Two Hats

We’re familiar with the concept of wearing two hats, i.e. taking different perspectives and performing different functions as appropriate to the situation. Suppose the two hats are your functions for your outer life and your inner life. Generally our outer life progresses and we do what we have to do to live as we expect to live. But there’s another world. You can put on an inner hat and be the watcher, the awarer, not reacting, just obvserving.

My teacher, David Cheng, taught, “Do everything with consciousness. When you drive, do it consciously.” Be the watcher as you drive. Put your focus there. Be cognizant of all that is happening. Be the watcher as you walk around doing your daily tasks.  Be the watcher as you think. Observe your responses.

The word “dimension” means, basically, two outlooks. Are you ready to add another dimension to your life? Another perspective? Another stream of information?

What is Life? What do I do now?

What is Life? What do I do now?

These are the questions we generally ask ourselves. They come natural. People have been asking these questions for ages, writing about them, building social structures and group practices based upon their answers to them.

But take a look at these questions. They assume life is something static and that there is a best or right answer for the person in the current situation. It’s an understandable response, because it’s easy to do… take a snapshot and make a judgment.

What would happen if, instead, the first questions we are taught to ask are, “What can life be?” and “What can we do now?” These questions assume potential, multiple choices, because we know life is not static. It’s always becoming something more than it is. Changing to these questions would be the first step in expressing our creative/angelic nature as a basic principal of society. It would be less like a duality-based society (right/wrong) and there would be more potential solutions to work with.

Imagine how fast change could take place if we all considered ourselves creative and always saw options for the greater good. It’s focusing our awareness on possibility.

What can your life be? What can you do now?

Program Your Own Life!

Back in the early 70’s my facility in math and problem solving led me into a career in data processing, so as a programmer, when I saw a poster in a catalog that said “Program Your Own Life” I said, “That’s Great!”. I bought a poster and, one day, sat down and wrote some pseudo-code for my life. That’s programmer talk for describing my life process in words, specifying an initial condition, processes and things that repeated.

Since it was high-level it was a short program, the essence of which was telling my body, my consciousness that guides my growth, to morph each of my cells to such a high vibration that they radiated light. In my study of Edgar Cayce I had read that all our cells are replaced each 7 years, and if one made the intention to spiritualize those cells as they were individually replaced, you would have a radiant body of light in 7 years. So I set the program into action,  to be run by my subconscious mind continuously and silently in the background. It’s still running.

Does it work? Whether the light factor has changed in my physical cells would have to be determined, however, the consciousness that controls their creation generates a lot of light, and the physical is the out picturing of what I have created on a mental level. As Cayce said, “The mind is the builder”.

Let’s put it this way… My life continues to be enriched through my consciousness and action. The underlying process, though, is not so much the detail of the program, as your intention, your focus, giving it conscious priority, watching life unfold and acting in concert with the goal, moment by moment aware of inner promptings and the choices inside and outside the box.

Is it time to write your program?
