Why You Shouldn’t Waste Your Time Fixing Yourself

A Pine Overlooks the Valley

SALT LAKE CITY, UT—I often receive emails from readers asking for advice (and I encourage this). Many of them though are based on an attachment to their “mortal” life. One of the coolest things about living as a Soul is that practically all of your “problems” immediately evaporate.

More below the break (huh?).

The Mystical Nature of Caring

My New and Old T-Shirt

SALT LAKE CITY, UT—During a walk yesterday, I serendipitously discovered a simple way to help the less fortunate while at the same time helping yourself. More below the break (huh?).

Stumbling Along

Monday, April 25th, 2011

Colorado River in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, UT—I believe I’m looking for a place to “go to ground” for a few months—maybe a year. I think that is what this wandering westward is all about—to find a cool place to live for awhile. The freelance coding is helping to replenish my funds, but I want to begin writing again soon and I need time for that.

I love the nomad life, but I found that about 30-40% of my mental energy gets directed toward it—driving, finding a place to stay, exploring the area. While fun, it leaves far less time and energy for writing.

My luck being what it is though, as soon as I upload this post I’ll stumble across a great deal on a truck/trailer/camper combo and I just won’t be able pass it up.

Ehh… either way I can’t lose.

A Long Beautiful Drive

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

 

Silverton, CO

CORTEZ, CO—I worked all day yesterday, then drove the San Juan Skyway Loop today. I didn’t even know there was a San Juan Skyway, I just wanted to revisit the road north of Durango (last time I was there, I was “Divinely” interrupted).

Anyway, what a beautiful route. Silverton and Ouray reminded me of Cicely from the 80′s show, Northern Exposure: both are picturesque little towns surrounded by mountains. Very cool.

The Taos Incident

Windmill on the Plains

BLOOMFIELD, NM—One of the dangers of an online diary/blog, is that when you say something outlandish like, “which confirmed my theory that She wanted me to check out Taos” (Synchronicity #2 on April 6th’s post) and you are implying that something very much like what most people would call God is talking directly to you, well, you just leave yourself wide open for humiliation, failure and online ridicule. Fortunately I could care less about those things.

Here’s what did and didn’t happen in Taos earlier today (below the break) (huh?).

Fear, Control and Radiance

A Dying Lake

CLAYTON, NM—As I drift westward—watching for Her signs, listening for Her whispers—sometimes old conditioning tries to tempt me to pick up the reins and wrest control away from Her.

To A. Lilly…

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

I received a number of comments today from a new reader, A. Lilly, and I tried to send him/her an email but the mail didn’t go through. As I was sending it, I realized others may appreciate the email so—and maybe that’s why it didn’t go through (She can be sneaky that way)—I felt I should post it here on the blog.  The contents below the break…

Dark Nights of Anger

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Screen Door after the Rain

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—About a month ago, while I was staying at my parents, I experienced two powerful dark nights of anger.

Two nights—separated by about a week—where dark repressed anger from my old solid self overwhelmed me. Lying in bed alone in the dark, I was helpless to control these emotions.

In the sense that these deep repressed emotions poured out of my unconsciousness, these nights were similar to my Dark Night of the Soul (though much milder). Old anger poured outward, and a separate clear, loving “me” accepted it.

The funny thing is, not for one nanosecond was I angry at anything real—none of the anger was based on Reality. Only the past. Only non-existant pieces of mental fluff. I was mad at a bunch of Hortons.

Even though I knew I was mad at nothing, it didn’t make my suffering any easier.

On the flip side, I felt completely clear afterwards and I continue to, to this day. After each “purification,” I felt as if some dark and heavy weight—a weight that I didn’t know I even carried—had fallen away.

It’s all part of the process. The letting go. The surrendering.

The Source of the Enlightened

Dock on Guntersville Lake, AL

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—Drifting westward, I’ve stopped in Oklahoma City to get some work done.

More and more I’m questioning how it is that others who claim enlightenment aren’t more mystical. When their personal self fell away, what do they claim motivates them from day to day? When they look for their source, how can they NOT find Divinity?

Seven Synchronicities

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Two Park Benches

LAKE GUNTERSVILLE SP, AL—Practically every day, whenever I’m in public, I’ll catch people doing a double-take at me. It usually goes something like this: Recognition then Confusion then Curiosity then the Leaning In then the Parting of the Mouth (as if they are going to say something) then the Change of Mind then a Pulling Away and finally four or five sidelong glances. It’s really kind of funny.

After yesterday’s synchronistic events (below), I should probably start encouraging them to talk.

Mystical Oneness for the Religiously Inclined

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
The Green Door

CHATTANOOGA, TN—I received a Wisdom for Alms request the other day from a reader with a Christian background. In answering his inquiry about making the Leap of Faith (the transition from Mortal to Soul), I realized that my message (Mystical Oneness) may be more acceptable to the religious than I first suspected.

My reply to his inquiry below the break (huh?).

Do I Think I’m Special?

Friday, April 1st, 2011

High Window

CHATTANOOGA, TN—To new readers of my blog, my last post, Her Whispers, might imply that I believe that I am somehow special (or crazy).

Crazy… well, the jury is still out on that one, but special, ironically, is the exact opposite of what I feel I am.

The truth of the matter is, I don’ t believe in myself.

I, the Wayne-Wirs-separate-self-thing, is quite literally, nothing. A figment of the imagination.

Oneness—enlightenment—can’t exist with two (or more).

The personal self, the idea of a separate self, is an illusion.

All separation is created by the mind.

What might be confusing is that I, through necessity, have to write from separation—and I often do this from the Radiance level—but ultimately there is no I and no Her (or you and Her), just Oneness.

It’s not that I have a special relationship with Her

It is that She is everything and I am nothing.

Though they may call Her something like Awareness or Emptiness or Presence, ask any enlightened person and they’ll tell you the same thing…

“You are not who you think you are. You are (Awareness, Emptiness, Presence, God, the Universe, Tao, Brahman, Allah, the Beloved… Her). You are, and have always been, that which you seek.”
