are all human fabrications. They exist only as terms to help define values that are relative to particular people, societies, cultures, eras, etc. "Right" and "wrong," "good" and "evil," "better" and "worse" are continually being reshaped and revised as people, societies, cultures, and eras adapt and progress to their perceived circumstances. What is "right" or "good" or "best" for your parent may be different for those of your grandparent, your government, your chosen social group, or the dominant paradigms of your era. The defining of these and all terms, beliefs, and values are for you to do. Any definition, belief, or value that you come up with is as viable and "right" as anyone else's so long as you feel strongly attached to it. But, as you grow, as you gather more information, as your experiences allow you different insights into the world and your self, your definitions, beliefs and values are certain to be challenged, and may change, evolve. What you believed or understood as a four-year old, as a 15-year old, as a 23-year old, will not be entirely the same as those beliefs, values, and truths you hold onto in your middle or late years.
     The same goes for choices you make for experiences along any polarized spectrum of extremes or of opposites:  The options are there specifically, explicitly for you to use. All of them. Rapist, murderer, thief, cheat, deceiver, traitor, coward, mouse, wallflower, recluse, are all choices available to us at any time, at any moment, in any life--choices that will all offer equal opportunities for experience, information, and insight into human nature and your own True Nature. It is ludicrous and naïve to think that Ted Bundy or Che Guevera or the aborted kid from your neighbor's daughter or Alexander the so-called Great or Michael Brown or Mohandis Ghandi or Taylor Swift or Abraham Lincoln didn't have choices, and that they didn't use the choices available to them for the potential learning that the consequences of their choices might provide them. On some level (whether conscious or not) their choices were all made explicitly for the chance to attract the kind of consequences and information into their lives that they desired, that they needed for their moment-to-moment self-definition, self-satisfaction, and self-revelation.
     Many humans may have passed through life in unawareness of their spiritual journey and may have had to wait until they had left their bodies and peeled back the Ego-shell of belief and understanding before they were able to process and integrate the information and the lessons offered them throughout their Earth life experiences. And this is fine. Others may have achieved some level of Self-awareness while in an Earthbound human vehicle and made growth while in the Earth School experience. This is great, too. Neither is right or wrong, neither is good or bad, neither is better or worse. They are just examples of the infinite possibilities of the infinite pathways to Self-realization and re-unification with one's Divine Source. There are, however, choices and paths that are easier and choices and paths that are more challenging.
    Using the Illusions is pretty easy once you've committed to the School environment. Seeing the Illusions as illusions and then really using them--consciously using them for your entertainment, for your lessons, for the information and experiences that you seek--now that is difficult. That is challenging. That is thought provoking, Self-confronting. That is rewarding. But I must remind you once again that the Illusions were created as tools. Yes, they have the ability to be very convincing, to seem real. And, yes, we can get caught in their traps. But wherever the Light of Love shines (which is Everywhere) there is the constant hint, the constant clue, that constant reminder that this--that all of Cosmic Creation--is but an elaborately conceived and partially self-constructed tapestry of illusory information--that is, of illusions in formation. Would that we all are able to recognize the forest for the trees--and the trees for the forest--for they all provide us with hints, clues, and reminders of the illusory nature of all things. They are all examples of information available to us that is intended as metaphor for other layers and gifts of information. Each layer is peeled away to reveal deeper, broader, larger meanings; each layer created to provide exactly the kind of information that we are most ready for at the time that we notice it. Meaning and understanding all leading back to the re-union with the next most expanded comprehension of our Selves and our place in the Grand Scheme of Things, until finally we are re-united with the One True Self that is the Grand Scheme of All Things.
     An odd concept to think that we in the eternal bliss of Eternal Oneness decided to create illusory "fragments" of our Self and put them in an illusory "World" somehow "separate" from our Self with the whole intention of exploring the infinite perspectives of imagination in order to test our self into seeing what choices our individuated fragmented "Selves" would devise in order to ultimately re-discover and re-join Self-hood with the Eternal Oneness!! How can it be seen as anything other than a game? A joke! The only real consequence to it all comes from Forgetfulness and it's children Ignorance and Fear. "Oh, poor thing! S/he forgot! But, it's okay. S/he'll remember. Eventually! Ha! ha! ha!"

I'm going to stop here. This concludes my 52nd podcast and, with it, I complete my first year of podcasting The Many Lives of Journeyman Paul. I hope that you have enjoyed and benefitted from some of the information I have shared in and through these podcasts. I will, here, let you know that during the second year of The Many Lives of Journeyman Paul, which will begin next week, I will be changing the format slightly. My goal in the second year is to present the listener with 52 examples, 52 anecdotal vignetttes, from a broad catalogue of stories which will, hopefully, display the many forms of information that Journeyman Paul has used for his personal growth and progress. Until then, thank you again for tuning in to my podcast series, and, I hope that you will return!
