may 7, 2007: Being & Awareness

--------------- May 7, 2007 -----------------------

If you do not Feel, how then could you feel Being? How would you really Know “Being”? Knowing comes from direct or indirect Experience. When you “feel” something, for example, you are Experiencing Feeling.

If you were able to go into your feelings completely, with all of your focus and attention, you would experience Being. There is an awareness behind the mental programming of our mental state. We are that awareness.


When all of my awareness is focused on Being, I exist as that which can be Felt....or, That which IS,......not as that which is perceived (judged), and not as an idea (in the mind). It is like moving my awareness from the mind, into the stillness. Into what IS.

I feel this is the end of the progression of material evolution. Evolution has been evolving into a more and more complete feeling of Being using the illusion of TIME...Time creates Being, as well as Feeling creates Being. If there was no TIME and there was no Feeling, there would be no Being. Its like Being needs an opposite in order to exist. There is “Being”, or “Awareness”...then there is the external world, there is feeling, experiencing, etc.

It feels like we are coming into a greater sense of Being. This Being is the only One & True existence. But then there is something behind this, a stillness. A non-being, non-existence.

The Ego, ¨Human Personalized Identity¨ re-creates itself through its unconscious Beliefs and ideas......instead of our awareness creating from Truth, or Inner Knowing.

This is where Education is so Important: It can impart higher and more truthful information which can be used for more empowered ideas and beliefs. Education allows for the power of the individual to emerge and develop and, If we each Knew who we ALL were, we would become LOVE and we would become PEACE........but we must first be Informed...in order to change our Beliefs, which in turn is creating our reality. When we are Informed, we are empowered with the Knowledge about how we create our reality....which leads to creating from a place of LOVE.

PEACE is not harming another, because you are aware that you ARE the other.


This understanding comes to earth through the active seeking of individuals. This feeling of Being, this Awareness is growing as the access to Truth-full Information grows.


Humanity is so different from the rest of life on earth because we developed the brain to jump outside of Being...so that we could come into a more full understanding of what Being is.....we developed a brain that could comprehend it. As the Information Age bridges the gaps between culture, religion, and language, we will come to the conclusion that we are all ONE , we are one huge family, and there is no separation except that which we create through our beliefs.

hi joel...

i would like to applaud you for taking your quest for self discovery so seriously... i bet we have all been there and gone through a phase of self doubt but most of us never have the courage to sell everything we own and move into a jungle, befriend strangers, accept their culture and learn from them... your photos from the stay are so interesting... i cannot tell you how much i would like to meet you and talk to you about your experiences... and one day travel like you did...

your work is amazing...went through all the paintings on your website and loved your first painting after return, the self is within, the most!

the road to self discovery never ends... we keep walking the same streets again and again until we discover what we perhaps already knew... but its the journey that matters :)

keep up the great work and more importantly your spirit !

best wishes... and good luck...

Great words here Joel, you're making a lot of sense.
We seems to share a similar perspective, though from different directions.

"PEACE is not harming another, because you are aware that you ARE the other."

I couldn't have put it any better myself.

Stay close to your being.
