    About this ebook

    This collection of 31 ramblings by White Feather brings together several of his ideas and perceptions on life. The idea that reality is created through perception is delved into as is using wonderment as a tool. Energy sources, resistance, thoughts, feelings, movement, happiness, art, and pushing the envelope are talked about, with intensive rambling about the process of individuation and the creation of a Self. The differences between Sources and Creators are delineated as are the differences between our head noggins and our belly noggins. And that doesn't make sense until you read White Feather's explanation of the all-important donut in our belly. With wit and wisdom, White Feather pushes the envelope of our perceptions.

      Ice Cream

      Like certain kinds of ice cream, it is the combination of flavors that creates a distinctive taste. We all find and prefer our favorite flavors. When we decide on a favorite flavor we often then eat only that flavor. We have created a comfort zone and we stay within that zone.

      Not until we start trying new and other flavors will we be able to open up enough to create movement into new vibrations.

      Look at a circle. A circle can represent a comfort zone or it can be used as a gateway to the full spectrum of flavors.

      Do we live in comfort zones or are we continually passing through circular openings into whole new fields of possibilities?

      Ice cream can be seen as a comfort food. It can also be seen as an opportunity to taste ever new flavors.

      In the heat of summer ice cream can be a fun think to think about.

      Surrender

      To fully surrender, one must stop seeking; stop planning, stop rationalizing, stop hoping, stop wanting, and stop struggling. Can we give those things up? Can we enter the NOW and live there? Can we fully surrender to each new moment, giving it our full, undivided attention?

      Beauty is something that can hold us in the NOW. The NOW is saturated in beauty but we must be able to see and feel that beauty to establish a connection with it that will keep us anchored in the NOW. We must surrender to that beauty, allowing it to fully envelop us. We do not do that on a regular basis because we are not accustomed to the intensity of the feeling vibration of joy that beauty creates. It can make us cry tears of joy and many of us are afraid to cry. We are afraid to feel. We are afraid to surrender.

      These fears hold us in a vibratory pattern that keeps us out of the NOW and prevents us from fully experiencing beauty and the feelings of love and joy. These fears are doors we can open to get to the other side of our perceived limitations. Each doorway we walk through takes us to a new perspective and these new perspectives reveal the illusory nature of those limitations. As we release our hold on those limiting illusions we begin the process of surrender. This process takes us to our divine nature.

      ***

      Default Dualistic Vibrational Entrainment Patterns

      Do you create your own reality? Do you take responsibility for creating your own reality? Or do you play victim to seemingly outside influences? But if you truly create your own reality then you created those seemingly outside influences. Why would one do that? What benefits does victimhood offer us?

      Why would we create something outside of us that victimizes us? Is that a way of learning about and experiencing duality? Is it about balancing out karma and the stabilization of energy? Is it necessary to first be a victim before we can understand the victim/perpetrator duality? Is it equally necessary to play the part of the perpetrator?

      So it does not matter whether we are playing the victim/perpetrator duality game or consciously creating our own reality. Either way, we are creating our reality. The difference is in the level of awareness, level of responsibility, and level of joy for life. We can choose to create our reality through self-awareness or through plugging into default dualistic vibrational entrainment patterns. The hard part is unplugging from those entrainment patterns. This involves taking responsibility for creating every little thing in your reality. Then
