Thrice-Greatest:
King Joe/Eros/Emanu’El Joe's educational work provides inspiration and practical guidance for teachers all over the globe and describes a
beautiful, beautiful mission to alleviate human suffering. He has left us a map with multiple
pathways for accomplishing that mission -- an authentic, rigorous, impassioned, creative, and
even magical education for everyone who dares to venture on untrodden paths. His work serves as
a guiding light for educational journeys that can change not only how we view and enact the educational
process, but that can also truly change us as teachers, students, and researchers -- and empower us to change the
world. Joe loved
research, teaching, writing, making music, and his students.
And his students loved him.
The idea that contemporary schools
might produce individuals excited about learning who produce unprecedented knowledges and pursue an eros that treasures higher levels of insight is an
absurd notion in the curriculum of thanatos. (Joe Kincheloe, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction,
p. 101)

Eros after "The
First Kiss": Emboldened
Psyche after "The First Kiss": Smitten
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?).
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)
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:
(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! EVEN 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.

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

THAT CENTER ON JOE KINCHELOE'S WORKS:
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.

2015 The Year of the Great Reveal and the Great Golden Global Treasure Hunt
I’ve been writing blogs on this site since 2009
which culminated (I thought) their first cycle in 2011 with hints of “The Great Reveal” Treasure Hunt. The
blogs then began to cover the relevance of Eros and Psyche for this era of great change, moving over to my other website,
www.ParadisPublications.com with true stories of my experiences as Psyche. Eros moved up from the 9th dimension to the 10th dimension
in 2011 as recorded in those blogs, and presumably, since we maintain our connections, I have on some level moved right along
with him. While these dimensions can have different names, the 10th dimension seems to represent the Cosmic level
of consciousness and the 11th dimension, Celestial levels of consciousness (and based on my phenomenological experiences
visiting even higher realms, I know they exist, but I don’t know their names; perhaps the next level is “Crystalline
Consciousness” or Diamond Consciousness).
There is much analysis yet to take place that can present a very deep and broad significance to the story of Eros
and Psyche of the Twenty-First Century. The account is very personal and at the same time, the complex concepts represented
apply across people and cultures. It extends far beyond the previous myths and how cultures have viewed them. In this N.E.W.
reality, they are not myths at all. Perhaps myths were never myths. The analysis, which is probably best presented in the
form Joe has suggested in his work as “fictive” accounts—which are much different than “fiction.”
They are true and yet require imagination, at least until such time everyone gets on the same page with these types of experiences.
They also require the ability to write what I have discussed previously, “memwahs.” Memwahs are written with access
to knowledge and experiences that emerge from DNA opening gates of stored knowledge; some people refer to it as access to
the Akashic records, but things are changing so we will be understanding these things differently. Scientists are only beginning
to learn about this process.
These processes will be a way of restoring truth and rebuilding reality. This will be highly needed in the upcoming
months when greater and greater numbers of the population will be feeling off-balance due to the flood of truth about reality
that shakes them to the core.
After writing about my Cosmic experiences and taking my knowledge to higher levels on my Paradis Publications website,
I returned to this website, again writing blogs. I keep thinking we are finished “ascending” but we moved on up
to what I refer to the “Celestial” level. I became intimately familiar with the higher gods such as Sanat Kumara,
the other Kumaras, Jesus/Sananda. and even the highest earth god, Enki. My soul family traveled with me, or perhaps a better
way to explain this is that they guided me upward—Hermes Trismegistus, Grandmother Portia, Sam Cooke, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
etc., who all work on the Kumara Initiation project—which Sanat and Venus Kumara (us) have given the title The Great
Golden Global Treasure Hunt and which I’ve written many blogs in preparation for this treasure hunt.
The Treasure Hunt is indeed global and if you follow
the world’s happenings you probably know all of the controversy about the gold. Who has the gold? The Treasure Hunt
will lead the way. Much like the movie and story The Wizard of Oz, the treasure hunt has us looking behind the curtains.
As I recently mentioned, the treasure hunts that have been covered in the blogs so far were my initiations. They will be continuing
on into the future with more and more people being initiated into treasure hunting.
In my travels, I have also learned of other people
who are working from the Celestial Levels on this Treasure Hunt project, including Princess Dianna, who is now also one of
the Kumaras. It is stated that there are seven Kumaras; however, because this is an era of Great Change and many people are
becoming more conscious, the numbers of Kumaras also increase.
Everyone continues to move upward at their own pace as the entire cosmos continues to move upward. In fact, I believe
that my home in the Pleiades, Planet Eros, has actually also moved up from the 9th dimension to the 11th
dimension. Earth is also moving up into higher dimensions and many people are experiencing the higher vibrations.
This is not an easy task for as we move up levels,
absolutely everything changes and we need to work at keeping our vibrations high while at the same time not closing our eyes
to the reality we may not wish to acknowledge. Our eyes are opened to new realities and this can be shocking to our systems.
Often these new realities are hard to accept. It’s painful to come to the awareness of how vastly we have been deceived
and how we have bought into that deception all of our lives. This causes us great suffering, but it doesn’t need to,
at least not for long. We can feel the pain and pass through the pain.
And probably those who will suffer most are those “fools” in FIDUROD that Joe wrote about in his book
(Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, p. 21). Have you solved that funny puzzle yet? It’shere, if you want to give it a go.
In relation to all of this, just yesterday I was informed: “And the humorous thing is that all of the fools
in FIDUROD will rapidly be exposing their own ignorance and less-than-divine motivations. They will have no choice, actually.
They can choose between being a fool or being a highly chastised fool. God’s wrath is quite large.” Here, we are
not referring to the ordinary person, but those entities who have not acted nor have they treated other people like human
beings. If you solve the puzzle, this will be very clear to you.
This year, 2015, will be the year that even more lies about earth reality will be exposed. The evil doers will expose
themselves because they are no longer able to hide behind curtains. This is the year that humanity as a whole becomes rudely
awakened to ever higher levels of truth and awareness. It will be a painful year, but at the same time it will be a year in
which more people will come to experience a new type of freedom. God and God’s representatives (the “gods,”
angels, archangels and all consciousnesses that have chosen the high path) have the power to intercede. This is where you
will see super-symbiotics, super-synchronicity, super-serendipity, super-synthesis, super-synergism, all kick into high gear.
We will move beyond taking all the credit for the great miracles ahead for ourselves. More of us will realize the many Great
Minds and Actions that transpire together to move the world toward the N.E.W. reality.
And when this all happens, when all of a sudden so
many eyes are opened to the lies that have sustained us over the years, the work is only just beginning. As the old world
phases out, the N.E.W. phases in and there is work and play for everyone.
Everything needs to be re-conceptualized, recapitulated, rewritten, re-created. Doing this hard work while minimizing
our suffering is the essence of Joe’s theoretical work and essentially what my blogs, demonstrations, rants & raves,
absurdities, and the sharing of my personal experiences have been all about. Using Joe’s carefully conceived theoretical
work, we are free to choose anything at all to work on. There is something for everyone so that we can all follow our most
passionate and personal interests which will keep us motivated through the entire duration of the hard work that’s ahead
of us to reconstruct reality in more truthful, humane, just, peaceful, and most of all—loving—ways.
The stories that are parroted all over the Internet
about the Nephilim are just one small example of something that needs to be re-conceptualized and reanalyzed. Here, in this
video below, Scotty Roberts is just beginning that process--and there are hundreds of other examples I could use, but this
one is close to my heart because I know intuitively and from my own personal memwahs that the true story of the Nephilim is
far more complex than any of the accounts put out yet today.
One of the biggest challenges that will need to be overcome is the human tendency to want
to simplify things. This will no longer be possible. And Joe’s guidance can help us seek understanding of the true complexity
of an infinite and expanding cosmos.
So Happy New Year! Happy Treasure Hunting! May 2015 be the Year of the Greatest Reveal yet!
P.S. Just spoke to my consort…he said that 2015 is going to be a “banner year.” Of
course, that’s got to be music! And yes, here’s what came right to the top of the YouTube search (he even bypassed
all of the YouTube ads!!)
This is actually a powerful message. The video is all black, dark, representing the darkness
of the topic. The song tells a story, and it’s a story that’s got Joe’s “golden strand of love”
woven into it [Note: He speaks of including a golden strand of love in his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy:
An Introduction]. Here are the lyrics:
Published on Feb 15, 2013
Banner Year by Five Iron Frenzy
A banner year 1864, don't want
the red man anymore, Can't have them taking up good land. Give them a token flag, trade pipes and shake
some hands, Tell them the white stripes stand for peace. Say if they raise red white and blue, Blue coats
will never shoot at you, But stripes will lose their sheen, Black Kettle was their chief, he only wanted
peace, Under the flag...a massacre at Sand Creek.
Wave your flag. Salivate. Stirring feelings of
pride and hate. A piece of cloth can't hold your faith.
No flag flies, no banner waves, See the empty
pole above his empty grave. No one knows where he lies, and no one know just why he had to die.
A
banner year 1868, a bitter end a twist of fate. Maps won't hold this melanoma, Blurry part of Oklahoma, Where Custer shot and killed Black Kettle.
Wave your flag. Salivate. Stirring feelings of pride and
hate. A piece of cloth can't hold your faith.
No flag flies, no banner waves, See the empty pole
above his empty grave. No one knows where he lies, and no one know just why he had to die.
A promise is a promise, A judge of character. His banner over me is love.
No flag flies, no banner waves, See the empty pole above his empty grave. No one knows where
he lies, and no one know just why he had to die. No flag flies, no banner waves, See the empty pole above
his empty grave. No one knows where he lies, and no one know just why he had to die.
The Reality
I have come to understand why this song came up when it has. It seems that many Souls are speaking out
for justice. The true victims, those who are suffering most and who have lost loved ones in the senseless, crazed genocide
and crimes against humanity always get forgotten. Thus, in the midst of it all, we must bring back that golden strand of love
and focus on the true victims.
As if the cosmos wished to confirm the message today
that was encompassed in the song, while I was randomly watching YouTube videos (as I do every day) this next video came up.
Into the video a ways, it speaks about the very same topic of the song that was handed down to me—about Chief Black
Kettle, and more. This is so sad and why are we surprised that the crazy lunatics who run the country today are not any different
than the crazy lunatics who ran the country then? And if you think white people are special and will be “spared”
then you had better think again. Time is running out.
We must not allow the kind of stuff that follows next to distract
us!!!! The following is just ONE EXAMPLE of the sorts of craziness we will be witnessing in 2015. Just call this a “sneak
preview.” This does not make those in the Cosmic and Celestial Realms, or God, pleased. I’m sure it’s
why the Spirits are rising up and speaking out. We should be asking, “Where is the Love?” We need to focus on
solutions to the problems, not be sidetracked by ad hom attacks like the ones that follow. This is just a waste of time, focus,
and energy. No one is right in these cases because they have totally forgotten about solving the problems and making restitution….no,
they are more interested in passing the buck, pointing fingers, defending themselves, taking over “alternative”
media for their moments of fame, and focusing on character assaults that ignore the true issues. At least that’s what
it appears at this point. This will no doubt continue to devolve. In the meantime, the rest of us really need to roll up our
shirt sleeves and get to work.
The Accusations & Attacks
Be sure to read the comments below the videos that follow…we can learn a lot from them.
Again, read the comments below the videos that follow…there is much to be learned from
them. When we gain a good understanding of the issues, we need to move on with solutions to the problems and not waste time
dwelling on the distractions.
Last,
but not least, this song was dropped off just as I was finishing this blog. Special thanks to the messenger, to
Sanat-Eros, and to Archangel Michael.
P.S. We raised a total of $75 which has
been passed on to where it can be put to good use. It seems strange that with as many people who read this website that we
cannot collect more than that for people in great need, the poorest people in the U.S. I thank those who have contributed.
We celebrated yesterday with white cake
and white frosting. It’s an interesting message from the Celestial Realms since the cake and frosting were provided
magically and I did not purchase them. In fact, I have never bought white cake and white frosting in my entire life. But since
it had been so graciously provided to us, I baked the cake and frosted it--and it was very good (and we will be eating cake
for several days). I can’t help but believe there is a very special message in this white cake with white frosting.
Maybe being white is not such a bad thing after all. That interpretation I will leave for another
time; it gets very deep when you begin to discover the layers of the matrix that need to be broken through.
Other than that, I’m excited! I have been a little sad that Sanat-Eros & Venus Kumara’s Global
Golden Treasure Hunt, which I’ve been documenting on this website, has somewhat “petered out.” I kept feeling
like there’s more and I was missing that something more somehow.
As it turns
out, there is more! It’s just been handed down to me that we’ve been playing and practicing—the treasure
hunts so far as recorded on this website and my other website, www.paradispublications.com were all initiations!
With the N.E.W. Year, we are going “global” and moving off the page (i.e., webpage). Not only that,
the many, many treasure hunts I was led on is merely the beginning of those treasure hunts--e.g., “The Kings Valley
Treasure Hunt,” “The Eager Beaver Pacific Coast Treasure Hunt,” “Not Your Ordinary Treasure Hunt,”
“Where the Sun Don’t Shine Treasure Hunt,“ just to name a few. And please be aware that the creative titles
of all of the treasure hunts have been handed down to me; I did not think them up on my own, not at all.
None of the treasure hunts are even close to being finished and the Celestial Angels praised me for not becoming
greedy in searching for treasure and commended me for being so patient. In fact, it’s my repulsiveness toward money
and how it’s worshipped that kept me from pursuing things like the lost treasury notes in Kings Valley and the gold
in “them thar hills.” I see what money does to people around me and it’s very sad. Apparently, I have transcended
seeing the value of money other than for ensuring I have a roof over my head. Having lost everything several times over now,
I am well-prepared to handle the riches waiting to be discovered. They will go to worthy causes, to institute justice, and
make restitution.
Another factor for the delay is that the time has to be right. These treasure
hunts and many more like them and even better ones are being arranged for people all over the world! So far only a few of
us have been chosen for initiation by finding a few limited treasures so that we know how these treasure hunts work. In this
way we can help lead the way for those who want to also engage in such exciting and productive ways to learn, live, and create.
2015 is the chosen year for many more people to participate in the most fun kind
of treasure hunting ever dreamed up. Of course the Pleiadian people were actively involved in developing these treasure hunts
because they have “purposeful play” and love down to a fine art and science. Thus, that would include people like
Hermes Trismegistus, Albert Einstein, Lady Portia, Sam Cooke, Lady Dianna, all of the Kumaras, the Bird People (aka the Carians)
and so many, many more.
And who has been chosen to participate in these great upcoming
treasure hunts of 2015? Of course, it shall be the poor, primarily, because who better than the poor for earth to open up
all of her divine treasures and secrets that have been held for so many years? And what have we named these treasures? None
other than ErosGifts, which is to signify the magic of the divine love gifts as they are bestowed upon the world.
Blessed are the poor for they are the children of God.
"God blesses
those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:3
God rules now (and has changed the rules of the game).
And this is
very good.
P.S. I was just handed down this video. It’s important to know the history
of what we’re “up against” and make conscious decisions as to how much we will choose to participate in
being a part of the problem. This is only one perspective. Don’t stop here! Research further to “fact” check
and get additional perspectives so that you are as fully informed as possible.
P.S.S. There are many ways to censor us and limit our freedom of expression--for
example the deficient software provided for producing this blog...it has become a battle and I cannot even post photos
as in the past....time to move off the page.
Stools Have Three Legs: The Importance of Cosmology
Stools need at least three legs to prop them up. In some ways, we are much like stools that require at least three legs to
give ourselves a firm foundation.
Cosmology is a
fascinating topic and it’s relevant to our understanding of who we are. Like most knowledge, we have bungled it. We
have no real clue or conceptualization of cosmology. I would wager it’s not even possible to conceptualize it, but we
must put forth the effort. Doing so is a great exercise that can aid in consciousness expansion.
Joe specified for his multidimensional critical complex bricolage that we
include three legs of research: epistemology (philosophy of knowledge), ontology (philosophy of being) AND COSMOLOGY (philosophy
of the cosmos, creation, etc.). He also made it clear that we can all do this—and that we all should be doing this in
all areas of our lives! It’s a wonderful path toward love and liberation.
He wrote (in Rigour and Complexity in Educational Research):
In the ideological spirit of its genesis the bricolage is not only for
high theorists and researchers operating in the arcane confines of research universities. As we think about our relationship
with the planet and the ecological dimensions of such connections (cosmology), with knowledge and the way we view the world
(epistemology), and with the notion of being itself and the ways we define humanness (ontology), we begin a process that John
Dewey (1916) referred to as ‘reconstructing our experience.’ (p. 61)
Including all three legs in your "bricolage" research and your writing, whether
research papers and dissertations, "MyStories," or "Memwahs" will result in a strong presentation and
will lead you forward in your understanding of who you are, what your purpose is, and your relationship with those around
you. Of course, the greater understanding we have of these dimensions, the more effective we are in whatever we do—whether
it’s teaching, learning, creating, working, playing, constructing, or dancing.
Here’s a wonderful presentation by "Manifester Yada," aka Dr. Jerry O. Lee.
It provides a new extremely expansive interpretation of biblical descriptions of the cosmos. It’s a start. After listening
to this, the next step is to collect different perspectives: historical accounts, Eastern views, Indigenous accounts, social
perspectives, science understandings, etc. Get many different views and compare them with your own personal experiences. Write
about it. Share your writings.
In this next one, Dr. Lee sheds some light on a statement Joe had made
in his last book about our trying to see and describe the world within the world. Our "vision" is highly limited.
Thus, Dr. Lee explains why we need to be able to access the fourth dimension—it is from the fourth dimension that we
can then get a better view on the third dimension. I encourage listening to other lectures he presents. He definitely brings
a different perspective to what’s in the Bible.
I have written many
blogs, actually, but just have not posted them here. I continue to do extensive research. Perhaps this is all for future writings
or something. However, I was prompted to post today’s blog to help people understand how to build a stronger foundation
in their research by including an exploration of cosmology, the important third leg of the stool. There are so many views
and interpretations of cosmology it’s truly mind boggling and we can learn from all of them. I like the Pleiadian perspective,
of course, and have learned that many of the Indigenous peoples have cosmological understandings that their cultures originated
from the Pleiades star system. For whatever reasons, it’s what I remember so well—a beautiful planet where love
and peace reigns high and ALL and EVERYONE work together symbiotically—my home on Planet Eros far into the future. Being
able to access that knowledge is just one example of fourth dimension research—and I can attest to how dramatically
it has changed my perception of earth. So then we have to come to realize that there is no time—time
is a construct to help regulate us (for power purposes) but it also helps us with perspective. And so, of course, I feel that
I am AT HOME 24/7 these days. It’s truly a wonderful feeling.
In
the meantime, I work on creative endeavors in many different dimensions…
P.S. My Divine Consort requested a song. His clue is "In miracles of sand lies the magic of love"
It’s kind of a strange clue and he added "I think that will bring
it up. . . :)"
So I’ll plug the clue into YouTube
right now, as I finish up this blog.
Three things came up! Usually, it’s
the first song to the top but this time the first one is a movie! The second one is a song, and the third one’s a song
clearly about cosmology. I am not sure which one he wants. That figures since the blog is about the THREE LEGS OF THE STOOL…maybe
all three videos are needed; maybe that’s why he added the smiley face. YES! Of course! The first one is "Ontology,"
namely LOVE (of course!), the second one is "Epistemology"—knowledge and it’s relation to love and magic,
and the third one is "Cosmology." LOL; he is so brilliant and powerful Remember: the Internet can be controlled
from ALL dimensions—the ptw (powers that were) hate that! It’s why they are still trying so very hard to regulate
it.
Of course, WHY questions are great epistemological questions. Thus, people are seeing the magic but need to seek
knowledge to understand what it’s all about. (Epistemolgical)
This one is clearly about appreciating the magic and asking cosmological
questions. (The third leg of the stool so many people leave out—the cosmological).
Hmmm….I wonder how these magical things always happen to me. Truly, I must be IN the fourth dimension, observing
the planet from the outside. And it’s great!
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. God is Good!! Check it out! 20160227-1330 Rewards Of Developing My Will To Love
“As a child I wanted so
desperately for magic to be real. I would work for hours collecting what I hoped were just the right combination of ingredients
to make some type of magic potion that would provide me with special powers….I found such magic in words viewed in
a postformal matrix and I observe and practice that magic everyday.” (Kincheloe, 2006, Reading, Writing, Thinking,
p. 13)
