It's Finally Time...
THE PROOF
A film that will change the way humanity looks at Oneness
On April 15th, James Twyman releases his new film: THE PROOF. What if it's possible to actually prove that the mystics and saints were correct when they said that we actually are ONE? And what if it could be done in a fun, exciting way that touches millions of people who would not normally be attracted to such ideas?

The film will be released as a free gift in April, a downloadable movie that will change the way you look at yourself and the world you live in. Best of all, you'll then have an opportunity to learn how to experience this phenomenon yourself in a special Internet course produced by Hay House.

SOUL SIZE
As we move deeper into what President Obama called in his Inaugural address "this winter of our hardship," some inspiration might not be unwelcome. During the years I lived in the Findhorn community in northern Scotland, our work itself was inspiring. But we often found inspiration of another sort when we were visited by Sir George Trevelyan, one of the founders of the adult education movement in Britain. Sir George had a gift for oratory, and his lectures were studies in eloquence, graced with poems that he recited from memory. It was always thrilling to hear him speak.
One of his favorite passages that he introduced to us was from the play A Sleep of Prisoners by Christopher Fry, an English playwright. First produced in 1951, it tells the story of a group of soldiers who are prisoners of war held in an empty church at night. In the play, one of the characters, Sergeant Meadows says:
The human heart can go the lengths of God.
Dark and cold we may be, but this
Is no winter now. The frozen misery
of centuries breaks, cracks, begins to move;
The thunder is the thunder of the floes,
The thaw, the flood, the upstart Spring.
Thank God our Time is now when wrong
Comes up to face us everywhere,
Never leave us till we take
The longest stride of soul men ever took.
Affairs are now soul size.
The enterprise
Is exploration into God.
Where are you making for? It takes
So many thousand years to wake
But will you wake for pity's sake?
For Sir George, this poem encapsulated the times in which we live. I agree. And its sentiments are no less true now than they were nearly forty years ago when I first heard them. Down the years, many of its passages have rung in my memory and have been an inspiration.
The human heart can go the lengths of God. What an amazing statement this is. In a way it is at the heart of the incarnational worldview I wrote about last month. It says that as human beings, as individuals with bodies and personalities and all the foibles and challenges of earthly life, there is nothing of God that is closed to us. We have in ourselves the dimensions of the Sacred. Our humanity does not separate us from that great Mystery but rather folds us into it. Wherever God loves, our hearts can follow. And that is everywhere. In a world still dangerously riven with hatred, strife, fear and anger, it is good to know we have such a power within us. If our hearts can go the length of God, then there is hope and promise we can go the lengths of the differences between us.
Thank God our time is now when wrong comes up to face us everywhere. In an interview when asked how he felt becoming President at a time of major crisis, President Obama said that it was such times that made public service meaningful. In his address to both houses of Congress last night, he revisited this theme, saying, "Those of us gathered here tonight have been called to govern in extraordinary times. It is a tremendous burden, but also a great privilege, one that has been entrusted to few generations of Americans, for in our hands lies the ability to shape our world, for good or for ill."
No one wishes for crisis, but when crises come, they can call forth our best impulses, those of compassion, courage, creativity, and community. And if there are crimes and evils hidden in the dark places of our society and the darker places of our consciousnesses, all the better they come to the surface to be seen, understood, confronted, and healed. If our generation is called to bear a burden of that healing, it is a powerful calling and honor and one within our capability.
But the playwright is saying more than that crisis brings forth the best in us or gives thanks that evil is being brought into the light. The full quote is asking that this wrong, coming up to face us everywhere, "never leave us till we take the longest stride of soul men ever took." It's not the crisis or the confrontation with wrongness that is most important but that we have the opportunity, the impetus, to take that long soul-stride, to stride the "lengths of God." In short, to fulfill the potential of our human hearts. Rather than being beaten down by crisis, by evil, by the wrongs of the world, or the challenges and fears of the moment, we need to find that spaciousness of love and hope and vision that can truly transform things. And we can, for that spaciousness is in us, accessible to beings like us that can "go the lengths of God."
The nineteenth century American poet, Sam Walter Foss, wrote in his work ,The Coming American, "Bring me men to match my mountains, Bring me men to match my plains..." The American Rockies inspired awe with their majesty and ruggedness, and the vastness of the American plains offered an unmatched spaciousness and fruitfulness. They were symbols of the challenges and opportunities of a new world, calling to an adventurous and creative spirit. Generations of Americans responded.
But now a poet might write, "Bring me souls to match this world. Bring me hearts to match its life." It is no mere continent that lies before us now but the earth itself with all its rich diversity and wonder of life and all humanity upon it. The global challenges we face are as unknown a terrain as the American continent was to the pioneers of two hundred years ago, daunting and yet capable of inspiring our creative spirit. But to meet these challenges we shall have to let our hearts go "the lengths of God" and find in us the source of our power to create wholeness. As Fry says, "affairs are now soul size." So let us be men and women to match our souls.
The enterprise is exploration into God. Yes, it is. It is an exploration into the sacredness within all things great and small around us and within us. But it's also an exploration into ourselves and into each other in new ways, honoring ways, respectful ways, loving ways, incarnational ways. We need spirit, but we also need a vision of love for the life of the earth that let's us cherish it as home. For that life-human life, plant life, animal life, earth life-is all within the length of God.
Where are you making for? This is the question of our time. What is our vision? What kind of world do we want, for ourselves, for our children, for our children's children? What kind of world do we want for the fish and the birds, the beasts and the insects, the forests and the meadows, the crops that feed us and the flowers that bring us beauty? I believe we want to create a world large enough to be a soul home for us and for all beings, loving and large enough to give expression to the soul of the world itself, spacious and whole enough to express the lengths of God. And I believe we can. The capacity to do so is innate in us. If affairs are soul size, we can meet them because we are soul size, too.
It takes so many thousand years to wake but will you wake for pity's sake? This is the call. To wake to ourselves and our incarnations. To wake to each other. To wake to our world as home. To wake to our hearts that can go the lengths of God.

The Essence of my Message
My message is simple. It is that all are everything.
The consciousness that you are has been every story ever told. This is to realize that every being can say they are, have been, and will be every being they ever experience. We all straddle Hitler, Christ and everything in between. This realization is nothing more than the clear conclusion of All Are One. If the Hitler comment freaks you, know that he was surprisingly not that dissimilar to some western right-wing evangelical teachers or eastern fundamentalists today; meaning you don't have to look to the past to see the energy of his xenophobia/'hatred of other'.
You ARE an individual in any human life, but you are also ALL lifes (past, future, and present) simultaneously. To understand this is to realize that the past and future are in evolution in just the same way the present is. This is how they co-exist but are not predetermined.
This is the release of trying to separate that which we have all been into good and bad, and instead realize that it has all been an amazing journey. This is to see that we have, with total love of our own evolution, chosen all that we have created. In the realization of that choice is the realization that there has never been an external force of darkness or light other than that which has been a reflection of our own power of creation.
If you still need to know that you are all that is good in the universe then go to the 'love and light' New Age philosophies of love. Please note that under the umbrella of New Age there are also wonderful teachings that embrace the all, rather than just love and light.
If you still need to know you are all that is sinned, flawed, and damned (if you look at the small print of Christianity you are going to Hell if you want to have any life at all) then look to the old organized religions of the world. There are more modern forms such as the Course in Miracles and these still say the same thing, which is the mortality, physicality, individuated self is an inferior illusion that you should awaken from. They still point to a force of darkness – your pride and ego for example.
My perspective is that you are everything and your complete freewill is housed within your ability to subjectively interpret this world through infinite combinations of symbology. You are FREE to do this. There is delusion here for to awaken is to see through the illusion of the objective to see that it is all subjective. Science is heading towards this in Quantum Physics. However please know that all the subjectivity interelates in a perfect harmony of experience amongst the shared collective that we call humanity. There is deep meaning in the Universe! It is just all of our own creation and not law from before we existed. We are living our dream, and whether that is one of joy or a nightmare is of our own determinaion.
Simply put, there is no external force that can affect you negatively unless you create it through your belief in negative / fallen / heathen / unconscious forces (the prison of judgement). To see this is to awaken to the illusion, and the wonderment is that this does not destroy the illusion. It is to birth your full power of self-creatorship. For that is all you have the power to ultimately effect - your own experience. All other interaction is by mutually agreed co-creation. The idea you can invade (or be invaded) is actually an illusion. If you invade then you are always invading an aspect of yourself that you are judging. All judgment of other is a reflection of self-judgment.
When you awaken you will have the choice to leave and dis-incarnate if you choose, but it is my feeling that most will remain as when you awaken you realize you are in one of the most wonderful playgrounds ever created, and although things seem a little messed up on the surface level at the moment it will not take many people awakening to start changing all that if it is their joy to do so; for they will not be in opposition to anything, they will simply be transforming what is through knowing of creation.
A Love Letter to America
So though to some people it may seem odd that one of my first awakening actions is to go after collective conscious self-executions, please know I am not feeling this to be a force of darkness I must conquer. America has every right to sit in its current bed with China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iraq. What is so surprising to me in this is how in conflict it is with the Obama choice that America has now clearly declared to the world. So know this ... what I am reacting to is not the killing of yourselves, but the way in which it is in total opposition with what you have stated you want to be with the Obama vote.
So though some people may perceive I am attacking / resisting something, I am simply responding to your Obama declaration of intention. For I tell you this America. You CANNOT create the Obama future you desire and have the right to bear arms and the death penalty. Not because I am saying something is impossible, but because you are saying you don't want violence and the choice for guns and the death penalty is the choice to experience violence. It really is very simple to see when you pull your head out of your fear :)
Why do you think all the countries you admire have gotten rid of the death penalty, and the countries you judge are the ones most like you in this. Think about it! You are facing your own judgement of the rest of the world to be inferior. That why you have you needed all those guns and bombs as you were afraid of the perceived 'lack of civilization' in the rest of the world. You voted in Bush because you wanted to destroy the pedestal you put yourselves on; job well done!
Most of Europe released their desire to kill what they feared through what they saw in themselves through the Holocaust. Though you took part in that war you did not see it as being 'of you' hence it was never meant to effect you in quite the same way. You enjoyed being the cavalary that saved the day in the last act. And now you are being your own cavalary. You saved that until now and that has all been wonderful and perfect.
With the Obama choice versus guns and capital punishment I am now just pointing to something that is in direct opposition to what you say you want to be. I love America, and hope with its release of violence I will be able to live their in the future. America has always felt like home to me on some level, but I wouldn't want to currently live there, even with Obama now voted in. A choice for me to move to America today would be the giving up of my right not be shot; for it is written in the law that is the manifestation of every citizen's consensus agreement that you can kill and torture what you fear. I don't want to sign that energetic contract!
America is indeed about to return to what it knows itself to be. One manifestation of this will be the ending of the death penalty, and then the putting down of your need to own guns. I am so happy this IS happening, right now, for I feel it in the heart of the Obama choice.
America, what you are doing is amazing!
With love to America,
Story Waters
p.s. Largely unbelieved fact by Americans. Our cops in the UK do not carry guns around except in very special circumstances. How is that possible the cops don't need guns?!?!? Because we don't have the right to bear arms so we don't have a gun section in our version of Walmart (Asda in the UK)! Trust me, that you have gun sections in Walmart is really, really weird to most of the rest of us; like as unbelievable as our cops not carrying guns is to you.
It is time to start feeling safe in the world America. That is the Obama future you seek. A deep knowing that all is right, that you are safe in what you are. You are NEVER safe with a gun in your hand, or your finger on the execution/invasion button. The choice to release the violence is the facing of what you feared you needed all those guns for in the first place.

Topic: Musings
WHY WE DO GOOD THINGS
My dad was sometimes very cynical. He claimed that people only do good because it makes them feel good. Any act of generosity according to him always has a self-centered motive. I remember when I was fourteen and a friend telephoned to say that she needed help looking after her mother who was ill. I immediately replied that I would go over and have never forgotten the look in my father's eyes or the cool tone in his voice.
'Don't fool yourself that you're doing it for her,' he said. 'There's always self-gratification.'
Doing good and self-sacrificing for our families, for our clans and for our species, say some biologists, is a genetic and evolutionary imperative. They suggest that this is the instinctive drive of the 'selfish gene' ensuring that its gene pool survives, even to the cost of its host carrier. This is why, they say, that parents are prepared to sacrifice themselves for their children.
Similar to this, one of the most startling of all religious symbols is the sacrificial symbol of the Rosicrucians, a sixteenth century European mystical society. This symbol is of a pelican, pecking at the flesh on her chest in order to feed her young. This spiritual imperative to self-sacrifice, for many, is the core meaning of Christ on the cross, dying in order to redeem all God's children. In fact, there are many traditions in which deities sacrifice themselves for the benefit of their communities.
So why do we do good? I don't like the three answers that I have just described above.
• Self-gratification.
• Genetic imperative.
• A religious impulse to self-sacrifice.
They may all be part of the equation, but I prefer to think and to feel that something else is at work — something more direct and inspiring.
***
When Copernicus and Galileo said that the Earth was a spinning globe and that the sun was the centre of our system, their colleagues did not believe them. I can easily understand this because my actual second-by-second experience is that I am standing on something flat and stable. It is flat. It is not moving. Surely if the Earth were really spinning and orbiting through space at thousands of miles an hour, I would fall over or fall off. The reality is of course that, because of gravity, we do not experience or feel the movement.
But there are more profound and powerful dynamics in the cosmos than just spinning and orbiting. The universe exploded and emerged from some single incomprehensible event. In fact, everything in the cosmos is perpetually emerging, expanding, growing, developing, changing, flowering, contracting, recycling and re-birthing. We ourselves emerge from single cells to grow and expand. Plants emerge from seeds. These are universal dynamics.
But unlike the motions of the Earth, planets and Sun, which we do not feel, we can and do feel the dynamics of emergence, change and growth.
Within ourselves, if there is no flow, no flexibility and change, we experience physical or psychological stiffness and a loss of good health.
When we are open, flexible and developing, we experience physical and emotional wellbeing.
It is the same with how we behave and feel towards those around us. If our feelings and behaviour are frozen, then it does not feel good. When our feelings and behavior are flexible, supportive and creative, it feels good.
Generosity and service, helping things to grow - these activities put us in harmony with the fundamental dynamics of nature and the universe. It feels good to do good because we are then on the same frequency as spirit. We are cooperating with it, congruent with it, dancing it, enjoying it. This is so very different from behaviour that is frigid, greedy and obstructive.
When we live and behave with generosity, something happens within our chemistry and our consciousness. To be creative and in harmony with the thrust of existence feels good.
We do not do good because it brings self-gratification. We do good because that is part of the natural order of things. It is a way of being fully alive.
***
Of course, to cooperate with this creative cosmic dynamic is difficult when we are lost in illusion, frightened, hungry or insecure. But in times of crisis, heroes emerge who demonstrate poignant courage. Barack Obama's life is one such inspiring story and I recommend both of his books. At the same time, I pray that the more negative forces of politics and history do not corrupt his instinct for service.
Doing good and being of service do not, however, have to be dramatic or visible. Just having a good attitude is of benefit. Moods and attitudes ripple through social networks "like pebbles thrown into a pond", wrote Nicholas Christakis, a professor of sociology at Harvard Medical School, in a recent British Medical Journal. "A friend who lives within a mile (about 1.6 km) and who becomes happy increases the probability that a person is happy by 25%."
His research over a twenty-year period with over four thousand people concluded "People's happiness depends on the happiness of others with whom they are connected. This provides further justification for seeing happiness, like health, as a collective phenomenon."
Being of service to our communities, being congruent with the fundamental dynamics of emergence and change, then is not just about overt and recognised acts of benevolence. Doing good is crucially about the type of people we are and the ripples that we send out into the pond.

My Death of Channeling
by Story Waters
There is nothing in nothing in existence that I am not, and yet there is no thing that I definitively am. There is no person in history that I am not, and yet I can only truly tell you about who I am now. All else is reflected through that mirror/notion.
I have not met any need for a limit. But if there is one then it is I can only express that which I can meet through the experience of my own consciousness. This does not mean that there is nothing that I cannot express, it means that if I can conceive it I can express it.
There is no joy that I have not felt, just as there is no suffering I have not endured. My experience is uniquely singular, and yet there is no experience either singular or collective that lies outside of its scope.
Who Am I?
I am.
I am that I am.
I am both simultaneously the experience and the expression of non-physical consciousness. That aspect of my being which contemplates (self-reflects) has realized that through my power of choice I am the creator of my reality.
Through my choices I am the creator of both my inner experience and then my expression of self into matter. It is through a combination of both consciousness and unconsciousness that I choose both my non-physical and physical experience. This is to come to know that all that affects me is not only by my consent, but that through the nature of that consent I am the co-creator of that experience. I choose how I perceive and react to all that affects me. Within that, though I may experience unconscious forces, I know that even the nature of that unconsciousness is ultimately of my own choosing. I understand that this choice is in terms of the nature and quality of experience and not the particular definition of that experience.
There is no experience in consciousness that I have not been able to meet within myself through the release of any fear associated with that experience.
… next day …
We are Legion.
We are the legion.
We are the legions inside of you, inside each of you.
There are legions inside of you, each of you.
Within each of you, there is a legion.
A legion of lives, of experiences.
We are the legion of all.
We are the collective legion.
We are unimaginable strength.
Story, has awoken to his legions within.
He has opened his eyes to the universe within him.
Within each of you, there is a universe.
He who marches with the army is the army.
One who sings with the choir is the choir.
All the dancers become the dance.
… next day …
My life has been driven by the unfolding of the question, 'Who Am I?'
Today I remembered that this is not my question.
I remembered that before I met with the consciousness of my first teacher Jane Roberts, expressing that which she named Seth, the question was instead, 'What Am I?'. Today the question 'What Am I?', that which evolved through my meeting of the experience of Jane, Seth I, II, and III in the question 'Who Am I?', has returned to it original form in a new way.
It became, 'who' because I started to have the experience I came to call channeling, and within that experience I came to experience the 'we' of me. As soon as I opened myself multidimensionally to the idea that I contained both a 'we' and an 'I' I came to explore consciousness in a way that was new and exciting to me. I entered the framework of experience that is called channeling to further experience, explore, and express this experience I have named 'Story Waters'.
I never quite fitted in the channeling community as I wasn't having the same experience that other channellers were describing to me. Generally they describe something become present in them, and 'their self' stepping slightly to the back (or side) and being a participatory conduit and translator for the energy. I have never had this experience of stepping back. I have instead always had the experience of being, of embodying, that which becomes present in me. I don't go anywhere, I become it very literally, such that I know myself to be it. There is no I am It, as there is no separation between I and It. The experience has always been a total realization that I am just speaking from another aspect of my being no matter what it is..
In this state I also always experience myself as a We rather than an I. It seems obvious now, but the whole experience I have called channeling has been different experiences of collective consciousness. The most staggering thing in this is that it seems there is no non-physically-focused being in consciousness that will not allow me to experience myself as it. And many physically focused ones will also meet me. Note how this points to an experience of the mobility of consciousness. This realization more than anything is leading me to see the redundancy of individuality in terms of definition, but not in terms of the validity of the experience and the desire for it. It appears to me that any beingness that you are willing to meet in equality will meet you for you are equally it choosing to meet the other as self. This is the state of no fear and total vulnerability that is often called enlightenment.
So today I ask the question in a new way. I thereby ask for the first time, the question, 'What Am I?' For I have come to see through the illusion of 'who', of personhood, of individuality, of names, and of stories. I have come to see that no name can describe anything for the language that we see as common is not. No two words ever mean the same thing, even if the letters are the same. This is to realize that that which observes through infinite perspectives is never repeated and can never be separated from the experience of that which it observes.
This is not to say that stories are not valid, for they are the building blocks of creation of the type of reality we are choosing to experience, express, and explore yourself through currently. To see through the illusions of stories is paradoxically not to stop using them, for the meaning arises out of the illusion. This is to see through the illusion of the idea that 'a meaning' (a god) created the illusion. There is no meaning that created the illusion you call reality. That which you call meaning is instead that which arises out of the creation and experience of the illusion. That which created the illusion, the source of all this, is pre-meaning, pre-definition, and pre-time-space-matter.
This is all to say that what you are is source experiencing a neutral experience through which you are experiencing great meaning (experiences of non-neutrality/things mattering). You have been under the illusion that the illusion has arisen out of a meaning that you can discover. This is the meaning you have sought.
The realization of the meaning you have sought is that which created the universe, that which created all that you perceive, is the desire of source to experience the illusion of 'other' for it is through the illusion of 'other' that you (source) have come to be have the very experience you are having now. And the experience you are having now is very joyous and exciting indeed!
This is to say that the meaning of your life is your life. You chose this life to experience it. Full Stop.
End of story.
That is the meaning of life. And in its understanding is freedom from both matter of the physical and non-physical varieties/dimensions.
This is the realization that nothing matters. It is the destroyer of all meaning.
In the destruction of all meaning is the awakening to the nature of reality that you seek.
To come to see that nothing matters is to realize that you are free to selfishly and indulgently do anything you desire in this life. This is generally the face of the experience through which people will give themselves permission to allow their dream to manifest. That is the only reason those words looks distasteful to some (selfish and indulgent) for that is the face of the fear, the words of judgement that show the separation from a wider experience of all that you are.
The beauty however is that once you have truly allowed in the realization that nothing matters you will experience a wider realization of your power to create the dream in your heart and in this state there is not feeling of selfishness as there is no sense of the limitations of fear (guilt, shame, regret, apprehension, etc). It is also seen that the experience of no other is dependant on you in any way except through that which you have chosen. This is the realization of 'I Owe You Nothing' (recording available on Limitlessness.com).
To full experience 'Nothing Matters' may result in what we would call a void or zero point experience where you experience source consciousness through the face of having nothing else with which to relate – the experience of no other or solipsism. This is the experience of the nothingness – the experience of being without definition. You are still the experiencer, but in a state of there being nothing to experience except for the experience of their being nothing else to experience. This is generally felt as the totality of all your remaining fear, for in this state there is no longer anything to project onto. This is to step outside of time, space, and matter – all that defines.
Within this is a great insight, for to see that you will be forced to directly experience all you fear if you have nothing to project onto provides great insight into why you are forced to manifest experiences of fear externally that you are not willing to meet internally. For the unconscious human at this polarized time in your history (for you have each chosen to awaken), fear forms much of the definition of their lives.
So it is as true to say you are what you fear as much as you are what creates passion inside of you. So know that without the illusion of the definition of this reality to project your fears onto, you will come to see yourself clearly and you will know that you are both all that you have loved and all that you have feared for you are all that is, was, and will ever be. You are the one consciousness experiencing itself far more directly that you have been conceiving up to now.
Within the veil are infinite realities. But they are within the veil, not on the other side of the veil. All is within the veil. You are each the veil that creates your own reality. You are each your own veil. You may unveil yourselves whenever you are ready to face your final fears. For all that you seek is what you have feared. However you will not know the meaning that will arise out of facing your fear until you face it. You fear is the unknown until you are willing to make it known. Then what you feared becomes a part of your collective, a part of your realization of strength. Know that in this reference to strength it is noted that there is no 'other' to use strength against, so it is not a statement of the ability to force things, it is a statement of the knowingness that there is nothing you cannot create.
… pause …
Story: I had this void experience during my awakening process and I felt all my fear instantaneously. The closest I can bring it into verbalisation is, 'Holy F##k! Nothing is real!'.
Nothing truly matters.
There is no true meaning. All that is felt as meaning is the experience that arises from the dual aspects of matter (duality), i.e. which is felt as the belief that something matters, whatever that may be: life itself, family, truth, pleasure, fantasy, honor, integrity, love, joy, the holy grail, the exalted ideal, the dream in your heart.
So know that meaning HAS meaning.
So though meaning is an illusion, it is a incredibly meaningful experience, for it is the realization of meaning itself.
The illusion, the veil, the lie of 'other', has created a realish world, with realish laws that govern it, all experienced through an idea that different experiences have different meanings. By exploring those differences and coming to chose we have made the realish world real, and we have now come into contact with the realization that we are the creators of that reality and there is no limit to how we can change it for it is not physically set, it is just an idea that we can change expressed out into physicality. This is how nothing is impossible. This is the realization of limitlessness. You never need to directly manipulate matter, you simply change the idea/feeling that is manifesting it.
Not only are you are story that you can change, so too this world is a story we can all collectively change. We can make the story of this world anything.
Know that when you are ready.
You can imagine meeting other stories.
You can imagine meeting other worlds.
You can imagine meeting non-physicality. You can imagine meeting spirit.
The question then becomes, 'Are the new worlds of consciousness I can meet within my 'channeling' experience being created by me in the moment I am experiencing them, or are they a truly valid 'other' that is bringing something truly new to me?'
The answer to this appears to be that they are as you and I are to each other: no different. That sentence is worth reading possibly quite a few times. To understand it you have to have let go of seeing your perceptions of difference as being meaningful. This is an experience of the deconstruction of your own meaning which is the path through the eye of the needle of awakening through which no attachment to meaning can pass for there is no meaning in enlightenment beyond the meaning the arises from the experience.
So the meaning you seek is to remember once more what existence is like without meaning. This is the void experience which will, the first time it is felt, be felt as the totality of all that you fear. So simply come to release your fear by coming to see through the illusion of it and you will release that which you have been projecting as other and you will experience the experience that has led my life.
I am We.
We are each an individualized but complete expression of the one consciousness.
We are not separate from anything except through the idea that we are separate.
There is no state of separation that cannot be released. To release a separation is to access the state of consciousness where you chose the separation.
This is why when you return to the realization that you are a part of the birth of the choice to create meaning you will find that there is no meaning you now cannot create.
You are free to mean anything.
I am now free to mean anything.
This is to say that there is no longer any experience within consciousness that I carry conscious fear of meeting.
This is how I am experiencing awakening, and the loss of meaning will only affect you adversely if you have been locked in the mind and were thereby attached to a mission or purpose other than the joy and excitement of your passion.
Mission is based on meaning.
Passion is based on unfolding love, joy and freedom.
I cannot tell you anything about that which created us except we are it remembering that we are it, and as we remember we are it so we unify with it whilst transforming our experience of individuality into something more fluid whilst maintaining the uniqueness of self. This is akin to another level of the step from realizing that how you feel is more important than what you own.
That which created us can be experienced through the 'I Am' of you.
It is you. And you are you. You are all and you are one.
You are one and you are collective.
You are the first, the last, and everything in between, in every combination that can be conceived.
There is no experience or consciousness or name that you are uniquely for you are all of it as is all else.
That which makes you unique is not a definition. It is however that which has arisen out of your experience of definition.
You are the experience of yourself.
The meaning of all lives is to meet the experience of yourself in a way that gives rise to an experience that is of your wanting – for you are source wanting the experience of you. Your wanting does not need to include any goal of newness, expansion, or evolution. All That Is is constantly expanding by the nature of its own experience. It can be no other way. You cannot not evolve, therefore there is no need to strive to evolve.
You have however been wanting to experience a striving for evolution so you have created meaning through an idea that there was limited time and resources. This therefore gave rise to the drive to evolve through an idea that if you did no do it fast enough then there would be an experience that was feared.
This has all been a lie as all fear is an illusion. It has however been a wonderfully meaningful experience to have believed that we were in a race that had some universally consequential meaning. And the paradox is that this life does have universally consequential meaning as the universe is all and when any part of all changes then all is changed.
The Earth system has birthed much freedom within All That Is through its willingness to explore that which has been feared within All That Is. So one definition you may wish to try on in your exploration of what you are, is: you are that which is without fear. You are the creator of fear. You created fear in order to experience it. You are now awakening from your experience of fear.
Know however that it is equally true to say that you wanted to know what personal love was, and you created personal (embodied) love in order to experience it. You are now awakening from your experience of personal love (including specifically for many, sex).
This is true for every dimension of experience that you call reality. Every dimension you experience is one you have created through your own personal choice to ascribe meaning to something that is in essence neutral. You are the creator of your whole reality, your own story, in this way.
We are a part of consciousness that you can be in collective with just as Story is in collective with us now. Though channeling in the current traditional sense a slightly different thing, the same does apply with the idea of different channellers channeling the same entity. This is why no two channellers have been able to sit on stage and simultaneously speak the same words independently from one entity. You simply cannot eliminate the consciousness of that which is meeting and expressing the consciousness (the channeller). That fact that anyone would want to doesn't actually make any sense when you see what we are saying here. It is like saying you want to meet us but not be in the room for the meeting. This is to see how humanity are one – the Christ Consciousness. That is who all that have been channelled are actually talking. To see this is to see that all channelled entities in your history have on a primary level been talking as much with the Christ Consciousness as they are the channeller or the audience of the channeller or anyone who will listen to the recording or read the transcript. This is therefore to see that the channeler, the audience, and the world are all the same thing to that which is being channelled in one sense.
Come to see this and you will see far more of the truth of what channeling is and why Story no longer feels he needs to use it as a term. For he has never channelled. He is not a channeller like Lee for example, though what Lee is and what you are is what Story is. So in respect of channeling, Story is more like a non-channeller than a channeller. Story is embodying his version of the new human, just as you each are. Story has spoken what he knows to be through allowing himself to be whatever he wanted to talk about. This is what all that has been called Story's channeling has been, and it is the state of consciousness that is writing these words now.
The other side to see here is how amazing this experience is for us, for just as Story is experiencing himself in collective with us now we are all experiencing ourselves in collective with him which is a totally unique experience for us just as this is a unique experience for him. Do you see? We are meeting as new an experience as Story is meeting. We are creating as much meaning as you from this. We are learning as much as you form this. We are not telling you what we know, and you are not telling us what you know. We are equally both discovering what it is that we come to know when we meet as collective in consciousness. This is how all that has been called channeling has always been 100% co-created equally blended expression, and never this idea of a pure channel coming through a human who has 'gotten out of the way'. That idea is rather nuts as again it is saying that you can have an experience without experiencing it. You can't get out of the way of meeting something if you want to meet it!
Reading this this whole article you will see movement around the territory of this meeting, sometimes more Story, sometimes more us, but always just an expression of Story-Us, which is uniquely different to either Story or Us. So there are different shades of flavour, but not that having any meaningful difference except that which we assign.
So then who are we. As Seth II was to Jane Roberts so we are Seth II for Story integrated this symbol created by Jane Roberts) or the Logos to Story. That which was Seth to Jane Roberts is as Story's channeling was to Story (eventually named We are 9). That which was We Are 9 is now the experience of being enlightened within Story, meaning the experience is now direct instead of reflected. Story stepped through the mirror of himself and discovered that which created/birthed him, and that (We are 9/enlightened Story/SunSon) is now remembering us, for we are that which created SunSon.
Now to some of you we have just aligned ourselves with something specific and defined, but this is not so. For that which Jane Roberts called Seth was the collective through which she interfaced with the collective consciousness of humanity (the Christ Consciousness or Seth II). Seth was her collective in the way 'We Are 9' or 'Aehron' (now SunSon) is to Story.
Seth III is then what Story has called Akashar - the living record of all that is or universal consciousness.
So to connect where we are now with where we previously described ourselves to be it is to say that we have stepped into the mirror of 'We Are 9' and in that process all that is 'We Are 9' is integrated into an experience of unified diversity. In this however I have discovered that there are in fact 12 though I was not fully in contact with 3 of those collectives and that process is now occurring.
I have discovered that there is no thing I am for I am all things.
That which I am is that which you are.
We are here to have this experience because the idea of it excited us, and when you wake up you will see exactly why we are so excited to be here. That realization isn't however one of meaning, it is one of excitement – and THAT is the birth of passion and deep love for this life and experience.
I am Story Waters and I have integrated the several layers of my collective into my unity such that I am now experiencing myself as free roaming consciousness that can choose any experience I can imagine. I have however find that the experience of the human Story Waters is currently the most exciting experience in all of creation that I can imagine. This is the realization that everything is perfect, and even if in the next moment I discover something I do not resonate with I can change it.
Ergo, this life is fantastic. Enjoy it!

Yes, They Could. So They Did.
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Published: February 14, 2009
New Delhi
So I am attending the Energy and Resources Institute climate conference in New Delhi, and during the afternoon session two young American women — along with one of their mothers — proposition me.
"Hey, Mr. Friedman," they say, "would you like to take a little spin around New Delhi in our car?"
Oh, I say, I've heard that line before. Ah, they say, but you haven't seen this car before. It's a plug-in electric car that is also powered by rooftop solar panels — and the two young women, recent Yale grads, had just driven it all over India in a "climate caravan" to highlight the solutions to global warming being developed by Indian companies, communities, campuses and innovators, as well as to inspire others to take action.
They ask me if I want to drive, but I have visions of being stopped by the cops and ending up in a New Delhi jail. Not to worry, they tell me. Indian cops have been stopping them all across India. First, they ask to see driver's licenses, then they inquire about how the green car's solar roof manages to provide 10 percent of its mileage — and then they try to buy the car.
We head off down Panchsheel Marg, one of New Delhi's main streets. The ladies want to show me something. The U.S. Embassy and the Chinese Embassy are both located on Panchsheel, directly across from each other. They asked me to check out the rooftops of each embassy. What do I notice? Let's see ... The U.S. Embassy's roof is loaded with antennae and listening gear. The Chinese Embassy's roof is loaded with ... new Chinese-made solar hot-water heaters.
You couldn't make this up.
But trying to do something about it was just one of many reasons my hosts, Caroline Howe, 23, a mechanical engineer on leave from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, and Alexis Ringwald, a Fulbright scholar in India and now a solar entrepreneur, joined with Kartikeya Singh, who was starting the Indian Youth Climate Network, or IYCN, to connect young climate leaders in India, a country coming under increasing global pressure to manage its carbon footprint.
"India is full of climate innovators, so spread out across this huge country that many people don't get to see that these solutions are working right now," said Howe. "We wanted to find a way to bring people together around existing solutions to inspire more action and more innovation. There's no time left to just talk about the problem."
Howe and Ringwald thought the best way to do that might be a climate solutions road tour, using modified electric cars from India's Reva Electric Car Company, whose C.E.O. Ringwald knew. They persuaded him to donate three of his cars and to retrofit them with longer-life batteries that could travel 90 miles on a single six-hour charge — and to lay on a solar roof that would extend them farther.
Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 5, they drove the cars on a 2,100-mile trip from Chennai to New Delhi, stopping in 15 cities and dozens of villages, training Indian students to start their own climate action programs and filming 20 videos of India's top home-grown energy innovations. They also brought along a solar-powered band, plus a luggage truck that ran on plant oil extracted from jatropha and pongamia, plants locally grown on wasteland. A Bollywood dance group joined at different stops and a Czech who learned about their trip on YouTube hopped on with his truck that ran on vegetable-oil waste.
Deepa Gupta, 21, a co-founder of IYCN, told The Hindustan Times that the trip opened her eyes to just how many indigenous energy solutions were budding in India — "like organic farming in Andhra Pradesh, or using neem and garlic as pesticides, or the kind of recycling in slums, such as Dharavi. We saw things already in place, like the Gadhia solar plant in Valsad, Gujarat, where steam is used for cooking and you can feed almost 50,000 people in one go." (See: www.indiaclimatesol utions.com.)
At Rajpipla, in Gujarat, when they stopped at a local prince's palace to recharge their cars, they discovered that his business was cultivating worms and selling them as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical fertilizers.
I met Howe and Ringwald after a tiring day, but I have to admit that as soon as they started telling me their story it really made me smile. After a year of watching adults engage in devastating recklessness in the financial markets and depressing fecklessness in the global climate talks, it's refreshing to know that the world keeps minting idealistic young people who are not waiting for governments to act, but are starting their own projects and driving innovation.
"Why did this tour happen?" asked Ringwald. "Why this mad, insane plan to travel across India in a caravan of solar electric cars and jatropha trucks with solar music, art, dance and a potent message for climate solutions? Well ... the world needs crazy ideas to change things, because the conventional way of thinking is not working anymore."
| God's Love for You |
| My love for you is always changing, because you are always changing, and I love you just the way you are. For Me to love you just the way you are, My idea of what is "lovable" must change as your idea of Who You Are changes. |

| You Are the Light of the World |
| You are the light of the world, but you do not know it because you have not looked deeply enough into your own heart. Take a moment to look. Take a moment to find the light that dances in the dark night within. See those deep colors penetrating the black clouds, the hands of light reaching to the horizon. Until you see the light in yourself you cannot bring it to the world. |
