Living without money?

 Radical concepts break established patterns. To even begin to conceptualize such a radical concept as living without the normal means of monetary investment...viewing money and possessions as transient means of exchange, and defying the cultural imperative that one must toil, horde, and covet opens the collective neural pathways to innovative new ways to imagine life outside our artificial value systems. At a time in history when the concepts of money, materialism, and western-style consumerism are being upturned, it worth pondering:

I had everything I needed, I had a house and I had raised two children. I gave it all away.”

The documentary Living Without Money portraits the life of 68 year old Heidemarie Schwermer, a German woman who made a deliberate choice to stop using money 14 years ago. She cancelled her apartment, gave away all of her belongings and kept nothing but a suitcase full of clothes. This was a decision that changed the entire outlook on her life dramatically.

Today, after 14 years, she is still living almost without money and claims she is feeling more free and independent than ever.  The film follows Heidemarie in her day to day life and shows the challenges she meets by living an alternative lifestyle.

Can Going Without Money Hurt the Economy? One Man's Quest to Be Penniless

Good Morning America | Yahoo! News
Daniel Suelo is 51 years old and broke. Happily broke. Consciously, deliberately, blessedly broke.
Not only does he not have debt, a mortgage or rent, he does not earn a salary. Nor does he buy food or clothes, or own any product with a lower case "i" before it. Home is a cave on public land outside Moab, Utah. He scavenges for food from the garbage or off the land (fried grasshoppers, anyone?). He has been known to carve up and boil fresh road kill. He bathes, without soap, in the creek.

Not everyone's lifestyle...but with failing currencies, massive foreclosures, and credit debt, to imagine the alternatives is an exercise in future survival, even abundance.

Side visioning

Slowing down the perceptual time stream opens up new dimensions between the vectors of space-time. Slow the breath to slow the mind...see the flickers at the edges of perception of the mirror world.

"The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." - Jesus (Matthew 6:22)

Look deeper, but look with the "eyes" that can see. Your frontal (or central) vision, the straight-on gaze, is the vision you were entrained to use...the flat space of 3-D. Shift your vision to your periphery...breathe,,,watch faint glimmers appear. Breathe...avoid the straight-on vistas of your lying eyes., shift to your side view, called "peripheral vision".

The pineal gland

Entire dimensions exist, side-by-side, with the conditioned reality. The navigator reckons from the intuitive, the vision of the single eye, which is an opto-magnetic resonance field that is an extended range of sight. Pilots, jugglers, trained hunters, professional soldiers, and card players all use this visual range as it is acute in low light and for memory mapping spatially.

Side visioning detects the subtle shadows, glimmers of light, and space field dis-tortions (torsion fields) that the frontal vision has been trained to ignore. The "third eye" is not really in the forehead: it is located in the pineal gland at the center of the brain between hemispheres. Side vision uses the sensory fields of the pineal to "map" to the visual periphery, works in conjunction with rods and cones in the eye's macula, and extends "vision" by gathering data magnetically via the crytalline structures of the pineal. 

Also called "Magnetic Sight", the pineal gland works in concert with the eyes to form an internal "third eye" system due to the pineal containing eye-like retina tissue that is suspended in a colloidal fluid. The pineal also contains piezoelectric calcite cells and concentrations of magnetite, which form an inner navigation system connecting visual space with geomagnetic spatial recognition. In other words, you have the technology to "see" beyond the abilities of your so-called "normal" optical system!

With practice, and using simple breath techniques, you can begin to operate at whole new levels of "seeing". Side visioning also increases awareness, both on the basic range of immediate surrounding, and on the vibratory level where extra-sensory phenomena appears. It is both mystical and practical, and really a practice that re-awakens the intuitive senses in which humans were originally designed to operate.

I am nothing but the empty net which has gone on ahead
of human eyes, dead in those darknesses,
of fingers accustomed to the triangle, longitudes
on the timid globe of an orange.
I walked around as you do, investigating
the endless star,
and in my net, during the night, I woke up naked,
the only thing caught, a fish trapped inside the wind.

-Enigmas, Pablo Neruda

the un·real·ity of time

Removing the concept of "time" from  our ontological processes is a radical step towards large scale consciousness. For the more one studies the very assertion that time is "real", the more difficult it becomes to actually substantiate what constitutes an absolute value.  The best minds of the pioneering field of quantum physics were daunted by this oblique concept---a concept which we humans insist is "real".

John Wheeler (1911-2008), the physicist who coined the terms, "black hole" and "wormhole", framed it in entirely subjective terms: "Time Is What Prevents Everything From Happening At Once...Space is what prevents everything from happening to me!"

Metaphysician and philosopher, John Ellis Taggart (1866-1929), wrote in "The Unreality of Time" (1908), that our perception of time is an illusion. The article, published in the 1908 Mind: A Quarterly Review of Psychology and Philosophy , opens with this statement:
"It doubtless seems highly paradoxical to assert that Time is unreal, and that all statements which involve its reality are erroneous. Such an assertion involves a far greater departure from the natural position of mankind than is involved in the assertion of the unreality of Space or of the unreality of Matter. So decisive a breach with that natural position is not to be lightly accepted. And yet in all ages the belief in the unreality of time has proved singularly attractive."

““I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.””

— Sir Isaac Newton

The work of Julian Barbour has significantly advanced these late 19th, early 20th century concepts by modeling time and relativity around Ernst Mach's arguments of relative motion and the dynamic effects of the universe. Barbour echoes, and expands Mach's statement:
"It is utterly beyond our power to measure the changes of things by time. Quite the contrary, time is an abstraction at which we arrive through the changes of things.”

Barbour adds: "...time as such does not exist but only change. The quantum universe is likely to be static. Motion and the apparent passage of time may be nothing but very well founded illusions."

 The Sanskrit word, māyā ("illusion) , as found in the Vendanta, says, that the universe cannot be reduced to a concept or word for the ordinary mind to manipulate. Rather, the human experience and mind are themselves a tiny fragment of this truth. Herein we are confronted with the fractal aspects of the human consciousness...the truth is inside you.

beyond time?

Consciousness is not a single state, but a reflective "snap shot" of a now-ness observed and realized. The clockwork effect is a focus point of perception, not an absolute as most quantum physicists readily agree, Past, present, and future---so-called---all exist at once, as fractals of the process of unfolding creation. It is, from the perspective of consciousness, that phenomena such as time dilation is affected by gravity and velocity: Time speeds up and slows down under variable conditions:

"Gravitational time dilation is at play for ISS (International Space Station) astronauts too, and it has the opposite effect of the relative velocity time dilation. To simplify, velocity and gravity each slow down time as they increase. Velocity has increased for the astronauts, slowing down their time, whereas gravity has decreased, speeding up time (the astronauts are experiencing less gravity than on Earth). Nevertheless, the ISS astronaut crew ultimately end up with "slower" time because the two opposing effects are not equally strong. The velocity time dilation (explained above) is making a bigger difference, and slowing down time. The (time-speeding up) effects of low-gravity would not cancel out these (time-slowing down) effects of velocity unless the ISS orbited much farther from Earth." - Wikipedia article, Time dilation

The question becomes: what IS gravity? What is velocity? Beyond all the mathematics and physics equations, we do not comprehend the source of gravity. No, not the definition of these forces---The Source. If consciousness is a fractal of the wholeness of creation, does it not also fully contain gravity within its totality? What if---humans, who are greater than their mere physicality---are, in fact the source of the forces which bend, distort, and control perceptual time? 

Science claims that black holes contain what is called an event horizon, a boundary beyond which event cannot affect the observer. The observer (consciousness itself), meets a perceptual barrier which is physically imposed, largely because the observational phenomena is defined by a cognitive model related to the immensity of the black hole.

Following simple logic based on the fractal model of consciousness itself, can we presume that when this phenomena is brought into human scale it becomes more manageable? Is the "black hole" simply a larger aspect of the vortex/wormholes that are often localized and reported under other phenomena?

'OBJECT' FOUND BURIED UNDER ANTARCTIC ICE CAP, COULD BE OF ALIEN ORIGIN AND CAUSE OF TIME VORTEX, FEDS DENY EVERYTHING 

During April 2001 one of the world's great secrets was revealed:  an ancient structure or apparatus that lay encased miles under the hard Antarctic ice was detected by a roving spy satellite. The US military immediately moved to quash the reports and the mainstream news media dutifully complied.

Artificial structure found under two miles of ice

A research team of US and UK scientists accidentally came across a mind-numbing discovery. While working on a joint weather research project, the team witnessed the creation of a spinning vortex of time.

From the nano-landscapes of the interior consciousness, to the large-scale black holes of space, we are now seeing the evidence mount that dimensionality and time are functions of perception. We are finding it now, because of the "leap" in human consciousness that allows us to see what always existed! This is not an "alien" technology, nor is it "anomalous". It is the future us revealing things that our limited perceptions could not name, and hence, could not see.

"The brain has fractal-like structure, known as small-world networks, with a very few large, and very many small, hubs (like airports, and the internet). Pribram, Bieberich and others have said for many years that memory and content of consciousness may be fractal, or holographic, and many have described altered states of consciousness as fractal, or scale-free." -Stuart Hammeroff,  Turning consciousness upside down: Magic mushrooms and the fractal brain hierarchy

“Each observer, as his time passes, discovers, so to speak, new slices of space-time which appear to him as successive aspects of the material world, though in reality the ensemble of events constituting space-time exist prior to his knowledge of them . . . the aggregate of past, present and future phenomena are in some sense given a priori. ”

— Louis de Broglie (1959)

The motion picture Love explains what needs to be understood about the human condition: we are designed to be part of our planet. We are attached to the planet in multiple dimensions which traverse the space/time matrix. Our "books" of memories (data banks) are imprints of all the aspects of our being, all the relationships we forge; all the history we write: past/present/future; that ultimately, LOVE is a force that binds us cohesively to all these aspects which are mirrors of our own consciousness.

“You only have to remember that what you have done in your life may change what someone else is doing in their life and so therefore, your life continues in their eyes. ”

— The Story Teller

In the film, Lee Miller, the astronaut who is abandoned/isolated on the International Space Station (IS(i)S) in 2039, confronts the ultimate enigma of SELF...that the past collides with the present; the future wrote the NOW, and that love triumphs over isolation, even physical death.
