Happy Birthday: Dialogues With Divine Father Day Five

Wayne's Mandala

DF: Happy Birthday, Wayne.

W: Yes, thank you, Divine Father.

DF: 54 years this life and what a life, Wayne…

W: Thank you. I’d really like to feel how you see my life.

DF: Thank-YOU, because that’s where I wanted to go today.

W: I open my heart to take in your words and perspective.

DF: You have relentlessly journeyed, relentlessly chosen your own growth and next phase of your life that life brought you, not in spite of your fear, but in full face of your fear. You’ve grown in so many amazing ways, that you are an anomaly in today’s world. And that you can just humbly be you, in everyday life, doing dishes, treading cob, watering the gardens, without need for any kind of false glory recognition touches me so deeply Wayne. You embody and hold my love, and you let it shape and move you, you let it fill and fulfill you.

I’m not done…there’s more.

You are like a newborn at 54. Life is taking a brand new beginning and I feel like a proud father looking in the hospital nursery window to use the metaphor you knew this life. Hell with this looking in the window shit. I’m going in. I want to hold you, and look in your eyes and convey to you my joy and crazy delight and anticipation for your life, and for what comes now. To be accurate, I don’t feel like I own you, or that you owe me anything. I just am so honored that you would bear my name and heart, and let it fill you and reflect me, and I wondrously don’t know where this will go and how this could all turn out. Of course I can’t know. Who are you is so unknown, only to become known as you unfold and do life in this newness that you keep showing up for.

I know you have never quite been in the unknown as you are right now Wayne, with beginning totally afresh with your soulmate and soulfriend, in Mexico, so off-grid that the word off-grid is merely a starting place to describe where you are. Thank you for completing a 30 plus year career last year. Thank you for choosing a new geography and life in alignment with your next growth. And triple Thank you, for not saying you couldn’t afford it, that you couldn’t go on any further, into any more crazy unknowns, that you understandably took in all you could this life. You had every chance to do just that, and I would have wept, not with disappointment, but with joy for all that you did, and my tears right now in this moment are in a state of wonder that you would and did choose what you chose, again.

I might be close to done, hold on.

I’m sorry that you’ve had to ride a line of being seen as a freak in the relationships you chose to leave and enter. I’m sorry for the loss of people connection and the pain you endured of being misunderstood at so many of your choice points. And I’d like to tell you that an era is coming to a close. You had to enter a wilderness of meaningful people connections to find this love inside of you that you find now, to know it more and more, to be enabled to fluently speak this heart language, first, you to you, and now, in an newer and more public way, you to others. This is who you are. This is your true currency. This is your true value in the world. It will be as natural as breathing and a harvest of so many of your choices and learnings up till now.

Wow, I’m waxing prophetic, Wayne, but I feel this for you. I feel you feel it for you. And I think the universe is offering you that if you want this, then you are to own it and live it and breathe it and let it in. In other words, this is still another choice point for you, not a given. I hope it is an easy choice point for you.

W: The birds are going crazy out the window right now, a whole bunch of clatter and answering to each other. I do feel the universes invitation and offering, and I do so accept this gift and my god, I can’t think of a better gift for my birthday.

DF: It’s a bit of a paradox, Wayne, because it is a gift and you earned it. Both are equally true. Being enabled to receive gifts is always a function of your choices and growth and learning.

W: Wow, okay, so I’m letting this in and the tear tracks are pausing on my face in the moment. I feel like I only have a one word vocabulary in the moment, that word being thank you.

And what comes is a feeling of feeling so special, that how could anyone else be as special as me, like you’ve used up all of the specialness jar on me. I hope it’s not a resistance to letting in what you are offering, but I want to invite people following this dialogue to be enabled to take this in personally for themselves too, somehow.

DF: Yes, because love isn’t real unless it multiplies and spontaneously combusts in hearts. Yes, because where love is without tears of deep eye to eye and heart to heart feeling, is a tragedy, lacking true flow. This love needs to be known by others, or it’s a bubble. A love bubble, mind you, which is a good thing and like love in many ways, but love is meant to flow. And what I hear you asking Wayne, is that you want others to know this love and feel this love and to help you bear this love.

W: Yes.

DF: I’m reminded of the meaning of your name – ‘burden bearer.’ You have born this burden and you still do, and a fruition is coming to pass in all of this for you. I want it for others too Wayne, just like you do, but I want them to have it with you.

W: Isn’t that a bit me-centric?

DF: It could be, if you were still running that wound, and needed to heal it. I get that the love you bear and spread to others can only come to you in the form of personal relationships to a degree that you can bear them and make room for them in your life. But I hope you see that you are to spread this great love and courageous choice ability from your heart to many others hearts, not just the few of deep personal relationship and intimacy, but also to the many. Others are to feel and know, and awaken to this love as it is given to them in the giving of your gifts. You’re the gift, birthday boy. And, yes, to answer your question, it is a bit you-centric. In fact, it’s a whole lot you-centric. What’s love without a you, and a me, fully in, emptying the specialness jar like big selfish hogs.

W: Another paradox, self centered love.

DF: Yeah, you get that one. Any love that isn’t centered in self is no love at all.

W: I wonder if I’ll need to pause the dialogues for a week just to let in today.

DF: I think you got this one Wayne. You are bigger than you know, you know?

W: I know. I know I don’t know.

DF: Another paradox. True knowing is always contained in not knowing.

W: Thank you so much Father for this incredible gift today. I love you.

DF: I love you too Wayne, so much. Happy birthweek!

All Of Life Is A Gift: Dialogues With Divine Father Day Four

Wayne's Mandala

W: Hello, Divine Father.

DF: Hello, Wayne.

W: Father, it is so quiet and peaceful here at the ranch. I believe I only heard the sound of an internal combustion engine once in the past four days, and that only faintly for the tiniest moment. I think it may be hard for people to relate to where I live.

DF: Wow, Wayne, I get that. People have lost so much in relation to peace and tranquility that they don’t really notice its absence anymore. It seems the only way back is to make absent the industrial noises and notice from that experience what has gone missing.

W: As I type this, I can hear birds, and other creatures that make chirps, tweets, and I think I max out on my vocabulary trying to describe the other sounds. Some of them are very faint and distant and others a bit jarring, like when the rooster took to hanging out just beside the verandah. The dogs are usually contributing, but they must be resting in the afternoon overcast. There is a virtual heaven here in sound.

DF: And if you listen to the sound, is there a voice or a message to the sounds? Go ahead, try it now.

W: Interesting, Father, as I set out to do this, one of the first things I noticed in listening was the sound of my computer’s fan, as quiet as that is, but when I got past that, I hear a creative energy, creatures in creativity, doing things that are distinctly native to them, of which I am left in curiosity as to what it might be. There is no sense of stress or anxiety.

DF: Good, and now see if you can hear a message in that, roll out some words when you are ready.

W: Nothing like putting a guy on the spot.

DF: Go ahead, you can do this. You’ve done it a lot before, your conscious mind has just forgotten.

W: Okay, let me feel some more.

The many birds together say:

Only be that which you most truly are. Take in the energy of the sun and the universe that provides all things and let it move you to be you. Let go of that which is not you. Let your life force flow through you as a song that brings beauty and joy to everyone who has ears to hear.

Wow, Father God, the birds are actually talking to me.

DF: Of course they are, Wayne, of course.

W: Wow, Like, that’s what they’re really sayin’ then, you agree?

DF: They bring what you need to hear when you need to hear it. And, yes, that feels like what they are saying to you right now. And they’re pumped to have your ears. They can tell when you are giving them the gift of your attention.

W: This is cool stuff, Father.

DF: Okay, so it is. Now, see if you can transport yourself back to a busy noisy place somewhere, tune that in and see if you can hear the message or words in that noise.

W: Okay, I got to think of a place…ok, got one, the intersection outside a condo I used to live in, on a major thoroughfare.

DF: Perfect, get yourself seated there somewhere, close your eyes and listen and feel.

W: Got it.

The message I hear is. ‘No Time, I gotta go, or I’ll get behind. Gotta get ahead. The only person who cares for me is me. There is no beauty, only ‘progress’ and ‘development,’ but certainly no place for joy, or deep and real pleasure, or connection.

DF: And how does the message make you feel?

W: There is gasping for air, hunger to be seen and noticed and appreciated, in all of this speed and efficiency. If only I could do it faster and more efficiently, that would be perfect. There is great stress on the edge of a breaking point.

DF: And anything else you notice?

The birds here are mostly only a nuisance, nesting and pooping where they annoy people. They make messes of open trash cans and tossed out fast food bags.

DF: Wow, Wayne. That’s a pretty full deal right there. One setting opens you out and celebrates you, the other shuts you down, but still drives you, leaves you in stress and disconnection.

W: I’ll say, wow.

DF: So why did you live there?

W: I don’t know…

DF: Why do you think you lived there? This may be a bit hard to feel, but I think you can get to it.

W: As I feel it now, I could say it was about convenience, or proximity to my work, but that wouldn’t be true on the level you are talking now. The deeper truth I can feel is that I lived there because the message of that setting resonated with how I felt about myself. The lack of space to naturally and fully be myself, was somehow wired up as a side benefit of living there. And under that, I can feel this deeper me not resolved yet on whether it was then ready or not to be born into a world of beauty, and being seen and noticed.

DF: I’m so glad you live where you live now.

W: I am too, Father, most of the time. It isn’t without its adjustments and missings of something familiar.

DF: Yes, I have so felt you feeling your way through those missings as they come up for you.

W: Thank you. I feel that. I have felt your support to fully feel what I miss and have tears when I need to.

DF: The old familiar needs to be mourned and let go of to make room for a new familiar. The good news is that you are not meant to be without familiar comforts that make you feel helped and protected and loved and connected with.

W: I like feeling that, Father. Thank you again.

DF: Listen to the animals, they will help you move through these changes with less discomfort and pain. They are gifts to you to help you with your ongoing transmutation. You are not meant to do any of this without support and love and connection.

W: You come through the animals then?

DF: I do. There’s no hangups between me and them.

W: I will do that more and more, Father. I know I keep saying thank you, it’s just that I feel grateful when I feel our connection.

DF: That’s a good sign, Wayne. Everything you have has been given to you, so it’s your default state actually – Gratitude. All of life is a gift. Live where you can feel the gift, and express the gift to others. Receive the gifts of others gratitude in return. I want you to be well, really, really well.

W: Thank you, Father.

DF: Thank you, Wayne.

 You Can’t Save A Story Whose Time Is Done: Dialogues With Divine Father Day Three

Wayne's Mandala

W: Hello Father.

DF: Hello Wayne.

W: Father, I have a curious question for you.

DF: Curious I like. Please.

W: What is this connection that you and I share?

DF: Say more.

W: I mean, is it real, or is it imagined? Who is the you that I contact? How are the people who are reading this supposed to hold it? Am I like, ‘downloading God’? That’s quite a claim. If I could convince folks of that, it should sell for a fortune.

DF: I know you’re playing a bit dumb here, Wayne, but I can play along. Hopefully, we don’t offend folks with our condescension.

Of course, this is your imagination. And it’s very real. Both are true. Every belief about God that is on the planet now began in the imagination of one person, became stronger as that became a shared imagination and what came next were stories. There is nothing more profound than stories to move people and the universe. Hopefully, you and I will get real comfortable in your imagination and begin a brand new story.

W: Wow, so why do we trip over that, Father, the argument that something real isn’t imagined? As you say… what you just said, I can get that everything we call ‘real’, obviously began in the imagination, as an image. ‘Imagination’ and ‘real’ aren’t as far apart… as we imagined.

DF: And I don’t mean to jump to far ahead here, Wayne, but once you get that, then and only then can you actually take responsibility for the stories you are living from, the stories that are living you, and the stories you are giving strength to by doing so.

W: Let’s go there in a moment. I need to feel this piece that God is all in my head.

DF: And your heart.

W: And my heart.

DF: Right.

W: Not sure where to go now, you’re tweaking me.

DF: Tweaking’s good.

W: In the Christian bible… now there’s a story and a half that really held my consciousness for most of my life, first book ever written in fact…the deal was whether I believed the story as offered to be ‘thee truth’ or not that determines if I would go to heaven or hell. Those are two more very big stories, which goes to show…. what, Father?

DF: That anyone can be a really lousy story teller and get lots of people to listen.

W: You’re calling me a dumb dumb?

DF: Ahh, Wayne. No, I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that we’re going to need to have some fun with this if we’re gonna blow up a story the size of the moon and come up with a new one.

W: So that’s what you have in mind.

DF: Father God vs. Heavenly Father. May the best God win!

W: You’ve already got a bit punchy in the first two days about false god stuff. It scares part of me with the shit you might stir up. I might need to double check with my parts if they are up for this ride?

DF: You may need to. You’re right.

W: Okay, I’ll do that.

DF: Good.

Here’s the thing, Wayne. The whole world is drowning in stories that have outlived their usefulness. The old God stories are stories in the most absolute sense possible. Humans are only and ever moved by nothing more than story.

W: Even I used to admit as a Christian, that the God story of the bible was in the truest sense, only and ever a story, but one that I believed to be a true story, something that really happened, that the story just gave an accurate account of.

DF: But you had no way of actually knowing if the story was a literal account or just a story pulled out of someone’s…mind.

W: All I could do for me, or offer to the person who I wanted to adopt the story like I had, was that they needed to believe, because there was no other way of proving per se. We don’t have talking snakes in our present ‘real’ world.

DF: And you know, that’s another bummer. I think all snakes should talk.

W: You’re proving to be quite a character.

DF: If we are busy reinventing God, don’t you think we should make it interesting? I’d like to be interesting.

W: But God, there’s a lot of people who’d be pissed as hell if these dialogues go anywhere out there in story land, and they’ve proven they can do some serious shit when they all get together and get pissed enough.

DF: And I say, piss on them. Truly. They are in the hell of their own choosing and there is no helping them.

W: Do you really mean that, Father God? I mean, it hurts to feel people really beyond help.

DF: Okay, so I’m a bit of an ass. It’s just how I’m feeling today. Maybe tomorrow, you’ll get something different out of me. The deal is though that people, if they are anything, they are subscribers to story. It is story that leads, guides and directs. Consciousness arising is simply taking responsibility for the stories you’ve let get in on the inside. Want a real and lasting deep life change? Look at the story you are reenacting, and find a new one, or better yet, make one up! God dammit!

W: There’s still stories I still want to change in my life.

DF: See, you’re anything but a dumb dumb, Wayne. You see that everything literal is born of story, and all story is imagination, and an imagination led by heart and love literally recreates the world. Nothing can stop a story whose time has come. And nothing can save an old story whose time is up. Sorry ‘Heavenly Father’,… loving jerk with ninety some percent of your subjects roasting in eternal hell-fires with not even the courtesy of an end to existence.

W: Wow, when you say it that way, you’re not half as nasty as that guy.

DF: You think I’m nasty?

W: I’m just getting to know you.

DF: With a couple reservations…

W: Maybe a couple…

DF: Good, you don’t want to buy any more tall stories.

Thank you again, Divine Father. I want your help in feeling the stories I have running, and guidance around finding replacements. Ones I can feel and heal with.

Let’s do that, Wayne. We’ll get beyond the angst, really we will, into heart and love and passion. I’m not sure what, but like I said, no use coming up with a dull story, nobody’d pay no mind. Manana, Amigo.

 Never Ending Deepening In Love And Wonder: Dialogues With Divine Father Day Two

Wayne's Mandala

W:  Hello, Divine Father

DF:  Hello, Wayne.

W:  Thank you for being and thank you for being here with me.

DF:  You’re welcome, Wayne.

W:  Well, Father, I’m not sure how to begin.

DF:  You just start.

W:  Okay. I can feel Tristan inside of me, he’s my retiring contractor wanting to tell you a little story. I’m glad he feels okay to be this direct with you.

DF:  I’d love to hear that story.

Tristan:  Tristan says: Hello Father.

DF:  Hello Tristan.

T:  Yesterday, after we talked with you. I felt a bit overwhelmed taking on another big project of writing every day. There’s the time needed to write, check it over, and then get it ready for posting and all of that. Then there’s the impact on the morning work schedule we’ve been keeping around cob building that affects working with Jillian and Christopher. So I asked you for some guidance and support around all of that. I felt myself settle into trust around it as the day went on, but then at bedtime, there was a cool gift.

DF:  Cool gifts are really good. What was it?

T:  A firefly flew right into our room, after dark, landed on my e-reader, buzzed around, all lit up, and then sat on the wall on the slow fade in and out setting. We named him Sparky.  Jillian got out of bed to get our animal totem booklet and this is what it said about the firefly: Keep your hope strong. New Inspiration is awakening. Trust your own rhythms. Hope is critical to fulfillment and accomplishment.

DF:  Awesome, Tristan. And how does that help you now?

T:  Well, I’ve been doing so much linear mind stuff all my life, technical customer service stuff and painting contracting that it was difficult to feel any of it inside of a divine container. Stuff like the firefly’s message helps me see the divine reverence for all of life that underlies all things. I really want to see that more and more.

DF:  And Tristan, so you shall my friend, so you shall.

T:  Thank you Father.

DF:  No, thank you. Thank you for your overwhelm, for being willing to feel it and  ask for help from inside of it, feel your trust, find your answer and especially thank you for being willing to share it. You are a great man with a child’s heart.

Wayne:  Thank you for feeling Tristan, Father.

DF:  You’re both welcome, big time.

W:  Now my heart is overwhelmed again, but with a really good feeling of being loved, and unique, and connected. I can feel your energy and heart going into Tristan and me both.

DF:  Divine overwhelm.

W:  So you are into fireflies?

DF:  I am. That is just part of the whole lit up deal, you know.

W:  The whole lit up deal?

DF:  The whole lit up deal. That’s as good a name for it as any. It’s when life takes on a new and deepening glow because you choose to see.

W:  I choose to see and yet I know that I want to see so much more.

DF:  If you are willing to see, Wayne, and willing to need and feel, I can assure you the rest of your days will be filled with deepening wonder, deepening experience of love.

W:  Wow, I really wonder if I can let that in, Father. How do I really feel deep down inside of me about a never ending deepening in love and wonder?

DF:  Wayne, even the means to let in more capacity to let in love is something that is given to you inside of relationship. You use up what you have and come back for more.

W:  That’s feels like what’s really true for me right now Father, thank you.

I want to let in my next pieces, big or small. Life has changed so much this past year with leaving Canada, laying down an old livelihood, and moving to an off grid ranch in rural Mexico. Many times, parts of me feel a missing of something, having let go of so much, being in so much newness and trust. But really, I can’t really place what it is that I miss from my old life. It feels like what I am really aching for is a deeper and more moment by moment felt connection with you. I guess I’ve used up what I had and am hungry for more, like you say.

DF:  Wayne. Love is here now. For you. With me. A deep awareness that all of life is arrayed in union to bring you goodness, heart, and meaning. Everything that I am and all that I have, I share it with you, as you do likewise. Nothing can separate you from this love, never, ever.

W:  And I choose again in this moment to let this love in, to let it fill me, move me, bathe me, to let it color how I feel about myself, how my parts feel about themselves.

DF:  Wayne, do that. Do just that. Please. From my end, love that doesn’t get to flow because of a stopped up heart that can’t or won’t receive it is a royal pain in the ass.

W:  I’ll bet. Like clogged plumbing.

DF:  Exactly.

W:  Thank you, Father. I feel to pause on words and conversation and let in this feeling that is here now. Not that we can’t talk more as we go, it’s just that I need to walk it out. I feel you shifting something big in me, making room for where we are going, wherever that is.

DF:  Good call. Tomorrow then?

W:  Yes, as we say here, Manana.

Exchanging Letters: Dialogues With Divine Father Day One

Wayne's Mandala

Recently, Jillian, Christopher and I, were feeling together the need and desire to embrace the voice of the Divine Father in this time of deep global transmutation and change. Who are you? What is your deepest and truest path? What changes should you embrace to find that? I deeply hope and desire that Dialogues With The Divine Father will take you naturally to your answers to those questions, and to more of your own unique and sovereign connection with The Divine.

Wayne Vriend

A god who can’t feel you, or that you can’t feel is no god at all.

Dear Divine Father,

This is Wayne.

I hope you don’t mind being called that. I need a personal name for the sacred masculine and I’m open to calling you whatever you’d like. It’s just that the Christians took up heavenly father already, and look where that’s gone, and you seem so much more here than heavenly, and the native term of father sky seems too far off somehow for me too. Maybe this is because of my heavy conditioning this life to see the sacred and spiritual as cordoned off somehow from the natural and everyday and mundane. I’d sure like to talk more with you about that one for sure. What I’m feeling is that I long to relate with you and integrate that relationship into my real everyday life. Then I had this idea that I’d like to have and write a daily dialogue starting today, and I’d like to know what you think of that. Like, if I’m going to do this, why not make it public and share it as an offering of my deepest gifts into the world? I did that for 90 days With Yeshua and it changed me so much, that I’m still trying to catch up with it in many ways. Yeshua has a ton of the sacred masculine running, as you know, and our species, me included, has never needed a big dose of the sacred masculine more than it does now.

I feel, Divine Father, that spirituality in general has muddied the waters to the degree where most people don’t see a personal connection with you as a birthright, or native to them, but as a far off removed attainment of some weird kind. My sense is that talking with you, feeling and listening, and then writing what I feel in response is the real deal, available to all. I know so many have tried to make it something more spiritually spooky than that, but mostly what they did was exclude themselves as well as install what amounted to a control and power mechanism over others. No offense if you actually are more spiritually spooky than I’ve imagined, it’s just that I have a heart that feels and speaks and listens and I want to engage that, trust that, that that is enough to learn what I need to learn and long to learn.

Yeshua said so much about how true learning begins with not knowing, the quest of true questions, and I feel how he got that all from you, by not knowing, and questing with his questions. I have a ton of questions, Father. Tons and tons. Each answer I get leads to more questions.

Calling you Father just now makes me feel the young part of me that I call ‘Magical God Child, or MGC for short.’ He’s a new part that I just met recently and I’m guessing that a more personal name will arise for him as I get to know him better, but I wanted to tell you about him, as I can feel his interest in this conversation.

In short, Divine Father, we are so longing to find a sacred masculine energy with which to sort ourselves out. The masculine and the feminine too are at a deep crossroads, our entire human history it feels like is at a place of a sacred death and rebirth. Something huge is collapsing, something whose time is completing and making way for something new.

All of that metaphysics is way cool of course, but then there’s the me who lives in Mexico, on a remote ranch, with my wife and close friend, that really wants to be able to apply this connection with you when I’m watering the garden or treading out another batch of cob for the cabanas we’re building. What is moving in me moment by moment? And how is that a reflection of what’s real in my relationship with you, Divine Father?

I should wrap this up because I can feel you eager to respond and patient too to let me say all I want to say. Thank you. Thank you for the prompt and the idea to start this dialogue. I need the connection and I need to give my deepest gifts of sharing that connection.

Yours truly,

Wayne

**

Dear Wayne,

This is Divine Father.

Thank you for contacting me. You’re right, contacting me is so easy, so easy in fact, that’s what makes it difficult for most people. It only requires need and vulnerability and desire. Sadly though, getting there is the biggest and hardest part of the journey. But so doable, if anyone wants to.

Wayne, you are so all over the place, (if you don’t mind me saying), in a really good way. I have always loved that about you. Thank you for questioning and thank you for not being satisfied with the answers. Most people have yet to conceive that there is much I don’t know. They then create a false god image of me who is all knowing so they can pretend to be little sub versions of it, godliness with a sprinkle of false humility to keep the cover.

I said ‘they’ just now, didn’t I? I don’t mean to be distancing in my wording, it’s just that there is in fact a big distance between me and so many. The distance is not innate, or uncrossable, but it is relational. Need, desire and want has to lead. Truth is, I’m lonely for connection with you, and in danger of learning to settle for the lack of connection. Nothing lights me up more than someone who wants to connect. See that, contrary to popular misconception, needs is another thing I have.

Back to your letter. Pardon me, I was noting you for being all over the place. I feel a booming yes to everything you said, but let me see what I need to mention specifically. Calling me Divine Father is fine, as long as I can call you Divine Son. I am not ashamed in any way to be called and known as your father, but so deeply honored. You could call me Wayne’s dad too for that matter. Yeshua was never my only begotten son, but let’s save that for later. Yes, we can fill up a lot of days with dialogue. I’d like that a lot. It’s going to take us some time to feel totally comfortable with each other, but that’s all good and part of the process. I’m liking the 90 days thing again actually like you did with Yeshua, but we can let that unfold and see where it goes.

I feel Magical God Child inside of you and I’d like to get to know and feel him deeply as we go. Thank you for introducing us already.

You’re so right about the complications and pretzels people put themselves in trying to relate or not to relate to what really amounts to their own divinity. I am not ‘god’ as many conceive of when they use that title. That bastard is a false idol construct created out of the ample supply of true relational disconnect. I’m sorry dear Christian, dear Buddhist, dear Muslim if that offends, and I know it does, but I invite you to feel into the possibility that any real and dear feelings you have towards ‘god’ are in fact a measure of your and my actual and real connection. Your true and deep connection with god is owned by no one, cannot be certified by anyone, and cannot be taken from you or given to by anyone. It’s sovereignly yours, because you are a sovereign. We get to share and relate inside of sovereignty. Anything less is a fraud and a deception of everything you and I actually are.

Yes, we can take all this up and more up in question and quests. Let’s call it that instead of question and answer. I can promise you that you will not come out the other side of this the same. People know that intuitively, don’t they? Real relationship always changes deeply, hence the false substitutes. Change needn’t be nearly as scary inside of a real relationship. Change is as natural as being born, which is meant to be the first of many. You so touch me, Wayne, with your willingness to embrace change, to let it in and welcome it.

I feel your heart’s cry for a deeper knowing and feeling of real divine-sacred-masculine energy and power in your day to day grounded and real life. How you feel about yourself in any and every moment is the essence of life, the essence of divinity and the essence of the sacred journey called humanity. So let’s feel together, Wayne, every day, if we can. Let’s share the feeling, because a feeling is only a feeling if it is felt by an other….hello?

A god who can’t feel you, or that you can’t feel is no god at all.

Man, I get what you say, Wayne, I should probably end this for now. Save it for our daily digest. I think I need the day to get ready for what’s coming tomorrow. Thank you for taking my suggestion so seriously. I hope this touches many and deeply so, and draws more people to connect with you, and Jillian and Christopher. I feel the project you are undertaking.

And one more yes. Yes to you giving your deepest gift to the world. There’s one of the biggest secrets in the universe about how to find your deepest and truest destiny. Set out to give your deepest gifts. Let that lead you step by step, and you can be rest assured that will lead so many fewer regrets, and deep joy and love of being.

Yours truly,

Divine Father

Letting Go Of Who You Are Not: Life At El Rancho

IMG_2036

 By Wayne Vriend

It’s been a couple months now just about since arriving at our destination: Rancho Amigos, though my sense of tracking time is way off from what it used to be. It sure doesn’t feel in any way like January, sitting here at 9 in the morning in shorts and a tee shirt on the veranda of our ‘guest house.’ I occasionally glance at the date on my cell phone, when I’m using it for it’s main purpose lately: the Spanish English dictionary app. I haven’t received a call on it for months now. It feels new and strange to not have reason to track the date, or the time of day for that matter.

We have a 250 watt solar panel, an inverter, and 4 very heavy batteries, that works great to power our laptops, run a few kitchen appliances etc. It’s kind of like camping on steroids. The blend of technology on what feels like me to be the edge of civilization provides quite the contrast. I tell myself to enjoy while we have it, because we don’t have the means to replace this stuff when it gives up. Thank God my 8 year old laptop isn’t complaining.

As I write this, I can feel the question of ‘Why am I writing, what am I wanting or seeking?’ or does it have more to do with contributing, giving back? I’ll keep feeling that as I write and see where this goes.

The last several days have felt intensely full. We moved from our tent camp on the ranch into the guest house after the workers completed some bathroom and outdoor kitchen tiling and plumbing connections. It all had to ‘hand bomb’ our stuff up a hill, as part of me likes to call it, as the ranch truck is waiting for a part from town. Then we planted our 900 square feet garden. The garden has felt like such a lifeline. We’re hoping to drastically reduce the amount of fruits and vegetables we buy in town on our weekly trip, in keeping with our budget predictions, more or less.

Back to the questions above: I can feel a part of me hesitant to write, not sure what tack to take. Shall we share the content of what life is like and what is changing externally with some commentary on the internal changes that afford that? Why bother writing about it at all? Is anyone being helped by it? Is part of me hanging on to an old identity of a blogger, writer, and healer as a steadying handrail in the midst of so much change? The questions are all here and baking in the oven so to speak. The answers aren’t clear.

I can so feel the surrender that it has taken to choose this path over the past year, and how that has been a continuation really of the past 10 years…letting go of the familiar when it feels time. When something feels complete in your life, staying any longer inside of that place has a signature feeling of you stagnating, of dying. Something wants to die all right, but only to make way for new life. Death can be so full of life, if we surrender to it. It is actually the refusal to surrender to natural deaths in our lives that brings on a kind of death we were not meant for.

Surrendering into an unknown is avoided for the fear it brings of being with the questions the unknown brings with it. Why am I here? and Who am I? What makes me fulfilled? I’m really curious at this point what another year of this so much simpler life will bring in terms of meaning and fulfillment, how I will perceive myself, and others, how I will perceive my own power in the world around influence or money?

Unanswered questions are the best, so I’ll leave those to bake and yield whatever insights they may. Maybe when all of our questions are answered, the quest of life itself is no more. And whoever came up with the idea that God himself, herself or itself actually knows the answers? What if us questing with our questions is god just goddin’ through us? Huh? Way cool shit man. Way cooler than the ‘to hell with you if you don’t get it figured out right shit.

Letting go of the contextual quest for the moment and just being okay with the sacredness of the content…the changes here and now on the ground, in this phase of life I live. Can you feel the difference? Do you know the part of you that can get lost in content, all the doing of life? And the heart and soul part of you who seeks to rise above it? Both are necessary and need to be baptized into the sacredness of a whole-some you.

As I was saying, about the content:

Internet: Getting the Internet here on the ranch is a $3,000 satellite installation away I’m told, and we’re not so sure we actually want it, even if we could afford it. That leaves us two hours drive away from the internet cafes and means that it has to fit into the trip to town day which has meant for me 20 minutes on line for every 2 weeks. It continues to open out for us how big a step it is to get out of the internet grids 24/7. It makes space for returning to our essential beings, being in nature and in our humanity. It’s kind of like those weird kids of my generation that grew up without TV, and how they were the most creative kids on the block.

Money: I did the last of my painting contracting days in August of last year in Canada, earning crazy good money. Doing something for 30 years enabled a finding of the best situations as far as easy money was concerned, but it also left me in a frequency zone of being a painting contractor, ready, willing and available, that was becoming less and less of who and what I am. Not that I’m real sure of who I am as I said earlier, but oftentimes, it’s about letting go of who you are not, or who you are not any longer. We alchemized and pooled all the money we could for this move to Mexico beginning when we decided to come in May of last year. We have about a year or more of money on hand to buy necessities if we live very simply, and partake of the yields of the garden, as well as the many fruit varieties on the ranch.

There isn’t any money income coming our way that we know of or expect. That’s an ongoing adjustment for me, at times that has felt totally scary, but each time, as I feel the fear and what’s behind it, it opens out into a trust and a rest. It births a trust in who we are and the value that we bring to life and others that will translate into our needs being met, but probably not so much through the fiat currency channels as the means of exchange that we have all become so entrained in. Today for example, I just brought a very welcomed coffee to the construction workers and one of the workers promised to bring me cocoa plant seedlings next week. Another promised me something yesterday from his garden that I didn’t understand. The energy of being in exchange with people feels like the natural and necessary future for us.

Social: Our English works well of course for the four of us on the ranch here, but that’s the end of it. Everyone else here is a Spanish speaker at the moment. The other ‘members’ of the ranch that have homes under construction are still waiting to move in and only visit here occasionally. So we practice our growing Spanish every day with the 4 ranch workers and the 6 construction workers that either camp out for the work week or horseback it daily here. It’s a bit of a euphoric experience to speak English with anyone outside of the four of us.

Pausing here in the writing for now, other things call in the moment….mostly life to be surrendered and responded to.

Letting Go Of Cultural Assumptions : Mission To Me Journal With Wayne and Yeshua

missiontomewayne

By Wayne Vriend

Wayne – Whoa, Yeshua. Can’t guess where to begin just now. So much changing…Are you up for dialogue?

Yeshua – You know me, I miss interaction of heart and feeling. Nothing satisfies like it.

W – I know. I’ve always hungered for that my whole life it seems. What is it that makes way for that and what is it that shuts that down between people?

Y – It has so much to do with your assumptions about life, how you deeply and especially subconsciously feel about your life, your relationships to everything, the planet, others, divinity.

W – Somehow, though knowing you, I don’t think you have a ‘change your belief system’ prescription answer to this though.

Y – That has been a popular prescription, but it is now being realized that this is such an outside-in approach, trying to deal with the unwanted symptoms of the much deeper held felt reality of someone’s life. When something is truly addressed and moved on this deep heart level, there isn’t any need for belief system adjustments to tidy up the mess.

W – This whole realm feels so alive for me personally right now as we’ve just left Canada permanently, embraced Mexico, and are being introduced to a brand new, to us at least, culture. Then, on top of that, preparing to live even more remotely and deeply off the grids of western civilization at the ranch.

Y – That will wake you up for sure.

W – It so does. It wakes up a lot of stuff. Desire, passion, joy, for sure, but that’s not all. I’ve also felt some pretty deep fear places that I didn’t know were still there to the level they were.

Y – Which brings us to one of humanity’s biggest and longest surviving assumptions about life itself……

W – Here comes the heart and soul interaction, please go on, seatbelt’s fastened.

Y – One the single largest and lasting false assumptions about life is that fear is an enemy. Fear is not an enemy, but a very natural part of life. People don’t go crazy because of their fears, but because of their resistance to feeling their fears. Being human is being in fluent contact with whatever fears come up. Most people structure everything about their lives to spare them this sovereign responsibility. Keeping life the same as much as possible, (which is such a rinky-dink achievement at best; because life itself will always undermine the best of these change-less fortresses) is an attempt literally against your true human and divine nature.

W – I know I could use some more kindergarten around this one because I surprised myself lately with what fears are still lurking, and don’t feel very far away from me even right now.

Y – That’s nice and humble of you to make the beginner kindergarten reference, but really that’s another thing rooted in the fear picture.

W – I was feeling that as I said it.

Y – Well, what was the fearful part of you trying to cover over?

W – Fearing not being seen as relevant and relatable.

Y – Being real is the very definition of being relatable. Hiding a fear is the very essence of withdrawing yourself from the human experience. Can you tell me the texture of this fear of not being relatable?

W – The texture is something like being estranged or excluded from a source of love, which then manifests in a shrinking-to-fit the people I’m relating to.

Y – Being more than or less than you truly are, are both equally an expression of an unfelt fear. And this unfelt fear that is disowned and unacknowledged in this way, goes on to remove the heart and soul from your sacred grounding in your real sacred human experience and sovereign territory.

W – Which gets us back to the assumptions you were talking about.

Y – How so…teacher?

W – When I’ve subscribed to the lie that a successful or meaningful or powerful life is about having less fear or anxiety, I structure everything in my life, my relationships, my spiritual, emotional, and physical health right down to the very cells in my body in an attempt to live inside of this assumption about life…..which given enough time, only eventually proves the falseness and uselessness of the assumption.

Y – Which ties into what?

W – Which ties into that one of our deepest soul fears is being in life without a clutching grasp on what reality is, what really matters…why I’m here and all of that…along with what really is ‘here’ for that matter. Honestly, I don’t know. Admitting that I don’t know enters me into true learning which isn’t about decoding the universe, but rather being caught up continuously in its unfolding wonder. Observer vs. knower and all of that good stuff.

Y – And what about all of the God shit religious people peddle……what’s that about?

W – When I feel into the god shit I peddled to myself and others, It’s really about our collective need to feel secure in having others living like we are, which is the very essence of culture, and cults for that matter.

Y – Which brings you back to what?

W – Well, if hiding from fear is a common to man assumption, albeit a hindering one, in this phase of our consciousness, it brings me back to a shared common denominator that I share with all men. None of us are excluded. We are all learning a similar lesson.

Y – But…what?

W – But, even in this common denominator, we are not the same. Each of us is at different places in this journey.

Y – Where are you at in this journey…I mean as near as you can tell?

W – Well, I’ve been doing a lot of letting go of my acquired cults and culture for a long time now it seems, courageously moving on from one life cycle to the next when it no longer felt like me. I just let go of another few big ones, with leaving my country, oh, and my livelihood career security blanket of the past 30 years.

Y – I’d say that’s a whole lot different than where the majority of humanity is at.

W – Yes, that is.

Y – Well then, fuck that kindergarten shit, man!

W – Thank you.

Y – Good answer! 🙂 Thank you!

Consciousness Awakening : Mission To Me Journal With Wayne and Yeshua

missiontomewayne

By Wayne Vriend

Wayne – Good Morning Yeshua.

Yeshua – Good Morning Wayne.

W – My last day in this resort, getting ready for the next phase.

Y – Yeah, and what are you feeling?

W – Well, it was a lot to take a bus ride yesterday to another resort town and be in amongst what feels to me, at least, like the masses. What is about all that that feels so taxing is what I’d like to feel into together today.

Y – People when they congregate in anything, be it a bus, or a city, or a village, they are tying into cultural expectations and adaptations about how to be in the presence of others. What drives this is genuine human need. The result however is a long ways away from anything resembling genuine.

W – Now I know why I like talking with you. You know how to get right to something.

Y – And that’s a good as example as anything. We, you and I are bringing are needs into the circle of our togetherness, feeling what we want and need. We call that expressing. The point of our connecting is not to hide our true wants, but rather to feel and express them and negotiate together for the meeting of those needs.

W – That feels like a world away from what I felt yesterday, or what I saw at the breakfast buffet this morning.

Y – It is literally an entire world away. A world is the sum of what any given culture has come up with as a way of being. Many different worlds within the world and all that, for sure. But even the words ‘the world’ have a huge cultural assumption in them, that is that the world as one knows it is in fact the depth of reality, and that is without a doubt, the height of hubris and stupidity.

W – Some of us are just plain stupid?

Y – Well, being stupid in the original sense of the word means to be amazed or stunned. Most are so amazed and stunned that they inhabit a human body and express as a human being, that they are fused to that stunned state. They can’t see beyond it or around it to feel their unique state.

W – Which leaves them little ground to feel self worth.

Y – Exactly. Their own uniqueness and wonder is lost on them. A deep sense of meaningless and existential depression is their lot. W – Which to me, and I hesitate here, because a part of me feels it to be too judgmental, but I might as well say what I’m thinking,… is that their state isn’t much different than being an animal, and much of the time, what we consider a lesser animal at that.

Y – I feel that’s accurate Wayne.

W – Is that Okay? I mean, should it be our mission to raise their consciousness to the level of their actual being, out of the state that their consciousness has fallen into?

Y – Careful on that one. I’d say that the best approach is to see yourself as a cooperator with someone who is sovereignly coming into a deeper consciousness, not as a creator of that state. You can’t awaken anyone who’s choosing to remain where they are. You’re being who you are is plenty of light and invitation to any soul who is ready for your help.

W – That takes the stress out of that one.

Y – Totally. And feel too how when you are unhealthily pressing on someone to wake up, a part of you is actually struggling with it’s own awakening.

W – I think I see that.

Y – What do you see about it?

W – Well, it’s a painful process to leave the familiar, and the deepest level of familiar is not our language, food and surroundings, but our level of consciousness. Waking up on that level is where the existential pain and fear of not finding meaning or connection comes in. Sailing for another shore involves leaving one behind. So when I’m frustrated with someone who is unwilling to awaken, I need to check in to feel if a part of me is resisting my own movement.

Y – Thank you. Yes. And doesn’t this elevate the whole feeling of what it means to be a human. I’m talking about the grace and space to feel yourself. This is more than self-awareness. This self-awareness though is only the beginning on the path to self love. In between and all along the way comes deeper discoveries of meaning and worth. That’s the theory of it, not to be mistaken for the reality of it.

W – And the reality of it feels like is a life long journey. I’m never actually in possession of ‘it’ somehow.

Y – True, in the flow of it, the expansion of it, often the struggle of it, but such a worthwhile way to be human.

W – Because…

Y – Because there’s no greater container for the entire human experience than to be journeying to discover deeper and deeper experiences and the feeling of your own worth and value, which of course is tied to the worth and value of all of your fellow humans. And what else, …my god, your energy around this awakens me man…what else is that, that alive energy in you of feeling who and what you are is what triggers that around you in others without you having to get into efforting that. It’s an effortless achievement when you trigger an awakening in someone by your being. You’re just being you. This is the deepest level of gift expression.

W – And really the funnest fun, because I get to see more of my emerging self.

Y – Totally Man.

W – My butt’s getting sore Yeshua. I’d like to go feel this by the poolside some more.

Y – I’m not boring you am I?

W – My god, anything but!

Y – Good.

W – I see your sensitive too?

Y – Well of course I am. I’m not a know it all. I’m a feel it all. Being willing to feel it all is being willing to be vulnerable, and that includes being vulnerable to having love with others.

W – I love you.

Y – I love you too.

The Collapse Of The Constructs Of Not Feeling: Mission To Me Journal With Wayne And Yeshua

By Wayne Vriend

Wayne – Hey Yeshua.

Yeshua – Hey Wayne.

W – No clue where to go today, as is often the case, but just connecting and seeing where we end up has proven the best way to go, with you.

Y – Well, let’s connect then. What’s up for you?

W – Resting a lot this week, I got past that flat feeling that was a big part of yesterday. Reading a lot too about collapse.

Y – We haven’t talked much about collapse for a while have we?

W – Well, it’s been tied in for sure, but not so much directly.

Y- Wanna go there?

W – Sounds great to me, I could really use your take and input. Collapse is a big thing to hold, being so cross current to grain of our society.

Y – It really isn’t hard to see that collapse is happening already, and sudden and surprising further shocks are not far away.

W – I get that. I’ve been reading a lot of people who feel the same way, and yet I feel something is missing, especially from some of the most gifted and well known writers on the subject.

Y – What do you suspect that missing something is?

W – I know that it has to do with a bigger context, a container with which to hold all of the information. The information and guidance and research as valuable as it is contending to get people to wake up, and making it’s case for the coming collapse…but still, it doesn’t do something for me, that I wished it did. I can’t quite put my finger on it though.

Y – feel for a moment…

W – Feel what?

Y – Feel what it is that you are reaching for when you are taking in those authors and bloggers?

W – Okay. I feel how ‘not at home’ I feel in the present social construct, how stifling it actually is to me, and what I’m reaching for, it feel like has to do with a completely new arrangement of our social order, around deeper heart expression and meaning, much deeper. I hope that something of that is on the other side of collapse.

Y – for you…

W – Yes.

Y – That ache Wayne, that you are willing to feel, is what most are not willing to feel. To want something deeply that you don’t currently have or feel a tangible guarantee of obtaining is the essence of true vulnerability, as well as courage. It opens my heart to feel that in you.

W – Thank you Yeshua. Your helping me loosen it up a bit. It’s a realness that I have only found in such tiny moments or very select relationships that I want more of.

Y – I feel how your soul gets all lit up around a hope of a new beginning in heart to heart.  Collapse clears the deck so real grounded human need can cut through the cultural bullshit to this new possibility. You’re on it.

W – On it, how so?

Y – Heart to heart is the new emerging reality and container that wants to flow out of collapse. Collapse is the falling apart of the inauthentic and false-self based ways of relating to others. We talked before about the illusion of the separate self. That illusion is what needs to go. When it is sufficiently gone, then one can no longer inflict harm or take advantage of an other, because harming an other is harming self. And guess what else?

W – What?

Y – They can’t inflict harm on themselves either, after this illusion falls away, because harming themselves is the same as harming an other, because of our complete connection with every cell of life. It works both ways.

W – That’s cool, because I observe people in self suicide mode, who recognize the ship is sinking, yet can’t get themselves in gear to seek to leave the ship. And with every passing moment, the window of opportunity is clsoing.

Y – This is the essence of being in life and being surrendered to life that the soul is working through. Your soul has wrestled through these pieces a whole bunch to get where you are around it. Many just aren’t there yet. There’s a lot at stake for them this life, but the soul itself is never at stake, just it’s growth. It is always learning and growing it’s way into courage, vulnerability and the true power of love, especially through collapse. Love wins out in the end.

W – So collapse is not the enemy?

Y – Collapse is nature mi Amigo, and there’s one thing about nature, it is never in a panic. People project their own inner feelings of panic upon their lives and natural cycles. That’s what you are feeling when you are reading many people’s collapse writing. It’s the feeling of their own in-surrender to life, their reach for some safety guarantee to be found in externals and preparation. To the degree all that planning and preparation is founded in what they haven’t been willing or able yet to feel is the degree that the writing is based in a panic frequency even though the words are saying ‘let me help you.’ In truth, the soul of the writer is actually asking ‘Someone help me?’

W – But isn’t panic a good thing, I mean if the ship is sinking and all?

Y – True, but the panic is felt by the immediate reality that if you don’t move, you die physically. On a soul level, It’s not as clear for most people. We’re talking about a resistance to feeling a true and grounded panic to what is at stake for the heart and soul. It’s like If I don’t admit my need or my terror, and side in with the ‘all is well’ conspiracy, then that’s what will be true for me. I’d vouch a long ways for creating your own reality and all that, but in this case, the person needs to create their own reality in light of the sinking ship, because inaction is only going to result in creating the reality that they fear. It’s being afraid of death actually, but this feeling is subconscious and so the feeling is unfelt. This is what leads to the reality of death. I rest my case, we all do create our own reality. It’s just not some big spiritual attainment. Every day folks have already mastered this spiritual reality like a guru, they just don’t know it. Where some growth and attainment comes into the picture is being willing to feel what they have avoided feeling. What’s collapsing is the entire construct of avoiding feelings, and what’s arising out the ashes is the new birth of heart and feeling.

W – I think you’re tweaking all of us now, by that I mean me and anyone reading this. What would you add to that about gaining this feeling capacity that is so missing and wants to be born in us collectively?

Y – Well, it’s like you did yesterday. You admitted feeling flat and feelings of self judgment about what you weren’t doing that you could have been doing. These emotions have been hardwired somehow in the human psyche to avoid or suppress, when what’s being revealed now is that they, meaning the entirety of what you feel, that you like and that you don’t like, is the entrance into your own authenticity and power. People feel that if they shed their nice guy polite shit, there wouldn’t be restraint on their destructive energy, when really that destructive pent up energy is really just their authentic selves locked away. This is just kindergarten really for the heart and the emotions. A beginning place, that can take you to some crazy cool places as you’ve found out some.

W – yeah and I’m wanting to find out a whole bunch more.

Y – Cuz you’re a maniac.

W – who talks to Jesus no less.

Y – Hey, you’re not the only one taking flack for being strange man. I get the same deal from the guys i hang with about your and I’s connection. Their just jealous though. This is the shit the entire universe has groaned in travail for and you and got it going in an all inclusive package.

W – Thanks Yeshua, I feel myself getting slowly back up to your and I’s speed.

Y – Likewise, thanks Man.

W – I love you man.

Y I love you too, MAN.

The Cause Of Being Is Your Because: Mission To Me Journal With Wayne And Yeshua

Wayne – Hey Yeshua, I’m up for more if you are.

Yeshua – I’m in. How are you doing?

W – You caught that huh? I’m feeling a bit blah actually and a part of me is eager for there to be a bit more clarity about what’s going on. I don’t feel much motivation. I could be studying Spanish or doing exercise, but the get up and go for that isn’t there right now.

Y – And what’s wrong with that?

W – Well, a conditioned part of me doesn’t like feeling the blahs. I suspect something bigger than I can track right now is being rewired at the moment. After all, I am 1 week into a new country, and a few weeks retired from a 30 year career.

Y – Won’t you be surprised by where we go today?

W – I’m counting on it actually. But I think you’re gonna have to lead here. From where I’m coming from in the moment, I can’t feel much.

Y – And what’s the doorway into feeling?

W – I’d say it’s admitting that I’m not feeling much and that I’d like to be feeling a lot more.

Y – And what is the world of feeling?

W – hmmm, I’d say feeling is…..feeling is like a flood of self worth, and self-recognition that so inflates….and that comes from the internal, rather than the external. Sometimes the external is what triggers the internal…

Y – Okay, hold on for a second now. Self worth. Feeling worth. Feeling great about yourself.

W – Right…

Y – And you say, you’re not feeling much of that this afternoon?

W- Honestly, no. I’m feeling a bit flat.

Y – What is flat?

W – It feels like some impulse to do something. After all I am in a resort, with time on my hands, and money too if need be.

Y – And why don’t you want to go out and do shit?

W – I just don’t see myself having a lot of enjoyment being in people’s disconnected vacation energy.

Y – Where would you rather be?

W – I guess I’d rather be here with you having this conversation.

Y – Is this going somewhere?

W – I was just about to ask you the same thing.

Y – Tell me your answer.

W – Feeling is beginning to trickle in as I connect with you.

Y – And what’s the feeling?

W – That I am loved and valued as I am and as a human, I have much greater depth and need in my being, and simple pat answers about ‘overcoming depression’ are a pathetic bullshit heap in comparison with the uniqueness and complexity and the worth of my being…

Y – Don’t stop now.

W – And of course I feel out of sorts. I just unhitched from peddling myself in the world as a house painter, something that was affecting me with the growing integrity gap of painting people’s homes when I wanted to tell people to get the hell out of their sinking titanic reality.

Y – You’re left with a vacuum.

W – Yeah, I get that part, but I’m still struggling to enjoy it, or to be at rest in it.

Y – In nature Wayne, things incubate, they bake and they reboot. A breakthrough moment isn’t any more sacred that a process moment leading up to that breakthrough.

W- You saying I’m a bit of a change addict.

Y – Y’a think?!

W – Maybe you can help me sort through this lifelong restless energy then. Yes, I’ve been impatient and surprised many times by how things that defined my life, I became suddenly done with.

Y – I’m not so sure I can do that for you.

W – Why not?

Y – Because only you can do it for you.

W – Can you help me grasp that then?

Y – That I can do.

W – That I would like.

Y – How many guys do you know that talk with Jesus on the drop of a hat on boring flat feeling afternoon?

W – Are you trying to cheer me up?

Y – God forbid. Let’s try another tack. You tell me what’s right about you?

W – I feel that it is because I am in touch with my heart that I can feel what I feel, rather than suppress it, even if it isn’t a high feeling, feel the desire and need and even frustration of a blocked need, and in that come back to myself.

Y – Uh, huh, I’m listening now.

W – I’ve actually managed to uncouple myself from an entangled and make believe  world where time and money perceptions are used to enslave and cap the deeper capacities. How many people pull that off? Every person around me that I watch, I can feel the ache in them, the unfelt desire they are reaching for, and I have the ability to actually help them. That’s like real fun, not a boat ride being pulled in parachute abound the Bay of Banderas. God help us.

Y – What else?

W – I’m able to give myself this hospital like experience of care and love and going real easy on myself, and am able to answer and hold the part of myself who is still prompted by doing and routine and achievement, and be okay with doing nothing if that is what is most authentic.

Y – Because…?

W – It’s the because of the cause of being. My being is in rest and in stillness, there is a pregnancy of unexplainable metamorphosis. That’s the cause. Being over doing. It’s not a ‘do-cause,’ it’s a ‘be-cause.’ Not killing the being’s authentic and actual experience with doing something, out of some fear of losing meaning or purpose or value. I am full of meaning, purpose and value. I’m just choking a bit getting myself wired up to this new reality and letting it in. I’m hot fucking stuff man. How’s that Yeshua?

Y – You are hot fucking stuff man. Way hotter than parts of you realize. Do you get that the divine has had to put like lamp shades on you to get you safely this far, for a reason that’s yet to be revealed to you, to your mind that is.

W – Part of me worries though that especially when I’m in a flat feeling space that I’m somehow the weak link in all this unfolding, that I need to be more something to actually inherit divine purpose or something.

Y – Letting go of THAT veil is all that’s required. That was the deal extended virtually every religion, especially the one that fucking tagged onto my name, god dammit! Reeking pile of stinking horseshit that jesus loving Christianity is.

W – Whoa, Yeshua, are you being a bit over the top?

Y – The whole entire shit pile is designed and engineered for adherents to be ensured that never recognize or feel their own divinity. You don’t get people to wake up to their divinity by flogging them into it, or scaring them into it. You only ensure that they remain hidden further and further from feeling who and what they actually are before they ever believe anything or lift a spiritual finger to do anything. That’s a shit pile conditioning and I’d like to tell that to EVERY single Christian out there and especially the beloved pastors and priest assholes who are now called upon to admit that they are a huge part of the problem, not the answer in their claim on truth.

W – Wow, that’s interesting to me, cuz I have my Christian badge as you know.

Y – Yeah, and I get how relateable and all you are when you talk to Christians.

W – Yeshua, I just feel the deal is falling apart in it’s own way and time, and folks need the time they need. I did.

Y – And I get that, and I’d like to stick dynamite under it all at the same time. Part of the shit you are choking on in beloved Puerta Vallarta is the horse-shit Jesus and Mary Statues that serve as energetic blockers to seeing what’s true on a deeper level. You need to feel how part of your energy being sapped is location based, where your fellow human souls, who are your brothers and your sisters are committed to staying stuck in the name of serving God.

W – You know Yeshua, THAT I feel, I feel how I miss deep heart connection with the people around me, the people I’ve known in my past. I’ve dreamt about so many of them in recent months. They are my brothers and my sisters, and yet that brotherhood and sisterhood isn’t transactable.

Y – There’s that be-cause popping out Wayne. You’ve been guided to walk where others are afraid to walk, then feel the missing of the connection that you gave up to take those steps and then invite all men and women into the deeper waters you’ve found and feel.

W – My god, don’t suppose there’s a higher calling than that, huh?

Y – Yeah, and you figured you could embrace all of that without some headwind?

W – Guess I just forgot…so I could re-member…

Y – Have you tried the tequila yet?

W – No.

Y – Put that on your list man.

W – Will do, and thank you again Yeshua.

Y – De nada.
