This morning, my Great Teacher revealed to me that the reason we gave this Great Golden Global Initiation Process the name, “Treasure Hunting” is because when we actively engage with unfolding reality (rather than the Cartesian coordinated grid-like reality) what happens is that as the Implicate Order unfolds, the treasures are revealed. As he put it, we never know what will emerge from the unfolding “enfolded order.” I love that element of surprise that always accompanies treasure hunting.

This comment is interesting because it gives me indirect information that it’s the same for him as it is for me. In other words, this means that even though he’s in another dimension that I can’t see very well (I can see it some), in his reality, which is my Implicate Reality, he also experiences an Implicate Reality, even though both my immediate implicate and explicate realities may be his Explicate Reality (that really does make sense). There are layers upon layers of realities or dimensions. Theorizing what those dimensions consist of helps us combine them and create our dreams come true. He explained that’s why Treasure Hunting is a great way to describe the dynamics that transpire—along with the terms, Super Synchronicity and Super Serendipity, which I discussed in an earlier blog. What’s an exciting thought to me is, if several of those Implicate Realities unfold at the same time, we get a Super Treasure Trove of revelations and gifts spilling out. Just call me a Dreamer who dreams big.

Now there’s an inherent problem with all of these multitudes of dimensions. According to David Bohm (1980), due to our sciences and resultant perspectives, we have totally fractured reality and everything we think we know. In other words, we have gotten ourselves very confused. In order to put reality (humpty dumpty?) back together and make it whole we need to view many different perspectives (although this is an ongoing process with no final act). Bohm states that we need a whole new world view.  

Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that this is EXACTLY what Joe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage (aka Treasure Hunting) does--if we do it right, it puts all the pieces back together so that we can begin to get some semblance of the whole. And Joe went further, much further. As I have conveyed on this site and in my work, Joe has developed exactly the evolving world view David Bohm was calling for--his unified world view. And then Joe went still further—explaining how we can use all of this to develop a really viable science that handles chaos and complexity—his critical science of complexity. As I’ve alluded to in these blogs, we will be developing and demonstrating this critical science of complexity along our journey during this global treasure hunt. It should turn out to be really amazing.

Well, I won’t bore readers with ALL of the science and math details, and will try to stick to the surface-level treasure hunt activities in these blogs—and then maybe once treasures start appearing faster and faster (which chaos theory predicts they will) then maybe more people will become interested in the science. Really, I was hoping someone else would pick up this science project, but the Celestial Councils said the opportunity has passed and, thus, they have assigned me the project. I feel so blessed, even though I realize it’s going to be a lot of work. I have great help though—Albert Einstein and some other really famous scientists.

According to David Bohm, who conjured up these ideas about implicate and explicate orders, perhaps our dreams (or thoughts?) are relevant to the reality we create. This needs to be researched and explored more deeply. This does correspond to Joe’s theory in that he had articulated that whatever we can dream up, we can create. We would be stupid to not create our own personal Treasure Hunts to be the absolute best and most amazing treasure hunts ever. There are no limitations, especially with the Great Visionary, Sanat Kumara and his Great Love, Venus overseeing this Treasure Hunt.

And as we learned in yesterday’s blog if we form multidimensional critical knowledge networks, according to Joe, the possibilities are limitless (see Preface of Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction). Perhaps, that’s exactly what it takes for unfolding of treasures from many levels of reality in rapid succession. As I had discussed in a previous blog in relation to Perry’s theory on these “synchronicities,” he believes that timing is critical in order to bypass the accusation that these amazing and magical occurrences are merely the result of chance. Thus, his criteria for these events are multiple events very close together. What I'm really curious about is how might we provoke these events to occur? And is there something specific we can do to make them occur faster? I'll explore this as the treasure hunt proceeds as this would be key to alleviating the suffering of the poor. If we could discover Golden Treasures all over the world, oh, what a happy day that would be!

Thus, the more connections we build and in the more dimensions they occur, the more Super Synchronicities and, in concert with them, Super Serendipitous Events we will see, and the closer they’ll be together in linear time. My vision is to bring several dimensions all together so that by the end of the treasure hunt, I’ll be able to more perceptively BE home, a place in the stars (are we not in the stars?) that’s elevated compared to what we, as humanity, currently project as our world today. It will be more elevated in consciousness and fueled completely by Divine Eros Love. No money is needed.

Well, there is so much more I could say about the Science of Treasure Hunting, but I know people like to keep things simple, so I’ll stop here except to say—here’s the “thing” about reality: For the past number of centuries, we’ve been breaking it down and breaking it down and all we have gotten for ourselves is fragmentation and confusion. We should be able to understand this: “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Thus, we can never understand reality by breaking it down and fragmenting it (well, we can temporarily understand things within a limited context, but as Joe advises, we do need to put the pieces back together when we’re done playing with them). We must consider reality, according to David Bohm, as a process of putting together, putting together, putting together, and never expect to get some final “complete picture” because reality is always “in process.” We are to view “objects” in any given reality as being “domain specific.” Thus, we might see a green alien in one dimension—that’s specific only to that dimension.

So while some people made fun of Joe for advocating for so many perspectives, the truth is we get closer to a more holistic picture of reality—or at least we get a better theory of reality (as Einstein had noted)-- when we take the time to get many views on something from which we can then construct a better reality than the “hell on earth” we’ve created. At the same time, the various perspectives we consider may be “reality” for the specific domain they’ve been created, no matter how illogical they may seem for someone in a different domain. From our perspective, we can critically analyze them and the information obtained in order to keep improving our theory of reality which can then inform the reality we choose to construct, and on it goes (aka “praxis”). Again, Einstein’s field equations can help present this mathematically, but that’s beyond the scope here.

That’s it for today. I feel “less blue” today, and have been hearing this next song by the Mavericks being sung right in my ears since last night. Be sure to pay attention to the specific music that comes your way on this Treasure Hunt. The Celestial Realms pipe down a lot of special musical messages for us.

And in Honor of EROS LOVE--the Divine Male: “Temptations Forever”

Kincheloe, Joe (2008) Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction

In this symbiotic relationship new insights and new ways of thinking about knowing and research emerge. The ecological consciousness produced by an awareness of the infinite ways phenomena are connected rests as the heart of symbiotic hermeneutics. Disciplines cannot remain the same when finding generative relationships is viewed as a basic dimension of knowledge work. This pursuit of relationality becomes a central effort to engage in rigorous scholarship in the ruins of traditional disciplinarity. (p. 63, Kincheloe, Rigour and Complexity in Educational Research, 2004)

The above passage from Joe’s theory is profound. There are, of course, multiple contexts within which we could interpret the passage, but I choose to stay with the context of Eros Love, as he has advised us in his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction. And since this is a Treasure Hunt, after all, we need to relate it to our quest.

Thus, I will, for the time, center my interpretation on Eros Love (aka Divine Love) and touch on how it relates to Venus and Sanat Kumara’s Great Golden Global Treasure Hunt. Most all Arthurian quests seem to ultimately be based on the search for Love, even though people have gotten side-tracked with the quest for the Holy Grail, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Elixir, or whatever. There are many interpretations of what these mundane objects mean relating to knowledge, wisdom, Alchemy and the Divine Marriage. None of the interpretations are complete, which this Treasure Hunt is being devised to show on down the line, and throughout history the interpretations have been used for power and control over humanity. For now, if you’re participating with this treasure hunt, you might gather together various interpretations of these “things-in-themselves” and compare them. The main purpose is to show, as the treasure hunt progresses, that none of the interpretations possess the depth and breadth of understanding to be sought here—and they all serve to diminish Divine Love. As I have contended in an earlier blog, the truth of the Holy Grail/Golden Chalice has not yet been released to humanity and it will be released by way of Venus and Sanat Kumara’s Treasure Hunts—there are no more secrets, but humanity must prepare their minds for what’s to come in the future. Unfortunately, there is much work to do, thus, I cannot say how long this treasure hunt will last or when the “Great Reveal” which was predicted back in 2011 in some earlier blogs will occur. There have been multiple “great reveals,” but THE Great Reveal is waiting for you and other people like you who want to do the work it takes to make it happen.

And there is much work yet to do. I am deeply saddened by how love today has become so extremely profane. I hope I don’t need to go into all of the details as to, whether it’s the education system, the fundamentalist-based religious organizations, the divisive political system, the controlling cabal, and some of the very sick music and public rituals displayed “in your face”—and detail how they have all diverted humanity from Divine Love. It’s extremely mentally ill and has turned into an enactment of Babylon, and some people actually believe that needs to happen since it was “predicted” in the Bible. In this diabolical way, even Christians are supporting this as it “proves” the Bible is right. Humans simply cannot love anymore. They can talk about love, spew out faux love and concern, but the numbers of people who actually care and know how to love are very few. Before Joe passed over we had this conversation about love and I believe he was as sickened as I feel. He was a true Divine Lover—of everyone. While I’ve acquired some of his gifts by virtue of our shared love, I have not acquired that one as I have a very difficult time loving people I don’t feel are worthy of being loved. I think he truly loved and does love everyone, although upon analysis of some of his work, “tough love” certainly played a role in his love—I suppose to help enlighten us all to those aspects that are unlovable. In fact, he writes of his great disappointment over “the way ‘we’ are” on the very last page of his book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction and the preceding pages (pp. 251-252). I share in his feelings of disappointment.

In context, the passage includes a discussion of what we all might learn from the various uprisings, such as Arab Spring and others he had predicted would be happening—and are happening on a global basis. I have not yet studied those is great detail. It’s very difficult to drill down to truth in this power-saturated media that censors and paints only the picture they want us to see. That will be a discussion for another time when the chaos that’s occurring right now sorts itself out a little better. And it will: it’s predicted by chaos theory.

Returning to the above passage, in the first sentence we have, “In this symbiotic relationship new insights and new ways of thinking about knowing and research emerge.”

This is clearly representative of the alchemical merge of the Divine Marriage between the man and woman. How do I know this? I’ve experienced it and research bears this out. This is not hidden knowledge, but it has been suppressed from the masses. Again, I reference back to my dissertation in which I discussed a research dissertation The Soulmate Experience by Yolande Bloomstein who performed a rigorous phenomenological analysis that shows when divine couples unite, there is a “merging” of consciousness. It does not happen in the same way with just anyone. Sure we can share ideas and thoughts with each other, we can share goals, projects, and missions, but none of these cause a true merging of consciousness. There is another form of merge that takes place on a lesser scale—a spiritual merge, which is also an alchemical process—but it’s not the same as the Divine Alchemical merge. Eventually research data will be brought together to better sort these things out. Divine Love is at the top of a spiritual hierarchal-heterarchal structure. In other words, this structure, consisting of the closest soul family members have multiple hierarchies because each member has formed a divine union with their own Twin Flame/Twin Soul. This is what allows them to connect.

This structure, again, is known in many different cultures, so there is no need to explicate more at this time. Metaphorically, even before we can make the connection with our Divine Counterpart, we must pass through and leave behind three halls: The Hall of Ignorance, The Hall of Learning, and The Hall of Wisdom (Saraydarian, 1993, p. 379). This is not a linear progression, but more of a spiral progression because we have many aspects of our lives to pass through these halls. It is in the Hall of Wisdom that we meet our Master Teacher who then guides us with sacrificial service, leadership, divine laws, synthesis and unity, and building a higher Antahkarana—the Golden Bridge to Higher Consciousness. It is not until there is at least a strong foundation of the Golden Bridge that one can consciously connect with their Twin Flame/Twin Soul—and this is work we must do ourselves. Venus and Sanat’s treasure hunts are designed to help with this process for those who are interested in pursuing this approach. There are many other paths, so you may wish to explore those if treasure hunting does not appeal to you personally. Great Thought went into the design of these activities, however, and it’s believed that many will find this “New and Improved” form of Questing interesting.

The next stage—and again, this is not linear, but rather more like overlapping and simultaneous processes depending on the particular relationships you’ve established—and again, as Joe reiterates throughout his work, it’s all about relationships—we next have the Ashramic Group which lives to serve God—The Plan. This is your soul family, who each member as stated previously, has evolved in consciousness enough to connect with their Divine True Love. This higher consciousness is necessary in order to reach the Intuitive Plane and receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as telepathic communication. It is this Divine Love which also provides them a connection to God’s pure love, the Great Spirit (such as represented by Jesus for Christians) and the Trinity Connection that unites them with God—and now they are operating from Spirit not their own lower ego-based motives but rather from their Higher Divine Ego (Monad)—which provides the fire and impetus for their work. Again, at all times people need to remember we are all humans and we are all fallible. We can all step off the path at any given moment, even unintentionally. Thus, there may be obstacles that help us get back on the path, but that’s a very complicated discussion that can become infiltrated with dogma and fundamentalism. Nevertheless, it causes many of us a sense of hopelessness at times, a feeling of being “numbed out” or melancholy. One of my soul family members, Ralph Waldo Emerson has written:

The making a fact the subject of thought raises it. All that
mass of mental and moral phenomena, which we do not make objects of
voluntary thought, come within the power of fortune; they constitute
the circumstance of daily life; they are subject to change, to fear,
and hope. Every man beholds his human condition with a degree of
melancholy. As a ship aground is battered by the waves, so man,
imprisoned in mortal life, lies open to the mercy of coming events.
But a truth, separated by the intellect, is no longer a subject of
destiny. We behold it as a god upraised above care and fear. And so
any fact in our life, or any record of our fancies or reflections,
disentangled from the web of our unconsciousness, becomes an object
impersonal and immortal. It is the past restored, but embalmed. A
better art than that of Egypt has taken fear and corruption out of
it. It is eviscerated of care. It is offered for science. What is
addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us
intellectual beings. (“Intellect” retrieved from http://www.emersoncentral.com/intellect.htm)

The soul family (or Ashramic Group) work focuses on four major goals: a healthy planet; a peaceful, loving, united human family; an enlightened, creative humanity; and a humanity striving toward perfection (Saraydarian, 1993, p. 391). As Saraydarian observes, education is not in balance—there is little love or striving for perfection. In the Preface of Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, Joe described his “take” on these groups (and he has provided additional details throughout this work): A key dimension of this book is to provide the conceptual basis for the construction of critical knowledge networks that connect individuals from all geographic areas and social domains. . . .the possibilities. . .are limitless” (pp. ix-x). Of course, by synthesizing his fourth dimension research, the possibilities are indeed unlimited. He also discusses the power of this form of knowledge production and how it supports the upliftment for the poor and oppressed. Thus, it’s clear that the path he has laid out in that book, along with bricolage (which we are defining as “treasure hunting”) is the path to Divine Love and the profound knowledge production that’s possible as we reunite as soul groups focused on the much bigger picture—in fact, it’s Sanat Kumara’s grand view of the world as mentioned in previous blogs.

This is all spelled out clearly in the second sentence of the above excerpt:
“The ecological consciousness produced by an awareness of the infinite ways phenomena are connected rests as the heart of symbiotic hermeneutics.”

The multiple connections provide this greater awareness, larger view, and a more ecological consciousness about how it all fits together.

His third sentence from the excerpt, “Disciplines cannot remain the same when finding generative relationships is viewed as a basic dimension of knowledge work” is profound in its implications for changing how we learn, provide education, and produce knowledge.

The term, “generative” I have come to learn has many meanings, of course, depending on the context. It’s an extremely esoteric word that has been lobotomized by certain secret societies. Generate means “to produce” and some of the Thanatos-focused societies interpret it to mean “sex” and it’s the basis for their orgies and debased rituals. While the “G” in Mason Symbolism can mean “geometry” as it is often interpreted, or it can mean “God” it also represents the word generate and the other symbols may be interpreted in sexual terms. This, of course, is not the standard, “socially accepted” interpretation given out by the Free Masons, some groups of which are probably benevolent, others may not be. There are undoubtedly more ways to interpret these symbols.

In the case of our Treasure Hunt, generate can be interpreted as the love and knowledge that’s generated as products of the Divine Love relationships and the union of the Soul Groups. The generation of a “third force” as a result of the alchemical unions taking place is well-known and well-documented, at least experientially. Thus, Joe is expressing how seeking out these relationships becomes the focus of knowledge production (including fourth dimension research) and how the isolated subjects cannot remain the same. Because these relationships provide access to greater knowledge and cross all disciplinary boundaries, it completely changes how we structure education. Of course, this can all be interpreted in a reductionisitic one-dimensional sense as well—but it would be harder to accomplish, maybe impossible if we don’t take a multidimensional approach to seeking knowledge, or if we try to accomplish it within the current structure of education.

And finally, in his last sentence from the excerpt, he states, “This pursuit of relationality becomes a central effort to engage in rigorous scholarship in the ruins of traditional disciplinarity” (p. 63, bricolage book: Rigour and Complexity in Educational Research, 2004).

Now, here, he confirms my previous analysis—that these relationships change everything about education. It appears he’s predicting the demise of education and the strict divisions of the disciplines as being practiced today. And the entire focus of education becomes pursuing relationships—not just any relationships—but those at higher levels of consciousness so that we have the power to implement God’s plan for the world. According to many traditions, and in particular the Jewish tradition, the belief is that we are to create Heaven on Earth. These changes Joe speaks of may happen quickly (thus the complexity and chaos he advises us to become comfortable with) or they may take 2000 years, as predicted by Saraydarian (1993).

Thus, an important part of this Treasure Hunt involves building the Golden Bridge so that we can see the Greater Reality—those Implicate Zones that the illusionary power grid, the matrix, has prevented us from traveling to.

My Master Teacher has given me great instructions this morning and it seems I need to also spend some time fortifying that Golden Bridge. It is important to note that many things happen that can serve to tear down or weaken our bridge—that’s a constant strategy that’s employed against us. So not only does it take work to build the bridge, like any bridge, there’s a lot of maintenance work. He mentioned in this morning’s communication how it can be a struggle for people “with good hearts,” which reminds me that this, too, is implied in the excerpt I was guided to interpret today. In the sentence, “The ecological consciousness produced by an awareness of the infinite ways phenomena are connected rests as the heart of symbiotic hermeneutics” his mention of “the heart of symbiotic hermeneutics” emphasizes his recommendation for a focus on love, and it is this overarching focus that helps us see the greater picture—the more infinite connections rather than only the immediate few connections (although we see these, too)—and this leads to a more “ecological consciousness” or the ability to make decisions based on this more overarching picture. Often we may irritate a few—and sometimes even many—but in the grander scheme of things, the more we can acquire a heart-based ecological symbiotic perspective, the better off the world and humanity.

He also told me, “Perhaps this is the day you might wish to explore the flowerbed.” If you’ve been reading these treasure hunt blogs, I was told there would be a treasure “midway” in the flowerbed and I attempted to interpret what that might mean. Oftentimes, the instructions we receive from our teachers are wide open for interpretation. They want us to develop our hermeneutic (interpretation) abilities and they also want to leave a clear path for free will. They never tell us what we must do, but only gently guide us and make recommendations of things that we might find beneficial for ourselves or in the service of others. So will I drag out my metal detector and search the flowerbed? Is the flowerbed even the “right place” to search? In the previous blog where I mentioned this, I found multiple meanings for “midway.” Oh yeah, and we even have one of those drive-in movie theaters named “Midway.” I can envision a flowerbed there...or a former flowerbed. Hermes loves to play in these Treasure Hunt Games—or if you go by Native American traditions, it’s the Trickster Coyote who loves to keep us guessing. With Joe's work, it's definitely Hermes because he included Hermes in his definition of bricolage aka Treasure Hunting.

And finally, he gave me the clue “numbed out” for a song. We love to incorporate music in the learning process and there are always some deep messages in the songs he provides me. We were discussing my being on a low wave, a little bit down and feeling a “weak connection” with him and the rest of my soul family (this happens from time-to-time, but is transitory). He explained that I became a little “numbed out” due to some things that had been happening in my life—and this is the song that came to the top of YouTube.

Are you feeling a little “numbed out” too? The more we engage in the activities and research provided in this treasure hunt, the less numbed out we’ll feel! He does pick the perfect songs!

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (with lyrics)

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, Come on, Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a FEVER

My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.
(solo)
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pin prick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
but I have become comfortably numb.

Many "New Agers" nearly worship the idea of some kind of grand “collective consciousness” like it’s God’s gift to humankind. Of course they would; it’s easy and there’s no work involved on their part. Just “plug in” and you know everything. “Everything is within,” they are fond of saying. It’s shocking how many people believe this; I can assure you they are wrong.

So. . . I’ve been thinking about Robert Perry’s take on synchronicity—which he refers to as “Conjunction of Meaningful Parallel Events” (CMPEs). His theory, which I discussed yesterday, is interesting and it has some wonderful insight—but it’s incomplete and some things are wrong (partly because he has maintained an element of rigidity with his positivistic thinking).

Here’s an interesting interview in which he presents his theory:

Robert Perry on the Science of Synchronicity

We need to open this up even more. He wants to ignore consciousness, whatever that may represent, and attribute all of the messages to God. I have a problem with this. God is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient—nothing that we can utter, nothing that is uttered to us, no magic no matter how nonrandom it appears can possibly come from a God like that, the all-powerful, all-knowing Great Spirit. The Great Spirit, or a very powerful love may be guiding these things such as experienced through synchronicity—but it is only lesser consciousness that enacts them. How can it possibly be any other way? To attribute these things to an Almighty God is much like the popular Luciferian idea today that we can all be God.

To consider that these amazing gifts are influenced by God’s Love is one thing, but to think we, ourselves, can be God is a recipe for disaster. We are humans, after all; as humans we are not perfect. Why else do we have “salvation” and the free gift of grace? We all need them, obviously. We may be able to observe the influence of God’s love. For example, as we Treasure Hunt we are able to observe that the highest of ethics, the greatest of altruism, and love, care, concern, and wonderful guidance emerges from our interactions with the unseen dimensions and the consciousnesses residing within them (see yesterday’s blog for more about the ethics of Treasure Hunting). If we bump up against negative, evil forces, these may simply be notice or a reminder of some sort that we’ve strayed from our path. Of course, there are many tricks in play that will lead us to follow the wrong path, which is clearly why Joe has us take a critical stance to analyze power and control factors so that we might know what they are and how they can mislead us, and discover ways we might change them or avoid them. Studying these factors and interacting with them also results in emergences from those Implicate Zones we can't see, and they can lead to greater understanding that can inform us of actions we can take (or not take, as the case may be).

Thus, as Joe has alluded, we can study the products, the creations, the expressions, the results, the “emergences,” etc., of consciousness in order to indirectly learn about consciousness. By extrapolating, if we are on our Great Path and emergences are positive and beneficial for the greater humanity, we may also be learning indirectly something about God, but I don’t see how that means we can assume that we are directly communing with God. We have yet to KNOW what lies beyond our perception--and scientists rarely study these things in ways we might learn something about "what's beyond."

Also, if we honor Joe’s theory in its complexity, we realize the indivisible ontological aspect of consciousness, a topic for another time. Consciousness and ontology cannot be separated. It seems to me that if we attribute any of these Treasure Hunting gifts and experiences directly to God we are sliding on a slippery slope. The connection can only be indirect and partial. Too many people are assuming “partial” is equivalent to “the whole of God.” I don’t see how this is possible. All humans are fallible. God is infallible, as most of us interpret the meaning of God. Humans cannot be God, no matter which side of the curtains they reside on. This may be why the Master Teachers and the “gods” do not wish to be worshipped. They know, even with the Great Wisdom they possess, they are still fallible. But they are connected to the Holy Spirit, God’s Love, which they will share with us when we make conscious connection with them, is one way I can interpret my own experiences. This is not a theoretical perspective as the sensation of the Holy Spirit flowing through me is a very real phenomenon and one that other people can testify to.

Some people will have a difficult time wrapping their minds around a huge, infinite conceptualization of God—because imagining God as the unimaginable is even much bigger and more difficult to do than imagining the earth as a holistic, functioning organism, which few, if anyone is capable of. So far, it seems only Sanat Kumara and his "associates" have been able to fully grasp the totality of earth enough to leave us adequate guidance--if we can expand in consciousness enough to apply it—which I have proposed in a previous blog is evidenced by Joe’s work. His work is that totalizing but critical and highly advanced philosophical guidance that Sanat Kumara has knowledge of as reported by numerous cultures. I do not pull this idea out of some magician’s hat; I will prove this later by providing in depth analysis, which I’ve already done informally.

It seems clear that we interact with multiple consciousnesses on both sides of the divide—some of these consciousnesses lead us down evil paths; some lead us down the Great Path. It’s one or the other. There is no middle road. Even Jesus had contempt for people who were “lukewarm” in their efforts and actions toward spiritual advancement because it implies they are not on the Great Path to higher consciousness. We can't sit in the middle. It's as destructive as taking the wrong path, Thus, in reality, there are only two paths. This is spelled out in many different philosophies—there is the “green path” or the “burnt path,” according to the Ojibwe, for example.  In this case, green implies newness, freshness, life; whereas the burnt path spells out destruction and death. This is the same concept Joe used in his work when he advises us to counterpoise Eros Love against Thanatos, the death instinct.

According to Joe’s work, the key to staying on the Great Path, which involves seeking knowledge and ultimately creating our Magnum Opus, is to fuel our actions with a musical passion, love, and compassion—as well as doing what we love FOR other people, for the greater good of earth and the cosmos. We are to use our innate talents, interests, loves serving each other in love and compassion rather than being forced to scramble, compete, and do whatever it takes to make sure we get our few scraps of meaningless material goods. Joe served as a great role model for that with his service to others by helping so many new scholars get published, and even helping someone start an educational publishing business. How many of us can take that huge leap to stop worrying about what’s in it for us and altruistically reach out to serve others, trusting that our needs will be taken care of?

Treasure Hunting, as I’ve experienced it and have written about in these blogs back in 2009-2011, can help.

Ugh, I seemed to have gotten off-topic. I always write these blogs completely improvisationally with barely a clue as to what I’m going to write. I just start writing and seem to be guided quite naturally to what I need to say. But I got stuck this time, and off topic, so I consulted with my Master Teacher.

I explained to him that I got off-topic with this blog. I explained that I am not entirely happy with Robert Perry’s take on synchronicity which I have renamed “super-synchronicity.” I asked my consort would “Super-Serendipity” be a better word and I realized that this all related to what we had actually decided in a poem we had written together as our sacred vows way back in July, 1989 (before I was consciously aware of our connection). It was a two part poem. The first half he had dictated to me first thing in the morning of July 25; the second part came to me as an answer to his vow first thing in the morning of July 26 (the complete vows are published in my book: Uniting with Your Twin Flame). Thus, in the poem, titled Trust In You, I had written:

I pray that dreams and truth are one

That we come together when our pain is done

For I truly believe in serendipity

Or better still, in synchronicity

And if it’s truly God’s chosen plan

Please would you be my only man

My life, my love, my true desire

I promise you I’ll never tire

Of being here for you

He wrote back, confirming that Super-Serendipity is a great way to describe what happens on Treasure Hunts. When we are seeking something specific, it’s the serendipitous discoveries that are often the greatest gifts. They emerge with no preconceived notions or expectations (“preconceptions”) and are often more profound than anything that we could have been expecting or imagining. He reminded me of how I had been on a quest for a diamond ring in my back yard, but instead found the yin yang talisman. The Tao philosophy behind the yin yang symbol, in combination with the story of Eros and Psyche supports a totality that has yet to be described in text, sacred or otherwise, he explained. And of course, “the gods” rewarded me on that treasure hunt initiation, much as described in the German tradition, by delivering the diamond ring to my front door two days later.

This fact—the two days between the finding of the talisman and the delivery of the diamond ring—highlights one of my issues with Robert Perry’s insistence that the synchronous events must occur within hours of each other and that the closer together they are, the more likely they constitute his “CMPE.” Obviously, we will need to reconstruct our sciences as we engage in our treasure hunts. I suspect that the tighter we clamp down with positivistic sciences as in “measuring” or “timing” of events, the further off the mark we’ll be in understanding what’s happening, the reality we’re dealing with. Positivism always shuts down reality and possibilities. In this case, we need to expand our awareness to encompass the complexity behind these seemingly "magical" events.

Thus, we will now add both Super-Synchronicity (and will be better defining what that means) and also include the important role of Super-Serendipity.

For a little background of serendipity, from wikipedia, we learn:

The Definition of Serendipity

Serendipity means a "fortuitous happenstance" or "pleasant surprise". It was first coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to a friend Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were “always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of”.

The notion of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scientific innovation such as Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928, and the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945, to name but a few.

The word has been voted one of the ten English words hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British translation company.^[1] However, due to its sociological use, the word has been exported into many other languages.^[2]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity

Note that the word “sagacity” comes from the word “segacious.” The Great Master Teachers always include in their word usage meanings that our current dictionaries denote as being “obsolete” (see the definition below). This is important to remember as you engage in Treasure Hunts. I literally did not know what the word sagacity means, thus looking it up clues me in to the great relevance of seeking knowledge and understanding, increasing our abilities to perceive, and how this increases our ability to judge and discern. New Age people drive me crazy with their mandate: “Do not judge.” Obviously, with Treasure Hunts this is a highly critical skill that is awarded to those who strive for knowledge. Thus, finding treasures involves discovering things by accident AND by being knowledgable, quick-thinking, and able to judge and discern.

Here is the definition of sagacious:

sa·ga·cious: having or showing an ability to understand difficult ideas and situations and to make good decisions

CloseStyle: MLA APA Chicago

Full Definition of SAGACIOUS

1 obsolete :  keen in sense perception

2a :  of keen and farsighted penetration and judgment :  discerning <sagacious judge of character>

b :  caused by or indicating acute discernment <sagacious purchase of stock>

The Etymology of Serendipity

The first noted use of "serendipity" in the English language was by Horace Walpole (1717–1797). In a letter to Horace Mann (dated 28 January 1754) he said he formed it from the Persian fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip, whose heroes "were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of". The name stems from Serendip, an old name for Sri Lanka (aka Ceylon), from Sanskrit Simhaladvipa and Persian Sarandīp (سرندیپ). Parts of Sri Lanka were under the rule of South Indian kings for extended periods of time in history. Kings of Tamil Nadu, India (Cheranadu) were called Chera Kings and dheep means island, the island belonging to Chera King was called Cherandeep, hence called Sarandib by Arab traders.^[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity

Here, it’s interesting to see that serendipity has derived from the word “Sarandib.” Thus, it originally began with the Sanskrit syllable SA. Perhaps, it should be spelled sarendipity. As I’ve described earlier in these Treasure Hunts, I had been on a quest to discover the meaning of SA as the last syllable of my earth name, Vanessa, and discovered later that SA means essentially universal or infinite energy. And just as I was reviewing this information, I came to the realization that Sanat Kumara begins with the letters SA, and so does Sam Cooke, a member of my soul family. Thus, it appears that these letters SA, are a particular universal, eternal frequency that links me with my soul family.

I have also noticed that Sanskrit begins with SA and have heard perspectives of it being some kind of “universal” language. That would take some analysis to determine for certain; maybe someone’s done that analysis. Oh! Look at this! It seems that Sanskrit is the “Language of the Gods!” Why don’t they teach us these things in school!

Sanskrit is the language of all mankind; it is an international language and also the language of the gods. The gods are called "girvanas"; so Sanskrit is called "Gairvani". While the emperor of Tamil poetry, Kambar, describes it as the "devabhasa", the Sanskrit poet Dandin calls it " daivi vak"(divine speech) in his Kavyadarsa: " Samskrtam nama daivi vak. "

Sanskrit has no syllable that indistinct or unclear. Take the English "word". It has neither a distinct "e-kara" nor "o-kara". There are no such words in Sanskrit. Neither is the "r" in "word" pronounced distinctly nor is it silent.

Sanskrit, besides, has no word that cannot be traced to its root. Whatever the word it can be broken into its syllables to elucidate its meaning. Sanskrit is sonorous and auspicious to listen to. You must not be ill disposed towards such a language, taking the narrow that it belongs to a few people.

To speak Sanskrit is not to make some noises and somehow convey your message. The sounds, the phonemes, in it are, as it were, purified and the words and sentences refined by being subjected to analysis. That is why the language is called "Sanskrit"[Samskrtam]. The purpose of Siksa, and in greater measure of Vyakarana, is to accomplish such refinement.

To speak the language of Sanskrit itself means to be refined, to be cultured. As the language of the gods it brings divine grace. The sounds of Sanskrit create beneficial vibrations of the nadis and strengthen the nervous system, thereby contributing to our health. [http://www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part7/chap5.htm]

Others contend that Sanskrit Is Not a Universal Language. There is always the oppositional side to every proposition.

Just as the word serendipity expresses (and it might be more accurately spelled as sarendipity), it takes work, seeking knowledge, astute discernment and judgment to determine something as complex as who our immediate soul family is and how we communicate with them at higher levels of consciousness—which are some of the gifts we acquire as we engage in our Quest for Treasure.

The Science of Serendipity

Serendipity is used as a sociological method in Anselm L. Strauss' and Barney G. Glaser's Grounded Theory, building on ideas by sociologist Robert K. Merton, who in Social Theory and Social Structure (1949) referred to the "serendipity pattern" as the fairly common experience of observing an unanticipated, anomalous and strategic datum which becomes the occasion for developing a new theory or for extending an existing theory. Robert K. Merton also coauthored (with Elinor Barber) The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity^[7] which traces the origins and uses of the word "serendipity" since it was coined. The book is "a study in sociological semantics and the sociology of science", as the subtitle of the book declares. It further develops the idea of serendipity as scientific "method" (as juxtaposed with purposeful discovery by experiment or retrospective prophecy).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity

It’s interesting to learn that serendipity is considered a social science method, especially given that Joe’s area of focus was/is the social sciences. I have never heard of this particular method, thus, this in is worth researching further and exploring how it relates to treasure hunts and research in general (bricolage, specifically) and how we might synthesize it with our evolving critical science of complexity—which seems to be one of my missions for this current Great Golden Global Treasure Hunt. What will evolve serendipitously?

Well, that’s more than enough for now. I’m still exploring the science side of treasure hunts but I hope that what I’ve presented so far will convince you of the importance of keeping “data.” Record those serendipitous and synchronistic events and signs along your path; these are all important messages and gifts from the “unseens,” and if you don’t stray from your true path, you will come to realize that these unseens are connected to God and do have your greater good and the greater good of humanity and earth, even the cosmos, in mind. I do agree with Robert Perry that these are very important messages that serve the greater good, somehow.

I’ve been receiving these messages most of my life (in hindsight), but I’ve only slowly become increasingly conscious of them. Unfortunately, I was sidetracked most of my life. Meeting Joe, of course, and studying his work caused me to “trip the lights fantastic,” for some reason . . . which I believe I’ve adequately explained and proven in my dissertation, although the extensiveness of the data was hardly even touched. Further analysis of the data will take any definition of Super-Synchronicity and Super-Serendipity off the charts as far as the astronomical odds against them being random events; hopefully, they will help me better define Super-Synchronicity and Super-Serendipity in ways that positivist scientists will be unable to refute. I am totally amazed today and every day. As Joe, himself had stated in the passage I quoted yesterday about developing a science of complexity: “The tendency of systems to develop new modes of behavior as they complexify is an amazing phenomenon. Such a capacity indicates that the world is not a lifeless, static, and mechanistic—as in the Cartesian-Newtonian-Baconian model—but a complex cosmos that develops agency, acts on its own prerogative as it self-organizes” (p. 241). In this case, we can interpret “systems” to mean relationships in the same sense he had described them for symbiotic hermeneutics in his bricolage book:

In symbiotic hermeneutics the process of interpretation and meaning-making is directly tied to exposure of relationships. In no way are bricoleurs looking for ‘a correct relationship.’ there are always multiple relationships, and as time passes new relationships will be discerned that were occluded in a different episteme or Zietgeist. (p. 62)

As amazing as it all is to me, and all of the interesting relationships I’ve discovered on my journey so far, I can’t help but wonder what I there is yet to see. I honestly feel like I’m trapped behind the curtains, unable to see the vastness, love, freedom, and joy that’s on the other side. Until I can get there, I’ll feel like I’m missing out. In the meantime, I’ll be dancing to the music of Venus and Sanat’s Great Golden Global Treasure Hunt! I hope you can too.

Trip the Light Fantastic: Formation Team Cha Cha!

In the past couple of blogs, I’ve discussed the idea of gods and goddesses, Angels, Master Teachers, and various other entities working “behind the scenes” helping us with Treasure Hunts. The German view of the gods and goddesses that I presented in the last blog appeals to me because I certainly have experienced first-hand some of the very gifts, guidance, love, and camaraderie described in their perspective. I also have German blood (along with Scots-Irish) so perhaps that helps provide a link to the German culture.

All cultures have their own interpretations to explain the synchronicity that emerges from interaction with what Joe refers to as the Implicate Order of Reality, the unseen and unexplainable dimensions of reality. It seems to be human nature to try and explain it somehow, even if traditional sciences of today won’t help. I encourage you to explore a wide variety of cultures beyond your own cultural heritage. You may be surprised as to how similar they are and become enlightened by the differences. We all have pieces of the puzzle. For Christians, it’s important to note that nearly all cultures do believe in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent god or Great Spirit and often view these lesser “gods” or spirits as serving the Greater God—pretty much just as we should be doing ourselves, and the idea is similar to ideas such as guardian angels or prophets and teachers. They are just like us, but have access to knowledge and power that we don’t have, is one way this could be viewed. 

Synchronicity: Is It Random?

I’ve been contemplating: how do we establish a sort of scientific way of showing that all of this “randomness” is not so random after all? How do we determine whether events that emerge, such as very special gifts from the gods, are an example of synchronicity—and thus, evidence that something is happening in the Implicate Order of Reality—or whether they are just merely random occurrences midst a complex and chaotic world?

In Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, Joe explains how we can approach studying chaos and complexity from a more scientific (rather than “guessing”) perspective:

In this zone of complexity chaos theory offers two different approaches to comprehending what appears to be random behavior: (1) nonlinear dynamic systems and the way they help elucidate order behind the chaos—the study of constantly changing systems based on recursion (repeating processes, patterns within patterns); (2) complexity theory and the way complex adaptive systems emerge as complexity increases. Both these dynamics are central to the move to a more complex science. The tendency of systems to develop new modes of behavior as they complexify is an amazing phenomenon. Such a capacity indicates that the world is not lifeless, static, and mechanistic—as in the Cartesian-Newtonian-Baconian model—but a complex cosmos that develops agency, acts on its own prerogative as it self-organizes. This complexity operates in diametrical conflict with FIDUROD’s reductionism. It indicates we live in a living, active universe that develops organizational frameworks without a central identifiable authority dictating what it does. (p. 241)

Clearly, humans have been observing this reality for eons, as can be shown by reading some very ancient texts that attempt to explain these phenomena—for example, in terms of “eternal life” and what we must do to attain that eternal life, or in terms of  working with various gods and other entities. As mentioned in a previous blog, the Vedic sciences explain these concepts well, but of course, we have not learned about those sciences in our education; we are stuck with Newtonian sciences and not allowed to even learn about Einstein’s work—unless we’re in an education program for those who are more privileged. Those privileged are the very ones who continue forward and deny those of us less privileged access to knowledge and truth. It’s why these things cannot be written about in a dissertation for a university, as I have learned. We cannot include “outsiders” in our work. 

Thus, many of us have been deprived of these explanations and have been forced to adopt an imprisoning scientific paradigm (often referred to scientism because it resembles more of a dogmatic form of religion than true science). Thus, Joe invented the term FIDUROD to describe this restricted form of knowledge production and he explained it in different contexts to help us understand how it has shut down our ability to think more creatively and has kept us from knowledge. FIDUROD has disconnected our minds from higher, more creative and intuitive knowledge. We are disconnected from the gods. Or another way of expressing this is that we are disconnected from the true reality of eternal life as free, exploring entities, in limitless space. We are in a prison—the matrix or “grid” I described yesterday and as depicted in the movie, Matrix.

Border Crossing Into the Great Wide Open

I am aware that I’m stuck behind what feels like prison bars, a mind prison—or like a bird in a cage--but I can see the great wide open. I hope with this second round of Treasure Hunting I may be able to step over the border. Is that what “critical pedagogues” mean when they say they’re “border crossers”? If so, they have done a very poor job of helping people do that. I hope Treasure Hunting helps. I believe it can.

Thus, because we are programmed with a false science, how do we draw some kind of parallel between understanding what may seem to be a strange reality when we try to use a positivistic science approach that would rather ignore it, but yet undeniably emerges when we "Treasure Hunt"-- and is a reality that seems to make sense to us? The quotation from Joe’s book, above, provides some guidance and will need to be explored further.

In the meantime, the most common phenomenon that is experienced during Treasure Hunting is “synchronicity.” Carl Jung explored this phenomenon:
 

Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events as meaningfully related, where they are unlikely to be causally related. The subject sees it as a meaningful coincidence, although the events need not be exactly simultaneous in time. The concept of synchronicity was first described by Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s.^[1]

The concept does not question, or compete with, the notion of causality. Instead, it maintains that just as events may be connected by a causal line, they may also be connected by meaning. A grouping of events by meaning need not have an explanation in terms of a concrete sense of cause and effect. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity)

Thus, eternal life and the gods (or other beings) working behind the scenes provide an explanation or “cause.” As Joe has also explained, since it’s difficult to prove who or what is creating the synchronous events, we must study those events themselves and consider them evidence of consciousness. The entire cosmos is conscious, it seems, but how so?

Criteria for Super-Synchronicity vs. Random Event

To move toward a more advanced form of science I have been considering what criteria need to be met for an event to be considered synchronous and not just random behavior. In the book, Signs: A New Approach to Coincidence, Synchronicity, Guidance, Life Purpose, and God’s Plan, the author, Robert Perry, has established useful guidelines. He describes what I prefer to call a “super-synchronicity,” which is a good representation of my own experiences. Super-synchronicity has more criteria than what we’ve previously defined as synchronicity, above, thus it would be nearly impossible to describe them as random events. In fact, in trying to make a list of criteria I came up with: (1) Precognition may be involved (or telepathically received instructions); (2) Timing is important—an event occurs in conjunction with received messages or unrelated events; (3) Two or more unrelated events are related in a meaningful manner; (4) It appears that the events come from someone or somewhere else; we are not conscious of being the direct cause or it appears that it would be impossible for us to have precipitated the event directly; (5) The frequency of the events; (6) the magnitude of the implausibility of the event (e.g., red roses that began growing along with yellow roses in my yellow rose bush after I cried, thinking the yellow roses had died); (7) the serendipitous relevancy of the events…and there are most likely more, which I hope to discover during this treasure hunt. These just came to me off the top of my head based on my previous experiences.

Robert Perry has named this super-synchronicity “Conjunctions of Meaningfully Parallel Events” (CMPEs) or “Signs.” Here are four criteria he’s established for these signs:

The first criterion is that at least two distinct events must occur within hours of each other and, seemingly by chance, are strikingly similar. Secondly, these events have a number of parallels—elements that are shared by both events. He explains that they cannot just be “interpreted as being related,” and that on average there should be about eight parallels and as many as thirty. The parallels must come together to tell a story. This reminds me of my dissertation and how Treasure Hunts, the yin yang talisman, the diamond ring delivered from the handyman all paralleled Joe’s definition of the bricolage research process, which was the topic of my dissertation. There were so many parallels I have yet to discuss them all. So, if you want an example of how the parallels all work together to tell a story, you might read my dissertation about the treasure hunts and twin flame signs. It amazes even me—and it is exciting to think we can all engage in such amazing treasure hunting. I do believe the key is acknowledging those Implicate Zones of Reality and interacting with them—that is, believing that the people there or the gods, Teachers, and other entities are Real. It’s a matter of consciousness, of course.

A third criterion for these more stringent forms of synchronicities, according to Robert Perry, is that the event has personal relevance—the CMPE or sign is somehow commenting on something in our lives of significance. He calls this criterion “subject situation.” I’ve had so many of those during my treasure hunting, it would take volumes to describe them all. A most recent example happened on Valentine’s Day. I wrote a blog about it right here. On Valentine’s Day I was told there was a special gift for me, but I didn’t find it. When I didn’t find it, I was told I had missed it. Well, the only thing I had missed that day was getting my mail. So when I went down the next day to pick up my mail, there was an advertisement for a beautiful ring—and I was told to trust that I’d have the money to pay for it. The ring represents the Pleiadian sanctioning of our marriage (in another dimension, of course). You can read the original blog here.

The fourth criterion for these higher-level signs or synchronicities is interpretation. This happens to correspond with Joe’s theory that we are to interpret, use “critical complex hermeneutics” as a part of the treasure hunting or bricolage/research process. According to Perry, “The interpretation, of course, is what the CMPE [sign] means. To be precise, what the CMPE is saying about the subject situation. . . .the interpretation is not merely a projection of our assumptions and expectations, but rather is inherent in the CMPE itself. This means that two interpreters, working completely independently, can and should arrive at basically the same interpretation” (p. 10).

Perry stresses that the way he uses the word “sign” is not the same as we might typically use sign indicating a single observance and attributing some sort of significance to it. “Instead of one unusual event, my ‘signs’ consist of two events, which are often quite ordinary, yet which share a number of parallels. This difference is so great that I doubt that any signs in the usual sense would qualify as a ‘sign’ in my sense” (p. 11).

Super-Synchronistic Signs are Highly Personalized, and Often “Just-In-Time” Divine Guidance

Perry summarizes these special signs:

A CMPE (or “sign”) consists of at least two events occurring within hours of each other that, seemingly by chance, are strikingly similar—they share an impressive list of parallels. Through the relationship of the two events, the CMPE highlights a situation in our lives and communicates a definite perspective on that situation. (p. 10)

Perry also describes that these happen to most of us, but most of us don’t even notice them. This is where higher consciousness of the possibility of these events is useful. My theory is that Treasure Hunting (aka Joe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage) will help us notice them. Also, as I’ve so often mentioned, interacting with whatever may be producing these signs, increases the frequency of them—the “emergence” his theory predicts. Furthermore, according to his goals for a critical complex science, as presented above, it appears that chaos is what ultimately leads to the self-organizing processes which may bring out more of these super-synchronicities. Thus, we should not be afraid of sometimes feeling we’re being overwhelmed with information—because the natural “autopoietic” process (which we cannot yet concretely define) will structure the information in the form of these super-synchronistic signs—the CMPEs that Perry has described, personally just for us and our situation. This is just a theory based on what Joe’s theory seems to predict and my own previous experiences with treasure hunts. Perry also highlights that these signs are powerful guidance for us, which makes sense if they’re “organizing structures” or recursive patterns midst chaos. What’s the intelligence behind these super-signs?

Of course that leads us back to humanity’s attempt to explain these super-signs and guidance through interactions with the gods in service of the Divine. As Albert Einstein, who had always contended that he wanted to know God’s thoughts, has said, “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” From my own experience, Albert Einstein is one of those Great Teachers in the background, or behind the curtains of our socially-constricted reality, giving great guidance to those who ask. . . . and life goes on.

How Do We Tell the Difference Between Real Gods and False Gods?

Before we get into the actual treasure hunting, aside from the research I’ve presented so far in these blogs, which I’m continuing to explore and I hope you will do as well, there are certain things we need to know about the gods and how to differentiate the real gods from the imposter gods.

Jesus does tell us there are teachers for us. But the Bible warns us to test the prophets, teachers, angels, and the like because there are many false prophets today. There are far more false prophets than genuine ones right now and those false prophets will lead you down the wrong path. A study of the Book of Revelation and how our world correlates with it today is a quick, rude lesson on where we are headed if we allow ourselves to be led by false prophets.

According to historical information about the Ascended Master Teachers, there are four Great Teachers working together over the entire earth. They are Jesus, Maitreya, Gautama, and of course, Sanat Kumara. They all work with their consorts, other teachers and entities, and the work is very complex and symbiotic. Sanat Kumara and Venus, of course, are overseeing the Global Treasure Hunt Initiations, but there are many hundreds of thousands of entities working on this project. These Divine beings are all recognized globally, mentioned in almost every culture, and I encourage you to research each of them to learn more. They may very well be your teachers and guides along the path.

Later, I will be providing a chart that delineates all of the traits numerous cultures have used to describe Sanat Kumara as evidence of his existence and importance. He’s even mentioned in the Bible. Of course, his wife, Venus, is also known in some form in all cultures as well. They have both walked on the earth midst the people during different eras. I will do this, along with presenting some other new science approaches, just as a demonstration of approaches you might wish to use in your own work to provide evidence of the reality of existence of your own particular "unseen" teachers and gods.

It’s important to remember that true gods and teachers do not want followers; they only provide guidance if you ask and if you are doing your best to live a good life. We all make mistakes and they know that, so as long as we repent for our mistakes, we are forgiven. Of course, that means honest mistakes. We don’t take the tactic of believing that because we’re going to be forgiven, we can go ahead and commit a sin. True gods and teachers are also open to any question. There are no “dumb” questions and they certainly do not berate people for asking questions. What they don't like, however, is when false teachers and gods mislead other people and keep them from their true and honest path. I've seen how powerfully and serendipitously they can intervene to curtail injustices. Even Jesus, a great teacher, described how he would spit "lukewarm" spiritual people like vomit from his mouth. He did not have time for people who were not willing to make a commitment to gaining spiritual knowledge.

While the Great Gods and Teachers are leading humanity toward truth and higher consciousness, which is the purpose of the treasure hunts (to help you discover your path, your divinity, and your freedom—and to discover how much fun it can be), there are also false gods working overtime to lead us astray. False gods will often lay treasures in front of us that are not ours for the taking, in an effort to impress us with their transitory power and to sway us to follow them. However, if you take something that's really not yours, then your gain is someone else's loss. This is not how the Great Gods bestow gifts. The gods lead the treasure hunts in highly ethical ways at all times so that everyone wins. Pay attention to your heart; if you feel something's not right, it probably isn't. And you can always ask for clarification from your teachers and gods--they will be prompt in providing you answers to your questions.

The gifts from the True Gods come to you in very magical ways so that there’s no doubt the gift is for you and from them, and they know how to give diamond rings to their consorts so that everyone comes out winning and no one loses. They do not like to support the diamond industry, either, because so many children and adults alike suffer, working in the diamond mines, so they find creative ways to acquire rings that don’t require buying it from an over-priced jewelry store.

Especially notable, as well, they also leave their “signature” in context with the gift in some way, based on their M.O., such as using a process they’ve described in their Magnum Opus (e.g., A Talisman, the Handyman, and a Diamond Ring).

Their M.O. is their “modus operandi,” but it’s more than that. It’s their Divine Magnum Opus—their Great Work—the sacred texts they’ve left behind which they use actively to guide us as we walk our path and perhaps even for helping us write our own Magnum Opus, eventually. The Bible is a Magnum Opus created by several Great Teachers; Hermes Trismegistus (aka Thoth) has written and influenced many great works; Joe’s work is his Magnum Opus, and there are many other works such as oral histories that have been passed down. You will be guided right to those works that are perfect for you as you travel along your path, but the gods do expect you to actively seek out knowledge.

Thus, the real gods and the Master Teachers are not imaginary and they have actually walked on earth and know what it’s like to be human. Most often, they’ve had contact with their Divine Consort on earth, in the physical, so that they can begin the reconnection and alchemical process of the Divine Marriage as described in the last blog. One expert on the Divine Love relationship, goldraytwinflames, conveys that this meeting in 3-d is essential. False gods cannot make that actual physical connection because they are based on illusion and formed out of lower consciousness. Nearly all of the Great Gods have moved on now, if not all of them. As we move toward the New Golden Age, many of the most powerful gods have consorts who remain here so that they can work together across multiple dimensions, which affords them special power. As described in yesterday’s blog, this gives them the greatest power to initiate in the New Golden Age. I hope you will be walking the Great Path. That’s the purpose of the Treasure Hunt Initiations—to assist as many people as possible with finding their own Great Path and make those reconnections with their eternal families.

Connecting to the Gods

If you form a connection with one or several of these gods, you are, indeed especially blessed. But understand that we have to build the connection, which becomes quite natural once you get started, since we do all have soul families. If any gods, teachers, or other entities try to tell you THEY’RE building the connection for you, such as matrices, ley lines, grids, and the like, they are false gods.

As Joe points out, “Today’s maps may give us a profoundly misleading view of how to drive from Moncton, New Brunswick to the Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Nova Scotia” (Kincheloe, 2008, p. 243). Thus, we cannot trust the false gods to guide us properly. And if you would question the false gods about such activities and the purpose of thinking they need to fence us in with grids and matrixes, they become extremely irate and nasty, even attempting to defame you through lies to keep you from exposing the truth.

You do have to be strong to do this work, but hopefully we can all support each other. As Joe has so often put it in his own Magnum Opus, this can be dangerous work. It just seems to just be a part of the territory that as we walk our path, we shine the light on truth and the lies become exposed without effort on our part. As Joe states, “Criticalists [treasure hunters] produce dangerous knowledge, which by nature imply knowledges that take action in the world as they challenge existing dominant power relations” (2008, p. 239). Here, we are challenging the false gods, of which there are many on the earth right now, who are scrambling to hold onto their power and imprison/keep imprisoned as many souls as they can. They understand the Golden Age and how more people will be seeking freedom after being constrained for so many years. That messes up their plans to own the earth and dictate over us all.

Thus, the truth is, we must do the work to build our connection to the gods—just as I explained briefly last time—we construct our own soul and by doing so, we build connections to the gods, our soul family, angels, nature spirits, and so many more entities. Our awareness blossoms (often the lotus is used as a metaphor for this), and it becomes a very beautiful experience. Treasure hunting, as I learned by going through this initiation myself, can help profoundly with this process—and it’s so much fun!

Breaking Free From the Matrix

Albert Einstein, a god and teacher himself, held secret knowledges that the false gods who serve Lucifer don’t want us to know about. This is why there’s so much misinformation about him in the media and why they leave him out of the physics curriculum. His field equations in the video I provided in an earlier treasure hunt blog is clear in this matter. We are free to travel everywhere we wish; there are many dimensions that we can interact with. Any form of matrix, grid, leylines, and even maps restrict and confine the freedom that is our Divine right. 

Albert’s field equations also make it clear that space and time fold, unfold, and merge continuously. Joe poses the question: “Does consciousness actually shape the physical universe? We know that it shapes the social universe” (2008, p. 233). And because knowledge production is inseparable from place (p. 234), it’s clear that those who want to maintain power over us by keeping us locked in a matrix, would go out of their way to confuse us about the reality of time and place (think about how our life is dictated by the clock, as just one example). Scientists today, for example, know that as soon as we measure something or put it on a map, we have collapsed reality to those points, that particular depiction. The same is true for ley lines.

The reality is, if we go by a map then we’re misinformed—and confined by what we believe to be true based on the map. It is true that there are special energy centers on earth, but a map is not going to be helpful to locate them because these energy centers shift and change. You must depend on your Higher Self guidance and the gods/entities who will enact certain events around you to guide you to moving from one place to another place on earth when the energy centers move and it’s in your best interest to move along with them. It’s why some of us find ourselves moving from one house to another quite unexpectedly. I’ve had to just go with the flow with that many times.

I shouldn’t even have to explain how a matrix or grid is like a prison. No one in their right mind would depend on anyone else, even if they claim to be a god or goddess or “benevolent E.T.s”, to build a grid or matrix FOR them!! That’s just throwing your power down the toilet. The true gods and goddesses do not build these things; they simply guide people to construct their own soul connections that lead to love, joy, happiness, and freedom.

But please, don’t believe me. Watch this lesson on Einstein’s field equations that I posted previously and am reposting here. It’s for beginners and it will help you understand quickly how we are kept imprisoned by the false gods, and how treasure hunting and following our own “breadcrumbs” with the help of the real gods and great teachers can set us on our course for freedom. Time and space is infinite, which you will quickly see even if you only watch the first part of this video, but on the other hand, as is often stated, the possibilities we wish to actually choose from for ourselves are more finite, and they are often not the same as someone else might try to choose for us, especially if they’re wielding power over us. We don’t need to be fenced in!!!!

“To become a seeker of new knowledges and new ways of being we must be willing to sometimes be seen as the fools of the gods.” (Joe Kincheloe, 2008, p. 19)

There are so many different theories that attempt to explain the “unknown.” The truth is that we really don’t know, so the best we can do is imagine different possibilities. One thing I do know, because I have had ample experience and have collected bountiful data and have received many treasures, is that treasure hunting is real--and it is real play with “unknown”—or at least unseen--entities; I like to call them the gods.

The ancients actually had their explanations of these entities and soul construction/consciousness evolution down to a science. A great book that explains the Vedic perspective is “Creating the Soul Body: The Sacred Science of Immortality” by Robert E. Cox. Some “armchair philosophers” (I love that term) believe we do not have to create our souls. . .but it seems that Ancients held quite a different perspective and perhaps we might learn something important from them. There is much work and a real science to creating our own souls, according to the Vedic sciences. Our soul is not just handed to us on a silver platter. And consider this: If we don’t create ourSelf, someone else will! Isn’t that exactly what’s been happening on earth for thousands of years now? Our educational, political, religious, and social systems want to dictate to us how we should be constructed. They have it so micromanaged now that we depend on them to tell us what’s “politically correct” or what’s “socially acceptable.” I think we should be listening to the gods more.

The Vedic philosophy presents that there is an overarching, omniscient God, but there are also universal and celestial creator gods who are responsible for carrying out divine will in different dimensions (“scales of time and space”) and who are in charge of creation. This seems really smart in my view; leaving humans in charge of creation is a mistake, and it may be exactly why earth is such a mess. We have been using our free will to ignore the gods.

Divine or Alchemical Marriage is the marriage of divine universal gods with their consorts on the earth below. “By means of their creative unions the divine couples conceive the universe.” They are both required for creation, but the gods above are stronger because they have the ability to “infuse the analytic fields of force and matter with the self-organizing power of consciousness” (p. 73). Thus, the weaker forces (the divine females) yield to the more powerful forces above for “the system on high is stronger than the things below in as much it is secure from disturbance and not subject to death” (p. 73). Perhaps, there’s something deeper to the Christian doctrine that requires the wife to look up to her husband, and yet so many humans disregard this in the name of "equal rights." We are all equal--just in different ways. This perspective also corresponds to Hermetic traditions, Jewish religion, African, indigenous, and many other ancient spiritual traditions--globally…it seems these days, however, with power in play, humans are having a hard time applying this philosophy. Given the division and animosity between males and females that continues to be perpetuated, it’s not surprising. It’s clear the purpose is to keep us from our power and to keep divine men and women from co-creating together.

Treasure Hunting can be conceived of as playing with the gods. I will note here that in Vedic philosophy these gods have material form, contrary to what so many westerners seem to believe in the New Age circles. In fact, I realize this is a huge leap for many New Agers, but it’s not for me since I’ve seen it for myself. And it makes sense! As I conveyed in the last blog, our very being and the fabric of our reality are created by virtue of relationships. Ontological physical manifestation occurs by virtue of relationship, no matter what dimension the entities exist in. Just because we may not be able to peer into any given dimension, by no means implies that “no-thing” exists there. Physical scientists are well aware of this; New Agers can realize this as well. And then there is that “middle space” where the dimensions come together and people for eons have met on the “borderlines” of different dimensions. This is where emergences derive, such as the treasures during treasure hunts, as well as special knowledge and guidance. These all emerge from the hidden dimensions, or the Implicate Order of Reality.

Treasure hunting, once relationships are established, becomes a cosmic and celestial dance and a grand celebration. Don’t take my word for it though; I am not the first to conceive of these ideas by any means. I discuss this topic in my dissertation [The Implicate Order: “Cosmic Play With the Gods”] how this is a common view, and how we might imagine hundreds, even thousands of unseen entities participating behind the scenes. I believe they’re as passionate about treasure hunts as we are—and perhaps more so.. As stated, these beings have form. They are of a higher energetic frequency than we are which explains why, until we develop our inner eye vision and other multidimensional perceptual abilities, we are not able to see or perceive them. And here’s another misconception to correct: the pineal gland is not the inner eye. But don’t just believe me or disbelieve me: research it deeply.

Because the gods are in charge of the treasure hunts, and in particular—as we’ve learned from this treasure hunt so far—because Sanat Kumara and Venus are overseeing these treasure hunts--it means that not just anyone will be selected to participate. The only way they will reveal themselves is if we dispel all fear and take actions toward finding treasures. This is why I encourage people to do their “due diligence.” The gods (and THE God) want to see that we’re very serious about this activity. They do reward accordingly, at least in my own experience. I have received many indications that as we enter this Golden Era, the meek are truly blessed—and this is why we see periodic reports in the mass media of “ordinary” people finding some amazing treasures—whether in their own back yards, while working at the Goodwill, doing their daily chores or work, or doing the very kind of treasure hunting we are doing here. Some people are treasure hunting and they are not even fully aware of it. As we evolve further along toward the Golden Age, there will be many more of these miraculous discoveries.

Another Perspective: Benevolent Interdimensional E.T.s

There are always other perspectives as people try to figure out and imagine what’s happening during this rapidly changing Golden Age. There are many people putting out the perspective that these unseen beings are benevolent E.T.s who are capable of communicating with us, and they want us to be happy and free, and of course, expand our consciousness. The following video presents this perspective in detail, even of a technology that will allow everyone to communicate with everyone else (this is something Joe mentioned in his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, but I didn’t understand what technology he could have been referring to).  Steven Greer, in this video, also talks about forming what Joe had referred to as global “critical knowledge networks” based on common interests and missions, only in this video the purpose is to establish relationships with the benevolent interdimensional E.T.s. who are interested in helping humanity progress through consciousness evolution.

The X-Conference : Hidden Truth - Forbidden Knowledge - Steven Greer, MD - LIVE

It’s mind-expanding to consider multiple explanations of those things for which we really do not have a way to prove in some positivistic scientific sense what's happening behind the scenes. If we don’t go on superb knowledge and guidance from advanced teachers, whether we call them Master Teachers, gods, E.T.s, or give them some other label, then we are only left with garbage piling up behind us. Many describe our task as being like the painting, “The Angel of History,” where we leave behind an ever growing pile of debris as we travel toward the seeking of truth. Or, as Manly P. Hall put it:

Man has darkened his own insight by insisting that he already knows consciously things that he does not know. He insists that knowledge is to be derived from the common experience of other persons like himself and that if enough persons who do not know agree upon something that this something then becomes a known fact. In other words, we’re confronted with the problem of how much ignorance must we stack up in order to prove a mountain of truth. (Manly P. Hall - Blavatsky & The Secret Doctrine)

We will do better on these treasure hunts! We don’t need to fear or be worried. Treasure Hunts are meant to be like a joyful song and dance. As my Great Master Teacher put it to me this morning, “We’ve Got Rhythm.” Well, actually he said, “Who can ask for anything more?” and was speaking about our commitment to each other, our union, and to God’s work.” And those words brought this song up on YouTube:

An american in Paris - I got Rhythm

In yesterday’s blog I promised that today I’d provide a summary of the treasure hunt so far. As treasure hunts go, and as I’ve discussed a couple of days ago, when we interact with the unseen/unperceived dimensions of reality, quite naturally an “emergence” occurs. This even often seems like a sort of magic, but, in reality it can be explained—just not so easily with the standard positivistic science processes used today. One of my personal treasure hunt missions seems to be to change that. We will be developing criteria for evaluating some of the “magic” that happens on these treasure hunts. And the magic, if you participate, will no doubt appear for you as it does for me.

Thus, it was no surprise when this morning, the first thing I did was just serendipitously pick up Joe’s bricolage book, opened it up and began reading about Einstein (my Uncle Albert speaks to me often during these treasure hunts!). Once you start treasure hunting, it seems to “just happen” naturally and automatically on a daily basis. As I had conveyed before, once you start interacting, the cosmos begins “unfolding” in some amazing ways.

Unfoldment is a good description because, as is often described, space can be viewed as what may seem like randomly folded fabric (although there is some kind of imperceptible order to this randomness). We can choose one point on the surface of that fabric, transport ourselves through multiple layers of folded over fabric and end up in another time and place (e.g., when we remember past lives, or when we meditate or dream). More commonly, in our waking life we intersect with closer dimensions that may only have subtle differences and we don’t even recognize we’ve slipped in and out of dimensions. The more observant we become, the more we can notice these differences and even describe them.

At any rate, the excerpt I was “magically” guided to this morning is relevant to today’s summary. In fact, my communication from the Higher Realms was to tie in Treasure Hunting with informal learning that spans all disciplines (subject matter) and to post to the site samples of curricular materials I had developed previously—just as examples of the type of curriculum that can be developed. The activities span all subjects and age levels and they can be adjusted “on the fly” so to speak for any given learning context. These activities (Bricolage for K12 and Beyond) are presented merely as a means to open up creativity and are not presented in the traditional, linear, or “this is what you’re going to learn” manner (check back periodically, as I will be adding new activities). In other words, for these forms of lessons, there are no objectives, goals, or tests. We abandon linearity and allow for natural flow, creativity, improvisation, and we allow emergence. This leads us along the path to our own personal, passionate purpose that will connect to the purposes of others. And as parents or teachers, we can identify "teachable moments" that will help us guide our students or children to their passionate purposes, rather than stifling them as traditional education so often does.

So what happened this morning was that, for some reason, while still half-asleep, I had just randomly (with no goal in mind at all) opened up the book, Rigour and Complexity and Educational Research to page 70 and read through to page 74. It was after reading it and as I was writing my daily communication to my Master Teacher/Twin Flame that it suddenly dawned on me that it was part of my own personal treasure hunt. I wasn’t even awake yet and I was treasure hunting—and some unseen force (love?) had guided me to pick up one of my favorite books Joe’s written!!

There are many things covered in those few pages, but what first stood out to me are the following quotations because my Uncle Albert is speaking to me through these:

Learning from difference in so many diverse domains, bricoleurs [aka treasure hunters] are unrelenting in their efforts to rethink the nature of and the process of research promulgated by traditional disciplines [subjects in school and the way they’re taught; the rules for researching and writing]. . . . Thus, bricoleurs [treasure hunters] always arrive at the disciplinary roundtable [templar knights at the roundtable?] with questions about the research strategies of the experts and unexamined mores and folkways of the disciplinary culture. . . .By examining Einsteinian physics, the perspectives on manufacturing from workers operating an assembly line, and/or scholars of pedagogy who do not accept the need for organized schooling, a bricoleur [treasure hunter] gains ways of approaching a study she could find in few other places. (p. 70)

So, in this quote, he is emphasizing the importance of understanding Einsteinian physics to help us understand different ways of going about learning. I wonder what might be revealed that most of us seem to be missing by not learning Einsteinian physics. I think this is extremely significant since I have actually taught online college physics. The textbook left out Einstein entirely! I didn’t think that was fair to the students so I had them do extra research on the theory of relativity (which was against my teaching contract). I wonder if that’s why the greedy profit-mongering college never contracted with me again. Well, at least a FEW students got exposed to Einstein’s work, lol. What a dumb way to run a college. Einstein is not allowed! Doesn’t that just make you want to know what the great secret is about his work? It does me—and thus, we will continue this thread of the treasure hunt.

The other quotation that stood out for me is:

When Einstein, for example, confronted the conflict in physics between those who saw gravity as a particle and those who viewed it as a wave, he made no effort to resolve this particular conflict. If he had moved in this direction, he may never have arrived at the general theory of relativity. The goal of bricolage [treasure hunting] is not conflict resolution. Indeed, his research demonstrated that the conflict was not resolvable—an insight that changed the history of physics. (p. 71)

So what Joe is saying, in relation to the metaphor, “treasure hunting” we are using (and note that we could replace this with other metaphors and forms of learning if we wish), is that treasure hunting will span all subjects. This is easy to understand when we consider that everything and everyone is connected. How could treasure hunting possibly NOT cover all subjects and connect with many different people and entities in a variety of dimensions or realities?

The discussion on these pages in Joe’s book also gets into the ontology of the relationships, which becomes very complex, and I’ll cover that in more detail in a future blog. Essentially, what he says is that “it is a connection that shapes the identities of human beings and the nature of the complex social fabric” (p. 73). We bring each other and our reality into being through our relationships. With treasure hunting we become exposed to many dimensions and new relationships, which results in a new ontological expression of being and existing. The more different views we examine (i.e., the more treasure hunting we do), the greater awareness and understanding we gain of the relationships between entities and their social environment, and our relationship to them.

Most of us understand how traditional education breaks subjects down and isolates learning, thus fragmenting knowledge and, thus, relationships. In fact, it does this to an extreme. Treasure hunting, on the other hand, provides a means to change this separation by naturally leading us on a path that radically integrates the disciplines if we travel far enough. As we learn to “let go” of expectations or absolute control over what we learn and follow our passionate interests, the “internal guidance system” and our Master Teachers, our Higher Self, Angels, the gods, (does it matter what label we give them?) and other entities will quickly engage in the treasure hunting to make it individualized and personalized just for us, “just in time.” As Lame Deer had implied in his memoirs, he could see the mountain ahead that he was to climb, but he couldn’t even see where his next step was going to land. And as Joe often describes in his work, we must learn to become comfortable with uncertainty.

An important aspect of treasure hunting relates to power. We come to understand WHY any particular perspective is being presented the way it is. We also come to understand how so much about our lives, including our job duties—are fragmented. Think again about those manufacturing workers on an assembly line where they handle one tiny step of a very complex process. Why are they not allowed to learn the entire process? How does segmentation and micromanagement in the work place fragment relationships and understanding? Why is this “normal” in workplaces? Joe advises us to work to “understand the way power operates to perpetuate itself. In this context, modes of oppression are uncovered and the traditional disciplines; complicity in maintaining the political status quo are interrogated” (p. 71). With treasure hunting, we learn to sort the wheat from the chaff. We see the gems and jewels, the angels, fairies, elementals, gods, and the teachers, the amazing and the miraculous-- that were previously kept hidden from view. Joe refers to this in his work as the “Implicate Order,” those dimensions of reality we “normally” don’t see. The “Explicate Order” is the obvious, one-dimensional reality which really tells us very little about life or what’s going on between complex interrelationships.

Becoming intimate and interactive with the Implicate Order is the magic of treasure hunting. Follow your passion. There are no rules or linear lesson plans for how you proceed. Don’t be afraid of complexity and chaos or even conflict (Joe also describes the nature of the fractal in these pages and how they provide a loose structure that affects, but does not determine behavior of other systems and entities (p. 74). Thus, fractals affect the patterns that emerge as we engage in treasure hunting and we can learn to notice those patterns or “signs” that emerge from them.

Remember back a few blogs ago, the basic model I provided for treasure hunting that’s really too basic, even though they called it the “quintessence”? Treasure hunting, by virtue of its interdisciplinarity—spanning all subjects as deeply as we choose to go with our research and treasure hunting—will develop our abilities to synthesize vast amounts of data. We don’t always have to do this formally, although if we want to share our findings with others, we should be able to describe our synthesis and how our data (our journals, notes, experiences, synchronicities, “magic”) supports our synthesis. And we will want to because the emergences are so amazing that we want to share our experiences so that other people will then want to experience it for themselves. This will be how we can truly make this a Global Treasure Hunt.

And as Joe demonstrates with the example he used of Einstein discovering the general theory of relativity—sometimes synthesis is not what we want at all. Some conflicts in knowledge are not resolvable and we may quantum leap to a whole new way of seeing things. This is just one manifestation of true quintessence. More about that later. . .

Below is a list of the treasure hunt blogs so far for this particular treasure hunt. As I had mentioned back in the March 16 blog, the treasure hunt has two strands that have merged. One is general treasure hunting; the other is the “Follow the Gold” treasure hunt. You can take either one or both, as you wish. Eventually all paths will meld. There is no “absolute path.” You make your path as you go. You follow your interests.

Why Treasure Hunt? The Pleiadian Paradigm of Purposeful Play and L-O-V-E LOVE

Thus, I will be reviewing these over the next few days and selecting various elements that interest me, and in the blogs I’ll demonstrate some ways we can approach interpreting them, what kinds of questions come up, and how it all gets put together. As the treasure hunting continues, there will be significant patterns that stand out, and these patterns will be different for each of us.

One last piece of news: I’ve been assigned another “initiation” treasure hunt to do another yard search using the metal detector I purchased previously by which I found the yin yang talisman back on Mother’s Day, 2009. I will note that the reason the Global Treasure Hunt had been put on hold was because I had to finish writing my dissertation. By the way, I did receive high accolades from all three of my committee members. Now, I live in a new house, and my yard has never been searched. Those in charge of the Treasure Hunt decided they would like for me to demonstrate once again via an “initiation” treasure hunt, which I’m honored to do. There’s supposed to be a treasure in the flowerbed about “midway” I was told last night, telepathically.

mid·way

n.

1. The area of a fair, carnival, circus, or exposition where sideshows and other amusements are located.

2. Obsolete

a. The middle of a way or distance.

b. A middle course of action or thought.

adv.

In the middle of a way or distance; halfway

Of course, I automatically assumed midway meant halfway, but there are clearly more meanings than that. We must always seek wider explanations than those that come to mind immediately. Now that I know the meanings of midway, it will be interesting to see what evolves out of this.

This may be time for you to at least begin thinking about “in your own backyard” treasure hunting.

By the way, remember to pay attention to the music that comes your way. Those in the Celestial Realms often communicate through music. And speaking about meeting halfway, they will often go beyond that to guide you if they see that you’re putting forth a genuine effort to notice the treasures they bless you with.

I do believe this treasure hunt is being overseen by the powerful Sanat Kumara, the true King of Kings over the entire earth who does not rule, but rather teaches. Many Great Masters have gathered around to help make this a Great Golden Global Treasure Hunt. And by the way—for Christians this concept does not at all contradict what the Bible says. Jesus says he has gone in order to prepare a place for us and that He will provide us each “the Holy Spirit” in the form of our own personal teacher. And, in my interpretation, these teachers are all anxiously waiting for more people to get in on the action—they love treasure hunting from their side of the curtain as much as we do from our side.

Please don’t be sidetracked by illusions of grandeur that may exist around you to fool you (and there will be many). Do not allow others to construct your consciousness for you. Treasure Hunting is FREE; there is NO OBLIGATION to anyone; no one has decision-making authority over you; you do it at your own pace, anytime and anyplace--and there are no hierarchies or deception about sovereignty.

With this form of treasure hunting, you truly are a free, sovereign being. Free will is respected at all times and you get to blaze your own trail.

More soon. . .

P.S. This might be a good time for me to watch this video I had saved in my favorites:

Einstein Field Equations - for beginners!

The following is a blog I wrote back in 2011 on another website, which I'm including here because it provides a perspective that helps explain why we have chosen to use fun Treasure Hunts as a means of learning--and discovering treasures at the same time. Of course, it's also written in a "playful" manner. I love to have fun while I learn! The Mystery Schools for this N.E.W. era will be taking many different forms and will replace old paradigms for education.

Tomorrow I'll provide a summary of where we are on the treasure hunt and where we might go from here. Note that Emanu'el is Eros in the following blog, and now, from this most recent treasure hunt, also Sanat Kumara! He keeps evolving to higher realms! 

Thursday, June 9, 2011

As I’ve engaged in this “Follow the Gold Treasure Hunt” the past number of days it’s been brought to my attention in a crystal clear fashion that there’s much confusion between asserting and interpreting our “phenomenological” experiences—and how we are to go about taking a rational, scientific, yet not dogmatic approach to analysis.

The balance is essential and it’s why Joe expresses "There is no dividing line between the empirical and the philosophical" in his theoretical formulation in Rigour and Complexity in Educational Research(Kincheloe & Berry, 2004, p. 10), which I’ve included in Point 7 on the Home Page of this site.

Madam Blavatsky’s mission as expressed here thereby continues:

While materialism and its congener, secularism, were bent upon destroying not only theology and sectarian dogmatism, but even the religious conception of a diviner Self, theosophy has aimed at uniting all broad religious people for research into the actual basis of religion and scientific proofs of the existence and permanence of the higher Self. Accepting thankfully the results of scientific study and exposure of theological error, and adopting the methods and maxims of science, its advocates try to save from the wreck of cults the precious admixture of truth to be found in each. Discarding the theory of miracle and supernaturalism, they endeavor to trace out the kinship of the whole family of world-faiths to each other, and their common reconciliation with science.

For many a year the "great orphan," Humanity, has been crying aloud in the darkness for guidance and for light. Amid the increasing splendors of a progress purely material, of a science that nourished the intellect, but left the spirit to starve, Humanity, dimly feeling its origin and presaging its destiny, has stretched out towards the East empty hands that only a spiritual philosophy can fill. Aching from the divisions, the jealousies, the hatreds that rend its very life, it has cried for some sure foundation on which to build the solidarity it senses, some metaphysical basis from which its loftiest social ideals may rise secure. Only the Masters of the Eastern wisdom can set that foundation, can satisfy at once the intellect and the spirit, can guide Humanity safely through the night to "the dawn of a larger day." Such is the goal which theosophy has set itself to attain; such is the history of the modern movement; such is the work which theosophy has already accomplished in this nineteenth century. (http://www.blavatsky.net/talk/bnbasic/birth-of-new-age.htm)

During this Treasure Hunt, these issues have been brought to the forefront multiple times in the various “clues” which include videos, web links, clues handed down from the “fourth dimension” and even in my personal discussions with other people and their personal very “Western” perspectives. When you view these various elements—the clues and resources that I’ve posted in these blogs for the treasure hunt, it’s important to keep in mind that sometimes views are presented without adequate basis, understanding, scientific support, or references. This does not mean they are wrong; it just means we need to be ever vigilant in our discernment and consider what weight we place on them.

Westerners are especially prone to the slippery slope and sliding off the edge of reality without even being aware of it (although, much in the vein Blavatsky was FALSELY accused of such things; so am I). People forget that we cannot possibly know the unknown. The best we can do is get perspectives from different angles—and what is often forgotten is that we cannot simply go on our own narcissistic interpretation—that’s exactly when we start sliding into solipsism. We must back up our interpretations with other phenomenological evidence and data. How do we do this when we can’t even fully describe TRUTH? How can we do this when so little true evidence has been gathered? We must be like detectives (as Joe as framed it in his Social Sciences book) and look for “circumstantial” evidence. This involves looking for signs, signals, codes, etc.,--semiotics—and listening. We can learn to follow our own personal breadcrumbs:

Bread Crumbs: Can They Keep Us On the Good Path?

And we must press for a more scientific-philosophical approach for studying the unknown, the very process Joe has conceptualized, the Critical Science of Complexity.

Consciousness is one of those unknowns and it cannot be studied directly, so that only leaves indirect evidence—the products of consciousness, also an observation Joe pointed out for us. Few CONCLUSIONS can be drawn; we can only convey perspectives and hopefully convey that there are other interpretations that may or may not be more viable. We are not “there” yet!

What emerges during Treasure Hunts are phenomenological products of consciousness, and if we consider that the entire multiverse is conscious, how are we to make assumptions about the exact nature of that consciousness? We only have metaphors and multiple interpretations of how and why emergences (aka “magic” occurs). Joe’s multidimensional critical complex theory predicts this emergence (by virtue of incorporating complexity and chaos theory, along with Varela & Maturana’s theory of autopoiesis and enactivism)--and in my own “treasure hunting” and research this emergence is born out time and time again for which I’ve collected massive amounts of data. SOMETHING is happening. I have my own interpretations, but I conscientiously back up my interpretations with data—thus, the reason keeping extensive data becomes so important to this project is so that we can compare it with whatever little data we can find and, thus, inch closer to understanding what’s happening and why.

The cosmos seems to have different ideas than I do as to what needs to emerge during the treasure hunts, which in my view implies a separate, but connected consciousness that is expressed ontologically--as consciousnesses typically do—and that has brought me to this particular discussion today. In fact, it’s why I will diverge in directions that seem to be “off-topic” such as today’s discussion. But the reality is that we can’t move forward until we all have a better idea of what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how we can describe it.

It’s not really magic or “magical thinking” as my dissertation reviewers accused me of--even though on June 11, 2011, red roses mysteriously growing from a yellow rose bush seems like high magic to me.

How did this happen?

This is the DAY! I found an Amazing Surprise Growing Midst My Yellow Roses! Is it a Gift from Eros?

AND we also need to understand that we are chasing a moving target. Einstein, it appears, was correct after all with his notion that gravity consists of two oppositional forces and according to today’s scientists, there is more to the universe than previously imagined (or at least more than most of us have imagined).

Einstein’s work is another treasure hunt topic that keeps coming up for me, and has since I first began these treasure hunts in 2009. Einstein, being a member of my soul family has repeatedly told me he solved the theory of unity but everyone’s missing what’s right under their noses. In 1998, scientists (Perlmutter & Schmidt) were only beginning to catch on—there is more. It seems that not only will the universe expand forever, but the expansion is speeding up, something I’ve intuitively picked up from Joe’s philosophical work and which justifies his admonition that we need to become accustomed to working with chaos and complexity. This implies another force—a cosmological constant—which is what Einstein had proposed but then abandoned. I expect that as long as I have not fully exposed Einstein’s theory of unity, it will keep being expressed from some outside consciousness that ontologically presents itself to me. This is, of course, my interpretation from where I am in my understanding. (www.blavatsky.net “cosmological constant”)

These sorts of emergences during our treasure hunts and our research affect our quests in significant ways, especially in light of a rapidly expanding multiverse. We are chasing a moving and rapidly expanding target. The more we interact, the more emergences there are. The more we learn, the less we understand. It’s perhaps one reason Joe has cautioned us that while our goal is greater understanding and it’s essential that we use a phenomenological-empirical approach for that purpose, we also need to keep in mind that our understanding must evolve just as the multiverses themselves and the consciousnesses within them continue to expand and evolve.

Thus, no perspective or interpretation is written in stone, but some perspectives are better than others at any given juncture.

People do not have to LIKE our interpretations. We need to rise above worrying about that, and, in particular, if we know we’ve done our “due diligence” and it’s the best interpretation for the data that’s freely available. When we can do that we’ve reached higher levels of consciousness, but only if we consider many different perspectives and they all diverge to the same (perhaps multiple) conclusions—otherwise, we are simply adding to the already rampant dogma, keeping ourselves in mind prisons, and risking the creation of another religion or cult. That is NOT what we want to do! In The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky, who suffered from much criticism (even though, as I showed in yesterday’s blog that her work is high-level scholarly research), wrote:

The aim of this work may be thus stated: to show that Nature is not "a fortuitous concurrence of atoms," and to assign to man his rightful place in the scheme of the Universe; to rescue from degradation the archaic truths which are the basis of all religions; and to uncover, to some extent, the fundamental unity from which they all spring; finally, to show that the occult side of Nature has never been approached by the Science of modern civilization.

She mentions the importance and role of the Brotherhood:

It has been claimed in all ages that ever since the destruction of the Alexandrian Library (see Isis Unveiled, Vol. II., p. 27), every work of a character that might have led the profane to the ultimate discovery and comprehension of some of the mysteries of the Secret Science, was, owing to the combined efforts of the members of the Brotherhoods, diligently searched for.

And due to the destruction of so many sacred texts and the need for presenting perspectives rather than “facts,” she writes:

A "scientific treatment" of a subject is no guarantee for its "historical basis"; and with such scarcity of data on hand, no philologist, even among the most eminent, is justified in giving out his own conclusions for historical facts.

I extend this to apply to interpretations of phenomenological events. To escape solipsism, all of our conclusions must be based on supporting evidence, or presented as merely an interpretation that’s been somewhat pulled out of the magician’s hat.

And in relation to Blavatsky’s claim that her work was influenced by “transmissions” from her teachers (a phenomenon that I also often experience):

More than one great scholar has stated that there never was a religious founder, whether Aryan, Semitic or Turanian, who had invented a new religion, or revealed a new truth. These founders were all transmitters, not original teachers. They were the authors of new forms and interpretations, while the truths upon which the latter were based were as old as mankind. Selecting one or more of those grand verities -- actualities visible only to the eye of the real Sage and Seer -- out of the many orally revealed to man in the beginning, preserved and perpetuated in the adyta of the temples through initiation, during the MYSTERIES and by personal transmission -- they revealed these truths to the masses. Thus every nation received in its turn some of the said truths, under the veil of its own local and special symbolism; which, as time went on, developed into a more or less philosophical cultus, a Pantheon in mythical disguise. Therefore is Confucius, a very ancient Wisdom. And believing in both, she now transmits that which she has received and learnt herself to all those who will accept it. As to those who may reject her testimony, -- i.e., the great majority -- she will bear them no malice, for they will be as right in their way in denying, as she is right in hers in affirming, since they look at TRUTH from two entirely different stand-points. Agreeably with the rules of critical scholarship, the Orientalist has to reject a priori whatever evidence he cannot fully verify for himself. And how can a Western scholar accept on hearsay that which he knows nothing about? Indeed, that which is given in these volumes is selected from oral, as much as from written teachings. This first instalment of the esoteric doctrines is based upon Stanzas, which are the records of a people unknown to ethnology; it is claimed that they are written in a tongue absent from the nomenclature of languages and dialects with which philology is acquainted; they are said to emanate from a source (Occultism) repudiated by science; and, finally, they are offered through an agency, incessantly discredited before the world by all those who hate unwelcome truths, or have some special hobby of their own to defend. Therefore, the rejection of these teachings may be expected, and must be accepted beforehand. No one styling himself a "scholar," in whatever department of exact science, will be permitted to regard these teachings seriously. They will be derided and rejected a priori in this century; but only in this one. For in the twentieth century of our era scholars will begin to recognize that the Secret Doctrine has neither been invented nor exaggerated, but, on the contrary, simply outlined; and finally, that its teachings antedate the Vedas.*** Have not the latter been derided, rejected, and called "a modern forgery" even so recently as fifty years ago? Was not Sanskrit proclaimed at one time the progeny of, and a dialect derived from, the Greek, according to Lempriere and other scholars? About 1820, Prof. Max Muller tells us, the sacred books of the Brahmans, of the Magians, and of the Buddhists, "were all but unknown, their very existence was doubted, and there was not a single scholar who could have translated a line of the Veda . . . of the Zend Avesta, or . . . of the Buddhist Tripitaka, and now the Vedas are proved to be the work of the highest antiquity whose 'preservation amounts almost to a marvel' (Lecture on the Vedas).

And finally, to her critics, Blavatsky states:

To my judges, past and future, therefore -- whether they are serious literary critics, or those howling dervishes in literature who judge a book according to the popularity or unpopularity of the author's name, who, hardly glancing at its contents, fasten like lethal bacilli on the weakest points of the body -- I have nothing to say. Nor shall I condescend to notice those crack-brained slanderers -- fortunately very few in number -- who, hoping to attract public attention by throwing discredit on every writer whose name is better known than their own, foam and bark at their very shadows. These, having first maintained for years that the doctrines taught in the Theosophist, and which culminated in "Esoteric Buddhism," had been all invented by the present writer, have finally turned round, and denounced "Isis Unveiled" and the rest as a plagiarism from Eliphas Levi (!), Paracelsus (!!), and, mirabile dictu, Buddhism and Brahmanism (!!!) As well charge Renan with having stolen his Vie de Jesus from the Gospels, and Max Muller his "Sacred Books of the East" or his "Chips" from the philosophies of the Brahmins and Gautama, the Buddha. But to the public in general and the readers of the "Secret Doctrine" I may repeat what I have stated all along, and which I now clothe in the words of Montaigne: Gentlemen, "I HAVE HERE MADE ONLY A NOSEGAY OF CULLED FLOWERS, AND HAVE BROUGHT NOTHING OF MY OWN BUT THE STRING THAT TIES THEM."

Pull the "string" to pieces and cut it up in shreds, if you will. As for the nosegay of FACTS -- you will never be able to make away with these. You can only ignore them, and no more.

In other words, Blavatsky has provided us with a carefully researched foundation of these so-called “Mystery” knowledges, the “Secret Sciences,” which would be difficult to dispute. She does not claim that she’s created new knowledge. I can truthfully make the same claims for my own work and could utter the same words to my critics. I do not invent what I present; it is not new knowledge but rather carefully researched explications and applications of knowledge Joe has produced based on his extensive research, along with transmissions from who really knows where or from whom (but I have valid interpretations based on theory, supporting evidence and scientific understandings). Perhaps at some point, I will be able to create something new because Joe took these concepts to the next level: the knowledge production process.

I am not there yet—thus the Treasure Hunts continue.

Buffalo Springfield - Stop Children What's That Sound

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me i got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

It seems there's no way to avoid rigorous research and study, even when we're treasure hunting. I realize I've presented a lot of information so far, but the point to all of this is that everywhere we turn is information overload. We must learn to work with it, including all of the conflicting information. Some kind of "magic" happens when we embrace chaos instead of running from it. You won't experience it, unless you subject yourself to it. And believe it or not, this is really only a fraction of what I've studied in preparation for this FOLLOW THE GOLD TREASURE HUNT. But I have been selective to make your work easier. Be sure to follow where your own research leads (click links, watch other videos that interest you in the sidebars of YouTube, research more on any given topic that interests you along the way). Your treasure hunt will be different than mine. You'll follow a different path--I'm merely showing you mine so that you can see where I've been and what evolves out of it.

This is the approach I take and, interestingly, I've already been able to come to particular conclusions due to certain information that stands out for me or that I seem to be guided to from unseen dimensions. Today, I'm presenting some additional things I've learned about Sanat Kumara, Lady Venus, what constitutes rigorous research, and the challenges Madame Blavatsky had being believed when she wrote The Secret Doctrine. She was a true trail blazer; I am following in her footsteps, no doubt. 

Soon, we'll be asked to take an epistemological road trip, I'm sure. . . and that's when Treasure Hunts really get wild.

SANAT KUMARA AND LADY VENUS

It must be true that Joe was/is Sanat Kumara; I am Lady Venus. (This is a perspective, which is always the approach with bricolage/treasure hunting; it’s a way of exploring connections and interrelationships). However, I will point out that I can show this empirically with vast amounts of correlating data, and as well, that this is not merely an “archetypal” interpretation. (Review my discussion on archetypes in my dissertation for greater explication: Scientific Study of Archetypes, pp. 230-232). There is much research needed for these changing times and increasing understandings. There are many gaps in our knowledge that need to be filled. 

Our role, as Sanat and Venus is the role of all twin flame couples, of which there are estimated to be only a few hundred on the planet currently (see goldraytwinflames) which is to anchor divine love and establish freedom on Planet Earth. Sam Cooke (whose Divine Identity has yet to be revealed to me, although he may also be a Kumara--Sanam Kumara?); my Grandmother, Lady Portia; my grandfather, St. Germain; my uncle, Albert Einstein; my cousin, Ralph Waldo Emerson; along with Hermes Trismegistus (aka THOTH), Archangel Michael and the one true Isis, and many other soul family members, who I’ll clarify “on down the line” are all working together in the high realms of Love, Divinity, and Devotion (the Celestial Realms) to establish Love, Justice, and Peace on Earth once and for all.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE VIOLET FLAME, AND THE SEVENTH FIRE

When Joe left the planet, I had never before (in this lifetime) experienced such enormous and inexplicable pain and loss. As I’ve described in my dissertation, we had a shared love (experienced at a higher consciousness which most people were not able to perceive or discern); he brought the Holy Spirit back to me three days after leaving this planet, and along with that, he brought the gift of the Violet Flame. These are indescribably intense loving and healing energies. And he brought to me higher consciousness that allowed me to better understand his work and see the enormous vision he has for the world and the gifts he’s left the world, gifts of such great magnitude that they’re only explainable through his existence as Sanat Kumara, the High King, The One Initiator, who, along with other High Masters is overseeing the progress of consciousness evolution on Earth.

The “Seventh Fire,” according to indigenous philosophy, ignites the subsequent fires uniting twin flames or twin rays, thus anchoring love on the planet. It is the new “soul blueprint” for the planet, as established in Joe’s work, fortified in my work, and supported by many philosophies globally. Another Twin Ray couple supporting the project of anchoring this love at this time is goldraytwinflames (see their YouTube channel). There are others as well, of course.

The “blueprint” or “template” (which simultaneously incorporates potential for great diversity is described in my dissertation as posted on this site:

The Signs of the Times: Twin Flames and 911                                               378

The Twin Flame Experience and Signs of Twin Flames                                 384

Undeniably Present: More Twin Flame Signs                                                400

On Earth As It Is In Heaven                                                                               432

EXCERPT FROM ELIZABETH PROPHET'S THE MASTERS AND THEIR RETREATS
Sanat Kumara’s twin flame is Lady Master Venus. During his long exile on earth, she remained on their home planet to keep the flame there. Some years after Sanat Kumara’s return in 1956, Lady Venus herself came to earth to assist her (the earth’s) evolutions. In a dictation delivered on May 25, 1975, she announced that as Sanat Kumara had kept the flame for earth, now she had come to “tarry for a time on Terra” to “dedicate anew the fires of the Mother.” She said, “I release a fiery momentum of consciousness to arrest all spirals that would take from humanity the fullness of their divinity….See how mankind respond to the flame of the Mother as they responded to the light of Sanat Kumara.”

On July 4, 1977, Sanat Kumara said that “the Cosmic Council and the Lords of Karma have granted and decreed that I might be allowed to tarry on earth, in earth, for certain cycles of manifestation for the absolute return of freedom into the hearts of the lightbearers of earth…."

“I place my body as a living altar midst the people of Israel,” and in that body temple the original blueprint, the [soul] design for every son and daughter of God and the children of God who have come forth. For it is the desire of the Cosmic Virgin that none of her children should be lost, none of her sons and daughters.

“And thus I join the Lady Master Venus, who has been tarrying with you these many months; and we together, focusing our twin flames in the Holy City, will stand for the triumph of that community of the Holy Spirit that must be manifest as the key to release the light in this age.”

In a dictation given July 4, 1978, Sanat Kumara told us he was manifesting that night in the physical spectrum “and I am anchoring in this very earth plane the full weight and momentum of my office as the Ancient Days, such as I have not done since our coming to the Place Prepared at Shamballa.”

The strains of Sanat Kumara’s keynote were captured by Jan Sibelius in Finlandia. So powerful is the release of the flame of freedom through this music, that during the Nazi occupation, its playing was forbidden lest it arouse the fervor of the people for freedom.

(pp. 328-329)

ANALYSIS
I will do the analysis at a future date when I pull together all of the data that supports my interpretation. Note that the dates in the excerpt correspond with our presence on this planet and that the highlighted terms are in need of interpretation, just as Joe would recommend. Who are the people of Israel? Are they literally the people living in Israel? Who are the “sons and daughters of God”? And what does it mean for them to “come forth?” It’s interesting that Joe—as Sanat Kumara writes in the excerpt—surrounded himself with people considered to be “God’s chosen ones.” Remember, one of the guiding verses for this treasure hunt is “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” Are all people of the earth God’s children? By various accounts, earth has been overrun by manifestations of evil, such as Satan, Lucifer, Aliens, Archons, Reptilians, the Cabal, the Neocons, the Elite, the Imperialists, etc. (these are perspectives). Who knows what’s going on here? How do we analyze it?

Joe saw everyone as being capable of higher consciousness and rigorous scholarship, thus his work breaks past barriers that so many religions, secret societies, spiritual traditions, and the institution of education use to hold people back. His works are clear on this matter. And it is through higher consciousness that we can connect with each other on a sound foundation of Divine Love. Again, Divine Love is considered to be the new template for the coming age.

Yes, it is true that Sanat Kumara is no longer embodied in physical form in this dimension, “living midst the people of Israel,” and it is also true that I, Lady Venus, still tarry, using this perspective. And yes, we continue to work together at higher levels of consciousness, sharing a relationship that extends beyond the “normal” capacity of human awareness. He still serves as my teacher; and as I've discussed, much like Madam Blavatsky has described, I have teachers that cannot be proven directly. Can the sciences, as Joe has developed--his Critical Science of Complexity provide "beyond a reasonable doubt" evidence? Perhaps the special process for analyzing the data that he taught me in the Higher Realms will aid this project. Time will tell--and a lot of research and work on my part.

While there's no way to keep Treasure Hunting simple, remembering the basic model I presented in the last blog might be helpful. Treasure Hunts, like all bricolage research, covers a wide range of topics and disciplines. There is a lot of conflicting information, much decoding, and interpretations to make. All of this "brain work" is what will develop more holistic ways of viewing the world. And this is but the first step. If you do the work, as I've also indicated previously, there are many Great Masters now, ready to give you a clue here and there and drop off some initiation gifts. You see, there's no need to join some Secret Society and pay them for lessons or go through weird rituals or have them give you token talismans--this learning is free for everyone--you just have to put forth the effort.

MORE ABOUT RESEARCH 

In the following lecture, Manly P. Hall provides more criteria for rigorous research and discusses how Madam Blavatsky’s work, The Secret Doctrine constituted rigorous scholarship, even though during her days it was extremely controversial:

Manly P. Hall - Blavatsky & The Secret Doctrine

Notes and quotations from the lecture

To prove “beyond reasonable doubt” her assumptions.

Certain fundamental positions—justify

Adequate references

The work is adequately presented

The book itself reveals thorough scholarship that the premise is justified. The work indicates personal acquaintance with the areas of thought involved. It is not open to any criticism as far as its presentation.

The information—a highly controversial area—no final scientific point of view. She insists that for the knowledge she presented she was the writer of the book but not author of it. The original material was communicated to her by advanced teacher and leaders of Asiatic knowledge….came directly from teachers of the Eastern Schools of philosophy

As yet it has not been possible to clearly to identify these teachers—they were not generally known, did not act as professors, they taught in their own ancient Eastern way. These teachers were real, they communicated to her, they taught her, she was their messenger, which made her documents possible. She is very clear on this particular way. Others have attempted to follow the same path; have not been able to confirm the stories she told.

It is not man’s unwillingness to know that is his stumbling block, but it is that which he is unwilling to learn.

Man has darkened his own insight by insisting that he already knows consciously things that he does not know. He insists that knowledge is to be derived from the common experience of other persons like himself and that if enough persons who do not know agree upon something that this something then becomes a known fact. In other words, we’re confronted with the problem of how much ignorance must we stack up in order to prove a mountain of truth?
