It was a hang out newly discovered for getting together, joking about the school day antics, having fun with each other, and slurping down ‘Zombies’. A zombie was a fizzy soft drink cocktail made with a combination of flavored syrups and seltzer water. Each zombie was a designer one...tailored for individual tastes. I liked a mixture of cherry, coke, and chocolate flavors while others made up their own concoctions. There was a willing ‘soda jerk’ black counter man who promoted this strange service. No other soda fountain place would offer to make this specialty fizzy. I thought unhappily about missing out on all this from my feverish sick bed. It pre-occupied my thoughts as I went in and out of sleep many times.
Within a couple of days I had recovered and was back at school...receiving a ‘cold shoulder’ from all of my friends. I couldn’t understand it. No one even asked if I was feeling better...blah, blah, blah. ‘Sure’, my really best friend told me later in the day when I got him alone, ‘you couldn’t come to school but you came to the hang out’. I denied it and became really angry for him to be ‘jerking me around’ with that nonsense. ‘Yeah’, he said, ‘and you wouldn’t even talk to any of us’. ‘You just sat at the counter looking around and wouldn’t even order a fizzy’, he finished. I was dumbfounded. Finally I found the same story from many of the guys, and the most damming one came from ‘our’ soda jerk himself. The always pleasant black man told me straight out that I wasn’t very nice to my friends when they tried to talk to me. Then he said, ‘you sure were strange that day...I put your favorite zombie in front of you thinking maybe you didn’t have any money...but you just got up and left’.
Life’s quilt, like infinity’, has no boundaries. It does have doorways and crossroads leading to different realities. Finding this dynamic in one’s own quilt (when one is ready) can bring exploration. growth, and adventure. To begin with, at the ready stage, one needs to ‘do’ nothing except be aware. Access to one’s latent abilities is a state of mind attuned to things breaking through. The conscious mind is mired in accepting limitations. The unconscious mind knows no limits. Don’t block ‘things’ coming through. Just let it happen. It does. This acceptance attitude alone opens one up to allow higher connections and consciousness.
The only guard necessary is against fear. It is indeed the ‘mind killer’. Our cultures have taught us fear and cut us off from the flow. Being positive and allowing about one’s alternate experiences defeats fear and puts one in a receptive ready- mind. We create our own illness and everything else negative through being fearful. ‘The Unconscious’ interprets fear as a command and direction’...and so will bring about one’s fears in strange ways. Hypnotherapists know very well the need to use suggestions to the subconscious in positive terms. Even the words ‘don’t’ or ‘no’ are unrecognized by the subconscious and can produce exactly the opposite results.
Knowing about this is armament. You can now take control and be aware that recognizing and practicing ‘positive’ re-enforcement’s to yourself will aid in the promotion of latent abilities. It will change your whole outlook on ‘the world’. Through ‘positive openness’ you will actually confront and pass through the erected barriers of the ‘one world view’. On the other side (which is ‘really a misnomer) awaits wisdom, excitement, consciousness enhancement, neuro-circuit openings, and even serenity. You’ll go more with your intuitive self, and that in itself attracts other dimensions. It expands your life force, re-imprints, and brings a higher realization of just who you are.
The ‘solid’ world will be seen as illusion. Even Albert Einstein said that the past, present, and future are illusion...and he in no way was a mystic. The seeming solidity of nature, space, and time are more of a ‘plastic’ and mutable quality. They all change with our habit mental constructs. Why? Because the big discovery is that there is no physical world ‘out there’. The life’s quilt we all fashion, and look at with imagination can accommodate all of this, for it is all material of self and all of our potentials.
