In this issue: * Spiritul Illusions * "It's OK" * The Looking Glass * Cosmic Bubbles * Introduction to Future Alchemy ..................................................... Spiritual Illusions Everyone has a version of "how it is." As you grow, you explore many different versions, hoping one day that you'll find The Version. Classically, this process of discovery is "The Quest." You can travel through many stages as you search. In Stage One, you *know* something isn't right - probably you. This uncertain feeling drives you to find an answer. Eventually, you stumble onto something that you believe is IT. It may take the form of a metaphysical, religious, or philosophical system, or perhaps some charismatic leader. Finding It marks the beginning of Stage Two. After a while, though, you discover flaws in the system. It's not everything that you thought it would be. You move on. Maybe next time, you'll find the REAL Answer. Eventually, you fall upon another candidate. Like before, however, you unhappily uncover flaws in this system. You repeat this search-and-find pattern, until you finally give up. At this point, you enter Stage Three. In this stage, you realize that no one knows; you're on your own. You now begin to construct a personalized picture of reality. It contains many elements that you've assimilated during your travels. If this structure was visible, it would resemble a bird's nest. Over time, you refine and perfect your picture, until finally, you *really* know How It Is. You now have most (if not all) of the answers. Uh-oh. Phase Four is knocking on your door. Officially, you've become a True Believer in *your* picture of reality - you have the rules figured out in your head. You're like a king (or queen), enthroned at the center of your creation. At this prominent position, however, you become a prisoner, trapped and alone inside a dark, stone castle. Once you know everything, you're as good as dead - conceptually speaking. You can't grow. Additionally, knowing How It Is, is tainted with conceit. You understand; the uninformed don't. You can correct and direct them. For example, someone may experience something, and they will interpret it through their reality filters. Because you *know*, however, you can put their experience into a more valuable context, something that will benefit them. You will show them the Light, and chalk up guru points for your efforts. As a king, you have the privilege - no, the duty - to keep Seekers in line. ("In line" means "within the bounds of your picture of reality.") You give sloppy thinkers (or worse - heretics!) the "slap of the Buddha." And who is more qualified to act on the Buddha's behalf? . . . You do this, of course, for their own good. In fairness, sometimes you help others by sharing insights and advice. They may be grateful. Yet, this position of consciousness is a subtle ego trap that makes you suffer by keeping you separate. (Some True Believers don't create their own philosophy. They use traditionally wrapped belief systems. If they have a question, they can read The Book or consult the leader. This way is simpler, because [usually] a God-inspired Source provides all the answers. Many decent and loving people live within this framework. So do fanatics.) Knot Knowing In the world of metaphysics, anyone can say almost anything, and no one can prove them wrong. Take God for instance. Aken-Aten was a mystical Egyptian Pharaoh and the "first individual in history." He was the first to propose the idea of One Big God. Moses, having lived in the Egyptian Royal Court, borrowed this revolutionary concept. He presented it to his people and, as the coup de grace, claimed that the One Big God was exclusively their God! They deposed the competition by declaring that other gods we re evil and impotent impostors. The writings of that small, nomadic tribe became known as "The Bible" - the Word of God, no less. It caught on and became a best seller. Since then (with few exceptions), theists agree that only One Big God exists. Even the Wiccans and Hindus, who colorfully believe in many sub-deities, believe in the One Big God. Looking deeper, however, how can we possibly know this? Atheists will tell you that zero Gods exist. This split represents the familiar believer/disbeliever polarity. Neither side, however, knows. Each believes. Each can pump arguments into your head about why they are right, the other wrong. Like most polarized arguments, they are heavy, gray, and without humor. Yet, these debates are a necessary part of one's development. True Believers are True Disbelievers on the other side of the fence. We have a third possibility. More than One Big God might exist. I'm not referring to the revered Immortals of Mount Olympus or the animal totems of Stone Age tribes. Instead, imagine seven or so individual One-Big-God Creators, ecstatically *being* together (the "All-That-Ises"), doing everything. Why not? What proof *of any kind* does anyone have to the contrary? (I'm not suggesting that this idea is true. Rather, this reality is *as conceivable* as the One-Big-God theory.) What happens is this. We can be sure of some facts - at least existentially. For instance, the world is round (as opposed to flat). We can fly or cruise around the globe together and nod, "Yes, this is a fact." However, beyond that existential nod, *every thing is a GUESS*. Guessing includes speculating about the purpose of life. Some say that we're here to learn. Others believe that the purpose is to wake up or to make money. Still, others think that life is meaningless. We are voting citizens of Best Gue ssland. Being *certain* about metaphysical issues puts you in a tenuous psychological position. How can you know the unknowable? You've had gut feelings, insights, or "knowings" that some metaphysical axiom is true. Yet with time, what you once saw as a bright (or at least interesting) Truth fades to an inconsequential idea that you barely remember. Certainty is a box with familiar walls. We live in a house built with ideas. The foundation is material reality. If you choose to believe that a sub-foundation exists, that's fine. For the mystically inclined, this belief is a necessity. However, the nature of the sub-realm is subjective. Acting as an authority on this realm is a sign of spiritual egotism or, at least, delusion. Do It Anyway Part of our nature is to wonder aloud. Philosophers, intellectuals, theologians, and the clever, all enjoy engaging in the mental realm. They are mercurial engineers skilled at constructing elaborate mental structures, supported by tightly knit interior logic. (Some structures, though, are plagued by severe design flaws.) Not unlike lawyers, when they debate, often the point is to win - another form of vanity. (I'm not implying that these skirmishes are valueless.) Regardless, a degree of metaphysical certainty is desirable to some. Within limits, it lends stability. Balance is the key. Another part of our nature is to believe that our guesses are facts, or even the coveted Truth. Because of this, The Second Miraculodynamic Principle is useful: "Happiness and kindness are more important than beliefs." Unfortunately, you can't convince yourself that your truth is not true. While in the grip of True Believerism, *you must believe*. You can, however, accept your condition, and find balance. This Key of Balance opens the door to Stage Five. Acceptance brings peace and, in peace, you become more humble. Humility is not weakness. Rather, it reflects an inner satisfaction of not having to prove yourself. You understand that, like other intangibles, the *self* can't be proven. ............................................................... IT'S OK It's OK to see It's OK to hear It's OK to feel It's OK to smell It's OK to taste It's OK to take It's OK to give You don't have to exaggerate your pain You don't have to exaggerate your happiness Life is a gift. Don't miss it. ............................................. The Looking Glass by Monsieur Seymore Planettes In 1994, one of the walk-ins at Starbuilders brought through a *technology of consciousness* that he called "The Looking Glass." You activate this technology by using a simple verbal sequence or "code." When you "do the code," you "walk through the looking glass" into a parallel world. This sounds like the idea behind the TV program "Sliders," and I don't expect you to believe it. But here's the story anyway. Katrina and I were the first to use this tool. At first, we were skeptical - who wouldn't be. Nonetheless, we flipped the switch. We landed in a parallel earth that, not surprisingly, looked a lot like the one we just "left." Frankly, it looked exactly the same. There was, however, one difference. It *felt* completely different; the psychological texture had radically changed. We soon jumped again, and over time, were jumping often from world to world. Each time the energy was different. In one world, the keyword was sensual. In another, we felt primitive. Still others were so negative that we couldn't wait to leave. We tried to explain these feelings within a purely psychological context. Yet, that model wasn't big enough. The changes we experienced were much too comprehensive for it to be our imagination. (Unless, of course, we were delusional, which from a third-dimensional perspective, we were.) What puzzled us was why everything looked the same. The obvious reason was that we didn't go anywhere; we were playing hallucination duets on our brain bongos. However, pretend that we *did* jump. Plato said that when you're born, all pre-birth memories are erased. In our case, we were "born" into the bodies of fully grown people. Their memories were already in place, and we inherited them. Leaping, though, didn't purge *everything*. How else could we have known that something was different, unless we had another frame of reference to compare it to? We can stretch this logic into even more unusual shapes. What if we didn't shift from one *human* body into another? Instead, we had jumped from, say, a porpoise body. Stretched further, what if we had just left an extraterrestrial or eighth dimensional body? Walk-ins and channeled entities travel like that: they project their consciousness into the bodies of others. From this perspective, then, we were *consciously walking into another body*. Everything looked the same because, to the new brains that we were using (they were new to us), everything *was* the same. Our presence, however, added a new texture to the body's experience. Later, we learned about the non-personal benefits of shifting. Whenever we shifted, we would cut an energetic pathway between the worlds. These pathways allow energy and information to flow more readily from one world to the other. The results are enriching for both worlds. Creating many pathways produces a multidimensional web-like effect between the dimensions. (Dimensions, here, means the various frequencies at which some worlds vibrate. Now, science uses the electromagnetic spectrum to measure frequency. However, it's possible that another scale exists. Maybe it intersects or runs parallel to the electromagnetic spectrum. We just don't have the instruments to detect it yet.) What about personal benefits? We went through a series of shifts. Eventually, we arrived at a world where we were living a miraculous life, and we stayed there. We discovered that living a miraculous life *is only the beginning*. It acts as a base. From there, you can explore the Mystery more deeply. Because of our experiences with this technology, we saw how the indiscriminate use of it could be psychologically hazardous. We imagined people becoming lost in nether-earths, bouncing from world to world, desperate to escape, to return home (a la Sliders ). To counter this, we thought that we should ask $1,000 for the technology. This would discourage the mildly curious. Three years later, we recorded it on tape and asked $95. We did our best to include sufficient warnings. Besides having been walk ins, the experiences that the Looking Glass provided have been the most dramatic. It also brought up an intriguing question: Who is the "I" that travels? Are souls playing musical chairs with people's bodies? Probably not. Say that the true "I" is the Ocean of Existence (God). Unfortunately, our ego - the body consciousness - can't embody the wholeness of this ultimately expanded identity. It exists within the timespace matrix. Perhaps, though, "I" am a projection of higher-dimensional beings, whose awareness rides above the ego (the Watcher?). Isn't this projecting of consciousness the same as walk-ins? Are many of us (maybe all?), in a diffuse sense, walk-ins? If so, then you can use this technology to consciously trigger the walk-in process. Well, that's about it. We haven't used the technology lately, because we've reached a "miraculous life plateau." Besides, shifting is tough on the psyche. It's hard work. If you don't believe this story, I understand. I like facts and proof; however, I can't prove any of it. I can, though, tell you this: If what we experienced was true, then this world we're in now is superior (at least to our tastes) to many alternatives that are out there. We're grateful to be here. ............................................ COSMIC BUBBLES Ecstatic Creator Cosmic Ocean blows Bubbles within itself (Forms; You and I) that live until they POP! back into The Cosmic Ocean. ............................................. Future Alchemy: Introduction to IROOT:NOTology "The World's Most Fun (and Challenging) 'ology' " Pulsing like a white-hot star at the heart of IROOT:NOTology is the Prime Directive: *Live a Miraculous Life!* The Directive is beautiful, because it calls forth the highest potential of every human *without weighing them down with details*. You can start living a miraculous life NOW. Over time, you'll evolve deeper into this lifestyle; living a miraculous life is more of a process than a goal. Here's a kaleidoscopic window into IROOT:NOTology, presented in kiddychism form. As you'll see, IROOT:NOTics allegedly offers colorful internal riches that reflect externally and is far reaching in its evolutionary structuring. Caution: Alchemy at work. Wear appropriate attire. This is not for everyone. Q: What is IROOT:NOTics? A: The International Royal Order Of The: Nomads Of Truth has many facets. First, it presents a practical alchemy of the future dedicated to the evolution of the species. Second, it helps you live a miraculous life *by freeing you from paradoxical disharmonics*. This is possible because it links you to a higher dimensional grid that, in turn, is part of a specific evolutionary Vector. Third, when taken as a complete (yet work-in-progress) disbelief system, IROOT:NOTology works like a Nez "cone" (mystical riddle). "My heart beats in natural rhythm, marking time. Yet, time is an invention of the mind. What is this feeling of illusion?" Sab deLob, Nez Master Q: Is IROOT:NOTology the only "ology" dedicated to the evolution of humanity? A: No, many forces are at work. Like building a house, you need carpenters, electricians, masons, and more. On earth today, there are exactly 144,000 IROOT:NOTians (approximately). Some are awake, some are asleep. Some are "phasing" in and out. Q: What is the purpose of IROOT:NOT? A: IROOT:NOT has two purposes. One is personal, one is transpersonal. The transpersonal purpose is to participate in humanity's evolution. You support its leap from Homo sapien to Homo miraculus. The personal purpose is useful in its mutability. You say (fill in the blanks): "I came from _________. While I'm here, I will ___________. When I die, I will ____________." For example: "I came from the future. While I'm here, I will live a miraculous life! When I die, I will rejoin my 'Group Magi.'" (A Group Magi is a probable future-earth life form. At present, we have no models that accurately describe those beings. At best, it's an ultra-intimate, supra-physical union of widely diverse consciousnesses. This collective is aligned in purpose[s], and represents entities from different "time zones," locales, and dimensions.) You can fill in the blanks with anything. Change it whenever appropriate. Q: I can say *anything*? A: IROOT:NOTians try to stay in their integrity. Q: What about the Truth? A: The Truth is a living entity. Your mind can never capture it. Once you speak, you leave Its domain. You move into the denser realm of fact or guess. Once there, someone can always contradict what you say. If their logic is intact, they can present another equally valid perspective in which your truth is false. Most systems claim to posses the Absolute Truth, something that you must accept. ("God said so.") What they offer, however, is a peppering of facts served over a large portion of guesses. Q: At times, IROOT:NOTology sounds like a high, spiritual philosophy. At others, it sounds off the wall. What is it? A: IROOT:NOTology is about surfing the wave. If an IROOT:NOTian falls, she immediately replaces herself. Q: Why do you present the "Introduction to IROOT:NOT" *after* several "Updates"? A: IROOT:NOT reflects both the linear and non-linear aspects of the universe. When you present something in writing, it's easy to be linear - logical. Usually you're stuck with that. IROOT:NOT, however, presents itself non-linearly. This satisfies the non-linear cravings of sensitives. Q: What is the "Friendly Borg Principle"? A: IROOT:NOTians can use the Friendly Borg Principle. You can assimilate any idea from any other "ology" and use it in YOUR scheme of How It Is. Assimilate without guilt. Once assimilated, that idea serves you in a higher way within your structure. You can even assimilate the "loose ends" of your life. Holy holistic - a macro-Gestalt! (Caution: On present-day Earth, copyright, trade mark, and patent laws are still in effect.) Most belief systems have become standardized. If you know what someone believes in, then you know (within limits) their expectations and limitations. Even those with an "unlimited" belief system have limits: They don't believe in limits. Using the Friendly Borg Principle, you can build a unique position of consciousness. From there, you can hover enigmatically above traditional limitations. Q: Can non-IROOT:NOTians use the Friendly Borg Principle? A: If a True Believer assimilates new and dangerous ideas into her belief system, the Guardians of the System may *un-assimilate* HER. (Excommunication is an example.) Additionally, you can violate the Principle. You do this whenever you take an IROOT:NOT idea and translate it into the paradigm of most other systems. Q: What happens when you violate the Principle? A: When you violate the Principle, you will think that you understand, but you will not. You will understand something else. For instance, you could take the IROOT:NOT idea of "metascience" (trans-temporal alchemy) and think, "Oh, yeah, 'metaphysics'." However, when you translate like this, you move into a different conceptual framework. The "metaphysical landscape" is much different from the "metascience landscape." Q: Is the Friendly Borg Principle just a fancy way to say "copying"? A: No, copying requires little imagination. Q: Are IROOT:NOTians perfect? A: IROOT:NOTians aren't perfect, just forgiven. However, God has never condemned *anyone*, anyway. There's nothing to forgive. IROOT:NOTians are never "messed up," either. They "experience weirdness," which at some level is another form of normal. Q: Do IROOT:NOTians suffer? A: You bet! Be suspect of any "ology" that promises freedom from suffering. (If their claim was a fact, everyone would be doing it.) At best, you can shift your position of consciousness and not identify with your suffering. IROOT:NOTians are okay even when they're feeling miserable. Also, you can drop many of your non-miraculous behavioral patterns and suffer less. Q: What is original sin? A: Original sin is something you invent. If you copy, it isn't original. Q: What is sin? A: Since you can't hurt God, sin is when you hurt yourself. For IROOT:NOTians, sin is not living a miraculous life. Q: What is the penalty for sin? A: The penalty for sin is living a non-miraculous life. Q: IROOT:NOTics doesn't come across as serious. How can anyone concerned about spiritual growth practice it? A: IROOT:NOTics isn't serious; it's light and sincere with a sense of humor. *If you can't play at this level, then you can't stay in the game*. The serious attitude that lurks beneath most religious dogma stems from the fear of a vengeful God or a stingy universe. (Holy Books usually have black covers.) In these systems, the Rules are etched in stone. If you disobey them, God usually dishes out an outrageous, eternal punishment. For many IROOT:NOTians, however, God is innately ecstatic and unconditionally loving. "IT" has a spontaneous sense of humor. The Rules are lightly finger painted across your Center Brain in wavy, pastel lines of suggestion. In many ways, a theist's religious attitude matches her vision of how God is. For example, serious religious types believe in a serious God. Q: IROOT:NOT is from the future. Is this "message from the future" for real? A: As real as it gets. However, concerning beliefs, "for real" is always speculative (including the beliefs of IROOT:NOTology). Let's have a look at some poplar beliefs. Officially, you should take each of the stories below literally - not figuratively. Determine for yourself how "for real" each is. (We're not being cynical - we honor all views. Love and goodness exist in people exploring all paths. Mostly, we're presenting what is public knowledge. Maybe some stories are true.) * Christianity: The ancients thought that Heaven existed beyond the "solid dome" of the sky. Christ ascended into Heaven in His physical body. To get there, He rose skyward and went through a door in the sky dome. Also, God created the world at 9:00 P.M. on October 23 in 4004 B.C. * Hinduism: A little blue boy (who enjoys stealing butter) controls the universe. When He's ready to end the universe, He sucks His toe. Praying to basil bushes wins His favor. * Islam: God, speaking through a holy man, can declare a "holy war." * Judaism: Their leader talked to a mysterious burning bush that claimed to be God. The bush gave him a set of moral and religious codes - etched in stone. God said that this nomadic tribe was His "Chosen People." * Buddhism: Life bites. It's better not to be born. ("Life is suffering. Balance your karma so you don't reincarnate.") * Ba'Hai: The world would be a better place if everyone believed what we believe. * Catholicism: Every week, believers eat the body and drink the blood of their Savior. * New Age: Channeled Brand Name masters tell you How It Is. Channeled aliens sell nutritional supplements. Some frequently predict mass UFO landings. Thinking happy thoughts can solve the world's problems. * Unification: Their leader, a South Korean businessperson and arms manufacturer, is Jesus Christ. His wife is the Holy Spirit. Communism is the anti-Christ. * $cientology: For $25,000, you can "get clear" of those nasty aliens and their bubbles that have imprisoned your soul. * Vegans: Killing animals for food is wrong. Killing grains and vegetables for food is right. * Science: Science is based on the *belief* that you can know everything by using the scientific method. They don't believe in anything. * Astrology: A planet that's over a billion miles away can disrupt your love life. This can happen because the planet forms a bad aspect to a planet in your birth chart. In addition, you've got people drinking poison and kissing venomous snakes. Others flagellate themselves with medieval instruments of torture. Some throw sea shells on the ground to predict the future. Many insult, hurt, or kill disbelievers *to gain favor with THEIR God*. That's a brief summary. Use your Fifth Eye to discern others. Most believers accept these stories as fact, because *they believe in them*. They equate these profiles of reality with the Truth. Q: How can IROOT:NOTians claim to be from the future? A: It's easy! All Doctors of IROOT:NOTics know the answer, and the answer is . . . a question. First, do you believe in channeling? How about walk-ins? Channeling and being walked into are similar phenomena. They happen when *an other- dimensional entity projects its consciousness into your body*. Do you agree with this? Second, do you believe that consciousness can travel beyond its timespace position? If so, then you can conclude that *an entity in the future can project its consciousness back in time*. Some IROOT:NOTians have done this. You project your consciousness from the future into your current body, walking into yourself. This kind of "walk-in" experience differs from others, because the projecting consciousness is not someone else; it's you - your future self. By being from the future, you have access (by way of the ur-Tide) to what's going to happen. IROOT:NOTology calls this "Memory Activation." You don't have to believe any of this; like all of IROOT:NOTology, it's a probability offering. Sometimes science receives information from the future, as well. "Superstring Theory" is an example of this phenomenon. "String Theory is twenty-first century physics that fell accidentally into the twentieth century. . . . No one invented Superstring Theory on purpose. . . . By rights, twentieth century physicists shouldn't have had the privilege of studying this theory. By rights, Superstring Theory shouldn't have been invented until our knowledge of some of the ideas . . . prerequisite for Superstring Theory had developed to the point that it was possible for us to have the right concept of what it was all about." Edward Witten, physicist Interview, "Superstrings." Once you dip your Toe in the ur-Tide, you begin to function as a temporal vortex. You will know things that, by rights, you shouldn't know. Q: How can I tell if I'm from the future? A: Look at your hand for a moment, and then ask yourself these questions. Does the human body look like a primitive life form? Does today's medical system seem barbaric? How about the justice, economic, religious, and political systems? Are interpersonal relationships missing something? If you've answered Yes to these questions, then it's possible that you're from the future. (At least you fit the profile.) How else could you have this perspective? "Past lives" can't explain why you see the body as primitive. You're no stranger; you're from a different "time zone." Q: Are all IROOT:NOTians from the future? A: IROOT:NOTians are from wherever they want. Some are futuristic, some are "et's," others are plain ol' humans. Some are old souls, ascended (or descended) masters, and some haven't decided yet. Conversely, many people today are from the past. They've never left the 50's, 60's, 70's, or from wherever they feel comfortable. They continue to behave in the headset of that time zone. Q: All of this sounds new. What about the saying, "There's nothing new under the sun?" A: Long ago, a young man watched the sun rise and the sun set every day. He noted how the seasons rotated and repeated. He saw the women, every Monday, take dirty laundry down to the river to wash. This went on, year after year. The word "cycles" circled his brain. One day, the man now gray and wise, said, "There is nothing new under the sun." Upon hearing these words, thinkers throughout the land scratched their beards. The less civilized scratched their butts. All, however, nodded in agreement that the words were indeed wise. The saying became famous and joined the ranks of other gems such as, "As above, so below" and "Just do it." Times have changed. Refrigerators are new. Spacecraft landing on other planets is new. Expansive cosmologies hatch frequently. Since the Renaissance, "new" happens often, reflecting advancements in human understanding. Although some prefer the simpler times (and perhaps rightly so), we are on an evolutionary escalator. We cannot turn back. We can embody our highest potential now more than ever in history: Live a miraculous life! Q: Do all Paths lead to God? A: If God exists, they sure do. That's why IROOT:NOTology says that EVERYONE is Pre-Saved. However, not all paths focus on living a miraculous life. Some focus on gaining good karma or reducing bad karma. Some focus on saving themselves and others. Other groups elevate suffering, believing that it makes you strong. (Maybe it does.) Eulogy: "He suffered all of his life and became strong. Then he died." (Existentially, all paths end like that.) The process works like this. Say you want to be a carpenter. First, you become an apprentice. You study and practice until you become proficient. Eventually, you become a master carpenter. That's the path, and that's where it leads. If you choose to "learn lessons," eventually you'll master that. You might end up teaching. However, learning and teaching won't make you a master at living a miraculous life. You'll be a master student/teacher. Q: What if God doesn't exist? A: Then it's in your best interest to live a miraculous life anyway. Q: How are paradoxes binding? A: Just as a planet has magnetic poles, paradoxes have them, too. IROOT:NOTology calls this binding force *the Polarized Psychomagnetic Field of Disharmonic Attraction*. In layman's terms, it's the "P-Zone." P-Zones are fractalesque in nature and exist on the P-Zone Plane (which intersects the Mental Plane). Your "buttons" reside there, as in, "He really knows how to push my buttons." Viewed through the Fifth Eye (and converted into a comprehensible 3-D image), the P-Zone is egg shaped. Bands of P-Zone energy flow from the North and South poles of the egg. The more intense the issue (paradox), the more tightly knit the bands are. When you entangle yourself in these high-tension wires, you become tense. Q: Why are most "ologies" bound by paradox while IROOT:NOTology is not? A: Because IROOT:NOTology isn't an "ology." It's a state of dynamic consciousness that has sprouted "ology"-like appendages. Q: How does IROOT:NOTics "sear" paradoxes? A: Your Toe (Transpsychic Oracle Extraordinaire) is what sears paradoxes. HOW it sears them, however, is problematic. The answer is buried deep within the esoteric vaults of IROOT:NOT lore. Even the great Nez Masters, with their catlike ability to pierce darkness, have trouble navigating these vaults. They must squint to gain even a shadowed glimpse of an obscure analogy about how the Toe does the deed. The *result* of searing, however, is clear: you can now surf the paradox. Q: What are THE FIFTH WAY, THE FIFTH EYE, and THE CENTER BRAIN? A: They represent the Path, the Perspective, and the Center of the IROOT:NOTian, respectively. Here is a brief description of each. THE FIFTH WAY is like this: Science can prove that light is a wave: It's a fact. I believe. Science can prove that light is a particle: It's a fact. I believe. Both facts are mutually exclusive; therefore, both are false. It's a fact. I believe. I then move to the Fifth Way. Auguste Comte was a "father" of the social sciences. He believed that society and individuals pass through three stages of social evolution. The first is "Theological Thought" - God's Will moves everything. Second is "Metaphysical Thought" - abstract laws of nature are discovered. Third is "Positive Thought" - the scientific method. The Fifth Way assimilates and homogenizes all three of these stages. This homogenized mixture is the wax on IROOT:NOTian's surf boards. Over time, however, the wax ages and "ferments" and becomes a new, improved substance. (Not available in stores.) When your body absorbs the substance through its etheric skin, you transform. YOU BECOME THE FIFTH WAY. THE FIFTH EYE sets directly above the P-Zone Plane. It represents the Awareness that allows you to live a miraculous life. It transcends the mass hallucination. Fear is a major obstacle for using the Fifth Eye. Winston Churchill said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." The Fifth Eye sees this from a slightly different angle: "Fear not even fear." Even like this, though, you'll still experience fear. Fear can be useful at times. You're just not afraid of it, tough though it can be. Often, fear has its roots in the unknown. IROOT:NOTians, being Void Divers anyway, define fear as *just another experience*. Just because you're clueless doesn't mean that you have to be afraid. Another source of fear is your assumptions. Often, you guess wrong. The situation doesn't turn out as badly as you thought it would. Other times, you guess right. You move through these situations, calm and aware. Most people see with their human eyes only. They use a variety of Psycho-Seeking Filters when checking out the world. These filters narrow and define the possibilities of relationship. For example, the Sexual Filter scans for possible sexual mates. It filters out those of undesirable age, appearance, social status, body type, gender, and more. The Sales Filter scans for customers. You can use Filters like the Security, Victim, and Acceptance, plus many others. "When a person uses the Pickpocket Filter and sees a saint, all he sees are pockets." THE CENTER BRAIN processes the Vision of the Fifth Eye. MORPHs (Master Of Root:notian Paradoxical Harmonics) are those whose Center Brain is at one with their Toe. They experience their unique perspective of life from the center of the eternally blooming Cosmic Lotus. The new species of humanity - Homo miraculus - will embody each of these three aspects, 100%. Q: You say that IROOT:NOT is "the World's Most Fun [and challenging] 'ology.'" How is it challenging? A: As your consciousness spirals upwards, you face the challenge of surfing new waves of paradox. This process is eternal, so the challenge will always be there. Once you've mastered Surfing the Earth Plane, life becomes VERY interesting. Q: As you spiral upwards, what happens if you move to a position of power? Isn't power a trap? A: Power is a trap only when you believe it is more real than your relationships. Q: Does IROOT:NOTics really work? A: IROOT:NOTics works for IROOT:NOTians. For others, its usefulness will vary. Q: Why do you call IROOT:NOT "quasi-esoteric?" A: When you gain esoteric information, you think that you know something secret, and now you're "special." Well, maybe you do, and maybe you are. But why become conceited? You can become so smart that you lose touch. "Quasi-esoteric" information keeps your ego in check. It keeps you from becoming arrogant. Here are examples of IROOT:NOT quasi-esotericism. (1) The name IROOT:NOT is symbolic. It means that you don't have roots in any particular belief system - including IROOT:NOTology. (I-ROOT-NOT - get it?) True Believers need their roots lodged in a solid belief system, because they're insecure without one. Yet, "solid belief system" is an oxymoron. IROOT:NOTians, however, are Void Divers. Like the surrendered Fool, they leap - sometimes reluctantly - from one probability to the next. They explore, then leap again. (Actually, their Toe lovingly nudges them off the cliff.) Stable change fulfills them. (2) A secret: Void Divers *fall upwards*. (3) For IROOT:NOTians, the universe is unknowable and ever changing, yet somewhat knowable and somewhat unchanging. (4) Here's a secret method that enables you to peek over the veils of the quasi-esoteric universe. Everyone wants to believe in something. Perhaps it's a human need. In many ways, you can find comfort in deceiving yourself. Rationalizing comes easily. One day, as you take more notice, you'll redefine what's in your head. What was once "reality" becomes "ideas." True esoteric knowledge is like this: You can yell it in the streets, but few will hear (including those who know everything). Q: How can you be happy when your belief system isn't rooted in anything? A: First, IROOT:NOTians have a tendency to be happy *without any reason to be so*. Second, IROOT:NOTology is a disbelief system rooted in something. That "something," however, is indefinable. (So why bother?) Some post-ancient cultures knew about this mysterious "something." One example is the Hagglerites who inhabited the Greater Dyzcount Valley region. They wrote: ". . . And the [demi-gods] called the Un-nameable [IT(s)] 'M.O.V.U.S. Q.U.O.F.E.' on the Third Day. On the Tenth Day, [the Oracle] wagged her tongue, sending the [Holy Name] to the Four Corners. The meaning, though, became more clear with each receding echo [of the Name] as it [bounced] off the Four Walls. After the wind had [taken apart] the sound and only silence remained, the prophets then understood ITs most true meaning within the stillness of the Void [as it] caressed their ears. Yet, their smiles were not of [ultimate] understanding, but of content, knowing that the [Secret] was . . ." (Unfortunately, moths ate the remainder of this scroll in the late 12th Century.) Q: What are the Miraculodynamic Principles? A: The Miraculodynamic Principles are useful. The First Miraculodynamic Axiom: "There is nowhere to go and nothing to do, but we go there and do it anyway." The Second Miraculodynamic Axiom: "Happiness and kindness are more important than beliefs." The Third Miraculodynamic Axiom: "When you die, you stop hallucinating and remember that you are the One - or you don't." The Fourth Miraculodynamic Axiom: "Life is a gift. Enjoy and be kind as much as you can in every moment." Q: Is IROOT:NOTology consistent? A: IROOT:NOTology is consistent in its inconsistencies, in its dedication to humanity's evolution, and in its focus on living a miraculous life. Traditional consistency exists in properly prepared gravies, but not in living a miraculous life (except when it does). The more you demand consistency, the more you empower that P-Zone. It's a trap designed to squash your enjoyment! Beat and defeat redundancy! Live a miraculous life! Q: Can you say the same about inconsistency? A: No, you won't find inconsistencies in properly prepared gravies. Q: Is there an order to IROOT:NOT? A: Yes, in the name: "The International Royal ORDER. . . ." However, unlike True Believerism, the order is very loose. You move fluidly into higher patterns, becoming more efficient at living a miraculous life. The Nez Master, Jofreklan, comments: "The morning sun transforms the dew. I move quietly within myself. Who once was is not." Q: People say that they change after they receive their IROOT:NOT Membership Card. How is this possible, just by having a card? A: Once you receive your Card, it's a matter of putting it on your forehead. Q: Is there any proof of that? A: The proof is in the putting. Q: What about IROOT:NOT Courses and Titles? A: Titles open windows of transpsychic opportunity and enhance fruition. For instance, having the Title of "Nez Master" puts you in line - aims you in the direction - of the Nez Master within. Like a magnifying glass, it focuses on and enlarges an area of consciousness. Having the Title itself, however, doesn't make you a total Nez Master. For example, in karate, you start as a "white belt." You work through, say, seven more belts, until you've earned a "black belt." To become a "black belt" Nez Master, you must work through 777 "belts." However, you can only make it to the 776th belt in this life. You receive the 777th belt when you leave your body. Courses nudge you through luminous doors. For instance, the "Doctor of IROOT:NOTics" Course instructs you how to use information from the future. You can save time and resources by seeing the result of a project *without having to go through the process*. Incredibly, you can *have the experience without having to do it*! As a bonus, you can write the title "D.I." after your name. Q: How about IROOT:NOT gifts and accessories, like "Fear Removal Powder"? A: Alchemy is like that. To the uninitiated, all offerings look similar. Actually, some paths are (apparently) dead ends. Others are littered with dead herrings (that rise and sing after you've walked by them). Some hold keys. Q: Is IROOT:NOT for everyone? A: No, it's not for beginners (unless you're ready). You must have roots before you can I-ROOT-NOT. Additionally, "newbies" are usually very serious in their search for the Truth. IROOT:NOTics can appear too lightweight for them. It's not for True Believers either, except those IROOT:NOTians still exploring the internal structure of certain P-Zones. True Believers need the tension of P-Zones to feel as if they're doing something important. IROOT:NOTians prefer to Surf the Earth Plane. Q: How do IROOT:NOTians relate to non-IROOT:NOTians? A: However they please. . . . Also, their Center Brain remembers "the One Universal." Q: What is the One Universal? A: The One Universal is when you look at someone and think, "She is alive. One day, she will die." Q: What happens after you die? A: It doesn't matter. Q: Is everything a miracle? A: Creation is the only miracle. Everything else is either science, trans-temporal alchemy (metascience), or imagination. Q: How can you live a miraculous life? A: One way is to love, serve, nurture, and be grateful for everything in your life. Love your job, love your partner, love your family, and love your home. When you love something, you bring out its best. Forgive your enemies. Enjoy the textures of your life. Appreciate little events. Love your pillow, bed, tooth brush, food, memories, dreams, hair, creed, country, gender, race, species, planet, God, astrological sign, shortcomings - everything. If you don't love it, *replace it*. You don't need to replace irreplaceable items, like your astrological sign. In these cases, it's *your perspective that needs adjusting*. Don't downplay or deny your senses - those delicate lenses that let you experience life. Don't morally stamp the "flesh" with derogatory labels like "lower," or "sinful." Sensual experience makes up most of your life! You can't think, imagine, dream, or believe in almost *anything* that doesn't correlate to an image or texture that the senses have recorded. (The Toe is a notable exception.) This includes abstracts and invisibles, such as mathematics, astral phenomena, and Visions of God. Appreciate your Board. Here's another technique for moving deeper into a miraculous life. Use it every day. Ask, "How does this experience contribute to living a miraculous life?" If it contributes, then accent the experience. If not, then ignore it. Also, delight in your consciousness. Experiment with the Miraculodynamic Axioms. "If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious as work." William Shakespeare Q: What if I experience something that doesn't contribute to living a miraculous life, but ignoring it doesn't contribute, either? A: Consult your Toe. Q: What is my Toe? A: Your Toe is your personal, unknowable aspect. Q: How do I ask my Toe something? A: You say, "Toe, I want to ask you something." Then, you ask. Q: What happens if I follow my Toe? A: You are in the hands of your Toe. Q: Why should I love my shortcomings? A: Many fight their shortcomings. They fight themselves. They fight anyone who they imagine embodies the enemy P-Zone. "Holistic" means whole. Next time, watch yourself putting on your (psychological) fighting gear. Love is awareness. Your awareness is a prism of Light. Light transforms whatever it touches. Q: All of this is pretty radical. A: IROOT:NOTics *is* radical. Living a miraculous life *is* radical. Creation *is* radical. And the Two Universal says that *you are one with creation*. Q: You've mentioned the One Universal and Two Universal. How many Universals are there? A: There is only ONE. The "One," "Two," "Three," etc., Universals are subsets of THE ONE UNIVERSAL. Q: What is THE ONE UNIVERSAL? A: THE ONE UNIVERSAL is anything. Q: What if my friends think I'm weird for being an IROOT:NOTian? A: First, IROOT:NOT isn't about what other people think. If they don't support your desire to live a miraculous life, then maybe it's time to find new friends! Besides, look at THEIR beliefs. They're at least as weird as yours. The only difference is that their hallucination is more popular than yours. (If theirs was less popular, they'd probably leave you alone.) If they understood that everyone is hallucinating, they'd be more accepting and compassionate, or at least more tolerant. Sometimes, humans enjoy keeping each other down. When someone tries to insult you because of your belief, you can say, "You don't approve of my lifestyle? Thanks for your opinion. In my mind, though, I'm doing something positive." Second, on a more grand scale, you want to help humanity evolve. In this project, it's not about your friends. It's not even about you. It's about the Big Whatever. BE POSITIVELY PROUD TO BE AN IROOT:NOTian! Say it loud! This automatically puts you in the direction of living a miraculous life. As a bonus, Card carrying members can treat themselves (and others) to this: Over time, you become a *living transmitter of Miraculous Life Energy*. Please note, however, that you can't control this energy. You can't consciously send (or sell) it to others or deny it to them. This safeguard prevents misuse and misdirection by the ego, good intentioned though it might be. (You can assimilate personal power techniques from other "ologies" if that interests you.) Q: What is "Miraculous Life Energy"? A: Miraculous Life Energy is composed of "ziggle beams." Like light, Z-Beams have the properties of both wave and particle. It differs from light because it has the added ingredient of Void Rays. (Void Rays negatively charged anti-unti particles that originate from beyond our universe. Their attractive effect is the same as a perfect vacuum.) Z-Beams are as elusive (though more real) than the mythical "gravity waves" of 20th century science. Miraculous Life Energy is saturated with Intent. It flows from a specific evolutionary Vector. When you radiate Miraculous Life Energy, the heavy protective walls that keep you from feeling alive begin to fall away. You don't need to lug those shields around anymore. Less burden is good! With Miraculous Life Energy steadily streaming through your systems, you can expect surprises. Use your link with Intent to shape the form of these surprises. Here's a template that works: "Send me __________ surprises." Fill in the blank with whatever adjectives you desire, like "joyous," "exciting," "evolutionarily elevating," "financially rewarding," or any combination. (The Course "Illusion Management" teaches *Mayketso*, a method to invoke and use Intent easily and effectively. Intent gives shape and direction to Truth.) Miraculous Life Energy also supports a new way to age. Instead of becoming older on each birthday, become lighter. Make it so. Only now is this welcomed energy welling up as a possibility in the human imagination, but it's still not available in stores. Q: Why does IROOT:NOTology offer these benefits? A: All "ologies" offer benefits. Many systems promise salvation, some offer freedom, others entice with enlightenment. Ask, "What do I want from an 'ology'?" Q: How can a "closet IROOT:NOTian" become an Activated Card carrying member? A: It's easy! Send your request and $1 to the address below. (Be sure to include $15 s&h.) Do it now, or do it later. (But if the world ends, it's too late.) When your Card arrives, place it on your forehead. Also, you can order a FREE bound copy of "The Complete Transcriptions of IROOT:NOTology" (a work-in-progress). Please include $5 s&h with your request. IROOT:NOT classes are held weekly in Hollywood, Florida. Call for times and directions. Q: What if I don't believe in all of this? A: Then you might be an IROOT:NOTian. A Miraculous Life to All!
