QuikNote via Pages...
Hello Gerardus...
I appreciate your effort in sharing your thoughts. Like you said, these are your opinions and no human can tell anyone else what the Truth is. But fortunately for me, your written thoughts do not contradict my belief system. Fortunate for me I can rest more peacefully as I have found a clear reflection that doesn't disappoint my conscience. Of course we find hints of the truth everywhere, but are easily confounded by ego interpretation. Your writings have little conflict. Thank you, I will continue to read, reread your work to help clarify some of my own inconsistent thought processes.

There is nothing more to know...
Hello Gerardus...
Jediah here commenting on what Gerardus wrote: I agree...there is nothing more to KNOW....I found a quote of Edgar Cayce's that is my favorite: "When every thing is trusted, there is no thing left to understand".....I personally separated the two words for impact: every thing & no thing as I have spent heaps of time with NLP and believe most of us "skip read" such words without any focus on the intended meaning...Yes, I am a writer and enjoy your thoughts....They often match mine..Aloha,

Leonard about Cookie #507...
Hi Gerardus......that is a cracking cookie you just posted here on TriLite.....there have been some real beauties in my daily inbox
recently....but I resist reposting them on TriLite. Might it be a good idea to institute a regular weekly Cookie on TriLite? Say a Friday Cookie?....such wonderful Truths. With Love,

I like your poems the best...
Hi Gerardus,
You capture the objective mind and the open heart. I never tire of the exercise to bring the two together. I wish you lived next door so we could communicate more. Hopefully I'll complete my next Little Golden Primer which is going to be on Sacred Relationships, and I'll ask if I can use this poem to be included in it. Poem: By Love that's Free.
How are you? Has spring arrived there? Denver had a snowstorm last Sunday. I had gone to Grand Junction to see clients for the weekend, so missed most of the mess. I've been writing short stories for children (and adults who are awakening in their hearts). Of course, they are a metaphor of my process. The healing goes on. Hope things are well -- Blessings,

We will stand together smiling...
Hello Gerard...
With sincere condolences I have written a little poem in honor of your son.
Your son in this poem is reflecting on his life just past...
Response from Gerard:
Dear Gerardus,
We, my wife and I, were touched by the poem you wrote. I translated it into Dutch as well as I could. The poem reflects our thoughts and feelings. I sometimes wonder why these sad things are necessary and I am again reminded by your slogan: "We are not here to save the world etc..... which you say in the poem: "we will stand together smiling about our sadness that made us grow in awareness". That's what it is all about. A heartfelt thank you for your condolences and the beautiful poem...
Gerard
Here is the Poem:
Dear Family...
In Silence I stand
Wondering about the Living
Who are wondering about me
Amidst Questions and Sadness
While I am busily weaving
A Graceful Unbroken Whole
Of all the things unsaid
And the Pieces I left behind.
At Times I was not listening
And often I was not trying
But now I know that in the end
That will arrive in Time
We will all stand together
Smiling about the Sadness
That made us grow and gain
In Awareness and Understanding
Which is Love...

Boy oh boy...
It has been a long time, sir! Was I Gawain or Sun Dog... was it ascension on irc or conversations with God list.... or was it another list? Something on Spiritweb I believe.... Anyway, saw your name and website on a links page from a Children of the Law of One website and had to say hi.

This Dream Called Life...
Gerardus here:
This is what I wrote to the TriLite List:
In the past we have spoken about Life being a Dream. I feel that this is so INDEED! We all slowly learn to create our own Dream or Life and the more we dream or live - the better we become at creating or dreaming...
Well, if this is indeed so - there is no need to awaken as long as we are capable of making our Dream a pleasant one. Why stop dreaming if it's enjoyable? Comments anyone?
- - Gerardus
Hi Gerardus....
This is the Greatest TRUTH you ever stated... IMO! With Love, Leonard

Today's Cookie...
Hi Gee ~ it's Teresa..all my friends just call me T....todays cookie is fabulous...I was just thinking on that last night...I live in Charlotte NC which is right in the center of the bible belt. It's a tough area because people use a lot of guilt trips to try and get you involved in religion. I have found that anything they don't understand they deem as evil or satanic...and that really traps them and keeps them from ever thinking higher about God.
I have another friend Gary Arvidson and he and I have a lot of conversations about higher consciousness..I passed some of your writings on to him and he has enjoyed them as much as me...and commented to me that "it was great information"...
Well hope you have a great weekend..and keep those Cookies coming...they really give me something to focus my mind on for the day and think about..and today was quite a synchronistic one since I had the opportunity to be in a very religious group last evening....blessings T

Hello Gerardus...
Have been a reader/fan for a long while. Sorry to read about Elizabeth Ellen, I know how you must feel. I will send some healing energy and hope that if its meant to be, that you two will unite again. I didn't know that you started to write with Rene Mueller? I used to read his website all the time and was disappointed when he quit publishing.
Thank you for all your work and dedication. You certainly have accumulated a universe of information and arranged it into one convenient location. I have spent many hours on your website digesting information and I look forward to my Daily Cosmic Cookie. Thanks again and best regards...

I read your very interesting article...
Thank you Gerardus - I went to your website and read your very interesting article. It is wonderful. Bears thinking about and re-reading to absorb it. I like the laughter you talk about. What a concept laughter is. My favorite along those lines is the delightful Annette Goodheart, author of "Laughter", who told me that she taught her first course at UCSB entitled Laughter, and it was so popular that she taught a second course called Advanced Laughter! I have indeed read the Holographic U, many years ago. I loved it.

Celebration of Spirit...
Sharon' Poem was on an email list.
Celebration of Spirit
the body is a ship
that sails the currents of inner and outer waters,
touching the breath of worlds beyond memory
amassing treasures hidden in the cave of solomon,
sealing eternity with the stamp of immortality
to open on the day of remembrance
Gerardus continues the Poem
To never forget for all dreams are real
functional or dysfunctional,
it makes no difference
for all are but the scenery,
projected upon the minds of souls
in order to awaken to The Infinite Light they are.
Sharon here: Gerardus,
Thanks for the beautiful continuation of my thoughts... proof positive that we are one!
Good to hear from you.
Blessings, Wdestiny44@aol.com Sharon 444 Fri, 2 Dec 2005

Good morning Gee.
I like your Cookies so much. They nurture that part of me that thrives best when ego is absent -- and 'it' can be a tough foe at times.

Hi Gerardus,
Thank you for this one! In our wisdom school we are studying this very thing, and actually acting it out as hive consciousness! How are you? Life has been a bit weighty for me, but it is a process of clearing the mind, which I am getting the hang of more and more. Have a great New Year. I enjoy your wisdoms -- especially your poems -- and pass them on frequently. Love, Phyllis

Post To TriLite...
Gerardus' Post to TriLite:
The world is nothing but lies anywhichway we look at it. The weird truth is that all lies are necessary in order to awaken human souls. This means that all things are exactly as they should be! Including all that snoring... Is there ANYBODY awake out there?
Gerardus
Hello Gerardus,
Just to tell you that I read your mail and agree with it. I don't know if I am still snoring or a little bit awake. I especially liked your last comprehension of the words of John Wheeler. So you see that, though you don't get much response these days, your wise words are still appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and awareness with everyone...
Gerardus,
I love your cosmic cookies and find the conscious awareness behind them enlightening, although in this one, I think that there is nowhere that God is not. So time, space, or angle would not be an issue, only to us it seems to be an issue, possibly because we tend to think linear. That is my thought on that, what do you think?

It is beautiful....
Cosmic Cookie
We must sing the song of creation consciously.
For with conscious human participation
the level of creation on earth will advance
to unprecedented levels.
The beauty of the earth is just beginning
and it's completion is beyond our wildest dreams.
Gone are the Days of Domination
vanished are the Times of Conditioning
for Mankind has awakened to its Royalty.
The Light in Humanity
is growing brighter by the Day
and the many Masters of Creation
are pleased by the Glow of our Brilliance.
NEVER AGAIN WILL WE DESCEND SO DEEPLY INTO OUR DREAMS
Hi Gerardus et all!
I just wanted to comment on this cookie. It is beautiful. It gave me a "buzz" of excitement and hope and belief and encouragement. While I was in the midst of experiencing these nice feelings/thoughts some little program kicked in and said " you are being naive "pie in the sky" fanciful" in short, deluding myself. This program, implanted by my father I suspect, has kicked in many times before but it is not mine, nor is it me. So years ago I implanted my own counter program which overrides the critical one and reverts to my first feelings/thoughts of hope and belief. I am able to do this because I believe that regardless of what parents siblings friends or critics of any nature say, if we believe in something and it happens to be "going with the flow" of creation and our own *best* interests (or even not) then literally anything can be made to happen. So take heart everyone I say, and continue to spread the word of hope and encouragement to your friends and family etc. for if we all embrace it, a new day will dawn, I am sure of it, all it takes is belief. Someone once said that the only reason that the sun rises everyday is because the vast majority of the population of the world "expect" it to, so it does. Thanks again G.
