"If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it..." Some musings on reality.

Friends,

I posted this message, Wednesday evening: 'My love, to all my friends, experiencing the blizzard. Blessings!' This has generated some questions about where I am living...'Have you moved?'...'Do you not live in Dubuque?'...'Where were you last night?'...'I'm confused. Don't you live, like two miles from me, dude?'. I still live in Dubuque, and visited several of its great businesses, last night. I can tell you that I am still living in Dubuque, and was in Dubuque last night and today. I can also tell you that I did not experience a blizzard. I am not delusional, nor am I being cheeky. 

I simply did not experience a blizzard. 

Now, I am aware that many, of my friends and family, have experienced the blizzard, and that is why I posted:

"My love, to all my friends, experiencing the blizzard. Blessings!"

Friends, our experience is not limited to that, which is the collective perspective. In fact, it is possible to, consciously (and with no delusion), experience something other than what others are experiencing...even when they are right next to you. In fact, you do it every day. You are doing it now...mostly unconsciously. 

You are free, and capable, of experiencing life, fully from your own personal field of creation. This is, really, are there is. The concept of a collective field of creation...one that requires a majority vote...it just that, a concept. A very persistent, self-sustaining perspective, it would seem.

Now, I know that it seems to be born out by everyday experience. The majority agrees that grass, on any given day, will be green. If you drop an egg, it will splatter. If you live in the same geographical location, as those, experiencing a blizzard, you must experience blizzard. Majority rules. Or does it?

I tell you, right now, that it is possible to understand that other are experiencing a particular "collective experience", while you are (again, consciously) aware of, and participant to, a different experience. This is not a delusion...you are aware of both realities, and treat both as real, AND simply, consciously, choose to experience something other than the "collective experience". 

I know this, from personal experience. I have had some interesting experiences, throughout my life, that have always pointed to this. Experiences that were in line with the physics, metaphysics, and philosophy, that were informing my inner life, have played out, in my outer life. In the last three years, these experiences have increased in frequency and intensity, and with them, have come more than a few epiphanies...one, of which, I am relaying, with this message.

I can with great clarity, and with no judgment, tell you that I did not experience a blizzard, while those around me, most certainly did. Call this what you will...a matter of perspective, rose-colored glasses, philosophical and linguistic acrobatics, word play...I tell you that I am aware that, for many, a blizzard occurred in this geographical location. I know that this is true, and I know that, with equal surety, I experienced other. 

We are living in a very interesting time. everything is on the table, and I am here to tell you that what you call reality, is an opt-in, rather than an opt-out. You experience what you expect to experience, and you can only expect what you can accept. Now is the time to look at what you can accept, and whether it is in line with your joy. Now is the time, to question what you are willing to accept, and begin living from what is possible. Now is the time, to remember that your truest essence is that which makes all things possible. 

Blessings, 

Patrick

p.s. More on this, later. Time for sleep. Tattvam asi! (Thou art that, from which, all things flow, and in which, all things exist!)
