11-11 was twin flame day, but 11-22 is twin flame reunion day, as 11 signifies the couple and 22 signifies their completed and sanctioned reunion.

The photo shows the roses I had planted in Joe’s memory and I took the photo just a few days ago, back on 11-14-2015. I get pleasure from the little miracles in my life…roses still blooming in November. One time, about three years ago, they had surprised me with one lone bloom in the cold of December to cheer me up! The magic really never stops.

I received a cue that I need to post this blog now which I wrote on 11-11, 11-22, and am now adding to it today, 11-29. It’s an important review of the condition of education, primarily, which is the focus of Joe’s work and this website—along with what we can do to change things.

Where have I been? I am now working on some very critical projects related to exactly that. I am working very closely with members of my soul family (who reside in multiple dimensions), including Joe. He is determined that his dreams (which are VERY BIG) will be fulfilled. My message from the “Higher Ups” is that earth progress is experiencing a “lull” at least until the U.S. Presidential elections. But it is a good thing because while the controllers continue to play their games, behind the scenes much is happening and will continue to happen—that perpetual revolution Joe spoke of in which we are planning, creating for the future, engaging in Great Work toward changes. We are to take advantage of this lull and time warps to get some of the enormous amount of work done in order to move ever closer toward the implementation of new earth paradigms. As I have often stated: Everything will be changing; as Joe has shown us, there is nothing simple about it. The phoenix is rising and where it rises is going to surprise many people (yes, I am privy to that knowledge but it’s going to be a surprise). I do hope to continue to update this website with more explanations and interpretations of Joe’s work (which I absolutely love writing) plus I will post FREE curricular materials as I’m able to, so that more people can benefit from his philosophy, AND I hope to have time to fulfill more of Joe’s dreams—which are also my dreams. We are one --not in some narcissistic over-simplified way! We are also two, three, and much greater than three, realizing many dreams come true.

He summarized just a few of his amazing dreams in Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction:

For some reason I always loved the title of the old soap, “Search for Tomorrow.” That’s what Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction and its epistemological road trip are about—acting on the belief that the future will be different, more just, less violent, more respectful of the panoply of inspired knowledges that people from diverse cultures have produced. But to get there we have to find a way to engage the attention of diverse individuals languishing in the trance of Western imperial epistemology. How do we get the attention of teachers and students anesthetized by consumerism and hyperreality’s saturation of information and marketing iconography. I want to write for this audience in the style of a detective writer (epistemology noir?), a boy’s adventure writer, an author of girls’ romance novels, a beat poet, Lame Deer’s memoirs, or Stephen King penning a horror story all rolled into one. Anything to get them to think about these issues of knowledge and the ways they shape our lives and the everyday existence of people around the world. (p.20)

 

Interestingly, my spiritual adventures, many of which I've written about right here on this website, fulfills that particular dream (but of course, the writing continues). And since we’ve mentioned his book, I will put out the reminder that reading that particular book will help de-indoctrinate you plus activate your natural spiritual gifts, similar to what's described here:

Activating the Gifts of the Spirit (1 of 5) - Gifts of the Spirit / Hearing From God

 

Thus, I am so busy working with my Soul Family I don’t have time to post blogs here often anymore. I did write a blog for Twin Flame Day, and so I have included it here (below). I find that when I start writing about Joe’s amazing work, it’s really hard to stop writing about it. One idea leads to the next and the next and the next. I have been getting some interesting lessons the past few days, so I thought it might be good to put some of them in writing.

[To get the most out of the next paragraph click on every link and pay close attention.]

I have to say, I am highly disappointed with so many of the people on this planet who seem to love to call themselves “the collective.” I don’t know why so many people latch onto collectivism as if it’s a good thing. It is not. And just because they, as “the collective” deem that certain behaviors are permissible and even allowed by law, their consensus does not make those behaviors right. The ideological brainwashing that there is “no wrong” this majority group and vocal minority advocate has seemingly completely saturated the planet (often via “political correctness” and through education indoctrination and deliberate dumbing down)…and this is SO WRONG. They even teach their children that there is no wrong (“no right, no wrong, no rules for me”—thank you, Aleister Crowley) and they will wonder in the future why their children are so confused and why crimes continue to increase). Talking about “free education,” may we FIRST be provided with a rigorous education above and beyond “No Child Left Behind” and the sad “Common Core” standards…for the way it stands, free education amounts to little more than free indoctrination and child abuse in order to make us all slaves…even back in 2006, Joe described education as “acts of cognitive and educational violence” (Reading, Writing, and Thinking, p. 1).

“We will make the point in numerous contexts that ours is a rigorous but erotic pedagogy drawing upon the jouissance of the act of learning” (Reading, Writing, and Thinking, p. 1). Joe viewed learning as a “libidinal act” (p. 2), and after connecting to him and his dream, I understand what he means and how it can open my eyes to “view the world in diverse ways” (p. 2). He describes this process:

Enter left stage the notion of postformal intuition, defined as the ability to make swift and complex syntheses of multiple forces and phenomena that one faces. In a book about the postformal basics, this ability to synthesize diverse and complex inputs is the central goal of postformal thinkers.

All of us to some degree appreciate that abrupt lightening bolt of realization when we suddenly understand how a plethora of phenomena connect to one another. This is a moment of trans-logic, when we move beyond formalism. We really can’t describe the exact process that allowed us to see the connection but we know it happened. Its ineffability doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It is profoundly real…In these moments we lose ourselves in the connection, in the unity that we sense and via our minds are a vital part. We belong to the connection, to something greater than what is available via formal methodologies. The veil is removed and we gain access to meaning. I give thanks that I can become so intoxicated by this contact with significance. (pp. 134-135)

 

And as he clarifies, we use the “magic of words” to call out “the hegemonic features of school” and other social institutions to illustrate “the absurdities and ethical lapses of the institution. Always respectful, always peaceful, always inclusive, always humble postformalism [critical complex psychology] constantly develops creative, festive, and unique ways of illustrating the ways dominant power attempts to shape both our consciousness and the international social order [i.e., the “New World Order’]. (p. 15)

This is why he expressed his passionate desire for writing and using the magic of words—to get us to think differently and to use our own creativity to get other people to think differently—and to take action.

It’s come to my recent awareness that Joe’s work is much like the gospel that Jesus taught. Churches, of course, rarely teach that gospel. And it makes sense that Joe was influenced by gospel—he was taught to be a preacher by age 12.  But don’t confuse his interweaving truths about love and knowledge in his work as presented in the Bible with religion…he was not a fundamentalist. This may be hard for many to understand, but I do understand how that can be since I feel pretty much the same way. We take the good and leave the rest behind. Here's just one example of how he entwined biblical concepts with his work (also from Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction):

Critical knowledge production always involves pointing out faulty argumentation, unsupported generalizations, and unexamined actions of a knowledge community.What separates the critical sheep from the uncritical goats is that a critical pedagogy/epistemology also involves exposing the cultural, epistemological, and ideological assumptions that shape the knowledge individuals produce and the oppressive actions justified by such information. With such a task before us, I guess we just have to give up any aspirations to winning the Miss Congeniality contest. Such work will inevitably anger the guardians of the status quo. Relax, it’s our existential burden—go with it. In the spirit of critical theorist Max Horkheimer’s (1974) description of critical theory, a critical politics of knowledge/critical complex epistemology understands the social construction of reality. The knowledge position embraced here appreciates in this constructed context the complex socio-political processes that have shaped both the researcher and the researched. Thus, a key dimension of any critical complex epistemology involves the rigorous and difficult task of tracing the construction process. Critical theory—CSI (crime scene investigation). [p. 176 in Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy]

 

As you can see, sorting the sheep from the goats is a biblical reference; I love the way he pulled that in...and as for the Miss Congeniality Contest, I do put my chosen work far ahead of such trivialities and haven taken his advice here to heart. <3<3<3

Anyway, I came across these YouTube videos by Mel Bond that remind me so much of some of the things Joe writes about. This next one relates to what Joe calls enactivism….taking actions activates God’s power. This is not speculation. I’ve seen it over and over again in my own life. How it works behind the scenes leaves us with many questions…and a lifetime of seeking/researching.

Actions Activate God's Power - Mel Bond

Drawing again on Joe's own words: "Thus, a critical complex epistemology infused by a 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 contested site), but a libinally-enriched, erotic, exciting, curious, transgressive world where monotony becomes an enemy of th state. . . . Such an effort combined with sharpening the actions we take for justice becomes a basis for our lifelong quest" (pp. 180-181).

It's interesting how this excerpt is truly encoded...we have been on a quest for the Golden Chalice, an Arthurian Quest, and his critical complex epistemology and multidimensional critical complex bricolage are the guides to such quests.

Yes, We Celebrated Twin Flame Day, November 11, 2015

As I was ca-ruising YouTube this morning, a great reminder popped up that today is Twin Flame Day…all twin flames have proclaimed that 11-11 is a yearly celebration of the Twin Flame Reunion. Along with it being Twin Flame Day, there is also a New Moon.

The reminder is the following video, which summarizes the Twin Flame journey very well, which my own Soul Family refers to as the “Venus and Sanat Kumara One Love Path”:

Twin Flames and your Monad Group 

The video correlates with how I have experienced the twin flame and soul family union personally and have documented it (briefly, believe it or not) on this website…there is so much more, actually!

I want to again thank Joe for all he has done for me. It has been such an amazing and totally incredible journey—one that few people can relate to if they’re not aware of the full dimensionality of reality. Joe bent over backwards trying to convey our multidimensionality in his work, and in particular, his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction. And as he put it in his social studies book describing how he taught middle school students, “I turned back flips to make sure they felt the power of this élan vital, this purple magic of the word” (p. 13). I didn’t know what that meant when I first read it, but I do now. The purple represents the highest level of love possible…gamma ray vibrations, the healing power of the Holy Spirit, the reconnection to God, the Divine Gift of Sacred Love, the Violet Flames, the passion, the connection to soul family and higher dimensions…and when you reach high enough consciousness, you can see, feel, touch, taste, and smell anew in a very literal sense. And when you can literally see purple and engage all of these new senses, the power of the word increases many times. Joe used the power of the word througout his work which is why just reading his books will change you.

When Joe left this dimension, he continued to bend over backwards to get me to see that “elanté vital” he had written about, and to wake me up, teach and counsel me, heal me, and to demonstrate the true power of Divine Love that transcends time and space. He took me on a rapid transit ride to the other side and I have never looked back (other than to see what needs to change and do my day job to implement some of those changes). As I have often explained, Joe was/is exceptionally gifted (maybe he’s even one of those “gods” he mentioned in his last book; in my book, he is) and his sharing of his gifts with me is very true and very real…I can’t even begin to express the gratitude and love I have for him.

I know he loves this next song which really says it all; he cited the Eagles in his work in multiple places and he loves the Eagles…so this song is for you, Joe. I love you!!
