Let not your mind take control but do let your heart open to the possibility that it alone can lead you, for it is more intelligent, more connected and fine tuned than you realize. With the heart leading, life changes and love, compassion and kindness become the norm. Wouldn’t you like to try that for a change?
Sending you love

The salient feature of a hologram is that every slice of it, no matter how infinitesimal, at the subtlest level of energetic reality contains the wholeness of the hologram.
We simply cannot get away from the basic fact that everything around us is also part of us. We are all part of the same hologram. At the solid material level of reality, the appearance of separateness and uniqueness belies the hidden truth that all, everything, is one.
What gives us our distinctness in our current life is the specific position our personality currently occupies in the hologram. Although we contain within us potential access to all the positions of the hologram, our ‘personality’ is merely the fixed position, with its unique perspective, that we occupy in this life.
The shamans of ancient Mexico coined the term the assemblage point to depict the distinct position one occupies in the hologram and how, from that vantage point, energy is assembled into one’s perception of the world.
Until recently, the collective assemblage point of humankind was relatively consistent among all members of the human race, which generated a fairly uniform consensus reality. Presently, however, there is little collective consensus of reality, creating the instability, uncertainty and great changes the world is currently experiencing.
A shift in the assemblage point to a new position sends one into another perception of reality, into another world. In sleeping, the assemblage point naturally shifts, as we enter dreams, which take us to alternate positions of the assemblage point where we experience different personalities, often unknown or dormant parts of the hologram, within our reach but not emphasized in our waking, assembled selves.
These minor shifts of the assemblage point may take us into the suppressed regions of the subconscious mind or the unconscious regions of the greater hologram. Past lives may actually be personal in the sense that they are experienced personally when one shifts into, lives, and remembers the history contained in a newly discovered position of the assemblage point. Nonetheless, shifts into past lives are actually also collective, in that anyone who experiences that same position will have the same memory.
Just after WWII, at the formative age of 19, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, later the renowned author of Death and Dying, visited Maidanek, the concentration camp in Poland where many young children had been exterminated. She interacted with a young Jewish girl who elected to stay there rather than leave at the end of the war. This young girl was spared, just prior to liberation of the camp by the Allies, simply because one more person could not fit into the gas chamber. In her horror, Elisabeth asked her:
“…Why do you stay in this place of inhumanity?” She said, ‘during the last few weeks of the concentration camp I swore to myself that I was going to survive to do nothing but tell the world of all of the horrors of the Nazis and the concentration camps. Then the liberation army came. I looked at those people and I said to myself: ‘No. If I would do that, I would be no better than Hitler himself.’ Because what else would I then do but to plant even more seeds of hate and negativity in the world? ….if I can touch one single human life and turn it away from negativity, from hate, from revenge, from bitterness into one that can serve and love and care, then it might be worthwhile and I deserved to survive.” “…Don’t you believe, Elisabeth, that in all of us there is a Hitler?”
–from The Tunnel and The Light, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, 1999
This young girl had the wisdom to see that indeed, Hitler was just another position of the assemblage point, the position of negativity and hatred. She had been emotionally drawn to shift to this position within herself in the waning weeks of the war. In the end, she acknowledged her own inner Hitler potential and chose to adhere to the position of love, with the intent to shift away from occupying the position of negativity and instead to advance the healing of the world.
The ability to acknowledge that we are all part of the same hologram, that we are all capable of everything, lessens the need for our psyche to introduce us to ourselves through our disowned and hated parts, via projection onto other people.
It may be impossible to not feel the rage and hatred this girl experienced initially; in fact it’s critical to acknowledge it and release the emotions of it. However, to not become possessed by the Hitlerian position of the assemblage point one must intend a different position.
The time we are living in is flush with the negativity of Hitler types. To counter this position one must first acknowledge one’s own attraction to, and capacity for, negativity. From this place of truthfulness, one can accept inherent flawed-ness as a characteristic of the human hologram, as well as accept one’s own personal flaws.
With this self-acceptance, negativity loses its grip and one is freed to just love, the ideal position of the assemblage point within the human hologram.
Find this position within the personal self and contribute to its collective emphasis in our coming new consensus reality. We all have agency. Let love be the emphasis.
With love,
Chuck
Life is meant to be lived, so don’t hold back. But do be discerning in what direction you decide to go. Live a life that is full of compassion for self and other. Live a life that is full of kindness for self and other. Live a life that is full of love for self and other. In fully living a life that is full of compassion, kindness and love, you can’t make a mistake or take a wrong turn. And all will be well.
Sending you love,

Don’t get lost in the crowd. Stand out with your loving nature, your kindness and your compassion at the ready. It’s fine to blend in when appropriate but far better to remain in a place of light and love, no matter the circumstances. Without judgment of others, strive always to be the good and gentle loving being that you truly are.
Sending you love,

In 1952, Carl Jung published an extremely provocative book entitled Answer to Job. I was drawn to read it this past week and find I must write my own provocative blog, based upon its insights, as they reflect upon the world stage of now.
I, like Jung, seek refuge from blasphemy by focusing on God as a psychological reality alone, with no comment on liturgical validity.
In a nutshell, Jung points out that for all of God’s omniscience—all knowingness—and omnipotence—all powerfulness—he mercilessly and even immorally tortured Job, his most faithful of servants, this all based upon a dare from his son, Satan.
Jung points out that at this pre-Christian stage of religious history it was evident that God blatantly expressed the full bipolar nature of his wholeness as both a loving and a vengeful God. Job, in his reaction to God’s undeserved cruelty, evidenced a moral superiority to God, as he remained completely loyal and quiet while bearing his undeserved punishment.
In effect, Job’s bearing the cross of this injustice without rageful reaction, yet with clear knowing of its undeservedness, achieved a reconciliation of emotional and cognitive opposites superior to that of God himself. Jung goes on to suggest that God actually requires human beings to struggle with these same opposites within themselves to advance His, God’s, own evolution.
Indeed, life in human form is fraught with the torment of opposites. Life is suffering states the Buddha. When Bad Things Happen to Good People writes Rabbi Kushner. The people of Ukraine are being slaughtered, like Job, for no fair reason. How can good and evil be reconciled to ensure a future for our threatened planet?
Christianity was built upon love, as in love thy neighbor as thyself. This heart-centered compassion for all beings does offer a reconciliation to the current tearing apart of life, as experienced in the extreme polarities at war in all nations of the world. However, this heart-centered solution has yet to advance.
The schism in the Christian solution of love is rooted in its splitting off, disowning, and condemning of the shadow side of self, and of God. Evil’s rightful inclusion as part of the wholeness of God, and human, is lost. This results in the projection of one’s own evil upon thy neighbor, which forestalls the commandment to love thy neighbor. This leads, as well, to the kinds of abuses resulting from the repression by the conscious personality of one’s shadow, and the subsequent possession of the personality by that shadow self.
If Jung was correct in his assessment, human salvation requires a human willingness to bear the tension of the opposites, such as is currently unleashing upon the world stage, in the disintegration of laws in such places as the United States Supreme Court, for instance, as well as in the overall governance of the world.
The fact that civilization, as we have known it, is breaking down, means that we are being called upon to reconcile the unleashed extreme opposites, which we are all composed of, in a new and durable form. Love may be the answer, but we won’t get to it through disowning our own evil side and blindly projecting it upon our neighbor.
Prayer may be helpful, but remember the challenge of Job: God required of him to find a reconciliation of love, hate, cruelty, and unfairness to provide an answer for God himself. Everyone of us is divinely challenged to take up the reconciliation of the extreme opposites inherent in our own bipolar nature, as reflected in the chaos of our time.
Bearing the cross of opposites to achieve balanced wholeness in human form is taking up the work of God’s karma. Assuming full responsibility for the life we are in is the only path to survival and sustainable evolution.
In pragmatic terms, we must begin by accepting, without blame or resentment, that life is unfair. Actually, this, in itself, is the outcome of a transformative process, which requires that we first allow ourselves to accept and express, in some form, the “evil” of our intense emotional reactions to being ruthlessly offended.
We are then freed to bear the tension of our unfair circumstances as we move beyond the entrapments of resentment and self-pity. From the groundedness of this acceptance we find our way to the equanimity that values all circumstances equally. From this place, we are emotionally refined and able to find our way to the love and transcendence available at the heart of our being.
Love does offer the breadth of acceptance that owns and reconciles the truth of our bipolar nature. To travel this human path is indeed a genuine resolution of the the divine conflict of now.
Assuming responsibility to love,
Chuck
