Leaving Storyland

I dream of the day when we all stop spinning tales and wake up.

I had the honor, the other day, of being approached with an offer to be a TV show host. I was flattered, and my immediate reaction was one of excitement.

Then I started thinking about how much work would be involved. Oh, not the production work. Creating show opens and closes, finding the footage, the music, the right fonts is always a blast. And the theme and show title came to me right away: Leaving Storyland.

It was the seeming impossibility of creating content that stopped me cold.

You see, Leaving Storyland was going to be about leaving the Matrix behind and talking to people who are outside the box ... people who have left Storyland for good. And by that, I mean people who have not just left mainstream thinking behind, but those who have left all the alternative stories behind as well. Which seemed at first to be a great idea.

But then it occurred to me, who was I going to interview? To talk about what?

Babe in the woods

I've only just barely crawled out of Storyland myself.

I am a mere babe, naked, lying on the soft grass in the sun, blinking, dazzled by the potential of a whole new world around me — a world I know nothing about.

A world that hasn't been defined by Wikipedia and history books predetermined by globalists with agendas and massive erasers in one hand and AI generated news in the other.

A world that hasn't been explained by the Mystery Schools and the Gnostics, the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita.

A world that wasn't first populated by the Anunnaki from the 12th planet, and then the Andromedans who were then followed by the Sirians and then the Plieadians. Or maybe it was the other way around? I never can get the alien lineup straight.

A world that is neither spherical nor flat.

A world that never sported giants and chimerical creatures fresh from the genetics lab of Ninhursag. Where life didn’t spontaneously erupt out of the primordial ooze or owe its existence to some fearsome GOD who dragged it formless and empty out of a darkness rippling over the face of the deep ...

Where nobody has ever heard the explanation that Earth is a school ... or Hell itself. Or maybe a prison planet.

I got sucked into so many of those stories! Was hypnotized by them. Was certain they were true. Never once did I realize that they all missed the point. That not one of the stories actually ever revealed Who We Really Are—Who I Really Am.

Yes, they fascinated. They entertained and led me down speculative rabbit holes I could lose whole lifetimes in. But none of them—not one—set me free.

Tapped out

I'm tired of all the suppositions and supposed answers.

I'm tired of people (including myself!) definitively declaring "The mind is X" and "Consciousness is Y" and "The body is Z" and “Einstein said …” wrapping it all up with a red bow, labeling it "The 10 Rules of Quantum Manifestation" and selling a workshop.

I'm bored with click-funnels, marketing and slick ads and promos. And promises! I'm tired of promises. And TV shows. And podcasts.

I'm tired of myself.

I look at all the books on my shelves. I think about all the thousands of books I've read, telling me how things are. Of all the books I've written, telling other people how things are. All the news stories I've watched. All the politicians and "experts" I've listened to telling me what I need to do. All the social media I've subscribed to. All the memes I've posted.

And I look at the world around me and think THIS is what all that information has brought me to? This is the world all that has created?

Not encouraging.

But then ... then I realize that somehow all that has brought me to questioning all that, bringing me to the moment where I'm now, ranting about all of this.

Which, I feel ... maybe ... is a good thing?

Staying in the question

I've written recently about the value of Staying in the Question. Of approaching the world more innocently.

What's the old saw about the British General in India who heard about the enlightened sage living up in the hills outside the village?

When he visited the man to ask him about his purported knowledge, the sage (dressed only in a loin cloth, of course) poured tea for the general ... and kept pouring and pouring until tea spilled over the rim of cup and saucer and onto the floor. And still he kept pouring.

"Good God man! You're spilling it all over!" the general roared.

The sage paused and looked at him. "You say you come to me seeking answers. But you are like this cup. Filled to overflowing. Before you can know anything, first you must empty your cup."

I think, at last, my cup is getting pretty doggone near empty.

I do, I admit, still cling to Einstein’s famous equation and the equivalency of mass and energy. And Austrian physicist Erwin Schroedinger’s proposal to eliminate point particles altogether by using a quantum wave structure.

I still hang my hat on this quote:¹

What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen (appearances). That is, quantum waves structures are real and material particles are not. 

Show's over

"All the world’s a stage, 
And all the men and women merely players.

They have their exits and their entrances, 
And one man in his time plays many parts, 
His acts being seven ages."

Shakespeare knew it. We've merely been players in Storyland, acting out the insanely limiting role of physical human beings, forgetting Who We Really Are—spirit beings of pure love—making the story up as we go along, concretizing everything by filling in the potholes with more and more stories to explain the story we're in because we don't know what else to do.

It's like somebody handed us a script and we just went along with it. And now the play's been running for so long we've forgotten it's all just theatre.

What about just walking off stage????

What do I do then? What are my lines? What's important? What's real? And if it's all just been a story, then ... wow!

There's nothing to change. There's nothing to correct. Nothing to fix. Nothing to explain anymore. Nothing to make amends for.

The only task at hand is to now live what is right and real outside the story. And I think that means instead of asking other people what they think, instead of interviewing people looking for answers, instead of creating a show, what I should do is hunker down with the questions on my own for a while.

What is love outside the story of love? How does it live? How do I want to be with my friends? Strangers? Clients? My cats? My house plants?

How do I live in alignment with life? How do I support life? How do I flourish? How do I help others flourish? How do I help the Earth flourish? How do I do all this without dragging along any old stories? Or making any more up?

Could I make a show out of that? A show that isn’t a show?

I guess I’m still in the question …

Much love and aloha ~

Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom

For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible Intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The Archons, AshShaytān, wetiko, windingo, e'epa, antimimos, Satan ... the names are legion.

Cracking the Matrix explores the astounding history and nature of what humanity has erroneously labeled "evil" on this planet, helping people finally see the very real, negative, interdimensional influence that exists behind historic and current global events and our social decline.

The book outlines how to break free of this Force's ancient controlling agenda and how people can stand up in the power of their true spiritual nature, ready to create the New Heaven and the New Earth that have so long been prophesied.
