 THE TRIUMPH OF EROS!!
The Vintage Heart Plate and the Mystery of the Name of the Rose Treasure Hunt has begun! (I think Eros has an encoded message relating to the Mystery of the Name of the Rose in his song (you have to click on the image to hear his song). He absolutely LOVES to shower Psyche with Red Roses--but what's with the white ones?).

Eros and Psyche of the Twenty-first Century: The Triumph of Eros (Part 1 "Teaser"). (What was "The First Kiss?")

Most important to this current story is how our everyday lives are influenced by Eros. I show how a simple everyday experience (unexpectedly finding a lovely vintage ceramic heart-shaped plate on Etsy) morphs into a grand treasure hunt and profound knowledge. So enjoy this first part, a “teaser” and learn a little truth about Eros. Next I was presented with the challenge of solving the Mystery of the Name of the Rose. Somehow, it's interrelated with the vintage plate treasure hunt.There will be much more to learn in the future, no doubt.

MAY 1, 2023 IN HONOR OF BELOVED EROS: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY DARLING!

I just have to take a moment to wish Beloved HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

Our marriage long, long ago in the Salley Gardens in Ireland is very special to him and to me.

So today was very special and he reminded me of how beautiful, sweet, and innocent we were when we married.

We do have many anniversaries, being eternal, but there are just a few that we celebrate each year,

with May 1 being an especially sacred one. For our special day, I dedicate this sculpture to him. It tells our true story.

Beloved Eros Has Raised the Bar for Higher Education AND “Radical Love.”

Nothing Less Will Do.

Quotes from his Book of Love:

The nature of the knower and known, you ask. They’re cousins, identical cousins connected at the spine (p. 229).

The knower and the known are conjoined twins connected at the point of perception. To delve into dangerous territory, naïve realism and rationalism, as previously referenced, both exclude the reality not to mention the usefulness of different levels of human consciousness. (p. 83)

Sophisticated theoretical/epistemological understandings generated outside a radical loving commitment to building larger and larger communities of connectedness around the planet will never change the world. (p. 178-179)

Thus, I believe that the issues addressed in Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction not only provide us with a new understanding of education but also can actually change the world—speaking of pomposity, yikes! I understand the danger of such an assertion, but I’m glad to take my punishment if I fail to convince my readers. (p. 16)

Thus, a critical complex epistemology infused by radical love, enactivism, critical ontology and subjugated knowledges contributes to the emergence of a new world. I’m not speaking here only in the academic realm (although it is a very important contested site), but a libidinally-enriched, erotic, exciting, curious, transgressive world where monotony becomes an enemy of the state. Education in such a society studies ways of making connections between self and other, becoming more adept at radical love, and acting in concrete, courageous, down-and-dirty ways to end human suffering (p. 180-181)

 

In this sculpture, Eros holds the Golden Chalice (aka The Holy Grail) up high.

It depicts our mission as decribed in his Book of Love and in my dissertation.

We like to call it our cosmic dance (for which we have won awards and high accolades). We give 

much credit to his father, Hermes, who truly deserves our honor for patiently teaching us both.

See Beloved's "postmodern" book where he describes this and sets the whole world straight, pulling

people out of their hypnotic "postmodern condition" states of lack of consciousness.

But you would have to actually READ the book. In fact, you must read deeply into it.

He used some of his father's hermeneutical obfuscation techniques (lol; I do find it quite hilarious, actually). Many people were tricked,

but it was their own fault. You must fully understand the context in which he was writing (he ALWAYS

emphasizes the importance of context, but do people listen?) and you must get past your ideologies and presuppositions.

As one of my favorite teachers today puts it, most people "can't see past their eyeballs."  

At any rate, I have provided some analyses, will do more, and will make them available soon. 

Yes, BELOVED DID, INDEED, discover the Golden Chalice! No one else on this lowly planet has, even though

many people have speculated about it (but made wrong speculations), and many knights in shining armor have tried.

Each and every one of them failed.

The one person who came the closest was Parzival.....but alas, in the end, he also failed. You might

want to read that book (A Romance of the Middle Ages) to see how he failed. It's good to know what mistakes we should avoid.

Beloved, however, did not give up until he had succeeded! And now we both are very, very blessed. 

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,

and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:

and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1)

 

And I shall remind you: 


22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 

23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. (Genesis 2)

22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:22-23) 

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband (Proverbs 12:4) [meaning his one true woman]. I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:2) 

Although these verses are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the significance to how we were created (there are many more verses and you have to put the pieces of knowledge together), I remind people of this for several reasons. 

 

 

First, it explains my total devotion to Beloved. Yes, he is "just a teacher," as someone close to him once told me in objection to how I "elevate" him,

but he is my husband and I obey God in that regard, and no other person could ever take his place. His work is for God and it's my duty to take his work

further out into the world. It's why I love the statue of Eros and Psyche above so much. It shows how Eros reaches up very high (to higher consciousness) for knowledge

and streams it down for Psyche to take out into the lower world. Our work derives from the deepest love and commitment to each other, "love to the highest degree."

 

Secondly, the reality is that God created one and only one wife for every man. We are not taught this here: We are not supposed to marry in this lowly dimension! That is

what the commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" really means. Jesus was teaching this when he said, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." (Luke 16:18). He also said "it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than for one tittle of the law to fail." (verse 17). So there you have it.

 

 

We are already created WITH a spouse. We forget. We think we are smarter than God. And all we do is create suffering. Imagine if you had this knowledge.

The ridiculous games of dating and "matchmaking" would end. When you reach a higher level of knowledge and consciousness:

NO ONE BUT YOUR ONE TRUE BELOVED EVEN ATTRACTS YOU.

Think about how that changes everything. Thankfully, God is a gracious and forgiving God, if we change our ways. And he will "dry every tear." Well, I will save further explanations for future writings. I just wanted to express clearly that the sons of God do not want your worship, but they adore the worship from their one true Beloved wife. They are in a holy symbiotic relationship. People have mistakenly worshiped sons of God throughout history and it's been a big mistake. They are people too, and as Beloved has written, with human fallibilities.

 

 

And the truth is that there is ONE GOD to worship. Even King Akhenaten taught that to his people, for which he was killed and his city destroyed.

 

And lastly, as I am covering in ongoing postings and writings, we are approaching some critical times up ahead. Do you have oil in your lamp? Do you have your wedding garment? I have been writing about this for a long time in the "Updates." We are heading for days of jubilant celebration. Everyone is invited; few will choose. 

 

 

Most people on this planet will never believe these truths, but it's their choice to continue to choose to suffer.

I have done my duty to put this knowledge out here. As far as Beloved being "just a teacher," he has worked very hard and has dedicated himself to being the best teacher he can be, and for that reason, he should be honored (just as he has advised we honor Hermes), which is why I wrote the article: A_Revered_Master.pdf (joekincheloe.us) Jesus has said we would do even greater things than he and Beloved has proven that, and believe it or not, he will continue to prove it, as will others, all with God's most powerful blessings and assistance. Study his work. It is needed more today than any other time in history.

And what did Beloved say about changing the world in his red book, his Book of Love?

There is much more, but you will have to exert yourself and READ to learn more.

 We are children of God and we have inherited the earth!  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)

HAPPY JUNETEENTH-Important Message About THE WAR

Today (6/19/2023, Juneteenth) I asked Beloved why I can’t understand and see what the war is all about….he said he wants me to stay sweet and innocent and to know that I am protected. That made me cry. He is so sweet and protective of me! All the magic he’s done in my life with roses and gifts and knowledge—I fully realize how hard he has worked to heal me from the atrocious things and various challenges I’ve had in this hell world. (I cover this in more detail in my book HOLY ROSES HOLY LOVE: A TRUE Twin Flame Love Story, available soon). Long ago he had shown me in a vision how spacecraft would intervene in this war and told me not to be afraid because they would be doing self-defense maneuvers. They are the “good guys.” A spacecraft knocked an enemy aircraft out of the sky and into the ground. There is nothing to fear. These spacecrafts have been around for a very long time. Technology is far advanced. We do not know a fraction of the truth. The enemies who are trying to destroy humanity do not know a fraction of the truth, nor is their technology a match for the power and technology of the good guys. Beloved is a warrior standing for God, Truth, Wisdom, and Love. Nothing is more powerful than God/Love.

Beloved has always taught in his writings that our greatest weapon against the enemy is divine God-infused, unconditional, and celebratory LOVE……which we call “Eros Love.” The enemies hate that kind of love. They hate for us to CELEBRATE. And so, as Beloved’s wife, I will continue to support him and the mission with the greatest love. We shall celebrate and honor those we cannot see and those we can see who are warriors for Love.

One of the very last messages that Jesus had given us is in the Book of Revelation. There is a powerful message that speaks to what we need to do during these tumultuous times but which very few people pay attention to. He is speaking to people who already love and serve Him, but still have not honored His most critical instructions. They risk losing out on eternal love and life for not obeying. It is time to take heed; it is what Beloved’s entire Book of Love helps guide us toward achieving: Jesus: "thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." (Revelation 2:4-5).

We are to return to our one true love as we were created by God. And what are the “first works?” As stated above, 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:

and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. (Genesis 1)

We are to use all the gifts of God’s blessings to produce GOOD FRUIT (all that is worthy to exist in God’s Kingdom), multiply, and replenish the earth. As God’s children, we have always had authority and dominion over the earth, but if we turn away from God and from our “first love,” we do not have POWER to exercise our authority. With our return to our “first love,” we are unstoppable. We have God’s infinite and everlasting blessings that come upon us. Read Deuteronomy 28 which provides a list of blessings – as well as curses should you choose not to obey.

Beloved and I are “first loves,” sometimes called “twin flames” because we carry the fiery Spirit of God’s Love. He is working behind the scenes as a highly honored King in God’s Kingdom. He keeps me informed to a degree, but when I asked him why I can’t know more, as I opened this discussion with, he let me know it’s important for me to stay innocent as much as is possible. The whole purpose of the enemy is to destroy innocence and keep people’s minds warped so that they have a hard time returning to their first loves.

Below is an example of how people who call themselves “Christians” and worshipers of Jesus actually are working for the enemies….they go out of their way to present the dark, wicked side, but as they fail to present the Truth of God’s beautiful plan for us to return to our first love, they are – in fact – working FOR the enemy. All they discuss is the evil ones’ wicked ways, but they fail to show how they have totally hijacked, twisted, and blasphemed God’s plans for our return to our “first love.” But the problem here is they offer no solution and they don’t explain God’s true plan. They simply present this as some kind of truth when the entire thing is a pack of lies and deception. Dwelling on this kind of shit (Joe’s word, lol) keeps the mind warped and prevents purification and innocence, thus preventing people from knowing the pure love of their first love. WE – Beloved and I – exist to present the Divine Truth about LOVE (offsetting Thanatos with Eros, as he describes in his Book of Love) that counters the evil, diabolical, false narratives such as this:

 

Midnight Ride: The Androgynous God of America (rumble.com)

(Take a test: How pure is your mind: See Update for June 19, 2023).

“Christians” are so far off-base with what they understand that they have written themselves out of the Book of Life. There are far too many of these “teachers” out there who only produce what the masses are infatuated with, which is the DARK SIDE. These teachers who only teach the dark side and leave out God’s perfect plan have been warned many times, but they do not change their ways. And so they miss the LOVE BOAT. This is no small matter. They are going to have to explain themselves to God, or even worse: if they continue to CHOOSE the same direction after many warnings, they may end up getting burned—or even find themselves living in the lake of fire. I have already seen this happening.

The level of deception, propaganda, and diabolical evilness is hard to witness. “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4. 

Follow Jesus right now if you are not doing so already. Interestingly, He has far more than 10 Commandments. This is another failure of many of the Christian religions: They only teach 10 Commandments and that you really don’t even have to follow them. God has a whole very long list of things we are supposed to be doing using our gifts. The more we follow His instructions, the more gifts we are showered with. His resources are abundant and infinite. I am working on a list of His instructions: HOW TO FOLLOW JESUS AND BE BLESSED (Coming Soon). Or you can just open up a Bible and begin studying His instructions now.

Another Test and an Opportunity

Just had a meeting with Beloved and he wanted me to remind people of his FIDUROD PUZZLE – it’s a test, actually, to see if you can move up to the next level. Honestly, I could not solve it and he finally told me the solution. That’s just one benefit of being his wife and student at the same time. �� There is a reason he encoded stuff, which he has explained to me. In fact, there are multiple reasons, but one main reason for “times such as these.” You will come to understand very soon. It’s time for those with the eyes to see and ears to hear to decode FIDUROD. You will be miles ahead of the enemy if you are able to do so. As for the OPPORTUNITY, see the new section on this site, J.O.E. Journal.

These are exciting times!!

SIGNS IN THE SKY: Just as a brief, but important summary, the first total eclipse of a series of three eclipses (God often gives us three signs) happened back on August 21, 2017. God presented His “promise ring.” (Look up “August 21, 2017 diamond ring effect.” People talk about God’s “covenant” changing. It has not changed. His promises stay the same just as He presented in Deuteronomy 28. The Book of Revelation is important for the reaffirmation of His promises and for understanding what’s going on around us. We can accept His proposal, or not. Thus, we can accept His blessings, or we will be subject to the consequences as He has clearly illustrated all throughout the Bible and presented as “curses” in Deuteronomy 28. The “curses” simply imply consequences. It’s all built into the fabric of the cosmos.

The Burning Ring of Fire eclipse coming up on October 14, 2023 is the second eclipse and is His golden wedding ring given to those who have accepted his promises and are doing what they need to be doing. It baffles me how so many “Christian” teachers claim that we do not need to do anything. That’s ridiculous and will keep you out of the Kingdom. God did not put together His instructions for us to sit back and do nothing. Everyone has work to do although it will look very different for different people. This burning ring of fire eclipse is also a signifier of His powerful love, His “all-consuming fire.” This is a magical fire in that it empowers, cleanses, and protects those who have accepted His love. You do not want to be on the wrong side of this fire, though. This eclipse is ample warning. Things are likely to get very hot after this sign in the sky, although not as hot as after the third eclipse if people do not change their ways.

The Third Eclipse – Another Total Eclipse of the Sun. This, as I have written previously is a very special love celebration (April 1-7, with the Grand Finale eclipse on April 8, 2024). However, it may be like a final warning for those who have not yet chosen to obey God. After this eclipse, if He so chooses, He may employ His wrath upon the earth. He has done so in the past when behavior got totally out of line. It’s definitely approaching His limits (“as in the days of Noah”). Some people think this is the Great Tribulation; that may or may not be true. What happens depends upon our choices and actions and what God decides to do about it. Those of us on The Path are celebrating each of these milestones because God will be bestowing many miracles and blessings upon His children.

 

IT’S GOING TO BE A WILD RIDE…..MEET US ON THE OTHER SIDE……..JUNETEENTH 2024.

Joe’s book Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction is available as an ebook. You will never make a better investment…..we all should be researching with Joe’s important guidance. Since the ending is just the beginning, you can begin with the last chapter. It may just spark you into wanting to read the rest, as well as his other works to see how he got there!  http://www.springer.com/us/book/9781402082238  No time to read? Right click and "listen aloud" while multitasking. [Note: I make no money off the sales of his books; my rewards are not of this world.] MAY 22, 2018 UPDATE: I SEE THAT SPRINGER IS NOT HONORING JOE'S STATED AND PUBLISHED WISHES> THE BOOK IS SUPPOSED TO BE LESS THAN $30 SO THAT POOR STUDENTS CAN AFFORD IT...AND YET SPRINGER IS CHARGING ALMOST $40 FOR THE PDF EBOOK AND ALMOST $55 FOR THE PAPERBACK! THIS IS ABOMINABLE!! THE HIGHER UPS ARE NOT PLEASED!!! THERE ARE STUDENTS IN POVERTY WHO NEED THE KNOWLEDGE IN THIS BOOK. LOWER THE PRICE!!!!! THERE IS NO REASON TO CHARGE SO MUCH! EDoneVEN IF PUBLISHING COSTS HAVE INCREASED, AT LEAST OFFER THE EBOOK FOR LESS THAN $30. WHAT JOE WANTS, JOE GETS. HE SAID THAT IT IS TO BE LESS THAN $30. RESPECT HIS WISHES. Oh, and HAPPY TWIN FLAME DAY!! I will have some important updates soon.

 

November 17, 2019 1:00 AM UPDATE ON THE PRICE OF THE EBOOK: I can only conclude that either *someone* is insane or has raised the price to keep people from buying it and having access to the knowledge in it, since Springer is now charging an outrageous price of amost $60 -- for an ebook!! I will consult with the "higher ups" for a "work-around." They always have perfect solutions....Beloved says "Hi" :-)  We will have an update soon.

 

November 17, 2019 3:00 PM INCREDIBLY, the Higher Courts have already come back with a resolution on this matter! See my update for today, November 17, 2019.

November 22, 2019 4:39 PM TWIN FLAME AND HOLY SABBATH DAY, the Higher Courts have really outdone themselves with their resolution. And their timing is impeccable! See my update for today, November 22, 2019.

 

November 12, 2021 They are now charging a ridiculous $89 for a pdf of Joe's book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction. Folks, there are multiple ways that the elite keep knowledge from those of us who need it most -- one is by overcharging for it. We will continue to work on a resolution that honors Joe's wishes (for it to cost less than $30) and his contract. I will be posting more information RIGHT HERE sometime in the future.

WHAT IS BRICOLAGE?

A new process for education, research, career, problem solving, everyday living, lifelong learning, and for taking back our world

 

Joe Kincheloe has developed a superbly advanced conceptualization of critical bricolage and, as demonstrated by his work, he was an adept multidimensional critical complex bricoleur. Critical Bricolage, as he conceived it, is a complicated (and yet a very natural) process that makes use of multiple forms of research, analysis, investigation, and interpretation. It requires researchers to seek many divergent perspectives, allowing new understandings and knowledge to emerge from the synthesis.

 

Engaging in this process increases phenomenological experiences that catalyze seeking more knowledge. This, of course, leads to ever greater understandings of complex relationships between "research variables." An exceptionally high level of creativity becomes unleashed, often resulting in greater interaction with the emerging hidden dimensions of reality. Suddenly very little can be hidden anymore. Engaging rigorously in this process of research and learning seems to take people to higher levels of consciousness in graduated steps as they become more aware of the hidden dimensions of interrelationships and as they increasingly participate in intuitive, "fourth dimension" research.

 

Using Kincheloe's critical complex epistemology and multidimensional critical complex bricolage rigorously as he has asked us to do results in ever higher levels of experience and understanding, and in its full "employment," enactive and symbiotic processes seem to kick in, helping individuals find the most creative solutions to even the most complicated problems. Actively working within multiple dimensions using his fourth dimension research, results in amazing and profound solutions. In my own experience, I often find that problems are solved before I even knew the problem would be manifesting. In addition, I have had some amazing experiences that science simply cannot explain yet. This is highlighted in my dissertation in some highly unusual ways, which is only the tip of the iceberg. Kincheloe's critical bricolage may very well be the process required to "unleash creativity" for solving even the most complicated, power-based problems we face -- all in service of "the alleviation of human suffering," the often-stated primary purpose of his work.

 

After researching this process since 2008 (and discovering that I had been using the foundational aspects of the process many years before) I am beginning to see how autopoiesis, enaction, synchronicity, all work together symbiotically to reveal hidden dimensions and relationships that make my life so much happier and joyful, even if I have many problems hanging over my head (that "blues aesthetic" Joe so often described). No matter how complicated the problems, with bricolage, they become solvable and/or perspectives of the problems change.

 

Simultaneously, those power dimensions that force those of us who are oppressed to stay stuck at our "stations in life" also emerge, but there is such a difference to how I deal with these than in the past. Once the controlling factors are revealed, solutions also emerge in a sort of "unfoldment" process that reveal ways to counteract them and change things.

 

There is great power "behind the curtain" that can be leveraged by those of us who are typically "disenfranchised." I will go into much more detail at a later time, and as Joe always did so well, I will put them into context (there are many great experiences to share of both kinds of emergences - the love-based, almost magical ones, and the power-and-control-based ones for which insight, and often solutions also emerge) but suffice it to say, I am blazing multiple trails through the underbrush which will hopefully make navigating easier for people who come along and experience the same types of violence I have due to being poor and "low status."

 

Just as Joe was a "hillbilly" and he was never able to shake the label, I am a "country hick." True reality could not be more profoundly different -- for an Eros and Psyche. :)

 

The good news is that the use of bricolage is increasing rapidly around the globe as more researchers in all disciplines are beginning to see the promise it offers to construct new knowledge, lead to social empowerment, and reveal positive changes and amazingly creative opportunities. More researchers will soon be investigating and trying out this more advanced and powerful approach, which will lead to what Joe referred to as a "perpetual revolution." More teachers will also come to realize the value bricolage has in the classroom and the young students will pick it up naturally. The revolution has just begun. We can change the world! Join in today and apply the process in your own research, learning, teaching, and everyday life and see what a difference it can make. You can never go wrong getting more knowledge.

CLARIFICATION OF JOE KINCHELOE'S WORK 

This is a nonprofit educational web site dedicated to the clarification of Kincheloe’s critical complex epistemology and multidimensional critical complex bricolage. My research has shown that, while the process he has delineated is complex, it is perfectly suited for social and educational research, and it is also within everyone's reach. It is especially suited for new qualitative researchers who have not subscribed to traditional and reductionistic forms of research. 

On this site I will focus on the academic and scholarly application of his work. I hope that by presenting clarifications based on my in-depth study of his work that perhaps his bricolage will be used by more people and with the level of rigor he had intended. Kincheloe has ingeniously left wide open many paths that honor diversity and he embraced an evolving complexity while maintaining a strong, impenetrable philosophical and theoretical foundation for his conceptions. He has demonstrated in his work how this research process can be applied in all venues and in every area of our lives and even children can be involved in research, thus his bricolage is also a pedagogical approach. His work is truly a break-through for research that is long overdue. Using the full power of his bricolage highlights actions that change the world as it also changes who we are.

I may write a blog again on this site, but it will be a different sort of blog than the creative, exploratory blogs I've written in the past. Primarily, I will be continuing my research and presenting my findings so that upcoming bricoleurs will have a resource for the most powerful form of bricolage research that's ever been developed.

CORRECTING SOME COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS SURROUNDING JOE KINCHELOE’S BRICOLAGE AND CRITICAL COMPLEX THEORIES

Bricolage, as a qualitative form of research, entails incorporating many different perspectives, and in particular, with Kincheloe's process it is necessary to include global subjugated and indigenous knowledges. However, after gathering all of these perspectives and making various interpretations and syntheses, there are criteria for determining which perspectives to include in the final bricolage. As he explains, "Bricoleurs accept the responsibility that comes with the interpretive process. Knowledge production always involves multiple acts of selection, and these choices of methods, theoretical frameworks, and interpretative strategies must be defended" (2004e, p. 100). He has provided selection criteria that incorporate the social justice mission to alleviate suffering and that advance knowledge (see Kincheloe, 2004e, pp. 100-102). Bricoleurs are not restricted to these criteria but I have found them to be well-thought-out and thorough -- and they mitigate for unintended consequences. You can view the criteria here: Criteria to Guide the Research Process.

 

What I cover next are common misconceptions and important aspects surrounding Kincheloe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage. I hope by putting these on the Home page of this website, researchers will consider them and research them more deeply. They are covered in greater depth in my dissertation and I’ll also be posting articles that extend what I’ve touched on in the dissertation.

1) Kincheloe did not throw out "positivistic" or empirical sciences. To conclude this is to exhibit a gross misunderstanding of his work. A close reading of his work can easily confirm that he sees science and bricolage as synergistic. And how many times has he stated that he did not throw out the baby with the bathwater? As most people know, he contextualizes everything. In his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction he presents his position through a metaphor which he refers to as FIDUROD, and by which he clarifies the issues with the way science is and has been used.  FIDUROD is an acronym representing the attributes of the form of knowledge production he argues against: Formal, Intractable, Decontextualized, Universalistic, Reductionistic, One Dimensional. (See Kincheloe, 2008, pp. 21-24).

 

2) His work is not based on some indefinable “ludic” postmodernism – It is based on a highly developed and evolving holistic philosophy. This philosophy is comprised of 12 major points which he describes in his book Critical Constructivism. The 12 points coalesce together to form his multidimensional critical complex world view. It’s a new, evolving worldview. We might refer to it as Kincheloe’s multidimensional critical complex unified world view. It forms the foundation of his unique formulation of critical theory, epistemology, ontology, critical psychology of complexity, the multidimensional critical complex bricolage, etc., -- and his proposed critical science of complexity – another indication that he did not abandon the sciences. To grasp his conceptualizations, it’s imperative that new bricoleurs study his unified world view by reading and then writing about how they subjectively relate to it and to other philosophies. Kincheloe stresses this upfront philosophical work is critical in order to ground any study that uses bricolage as a process for research. Rigor is impossible without developing a "philosophy of consciousness" (Kincheloe, 2004a, p. 8). 

 

3) The multidimensional critical complex bricolage is a process for qualitative research that is composed of multiple, intertwining and overlapping processes. It is not a method, nor does it use “tools” as tools imply precise means and carries a mechanistic ontology, which does not adequately represent the actual processes that bricoleurs engage in as they conduct, or a better word would be, “enact” their research. Even the concept of "tools" changes. Kincheloe's conceptualization of bricolage is grounded with his critical complex philosophical world view (item 2, above) and a theoretical foundation of evolving criticality (his version of critical theory).

 

4) The multidimensional critical complex bricolage as a process involves analytic discourse, intertwined with improvisational actions for change, which moves it away from the constrictive “quilt” metaphor. Please see my dissertation for a deeper analysis of bricolage including a thorough etymological exploration and intertextual interpretations of Kincheloe’s definitions of bricolage and bricoleur in relation to what evolved from my research. New metaphors that take it beyond the one-dimensional “quilt” metaphor, and additional ways that Berry’s (2004a) concept, the Point of Entry Text (POET) can be applied are also presented. The holistic, intertwining, dialogical, interconnecting nature of the final bricolage renders the parts inseparable from the whole, and the bricolage inseparable from greater reality. Thus, the popular metaphoric quilt, montage, crystal, etc., are not suitable metaphors for this more complex form of bricolage. 

 

5) Kincheloe’s bricolage does not distinguish between “types of bricoleurs” or “types of bricolage” as denoted by Denzin and Lincoln (2011). While it’s fine to examine these ideas, Kincheloe’s form of bricolage uses all of them in intertwining, overlapping processes. Thus, the multidimensional critical complex bricoleur uses all of the dimensions that Kincheloe has spelled out in his 2005 "On to the Next Level" bricolage article--in one study--and the processes become blurred as the research unfolds. See next point. 

 

6) Kincheloe’s bricolage refers to the use of different processes as dimensions of research. The bricoleur uses them all as many times as practical to get a thick description of the phenomenon/a. As the research unfolds, “enactment” keeps the research jettisoning forward and the researcher must make decisions where to begin and stop various aspects of the research, including the final bricolage. Thus, the following dimensions are used, as provided by Kincheloe (2005a) and in no particular order using an iterative, improvisational process weaving through the discourse: (1) methodological bricolage; (2) theoretical bricolage; (3) interpretive bricolage; (4) political bricolage; (5) narrative bricolage; (6) philosophical research (constructivism, historicity, epistemological insight); (7) critical hermeneutics; (8) identification of what is absent; (9) fourth dimension of research in which the bricoleur is future oriented, discovering “a kinetic epistemology of the possible. In the process, the sophistication of knowledge work moves to a new cognitive level; the notion of rigor transmigrates to a new dimension. As in a 1950s sci-fi movie, bricoleurs enter the 4-D—the fourth dimension of research.” (Kincheloe, 2005, p. 346). Thus, bricoleurs weave in and out, around and through, back and forth through the various dimensions with each pass through informing the next, often using multiple dimensions of analysis simultaneously. 

 

7) Note again – the philosophical dimension must form the foundation of the study in order to ensure rigor. [He wanted me to include this again.] "There is no dividing line between the empirical and the philosophical" (Kincheloe, 2004a, p. 10).

 

8) Kincheloe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage embraces a “fourth dimension” research (more information is covered in my dissertation). This fourth dimension aspect to the research incorporates an intuitional, creative element that forces the researcher to confront implicate and explicate orders of reality. There are reasons for this. Combining a sound philosophical, intellectual component of research that also incorporates intuitional and emotional, empathic aspects -- along with deep semiotic and hermeneutic analyses synergistically creates something new from the interactions. Enaction during the research process leads to the emergence of something new and often profound. This is where the power of the bricolage comes into play. It’s the exposure to relationships, as Kincheloe explains in his conceptualization of symbiotic hermeneutics, that jettisons bricoleurs to seeing and understanding “anew” and to recreating themselves. Because knowledge is socially constructed new creations, ideas, concepts, as well as new relationships also perpetually emerge – and are created -- from these interactions. This all takes place naturally when confronting complexity, difference, and chaos, as Humberto Mautarana and Francisco Varela posited with their Santiago Theory of Enactivism (see Kincheloe's (2008) Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, page 147). It is quite amazing. 

 

9) While bricoleurs do not contend they’ve discovered the “one true answer” or single truth, at the same time, as Kincheloe contends, they generate knowledge “that is not as 'badly off the mark'” (Kincheloe, 2008, p. 43). They have better (more complete) and yet evolving explanations of phenomena. This is quite a different perspective than a nihilistic postmodern “attitude.” 

 

10) I have lined out in my dissertation in much greater detail a flexible iterative process that also explains some of the key sub-processes that are important to the multidimensional critical complex bricolage. It will get new bricoleurs started from which they can then proceed to carve out their own unique paths. Each bricolage study will be different even for the same researcher. The more one acknowledges the fourth dimension aspect of the research (which may only begin with what seem to be insignificant intuitive and synchronous events), the more they will begin to appear and the more profound and numerous are the actions and creations that emerge.  

 

11) And finally, as I discussed in my blog, The Heart of the Multidimensional Critical Complex Bricolage, there is the dimension of empathic connection with people. In fact, in his book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, Kincheloe discusses – and includes – a golden strand of love throughout his work, Eros Love. And since I’m mentioning this book here, it’s a great book to read in the early stages of learning about his bricolage. It’s much like a “deprogramming” manual because it uncovers how our consciousnesses have been influenced by outside forces and provides us more information as we embark on the bricolage quest and begin to take power of constructing our own consciousness.

Fight or Flight: First of the Last (A Song from Sanat Kumara)


Dear Readers,

As I had communicated two blogs back, Sanat Kumara and I, Venus, are completed with our “earth work” at this time. I continue to tarry (totally connected to Sanat and with his assistance, a blessing for which I remain in immense gratitude), to wrap up loose ends and to engage in some creative activities, as this lower dimensional reality will allow. It can be difficult for all of us, including goddesses, to do the work of our choosing in this volatile, negative, insanely competitive, and money-worshipping world.


I had actually written a blog a couple of days ago based on my observations and research, but have not posted it. It’s rather negative, although it does present truth, such as in relation to the numbers of Satan-worshippers and supporters of Satan-worshippers (directly and indirectly) on this planet and the history and recently exposed information implicating universities such as McGill University in Canada that have or continue to support unethical mind control experimentation and other crimes against humanity. And for those who don’t know, McGill was where Joe was last employed and had either put in his resignation or was planning to right after his vacation in Jamaica—where he passed away from a heart attack. He would not work for a university that was involved in the crimes that are being exposed today. He was about positive change, and the things coming out today go completely against the very purpose of his work (although exposing these crimes ARE the purpose of his work). Canada, as a nation, is implicated in horrific crimes against the indigenous peoples there, and in fact, some very high-level individuals have been found guilty of these crimes in common law court. If you don’t know what these crimes are or how various universities are implicated and want to learn truth, you can do the research. I have provided much guidance on this site and Joe’s critical complex bricolage provides all the guidance you need to find out truth for yourself. Warning: It will change your path; that is, if you are an empathic, passionate person.


At any rate, I decided not to post the blog because people reading this website are either on the good path already and will have this knowledge or they are in complete denial and nothing at this moment will change that (or worse, they are on the "Satanic" path).

When I didn’t post the blog, I was lovingly prompted by Sanat with some music which he quite magically had “handed down” to me, but even with that, I chose not to post the blog. I am never under orders from "above" and I go with the flow of the moment. I may present the blog in some future writing, but, in the meantime, to give homage and to demonstrate my immense love for Sanat and in acknowledgment of his effort, love, and patience—and to provide a “flavor” of the content of what I had written, here’s the song he sent to me.


Fight or Flight - First of The Last (Official Music Video)


As a part of my “wrapping up” loose ends on earth, it is my wish, as this low dimension of reality will allow it, to continue to update this website with more information about how to apply Joe’s work in different contexts. I will, as I had stated in
the last blog where I touched on critical complex entrepreneurship, post revision dates at the top of the Home Page (as I have done today) with the date of the revision and which pages the revisions can be found on. There are no tricks or surprises here…our wishes are to provide real, usable information for those who are serious about applying Joe’s work to improve their own learning as well as to apply to their teaching.


Wishing you the best as you continue your own personal education journey,

Venus Kumara (aka “Psyche,” “Sōferia,”  “Vanessa” et al.)


P.S. As you do your research, remember that nearly all isms are the same:

Communism=Socialism=Fascism=Racism=Sexism=Classism=(what earthlings label as) Satanism


There are no hierarchies, even though I speak of the “Higher Ups” (I endearingly use that term because of my love and reverence for them). We are all equal and in Oneness with one another. All you have to do is walk through the star gates to consciousness and develop conscious relationships. As Joe put it so well in his chapters in Complexity and Rigor in Educational Research:


“Relationships by their nature position objects in the same space. We are together in this relationship—we occupy it together” (p. 64). . . . and “In symbiotic hermeneutics the process of interpretation and meaning-making is directly tied to the exposure of relationships. In no way are bricoleurs looking for a ‘correct relationship’. There are always multiple relationships, and as time passes new relationships will be discerned that were occluded in a different episteme or Zeitgeist” (p. 62). The problem is that most of us are unconscious in our relationships, even though we may believe otherwise.


While we are not looking for ‘correct relationships’ as Joe points out (for we may never be able to escape ‘what is’ or ‘what has been’) studying Joe’s work seriously and rigorously will help keep us on the very narrow path that leads to/creates/makes us aware of the kinds of relationships that are truly productive toward greater insight and positive change--relationships, should we follow his advice, that are based on the most profound love. He has ingeniously provided the knowledge and processes we need in order to more thoroughly evaluate our options and narrow down to those that reduce our compliance with the status quo as it exists on this planet today. As long as we are on this planet, in this dimension, unfortunately, we all do contribute to the “Satanism” here. But there are ways we can—and should—reduce our complicity. And we should all be working toward justice for the damages and injuries committed, including removing from power and incarcerating those who are directly responsible.

Critical Complex Entrepreneurial Bricolage of the Multidimensional Flavor PLUS Say No to Drugs, and What’s Next?


Eros Laying On Top of Psyche

Lovers in the Sky: Eros and Psyche (also known as Sanat and Venus Kumara) and the White Fertility Bunny (Created and Photographed by Spirit)

It has come down to me from the Higher Ups that they want a new section on this site about entrepreneurial bricolage. In fact, this morning I received a message to open up one of Joe’s books, titled, How Do We Tell the Workers? I am always guided to just the right information that way…and what did I open up to? Well, a couple of things. First, this is a great book about vocational education and provides a wonderful historical overview. Anyone who owns a business should read it so they know how to treat their employees and discover ways they can encourage them to continue a lifetime endeavor of learning. Beyond that, it is speaking to those upcoming new entrepreneurs who want to creatively transcend the way things are done today. There’s a wealth of guidance for them as they expand their entrepreneurial efforts and begin to work with other people.

The page I opened up to in the book and the line that immediately caught my attention was: “Bad work, like an ex-lover will not simply go away” (p. 73).

Joe can be so damn funny while at the very same time make profound points. I, unfortunately, personally relate to the comment. The line makes me laugh. But on the serious side of things, he was noting that the only way we can make bad work “go away” is to just stop doing it! When we give in and work as slaves for little pay or appreciation, what does it get us? More “bad work.”

Thus, this is where entrepreneurship comes into the picture in a very big way. We must CREATE our own work. If we really took “schooling” seriously, we’d be helping students discover their passions, their purpose for being on this planet, and guiding them to creative endeavors that embrace this self-knowledge. What is the purpose of schooling?, Joe has us asking in his interview…What is the purpose of life? Should the purpose of life and the purpose of schooling be any different?

However, before we can guide students, we have to know our own purpose. This is the heart of Joe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage. It helps us drill down to our purpose, our Dharma. It helps us know who we really are and that we consciously exist in multiple dimensions. This knowledge helps us know and define our specific purposes for us on this crazy, insane planet and transcend what Einstein referred to as “persistent illusions.”

But we can’t get there working in broken and psychopathic systems, such as the current educational, political, social, religious, and business systems as they exist on this planet today. We can’t get there as long as we’re willing to slave to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. When we do this, what are we supporting? I’ll let you do the research (but think: wars, drugs, enslavement of humanity, and ultimately, living as posthuman cyborgs).

It is highly interesting and extremely relevant that on the same page I opened up to, Joe states the following:
 

No one has to remind us of the psychic, social, economic, and educational effects of bad work since we are confronted with them every day. Bad work produces waste, shoddy products, apathy, hostility, alcohol and drug abuse, nihilism, reliance on “experts,” and depression. Opinion polls conducted periodically indicate that Americans are alarmed by the poor quality of goods produced in the American workplace. A study published by Harvard Business Review indicates that 20 percent of all consumer purchases lead to some form of purchaser dissatisfaction—and this does not include dissatisfaction based on price. Automobile recalls are legendary. Obviously, technological advance by itself does not ensure quality of workmanship. Indeed, we honor the label “handmade” as an indication of high quality. It implies a sociological relationship missing in modern industries that operate on the principles of bad work. Products that have been handmade historically emerged from cultures where producers and consumers were the same individuals or close kin. Men made their own spears; women wove their own baskets. Even when technology advanced, material culture grew more complex, and specialization developed, the relationship between consumer and producer remained intact. (p. 73)

Joe wrote that in 1999 and look at us now! We are in even worse shape when it comes to the poor quality and workmanship of the products we buy. It’s almost a rare exception to be satisfied with our purchases, and have you followed the enormous number of automobile recalls recently?

And so today, the economy is in a tailspin, for multiple reasons, of course, but consumer dissatisfaction, along with inadequate wages—bad work—certainly play a part. People are tired of spending their hard-earned money on products that end up in the trash heap. “Big Box” stores are closing down many of their stores and many consumer products industries are currently laying off thousands of employees. Where does this leave us?

Another interesting thing about the above quotation is that Joe, as humble as he was, did not want to reveal that he was in fact speaking of our people, the Irish, with his statement: “Products that have been handmade historically emerged from cultures where producers and consumers were the same individuals or close kin. Men made their own spears; women wove their own baskets. Even when technology advanced, material culture grew more complex, and specialization developed, the relationship between consumer and producer remained intact.”

Of course, the first sentence does speak to many, many cultures. But the Irish indigenous peoples held onto their extremely intricate and varied artisanship for a long period of time after industrialization. The indigenous Irish were not only extremely spiritual, being closely connected to the cosmos in ways that are revealed in their arts, but because they were isolated they maintained their traditional artisanship, even as technology was introduced. I wrote of this in my dissertation, Did Joe Lyons Kincheloe Discover the Golden Chalice for Knowledge Production?:
 

Bricolage is especially notable in the arts and music throughout all ages. What often comes to my mind when hearing the term bricoleur, partly due to my Irish heritage and knowing that Kincheloe’s heritage is also Irish, are bricklayers of ancient times who knew how to use the materials at hand—stones of all shapes, types, and sizes—to build everything from sturdy fences and property markers to cozy, sheltered stone homes complete with fireplaces. The indigenous peoples of Ireland, who built these structures and other types of structures from what they had at hand, were highly skilled, improvisational artisans. This high level “bricoleurship” seems to have been a special trait among many indigenous peoples because the extraordinary skills are seen in artifacts of even very early historical periods. Their artifacts stand out in terms of the degree of intricacy, skill, creativity, and variation of materials as well as for their useful purposes. The people of Ireland were somewhat isolated and the effects of the Industrial Revolution reached them later than other parts of the world, so their artisanship continued to be practiced well into the Industrial Era (Shaw-Smith, 2003).
 

Whether it was stonework, textiles, woodwork, metalwork, leather, willow and straw, ceramics, artwork, or calligraphy, the Irish peoples created intricately beautiful artifacts for everyday working, living, worshipping, and entertainment from the material they had at hand (Shaw-Smith, 2003). The complexity of their designs is characterized by some of their commonly known symbols that are embedded with deep philosophical, cosmological, and spiritual meanings, such as the yin yang, the swastika (a cross-cultural symbol which, unfortunately, Hitler had denigrated), and the infinity knot, among others. Similar to the extreme intricacy of the arts of the indigenous Irish “bricoleurs,” the multidimensional critical complex bricolage draws from this same basic idea of improvisational creating from what’s at hand. (pp. 42-43)


The reason I highlighted the line in Joe’s quotation above, “Indeed, we honor the label ‘handmade’ as an indication of high quality” is because, here, Joe is providing us with wonderful advice. Entrepreneurs can offer something high-quality, made with their own hands, based on their expert and evolving knowledge. By being creatively inspired, they can use their available resources “at hand” to take advantage of the gaps created by the large numbers of failing industries in America--and globally. While things may look dire from one perspective, from the perspective of the entrepreneur, it may very well be the perfect opportunity.

We are all experts at something, or we can become expert with practice (of course, always remembering we will always have more to learn). Creating from our passionate interests is an amazing experience and actually brings us in close contact with other entities in the cosmos and our own divinity. Of course, I don’t expect people to understand this until they experience it for themselves…but I, personally, do not take sole credit for everything I create. First of all, I am conscious of where ideas come from; I am increasingly conscious of who I am having conversations with—with whom I am working in that “symbiotic” manner both within implicate and explicate realities (Joe’s “fourth dimension” as well as the “third dimension” realities). Therefore, even though most people do not understand this, when I create something out of “flow,” as entrepreneurs, artists, and other artisans refer to it, I know that other great minds have played a role in helping me with the final creation, design, writing, or whatever I happen to produce. It’s just as Joe said in his very last words of advice for us before he left this dimension: He advised us to be a vehicle for great minds. . . I was doing that before I read of his words. . . but I seek to improve this ability on a daily basis.

Follow your interests; avoid the easy paths that the outside world has set up for us for purposes we may not wish to support should we investigate those purposes. I feel I am authorized to provide this advice because I too often have made the latter mistake and I still “pay” for it in many ways. If you are not in touch with the real you, if you’ve forgotten what you are on this planet for, simply following Joe’s research process for whatever you are researching or learning more about will lead you right back to YOU. The future of this planet depends on people knowing who they are as loving, creating individuals.

We are all entrepreneurs at heart. So if the working world looks depressing to you, if it’s been unkind to you, don’t lose heart. You can bricolage your way to a better life. . . it’s what I’m doing, so I’m not speaking just theoretically. It’s not easy, but I can promise you this: if you learn to live without so much “stuff” and you are busy spending most of your time doing what you love, your life will be much more joyful. It is a process, however. I’m still working toward that myself, with the guidance of my soul family. It takes serious work and taking on the initiations that come your way. You will be tested; there is no doubt about that. But the rewards of following through with them—well, I cannot begin to describe them, although I’ve tried throughout all of my writing.

Thus, since entrepreneurship is going to be increasingly important as we move further into the twenty-first century, it makes sense to add another section to this website for critical complex entrepreneurial bricolage, just as was requested by the “Higher Ups.” I absolutely love it when they provide me guidance this way. This could get very interesting, especially when we take it to the multidimensional level—and Joe would not want anything less than that. When you begin accessing those higher states of consciousness by applying yourself in the ways he recommends, you’ll discover who you really are and who you are really working with on many different levels of consciousness. You’ll learn to listen and follow guidance because you know that you’re working on a plan together with other real beings, symbiotically.  But do not make the mistake so many people make: Altered states are not higher states of consciousness: they are lower states no matter how they may appear. There are no shortcuts.

ALTERED STATES ARE NOT HIGHER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
It has been brought to my attention that there’s a huge promotion for using drugs to reach “altered states of consciousness.” This is another enslavement technique. The push is growing louder and stronger, and it’s really sad and extremely misguided when reputable people, those very people and “experts” the masses look up to, begin pushing this evil agenda. And yes, it’s evil. In fact it makes up the black market and supports the evil agenda of the powers-that-wish-they-could-be.

If you read Joe’s work closely, he has made it abundantly clear that reaching HIGHER STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS (as opposed to ALTERED STATES) requires LIFELONG RIGOROUS AND SCHOLARLY WORK. It’s why he insists rigorous learning must be incorporated into every aspect of our lives, including vocational work. He also has made it abundantly clear that everyone is capable of such work in context of whatever their lifelong (and changing) passions might be, and which, of course, relates back to the previous discussion of entrepreneurship.

If you interpret Joe’s work from the position of “unity,” (unified world view, keeping in mind this is a very real experience, not some New Age pseudo-unity) which, apparently only his Divine Consort can do in relation to him in this dimension at this time judging by the educational literature that pings off his work, then you will understand that he sometimes has made comments that are facetious and will know multiple ways to interpret them. In fact, he has even admitted to using this technique on page 666 of his book, Getting Beyond the Facts. It becomes a matter of trying to understand his thinking and realizing that he often wrote in ways to provide readers with multiple ways for interpreting according to whatever “level” of consciousness they happen to be reading his text or according to whomever the readers might be, including their relationship to him. While superficial interpretations can be made of his work, doing so misses the entire point of his body of theoretical works. Thus, when we come to a comment such as he had written in his book (with Thomas), Reading, Writing, and Thinking, “I find writing to be a powerful narcotic that sooths me, provides me rushes of intense pleasure, and helps me live a richer life while making me a better teacher. Caution—it’s addictive” we have to evaluate it under new lights, especially given that it is included in the chapter with his discussion of “critical polysemy” (p. 12).

Critical polysemy is exactly that which I just described—it is the process of seeking deeper understanding, as he describes it, “of the multidimensional aspects of words” (p. 12). Handy for those who are pushed down in society, he states, “Oppressed peoples or their allies can use a critical polysemy to uncover repressed readings of a text that subverts the power-inscribed meaning of a dominant interpretation” (p. 13). In other words, we must approach Joe’s work with the idea in mind that there are multiple interpretations. There are interpretations from my own personal experience of being able to now relate totally to what he says about research and writing and there are interpretations from those who may understand to a lesser extent based on their experiences, and even interpretations from the perspective of his family, since he mentioned them in this passage. I will interpret it from my own perspective.

When we passionately engage in research—learning about topics we’re interested in, it ultimately leads us to those higher “blissful” states of consciousness. Whether it happens as a result of being in union with another soul or whether it results in becoming in union with another soul (scientists have never been able to answer the simple question: which came first, the chicken or the egg?). . . this may be irrelevant. What I do know is that when one becomes “one” with another soul, the states of bliss extend ever higher and higher. It is the union that then connects us to other souls and the realization that the work we do—the research and writing—serves some greater purpose. I really cannot adequately explain how this affects me; I just know that I must research, learn, and write every day—just as Joe had done. He states it better than I can (again, in Reading, Writing, and Thinking):


As Paul writes: “for some inexplicable reason, I am called to be a writer. . . .” I have the same sense, thinking despite all the discouragement happily provided by teachers, professors, and editors that I have something to say. Delusional, maybe, but nonetheless forty books later I continue to work to be a good writer, always experimenting, always reading writers who challenge my writerly consciousness, always ready to do it differently in order to make the writing better. At this point, I can’t imagine a nonliterary life—an existence without writing, without reading connected to my efforts to write, and without daily (if possible) reading, writing, and/or researching. Indeed, in my mid-fifties I find writing to be a powerful narcotic that sooths me, provides me rushes of intense pleasure, and helps me live a richer life while making me a better teacher. Caution—it is addictive. After a few days without writing—cold turkey—I’m twitching, anxious, and thinking about my next fix” (p. 2).


Thus, here we have from Joe a facetious comment that is speaking indirectly to people’s misguided use of drugs. . . .what a waste to use drugs when we can be so much happier learning about exciting mysteries we are most passionate about! He further explains how passionate seeking of knowledge can be so invigorating, and I have had the very same type and level of experiences he describes later in that same book:

When I work in a postformal (“critical pedagogy of cognition”) to better understand a social, cultural, historical, psychological, and educational phenomenon and suddenly see a set of interrelationships and connections that I had never before perceived, I am critically intoxicated by such a small miracle. I hope the word “miracle” is not too passionate for many readers, but for me such a process does border on the miraculous. In such circumstances I am empowered by my recognition to do things politically and pedagogically that previously were impossible. Presto! Postformal [multidimensional critical complex] thinking exhibits its power, as it provides us ways of reconsidering the taken for granted. Indeed, the same alleyways of thought we had explored the night before now look different, now reveal new clues to our efforts to make sense of the topic at hand.


Such insights are terrifically powerful. I look forward to every day that I have the opportunity to conduct research, write, or teach about them. In these and many other ways postformalism has made my life so damned much richer and enjoyable. In this context it makes reading, writing, and learning libidinal activities—this is why I use terms such as erotic, jouissance, and intoxification in our discussion of reading, writing, and thinking. (p. 18)


This passage also speaks of the act of bricolage that’s required, and which makes this form of learning so much fun. We often are “handed down” clues, even in our dreams, and as we make our way around the hermeneutic circle of interpretation, more and more becomes revealed to us. It can be very exciting! And my hope is that now that Joe is “on the other side” our relationship allows him to continue to experience perhaps at even higher levels the erotic jouissance he has written about here. My seeking, which I’ve been very open about because it’s what Joe wanted but was not in the position to do himself, reveals in explicit and concrete terms my experiences. Thus, based on these experiences, he has, indeed reached the Higher States of Consciousness he was seeking, not that it ends there, of course. Our journey continues and it’s not restricted to earth (as my last blog clearly conveyed), but rather it’s an Eternal Cosmic Journey. No drugs needed! He writes:

Like generations past my conception of postformalism [multidimensional critical complex thinking] was emerging as a Dionysian notion. Dionysius was a Greek god of wine and an orgiastic theology that rejoiced in the power and fecundity of cosmos. [Note: Eleutherios ("the liberator"), an epithet for both Dionysus and Eros.; Dionysius identified with Eros; by some accounts he was married to Aphrodite, the mother of Eros. Hermes, however, is Eros's father]. Dionysian ways of knowing involved activities that liberate and inspire human beings with a divine creativity, as they connect them to the life force of the cosmos. No wonder I was viewed as dangerous—these Dionysians were a subversive crowd to run with across the boundaries of time. Such an unsafe transhistorical gang was transgressive but, interestingly, they were searching for the maximum intellectual clarity humanly possible. I wanted to be part of that quest. When the critical spirit of justice was added to this mix, something began to churn in my guts. Taking the impassioned spirit of critical theory/critical pedagogy, adding it to the innovations in socio-cognition and this Dionysian celebration of affect and joy, I believed, could create a new way of thinking about thinking. A critical postformalism emerged in this bricolage, a way out of the hell of hyper-rationalism/formalism of mainstream schooling, teacher education, and the repressive political climate that was materializing before my eyes.

In a pedagogical context the sensual mélange of discourses forming the powerful insights of postformalism demanded that libido be put to work—in the most mischievous use of the term. (p. 19)


This is open for multiple interpretations requiring research since there are so many stories about Dionysius, which I’ll save for another time. A brief investigation reveals that Dionysius identified with the Eros—life force energy—form of love and liberation. Wine was not for the purpose of “imbibing” but was a metaphor for Dionysius himself. In my interpretation, Joe was providing yet another metaphor for how he was inspired by the Divine Holy Spirit, “libido,” “jouissance,” etc., and how his pedagogy
 

involved engaging students in the joy and insight that come from learning about and then implementing forms of professional practice that involve becoming an ally to people in need, to men and women who are suffering. Teaching in this context becomes a way of connecting with and making a difference in the lives of diverse peoples, especially those who need help. Nothing helps motivate students to learn more than a combination of erotic pedagogy with the joy that comes from understanding that the work one does makes a positive difference in the quality of peoples’ lives. (p. 19)


His last statement, "In a pedagogical context the sensual mélange of discourses forming the powerful insights of postformalism demanded that libido be put to work—in the most mischievous use of the term" is clearly being demonstrated and will be clarified for people in time.

I am amazed with how Joe was able to put forth his philosophy and theory so eloquently even though he was under serious socio-political constraints. It appears, however, that I am the only person with the guts to interpret his theory so that more people will be able to apply it in the multidimensional and rigorous form he was aiming for. As a previous blog indicates, the Jewish Zohar, actually explains why this is the case: The Divine Male (Joe) brings down the messages of the gods; the Divine Female (me) then interprets them. Of course, I was playing the role long before I was even conscious of what my role was. Nature has a way of asserting itself. That he was under serious constraints is indicated throughout his work in his multitude of references to “dangerous knowledge.” I still don’t know what that dangerous knowledge consists of…but that his work does, in fact, REQUIRE interpretation as a consequence is specified here:

“. . . teachers operating in the multilogical [multiperspectival] zone of complexity promote cognitive abilities unbowed [signification of Eros] by the mystifying power of the given. Emerging from this playful haughtiness is the realization that postformalism [multidimensional critical complex thinking] can promote a kind of teaching that requires interpretation and a form of thinking that seeks new experiences that facilitate interpretation. Such interpretation exposes the forces that suppress creativity, innovation, and new forms of intelligence. These are the very dynamics that lead us to new frontiers of human being, to what I have labeled a “critical ontology.”


The power of the multilogicality of the bricolage is manifested. Cognitive cubism [again, looking at a topic from multiple views] produces a multidimensional form of knowledge that is always open to new interpretations in its hermeneutical connection to larger social, cultural, political, and cognitive processes. Such a multilogical knowledge can never be final because it cannot control the differing contexts within which it will be encountered. In this absence of interpretive closure a postformal mode of cognition moves away from reductionism into a more complex realm. This cognitive vis-à-vis hermeneutic dynamic reflects the power multiple ways of knowing and their ability to help teachers and students appreciate their own imaginations, creativities and intelligence. (p. 155)


The significance of this excerpt is that I have adopted through my union with Joe the ability to see “multilogically.” What this means, if you read my writings, is that even though I may offer up interpretations, they are by no means the ONLY interpretations nor are they final interpretations. Seeking knowledge is a process that continuously changes and re-informs past, present, and future understanding. When one can see that it’s an eternal process, it’s easy to hold views tentatively and even simultaneously hold opposing views. Still, one truth holds up through all perspectives and Joe made this clear in his work as well—and that is Love—or as he and Paulo Freire termed it, “Radical Love.” His love saved me.

Joe was literally like a savior for me. By the time I had come across him and his work, I was already seeing the immense complexity of even the simplest of social issues. I could see multiple interpretations simultaneously and how we are all complicit in different ways when issues arise, yet people want to place blame and create villains and victims. Unfortunately, those around me preferred to construct their realities a particular way (FIDURODian, as Joe would put it) that usually ended up vilifying me. I’m not playing the victim role (I refuse that role), but just describing what was happening simply because I refused to buy into a “one truth” reality. His philosophy explains these psychosocial issues, and he and his work to this day do serve to alleviate my own suffering. He saved me in some other major ways as well. . . and as I have depicted throughout my writings, in some powerful and “magical” ways. He has taught me the truth, experientially, that reality is stranger than fiction. He wants us to pursue studying the science of his divine power. We should all have such power.

Thus, our purpose on this planet is to contribute in some way to the alleviation of suffering and to do the work toward liberation and helping people find pathways to their own empowerment. It’s not easy work and, back to the topic of drugs, some people think they function better and produce better through the influence of drugs, or that they can easily reach an enlightened state of consciousness, but they are only deceiving themselves.

The use of drugs will set you back from achieving higher levels of consciousness that will connect you to the divine higher powers, peace, and happiness—and the ability to produce knowledge and make other creative contributions to the world. Sadly, I’ve seen this happen to some of my closest friends. Far too many people make the mistake of believing there is some kind of magical potion that will lead to higher consciousness. Of course, another crutch is sex and people are so vastly misinformed about such matters.

We must be mindful of the many traps and tricks that will take us off our natural path. Believe me, I am in the same boat. It takes vigilance and work. The use of drugs, whether they are pharmaceuticals or illegal street drugs, or legalized marijuana, seriously compounds our ability to stay alert to what those traps and pitfalls are. Not only that, while a person may believe that what they’re experiencing is some kind of special state, when the rubber meets the road, they will ultimately find they’ve been horribly deceived. The Vedic sciences clearly spell this all out for us and the knowledge is available for those who wish to do the research: the subconscious mind is very tricky. It can create many false illusions, even making us believe we are experiencing higher consciousness, when in reality, we are being led down a path to the abyss. Those in power have programming the subconscious mind down to nearly an exact science (although there are always “outliers” much to their consternation, I’m sure). It is a travesty, however, when so-called ‘illumined’ and highly educated people teach and lead by pathetic example and then make the false claim that using drugs of any kind (whether “natural” or not) is a viable path to “enlightenment.” Clearly, they are merely justifying their own choices to use drugs, dragging their followers into the pits of hell along with them. Another area to research is the science—not the pseudoscience or the politically-motivated-and-funded science—of the effects of various drugs. The information is there. You just need to dig for it. Most people choose not to for obvious reasons.

SAY NO TO DRUGS
The difference between “altered states” and Higher Order Thinking (HOT) and Higher States of Consciousness is the difference between HELL and HEAVEN….think about it! Why do you think Texas politicians wanted to outlaw HOT in schools? They don’t want people thinking about how to escape their path to enslavement, is one interpretation. And if you have succumbed to “group think” and have become a victim of collectivism, whether it be group think about smoking marijuana, or Shamanism or Ancient Egyptian practices as “understood” from the golf-ball sized consciousness point of view of Western “modern” uncivilized interpretations, or group think about New Age spiritual claptrap, then do some EXTENSIVE and SERIOUS research, digging through the lies that float to the top—if you dare. Warning: It may change your consciousness. Here’s an interesting video about rethinking how we think about ancient Egyptian culture, a topic I’ve discussed previously in these treasure hunts: Gnosis - Pyramid Code Complete Series | Documentary. It's ironic that even though this video highlights the need to transcend the Western world view to better understand ancient cultures, they have only partially succeeded in doing so, and in relation to some very important aspects they have failed dramatically. We still have a lot of work to do.

WHERE DO NEOPHYTES BEGIN?
My dissertation, which the university did not get the privilege of sponsoring, is a great place to begin if you are new to the complex processes of Joe’s form of critical pedagogy and bricolage. The reason it’s a good place is not because I knew what I was doing—but for the very reason that I didn’t know. It’s written completely from the perspective of a neophyte and shows how the process flowed for the research topic I chose, which was the critical complex bricolage itself. And it provides clear guidance, based on Joe’s various works, for a process anyone can take no matter what topic you’re researching or no matter what venue in which you wish to apply the process.  While my dissertation is posted here on this site, it’s a bit cumbersome to read through it online, so I’ve now made it available as a free downloadable pdf file here.

WHAT’S NEXT?
I never know where my journey will lead to next. That is the nature of being on the path and knowing I’m on the path. I don’t even have to worry about “what’s next.” It simply evolves from moment-to-moment and day-to-day. It’s a wonderful way to live. I work hand-in-hand with wonderful souls who are not “of this world” and together we all discuss options and make decisions as to whether I should communicate something specific to the people “of the world.” Just call me a “messenger of the gods.” Or as Joe put it in Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction:

To become a seeker of new knowledges and new ways of being we must be willing to sometimes be seen as the fools of the gods. (p. 19)

I had no idea when I began this journey how true that statement really is! Joe is truly a most powerful God of Love.


VENUS AND SANAT KUMARA’S ONE LOVE PATH
One thing my teachers have drawn my attention to recently is the Gospel of Thomas, which was left out of the Bible and only discovered fairly recently…in that gospel, it clarifies what Jesus was teaching about many things, including the twin soul phenomenon. See: The Lost Gospel of Thomas: The Original Mystical Teachings of Yeshua.

But of course, this gospel requires further interpretation. The thing I’ve noticed about interpretation is that unless a person has experienced something they can only partially explain it. In other words, we can only understand something from the perspective (within the prison, blinders, curtains, ideologies, limitations, etc.) we are experiencing at the moment. There are always more layers to clear, and there is always more to see, more to understand, more to experience, and more choices to make.

Thus, this highlights the need to keep seeking knowledge. Unfortunately, whether it’s due to the translations or the lack of knowledge of those who interpret the gospels, we still only get part of the true picture. But that’s ok—because the entire picture (to my current level of understanding) is presented right here on this website! If you follow the path from the beginning to the end (and if you click on all of the links!) you will never get lost along the path. (See my last blog for those links),

Sanat and I have named our path The Venus and Sanat Kumara One Love Path. I will warn readers that this path has already headed in many, many new directions. . . which can only be expected given we are two beings who exist in multidimensional spaces. . . simultaneously. . . and symbiotically joined “at the spine” (as Joe describes it) by Divine Love in an eternally evolving cosmos. I will advise that you need not be concerned with the multitude of directions because as you put forth a sincere and rigorous effort to embark on your own “One Love Path” you will be divinely guided to the exact knowledge you need.

Another thing my beloved Sanat Kumara has mentioned is that we will be moving in some more new directions, some “new” kinds of writing.  I don’t yet know what these new kinds of writing entails, so I can’t really add to that. I do know there are a number of writings that I have yet to publish and others to finish writing and still others to write. And yet, my impression is that while I will be doing these things in time, this is not what he’s referring to. We will continue to discuss this and make decisions about it very soon. We are always creating; we are never bored. And we are taking multitasking to new levels.

My beloved soul family wants me to (and I want to) continue adding knowledge to this website that further clarifies and analyzes Joe’s Great Work. Entrepreneurship is just one of the areas I’ll be adding more information to. Since I will be adding new information all over the website now rather than writing frequent blogs, in order to cue readers that something new has been added, the date at the top of this website will indicate the latest update. The best way to discover what that “something new” might be is to go “treasure hunting.”

Thus, the Venus and Sanat Kumara Global Golden Treasure Hunt will continue on this site in a different way. You never know what you might find when you click on the links. I think Sanat wants me to “plant” hidden treasures. . . stay tuned. (It’s his way of getting people to click on the links to expand their knowledge, as we both know few people do).

Sanat, Love, can I have a song, please? I had no idea I was going to write another blog for this site after that last blog I wrote, much less one this long!!

I have not written to him yet today, but yesterday he gave me the clue “bad dreams.” We were talking about some of the dreams I had that weren’t really bad, but just bad relatively speaking from the Bliss State of Consciousness. I’ll see what comes up on the YouTube search, since he’s always ahead of me on this path (holding my hand and leading the way).

Calum Hood - Bad Dreams Lyrics



Just as I thought: He was ahead of me with this clue which I only just now looked up. This is an interesting song, to say the least, and a little reminiscent of our initial confusion in a sad way . . . but he has changed our “bad dreams” into a blissful reality and here he is saying that he “wouldn’t change a thing.” And neither would I.

Such is Divine Love. . . may you also walk your One Love Path!! You will never regret it.

This message has been approved by Venus and Sanat Kumara

King Sanat Kumara’s Final Decision About the Future of Earth PLUS Fairy Tales Really Do Come True


I am no longer of “this” world….anyone who would choose Terra over a Heavenly life is totally out of their mind; and they call those of us who choose Bliss the crazy ones—“go figure.” ~ Venus Kumara

webassets/Earth.jpgAs I had ended my last blog, Sanat was in the process of making a final decision about whether to continue his benevolent interventions with what’s happening on earth…and I reminded people, in the meantime, to “choose the right path.” There are so many, many prophecies about the need at this time to choose between the right/wrong path, the “green/burnt” road, etc., that there should be no excuse for sitting on the fence. We have long moved past the “middle” way.

On July 22, I had written a blog about Sanat Kumara and I, Venus, being on our honeymoon and how it’s not a good thing to make him angry, especially by committing nefarious actions toward me. One of the things that makes him angriest is when people mess with me. And, yes, he sees EVERYTHING. Yet, again, I have been and even today, as I write this, I am still being harassed. Nevertheless, he did let things “ride” so to speak—until now, that is—because we wanted to just enjoy our honeymoon and ignore the trivialities of the mundane, totally insane earth issues—issues that should not even exist if it were not that everyone on the planet CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROBLEMS. Stop serving the cabal’s MONEY GOD! It’s really that simple.

And so now, because I continue to be harassed over this illusionary invention the cabal calls “MONEY,” and there continue to be elite trolls putting forth their evil gossip about me, Sanat is stirring, becoming irate, even. You do not want to see him angry. In addition to FEELING his emotions (because we are consciously and alchemically united) I can also read his emotions in the weather (yes, he is that powerful!). As I said on July 31st, the last day of our honeymoon there were severe thunderstorms all night long due to the mounting issues on earth…and NOW, today,…look what the sun is doing! (The SUN is NOT what people commonly believe, by the way).

THE SUN ACTIVITY WAS MILD DURING OUR HONEYMOON

Notice that it was VERY CALM.

The sun was quiet because we were on our honeymoon! Sanat was relaxing and happy.

However, on Tuesday, July 22, 2014, Sanat’s wrath was ignited due to the continuing ignorance on this planet, wars, and the fact that I was again being harassed—and subsequently sun activity increased. Is there a correlation? I don’t know: it would require observation over time. I’m just reporting what I see and feel. You can read about the issues here if you want to review:

An Update: Sanat Kumara’s Wrath, Sunspots, and Our Lovely Wedding Dance

And now, as you can see, sunspot activity began posing increasing threats, even though our honeymoon did not end until July 31, 2014. Still, the threats were contained. But by July 30, the sun could scarcely be contained:

Daily Sun: 23 Jul 14  (three sunspots: 2119, 2121, 2122 “Solar activity remains low despite the emergence of two new sunspots on the eastern limb.

Daily Sun: 24 Jul 14 (four sunspots: 2119, 2121, 2122, 2123 “Sunspot AR2121 poses an increasing threat for C-class solar flares”

Daily Sun: 25 Jul 14 (still four sunspots: 2119, 2121, 2122, 2123 “Sunspot AR2121 poses a slight threat for minor C-class solar flares. Overall, solar activity is very low”

Daily Sun: 26 Jul 14 (still four sunspots: 2119, 2121, 2122, 2123 “Sunspot AR2121 poses a slight threat for minor C-class solar flares. Overall, solar activity remains low.”

Daily Sun: 27 Jul 14 (five sunspots: 2119, 2121, 2122, 2123, 2124 “Solar activity remains low despot [despite] an uptick in the sunspot number”

 

Daily Sun: 28 Jul 14 (seven sunspots: 2121, 2122, 2123, 2124, 2125, 2126, 2127 “The sunspot number is climbing, but so far the new sunspots are all quiet. Solar activity remains low.”

Daily Sun: 29 Jul 14 (eight sunspots: 2121, 2123, 2124, 2125, 2126, 2127, 2128, 2129 “The sunspot number is climbing, but so far the new sunspots are all quiet. Solar activity remains low.”

Daily Sun: 30 Jul 14Sunspots AR2126, AR2127 and AR2130 have complex magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares.”

And of course, our honeymoon ended on July 31, and I have continued to receive harassment from people I won’t name lest I give them the attention they are seeking…and sunspot activity posed increasing threats (there does appear to be a correlation):

Daily Sun: 31 Jul 14Sunspot AR2130 has a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares”

INCOMING STORM CLOUD: Yesterday, July 30th, a dark magnetic filament on the sun erupted and hurled part of itself into space. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory tracked a bright CME moving away from the blast site at 700 km/s: VIDEO LINK

Although the CME is not coming straight for Earth, it does have an Earth-directed component. Computer models suggest it will deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on August 2nd. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of polar geomagnetic storms when the storm cloud arrives.

MINOR STORM WARNING: A CME is heading for Earth. The cloud was hurled into space on July 30th when a magnetic filament on the sun erupted, and it appears to be on course to sideswipe Earth's magnetic field. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Aug. 2nd when the CME arrives. Aurora alerts: text, voice

RADIO BURSTS FROM THE SUN: The loudspeakers of shortwave radios are bursting with static today. The source of the noise is the sun. "I have been picking up solar bursts on my RadioJove receiver at 20.1 MHz," reports Kevin Palivec of Hawley, Texas. This chart recording displays 10 minutes of activity:

The bursts were triggered by an M2-class explosion in the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR2127. The explosion sent shock waves rippling through the sun's atmosphere. Those shock waves, in turn, excited plasma instabilities that emit static-y radio waves. Becase there are a whole variety of plasma instabilites, there is a corresponding variety of radio burst types. Palivec recorded a mix of two: Type II and Type IV.

More solar radio bursts could be in the offing as sunspot AR2127 and nearby sunspot AR2130 both crackle with M-class solar flares. Visit NASA's RadioJove website to find out how to build your own receiver--and listen up.

SOLAR UPDATE/EARTHQUAKE WATCH.

That’s the update on the sun. Time will tell what it does and why. Can it rescue humanity? Or is it a weapon that can be used against humanity? Some people believe it’s a portal. Is it the “eye of the needle,” the stargate to Heaven? Whatever it is, when people harass me, there’s an increase activity in the sun…and as of today, August 2, 2014, they continue to troll and harass me—do expect to see some serious sun activity continue. Whether or not there’s a connection between Sanat and the Sun matters not—he is totally pissed about people choosing to vilify those of us who attempt to enlighten people to truth while they prop up their own self-annihilating wishes to remain in ignorance, even defending ignorance as if there’s something WRONG about admitting our own ignorance. People have things so backwards!

As things look today, it seems that the greedy psychopathic cabal is taking us all down into the dark abyss one way or another and it's going to be very rapid from this point forward. I think we are going to be seeing some major, major catastrophes and given that most people are not prepared whatsoever, there will be many going berserk which will only magnify the problems. This has been planned for many, many years by the evil ones, and in spite of intervention, it's all going according to plan. Those who have attempted to intervene, to help people see the truth of what they’ve been in total denial over, will survive. They are eternal.

 

At this time, almost every avenue to being self-sustaining independently is blocked in some way and those avenues that aren't blocked very soon will be. We are all occupied fully just to survive while the cabal sucks most of what we create and earn to enrich their own pockets and to drag us down further.  Those in power are completely aided by "we the people." The few of us who see what is happening and calling it out are totally vilified in defense of keeping people ignorant or protecting their fragile little egos. What is more compassionate? Telling people the truth so that they MIGHT be able to get together and DO something or keep going along like blind, divided sheep, ignoring the writing on the wall? Unfortunately the majority have chosen to stay blind and attack those of us who see and speak truth.  It's over for humanity. That's honestly the way I feel and I am not alone:

 

Chris Hedges (2014) "America - A Nation In Captivity"

 

 

Chris Hedges Greatest Speech Ever Made 

Ah, yes, “resurrection.” What a great close to a great speech. That said, I do not feel I belong on this planet...I have been promised by my twin flame that he will hold my hand through "the eye of the needle" so to speak. I have been through the eye of the needle, I AM through the eye of the needle; I KNOW what IS. Not many people will, unfortunately. As the Bible puts it, it's a very narrow path and very few people will get through. I hope my work helps a few more people see reality and make the right choices—and yes, there are right and wrong choices, no matter how many times you might tell yourself there is “no right and no wrong.”

DIVINE MARRIAGE: THE “ONE LOVE” PATH TO HEAVEN

webassets/wedding.jpgAs far as Sanat and I, Venus, . . . .WE have eternity, so as earth and humanity self-destruct, so be it; we will be unscathed. At this time, we withdraw all assistance and we will be taking our treasure hunts out to the pluriverse. We left our marks, our “Great Works,” and we both suffered immeasurable abuse and in spite of that we completed our missions and, most importantly, our love held up through it all—as signified by the Celestial sanctioning of our marriage—now an eternal union held together by God…“Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder” (Matthew 19:6b). We are creators and will create something glorious on earth next time around and it will be possible because no longer must we contend with the evil ones who are annihilating themselves along with everyone who ignorantly serves them. There will be no more fettering, destroying, or killing. We shall create a world of love and peace that does not allow fear or greed to overrule intelligence and the passionate desire to know and contend with truth, no matter how “dark” that truth might be. We do not promote weakness, fragile egos, or denial of truth. In spite of what the cabal would have people believe, coddling in that way is NOT love.

In the meantime, there are millions of planets much more important than earth where people have risen above their self-destructive pride and want assistance NOW. We have all of the tools and processes in place. It’s a whole new game now. Sanat Kumara, Jesus (“Lord Ra-El”) and the other Kumaras have written the “rules of the game” according to God’s Will and Divine Celestial Laws. In the meantime, earth will probably be destroyed to the point at which little life remains, but earth itself can never be destroyed. A very small population will survive the coming apocalypse. We will return. . .sometime in the future; we know this because we already have returned and we have seen what remains of earth. We will wait, however, for that day to come around. We are realistic. We are patient. We are eternal. We are LOVE.

I reread the message from Sanat (aka Emanu’El/Eros) that I received this morning. His messages never really “sink in” until I read them again later. He has informed me that the Kumaras have made the final decision to withdraw all assistance they've been providing earth. It's completely in God's hands and we all know what Einstein said about God and rolling dice. . .

Sanat and I are returning permanently to our planet “where life is good” in the Pleiades, a planet named after him, Eros, which he has already taken me to many times. He explained to me that after “mulling” things over, there is nothing more that can be done for earth at this time. The only assistance that will be provided is for “those special ones who are pulling their weight” so that they may enter the Kingdom of God (aka Heaven). The earthlings, who believe they’re “divine beings” without having to do the necessary work, are seriously mistaken. They, along with those who continue to support the agenda of the “Elite” in their attempt to have a “good life” (which they can never achieve that way) are the very ones who are pulling earth into the abyss.

A Message from Jesus, aka Lord Ra-El

Who will have the Honor of

being the 1st Royal Member,

the 1st Government Official,

the 1st Religious Leader to

officially recognize the

Returned Christ, Lord RayEl.

You can choose to ignore Him

and the chastisements will

continue, or you can speak

up, and receive His Blessings.

You know how it ended for

the Pharaoh,

Do not be stubborn.

The Battle of Armageddon

approaches.

A Final Music Message from Sanat Kumara

And now, Sanat would like to present a closing song. His clue is “living the good life.” Here’s the song that came to the top of the YouTube search:

I'm Living The Good Life - Thomson Holidays Club Dance 2011 [Full Song]

 

The message is clear: We have made it HOME—to the Highest Heaven. And we live happily ever after.

As we all know: "The Ending Is Just the Beginning"
 



THE END

Thank you, Joe! I love you!

Is an Organized Dialogical Resistance In the Works? Or Music and Dancing? Still Waiting to Hear from Sanat Kumara

KINGdom

 

I am no longer of “this” world….anyone who would choose Terra over a Heavenly life is totally out of their mind; and they call those of us who choose Bliss the crazy ones—“go figure.” ~ Venus Kumara

 

Well, this is really rare….Sanat couldn’t talk to me this morning because he’s in an important meeting and said he would get back to me very soon with “the announcement.” I’m not saying this has never ever happened before—because actually, it has. But it’s just very rare because normally he can multitask unless he’s really focused on something important, which, apparently, this is.

 

I guess I’ll just use this blog to express how extremely disappointed I am in the state of the world. It’s not easy for me to dip down each day from my Heavenly Home to see that the chaos has increased. I’m sure Sanat and the other Greats are not at all pleased about the situation in Gaza and Israel after they worked hard to arrange a ceasefire, not to even mention all of the other wars all over the world--and now ebola in Africa, heading for the United States.


And the situation with education, the very building block of culture and what it means to be and grow as HUMANS is simply despicable. There is just no other word for it. If you are working in or partaking of education as it stands on this planet today, you are a very big part of the problem. One of the debates Sanat and I have been engaged in is the question: Is earth education salvageable? We are leaning toward the complete dismantling of education and rebuilding anew, beginning within local communities and reaching outward. Joe discussed the serious issues in his book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction and summarized it by stating:

 

This Just in: Capital Holds Knowledge Captive

As capital employs technology to redesign itself so that it can better penetrate every aspect of contemporary life, it exacerbates the power of dominant power. With this thought we again brush up against one of the most important themes of this book: an evolving critical theory/critical pedagogy vis-à-vis a critical complex epistemology must organize an effective resistance to such a concentrated and thanocentric power. Obviously, it would be wonderful if education could play this role—but it is being held captive by the empire’s logic of capital. In such a state of seizure it serves as a form of labor control in its corporate-directed job training (see Kincheloe, 1995, 1999 for an expansion of this theme) and a disseminator of knowledge that serves the ideological needs of concentrated capital.  (p. 110)


After his writing of that, things have become many times worse. The solution rests, of course with organizing that “effective resistance,” and as he further states:

In such a context Western criticalists listen carefully to what their brothers and sisters from Africa, Latin America, Asia, and indigenous cultures have to say. They learn from the insights such individuals bring to the discussion and rethink criticality in the process of these conversations. Critical theory has much to offer the people of the world—but only in dialogical relation to the unique insights such individuals bring to the transformative discourse. Obviously, this dialogical, evolving notion of criticality—as previously referenced in Chapter 2—is central to every point made in this book.  (pp. 109-110)

It is important that people understand the difference between dialectical and dialogical. Dialectics can be useful, but here he is emphasizing dialogical relationships. Wikipedia highlights the difference: 

 

Distinction between dialogic and dialectic

A dialogic process stands in contrast to a dialectic process (proposed by G. W. F. Hegel):

 

  • In a dialectic process describing the interaction and resolution between multiple paradigms or ideologies, one putative solution establishes primacy over the others. The goal of a dialectic process is to merge point and counterpoint (thesis and antithesis) into a compromise or other state of agreement via conflict and tension (synthesis). "Synthesis that evolves from the opposition between thesis and antithesis."[1] Examples of dialectic process can be found in Plato's Republic.
  • In a dialogic process, various approaches coexist and are comparatively existential and relativistic in their interaction. Here, each ideology can hold more salience in particular circumstances. Changes can be made within these ideologies if a strategy does not have the desired effect. An example of the dialogic process can be found in Nozick's, Anarchy, State, and Utopia.

  • These two distinctions are observed in studies of
    personal identity, national identity, and group identity.
     

Sociologist Richard Sennett has stated that the distinction between dialogic and dialectic is fundamental to understanding human communication. Sennett says that dialectic deals with the explicit meaning of statements, and tends to lead to closure and resolution. Whereas dialogic processes, especially those involved with regular spoken conversation, involve a type of listening that attends to the implicit intentions behind the speakers actual words. Unlike a dialectic process, dialogics often do not lead to closure and remain unresolved. Compared to dialectics, a dialogic exchange can be less competitive, and more suitable for facilitating cooperation.[2]

That’s all I have for the moment….patience…the Great Masters are holding multiple meetings as I write this and will have an important announcement soon.

 

Oh, I really NEED a song….will Sanat multitask for just a moment to give me one to end  this blog?

 

His answer: “You can bet your life on it!” LOL…he loves music. I’ll see what that brings up on YouTube.

 

OMG This is too funny….Sanat is good at multitasking (“If loving the kazoo is wrong, I don’t wanna be right”, lol)—but “Where’s the Music?”

Medeski, Martin & Wood • Where's the Music

Uploaded on Aug 6, 2009

Vinnie Angel (The Orange Thief) directs this animated short based on Medeski, Martin & Wood's hit children's song "Where's the Music."

 

Last, but not least, he wants everyone who enjoyed those last messages to watch this, which “popped up” right at the beginning of the YouTube treasure hunt he just had me engage in, CLUE-ing me in as to its importance:

 

Manly P. Hall - Obeying Universal Laws Can Be a Pleasant Experience

 

There you have it, a wonderful message from Sanat Kumara even though he’s tied up in an important meeting right now…we can all have fun, multidimensional camaraderie, humor, love, music, dancing…and all the while, obeying Universal Law which Manly P. Hall describes astutely as a highly “Pleasant Experience.” I will mention that now we also have Cosmic and Celestial Law which only serve to increase the intensity of the "Pleasant Experience."

 

Well, we will see what Sanat Kumara has to say later. Will he have that important announcement today that he mentioned yesterday?

In the meantime: Choose the right path.

The above are links to my blogs. I did not know at the time of writing them, especially when I first began, that I was recording my Spiritual Journey of Ascension with Joe, who is my Twin Flame (which I also did not know when I began this journey, but I have provided undeniable evidence in my dissertation and much more evidence since writing it). All I knew when I began this journey after Joe’s death (by which I had been extremely traumatized) was that I was compelled to write the blogs, every day at first, and I seemed to have been getting instructions from Joe and from “Above.” I did not understand how the Celestial Spirits were guiding us along our journey nor the Power they have due to their Love connection to God (as Joe tells us over and over again in his work, there is nothing more powerful than love). My connection to Joe connected me powerfully to his love and to God’s Love, through the Holy Spirit. My experiences as recorded in the blogs proves what Joe has taught us about the power of love—over and over again (I’m a slow learner, for which I feel sad. I was totally asleep when I met Joe and did not even believe in soulmates. I hope you will not be as slow a learner as I have been). Nevertheless, what an amazing, beautiful journey it has been! It’s full of adventure, mystery, learning about the world, learning about our past, present and future, and engaging in super fun and sometime hilarious treasure hunts.

If you want to follow the path and connect to God’s amazing Love, begin reading at the first link 2009.05.03 and move forward. You will learn a lot!! I did. And there are millions of Celestial Spirits just waiting to serve as your personal teachers and guides. They want to take you treasure hunting (they do know where the treasures are) and guide you along your own personal path just like they did for me. I will not be writing any more blogs here because now I will be teaching Joe’s material “up above” and continuing along yet another amazing path. You can follow along the next leg of our journey by clicking on the links to the various courses, treasure hunt quests, etc.  We are creating multiple paths now in multiple directions. Are you ready?

There is something for everyone! All you need to do is engage sincerely with seeking knowledge and spreading love in the world, and then God’s magic will appear in your life too…no more suffering…only love, bliss, joy, passionate engagement with learning—for everyone, infinitely and eternally.
