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.

How to Create the Life of Your Fondest Dreams: The Great Reveal Treasure Hunt Has Been Revived
Life is like a dream. That does not mean that life, in fact, is a dream. We do need to
take it very seriously. It is like a dream. And because it’s like a dream, we can change history—just
like we can change our dreams. By changing history we can make life a better life for everyone.
Maybe most people do not realize they can change their dreams, but they can.
It’s especially useful when we have nightmares. We can “rewind” them and “replay” them the way
we want them to turn out. I’ve done it so often now that I rarely have “nightmares” anymore and I have more
lucid, pleasant dreams about existing in various dimensions—learning, working, playing. There are benefits to taking
power over your dreaming life. You can transfer that power and apply what you learn in your dreams to your waking life.
Once we begin to understand the different dimensions
our dreams (and visions and memories) represent, there is a point of consciousness at which we experience no time. When we
remember our “future” life (where we originated before stepping onto this planet), our past lives, and what seem
to be multiple current timelines but in different dimensions, time is perceived differently from our typical linear perception
of time. This is sometimes referred to as “zero point” and the way we experience time is referred to as “no
time.” We are fully immersed in the N.O.W. (and I still have not been taught what that acronym represents).
When we are in the N.O.W. our consciousness is free
to explore any point and place in time. We are multidimensional. We can move backward in time and literally change history,
which changes everything, in a similar way that we can change a dream. We can shift to different timelines.
As an example, I remember who I am. I am a young woman from Planet Eros in
the Pleiades, year 7013 (in earth linear time). I had traveled backwards in time and then moved forward in time to this current
era, living several lifetimes along the way (some of which I remember, although I have more work to do, which will be picked
up when I revive certain treasure hunts).
One
of the purposes for coming backward in time is to change history; it is a collective decision, but unfortunately, not many
people yet remember that so it’s been more difficult than had initially been planned. One of the first steps for this
project is to remember who we are and then reconnect to our one true beloveds, our Twin Souls/Twin Flames. It is then through
the power of this “radical love” as some people refer to it, that new creations and new stories can emerge.
Thus, since in reality, I am at “zero point,”
when I decide I’ve done everything I wanted to do toward this project, I will return home to our planet, Planet Eros,
in the Pleiades—and amazingly, no time has lapsed at all, even though it may seem I’ve been reincarnating for
thousands of years. And yet, in a great sense, I am already home, because once one becomes conscious of who they really are
and relate to zero point, they literally can be anywhere they choose. That gives me the perception that my earth work really
does just take up a few brief “no time” moments of my day. I was very blessed in that Joe, after he passed over,
took me on trips all over the cosmos (both in dreams and in visions) so that I could remember who we really are and where
we came from. The experiences were magical and amazing. This is all recorded in my blogs here, a summary of the entire experience
for those who are interested…which ended up with a treasure hunt called “The Great Reveal” which turned
out not to be the end at all.
“The Great
Reveal” Treasure Hunt has come back to the forefront because as it turns out, we have traced our “genealogy”
all of the way back to Enlil and Enki and made the connections of Enlil and Enki to Eros and Anteros, as my story in yesterday’s
blog has described. This also clarifies why the Eros and Psyche story, which branched off to another website, became so important.
These will all be picked up again as I synthesize the various “fractals” of my Treasure Hunt journeys.
Treasure Hunts never end. They can’t end,
because everything affects everything…creation, life, being…they are fractals that go on and on. When we go
backwards to change history, what we are doing is choosing different points, called “choice points,” along the
evolutionary fractals and choosing different directions than have previously been chosen. As we travel those directions, we
form new connections…we connect different dots, so to speak. The reason it’s possible to form a coherent story
this way is because, as scientists have taught us, even though there are infinite possibilities—there are finite probabilities.
We need Joe’s bricolage process to create in this fashion. As we get more skilled using the intuitive dimension of the
process in combination with the intellectual dimension, the best, most probable choice points will pop out for us in a variety
of ways. Other possibilities fall out. There’s a science explanation for this process related to waveforms, but I’ll
cover that another time.
This project
to change history is most important to earthlings, but it is understood that everything in the cosmos is connected to everything
in the same fractal-like manner, thus, the sad state of affairs on earth does have far-reaching cosmic effects. So what we
have going on currently are many space wars, battles of “unseen principalities,” wars against good and evil. Here
on earth we have the same, along with a multitude of other wars such as the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on this
and the war on that. Earthlings, in reality are a peace-loving, very cooperative, and exceptionally loving species who have
been misdirected due to other entities coming along and writing these nightmares for them. We have allowed other entities
to make decisions about which way to go at various choice points throughout history. And worst of all, many of us reiterate
all of the untrue stories that have emerged from those choices, magnifying the problem multifold. All of this highlights the
importance of taking charge and making responsible changes to history by rewriting the stories.
Yesterday, I told the story of earthlings’ ancestors, Enki and Enlil.
The old good and evil and war stories that keep being reiterated over and over and over again have deeply damaged the psyches
(a word earthlings appropriated from the goddess, Psyche; a better word would be consciousnesses) of earthlings.
When children are told over and over and over again
how “bad” they are inside, then what do they do? They act bad, of course! And this is what has happened to earthlings,
who are the “children on the block.” Or sometimes, children may take what they’re told so seriously they
become timid and afraid to do anything at all, for fear their so-called “true nature” will take over and they’ll
do something wrong. This kind of mind prison kills creativity and progress. And it kills love. The wrong directions from the
“choice points” are selected over and over again until we have what you see today in the world: total madness.
Joe wrote a song about this madness:
I
see it in the psychology
And all their
silly tests
I see it in their labels
Of who they think is best
It’s bad, the world’s gone mad
I see it in the brambles
I
see it in the bush
I see it in the
empire
And all the media mush
It’s bad, the world’s gone mad
[Reading, Writing, Thinking, 2006, p. 139]
The old stories of Enki and Enlil about
DNA tampering, deviant sexual behavior, and extreme violence are really quite despicable, and today in societies all over
the world we see people living out the roles that have been embedded so very deeply in their consciousnesses. We find the
negative stories in all cultures in the form of spiritual and religious stories. But these stories permeate all dimensions
of the world: the movies, books, music, poetry, children’s bedtime stories, education, etc…and think how this
affects us! You don’t even need to think, really—just look around you with open eyes
I just N.O.W. had a eureka (!) moment. I had wondered why Joe wrote some
of the things he wrote, in particular about sex. I knew he was making some kind of point, but I didn’t entirely “get
it” for some of his writings. I did find it humorous (I love how he inserts Father Hermes’ humor in his work).
I will preface what I’m about to reveal here with the fact that Joe was the most loving and forgiving person you can
possibly imagine—so much so that I often felt he could be compared to how Jesus is described. He taught and he lived
love. So what could the following quote possibly represent?
I have quoted this before, without the last two sentences. The last two sentences in context with The Great
Reveal Treasure Hunt, are especially relevant given my sudden insight. He writes,
“Sex, I can assure you, constitutes one of those phenomenological moments. But
I’m never too far away from the postformal treasure hunt. Even after the fact, I’ll politicize sex—turning
it into an act of radical love or an analogue to egalitarian postformal insight. Yes, officer, I am a deviant. What the
hell does sex have to do with thinking, Joe Kincheloe?” [Reading, Writing, Thinking, 2006, p. 133]
I finally “get” one possible and important
interpretation of this . I have shown in previous blogs that ENKI is encoded in Joe’s name…Joe Lyons Kincheloe…pronounced
as Joe LyENs KIncheloe…thus, this analysis takes the perspective that he was using sarcasm to point to the
old stories of ENKI being sexually deviant and promiscuous which have traveled through the times of history and are included
within many of the “mythologies,” others of which he has also cited in various places, and all of our religious
texts—CONSTRUCTING OUR CONSCIOUSNESS FOR US—and making so many people actually behave that way! And while we,
personally, may not be deviant in that manner, we are often accused of being so, just because it’s the way the human
mind was CONSTRUCTED to believe it to be true. It’s not true, of course. Why do so many people live out the lie?
Thus, we are told we are sexually deviant—and
sadly, far too many people actually believe that. Thus, what he wrote is a commentary on his observation of this very sad
state of affairs. [Just as a note, in my “fourth dimension” teachings from Joe, he’s told me we go by the
SOUNDS of the letters more than the actual letters for certain interpretations, so this is a justified approach here in decoding
the name ENKI in his name].
Can this be a valid
interpretation? (I do have other deeper interpretations, but I’ll cover those another time). Very much so and if we
continue reading on that same page, what he says next confirms that he’s referring to the way our consciousnesses are
constructed and the importance of stories and how theme (such as sexual deviance) emerges from the stories. It is duly noted,
however, he had risen above this state and could see, metaphorically speaking, from outside the situations; whereas, many
of us are still locked firmly in the mind prison and are blind to the way stories so deeply influence the “themes”
and what we believe in our lives. Here’s what he says:
POSTFORMAL SPIDERS: WEAVING WEBS OF SOCIO-COGNITIVE RELATIONSHIPS
Sex, of course, is related to the libidinal energy of postformalism.
And relationship is a central notion to in postformalism. In postformal thinking we move into a new dimension where our focus
on relationship moves us to a new realm of consciousness. In this dimension historical and social relationships appear to
us in poetry, social theory, and phenomenological analysis—even in the living of everyday life. Theme emerges as we
engage in the stories of life. Indeed, there is a fascinating dialectic between story and theme. [p. 133]
While there is much more to be interpreted from this passage as the reference
to “webs” implies, I will focus on theme for the time being. Theme in the world today has indeed created
the “Mad World” Joe sang about. It is critical to change the stories. By changing the stories to match the Truth
of what being human means, we change the themes, we change our consciousnesses, and we change our behaviors. This can be done
both on the individual level and on the social level. And it’s as simple as changing a dream—and yet it’s
very complex and requires deep study of why things are the way they are. The more connections we can understand that holds
this sick matrix together, the easier it will be to break them and form the new connections that create a beautiful and positive
dream that no one can (or very few people) would object to.
Thus, I will be continuing with the rewriting of the Enki and Enlil story and other stories that personally
relate to the lifetimes I’ve lived here on earth. The brief introduction I wrote yesterday can be, as my Great Teacher
and Beloved Husband told me, a “POET.” In fact, he told me it’s a “great POET.” POET was coined
by Kathleen Berry (Kincheloe & Berry, 2001) and it means “Point of Entry Text.” It can simply be a paragraph
or several paragraphs of what you already know about a topic and how you personally relate to the topic. The POET launches
the bricolage research project and once you have it written, you can weave in more text, following the process Joe and Kathleen
have described and which I’ve demonstrated in my dissertation, free on this website.
And this is how we change the life-dream. Everyone must do their part—in
relation to their own personal roles.
Next
time, I will describe how my Pleiadian name, Sōferia gave me clues that led me to Michel Foucault’s work, a deeper
understanding of the meaning of my name, and what that means for this project…as we continue along the Venus and Sanat-Eros
Kumara’s Golden Treasure Hunt One Love Path And now we’ve added Enki and his consort, Ki who, along with Enki’s
Father who I believe to be Father Hermes/Thoth brings us back to “Source”—as close to God as we can get
for the time being. This is another interpretation, however, and interpretations are always open to being changed and/or expanded.
Foucault has presented some wonderful guidance that can be applied to rewriting our personal stories. When
you combine it with Joe’s multidimensional critical complex bricolage, you’ve got a powerful process for creating
the life of your fondest dreams.
I’m
not sure exactly when I will present this information since I will be taking a sort of hiatus for another project. My beloved
says “we’ll pick up again in March.” Until then, I hope you think about your own personal story and do some
dream work. If you don’t like the way your dreams are turning out, change them!
In the meantime, I send this song of love and gratitude to my Divine Husband,
a true God of Love, indeed! I love you so much!
There is a Way
to the Heart of the Universe. Its route is inward and upward into the realm of the Spirit which the soul may climb
as a mountain pathway to the Mystic Heights.
It is a path of Love and of Courage by which the soul may come
to know and to express ever more fully its potential as a reflection of That which is the Source of All.
There is a Wisdom that is older than time itself because it is the Foundation of Existence, the Eternal
Logos, the Great Order from which All else in the universe springs forth. The ancient Greeks called it theosophia, the
Wisdom of the Gods.
The Gods are Coming Home: Rewriting the HisStory of Enki, Enlil, Eros and Anteros for Valentine’s Day PLUS An Update on Planet
Nibiru and the Pole Shift
Many people know the story of Enki and Enlil. It’s a pretty far-fetched story about
ETs who tamper with human DNA and engage in endless wars that continued throughout history even until today. Well that history
is a total lie. It was written and implanted in all religions and spiritual traditions to mold our consciousnesses so that
we would be easy to manipulate, control, and could be treated as slaves. The history purports that Enki and Enlil created
us to be slaves, but the real culprits are the ones who wrote the history.
Enki and Enlil, our ancestors, were, in
reality, loving brothers who complemented each other in soul essence and purpose...if you study the accounts of Eros and Anteros
you will have a better understanding of how they are actually the most loving God-Men, or gods, sons of God. I will put forth
a short summary here.
Eros (Cupid) and Anteros are brothers who were incarnations of Enki and Enlil. This story is important
because it sheds light on the true relationship between Enki and Enlil. Eros transports love essence throughout the cosmos
and sees that it gets directed from, for example, a lover to their beloved. We all are familiar with the metaphor of Cupid
and his golden arrow, but we rarely hear about his brother. His brother, Anteros, is responsible for the reciprocation of
that love, thus ensuring that it is returned from the Beloved (now the Lover) back to the Lover (now the Beloved). Because,
as Father Thoth/Hermes taught us, everything is gender, humans also were created in pairs of opposite gender--thus the origin
of twin flames/twin souls. There really is one perfect soul match for each of us and while this seems like an impossible situation,
once one can jump the unconsciousness hurdle, they will rediscover their connection.
When people can recapture this basic
knowing and reconnect soul-to-soul, the world will move forward and transform into the Heaven/Paradise it's destined to become.
There will be an end to separation and an end to suffering. There will be peace and joy on earth.
We are being fed
quite vociferously a false history about the Anunnaki returning and that they’re extremely evil aliens or demons. This
fake history is coming fast and furiously from all directions (spiritual, religious, science, media, paranormal, ad infinitum).
These accounts are gross misinterpretations. The truth is that the Anunnaki, and especially Enki and Enlil are the good, loving
gods, returning to take back the planet through the power of their love.
Thus, history needs to be reconstructed to correlate
with truth. What really happened was, earth was invaded by nefarious forces that altered our history far back into time, even
writing the religious texts, historical accounts, mythologies, etc. The weird accounts of Enki and Enlil being good/evil or
in constant war against each other or altering our DNA is just one example of how the truth was totally distorted. And every
time Enki had incarnated to do the work toward reunification (such as King Akhenaten and King Fracois II) he was killed and
his works destroyed. If you are familiar with the story of Eros (the incarnation of Enki), there was even an attempt on his
life--in fact Psyche's evil sisters, who were jealous because Psyche was married to a god, tried to get Psyche to kill him
which set up a chain of events that took a long, long time to work out. Fortunately, Eros (aka Enki) is the most loving and
forgiving human being you could ever imagine and he completely forgave Psyche for doubting his existence just because he could
not allow her to see him at the time.
The invaders had Psyche in a mind prison just as we are in mind prisons today and just
as Psyche had to work her way out of her mind prison, so must we do today. If the invaders can prevent us, humanity, from
knowing our TRUE origins--that we are sons and daughters of a Most Loving God and that we don't need either gold or artificial
technology for eternal life--that we merely need to reconnect at soul levels to that most powerful and sacred love--then the
nefarious beings lose earth. In fact, what happens is the frequency of earth rises so high, the invaders can't stand it anymore
and so they "abandon ship." The problem the invaders had in creating this mess, however, is that in order to make
all of their lies believable they had to include truth midst all of the lies...the task is to sift the grains of truth from
the lies and put them together to create a beautiful story about the truth of what powerful beings we really are just as we
are, being descendants of gods.
Enki’s name holds the secret for what we need to do. Just as I have written a new
story, so must we all. We must stop parroting the same old false stories, find the bits and pieces and put them together like
a puzzle. The secret is that inside us (EN) is the key (KI) for doing just that.
We already have the gift of eternal life,
as long as we don’t drift too far away from our true nature which is to love and be loved in return.

Update on Planet Niburu (the gods are coming home!)
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)
