Dear Contemplative Friends:

As I might imagine it, my name may as well be “Rev. Change”, or as in ancient tribal settings, I may well have been called “Awake-Filled-with-Dreams”. But, since in my dreams my dreams come true, the importance of my name doesn’t compare to the truth I dare to imagine.

I dream that the truth is that on October 2, 2022, people everywhere are widely connecting with people everywhere else, “Celebrating Dreams Distilled to Finally Awaken the World”. And, where I imaginatively live, I am walking in my yard to a rocky ledge that I think of as a natural pulpit. My pleasure is exhilarating, as in a happy harvest of colors, I am moving with autumn leaves, breezing before and behind me. Awake, filled with dreams I imagine a baby yawning, then giggling a warm breath into its young mother’s laughing face. Then, as the baby’s young father bends to kiss his child, its little foot playfully kicks daddy’s chin. After framing the little foot, face, giggle, kiss, kick, and surprise in tender emotions, I turn to the mountains to pray.

Now, against a clearing blue sky, rain yields to three layers of misty rainbows. And, under rainbows glorious enough to tempt leprechauns to no longer hide their golden treasures, I imagine I live in a small home, encircled by tall pines. Inside my home, windows provide wide views of mountains, and looking at the calendar on my watch, I am reminded that today is October 2, 2022.

10/2/22, oh what a wonderful day! Imagine time and places filled with the magic of neighbors gathering to carefully contemplate education, critical for the continued success of humanity. Imagine every individual being aware of many reasonable people, wide-awake to practice wisdom, filled with principles central to Earth and human renewal.

On October 2, 2022, I am awake and filled with dreams about bright lights expanding in human development. Facing every manner of challenge, humanity has achieved an aggregate momentum of creative forces, strong enough for individuals to collectively turn the tide on the arc of global destruction. Safely and continuously transforming life, it is common now to live fully awake, just as we would be pleased to imagine.

Under a morning sky layered with three rainbows, I imagine dawning from sleep to the sound of my father’s voice saying, “Beware and take care that wherever conscious intentions for unity exist, balefully unconscious tendencies also exist for conflict to resist conflict-resolution.” His voice went on saying, “As individuals around the globe, regularly, and mindfully contemplate to coordinate worldwide stability, expect heaven’s capacity to reform hell to move at an accelerating pace.”

On 10/2/22, the heart and art of wisdom is assured by integral self-transformation. Thereby, humanity insures being safe from inhumanity, and the worth of wealth selflessly insures sustainable culture.
Contemplating (W)hole® sage perspectives instigated Mystical Humanism, and critical alterations were integrated into the debris of widespread confusion. Thereby, destiny gradually, steadily, and finally evinced a miracle.

Awake and filled with dreams equipped to further awaken consciousness, it came to pass that the story of our energies swirled from destructive to creative change. And, as chaos mounts from times and stages where immaturity naturally and predictably occurs, in response, mature principles now ascend so strong that every negative evokes its own transformation.

Imagine the offensive and defensive behaviors that gather around untimely habits and persuasions. Then imagine ever-greater numbers of us shamelessly trading false pride, for making genuinely virtuous differences. And, in contrast to hallowed traditions of spiritual impoverishment, imagine that contemplating “The Way to See (W)hole®” now augments authentic and timely spirituality.

Humanity is transcending ignorance with conscious knowledge for managing unconscious tendencies. And, civilization by means of responsible thoughts and behaviors has replaced civilization as a questionable achievement. Average adults now regularly contemplate preventing or quickly returning from common misadventures. And, intentional self-leadership by means of principles for global conflict-resolution now spontaneously governs the world.

Looking back on bleak perennial tendencies that thwart the birth of change, I remember desperate fears and trembling increasing to engulf the world. On 2/20/08, a full eclipse of the moon slipped the night deeper into darkness. And on that same night, great darkness yielded to a new phase of light. On 2/20/08, for every kind of strength to deliver us from every form of doubt, awake and filled with dreams, I began to write how on 10/2/22 I imagined myself writing, editing, and recording fortnight chronicles. In “Contemplative Steps for Heaven on Earth; Celebrating Dreams Distilled to Finally Awaken the World”, life is a dream to transform reality. And, because “understanding the nature of change, changes the nature of understanding”, as dreams are contemplated for better days to follow our darkest nights, Hope Needs Never to Die.

Dear Citizens:

History is so haunted by confusion that darkness is customarily mistaken for clarity. Yet, even as the actual return of light seems hopeless, anyone disciplined enough to try once and then again, enacts the only way for collective wisdom to genuinely evolve.

Commonly laced with arrogance, deception, and denial, habits of perception haplessly clash and struggle for power; featuring money, patriotism, sex, class, and race as tools for fooling change, victimized by convention. Consequently, the opposite of real good being done is more familiar than relatives, and more broadly accepted as a welcomed guest in our homes than the saints we claim to adore.

Personal customs of thought are so filled with so little wisdom that collective forces are spawning a universal road to hell. Nonetheless, hopeful change can still go no faster than step by step, and one individual at a time. Therefore, individuals endeavoring to manage endless potential pitfalls must become an art, formed by character, cultivated to end the possible end of mankind.

Against the background of a growing storm, contemplate the voice of hope, and discover that character development for global conflict-resolution is the antidote to personal despair. Against the background of corrupt ideas, contemplate positive principles and reconceive human development, graced by change.

Dear Contemplative Friends:

Concerning the state of the world, Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.” Elsewhere, C.G. Jung said, “It is high time we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to teach people the art of seeing.” Therefore, it may be said that since neglect for refining “the art of seeing” dims the light in what we believe, faith based on unrefined perspectives constitutes a barrier to health, throughout society.

In the landscape of human relations, discord arises from untimely dispositions.
And, where ignorance breeds conflict between opposites, hell grows where contemplating high principles could evoke heaven, to attend to our lowest tendencies. Based on the character of the landscape in our relations, principles integrate to resolve chaos, or disintegrate to disfigure humanity.

Dear Contemplative Friends:

In order to avert the collapse of civilization, timely adjustments in our perspectives can be efficiently and effectively cultivated through contemplation. Thereby, as sage principles are regularly contemplated for self-empowerment, negativity can be positively reformed, and collective peace begins to inherit the future, one willing soul at a time.

In everyday experiences, change amasses or reduces everything, even historical limitations. Consequently, for practical applications to life, day by day, our perspectives can be transformed for higher understanding of consciousness. Daily, cultivating progressive concepts for character development actualizes the natural way (Tao) for universal conflict-resolution, integrated into general human development. Daily, the means whereby the cosmos transforms future chaos is by means of individuals, constructing reflective dialogues, to positively reconstruct the meaning of the past.

As it projects creative and destructive powers through personality and perception, human consciousness can reflect comprehensive potentials of change. The power of the personality projects universal principles in personal affairs. Therefore, even in small details, principles in our personalities are universal powers, the spiritual background to the phenomenal world. Consequently, the process for generalizing creative conflict-resolution depends on individual actions, acting to generally reflect positive global principles.

Because principles in our personalities need to be aligned with the creative character of the universe, powerful education for superior character development requires a universal psychology and philosophy of consciousness. Then, one individual at a time, through responsible global citizenship, as (W)hole® sage thoughts for conflict-resolution are regularly, efficiently, and effectively contemplated, world peace through (W)hole® self-cultivation can redirect global destruction.

Positive self-transformation for sustainable life on Earth is essential to sound reasoning. Peace requires reasoning, and reasoning requires insightful education for timeliness. Significantly, timely insights wisely require compassion for ignorance. Therefore, so long as smugness is divorced in favor of bonding with timely change, hope lives as resistance to wisdom dies.

To assist contemplators to save the world from habitual character deficits, I wrote a contemplative manual for self-cultivating world peace titled, The Way to See (W)hole®. As an anchor for critical character development, it urges realizing that “Understanding the nature of change, changes the nature of understanding”. Moreover, its emphasis is that universal precepts for character development have powers to progressively establish Heaven on Earth. In summary, the spiritual union of individuals who contemplate (W)hole® principles for comprehensive human development is how Heaven on Earth is done.

Dear Contemplative Friends:

Facing vexations with perspectives marked by less than comprehensive orientations, we generally frustrate the peace we commonly desire. Consequently, all around the world, those who desire wisdom for conflict-resolution historically confront deficiencies, resistant to timely change. It follows then that no matter how confident or sincere we may be, without timely insights to strengthen virtues for renewal, positive intentions to empower profound change will nonetheless be stymied. Therefore, to cultivate creative challenges to the daily grind of habitual dispositions, genuinely (W)hole® perspectives must be contemplated to enact global success.

Authentic success must reflect change; and the contemplation of (W)hole® sage perspectives is how personal change can magnify, solidify, and broadly engender manifold creativity. Thereby, as one and then more responsible individuals contemplate principles for superior self-cultivation, collective empowerment for world peace begins, only by means of one individual at a time.

On the road to making a difference, Dr. Martin L. King said, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” Concerning global conflict-resolution as the crown of human development then, more and more people of good will must come to understand that Understanding the nature of change, changes the nature of understanding.

In order for individuals to self-cultivate global change, contemplating principles for superior character development offers the broadest pathway for enlightened human development. And, on the road to peace, only courage to reach the highest truth leads deep enough to attain the goal. Principles for timely compassionate action are roots to the Cosmic Tree, that feed flowers and fruits of wisdom. Therefore, since reliable resources for timely inspiration are needed to lift hope from despair, this blog is a contemplative resource for superior character development.
