. Enjoy.
Kellog_bluff : so ya all showed up ta hear me bleet and whine about Balance, eh? So let's do this...
Good evening, gallery - and welcome to the session on "Balance and the 4-inch Beam" - brought to you tonite by Mr. Baso and the GDO Cafe.
hooplight�?: i am ready and willing to begin
lighthart1 plops in the poofy chair and prepares to behave
Kellog_bluff : as Baso-baby says "if that's espresso, I' m a goat - and your a stool."
lighthart1 has cupaccino at the ready
Kellog_bluff : This evening's session is about "Balance: 4 inches 4 you - 4 yards 4 me." This isn't a favorite topic. This isn't even an easy topic. Because what we are about to share --- isn't news; But it is fantastic never the less. So we do so - with gloves on - and we shall understand if you need to bow out --- or burp - or yell "fuck you" a million times.
Previous sessions on Balance talked about basics; nothing that folks in search of their Shadow would not have heard before. But a funny thing about this Biz --- is that stuff that ya Should Grasp - and don't...is usually cuz it don't taste good enuf ta chew; and most of us - or should I say YOU ----- like ta chew the sweet stuff. So we always give the students and the wanna-be's and the gallery --- something sweet and tasty ta keep them interested.
Well…not tonite, ladies and gentlemen. Past sessions on Balance should have allowed you to Draw many conclusions - (and concussions.) You should have been able to see the value in a Creed...and in understanding that Chomping all ya can about Psychic shykick ain't all that great ...when all ya get is a stomach ache and a bad rhyme, and some funny ideas about what I'm about --- and ya may have ended up saying, "why bother anyway?"
I'll tell ya. Ya missed the Clews - in plain sight. You've heard before --- Balance is Performance. But I have never gotten a single question on Just what the shit that really means. I have said to read the "book of 5 rings"…and none gets past chapter 1. This is to be expected. Most everyone gets this problem. Everyone. The difference is that folks use different Paths, so the difficulty is not easily comparable, except by those who Travel and need to be aware of these differences.
There are many many Paths....to Home. This is not news - should not be news - to you. But what you may Not be doing --- is basing your everyday Performance on that realization. What I teach - and share --- is based on my Path. That experience can be cross-platformed - to any other Path. What is needed in teaching is the person sharing the data - to have an understanding of Both Paths being discussed. Luckily for you --- I usually do.
I'm an old fart; done a lot; and as "the Classic of the Mauve Palace" states, I am no saint. Which means you're in luck.
J I been where you may not want to go - and I came back with news for you to share - and Draw from --- so that your Focus on that realm can be fleeting, if at all. But hell --- be my guest - go out and be a Demon. So. Why 4 inches 4 you - and 4 yards 4 me? Simply due to the attention paid to performance. There is nothing major that will hold you back from experiencing the Same data I have --- except your limitations at addressing new and fantastic ideas and scenes. I've said many times "ya need to Stretch." This is what i referred to. You will be measured by the extent you can stretch your limitations. The Almighty One measuring you --- will be you.
There are two aspects to Balance, as applied to Performance; these aspects differentiate we/us - who have 4 yds, from you/those - who struggle with 4 inches. Two aspects: 1) timing, 2) placement. If this seems like a martial arts class...good guess; it is. "Balance" is one of those words used almost universally to describe a physical condition. It also describes an etheric condition and a spiritual one. So, ya say --- quit bombasticating - get to the point - right? Right.
There is always a place for timing - and a time for placement, in performance. What determines whether you have the 4 inches --- or yards --- is your timing in what you do, based on what you learn. Do you Really apply all those wonderful spiritual ideas someone shared with you last nite? Or did you get roll off to sleep - and wake up - and continue on your way ...the next day? That is what alot of you do.
You are exposed to many strange and wonderful things in this wurld --- certainly enuf to give you Clews as to what/how to Act in life. But either because you don't like the taste of the data (not sweet enuf) - or you're too lazy --- or it isn't comfortable to Act upon the data you received - or whatever you rationalize; you don't Perform. You dont incorporate the new data into your protocol, and hence, you remain at 4 inches.
The 4 inches represents your applied limitations in the wurld - and your ability to Stretch. Timing - reflects whether you Act on what you received, at the appropriate moment that makes it useful to you. Only you can decide this - but others can View that moment, and can Discern if you miss it.
Those folks are usually called "Teachers"; sometimes they are called Assholes.
J They tend to use the Emotions to disturb your thought processes. They know this is the most effective way to disturb your comfort zone, and allow the opportunity to Stretch. Stretching is not always comfortable --- but it is always necessary. So - (1) --- timing, is applied to things you have experienced - and whether you are intuitive enuf to apply it. Timing - implies risk; risk of failure, risk of being 'wrong", risk of pain. In risk - there is opportunity. And opportunity for new and fantastic data - is what you should seek - in order to stretch your spirit.
There is Timing in all material paths; there is Timing in all religious paths; there is Timing in battle - and the Light Path - and the Left Handed Path; there is Timing in every-day Mundane things.
And there is Timing in the Void.
As you begin to grasp the value of Timing as applied to your Path ---Whatever Path you have chosen...you will advance your spirit, and your material progress will get - simpler; this is because you will apply your strategy to all situations, and make them easier to survive - (move thru.) The idea is to survive this Wurld --- move thru it as a participant - otherwise go inhabit a monastery
J It's a much easier lifestyle. Every-day warriors got it very tough. Only recently has man been able to use recreational time to contemplate spirit. (2) placement. Once you allow for all those fun and crazy things you're learning --- the idea is ---- how in the Sam hell do you Use it in everyday life? You base this performance on your Path. If you are a Merchant --- you use timing and placement of actions - based on ideas ---- in everything you do. Every day. In your mundane activities with your customers - you display ethics in All your actions. You take responsibility for what you do - and what you say - and what you think; you sell things as a fair price; you cheat no one.
You "Represent" what your convictions are - based on your protocol. Notice this is non-denominational. It should be this way. There is no single denomination that is "better" than all others. If you dont have that clew --- you'll need to Travel to the mental plane and commune with some energy there --- or you'll need to die a few times to learn it yourself --- or you can simply listen to me, here and now. Your choice. It matters not - to me; cuz you will get the data - sooner or later. Despite me, despite you. And I think that's cool.
Placement of actions in your everyday life is so simple as to almost be ridiculous to state. Except when I look around --- and see that most don't Remember this --- and I remember - that until recently I didn't either; and then I Remember --- that I REMEMBER. And so i share it with you - so you can too.
Ice cream doesn't taste the same any more, though --- just a "traveler's advisory"
J And some days I don't care where the buildings are. (if ya dont recognize these references - do your reading on SLC J Every day --- I get 4 yards outta the Beam. It took some hard work; many yrs. Some folks dont haveta work that hard. They employ simple Paths that don't attempt much more than simple clean ethics with their fellow man, and i applaud them for that effort. That effort - even if silly and old-fashioned in your eyes...will prepare them for the new and fantastic things they will experience in the Next Realm.
That path - - will build a basic Balance for them, based on their Timing and placement of simple ethics. The key for them is - they Lived their ethics --- every day, even in the dark, by themselves. Those of you that are ashamed of things you do - in the dark --- -should "check yourself"…because you are never alone...someone is always watching. And when you die --- or when you astral travel --- those nasty things you do - in the dark --- are part of your energy ball - that others can "read". All your nasty little things - right out there in the open. And that is OK. Cuz folk will not care.
Timing - of what you do, when you do it -- a choice of actions --- when doing something mundane and difficult based on your Path --- against doing something Not in Your Path - that is selfish and of no value to your path --- THAT is the value of timing.
If you still dont know what I'm talking about ---
here is a little example. I've suggested to folks pursuing the Light path --- that they perform one Random act of Kindness each day. Do ya think they do it? Nope - not every day. They get bored --- or they don't see an immediate result - like an angel giving them an ice cream - so they stop. Then they whine that they are depressed or they have personal problems or yada yada. I never said when to stop
. But a person in humble search of their spirit - would contemplate whether that act should Be stopped. (the random Act of Kindness) It is a mundane act --- in a busily mean wurld --- but it has Immense opportunity for power. Ah, but i dont say that to the folks; I simply say - "go do one Random act of kindness." Because teaching is about experience; the teacher's - what is being shared; and the student's opportunity to do so - based on perception and Timing and Placement.
Balance is Performance. It doesn't matter what path you choose. If ya stay with Book of 5 rings --- you'll read that msg. from 400 yrs ago. That msg. is unchanged today. It can be applied - with success - now, in America, every day. You can continue to be who you are- in the life you have; but I bet that life will change a bit J
When I say I have 4 yards on the Beam - to Travel on --- I built that space; it wasn't "given" to me. My performance stretched the space for me. Being in touch with my nasty spirit - in astral --- in mental --- and living my life with my protocol based on the Creed I've posted here in SLC -- gave me that 4 yard space. I'm peachy every day --- I love the wurld, and enjoy the things in it ---
and I cant wait to leave.
If a martial arts interpretation of Balance is slightly confusing for you...find an elderly person you have watched for yrs -- respected ---- looked up to...and ask that person for his/her "take" on life --- ask that old person; and then....listen. You will hear a Path being described. If that person is calm with the wurld and with his/her approaching death --- you would do well to consider what they tell you - carefully. But you should consider all these things --- with an eye for your Path --- carefully.
On behalf of Mr. Baso and Mumon --- I want to thank the gallery for once again being so courteous - and patient with this old sterno-headed fart, and his wacky ideas.
lighthart1 : ty
gidget_600 : lol
Kellog_bluff : this concludes the session on "4 inches 4 u- 4 yards 4 me" - from the "balance and the 4-inch beam " series tonite - and blessing be.
purplerose142 : ty
Kellog_bluff : goodnight
hooplight�?: thank you kellog
faceonmars9 : thanks kellog
purplerose142 : dont leave
gidget_600 : bright blessings kellog
hooplight�?: wont you take questions kellog?
gidget_600 : (((((((((((((((((((((((kellog)))))))))))))
Purplerose142 : we need old faarts to talk too
Kellog_bluff : briefly - go ahead; these session are taxing on my head. (Baso is very fat)
lighthart1 : does each path lead to the same "home" or do the perceptions continue into the next realm?
Kellog_bluff : when you hear of "home" described...depending on the speaker --- you may get 1000 answers. To a catholic, "home" is in astral; but they dont call it that; they call it heaven. And it is a fine place; it is a dandy place. If I had not seen another place, I may not want to leave either. The "home " I speak of --- is the return to the essence of energy that all of us - all of everything --- came from. There is no decent name for it; but you can call it heaven. And yes - perceptions continue into death, and into the next death; but that "death " isn't called "death" in that realm; it is a different kind of "moving on". You dont automatically get "smarter" when you die; you just get more data rammed into your face. And if you dont want that data --- you dont have to take it - until you're ready for it. But your perceptions always control what/who/how you experience things; here, and in deadland.
CarmaCat : I know a couple of people how have crossed over and come back here. They tell me the 1st "place" you go to is your perception of heaven. You're given time to get accustomed the astral realm, then it that reality begins to filter in.
Kellog_bluff : there ya go. If a person has a perception of heaven --- they go there. But I'll tell ya most folks go to the Garden, go thru a tunnel that empties into a garden; it seems to change shape and size magically. It is soft - peaceful - folks are there, and you are greeted as wonderfully as anything in this life ever happened to you.. And then your given time to adjust, as has been said.
Unless you suicide.
CarmaCat : If you believe Jesus will help in your crossing over, Jesus will be there for you. If you believe it will be your mother, or husband, that is who willbe there
lighthart1 : why is suicide different?
Kellog_bluff : i personally want Carmen Miranda at age 19; hubba hubba.
hooplight�?: lol
faceonmars9 : lool
Laurelovely01 : hehee
CarmaCat : lol
Kellog_bluff : oh I didn't tell ya. In astral --- the Greeting is a release of energy; very stimulating, like a sex release. Way cool.
hooplight�?: no wonder it feel so good
lighthart1 : been there, done that, really hard to like ice cream now
hooplight�?: ok i get it
Kellog_bluff : see what I mean, light?
lighthart1 : yes
Kellog_bluff : and see why I have to bite my tongue when teaching "balance"?
gidget_600 : yes
Kellog_bluff : ya Cant Teach it; baby.
CarmaCat : Suicide doesn't mean "hell," unless that is what you believe. But, a person who commits suicide will be returned to this plane very quickly and in the same sorts of circumstances (that's the real hell of it)
Kellog_bluff : I can point to it; i can relate it clumsily, or I can simply Do it. But to teach it --- it is taught by example and by reference, and by Bunkai; and neither judgment means anything in the GDO cafe if ya try to buy Espresso with that assumption.
hooplight�?: i am getting it finally ...the way you walk day to day dictates your balance.....if that is the case i have done better then i thought and worse then i could have imagined; meaning i have a view only related in assumption. really if it was my etiquette that dictated my balance i have done well...with my tools...now i just need to learn to turn on a dime and i may get this after all
Kellog_bluff : I use the rusty tools I have; luckily my main tool isn't 4 inches.
faceonmars9 : lmao
lighthart1 : the funny thing about stretching, is it makes you more flexible, ahhhhhhhaaaahaaaahaaaaa, you dirty old man LOL
Kellog_bluff : one more thing - as a secret of the Wurld - just for you hoop. Timing is important; Placement is very important; but ya really really need one more thing - in your everyday life, to have balance - in this life. …�?.dont say love --- ya got that already, and its already covered above. Nope - one more thing that ya have to Work on every day, in your actions with others, and with yourself. Any guesses from the sharp Gallery? Not a sharp stick..
Laurelovely01 : hope
Kellog_bluff : not rollaids; not hope --- ya need that - but that is not what I'm speaking of here�?/P>
lighthart1 : faith
Kellog_bluff : that is a condition; not faith
Guest_September : forgiveness
Kellog_bluff : the item I'm looking for, here is an act. Sure - forgiveness as part of performance is fine; but I am looking for one specific thing
Guest_September : being humble
hooplight�?: ?........calm
Kellog_bluff : not yet mentioned
Angel_Heart_2001 : truth
lighthart1 : balls
Kellog_bluff : all that is good stuff ---- unless you are a Dark warrior
hooplight�?: got those
Kellog_bluff : one essential thing; come ON! J
faceonmars9 : a body
hooplight�?: flashlight?
Kellog_bluff : it is what ya reach for ---- when hope is fading…when stuff is rough�?/P>
faceonmars9 : liquor
Kellog_bluff : yeowza�?well, I guess one Other thing, then J
Laurelovely01 : determination
hooplight�?: intestinal fortitude
faceonmars9 : friends

Kellog_bluff : HUMOR; ya need humor in your life.
gidget_600 : i knew you were laughing, kellog

hooplight�?: blah - laughter
Laurelovely01 : lol
gidget_600 : lol
lighthart1 smacks herself in the forehead
gidget_600 : doh
hooplight�?: now that's funny light
Kellog_bluff : all that other stuff may or may not be needed in your path depending on if your Dark or Light. See - every path is personal; you may want to be a demon. And if so --- to maintain the balance required for that path - you need humor. Believe me - GDO had a GREAT sense of humor.
lighthart1 : you will never be what you want, you will always be what you are
Kellog_bluff : well - I think you got the msg. J If any of yas are Traveling --- and ya meet up with something so threatening and scary and Evil that ya think your gonna disappear and die and never get back to physical again...there is a secret weapon/tool ya can use, to survive
humor.
gidget_600 : i agree totally
Kellog_bluff : now my guild is gonna get pissed at me for sharing that. - but who gives a rat's ass?
hooplight�?: lets hope i am a good comedian lol
lighthart1 : laugh a minute lol
Kellog_bluff : your supposed to learn that AFTER ya get stomped
Angel_Heart_2001 : kellog....I hope your guides have great news for me
gidget_600 : lol
Kellog_bluff : guides? ya mean there is someone at this wheel?
lighthart1 : lol
Angel_Heart_2001 : oh yeah
Kellog_bluff : guild; not guide. This wheel swings freely. Gawd - if I was driving --- you'd get tidbits like --- go to church.
