Glimpses of Past Times and Places
Glimpses of Past Times and Places
With ever an attitude of gratitude,
I closed my eyes, put ego to rest
and felt my way through Time-Mists…
I passed by Local, International News-
those Future World History Lessons-
here and there slanted like towers
built toward egos with myopic views,
some News recorded, distorted, confused,
Events staged, enacted, reported, like Plays,
Histories forgotten, deleted, erased…
I moved through the Mists feeling
my way, seeing through Ancient Eyes…
I moved past the births of Western Cultures,
past the beginnings of Rome,
past the beginnings of Greece…
I flew past the Middle East,
past Moses, the Pillars of Light Spaceships,
past Abraham, the War, the Promised Land…
past the beginnings of Egypt-
past first Egyptians after the Flood
and the Great Pyramids designed and built
by a Technological Atlantean Race,
designs even elsewhere in Space…
When Egypt was born, India was Old.
I saw many a slow rise and fall
of India’s changing Civilizations…
I saw Ancient Star Wars, Wars
In the Heavens, the Reptilian Nagas-
those Colonists too, not from here…
I saw the Off-World Race with skins of Blue
like Krishna, a man of flesh and blood,
a King and Spiritual Teacher
Awake, Adept, Enlightened…
I saw a World of Space-crafts-
some called Vimanas in India,
some called Dragons in the Orient,
other names of flying ships in the Americas-
a World explored, inhabited, evolving
in Climate Change even then…
I saw a World of Giants-
Giant Animals and Giant Humans,
Animals now displayed, Humans hidden away.
I stood with the ‘Sons of God’
and the Female ‘Goddesses’ too-
Awakened, Remembering Spirit…
From there, I saw Mars at War
and before, Sirius and the Pleiades
and much more- Life exploring Star Systems –
Worlds of Strange Beauty too…
When I returned to This Here and Now,
I opened my eyes, humbled in gratitude…
Ah, but skeptic ego jumped up and said,
‘Was it all just a Dream?’
Then I remembered a wise old song
often repeated, recently heard-
‘Row, row, row your boat
gently down the Stream…
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily-
Life is but a Dream.’

Earth and Mars
Earth and Mars
Will we ever be done
with Beliefs and Leaders
of Politics and Theologies
that glorify War?
Will we ever grow past
our Loyalties to Dogmas,
to Zealots, to Radicals
that glorify War?
In the Language I write,
one word holds a Secret.
‘Wars’. Turn the ‘W’ of ‘Wars’
upside down to reveal
a truth long hidden.
‘Mars’. This name given
is Soul-Recognition,
a Soul-Memory in Myth,
a Story to Remember
Mars. Sometimes Old Stories
hide important truths.
Mars, the Olympic god
of War was not just one
human-looking god-man
adept at waging War.
Myths sometimes hold
hidden treasures, Secrets
that rewrite Histories
when found and understood.
Mars, the barren planet today,
is a very Ancient Relic
of great powers of destruction,
powers of ancient Species
attacking and defending,
a Relic and Evidence
of planet-killing Weapons.
Those ancient Weapons
with deadly powers to fear
were similar and greater than
those we now have here.
Like Earth, Mars was once
abundant with Water,
lush with Vegetation,
had many Species evolving-
some traveling with machines
through neighbouring Space.
My Martian Memories are Misty.
Were we the ‘Blue Gods’
or the ‘Nagas’ of Hindus?
Were we the ‘Elohim’
or the ‘Nephilim’?
Were we the ‘Star People’,
or the ‘Coyotls’, or the ‘Dragons’,
or the ‘Angels From Above’
appearing and disappearing?
Were these Us or Others,
Other Interstellar Species-
some benign, some hostile?
I’ve been these, too, before
and may become again
appearing in different forms
in and out of Spacetime,
exploring, experiencing Life,
Spirit ever moving
to and from Prime Source.
We Humans are as Children.
Our ‘Parents’ have Secrets and
believe it or not,
they don’t know Everything.
We must grow beyond our Fears.
Through Love, we go beyond our Fear.
Love is always the Answer here
on Earth, on Mars, Everywhere.
Will we ever be done
with False Needs and Horrendous Deeds?

I Once Believed
I Once Believed
I once believed in a God of Contradictions, a Parent Almighty, a Loving Creator God of Unlimited Power who was Powerless to Make Humans Obey, especially Women, a God who Needed the Help of Men to Fight Ancient and Modern Wars, to Obey and Kill on Command, Obedient to Commandments and Punishing Laws, a God of Wrath.
I once believed in a God of Sacrifice, a Death Dealing God who Required us to Demonstrate Obedience through our Self Sacrifice and the Sacrifice of our Loved Ones, especially the Innocents, the Child, the Children of God, Sons and Daughters of Man, the countless Sacrifices of Harmless Animals to a Primitive God still worshipped by many.
I once believed in a God of Rewards and Punishments, Rewards of Heaven, of Paradise, for Blind Faith and Blind Obedience, for the Right Genes, the Right Religion, the Chosen, the Elect, the Superior Few- a God of Jealousy, Vengeance and Cruelty to All Others- the Unbelievers, the Infidels, the Heretics, People of the Wrong Religion or Race or Politics, the Wrong History and Geography, the Wrong Beliefs, a Very Exclusive and Elitist God.
I once believed in a God who used Angels (those Humans and Extraterrestrials) with powerful Weapons to Destroy whole Cities, even the Children too- Innocent Infants, Toddlers and Teens, Children of Men and Women in the Wrong Place at the Wrong Time (Collateral Damage), Justified Death, Horrific Killing for Power and Control of Earth. Was it they who told us about the Horrors of Hells? I wonder.
I once believed in a God of Retribution, a God of Karma Making us, Forcing us, to Return Again and Again until we Got It Right, until we Outgrew our Unacceptable Behaviours, our Sins born of Ignorance that Mother of Evils, until we finally Saw the Light in our Meditations and Prayers or through our Devotions, Adorations and Rituals Considered Needed to Get It Right, Enlightened At Last.
I walk in the Wonder of Life Itself Letting Go of anything Less than Pure Love and True Freedom, those Other Names for God…

I Wonder
I Wonder
I wonder about many things- things beyond my intellectual and emotional comprehension as well as those things I think and feel that I understand in some small measure.
‘How great Thou art’ I often say to Life, to God Present in the Essential Nature of Every Being and in Every Atom of Everything, in the Forces and Elements of Nature and in the Great Mystery Beyond Everything- the Great Oneness of It All.
I wonder about ‘big things’ and ‘small’.
This morning I was wondering about our Human uses of Earth’s Resources. Where would we be in our Technologies of Information and Communication, our Technologies of Transportation, our Manufacturing and Distribution of so much of our Building Materials, our Furniture, our Adornments, our Medical Technologies, our Food Production, our Basic Needs and Comforts and Entertainments that we enjoy- if not for Mining whether judged by some as ‘exploitations’ or ‘wise use’ by others? How would we be living without our Mining Industries?
Even more ‘Technologically Primitive’ Civilizations Mined to create Weapons and Utensils, Mining from Earth’s Resources too. How would they have lived without Mining?
When we are Mining the Moon, the Asteroids and the Planets, like Mars, how will Humanity benefit? Will very few benefit, as it is today? Or, will our Insatiable Need for Weapons to solve Problems, resulting in Extensive and Irrational Inventories of Weapons with the Profiting Need for their Use so more can be made, work to create our End? Will we create better Solutions through Spiritual Evolution of Understandings and Actions before we Self-Destruct? I wonder.
We are Complex Creatures, even more Complex than our present Machines, though A.I. in Machines is Advancing rapidly with our help- to the Point where it may soon go Beyond Serving us into Completely Ruling us. Our Creation, our Machine World, may Replace us Bit By Bit, Part By Part. We may laugh and scoff now, but what will we Become?
Where are we heading as we ‘Advance’, as we Move Forward? How will we Change Direction if we don’t like where we’re headed? How do we Navigate a Path Between Extremes?
As Individuals, we just pop in and out of Life Here on Earth. Where is our Collective Free Will of Humanity- as a Species of Human Animals and as Spirits in God-given Flesh- taking us?
In this Century, we have Almost taken some Exits from Life Here, as has happened with other Species. That Potential is now with us every single Day through those in Power (elected or not) as well as through Transformations of the Planet Itself creating Its Own Solutions.
In some Timelines, we’re all no longer here. I wonder what the Story of This Timeline will be?

Transformations
Transformations
Earth transforms now and then
dramatically or little by little
when land masses slip and slide.
We’re just along for the ride.
We’re each here for a little while
as individuals and as species too.
Sometimes we even return
and continue our Great Adventures
evolving fast or slow as we do,
Star-Seeded again by Life
both here and by Life beyond
our Planet, Alien Interventions,
some of which we fear
as hostile or even divinely benign.
We’re all just passing through
this realm of joy and pain,
Souls on a Great Adventure,
Life’s experience to gain.
Some seek comforts in safe havens,
others seek danger to feel alive.
Some feast on their desires,
others struggle to survive.
Divine Creations, we evolve
by thought and deed and consequence,
paths well worn or those less travelled.
Attitude rules Circumstance.
Some are challenged by misfortune,
loss of all that’s valued here,
stripped of everything but Spirit,
Love expressed in those held dear.
We weep our own and others’ losses,
seeking answers as we pray.
None can judge the Soul’s Agenda
as we journey on our way.
We’re all just passing through.
A Unity Diverse…
We’re Life in many forms
throughout the Universe.
Here for a little while,
we travel in and out of Time
exploring Life Itself,
the mundane and sublime.
Our Lives are wondrous Journeys.
We challenge ourselves to grow,
exploring all conditions
through which we come and go.
Nothing here is forever.
We must leave it all behind.
Back to Source All Beings go,
beyond the limits of Mind-
beyond boundaries of Soul-
back to the Great Oneness we go,
that Oneness we call Heaven-
the God-Light and our True Home.
From and to Home we come and go
playing out our Great Adventures,
transforming Life as we know it,
creating realities loving or fearful
in multiple Timelines and Roles
or making another Free Will Choice-
Not Going Out and Staying Home.

Awake, Aware, Alive
(Friend or Foe, Dead or Alive
by our Definitions,
thanks for being here
as I journey through Galaxies,
Ethereal, Astral, Physical,
through Destinations and Destinies
appearing solid and daunting
on a Ship of Questions to Remember
what it means To Be Truly Free.)
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive
or are our days merely a dream,
a haze, a maze of perceived illusions,
mistaken assumptions, erroneous conclusions,
distortions and confusions
about Life, about God, about Us?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
From Childhood on, are we fed
and educated by our systems,
our families and societies
in what may by some be called
our Local Prejudices and Propagandas-
Cultural, Political, Religious-
as Blinders and Binders
through which we view
Life and God and Us?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
Do we really know how Life works,
how Interconnected, how Interdependent
everything is everywhere
in The Larger View, The Grander Vision-
of this Universe, the Earth and even
The Great Beyond- Life Beyond Death
connecting All, including you and me?
Do we see how we’re part
of this multilayered Universe
of particles, waves and densities,
consciousness and frequencies,
even this Earth, this World
of waters and lands, elements and animals,
trees and plants and All That Is?
Do we understand even now
how our Well Being is Interconnected,
Interdependent, part of the All
and as we do to This, we do
to ourselves as well?
Are we truly Awake, Aware, Alive?
How do we Awaken to Oneness?
How do we Live in Awareness?
How do we value Life and being Alive?
How do we state, demonstrate,
to the All who we each are?
Who do we choose to be?
In large or small measure,
what do we contribute to Life
whether selfish or selfless?
Who do we think we are?
Do we see Life as a Name for God,
Life Itself and Freedom too?
Do we see Life in Us as Us,
a Process, a Force, an Energy
constantly moving, changing,
sustaining, recreating ever
in every Here and Now?
Do we see Life Itself Present,
Alive in Us, as Us, as All
even when some are not truly Sentient-
Awake, Aware, Alive?
I seek out New Definitions.
I leave Lesser Truths behind.
(So here I am enjoying the journey
on a ship of Questions flying
Beyond my past understandings
of Life As It Is into Mystery
and what it means To Be Truly Free.
Thanks One and All for joining me!)

Life On Earth
Life On Earth
How quickly our Sun-driven Time
flows here in Earth Rotations-
minutes, hours, months, years…
We work and play and fill our days.
We mark our days of birth,
even create Traditions to celebrate
or borrow some while making them our own.
From infancy, childhood, adulthood,
and old age, we Humans contribute
in our own ways to Life,
to the Whole of every Age where Life shows up,
to every Stage by our Species’ Nature grown.
We create and destroy Civilizations,
their Structures, Systems, Permutations.
Our Technologies have advanced
like those of many Worlds in Galaxies,
beyond what we now see,
serving Life or Death to be.
We stand on the Brink of Destruction,
of Life or Death, our Species, all Species
on our Home Planet World.
How we act and how we think
contribute to the Whole.
Fear and Hate serve Death and Destruction.
Love of All Life serves Life Itself.
Indifferent Weapons have no Soul.
What is our Life worth here?
What is our Species’ goal?
Are we now less Humane or more
than Puppets of E.T. Wars?

Faith
Faith
Faith is Hope with starlit wings.
Faith carries Courage above
stormy waters of events,
circumstances, forces
that push us hard and pull us down.
Faith lifts us high in troubled times
from Worldly cares to Heavenly realms
of understandings beautiful and sublime.
Here Higher Powers appear in glory
of awesome Wonders, enlightening,
communicating the power of words
to calm, with comforting assurance,
any fears in hearts and minds.
Here Peace is crowned and Joy is found
a Heavenly Treasure beyond all measure.
Here is where Love abounds
as Love unbounded,
not bound to limitations,
fully free in every way.
When Faith rests on things untrue,
on tangled webs of lies, held tight
in dark deceptions, conspiring agendas
linked and bound by chains of silence
holding down what’s truly true
then Faith falls through such ground
of decayed, unsound foundations,
Faith’s Trust is broken, illusions shattered,
though Faith may yet still cling to these.
Faith deceived has no Freedom,
disempowers us through Fear,
creates confusions, distorts perceptions,
warps world views, spins false news,
enslaves and carries us away
from Love as God’s True Light
to guide our lives in many ways.
Faith corrupted steals and slanders,
torments, tortures, exiles, kills,
becomes the Opposite to Love
while justifying Deadly Games
of Destruction in God’s Names.
May our Faith be ever free
to grow and change, evolve,
to lift us ever higher
to higher truths and wisdoms,
to help us see ever more clearly
Life, our lives, our planet World
and what is truly true.

A Young Species
We are a young Species.
Like young Children,
we grow in greater Awareness
of other Beings, other Humans
and strange-looking Creatures
sentient or not,
evolving fast or slow,
loving, friendly,
fearful, hostile,
appearing strange in many ways.
Like young Children,
we grow in greater Awareness
of where we live,
of Other Rooms and Spaces
Beyond the first we knew.
Some of us reach out
to touch the heavens,
eager to explore and know
The Wonders waiting Beyond
Closed Doors and Curtained Windows,
Beyond what we now see.
Some of us go deep within us
to know where our life began,
to know again The Womb of Heaven,
know again The Oneness
and The Wonder of It All.
Like young Children,
we grow in greater Awareness,
we Make Believe and Make It So
creating and co-creating
a myriad Dreams as Realities
Playing Out as we grow.
Beings of Older Ages, Other Places, watch
and sometimes even guide us
as we Play, Evolve and Grow.

Tolerance and Acceptance
Tolerance and Acceptance
This may be
your only birth
on this little planet
we call Earth.
Perhaps you
were never born here
in this wondrous World
ever once before
but I have
and will again
even many times more.
Among the stars
I’ve also lived
in other strange forms
knowing Peace and Wars.
You may see
this vast Universe
as far outside of you
but I can clearly see
it is within us too.
You may think
we were born in sin
but I do see
God’s holy Presence
the Life of our life,
as ever and always within.
You can’t prove
and I can’t prove
Beliefs we hold
from things we’re told
or of our own
Remembrances and
Perceptions.
May we leash
our loyal dogmas
and choose a wiser way,
growing day by day
in Tolerance and
Acceptance.

Another Perspective
How easily we believe what we’re told through gossip, the modern Media and the Scriptural News of old slanted to steer behaviours through trained perspectives, beliefs and World Views. Even our questions are coloured lines, patterned attitudes and contained beliefs- those old ‘boxes’ in which we see Life and from within which we create our collective and individual experiences. When we choose to step out of one such box created in a distant past, we often jump into another. Out of the box, we become a threat to the ‘status quo’ as heretics, unbelievers, doubters, exiles and outcasts.
I am reminded of Hagar, the ancient bondwoman of Sarah, wife of Abraham- a tribal chieftain who entertained the ‘men of God’ with food and drink and who agreed to a pact, a contract to fight in their wars in return for great promises. The identities of these men who ate, drank and threw bones to predict and tell fortunes have been translated now as ‘messengers of God’ and as ‘angels’ and as ‘God’. I am guessing that they were actually part of some ancient religious order with ties to extraterrestrials fighting for control of Earth. Just a guess, of course. I could be wrong.
Hagar is portrayed as a jealous servant who deserved to be cast out of the camp with her child to die in the desert when Sarah had given birth to her own son. He was to be the ‘rightful heir’ to promises of power, riches and many offspring with the help of these ‘angels of God’, ‘messengers’, ‘men of God’. The Scriptures ‘testify’ to this ‘contract’ of promises in return for warriors.
Seen from another perspective, Hagar was an Egyptian ‘bond-gift’ given to serve Sarah, the beautiful woman desired and favoured by the Pharaoh of that time. Hagar was forced to serve Sarah, attend to her needs like combing her hair- a personal attendant much like later ‘ladies of the court’. Hagar was forced to have sex with Sarah’s husband, believing false promises, in order to produce a surrogate child for Sarah by her command. Then, when Sarah, herself, was ‘miraculously’ inseminated, suddenly fertile, giving birth to her own child, both Hagar and her offspring became a threat to Sarah and her son. An excuse to be rid of them was easily created. Such circumstances with intrigues have been repeated in places of power throughout history.
Hagar was made into a symbol of powerless bondage and slavery while Sarah became a symbol of freedom, grace and God’s favour- all to justify and sanctify struggle for power ‘rightly won’.The consequences of these ancient actions have spread ripple effects through time even to this day.
From Sarah’s perspective, she did what was ‘right and just’ for herself and her son. Hagar was in bondage and had no rights, especially the right to glorified power, so Hagar was ‘in the wrong’ to assume power for her son despite false promises made to her by Abraham and Sarah herself. I am guessing that it did not ever occur to Sarah that bondage and slavery itself was ‘wrong’ and spiritually unjustifiable. The primitive culture of her time and of primitive cultures before her had accepted and lived in those ‘boxes of belief’ that bondage and slavery were acceptable, right, just,and the ‘will of their God’ as told by ‘men of God’. She’d believe this without question.
It’s amazing how men and women of intelligence fail to question the ‘status quo’’ even today. It’s also amazing how men and women of intelligence fail to see the ample contradictory evidence of a capricious God of Love and Condemnation, Love and Damnation, of Loving and Hating, of Comforting Grace and Angry Revenge, of Ultimate Power and Complete Powerlessness except through Fear and Need for Sacrifice- both animals and human life. Such versions and visions of the Creator, God, were brought to us by ‘men of God’ in many ancient cultures. How great the needless suffering has been because of this!
We must rise out of our ‘boxes of beliefs’ to a higher perspective, like a higher view seen of the Earth, a higher World View, and come to realize that we are all one, a unity of Life expressing diversity. Then we shall see God everywhere through new eyes, new ‘I’s’, as a more highly evolved Humanity. The assumption here is that we don’t destroy ourselves and our precious home planet first.

we all move in a Grand Procession
of orbits and cycles of Grace.
