DRAFT ONE

It is a Triumph of Life that we are each created to be Storytellers.

We each create Profound Stories.

Then we Live in them.

In my old days at Harpos Health House by the Sea (1974-1976),
there is a page in one of my journals that has art
made by a customer. The words below say something
like Life is a Story to be Told and/or We are just a Bunch
of writers having Fun.

It is good for each of us to look closely at our own lives
this morning, and define our Stories.

IT is good to see the role in our playing in our stories
and the outcomes that are anticipated.

Some of us live our lives as Masters of our Story.

As Morea Garcia Freedom was telling me yesterday
on our way back from Dr. Jensen's Old Ranch.
her life was all she could control.

She was making Reference to the State of the World
here at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community.

She could not imagine subjecting herself to what I had done
living here all these years. She said she did not like to monitor
other people. Neither do I. I have enough difficulty taking care of myself.
Monitoring or paying attention to others in part goes with the Territory
of being a House Manager here, and part Co-Owner.

Gratefully, we are in a time when some of us on the Earth
are taking more and more responsibility for our Stories.
We are indeed becoming Co-Managers.

This is the idea behind KEEPING A GARDEN MANAGEMENT JOURNAL,
one of the Enchanted Garden writing Projects in development
for numbers of years.

The GARDEN is a metaphor for Consciousness.

The MANAGEMENT is each of us. We are the manager of our own
Garden.

To JOURNAL is to take time to meticulously honor the Organic steps
of Soul Group. To record this way our Life is a Privelege.
Most of us just do not have the time. We are in a Victim Relationship
to 9-5. We hate what we do. As hard as we try, 9-5 does not work
for us. More and more it is coming to the surface now as the
Cracks in Our National and International Economic System
reveals itself. We are each intended to live out our deepest SEED DREAMS.
Nothing less than living our Soul Purpose will do.

In the Enchanted Garden, a name for the New Earth
that can be redeemed through each of us,
we have Arrived at this Evolutionary
and Earth Shaking Point:

RETURN OF THE BEET!

I bank on Plants and Seed
to Seed my Dreams.

I grow some of my own food
and medicines.

2. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

We say in the Essene Work,
Life is a By Product of Our Inner Activity with Each Other.

What does this mean?
It means that is is the quality of our Relationships
that inspires growth.

War, as an example, is an commonly practiced outward
activity that we buy into as human beings.
War is a result of children in adult bodies who never grew up.
It is the result of childish behavior, including greed and selfishness.
War seldom takes into account the other person or their life.
War seldom sees that what we do unto others we are doing unto ourselves.
This is so, because whatever goes around comes around.
What we do comes back to bite us in the butt, or crash into
our Twin Towers. We simply cannot mistreat others.
They will eventually decide they do not like us. They will
find a way to come and get us. Then, we can continue to play the game,
and go after them. Ultimately we become Terrorists for each other.

Peace, on the other hand, comes out of a conscious relationship
with Life. We ultimately learn how to String our own lives together,
as Job's Tears being beaded on a Necklace of Dreams.

We can become All of One Piece/Peace,
rather than Patch Work. These ideas are from
an old Hassidic Story told by Martin Buber in a little
book called THE WAY OF MAN. It was edited by Maurice Freedman,
one of my college professors at the University of Humanistic Studies
years ago.

SOUL GROWTH, I accept as the purpose of Life.

The Soul, from an Essene Point of View, is already in Perfection.
The Soul is our Individuality within God.

If the Soul is in Perfection, how does it Grow?

It grows through Movement.
The Soul has the Opportunity to go into New Territory.
It can take up residence in new places,
even in Dark Basements.

The Soul is brought present through
how we address our inner activity with each other.

Here is an example.

We are in the Middle of a massive cleanup of our Basement
here at home.

Last night, I came home from an event at the former Dr. Jensen's ranch,
very tired. I was ready for bed.

Amazingly, when I sat down in the dining room with Angelene,
AKA Eve, Morea, and Chef Jem, the Originator of Kefir Grass,
I was filled with Vital Forces. We had a delightful time.

Angelene has not been feeling well the last few days.
She has been barfing through every orifice.

She is spending the time off work going through her Papers.
She is a meticulous women. She ends up shreading.
Much of this will become worm food.

Morea suggested a great Burning was in Order.

Eve said, I am determined to rid myself of 30% of my papers.
There is no wisdom in pointing fingers here at others,
when my own Glass House is filled with too much Stuff.

That, in my way of seeing, is an enlightened and compassionate
point of view.

The topic came around to A#1, who has more things on the property
than any of us. A#1 is a source of great dilemma for many of us.
She really brings up some very deep issues.

Morea expressed her point of view on the ride home through
looking at the way she handles her stuff.

Recently, her sister asked her to remove a bunch of stuff from
being stored. Morea did not know what to do with the stuff, but she
would never think about keeping it at her sister's house when it was
asked to be moved. Her sister wanted to renovate the space.
Her sister wanted to do Clean UP, and it was no longer appropriate
for Morea's Stuff to be in that space.

In our case, Our backyard is now delineated into Areas where
all the Stuff from our Basement is now being stored.

I have area D and E. A#1 has area B and C filled to the gills.
Granted some of the things in area C are not all hers.

Recently the rains have started. A#1 started to move some things
into the Basement without asking.

This felt defeating to the Honorable Scottie of the Dome (HSD).

He and Chef Jem has spend well over eight weeks Clearing the Basement.
The Basement was not fully free of Black Mold or Little Micro Varmits
that bite me, and here A#1 was already bringing things back.

There had been no Conscous Communication, or Agreements made
fully about the future of the Basement. That has not yet been Determined,
although I for one, as well as the Chef and Scottie, have our points of view.

It is easy to make myself sick over the Basement
and my own Stuff that was in it.

My Stuff is now primarily under the Olive Tree
in area D + E. I also have some binders on the side of the
House near the Laundry Line...the Area at the Side of the House.

I have not had time to go through it.

During the Week, we had our first Co-managers meeting in many Weeks.

HSD dropped a bomshell. It felt like a punch in the stomach.
He mentioned overwhelm. He also mentioned Good Things happening to him.
He also mentioned that he was thinking of moving as of the New Year.

From my point of view, he dumbed a few energies on me.

He mentioned that I had left a BIG BOX of my Laundry
to in the Area near the Clothesline. It had been there through two rains.
I had done nothing about it. This was an sore point within HSD.

I determined to make this a Priority that day.
I got into the Box. I threw out most of what was in there.
That was easy. A good portion did not belong to me.
It was a collection of towels, not my own.

HSD also was upset about a Great Stand of Old Stuff that had
been placed in the Corner of Area E, the former Healing Area.

HSD has to pass this area on the way to the Dome each day.
It is very upsetting in the Story he lives to the point where
he would move elsewhere to get this out of his Energy Field.

This Sunday morning, I woke up in an incredible dream.
I was looking at some kind of logistical and intricate Outcome
I wanted to create. There was a Play I wanted to do,
but in order to do that Play, I had to go through all these Steps.
The Steps were near Mind Boggling. Finally I surrendered
to acknowleding Great Success with some of the Steps.

I would have to leave the Play part to another day,
and be Happy with what I had accomplished.


This brings me Home to The Basement Cleanup
and what the Next Organics Steps of Soul Growth are for me.
Here are the Steps. Here is the Story! Here is the Triumph!!!!

BACKGROUND:

Around 1979, I received information from my primary Essene Teacher
at the time, that we were then entering the phase of Human Evolution
that he called the Years of Purification.

These were called the Thirty Years of Purification.

30 years...that brings us to about 2009,
next around the Corner.

These Thirty years are named in the Book of Revelation.
They are a part of the story of Revelation,
the same story that speaks to Armageddon.

The TRIUMPH of the Ages.
