Visible Origami — June 18, 2017

Dog Poet Transmitting…….
I am surprised and not only because it happened (is happening) at all but because of certain elements of irony and synchronicity that have attended it. Some number of readers are seriously apprehensive, disturbed and observably suffering degrees of depression over… what?
I know the times are what they are and recent decades have been a trial for most of us because of the vibrational net of manufactured darkness that is pulsing with focused waves of negative emotions intended to transpose over our own and basically keep us in down states. I experience this myself and have been for awhile. Sometimes it’s hard to keep it up- metaphorically speaking (grin) through the day as I feel the pulses that I know must be coming from somewhere and that I know are designed for the impact they have. It puts one in a Sisyphean mind set sometimes. You keep trying to roll up and you roll down and meanwhile they’ve greased the pathway for an added loss of incentive.
The general number for the demographics of response in all areas of back and forth- forums, advertising, comments sections is 2%. This seems to hold true across the board and so when I hear from a handful of people that they are feeling down or I get statements woven out of that ‘all is lost’ fabric or, ‘it’s only a matter of time’. It makes me wonder and it makes me concerned. I want to reassure you, each and every one …and then I have to ask myself; “am I telling the truth?’ I have to wonder if I am speaking out of an informed and stable awareness, attended by certitude, as something also more than faith or… am I just trying to cheer people up prior to their putting transgender cheerleaders in front of the crowds at NFL games to take over for me… heh heh. You may be sure that the LGBTQRSUVWXRSUVWX community is already hard at work on this.
It’s a serious question; do I know what I am talking about or am I just trying to make you feel better, without having a solid basis for it? Well… in consideration of that being a serious question, I’ve been giving it a lot of thought. The truth of the matter is just as important to me as it is to you because I keep getting put through it too. The irony of the matter is that recently I was in a great deal of pain and that magnified the impact of the other upon me considerably. It caused me to act in ways I otherwise would not have done but strangely enough the result was ultimately very positive. People’s feelings got hurt, this is true and I am sorry about that but I now know that it was generated to occur for precisely the results that came out of the whole affair and the Love between me and others has not changed and will only grow stronger in time. This I am certain of and… after some amount of reflection, I can confidently announce that I am certain about the other as well.
Surely… times may get rough and tumble and many people now present may, at some point, no longer be present… here. Possibly what Albert Pike said may… in one permutation or another come to pass. That link is not posted because of any affinity I have with the writer one way or another. I didn’t even read it. It is there because what I wanted to reference is present there (I hope). I kinda feel like the attorney who got told, “Never ask a witness a question you don’t already know the answer to.” It is now a courtroom staple because of what has happened more than once when an attorney did ask a question he didn’t already know the answer to and wound up uncomfortably surprised and where it changed the course of the trial as well. This very thing happened several times at my own trial in Hawaii, where I was facing a mandatory 60 years. Tangentially I can say I understand what Samuel Johnson meant, a bit more than most; “When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.”
Surely… some of us here, possibly many of us here, are going to suffer to some degree as a result of whatever is brewing in that witches cauldron (no offense meant to witches here- it’s just in use as a image reference.). Nor is it meant as support either because I don’t know what they are up to, individually and collectively. I guess, in many cases they are just like the rest of us except they filter through that template. Then I think to myself, I’m not like anyone else and then I think, in some ways I certainly am like others. The thing is, what makes each of us unique varies and sometimes has more importance attached to it than may generally be the case and “No.” I am not talking about myself here. I’m just speaking generally (grin).
Surely… there are episodes up the road… the general circumstances of them are in play. They are to be seen on the drafting board but they are incomplete and that is the way it is in life. Certain things are meant to come to pass but how they come to pass and the actual details of them remain incomplete up until the moment when they happen. This is that gray (would it be gray?) area where the nature and details of the completion of any episode relies on the contributions that WE make and what the ineffable has in mind as to what the teaching moment is meant to contain. It relies not only on what we do but what we do not do as well.
Surely… we are using ‘surely’ a bit much but we’ve got reasons, even if we don’t know what they are. Yes… desperate hours may come, crisis points may occur and there will be watersheds and Waterloo’s a time or two (good lines for part of a song; note to self). BUT… There is an ALMIGHTY GOD. There is a force for ‘ultimate’ good in the destiny of everything that cannot be opposed in any significant way, even if all the agents and elements of evil were all collectively focused on a single objective and had the Marshall amps turned up to 11. First off, evil, by its very nature, destroys itself. Giving some amount of analytical thought to the meaning of this will provide much fruit. So… I don’t care how big and menacing the shadows become. I don’t care what appearances might threaten. Everything comes to heel before the almighty. Let me include an understanding I once came to and which, along with a few others, has held me together through the most difficult of times; It says in the Bible, “at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow.” Fundies take this to mean, ‘my way or the highway’. The truth, as usual is otherwise, while still being true. One of the reasons that Understanding is held to be co-equal with Wisdom is that when it is properly employed one can come to awarenesses that are Revelation itself. The name Jesus comes from Yeshua… Joshua as well and the intrinsic meaning of the name is liberty, or freedom. So when it is said that “at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow.” it means that before the icon and understanding of one’s own liberty and freedom all knees shall bow.
Once again I am going to insert one of the most important things ever said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.” Inscribe these words on your heart and employ their meaning to the limits of your ability and remember that this will also press those limits outward and inward to the limitless.
If you feel overwhelmed by appearances and the weakness of your own spirit, against the seeming of the evil in this world, repeat those lines to yourself and accompany them with, “If God is for me then who can be against me?” as well as, “greater is that which is in you than that which is in the world.” Every time the agents of darkness seek to bring you down, repeat these words to yourself. Every time you feel like you are so small and that there is nothing you can do, or you are getting old and you feel what was your youth and your strength fading, remind yourself of what those words state and imply. Every time you feel alone and alienated, speak to the ineffable. What are the lines of that great Christian song?
In the Garden (Jim Reeves)
“I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I’d stay in the garden with Him
‘Tho the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.”
Remind yourself of the opportunity for this. Walk into the garden yourself; into the woods… the desert, the mountains or the seashore and talk to the ineffable. The ineffable will hear you. Surely… you know this? Take the time to step aside and out of the dream of your life at every necessary time, in every moment of need. Why are you so obsessed with doing it on your own? Where did that motivation come from? Where did you get the idea that you could handle these things yourself… on your own? It has been said from generation through generation by those appointed to remind us that we must RELY ON THE INEFFABLE. “Take up your cross and follow me.” What does that mean? Once again, some inquiry will bear much fruit.
Yes… on your own… surely, you will fail and therefore you have ample reason for doubt and depression and despair. This is the source and cause of why those of you who are feeling this way are feeling this way. Think about it. Neither of these are a guarantee that you will not suffer or that you will survive. In any case, how many of us who were here (reincarnation aside) a hundred years ago are still here? But… your suffering will be shared… your burdens will be lifted by the one whose strength and power are greater than everything else that ever has been or will be.
Include the ineffable in everything you do. Proceed as if the ineffable were acting through you at all times and carry yourself in the manner that this suggests. Love the ineffable and this unites you with the ineffable’s love for you and that is exponential in potential and will actualize. Pass out of the prison house of your own self created confinement and into the freedom of the all pervasive love of the ineffable. There is nothing more I can say at this point.
End Transmission…….
