Crystal Blue Mind

Hi Folks. In order to better serve your need for high-quality information about all our favorite topics, I am integrating my websites and blogs into one new site: Crystal Blue Mind.
There you will find updates, links, and many of the posts contained here reposted in this blog. Crystal Blue Mind is dedicated towards our continual evolution, at home, and also within the galactic community. Topics posted will be broader than in the Opening Minds Nebula and will be linked to a bulletin board . All my new posts will take place at this new site. Let me know what you think.

Are Man-Made Noises Interfering with Wildlife Communications?

A recent article in Wired Magazine looks into how man-made noises are gradually infiltrating the wild spaces on the Earth. You can hear some of the Earth's most pristine soundscapes at Wildsanctuary.com. (There are is also a Google Earth download that lets you click and listen to natural locations straight from the Google map.) The main issue here is whether man-made machine noises are disturbing wildlife to the point where they can't hear each other. Many creatures use synchronized sounds to fool predators, and when they can't hear each other, they sing "off-beat" which makes it easier for predators to locate them. Man-made sounds thus alter the natural soundscape and ecosystem in unexpected ways. Take a look and a listen at the links above.

Jerry and the Hammerhead Shark

Planetary Intelligence can take a variety of forms. Jerry writes in from Maui that he was recently down on the beach when a Hammerhead shark was sighted, navigating its way to the beach. He went into the waves to take a look and suddenly found the shark coming directly towards him and then circling him three times. People yelled for him to get out of the water, but he had the feeling that there was something in the situation he should pay attention to. At one point, the shark grazed his leg and then turned partially over on the water surface a few feet away. Jerry noticed something "stuck in the shark's mouth." Realizing something was wrong, Jerry grabbed the shark out of the water and pulled it onto the beach. He then saw a red snapper head, stuck in the shark's mouth with skeleton going down his gullet. Instinctively, Jerry grabbed the shark and shook him hard by the tail, three times. The snapper head popped out of the shark. People yelled that the shark should be eaten but Jerry said no. "The shark came to us for help, we have to put him back." So Jerry pulled the shark back into the water, and guided it out towards the waves. It swam away.
Jerry told me that as the whole event was playing out, he realized he was having a planetary intelligence experience, and it gave him the faith to help the shark, rather than to feel afraid.

Sun Rings Like a Bell—And You Do Too

Feel like dancing with the sun? An article in the May 4^th, 2007 issue of Science magazine suggests new evidence that the sun rings and vibrates in such a way that it affects winds on the Earth, cell phones, and other features of our lives. These oscillations are carried to Earth on the solar wind that transverses the solar system. This idea, that large-scale, galactic phenomena can noticeably effect us here on Earth is the basis of Planetary Intelligence: that our lives and actions are intrinsically interwoven with the fabric of the universe and nothing about our everyday existence is independent of this interconnectedness. The complex, global and interstellar phenomena that surround us are part of the identity and sense of who we are: Even something as seemingly inconsequential as a breeze can be part and parcel of a larger set of universal relationships.

The Cosmic Axis of Evil: What it Means for You

No, I am not talking about nasty reptilian aliens from the Gama Quadrant. The cosmic “axis of evil” is a name astrophysicists are giving to a newly discovered feature of our universe: a spiral pattern imprinted on radiation left over from the big bang. It has long been thought that matter is uniformly distributed throughout space, with no particular preference in any direction. Now there is new evidence (New Scientist, April 13, 2007) suggesting that the entire structure of the universe has the orientation of a corkscrew pattern: over 300 quasars fit into this overall whole twisting structure. Data from 1660 spiral galaxies also show the same overall orientation. If such a thing is true it would suggest that directionality, or anisotropy, rather than isotropy is the basis for galactic organization at the largest scale. Thus, the whole universe may in fact be based on spiral geometry, rather than being evenly spread out and uniform in all directions. So when you see or imagine spirals in your life, know that you are connecting to the most basic, fundamental structure of the whole universe.

Connect to Etheric Energy by Activating Your Creativity

Creativity stimulates our bodies and minds to connect with the endless energy that makes up the universe. It gets us out of our heads and into a zone of immediacy and interactivity. When you engage your creativity you are in the present and living in the moment. In the present, we get out of our “monkey minds” and can connect with mind of the universe. How does this happen? Well, when we operate out of our linear mind, we are following a social program: a type of hypnotic conditioning full of judgments, expectations, pre-calculated outcomes, and schedules. In this mindset, we become disconnected from the immediacy of being alive. We become mentally and sensually dulled: almost like a time-delay has been introduced into our experience of reality. In this mode we are susceptible to a variety of artificially-induced mentalities such as self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, grandiosity, lack of energy, and confusion.

By engaging our innate creativity, we can temporarily burst forth from the cage of reason and experience an immediate sensory and emotional presence that will allow us to feel more complete and alive. And at the same time, we engage the creativity of the universe, which operates instantaneously. In Carlos Castaneda's books, Don Juan referred to this as creating a link to our “second attention” or ability to perceive energy directly. When you do this, you can feel a sense of energy in your solar plexus, a feeling of focus and “intent.” As this point we become connected to the flow of universal, original energy with its own logic and direction. You feel like you are in the flow of something much bigger than you are. It's a feeling I know you'll enjoy, so spend some time getting “out of your head” and be creative today.
