Today I was doing research on back issues of ION’s Shift in Actions publication Shift Issue #01 and noticed your article entitled “Are Rocks Conscious?”

I could not believe my eyes. For the past 10 years I have been kept busy doing both “mind research” and trying to write a manuscript that puts forward three huge quantum propositions about awareness, life and consciousness. Just exactly what does being aware, and conscious and then alive really mean …. and … how did they each originally come into being?

After having an extremely vivid Einsteinium “Out of Body” experience where I was able to visit the Z.P. Field; visit and tour with an incredible cosmic tour guide and; then given entry into two different incredible libraries of the universe … here are the three shifts we as humans need to learn to accept:

The universe is a living, perceiving (Edgar Mitchell’s question), integrating and evolving system that thinks.
(You obviously know that 1) this is not a new notion and 2) there are numerous works, papers, books, etc that are corroborating this notion, including the works of Gregg Braden - Author of “The Divine Matrix”, Ervin Laszlow’s “Science and The Akashic Field”, Brian Green’s “The Fabric of the Cosmos”, and more recently Gary Schwartz’s “The Living Energy Universe”, or “The G.O.D. Experiments” or his “The Energy Healing Experiments”)

The universe as a collective whole … has a coherent, systemic and sequential process of thinking (of creating, linking and correlating thoughts) that … can readily be readily defined, i.e. the universe has a sequential, recursive and integrative software protocol for thinking.

Being co-creative results (cause and effects) of “The Universe”, the human species has been endowed with the identical same thinking and life providing software protocol as the universe which in turn:

i) Enables man to think … then emotionalize his thoughts … which thus mobilizes and manifests his energy into behavioral activity.

ii) Enables the universe to co-communicate with man through a universally accepted software protocol.

The means to prove the three declarations made above is what I am now working on. That having been said …..

Now I bring you back to your initial Socratic question …

“Are Rocks Conscious”

I now quote a small section within my draft manuscript. If you do not have the time, curiosity or inclination to read the following section then all it really proclaims is that …

Rocks are not dead, they are not without awareness … they are not without states of consciousness … and they are not without the capacity to create emergent properties. Rocks are in that sense … very much alive and singing at the top of their lungs. 
The Story of Where It All Began
A few years back I had a most unusual experience. One night while sleeping I found myself inside a deep presence of totally black space, devoid of everything except awareness.

All I could sense was this incredibly peaceful … infinite space of timelessness deep within this black void. I could sense its presence all around me as it seemed to be embracing me and I it in its amazing state of total and unconditional acceptance. It was the most peaceful experience I have ever encountered in my life. Then my awareness focused even deeper upon was the immensity of its size and its infinite history. It was infinite without boarder or boundary and yet, it was so black that nothing could be seen. Yet somehow I knew with a profound level of knowing … it was man’s infinite and timeless home of always.

I had entered into an eternal state of awareness … and at first … in a timeless moment … I experienced this space as “Other.” It was as though I was the observer observing the Observed. And immediately as that awareness occurred, a second and deeper level of awareness arose beyond verbal description. I literally became the Observed. No more separateness, no more me observing the observed. I literally became the infinite and timeless state of Pure Energy Awareness, aware of my infinite and timeless state of being … just Pure Awareness … of Pure Awareness. My limited, first awareness observer self … became one with the Observed. There is no other way to describe this mindful state of the timeless and infinite state of infinite acceptance and peace. I was in a state of bliss that is beyond any earthly perceptual experience.

Then, far away at a distance there appeared a small speck of light the size of the period ending this sentence. Months later when a dear friend - that had recently had a near death experience on the operating table - asked me if this speck of light came to me or if I went to it. He and I both just smiled in resonant silence. We both knew that we both knew. The question was a rhetoric paradox. Einstein was correct. We had both experienced the meaning of relativity. Not a word was spoken. Silence said it all.

Then as the speck of light came closer, it began to take on the shape of a small hula-hoop circle that slowly grew to 12 feet in diameter somehow denoting the configuration of a cosmic clock with a white glowing personage standing outside the ring at the 1:00 position. This person radiated as an extremely bright glowing white light while the background remained absolutely silent, deep and black. The bodily outline separating him from the black void was extremely distinct. There were no fuzzy lines of demarcation separating his bodily outline from black background what so ever, just a perfect and separate outline of his glowing and smiling essence.

Months later when sharing this experience with my friend he asked me, “Larry were you experiencing the absolute of light, or the absolute absence of all darkness?” I can not begin to tell you where his question sent me. A few moments passed as tears of honesty came forth (even now years later as I am reediting this event my eyes are tearing). His question again needed no answer. It was merely a way to share with me … we both knew. We both silently smiled as my eyes and nose once again began to leak.

Well this enlightened personage then asked me a really simple question and by his question it was obvious that he already knew my nature and response. “Larry would you like to see something really cool?” And with that question and my inner smile we both found ourselves walking along a stone path on the most beautiful university campus I have ever seen. I could not help but notice that the waving trees and grass, the fluffy clouds, blue sky and sun all seemed to be vibrantly alive, singing their love to the world.

As we approached a first set of granite stepping stones leading up to the library my left foot landed upon the first stair stone. I could not help but notice that my foot descended deep within the granite stepping stone, obviously worn into a concave depression over centuries of use by countless others preceding me making entry into this grand library.

Feeling this unusual depression through my foot, I looked down to satisfy my curiosity and visually noticed the step’s concave shape. At that very instant a gleam of sunlight reflecting from a spec of granite mica reflectively beamed back up into my right eye. Immediately I entered within the light beam and, at what I sensed as the speed of light, my awareness self entered deep within that solid granite stepping stone. What I saw, heard, felt and experienced is again beyond any words of human expression.

At first it was like the infinite black void. All I was aware of was a black void of immense peaceful energy. And then, what seemingly was a void of nothing, emerged a concentric circle of subatomic “energy strings” connecting lots and lots of energy particles that looked like glowing pearls. Imagine if you will, slowly rising from nothing, a four foot long, and three foot in diameter concentric circular string of singing pearls. The strings were each vibrating at alternate yet complementary frequencies separated by glowing pearls that seemed to be adsorbing and retaining musical energy packets passed back and forth among the string of pearls. It was as thought the vibrating strings had more energy than they could dissipate so the pearls were momentarily adsorbing the excess energy as storage batteries for future string emissions. Yet it was more than just that. The strings seemed to not only be releasing energy waves to each other … they also seemed to be adsorbing energy waves from other members of their choir thus sending, receiving and all sharing in their excitement of life.

Then an amazing thing happened. The first concentric curtain … of cosmic harmonics … called fort and brought up inside its circle a similar concentric choir of a glowing set of strung beads. But this time the second set seemed to be singing a different yet complementary and even more beautiful pattern of energy. And the second set actually created what I call a first resonant harmonic state or field to the first choir. For a few moments, they just seem to sing to each other, to communicate at levels way beyond man’s perception. That first resonant harmonic field and the presence it created was … well … I just can’t describe it.

Then as amazing as the last event, the first two choirs called up a third set - arising once again but this time within the center of the second set. There right before me were three separate and concentrically arranged sets of singing strings of pearls … with each set creating a first level resonant harmonic … three resonant harmonic fields … from three uniquely unified energy fields.

Then each of those three 1st level resonant harmonic fields created two higher resonant harmonic fields Meta to the 1st … upon which they in turn unleashed the Meta of all Meta Resonant Harmonic Fields.

It was as though every string … every bead was “IN” some sort of set of “relationship patterns”, with all … as all related to each other through an amazing interchange of their emissions and their simultaneous receipt of multiple levels of primary, secondary and tertiary energy fields … of multiple emergent harmonic energy frequencies. I felt, no I was the experience of the unity in, with and of them … and the absolute unity that I was with … and of … each and every micro-particle or energy wave and their loving acceptance of all. There was no me anymore. It was just oneness. Yet as the same time, I felt as though they wished to offer me a gift of incredible understanding. It felt as thought I was in the middle of … become part of … and had integrated within the very depths of my Soul … a Cosmic Choir of singing angles. Never ever would I be the same.

Then as quickly as I had entered - what I later referred to as - the celestial rock concert, I rejoined my celestial tour guide and entered the library.

We walked across century old, yellowish brown hardwood floors as I was experiencing the simplicity of its design and architectural beauty. We approached a six foot long wooden study table and I sat down. He then asked me “Larry would you like to read a book?” to which I responded “Sure.” Turning around while still seated, I noticed a book behind me on the shelf. My left arm literally extended and stretched some 12 feet, retrieved the book, brought it back and placed it upon the table right in front of me.

I then read that book by flashing the pages as fast as I could fan them at an amazing photo-reading speed. Literally, as fast as I could fan-turn the pages, I was aware, grasped and understood – at a very, very deep level – the author’s intention and total book content. It was then that the Guide asked me, “So Larry, did you like what you just read?” He once again had that funny little smile as he asked me the question. He already knew. Speech is redundant at this Meta level of communication. Habitually however I responded with an upturned intonation, “Yes.” He then asked me if I would like to put the book back and I said “Yes” … and did so with my arm stretching out once again some 12 feet.

He then asked me, “Larry are you ready to go?” to which I smiled and said enthusiastically “Sure”. When I stood up from the wooden chair and table where I had been sitting, the bottom wooden rungs of the chair vibrated across the hardwood floor and the strangest thing happened. The chair’s vibration energy waves reflecting off the wooden wall some 30 feet away bounced back and entered into my left ear a few nano or femto seconds prior to entering into my right ear. Instantly I was aware the table and chair where I had been sitting were not perfectly perpendicular to the facing wall. The acuity level of my auditory perceptions of that energy wave was uncanny!

When we finally left the building, yet still standing on the exit landing of the library, we both watched as a young lady approached the entrance door to the library. He then asked me “Larry, do you think she has read that book?” I responded slowly … “Probably not.” He then asked me, “Larry do you think you are better then she is because you have?” Now he wasn’t smiling, yet I felt no judgment or embarrassment, it was just a simple question. I looked at him and said with total yet polite certainty “No.” Then he commented, “That’s right. Larry, at some time in your future, your curiosity will gain you access to the infinite library of the universe”.

Then just as he said those precise words, my mind, my awareness, or perhaps it was my Spirit-Sole-Self … immediately (and I literally mean immediately) went into this immense eternal library of the universe. Again … “a oneness of being with” was kinesthetically sensed. When I came back and rejoin with him on the library porch he just expressed that funny smile again. I knew I had been somewhere … yet I could not recall or remember a single thing about where I had just gone … just that … I had been there and then nothing.

There was a difference about me I could sense it … sort of like a change in my density … but I could not think, reflect or ponder upon anything specific. Had I been shown something … had I acquired an inner awareness of something … and if so, what did it mean … and when would my human mind understand? How and when was I to begin to use this new found humility and curiosity to gain access to the most amazing library of the universe?

This was the first experience of its kind from which others later followed. I can not begin to tell you how this affected my life and sent me on a quest to talk to numerous religious leaders, seek out others with similar experiences and to read books on OBE’s, NDE’s quantum physics, psi and the paranormal and to join such serious and level headed research groups as the Institute Of Noetic Sciences or IONS.

Who am I to say that I really went to the Cosmic Libraries of all libraries? Who am I to say that I was allowed to merge with, experience, see, sense, understand and come back with something meaningful and important to mankind? To say or even imply that smacks of egocentricity at its worst. Yet deep within lies an incredible and powerful force, similar to the archetype of the Native American Timber Wolf that will not let me rest. This story must be shared. I am only the servant of the message. I am bound as servant … either to a very clever, cunning, hidden and manipulative ego … or as servant to something very important. Its story must be told. I will let time decipher its truth … just as the reader will ultimately decide for themselves.

Are Rocks Conscious …
and …
Is There Such A Thing as A Celestial Rock Concert?
