What is Woo Woo? According to my friend, Halima, "Woo Woo" refers to anything unexplained by our five senses in daily life. For instance, when I make a decision, I study all the facts and ask many questions. However, my final decision is always based on my "gut feeling". I listen to Spirit, and it guides my life.

Remember EOTWAWKI from the year 2000 technology scare? It's the acronym for "End Of The World As We Know It". Did you have a little stock pile of stuff, saved for the Power Grid failure? Happily, that wasn't needed. If you didn't get around to cleaning it out, you can rename it, Terrorist Preparedness Stuff... or now, natural disaster stuff. Gilda Radner was right, "It's always something."

Am I prepared for the end of the world? No. I thought about it, but I decided that if The Infinite Spirit wants me to prepare for... something, IT will tell me. This is an act of arrogance on my part, but I am comfortable with that decision.

Most of the circumstances that exist in my life are out of my control. However, the way I choose to feel about those circumstances is my choice. I choose to love life. I choose to live every minute fully. I choose to feel happy. Warning: The act of being happy seems to piss off a lot of people.

When depression creeps into the corners of your heart, try this suggestion. Stop! Don't bother to get all analytical about it. Analysis will just better define it. Tell yourself, "I want to feel happy." Remember how it felt to feel joyful... to run on the beach barefoot or to give a smile to a friend. Then feel that way. Pretend. Force a smile. Your Life is your choice. Think about it. No one can make you happy. Only you can make you happy. Say it out loud.

And so... you will be. Repeat as needed.

On my kitchen wall, in full view of my breakfast table, I display many pictures of Einstein. Why? His lifelong philosophy was, "think outside the box". If he had based his theories on the accepted rules of science, he could never have formulated relativity or understood the relationships between time, speed, mass and space in a multi-dimensional universe, challenging the space-time continuum. We are just now beginning to prove his mathematical relationships with "modern" science. If I need inspiration to start my day, he is the one to do it.

Near the end of Einstein's life, he said that if he had known about parapsychology when he was a boy, he would have made parapsychology his life work. The unknown excited him. Why... because...

Einstein's mathematical formulas led to the String Theory. This is "the theory about everything". It is based on the premise that all things are composed of the same thing, very small vibrating particles. Today's mathematicians have expanded Einstein's formulas and proven that the string theory is valid. Read my Cosmic Consciousness experience. Everything does vibrate together. We are living in times when Spirit might be proven. (To be real, it must be verifiable by the five senses. Repeatable.) Then It becomes "real", not woo woo. When Spirit is proven then Religion becomes Science.

When two people, half a world away from each other, have an ESP/telepathic experience, there is no time lag. It is instantaneous. Maybe that means that ESP is an other dimensional phenomena/shift? If that is true, then some people can manipulate interdimensional travel. It is something to think about over your cornflakes.

The spring I was seven, this wonderful experience happened. Since that time, it influenced my philosophy, my religion and who I am. I tried to learn about it at the public library. Burke, 18somethingAD, was the the only reference I could find. This was pre "New Age". If this is your experience, hopefully, my story will help you.

A warm breeze played with my fine blond hair. The southern spring warmth surrounded me, embraced me, as I walked home from the corner grocery store. My bare feet felt good on the concrete sidewalk. I dawdled, walking half time tempo. The bees buzzed loudly in the pink crepe myrtle blossoms. As if in a daydream, I felt content and totally happy. I looked up.

The vast expanse of blue was clear. No clouds. The clear sky went on forever. I tried to imagine how far I could see.

There was a shift of perspective. I was no longer outside, looking in. I became part of the sky. Everything vibrated. I vibrated. I was made of vibrating bubbles of lights and colors. I was no longer solid. Nothing was solid. Everything vibrated at the same speed. I felt incredible peace and joy. Ecstasy! A thought formed in my mind.

During those moments, nothing existed but Pure Love. Everything was pure love. I was pure love.

As suddenly as it had started, it stopped. I walked home. I didn't tell anyone.

Over many years, I have yearned for that feeling. Never again, like that perfect moment. Just that once. But, in other ways, that feeling has never left me. That feeling is my benchmark for the ultimate. From the beginning, I thought that I had looked at God and God looked at me. Then again, God is not separate. God is the whole, of which I am a part. My perception and these words limit me.

When a southern preacher yelled about "God's Wrath", I thought, "No. Not my God." When someone preached about "Original Sin", I thought, "No. God wouldn't give us that guilt, people would." When pictures depict God as "Charlton Heston", I think, "No. Much, much, much bigger." I did not see God as an entity who occupies a finite space. God was everything... time, space, light matter, dark matter, all energy, all sounds, this dimension, every dimension... on and on... without limit. God is harmony. God is balance. God is laughter. God is Pure Love... and that Love includes Everyone and Everything.

Dear Reader, as you know, motivation for religions are interesting. All have some kernal of truth. If they did not, they would not exist. My litmus test for an acceptable religion is this: does it exclude anyone?
