July 4, 2013  The Creator Writings

Do not worry if others do not see your work (spiritually or otherwise) as ‘important’. I will say this again; it is not important! Standing in your honesty and integrity may not win you admirers, but it does keep you on your path. Do not worry about what others think. If you trust in The Universe and its flow, you will always be headed in the proper direction. ~ Creator

Puppy Shadow and I found ourselves walking downtown this morning, and ended up stayed for the parade. In small town America, 4th of July parades are still a big deal, and Bloomington is no exception. Flags everywhere, of course. That’s not what bothered me. I’m used to this display of myopic “patriotism” once each year. It did bother me, by the way, when the flags were trotted out everywhere, I mean everywhere, waving from truck and high-rise windows, after 9/11. Yes, that did indeed bother me. Sent chills up my spine. Even as the towers went down, I had received the message: “inside job.”

So here we are, nearly 12 years later — that’s one Jupiter cycle of opportunity — Jupiter will return to the position it occupied on 9/11 at 11°30 Cancer, sign of home and family and community, in mid-August, this year. Let’s begin again, folks, let’s begin again a new Jupiterian cycle of opportunity, by shaking off our collective PTSD; let us shake off the reflexive, territorial “one nation under God” (as opposed to every other “nation” which our nation, if Empire is to continue galloping up the globe will, with “God’s” blessing of course, dominate!) to “Earth and Earthlings communing with the galaxy.” Something like that.

It’s Independence Day in the U.S.  Perfect.  Today we are focused on truth.  We’ve all memorized the first words of that Declaration: “When in the course of human events…”  Yet what about the last?  “We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

This document isn’t just about declaring our sovereignty, it’s about doing something.  One of two things become the focus of what we talk about and what we do – memories or opportunities.  It is the latter that sparks creativity, engagement, vitality, growth and evolution.  Memories can serve as the starting point, yet once they become our focus – we stagnate.

Take my car.  About two months ago, the tailgate stopped working.  To open it, I had to climb through the side door into the back to press the inside release.  At first I talked about it a lot, complaining.  Then I was gone for a week, not thinking about it at all.  Yesterday I approached the car, pressed the button on the key and it opened.  Only then did I remember it was broken.

Later, Dream Hopper asked “How’d you fix it?”  I said, “I just forgot it was broken.”

This is a dream.  Our focus and belief and actions determine what it looks like.  It wasn’t enough that I forgot the tailgate was broken, I had to press the button.
