TRANSFORMING FRAME OF REFERENCE.

The abundance of self-help metaphysics takes us to worldwide cultural representations. The miriad of Toltec teachings will by definition use the Meso-Amercan ambience and certainly eventually use the Carlos Casteneda terminology. Zen focus will use the Japanese model or the earlier source of Chinese practioners. The more sutra-oriented Buddhism will model the origination in India where it is now nearly extinct. Theosophical modeled energy body representations will use the Hindu and Indian subcontinent cultural history. Widely popular and of comfort to many are the more metaphysical interpretations of common Biblical institutions. Some are eclectic with a tolerance and even advocation of the religious science of areas outside the usual cultures of Rome and the Middle East.

There is a better way. We didn't know this in the late 1960's when there was a kind of 'cosmic' seeking to expand our horizons toward more understanding of life. We turned to the I-Ching, Egyptology, Zen, and anything in far away places. If we had known better, or if had been time, we would have found ourselves in our Selves and the very places where we lived. The framework for personal consciousness research has a model given by our ancestors. Politically charged failed policys of the Marxist era will be corrected by a recognition that there was something Spiritual about our own Declaration of Independence. This time of Spiritual expression went on to frame our Constitution.

Wherever you are in the United States you are probably there because of the courage and ambition of immediate family, ancestors, or your own resolve and motivation. To now advocate any foreign teaching that nullifies ego and over-simplifies a selfless life would create an unnecessary conflict. The path with a heart that has respect for human complexity is available.

That is the direction this blog will take in future entrys. Much of this integral Germanic cultural referrence awaits rediscovery. There is progress in remembrance and authentic creativity every day. We have our ways and we are learning more.
