Happy Krishna Janmashtami!

(pronounced I believe John-MOSH-tom-eee, my mystical experience for this below)

Friday Sep 4, 2026 is the celebration for the birth of Krishna, the Hindu god of love and joy. Think a happy blue Jesus who likes to party. ET first contact specialist Bashar says Jesus loved to laugh and play with kids, not what he's usually known for.

I wouldn't have known about today but a Hindu man came to me in a dream Wednesday morning and said a big Hindu holiday was coming. For this he showed me a prayer breathing practice which I have no idea is anything traditional but I've been enjoying doing it.

Put your hands together in prayer with thumbs on your lips, tips of the thumbs under your nose. Breath in and tilt your hands on your nose to touch your finger tips to your third eye. Then exhale back again and repeat.

People celebrate at midnight after a day of fasting. I didn't fast and I'm still ready to feast! I had a nice evening taking my sons to an old restored mill pond little waterfall, then a popular dairy farm ice cream shop watching their cows in the fields at sunset. Oh yeah, Krishna likes to dance with the milkmaids!

Then I came home, read more about the holiday, and thanked my Hindu lifetime for telling me about it. Manu comes to me frequently in dreams and meditations, I got the name Manu for him, it means wise man in Sanskrit, and also bird in Polynesian languages. I was thinking about revisiting the amazing local bird zoo in Scotland Neck, NC today too!

So then Manu reminded me of the song we wrote together years ago. This came to me March 2011 on the way to see Krishna Das in concert north of Boston. Krishna Das is a great American kirtan singer, and Manu got me singing like a warm-up band. I haven't played this song in a while. I sure enjoyed figuring out the chords and playing it on my guitar. I've played the same guitar since childhood. So this time I sang with the recording we made 15 years ago for my reincarnation website created early 2011. Here's the link to hear the song, which would make a great ecstatic kirtan chant if someone can play the chord changes fast enough.

There, I needed to share my story for today. I hope my spiritual adventures in happy living can inspire and guide you too. You see, I've had mystical fun times with my soul family and spirit friends all my life. It's just that the negative belief systems kept dragging me back to hell. I like to say that we've all been to heaven many times, the trick is to stay there.

Now I understand more than ever, that magical joy is the real spiritual home from which to manifest a happy ever after physical life. If ever I wondered if reality and society were supposed to take care of me, then fascism, Trump, and human caused climate disaster have disabused me of such illusions. Thanks for that clarity of repulsion, y'all! A visit to hell has pushed me to turn around and choose the Source's paradise for me fully finally. It's up to each of us to take care of our worlds so they can take care of us.

In his inaugural address in 1961, President John F. Kennedy said:

"Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country"

Obviously that's not the advice that corrupt self-serving leaders follow, thus forcing me to expand the sentiment to say:

"Ask not how your reality can save you,
Ask how you can save your reality."

Thus I learn to live from my own soul's magic, love, and destiny, so I can truly keep the best and let go the rest.

Do your best, let Source do the rest!

All in divine timing.

The Greeks called divine timing Kairos, as opposed to the clock based time of Chronos.

Chronology is absolutely wonderful when it's synchronized with the spiritual home, which is 4d so that entire timelines can be choreographed perfectly. Many people look for synchronicities to organize their lives. Really it's about letting love guide everything.

Only love is real! And anything is possible for love. Let love be the highest causality.

There, how's that for mystical lifestyle sharing? Does that make sense to anyone who has read this far?

Well peace and joy to you! Look at my YouTube channel if you need or want more guidance for the ascension process. That's when you become the creator in the creation to have heaven on the Earth. No more segregation of the spiritual energy from the human forms.

Earlier today I wrote a draft for our Sunday church service, me and my soul family including sister Hildegard. Many dreams of us teaching together. I'll finalize that writeup to post in meetup and here tonight.

Smiles to go before we sleep!

And a nod to Robert Frost, he knows I took the path less traveled and it made all the difference.

best wishes,

One of my greatest guiding dreams from my late 30's came back to me in a search today to remind me of who I am. Thanks Universe!

The Song of Isha Ganesha
by Carl Johann Schroeder https://dreamnetworkjournal.com/bcpov6kuisha/the-song-of-isha-ganesha

I'm delighted to see this is easily found online as it was my only journal published dream article, submitted to honor the dream 24 years ago. Yes, that's how old I am. I love to date myself! (puns intended)

The fabulous Dream Network Journal was started by Dr. Bill Stimson in New York City in 1982. The print version ran from 1982 until 2015 before switching to the current online form with lots of great people contributing. Consider submitting something if you feel inspired to!

The Dream Network Journal was published in printed form from 1982 to 2015, a place for people to share the wonder and mystery of dreams. This archive offers all issues of the DNJ for download, and reproduces many articles in blog form. The reawakening begins.

On August 26, 2026 the valleys of Tibet-Nepal were wiped out by a sudden massive wall of mud and water the scale of which has never been seen. People desperate to make sense of this are saying things like it shows how life is fragile or that nature can be dangerous. Bu****it.

There was a glacier collapse due to human caused climate change. One of the most spiritual places on Earth took the hit to show that climate disaster is a human spiritual problem.

This means don’t blame anyone or anything. Focus on changing your relationship with the Source of life itself. Each of us has freewill to face the consequences of our choices in what kind of sustainable or unsustainable world unfolded around us.

Do NOT accept powerlessness. Instead accept that you are limitlessly powerful so you can consciously choose to live in harmony with the Universe again. Nobody else creates your reality that is reflecting choices back to you. Look at all the conspiracy theories for who is to blame. Thinking that way is what is to blame.

Your reality is showing that you are the creator with destructive choices to forgive and change. All this rage, fear, and hopelessness that we see and feel are false flags of a negative belief system that wants to keep you small and dominated. Feel it to heal it by saying to yourself I’ve had enough.

Your lens on the world is the projection point for the Source light to come through from inside of you. Nature is reliable, strong and good. How you see and explain the world to yourself is the story you are forcing your human self to live.

To be clear: your personal lifestyle complete with the beliefs that you insist on holding onto generates the feelings, thoughts and actions that put you in a world of other matching people. You will never change other people and you never need to. Change yourself and you land in a different matching world.

Every possible reality always exists in the infinite eternal now. It’s like a giant map of all the cosmic tourist destinations for your consciousness forever. Physics has detected this as the infinite eternal quantum energy fields that condense into physical scenes depending on how you interact with them. There’s nothing actually out there. Your life is all inside of you.

Each of us has our victim-abuser scripts that drove the entire play which became a tragedy. You are the Universe experiencing itself through your own conscious choices. Not the greedy billionaires, not the presidents and dictators, not the people who voted for them, not the natural disasters. Those are the magnified downstream consequences of your little decisions to react in fight or flight rather than cocreate with God, Goddess, All That Is.

The glacier melted and broke. The old frozen patterns can’t hold back the truth. Learned helplessness has destroyed you, learned power will restore you.

I’m saying this to myself and showing my inner dialogue because sharing reality is how people become aware of the choices that are available.

I remember more than most people, including past lives in Tibet. I’ve spent lifetimes feeling and following God so I could tell other people what to do because obviously they were causing the problem. I was wrong, I’m sorry. I was causing my own problem in my patterns of blame and denial. I get to see a dying world to match my dying feelings. And I get to feel a spiritual world calling me to live again.

None of us has to die to get back to heaven. Waking reality is an instructive dream. Learn and let yourself change entirely to become the free thriving person that you always felt inside. The outer world will change accordingly.

The logical conclusions of science and society are condemning you to a future that is obsolete. Miracles are the norm when your story continuity is the infinite creator’s love.

You don’t have to agree with these ideas, which I explore in my free meetups and YouTube channel.

Wishing you all the answers that you need to live happy ever after, because that is the divine plan.

Thank you Tibet. (crying)

Affirm to yourself that life's working out for you because you let go other people's choices to focus on being and doing yourself
