We remember even now as ever more.

Elemental Thinking

In a moment of time the passing thought occupied my realization pre-conceived emotional passion ; came and went but not forgotten, stored as a treasure, gem stones and jewels in my memory that awakened with a song. That which shows itself and in the same time withdraws is the essential trait of what we call mystery. It In a par-sec of a second, a moment all by it self happens  like that life  does. I awoke from a lucid dream hearing water, like a brook in the wood streaming down hill toward a pond cool and clear on a hot summer day. I rested there for a while. I awoke again in the night and saw the reflection of the sky in the pond. I remembered and chose not to forget. I sat beside the shore and wanted to get in, but upon that thought I decided if I were to get into the water I would be getting into the sky. It happened like that. I saw the sky in the water and I saw the sky in the air above me and breathed it in and the sky filled my spirit and I was satisfied and content in the moment. Satisfied with the passionate emotion the thought provoked I fell back to sleep and decided my imagination was reality and it was, it is, forever a keepsake thought from some enlightened cherishing of creativity. Forever more I will remember the flight of imagination into the reality of thought.

Why not? If thinking is the essence of man then looking away from thinking is possible. A perpetual motion machine? Five steel marbles hanging from separate threads draw one and let it go and the far one on the other side responds adinfinitum. An object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by another force. An object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by another force. A natural law I remembered, a continual thought that reoccurs , nothing wasted, nothing lost, converted into energy the human mind responds in character; principles of thermodynamics and physics. Numbers too have their own meaning like words. One leading to another in response to the interaction of subliminal forces upon the consciousness. And then I realized I was awake in my own dream.

So how is thinking explained except by the willing of an idea, conceiving it, and then forming a perception; say it be real or imaginary everything in the mind has its own reality. The music plays on leading me to follow the rhythmic sequences of note, tone and harmony. Words too carry you along like a song without lyrics.

I will to consider  the transformation brought about by my own power to be creative with the thinking that I do, by the effort of imagination to go beyond and exceed my own expectations. With improvisation and spontaneity, conjecture and fact, non-fiction and fiction; an orchestration of complete magnificence, in syncopated time, rhythm and rhyme, pastel hues, different shades of gray,
particle acceleration in zero gravity surface in my own conscious subjection.

Invention, a curious thing to will to conceive something and bring it to a real perception, by the mind alone we drift and wander and wonder in continuous thought.

Another page in time, more thoughtful reflections in a midnight pond where sky is both up and around floating on the surface; perhaps with the changing constant variables of thought the enterprise of an idea wills itself into being and then becoming in a calculative and meditative thought written out on a printed page, the jazz of lyrics, line verse and thoughtful ramblings of a metaphysical poet.

The Moment of Decision

On the one matter is the reality of actuality and on the other is our creative imagination that gives to us the freedom to many believe in things unknown and unproven. The decision and choice is ours to have reason to hope and believe and have faith in what we want to believe.  Though many Angels may protect us demons constantly attack our mind with thoughts and in life attack our very existence with random chance and random events that bring situation and circumstance to the forefront of our survival. They challenge the roll of the dice and the draw of the card, but the power of thought provoking spiritual warfare is in our human nature.

Sure we have indifference to opinion, but remember opinion is infinitely debatable and because we have the freedom of thought sometimes our thoughts recognize differences of opinion are part of each of our personalities and character. You have to believe in something even if you have to believe in yourself to move on with time and age comes to you with wisdom and experience, along with random chance and situations, and conditions so give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference, and when I look into a mirror I recognize change starts with me and then the world around me and inside me will change; like nature, change is one constant element of life we can believe in and happens in a parsec of a moment without notice.

Living on the edge is challenging, pushing the envelope to the extreme balancing it on the close edge of the table keeping it from falling to the floor. But maybe the envelope cannot be pushed further than the imaginary limits we put on it? Perhaps there are no limits, but gravity cannot be denied unless you live in space where zero g’s are just fine with me. Somewhere between the top of the water and the sandy bottom of the ocean I balance myself  scuba diving in zero g conditions and focus just on the sound of my breathing and heartbeat. All the while keeping the original thought my mind gives its attention to- life surrounds me and goes on inside me and both realities exist simultaneously.

Remember an idea can be easily lost if not written down and there is more to reading than just the words; it’s the words that have meaning and we are given to thought provoking ideas when we read or even write; a territory of no man’s land uninhabitable except in our imagination, and after the power of a thought overwhelms us more thoughts arrive before we can think further and our mind races to keep pace with even our own thoughts. We have to create an openness or clearing space to negotiate all our thoughts and consider them and weigh their worth and value. We must consider our mindset and how we negotiate the way we think because it takes a certain way of thinking to realize the power of thought.

In brief we search for short term conclusions and deal with them as need arises. We must regard the contemplative and meditative conclusions we come to and the consequences they bring. We lead ourselves into the complexities of the human philosophy. Life goes on without regard for time because it is endless in the Golden Eternity and we are conscious except that we, in our days are surrounded by our sleep. When you add it all up the tears and pleasure are equal. Is it any wonder the monkey is confused? The interplay of thought and argument for the present moment is reflected in the attitude we have towards contemplative and meditative thinking; but we do get caught up in the moment and decision is based on the worth and value of pleasure without regard for consequence. And then we face head on with

With the consequences of our actions and reactions negotiating or own desires spontaneously and thoughtless in the moment of choice and decision.

Philosophical thinking: Space Shuttle Discovery Liftoff
a tribute to our hero astronauts who took to the sky for adventure
not for fame or glory but for all of humanity back on the good earth.
click on the title Space Shuttle Discovery Liftoff and this link will take you to the NASA Space Launch Facility to see the liftoff of the space shuttle Discovery

ready and waiting for countdown

Space Shuttle Discovery Liftoff

this was a moment in time captured by video

an unforgetable moment

and for those who never saw it

this is your chance to go back in time and see for yourself

a shuttle liftoff

now retired on a barge being tugged up river
to its Ner York Resting place

The Enterprise was the original test craft

when all systems checked out ok the crew of NASA began building

The Five main ships

we lost The Challenger on lift off

we lost The Columbia on re-entry

the others

The Discovery was the first to go into space

and then The Atlantis and The Endeavour made the original six ships

only five flew into space to build the international space station and to launch satelites especially The Hubble Telescope

we have cleared the tower
request orbit ops

it all started with a dream

like most things

our ideas, notions and concepts

we create hypothesis and actualize theory

we are not only thinking beings

we are dreamers too

first there was the Mercury missions

then the Gemini missions

then our shining moments with the Apollo missions

it's a test pilots world

sacrifice comes with a price

fame and glory and the reality of loss

pushing the edge of the envelope

just to see how fast and far we can go

up there it is an amazing reality
failure was not an option

this story is dedicated

to our heroes

they put their lives on the razors edge

for all of humanity

and the far side of the moon has a dim light

reflected from the stars.

who's the best pilot you ever knew?

well you looking at him

and for a moment

Gordon Cooper flew the fastest and furthest than anyone else before him

even Chuck Yeager was proud

see it's all about funding

no bucks, no Buck Rogers

it's about marketing yourself and your projects

and then you have to prove your worth.

Sunday Morning Post

if we do believe in Angels then they are near when we need them most

when my heart was broken
and my spirit confused
you brought me home
to start all over again.

So i'm on my way home
to cook dinner
and go to work tomorrow
to pay the bills that keep me going
rowing up stream against the current
of this winding river of life.

my world is constantly changing
just as yours is as well
all i can do is live
sometimes within the rivers' banks
sometimes overflowing into the low lands.

i looked around for a sign
and decided that everything is a sign,
take it for what it is
nothing more, nothing less.
let it be, let it be
whispering words of wisdom let it be.

i used to think it wouldn't have to be this way,
though things will be the way they are
just because we are only human
and have to learn all along the way
to which way we just don't know.

i know i haven't written you in a while
there's a lot going on
even as you know in your own life.
we overcome and surpass complications
thinking all the time
dreaming and wondering
how all this can be.
thank goodness for Sunday morning
let it be, let it be.

Thinking Philosophicaly

you've heard it before-
"the sky is the limit"-
but there is another sky above our own.

I am one of many
------------------------------
I am one of many but I am just one and alone I still have myself. it's late and almost midnight and I’ve been awake since yesterday, and this is a long story so I must finish it in the morning when I’m fresh of thought and thinking, but now I only crave for sleep so for now at least I’ve started and when tomorrow becomes today I’ll write the base-line and get with the program because I know I will remember something important that I’ve now forgotten. Well; a new day, another day here in deep space and life does go on. No matter what your situation or condition it happens. I’m more comfortable now. Even without my body armor I’m still me; but remember the power comes from within. What concerns me the most is the anxiety of the spirit and soul? The world must take half the responsibility, and I take the remainder on my own. This physical body can only do so much it gets weary and tired, but my mind continues to think and respond. Control of our destiny is more than immediate. The greater reality exists that within the mind spirit continues. We do not just die and fade away. The greater community of consciousness is our immortal destiny. Even with certain wisdom and our variable knowledge higher powers draw our attention. think of it- living spirits in the Midst of God's Great Mansion; castles in the sky with many worlds within worlds. Our upward mobility surpasses our mortal life in the beginning we rise to the heights and learn to rise even higher. There is no fighting except to over power the tyrants that want what they cannot have. We give ourselves to the Light and shine. We are more than human-we are beings with substance and essence. We become legend and people will talk but that's ok; our legacy gives them something to think about- they distract themselves from their own concerns taking up other peoples business. We must think or ourselves. We re not only responsible for our actions but for our thoughts as well. More and more over we discover our power is greater than we once thought. My body armor only protects me from other beings devices; but it is my mind power that overwhelms their schemes. The human element gives us the advantage of surprise. Forget about morals and ethics, they are like organized religion- we must carry ourselves to our own .standards. Our being is always in a state of becoming. With our memory our life is expanded and with our dreams our life is furthered. If not for memory we would be nothing; acquiring wisdom and knowledge and loosing what we've gained just as quickly. Inside the envelope of the progression of time we attempt to break out and push the envelope beyond its own limits. Nothing can hold us back except ourselves. With this power we are motivated with ambition to excel and really become all we can be. We live in phases of development and regression. One step forward and a half step back shuffling and re-organizing our patterns of thought. This is the life of a warrior fighter pilot; always on the edge making decisions and changing our mind with new plans. Surprise-that’s life. We come to two conclusions: we can reform society or we can reform ourselves. Both have an interaction, but reformation comes from the self-will and by the power of the author of the great mind of the universe to in such a way carry out the primordial plans for the success of the universe. This work has been industrious and pleasurable we must continue exploring the Midst of the universe and the midst of our own intelligent mind

Where sparks fly
------------------------------
What concerns me the most is the matter of spirit and soul? Though contained in the mind they supersede the mind in energy and power. Though the world can ache at least half the responsibility we live in the spirit of autonomy and live by our will and conscious conscience. Though our plans may not be inline with the Creator's we act and react to stimulus and respond in the spirit of autonomy guided by our own will and conscious conscience. We have the need to listen to the inner mind. We have to take control of our own destiny and consider random chance and opportunity. We live not by the roll of dice or by the draw of a card from a new deck. We play by the rules we make up as we live along time's own path. Let's not make light of the game of life. The Light forces of energy penetrate all continuums. Yea' of course you got to pay to play, Anny up, but the consequences of making life a game may be consequential to the life we live in the day after tomorrow when our living body fails. . Our intelligent spirit and conscious soul have their own life continuum in the higher planes of the great mobius. They live in the Interzone about half way thru the EnFold Way. Now the first mystery has been fully revealed the Alpha Principle is effectual. All Omega Knights have gone into the envelope of the Alpha and crossed beyond Omega into Alpha Omega Knighthood. Good luck people. Carry your banner high. Prepare yourselves for the most fantastic flights a pilot could ever imagine

Radical realism
------------------------------
Life is one reality mind is another earth is one reality space is another low earth orbit is one reality deep space is another atmosphere is one reality the seas and oceans are another there is a hole in the bottom of the ocean there is a hole in deep space both lead to the same reality. What has more reality than the world? Could it be something in your mind? Perhaps so, the mind is a very real place. I’m living the life I know so well and still my imagination carries me away. The way it is, is so very real; the way it was is no longer and the way it could be just might take some doing. The way it is; is truth and no other. God is not a mirage: all is one though we may know different, but the mysterious is available for thinking. Everything that is and was everything that has yet to be born or has died is all one. Sutra: nothing is everything. It was written a long time ago it is already done; now we just live through it so your will be done. There is nothing to escape to except eternal bliss; but first you must believe. The spirit without moving is swifter than the mind; the senses cannot reach it; it is ever beyond the reaching mind without words to describe it. Even a stopped clock shows the right time twice a day. Now initiated into your own loneliness you consider your options and weigh the consequences of your own thoughts. Now free to look outside yourself at the distractions of the world and beyond you see a greater reality does exist. Life is all but routine now once more changed over with another idea that challenges your intelligence

Long ago but not forgotten
------------------------------
Time for me is meaningless now I travel in deep space and the other side has been opened thru a vortex portal in the east of the Milky Way galaxy. From the command center in my fighter craft I see before me great nebula and marvelous things of the first mystery. Heaven has been open to me by my studies at the university library of the planet Ancestadora. I travel vertical off the planet at mach-light speed and find the first mystery open where the beautiful Light emanates from the gates of the lower realms. Once I took the gate to the left and found a deeper space full with void and emptiness, but there in the midst I found light beings in the shape of the sphere. Glowing with brilliance. A voice called out to me; listen and hear. So I thought in my mind and for a moment thought I was in sleep but was very much awake. Two angels came to me in their spiritual form because I was within my mind and not without. One Beatrice and one Sophia. The two came close to me and my mind believed what it saw and they revealed to me some of the mysteries of the heavens. It was a beautiful moment in time but without time. Forever in a moment that lasted just as long as my thoughts could relate. Opportunity curiously shows itself from two sides: tempting fate may not be such a good idea, but challenging fate can change your destiny. There are certain things you need to learn before time envelopes you in the mystery. Demonstrating skill in your abilities of self-control is one. Imagining that which can be is another. The possibility is only as great as your intelligent creativity will allow. Virtue above vice may be only a concept of opinion. While acquiring knowledge of the mystery is a greater knowledge than being in the physical world. Understanding and interpreting is two independent notions or ideas. If we are off just a decimal point our drift will take us in another direction than once intended. The things we cannot conceive are greater than those we can perceive. The unknown holds notions way above science only metaphysics and philosophy can redeem value for. Our creative intelligence has to compensate for our inadequate creativity though some beings think more than others the greater view of reality is proportional to our imagination. When light penetrates darkness the darkness is no more. When the commander entered the vortex portal he saw the light from the other side, but on his return the vortex portal had only darkness that could not penetrate thru the light so the only visible entry way was just a magnetic flux, a generation of visible frequencies of the first mystery. The door gate way was open. It was a matter of faith and trust and belief so he entered the unknown a came out on the first side, the side of reality we all know. Now within his own mind he knew a greater reality did exist and his entrance and exit was like an open door. We viewed this reality from both sides. From the outside looking in he saw light. From the inside looking out he saw darkness. This was the thought to remember. We live in darkness hoping to see the light and the light does penetrate the darkness. But the darkness cannot penetrate thru the light so the lesson here to learn is to keep our mind open to the light so we can live in the light while our being is remaining in darkness. Wisdom is knowing the difference. Knowledge of the higher realms increases our wisdom thru our intelligent imagination. Imagine that. I reside in a world of thought greater than all reality because of my consciousness of something greater than myself, but in my understanding I can imagine that.......

Airport notes
------------------------------
Some believe that human vices all sprang from only two sources: idleness and superstition. And that there are but two virtues: energy and intelligence. With regularity and exactitude we ought to carry out our duties and responsibilities. There seems here a need for clarification of the meanings given to words considering their broader concepts. What is isn't always what ought to be. What is cannot be deniable. While what ought to be remains just a matter of opinion. So I prepared myself for the business of the day. And snapped to my critical judgments. With high concern. What will be and my reaction would be two separate notions. We learn to deal with what is. And still dream of what could be. No time was more important than the present moment and then the dawn took over the dark sky and a new day was born. Every thing isn't done as one expects. The most unusual may happen. Contingency must be strategically planned. Don’t we all just love it when a plan comes together? Especially for the one who makes the plan. It is most convenient to make rule changes along the way. Especially if you are the one making the rules. Changing s a river flows within its banks mixing the new with the old. We need not be afraid of the unknown. But curious of its mysteries. The unknown is greater than the known. Even some of the mysteries of the known cannot be solved then how much more perplexing the unknown becomes while thinking of concepts and possibilities

Empathy for the brave
------------------------------
Dreams busy themselves with our thoughts. On the same day an infant rolls over for the first time an old one shuts their eyes and opens them to the Empyrean Heaven. The life of an alpha omega knight is filled with bravery and sacrifice. We find our place in the permanent and eternal. Self willed to carry out peace missions; but sometimes to go on the offensive and conquer tyranny from the demons of the night. We soar the heavens in our spacecraft reaching new heights and boundaries expanding our universe. We carry a gun and sword but use our intellect deciding when it is appropriate. We use voice communications to express our thoughts. It is an ancient belief life goes on after our mortal death; but there is more if only you stretch your creativity beyond your natural limits with integrity and logical reason. Some of us are indigenous to this Earthly world; some of us are from far beyond the imaginable and still we are all the same- fighters for our simple existence. We live with debt and doubt yet overcome these with invested payments from work and the job- and from our simple ambition to break away into certainty and principle. The axiom comes from plain geometry- structure and form. Life’s circle becomes square; triangle becomes cube- the infinite becomes finite and space has no threshold but Heaven itself. We infer and surmise reason from circumstance and our actual condition is more complex than simple. We try to make sense where there is none but come close to a reasonable explanation. We seek for constant improvement- continual change for the better and never a stagnant moment wasted without sincere thought. Moved by the spirit we witness glory in our life and find nobility in impoverished places. The high among the low- we are alpha omega knight- brother hood voweled to protect and serve the Federation. With a curious eye and hand we can touch what surrounds us- with curious mind we realize the miracle and wonder-life itself-how can it be? /but it is and we need it better as magnificent creation works itself out in the present continual future. this thread when twined with more weaves a tapestry between the seen and unseen- between the known and unknown; weaving imagination into reality. No one knows for sure- we take a chance with life but not gamble-we chance for certainty and truth. Motivation runs deep within our heart flowing and pumping the life force within us and our mind races with the impossible making it more probable than ever before. You can run but you cannot hide. Your conscience is part of the collective. you are not alone- you live with your shadow in the light of day and seek illumination to the mysteries life holds -it is your quest- you are the beginning and the end- yourself a spark to ignite the fire of wisdom your brain holds as treasure in the mind
