Jesus the Christ spoke about a world ruled by love. A new Earth, where everyone inhabitant worked in service of one another… as a brother, sister, friend and loved one under one Father. The Grand Original Design.
Imagine, a world where life-giving technologies weren’t supressed. A world where everyone local worked in service of every other locally to make sure that provisions were met. A world of celebration, dance, music and healing. A world that encouraged great ideas and facilitated talent in order to create the best innovation for everyone. A world that fed the hungry, rather than make them “pay” for basic essentials. A place where it was impossible for banks to manipulate the energy of people so that they could profit and rule while the people slaved to pay back non-existent debt. A world of wonder….
Just like when you were a child. You were full of wonder and possibility.
Ram Dass wrote, “the world is filled with hungry bellies and store-houses of food”.
The only separation is our will.
What a revolutionary idea: live and work in service of one another instead of our self and a illusionary debt.

Our natural state is joy. Anything less is an indication of resistance to love.
This post is about the ‘Love’ in love, art & fear. Sometimes it is easier to write about what love is not rather that what love is. I’m human and get caught up in romance, fantasy and delusion. In this place I’m not myself. I’m insecure because I’m forgetting the most important thing on Earth…
I AM LOVE.
Love is not something I do, it is what I fundamentally identify myself with and from this outflows my entire life. Infinite Love is our true foundational identity. If we are experiencing anything less, it is because we are falsely identifying with something less than that truth. ”I’m only human” is a bullshit excuse. You are love. Simple. If you do something stupid or act in a nasty way, it is because you have forgotten that you are love.
Fear cannot stand in the place of love.
At our very core is the truth of who we are. This is pure love and joy. The challenge is in getting past the pain that has encrusted over that love through experience (disappointment and despair). Most people stop at the pain layer and live a life of quiet misery. Don’t do that. You are worth so much more.
Break through the pain layer.
Overcome.
Be the love that you are.

The body is a temple.
The body is a prison.
This is a huge paradox.
It can express joy or happiness. It can also feel pain and turmoil. Pleasure can be a trap. Pain can be a snare. Both pleasure and pain have the potential to free the consciousness that drives the vehicle to the degree that the consciousness is willing to let go. There are many writings on this throughout history so I’m not necessarily going to add some groundbreaking insight here. All I can do is report my experience.
Temple or prison? The body is a temple. The moment that we desire to escape it, it becomes a prison. ”We” or “I”, that which drives the vehicle chooses one or the other. A lot of beings on Earth identify with the body and worldly choices. I am a body. I am a doctor. I am a drummer. I am these emotions.
I am.
Here in the ‘amness’, we get to choose. We cannot avoid pain all of the time. That is not our choice necessarily because, as the saying goes: Shit happens. We can however choose our response to events, phenomena and the ever so technical ‘shit happening’. We can choose our perception. There is a reason that God didn’t give us pleasure buttons and that’s because we’d become catatonic button pushers.
It is a scientific fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Matter can be created and destroyed, built or broken. Our body is matter. Fact. That which resides in the body is not. One way that I could see a body as a vehicle for freedom is if the consciousness residing in it could make the body dissolve and re appear at will. Who has time these days to figure that shit out?
In the meantime, this vehicle we call a body is decaying and heading toward the inevitable. Fearing that fact is useless. All the herbs, remedies and strict lifestyle choices in the world will not prevent the inevitable. Just ask Steve Jobs. Yet, I type this on a Mac computer.
Acceptance is everything.
At times, I admit that my body feels like a prison but that is because I remember where I came from and know what this material world is. Most times, I awake with and honor this temple that I am currently occupying. I get to type words with it and move it about. How cool is that? One day my body and I will part ways but I will go on. Then I will be free.
The best prison would be temples because they’re enticing and the trick of slavery is to not let them know that they are slaves.
Yes the body is a temple and a prison. It is bound by time…
I am not.

Sometimes I feel like the unfortunate meat crammed between the bread of my past and the bread of my future.
I know this is not true because in the moment I am delicious and my future is brilliant. Yet, my former limiting identity nips at my heals attempting to rob me of my peace.
Being in the moment is easy when we are sitting by a lake contemplating. The real challenge is in showing up on time, working and planning around others while being present.
It would be appropriate to call most of us ‘human beens’ or ‘human doings’ because that is where our consciousness tends to reside.
Many of us define ourselves by what has already happened or what we have accomplished (or failed to do). I imagine that there would be absolutely zero people walking on Earth if babies took this approach. They’d fall and say “ah, fuck it. I tried and I can’t. Oh well. Crawling it is”.
I’m not writing this as someone who has given up on life. I writing this as someone who is doing his best to listen to God and moving forward. I’m writing this as someone who has tried and tried and given up and gotten back up and tried and tried again. My past keeps whispering in my ear “look!! you cannot do it. Give up. What a ridiculous pursuit”. At times, this gets to me, I admit.
Love consistently encourages us to get up and keep going forward despite the fails and the falls. This is what I remember: I am grounded in love. Not hope. Not the past. Not fear.
LOVE. NOW.
We will make it home!

If you ask people to come up with 3 shapes, they will almost always say circle, square & triangle.
What is interesting is when we correlate this numerically. The proper sequence of counting progresses with 1, 2 and 3. That is obvious. But what isn’t obvious is why this translates to 1, 3 and 4 with shapes.
Why do we skip number 2?
We tend to scroll over the shape that is the most closely connected to our bodies. It is called the vesica piscis:
We find this shape by over-lapping two circles at each of their center points. One plus one equals two. While it makes sense that we as humans would say 1, 2, 3 circle (1) vesica (2) triangle (3) we do not. We say 1, 3, 4 when it comes to shape. Where is the missing piece?
My friend Robert Pasternak pointed this out in a gallery he did years ago. Still, to this day go out and ask as many people as you can to tell you three shapes. Some may try to be clever by saying ‘hexagon, circle and triangle’ but most will say the square.
If you do find someone who says circle, vesica and triangle then take them out for coffee. They will at least be interesting to talk to.

Often I hear people say “live like there is no tomorrow”. I get the sentiment, but I don’t feel that this is a responsible thing to do as this is short term thinking at its best. Every time that I have followed the no tomorrow philosophy, I wake up the next day with consequences on my hands.
I do suggest living each day like it is your last but from a place of love, not urgency. There are simple things that I do each day like listening to the person in front of me, giving the people that I love too many hugs, laughing at myself and perhaps learning something new. These are actions that I can do that will not leave me wishing I had died later that day.
I’d like to propose a different perspective. This perspective when combine with the no tomorrow perspective from a place of love could change the world. At least, I think so.
Imagine that you will live for another 1000 years and you know it. Tomorrow will absolutely come another 364, 999 times. How would you invest your time? What would you get involved with? What vision do you have for that future? Will you continue leaving the future in the hands of others? Would you take your time because “hey, who fucking cares? I’m going to be here for a while and am in no rush.” Would you continue to put up with gangs, wars, government or corporate lies/greed? Would you keep working a desk job that you hate? Would you take a year or two to really gain clarity on what you are to do with your life? You might even begin to believe that you are here for a purpose and that your life is truly meaningful.
Honestly ask yourself these questions from that perspective. At the same time, live each day as if you were going to die in your sleep that night and tell the people you love them that you love them. Stand up to those who need to be checked.
I can assure of two things if you think like this…
1. You will gain vision for the future and what makes sense for all life everywhere.
2. The love that you feel will increase as you share yourself with those around you.
Hmmm, maybe there is something to this idea of giving what you seek to receive after all.

Love is our Source.
I know our source to be infinite. We can draw from it over and over and over and over again and our source remains infinite. Good news for us. This is what I know as grace. It is as an infinite bank account that we freely give and receive from.
What this means is both simple and complex; Love is the source of both joy and pain. Joy, as in we are free to be, love, dance, work, make love, sing, smile, do nothing, do something or just simply enjoy all or any of it. Pain, as in fear; our attachment to any of it. Fear is a signal to act; whether perceived or real. Pain is also a signal.
Fear is not a source. Fear is like the shadow of light blocked by an attachment. If I stand with my back to the Sun I see a shadow cast in front of me. That is how I see fear. It is something blocking the source; an effect or result but not causal.
Love gives us fear as a gift in order to survive potentially dangerous situations. In case you hadn’t noticed, life is not all roses here. The trouble arises when our mind begins to dwell in the effect (fear) through our attachments and insecurity. It is a choice that we do not realize we are making. If we were fully aware, we would not make that choice. When fear arises I ask; what is my insecurity here? How have I come to believe that love has left the building and I must suffer? What is my attachment and why? What purpose has it served me and what would happen if I just let it go? Is it a signal from love or is it bullshit?
I have experienced life from both cause and effect and I can report that life is to be lived from the source; Love. Just so I’m not vague about this…
I’m not talking about a bio-chemical reaction in our brain. I’m not speaking about human emotion love (which is typically attachment/insecurity). I am pointing to a peace that is so perfect nothing can touch it. It is a still knowing that is so vast that it encompasses all things. It is presence in the moment. I’m acknowledging our natural state of being and suggesting that we function optimally in this state.
If this is a stretch for you then do your best to remember a moment where you felt perfectly still, at peace, with a slight smile on your face. Go back in memory and find a reference or many references and build on that. Maybe it was when you were five years old? The structure of our mind is associative and built by references. We can reprogram the mind by removing old references and implanting new ones. It is work but it is worthwhile and it is no secret.
This post is affirmation of my commitment to allow our source to flow through me unhindered or die trying.

When asked; why did God flood the Earth in Genesis? The typical answer I receive is that man’s actions were distasteful and that people were becoming seekers of self. This was occurring but there was something bigger than that going on. It is the correct answer that no one seems to want to address other than conspiracy theorists or new-agers.
The Nephilim are mentioned in the bible as the “sons of God” who saw that the daughters of men were fair – Genesis 6:4. What we typically don’t like to talk about is that the bible says that beings from outside of Earth came to Earth in order to mate with the ‘daughters of men’ and created a hybrid race. Numbers 13:33 in the bible later refers to ‘giants who inhabited the Earth’.
Why not acknowledge this?
How did we become so fearful of truth? If we are seekers of truth then we must be open to anything that might smash belief. Beliefs are made up of patterns of ideas woven together to protect us from the dreaded ‘not knowing’. It is easier to just believe and not have to account for truth. I still have beliefs that I’m letting go of.
My aim is truth and this has required a huge leap of faith. My beliefs have let me down many times because they are not really real. They are survival mechanisms and comfort zones. I challenge you to get beyond belief and see what’s really there. This has only affirmed my faith in a God that I cannot see.
Does it matter if we accept the fact that the Nephilim were beings from outside of our planet/from the stars? It should because the bible also says the end times will be ‘like the days of Noah’ and I suspect that we are going to see some crazy shit happen. A strict adherence to our precious beliefs will only increase our fear and irrationality. And fear and irrationality are the worst emotions to act from in times of crisis or change.
At very least I hope this post pokes your brain a bit:)

Energy can not be created or destroyed. This means that everything that ever was and ever will be…
Is.
I’ve been contemplating this for years and every time I pick it up, my mind stretches as my brain tightens. Some of us humans walk about believing that we are accidental bodies in a random universe. Our mind is on matter so to speak hence the term “what’s the matter”? Another side to this is that each of us are the center of an infinite universe. I’m ok with that ideology but it is not what I see. That seems like a narrow, ego-centric way of seeing the world.
An infinite universe would imply that the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere but I’m not sure that means I’m in charge or that I need to figure it all out. I also let go of these matters because matter is just dense energy and to me, that means trapped energy.
It makes more sense that everything ‘appears’ or ’tends’ to be. This is more accurate than “this is what I feel or think” or “that’s just the way it is”. This phenomena we call ’life’ is an arising. There are many differing groups (scientific and religious) that have become so dogmatic that there is no talking to them whatsoever. I use science and religion loosely because these groups are political… they have an agenda.
I’ll clarify. Science is our birthright tendency to explore this phenomena we called the universe. We must be open and curious in order to expand our awareness. If the entire “UNI VERSE” is one phenomena arising as a tendency and we are that arising then it follow suit that the purpose of religion is to re-legion; rejoin or re-yolk us to the original form and function. Otherwise, it’s just more bullshit ideology that perpetuates our illusion of separateness.
It is easier to believe than it is to understand, and whatever put us here gave us all the tools to understand.
Much like a loving observing parent allows us to be ourselves. We are given all of the tools. Some of us attempt to control reality through knowledge and power. Some of us argue about whose dad is stronger and better. Some of us smile with the subtle knowing that we are loved and are love.
Regardless, everything is ONE thing. I cannot understand for the life of me how we became so easily fooled into believing that we must fight for survival, rebel and do it on our own. It is like an illness or worse… species adolescence.
Whatever your ideas or beliefs are, I suggest that you take the day or a moment to contemplate how absolutely fucking incredible it is that any of this even exists in the first place.
I end with the beginning:
Energy can not be created or destroyed. This means that everything that ever was and ever will be…
Is.

My last name is Scholl. The original German meaning for this is “one who is indebted to another”. At first, I thought this was a terrible meaning but then an associate of mine pointed out that it was a matter of perspective.
“Who are you indebted to?” she asked.
God? The Creator? Your community? The people whom you love? The electromagnetic phenomena that arises to hold reality as we know it together? The doctors who saved you? Your boss? The Government? Banks? Your self?
I suppose she was right. Who am I working for? In what am I in service to? These could be painful questions to ask ourselves but so what? What are we here for? I do not believe for a second that we are here to live a selfish, comfortable life free from pain and strife. This is where we fall. Life will kick our ass.
I called this ‘debt too’ because of my previous post about the debt crisis. Really, the crisis is all in our mind. The positive and negative balance. They have to, otherwise reality would collapse. Oddly enough, this is mirrored in accounting. The debits and credits, positive and negative MUST balance. In the case of banks; the bank holds the positive that you order into existence and then enter the negative amount into a computer via accounts. Nothing is owed because it balances. This is one of the most challenging concepts to get your head around in banking by the way. It is so simple and when you see it you might burst out laughing like I did. Honestly, my first thought was “why didn’t I think of THAT scam?”. Brilliant.
But this post is not about banks or debt. This post is about indebtedness with a positive spin. Everyday, when I wake up I can choose to serve love or fear. I can ask myself whom or what I am grateful for. That gratefulness will tell me exactly whom or what I am indebted to.
This is what I shall serve and work for.
