 Preface

When I was in grade school learning about the explorers, I decided that I wanted
to be an explorer myself. So, imagine my disappointment upon learning that all
the continents had already been discovered. Now I like to joke that they saved
the consonants for me (and the wise old Vowels that give them all their voice).

Working intuitively and from divine inspiration, I have managed to decode a

handful of letters and to weave them into what I pray will be illuminating
manuscripts. In this, my first E-Book, I look more closely at the Letter E, itself
the most frequently used letter of the Alphabet.

 Introduction

Think you know the Alphabet?

Well, thINK again.

Of course if you’re a native speaker, then you learned the names of all 26-letters
when you were very small. And you can certainly use them to cast spells more
or less. However, like most everyone else, you are likely to believe that the
alphabet is a system of meaningless symbols for meaningless sounds.

Well, don’t let the letters’ apparent simplicity

dissuade you from looking more closely.

Symbols are generally recognized as the language of the unconscious. So doesn’t

it seem strange that we are basically unconscious to the significance in the most
prevalent set of symbols on the planet?

Rarely do we give thought to the fact that this handful of letters is capable of
generating a near-infinite number of words in a multitude of languages. And
only a curious few among us explore the ancient history and esoteric mystery of
the letters that have found their way into our Alphabet

What I have found, however and am now eager to share with you is that
just by peering more deeply into the sounds and shapes of letters and words, we
may catch sight of our own reflection.

So follow me now through the long-neglected portal marked A N-

counter the N-chanting whirled of linguistic synchronicities where symbols and
sounds in letters and words come alive and speak for themselves revealing
some of our own deepest secrets.

Once within this mysterious realm you will see that every cymbal of the alphabet
has fasten8-ing rePercussions. And every word we speak and write has eL-eM-
eN-tal eN-aR-Gz that set off strong reVERBerations affecting every aspect of our
lives for good or ill. It then becomes quite easy to see that the best way to
protect ourselves from the awesome power of the Word is to practice this slightly
modified old adage

 Reading the Signs & Sounding the Cymbals

Here’s how I play the game I call Alphabet Alchemy, which is how I’ve been
schooled by my ABC’s:

First, I look at the capital E and see that if we use the right font its shape makes
sense with each quarter turn, shifting it from E, to M, to 3, to W.1

Then, I notice that the capital E is composed of three parallel horizontal lines
connected by 1 vertical line at the left edge.
• The number 1, itself, looks like a lower-case l and like a capital I. All three
form a stick figure of one person standing tall.
• I also see how closely related is the capital L to the capital E. And, if I read the
L symbolically (like a Chinese ideogram), I see it as 1 person standing one’s
ground.
• By contrast, the E is like 1 person who lives in balance on all three planes of
existence simultaneously: The physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual.
• Finally, I draw a parallel between the E as an expression of our identity
and the word PARALLEL, which also contains 3 parallel lines. I interpret
both as indicating that balance is required for us to be unique, upright
individuals.

Considering the E as being largely about our I, we then can see that when the
lower case e is followed by Y and then by a second e, it rePresents our upper face
and equates our eyes with our eYe-dentity.

From this I deduce that what makes us each unique is our individual
perspectives or outlook on life. When we give up our sovereign vision to accept
someone else’s dogmatic position as many children are compelled to do when
indoctrinated into their family’s religion then the expression of our eYe-
dentity starts to look identical with that of other people.

Perhaps this is why, “Almost everyone is born a genius and buried an idiot,” in
the words of 20th C American writer Charles Bukowski. Fortunately, however,
this need not be our fate no matter how inferior our schooling.

The ultimate source of wisdom is our own Soul in-formed through reverential
interaction with Mother Nature. And our eYes are ‘the windows to our Soul.’
The fact that there is a Pupil at the c-enter of every I/eYe clearly indicates that

1
Anyone know a good font for that ‘trick?

we are designed to be life-long students of our own Soul rather than adherents to
someone else’s pin-point-of-view. Thus, I conclude, that it matters less how well
we look than it does how well we see.

It is through the uniqueness of our perceptions and expressions that we may

develop as unparalleled individuals. And when we follow our own inner light,
then we are naturally inspired and compelled to contribute love and wisdom to
the world. For we are each an I of the Creator sounding a singular note in the
Universe. And when we create, we feel divine!

Now, moving from symbols to sounds, I listen to the sound of the ‘long E’
because it is what gives voice to 17 of the 21 consonants:
• Seven by preceding the letter: eF, eL, eM, eN, eS, eU, eX
• Nine by following after: Be, See, De, E, Gee, Pea/Pee, Tea, V, Z
• And one upon occasion: Y2

E is also an essential letter in contemporary society with all our e-prefixed

technology.

Surprisingly, E is even more eL-eM-eN-tal to the Biblical story of Genesis. So, let
us now walk through that storied door together.

 The Genesis Emphasis in English

Consider that the 1st Woman is named Eve. And the Garden in which Eve
dwelled with Adam in all innocence and ease is called Eden.

The fact that all needs were met,

may even be the reason NEED and EDEN
share the same 3 letters of the Alphabet.

According to Genesis, it was the naïve evil of Eve (a phrase that’s such fun to
say) that led her to take a bite from the forbidden fruit and persuade Adam to do
the same.
Now, here’s what I believe about that pivotal event:

The Apple in the Story

of Adam and Eve

It was Delicious!

It took just one bite of that potent fruit to catapult the first couple out of EDEN
and into NEED and into centuries of murderous misogyny. I was captivated by
this peculiar metaphor because

I found it so hard to believe that both Adam and Eve

were so wholly naïve to the Serpent’s Seduction
that without hesitation they fell to temptation
which was the causation for
Eden’s Destruction.

Then, I learned that in Latin a word pronounced ‘malum’

means Apple and Evil which explained the upheaval:
Paradise was undone by Original Pun
so that Life became PUNishment
rather than Fun!3

Because of the 1st Serpent’s diabolical treachery, a fear and loathing of snakes
actually transferred over to an ancient aversion to the Letter S, itself. In the World
of Words: The Personalities of Language, author Gary Jennings writes,

“It is a minor wonder that the letter S is still with us; it and its sibilant siblings in
other alphabets have been abhorred by people who perceived in them the shape

or sound of the dread serpent or the monogram of the even more dreaded Satan.
The Yezedi Arabs won’t pronounce the letter. The Hebrew scribes took care not
to use it in the opening pages of the Scriptures. The Greek poet Pindar omitted it
from his odes. The medieval Romans’ use of the S as their numeral for 7 may
have been intended to take the curse off it by linking it with that traditionally
“lucky” number.”4

In eSoterica by Laurel Airica5 which I feel safe in claiming to be the ‘definitive

exegesis on the Letter S in verse’ I point to an overlooked yet powerful
possibility lurking in that fateful byte of Apple:

We fear the S
that slippery Snake
whose cunning caused us to forSake
the Word of God and thus to take
the chance that we might Fall
… aWake!

 Guilty or Innocent?

From E to Eve to Evil, we’re carried along a serpentine stream of consciousness

till we come face-to-face with Original Sin6 the ultimate ‘S’ word. Perhaps so
many of us have accepted this concept as an undeniable fact even when
beholding the innocent beauty of a baby because it ‘rings true’ to our ears.

I actually believe that the concept is sonically correct. It’s just that it has been
misspelled for eons, literally condemning us to hellish rePercussions.

Original Syn is our natural state of being sync-ed up with Spirit, synthesized
from stardust, synonymous with Source, synergistic with each other, and
synchronistic in miraculous encounters when living and loving with that ever-
delicious sync-ing feeling.

So a primary purpose of life in a dimension of illusion must surely be to awaken

from the dream that we are separate from our Source and from each other.
Personally, I find it helpful to remember that

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the Tree

as it seeds itself in perpetuity.

And neither do we.

There is wisdom at the Core of Us All

We are not the worms we have dreamed ourselves to be.

We are butterflies traveling incognito from our own awareness

and the struggles we encounter can empower us to break free.

This brings us next to a new understanding of Original Innocence in its four basic
stages and as an evolutionary process:

1. First there is the innocence of ignorance: In-no-Sense

2. Then, there is the innocence of our sensory perceptions: In-a-Sense
3. There is the innate innocence of direct intuition, so potent in a child: Inner Sense
4. Finally, there is the innocence of Purity when we’ve accepted and Re-Paired our
innate duality: In Essence

And yet, how soon we forget.

I always found some consolation for my pervasive sense of in-fear-i-r-ity by reminding myself that my
faults/false were not what is True about me.

 The ‘Sin’ of Forget-Fullness7

A few years ago I awoke with the wisp of remembrance of a dream I’d just been
having. In it, I was either reading or listening to an advanced English linguist
who explained that once we evolve this language to a higher frequency, the
children being born won’t have to forget who they are, where they come from,
and why they are here.

In its current state, our language ‘puts a little English’ on our subconscious
minds thereby spinning the lens through which we view the whirled. In the mid-
15th Century, William Caxton, a writer, printer, merchant and diplomat, noted
that native speakers of English are as if ‘living under the domination of the
Moon.’

Caxton may have been referring to the protean nature of the English tongue with
its molten streams of influence flowing from many sources into this single
sea/see of consciousness. But he may as well have been referring to the lunacy
that English fosters in our thinking.

I have long thought of this dimension of existence as BackWord Land since so

many of our personal and institutional behaviors mirror our higher values in
opposition. Then, I read a statement that helped me understand how this came to
be:

“When the Christians came to power in Britain, anything heathen was

automatically bad. Consequently, everything that had a strong meaning to the
Anglo-Saxons was reversed 180 degrees. This reversal not only affected the
people and their traditions, but also the English language we use today.”8

The ultimate BackWord must surely be DOGMA

witch9 mirrors our true nature in reverse: AM GOD.

Some people make light of the fact that

GOD and DOG are mirrors of each other
as if the lowly DOG denigrates the Word of GOD
But what better teacher
of Unconditional Love is there
on Earth than the DOG!

Thank you to Jeremy Rumble for recognizing the deeper message in Forgetfulness.

 I AMNESIA

Most all of us suffer from the crippling disease of I Amnesia the temporary
loss of infinitely long-term memory. Perhaps to some degree it is because of both
intentionally imposed as well as naturally occurring linguistic twists that
we become strangers to ourselves as we age.

The Fall from Grace may thus come down to a spell of forget-fullness that has
led us to overlook our spiritual capacities for Love, Bliss and Creativity in a
UniVerse of unlimited possibilities. Our children see themselves as superheroes
perhaps because they’re still in touch with their super-natural origins. How
sad that they ‘grow’ out of this as they become adult/a dolt.

The forgetfulness of who and what we really are fuels the competitive drive that
compels many members of the human Race to do whatever it takes to gain the
greatest influence and affluence in pursuit of a life of E’s. Thus, the question we
must ask ourselves is whether the Prize is worth the Price?

David Merrick, the 20th Century’s leading Broadway producer of Tony Award
winning plays and musicals, had this to say about what it takes to be #1:

“I compare it to climbing Mt. Everest. It is very difficult. Lives are lost along the
way. You struggle and struggle and finally you get up there. And guess what
there is when you get up there? Snow and ice.”10

How ironic it is that the highest peak above see-level that one can aspire to climb
at risk of life and limb is famously known as Mt. Ever Rest. It stands in
sharp contrast with that icon of rugged individualism of get-it-for-yourself-at-
whatever-cost-to-everyone-else American Capitalism Mt. Rush More.

But what is it that we are seeking in all our rushing to get more? Without a doubt,
it is the simple Peace of Heart and Mind that comes with a sense of feel-full-ment
the imperturbable equanimity we experience when we know in our bones that
we are Enough.

Not everyone has the stamina or the will to make the endless upward climb to
the Eden of Ever Rest. Some who can’t manage it may still seek to sneak a ‘peek’
experience of that lofty realm through the use of an addictive substance like

cocaine, a word with little-known yet highly appropriate echoes from a bygone
age:

“Cockaigne or Cockayne is a land of plenty in medieval myth, an imaginary place

of extreme luxury and ease where physical comforts and pleasures are always
immediately at hand and where the harshness of medieval peasant life does not
exist.” Wikipedia

“The term "Cockaigne" comes from the Middle French phrase pais de
cocaigne, which literally means "the land of plenty." The word was first
popularized in a 13th-century French poem that is known in English as The
Land of Cockaigne. According to an early English translation of the work, in
Cockaigne ‘the houses were made of barley sugar cakes, the streets were
paved with pastry, and the shops supplied goods for nothing.’ 11 …
Merriam-Webster.com

This description of Cockaigne sounds like some descriptions I’ve heard of the
astral plane, which many equate with Heaven a word that evokes a sense of
peace and tranquility though it is composed primarily of HEAVE, which means
‘to raise or lift with effort or force.’12 Here again we find the sound of EVE
lurking in the midst of struggle.

Actually, I believe that we are harmonically designed to anchor Heaven on Earth.

However, in order to do so we must first look more closely at how it is we define
‘success’ so that we are no longer willing to sacrifice everything of value (often
including our integrity and family) in order to achieve little more than ‘snow and
ice.’

Here is a different way of understanding what I believe actually constitutes

success. It occurred to me in the form of an acronym when I was editing a book
on a relevant topic for a client years ago13:

S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

Serving Universally by Contributing Creatively

to the Evolution of the Sacred in Society

11
Maybe it was in this ‘idler’s paradise’ that the term ‘good-for-nothing’ was coined.
12
Dictionary.com
13
I included this acronym in my client’s book and encouraged him to spread the word. However, since he
didn’t do so, I asked his permission to make it known to others since it seems divinely given.

 Give ‘Er ‘EL

One way to support the evolution of the sacred in society is to redeem poor Eve,
the first and foremost Fall Gal, whose name resonates with the sound of EVE-L.

As a teenager, I surmised that L is the Lord of the AlphaBet14 wielding its

power to instantly turn the WORD into the WORLD, and to reveal what so many
worship as GOD on Earth: GOLD.

It was apparently when EVE put the Word of the Lord behind her that she gave
birth to EVE-L in the world.15 Here’s how I see it:

It was Eve’s Ego that drove her

to emerge-n-see what life was like beyond their static Paradise.
Though Eden was extremely nice, it clearly wasn’t enough for her
For Eve wanted to be frEE

So, now I see the Genesis myth quite differently: I recognize that Eve’s eager
eating of the apple even knowing the divine admonition NO KNOW is
what transformed the ecology of the Earth, and incited us each to evolve.

And when She/We

allow ourselves to be led by Source
the voice of Inner Wisdom
then everything will ultimately
L-EVE-L out.

What divine poetic justice it is that the transition between day and night is
known to us as the EVEN-ing time. Second chances are ever at hand even at
the hands of the ever-rigid c/LOCK!

Unfortunately for most of us, however, the judgments we pronounce upon

ourselves each day turn our learning process from Trial and Error into Error and
Trial. No doubt a Terror of errors is our natural response to the endless and
horrendous repercussions of Eve’s misguided mis-take.16

14
The sound of L is ‘She’ in French, ‘He’ in Spanish, ‘The’ in Arabic and other languages, and ‘God’ in
Hebrew. Bi-lingualists and polyglots among us can fill in further details about L’s role in other languages.
15
The story of Eve finds it parallel in the Greek myth of the first human woman, Pandora, whose name
means ‘all-gifted’ or ‘all-giving.’ It was likely the onslaught of the patriarchy that demoted Pandora from a
bringer of blessings to the releaser of evil into the world. Here again, this demotion was conceived as a
punishment exacted on humanity by a supreme being. In this instance, it was Zeus, the divine CEO of the
Greek pantheon, who was enraged over the fact that Prometheus, a second tier god, had given the power of
Fire and the gift of metalwork to humanity to assist our way forward.

Clearly, we have been tangled like innocent kittens in Biblical yarns. Still, parts of
the story pre-written into English can be put together to help us out of our
dilemma.

First off, we can notice that anagrammatically speaking Being is present

right from the Beginning.

“...in terms of the anthropic principle ... the human is seen as a mode of being of
the universe as well as a distinctive being in the universe. ... The human is that
being in whom the universe comes to itself in a special mode of conscious
reflection. That some form of intelligent reflection on itself was implicit in the
universe from the beginning is now granted by many scientists.”17

Over time, as we become more conscious of the fact that we are far more than we
ever believed ourselves to be and what we call reality is a collective fantasy.
Thus, we evolve from a lower to a higher state of consciousness, from a veritable
Human Bean, to a Human Being, to a Humane Being, and ultimately to a
radiating Light Beam.

This simple AlphaBet poem illustrates the pleasures of ascension:

A Light

Be Light

See Light

DeLight

16
For goodness sake, it’s Psych 101 to know that if only one thing is denied us in a whole bushel of
blessings, it will be that one thing that has our most ardent a-tension. So surely putting the apple off-limits
and a betrayer in the Garden is a form of divine entrapment that inculcates within us a fear of the
wrath of a jealous male deity who tolerates no breach of the rules.
17

 Apocalypse or Apotheosis18

Ascension is not a head-trip it is a heart trip. The ancient Egyptians

considered the Heart to be the seat of intelligence. However, in our era the Heart
has taken a back seat to the brain or maybe it has been hidden away in the
trunk. This would certainly explain why

We’re like an idiot savant. We’ve a grand intellect to flaunt

but only just the smallest ration of deep wisdom and compassion.
And there is really nothing smart about a brain without a heart
although it seems to be the ultimate seduction
because it grants us unchecked power
but just to bring our darkest hour –
as it endows us with a genius
for destruction.19

Just imagine, then, what might change within and around us simply by adding
an L with all the significance it carries to the ‘spelling’ of intelligent.

INTELLIGENT+L = INTELLIGENTLe

By striving to be our most INTELLIGENTLE selves, we can unleash a wise and

powerful force for Good on Earth.

The word ‘gentle’ originally meant ‘well born of noble rank or family.’ This is
true for us all. For, regardless of who and how our parents were or the
circumstances of our entrance into this dimension we all come from the same
Original Source. The capacity for generosity of Spirit, nobility of mind, and
brilliance of inspired ideas is everybody’s natural inheritance to claim or not.

“Everyone, when they get quiet, when they become desperately honest with themselves, is
capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no
mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all
musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.” 20

Here’s my way of saying the same thing:

We’ve a cellular line to the Divine but ego causes static.

As we each let go and enjoy the flow our lives become X-Static!

 Anchoring Heaven on Earth

Each of us has a built-in compass to guide our life’s journey on the path of
ascension. It is located in our heart and is written COMPASSion.

So what if, instead of winning a celebrated Purple Heart for getting wounded or
murdered in battle leaving our loved ones completely bereft21 we each
could strive to earn a Violet E in Peace by ‘Lettering in Humanity’ through acts
of loving-kindness? Might that possibility inspire more people to aspire to evolve
from being merely human to becoming fully HumanE?

The Big Secret, of course, is that being kind and compassionate toward other
beings actually feeds our own hearts with a sweetness more delicious than
forbidden fruit.

And because of how wonderful it can actually make us feel, I’ve come to
recognize it as a higher form of hedonism22 that deserves its own descriptive
word. So I coined this delicious verbal mouthful

Meta-trans-sensuous-supra-sexual-para-hedonism

I define it as a form of intercourse that we can readily enjoy all day every day
with Perfect Strangers as well as with our loved ones. And as Ralph Waldo
Emerson so succinctly put it:

"You and I can never do a kindness too soon, for we never know how soon it will
be too late."

Unfortunately, not enough of us have discovered yet the Honey Pot at the center
of genEROSity. So, in addition to speaking of the need for greater ‘band width’
to be able to comprehend complex subject matter, I believe it would also be
useful to speak of our need for adequate Hz (pronounced Hurts) to amplify our
capacity for compassion.

It can take a high frequency of Hz to activate an on-going flow of love, wisdom

and kindness toward all forms of life our own selves included. Fortunately,
the pay-off is Enormous. Here’s one of my favorite statements concerning the
path to the awakening of deeper compassion within us and the attainment of
the Violet E:

 “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of
the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an
understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep
loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”23

Of course, too many Hz can cultivate our capacity to perpetrate EVE-L in the
world. But that just proves how much we need each other’s compassionate
presence as mirrors of our better selves.

I am convinced that no matter who we are or how we may have behaved up till
now
When our hearts open wide
there are angels inside!

There really are no rotten apples in the barrel; just some very badly bruised ones
who seek to exorcise their pain by spoiling things for everybody else. In no way
do I make light of the great suffering they may inflict. I simply cannot make
darkness of them.

 Love-Evolves

If you are reading these words then chances are that you, too, have felt that this
is the time for which we all took birth. Something ‘soul-size’ is upon us that is
requiring us to Evolve and E-merge as one conscious, compassionate, creative
super-organism contributing to the Common Wealth on which we all depend.

Our survival as a species clearly requires that enough of us make the

fundamental shift from EGO- to GEO-Centricity, and from humankind as a
scourge upon the Earth to HumanKindness, capable of supporting life in all
its diversity and in perpetuity. As we do so, it will become clear to more of us
that when we were tasked …in the Beginning … to be the Keepers of the Earth, it
meant Protectors not Possessors. We are to be the Guardians of the Garden not
the rapists of Her resources.

The close relationship between the words EARTH and HEART certainly seems
like a clue hidden in plain view that the purpose of Life on Earth is to get a
HEART not get a HEAD. We are already so far ahead of ourselves when it comes
to the disparity between advances in technology and the wisdom required to use
it constructively.

Similarly, the first and foremost response to global warming of the Earth
obviously has to be a global warming of our Hearts that entails the willingness to
share our resources and to make our decisions in terms of the greatest good for
the greatest number. For to paraphrase a statement attributed to Jesus, ‘what is
done unto the least among us is done onto us all.’

In Truth
We
share one Heart
– our Mother Earth –
And prevent Her death
through our own rebirth.

For we know
the Earth’s one living whole
so our selves are cells of the OverSoul
which means: each prospers – or each one loses –
and each, not God, in private chooses.24

Love is the most potent connecting force in the Universe.25 The French
paleontologist and Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) pointed out that

“If there were no internal propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously

rudimentary level – indeed in the molecule itself -– it would be physically
impossible for love to appear higher up, with us, in ‘hominized’ form. … Love is
the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in
fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.”

I call that sweet delicious magnetism

That binds the Universe together
And each of us to each other
Gluclose

The fact that Love is the energy that propels evolution is inscribed in the word,
itself. As many have now noticed when we turn LOVE around, we begin to
EVOLve.

Here is an image of LOVE and EVOLve intertwined like the strands of DNA –
the whole basis for biological existence.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take a significant portion of the population of the world to

wake up to the insanity of our pursuits in order to shift the trajectory of our
species. According to scientist, author and speaker Gregg Braden, only the
square root of 1% of the global population needs to make the shift to higher
consciousness to lift everyone else. To paraphrase the late Dr. David Hawkins,
the higher we go up the scale of consciousness the more people we bring into
accord.

An enormous incentive for ascending the Tree of Consciousness is the fact that
the sweetest fruit is on the highest branches. I do not claim to be anywhere near
such lofty heights. It’s just that I’ve tasted enough to know in which direction to
incline. And as its spelling indicates, we have to have clear vision in order to
make a good decision:

offence punishable by death. …. Throughout world literature, art and mythology, love is often portrayed as
running contrary to power.” The Heresy of Compassion, Geoff Olsen, 2004

 Taking Up Resonance on E-Z St.

LIFe,by its very nature, is uncertain. So, is it even realistic to strive to achieve an
Edenic life of Ease as in the fabled land of Cockaigne? Many have tried it. Few
have found it even after achieving enormous wealth. All that they lacked was
a sense of Enough26, which isn’t something that money can buy.

This puts me in mind of one of my favorite parables. It goes like this:

An extraordinarily wealthy man couldn’t bear the thought of having to leave it all behind
when he died. So he begged and beseeched God to let him take his great wealth with him.
God finally relented but said, ‘All right. But only one suitcase full.’

So the old man with great relief packed a suitcase full of gold brick and left it under his
bed in anticipation of the appointed hour. When the time came and he showed up
gleefully at the Pearly Gates, suitcase in hand, St. Peter informed him in no uncertain
terms that he could not bring anything with him.

The old man smugly corrected St. Peter, letting him know that God had given him special
permission. Completely astonished St. Peter shrugged his shoulders and told him, ‘This
has never happened before. Ever. Would you mind showing me what it is that you could
not leave behind?’

The old man smiled as he proudly threw open the suitcase to reveal the gleaming golden
bricks. St. Peter looked at it, then looked at the man and asked him with utter amazement:
‘Why in Heaven’s name would you want to bring pavement?!’

I think of Gold as Fool’s God. Certainly, it is far e-z-r and more enjoyable to be
out from under financial pressures and free to pursue our Soul’s Purpose and
Heart’s DeLight. Even then, however, Life’s challenges will always find us.
Fortunately, as we surrender our resistance to them, they can help to catalyze our
metamorphosis.

The most joy-filled woman I have ever known experienced the most pain-filled
life of anyone I’ve ever known. Through spending time with Betsy Taylor it
became clear to me that living a life of E’s is not about having it easy but about
taking it easy by operating from a higher perspective. It is precisely because she
had to endure so much physical and emotional pain and loss that Betsy became

26
Seems like all we have to do is breathe the air, drink the water, and learn the language and we contract a
case of ‘The Not-Enuff Stuff’ a perpetual dis-ease caused by the b-LIE-f that we can never have enuff
or do enuff to Be enuff ourselves. I once read that Western society is the only one in which being adequate
is woefully inadequate. Such a sense of insufficiency fuels our whole economy! What a Joke on us!

able to ‘overcome the world!’27 Imagine having that phrase stamped on your
karmic dossier!

Here’s what physicist Brian Swimme28 has to say about living the E-Z life:

“The conclusion is, forget about getting comfortable. We live in a Universe that is
filled with this kind of tension and violence. But the aim is not like security –
getting a great 401K and then you can relax. The aim is to participate in the
creativity. Knowing about the fierce dimension of the universe keeps us from
sliding into compromises we will eventually hate and choosing instead to be at
the cutting edge of what might bring forth a more harmonious future.”

Existence is fraught with disruption. And because words speak for themselves, I
look at the neXus of the X as the place where matter is ignited with the fire of life
as the Infinite invests itself in its innumerable infinitesimal vessels. It’s an
incredibly tight squeeze in there because eX-is-Tense!29

For so many of us, the chronic discomfort we feel in our small terrestrial bodies
comes from living a life that is far too small for the divinely-human beings we all
are. We are living in a multiverse of unlimited possibilities under the restrictive
conditioning imposed by an array of residual, unconscious constraints. The
English language, itself, in its current iteration, is one of the most mind-bending
forces of limitation, especially as it reflects and perpetrates cultural dogma.

‘Dogma’ is literally a bitch. So, let’s simply dismiss the ‘error message’ of
Original Sin, which we were led to believe was our default setting. Evil isn’t
natural to us or we’d see it playing out in nature all the time.

Evil is the mirror twin of Live. It’s about living life Backwords. That’s why lived
backwords spells devil. Evil also anagrams into vile and veil, which is what it is
the vile veil across our eYes that blinds us to the True Nature of our Original
InEssence. You need only look at the pristine in-no-sense of a healthy young
child without that vile veil to see that we are each unique expressions of
Love and Beauty, Wisdom and Well-Being.

I see us as genies trapped within bottles or like Samson with crew cuts. The hair-
raising threats of mass extinction due to an inflated sense of the egoic-self on
the part of the broken children in high office clearly is our wake-up call to

 Putting it Altogether Alphabetically

Years ago I was struck by the absolutely ludicrous name of Boeing Aircraft’s
oxymoronic B-9 bomber. Looking it up just now on-line, I found that Boeing even
had a Y-B9 bomber. Why indeed!

On the level of global politics, our world is benighted not B-9 (benign). It is
morally ignorant, unenlightened,’ and overtaken by darkness rather than gentle,
gracious and kind.30

Here’s a bit of information I found on-line years ago that helped me understand
the low level of consciousness from which foreign policy is conducted
worldwide:

“According to Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson, ‘The foreign policy of ants

can be summed up as follows: restless aggression, territorial conquest, and
genocidal annihilation of neighbouring colonies wherever possible. If ants had
nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week.’"31

Clearly, now is the time for each of us to become divinely IgKnighted, On

Purpose, and B-9. And just as we speak of the 1% that owns the world’s wealth,
together we can become the √ of 1% of the world’s population that grows so
radiant with Love, High Intention and HumanKindness that we ultimately
succeed in elevating and illuminating Global Consciousness to if you will
‘pardon the pun’ GlowBall Consciousness. As I see it

When the Earth can find a place within our Hearts

with room left over for the Moon, the Sun, all Planets & the Stars.
then our globe will float like a whole note in the UniVerse
A glowing golden orb, in orbit round the Sun
A Heart of Gold on which all Hearts are
One/Won!

To put my conclusions alphabetically, I’ve learned that a life of E’s requires B-ing
in the mOMENt, C-ing clearly, and entering the Heart Land where inner P’s
resides.32

The 3 P’s, or Three Principles, are a lot like the Abraham-Hicks work and were also a ‘divine download.’
They were received in a flash of enlightenment by a poorly educated welder named Syd Banks in the 1970s.
Though it’s far less known than the A-H work, the 3 P’s “has been funded by governments, taught by
schools and universities, and given grants.” You can catch a glimpse of its effectiveness in the brief
YouTube video, The Three Principles Movie ‘Applications’ Trailer. Personally, I find the 3 P’s to be a
whole lot easier to implement since this understanding once it awakens from within through exposure to

Finally (at least for now), just as we cannot have a PLANET without PLANTS, we
cannot have an English-speaking planet without the Letter E, which is the last
symbol in LOVE’s letters and the first in the engine of evolution. Thus it is on
bended knee that I propose to you

Let us all Elope together

as the lovers we were always meant to be.
Let’s leave behind the inner-fear-ances that left us blind
to our own and each other’s
Sacred Human Majesty.

As I become
my whole-sum Self
I ask you to B-U-2-Full.
For we are each like no one else
And together can make miracles.

In the words of that beautiful mystic genius, Teilhard de Chardin:

“Some day, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall
harness for God the energies of love, and then, for the second time in the history
of the world, man will have discovered fire.”

Speak Softly
and Carry a Big

the concepts activates greater inner peace. As a result, I find myself spending far more time than ever
before ‘in the vortex,’ as A-H, puts it, with wonderful results as a consequence. Here’s where you can find
out a lot more about the 3 Principles: 3PGC.org.

 A Mystic Vision for Linguistic Renewal

Here, now, is the vision I hold for what could happen when we collectively,
creatively tune-up the English language to become as resonant and harmonious
with Mother Nature as bird songs33 and cricket choirs. Then, I believe, we may be
able to talk our way out of the illusion of separation back through the Garden
Gates and into our original Edenic state of Peace in Heart and Mind:

Open Heart Source-ery34

“Speak a new language so the world will be a new world.” Rumi

“Come my friends, ‘tis not too late to seek a newer world.” Lord Tennyson

I think of how exquisite it will be

when we endeavor together
to create an enchanting, living language
of SuperNatural poetry
that scintillates so sensually
that everything around
us begins to vibrate
sympathetically.

Our words will ring so true

that our honest expressions initiate
lyrical sensations that every creature can appreciate
since we are all interconnected
genetically and electro-magnetically.

So just as bird-songs, cricket choirs

and other natural voices evoke a wholesome rhythm
and nourishing harmonic for the planet –
our gentle, elemental language
every time it is spoke
will resonate symphonically with Earth
and all upon it.

33
I read years ago on 13moon.com that the Mayans had “….an exquisite language which incorporates the
songs of the birds. The characteristic dynamic of Zuyua Mayan language is that its words are invertible, for
example "y'ak" means "language" and "k'ay" means "song". The Mayan word for flower, "l'ol" literally
means vibration and consciousness.”
34
When I wrote this piece I thought I was being excessive in the vision I was articulating. Then when I read
Wm. Henry’s book, The Language of the Birds, I discovered that what I thought I was my fantasy was part
of ancient mythology.

 Then,
when we give our words
– if they can’t be broken –
we shall spin gold every time they are spoken.

This may sound absurd but let no one scoff it

for when Truth be told it shall make us prophet!

If this
vision vibrates your soul,
then let go of concern for the rules
for trance-formational English grammar
that have made us all such conversational fools
virtually deafened to the defamations
still hidden in the glamour
of our incessant, ancestral verbal
clamor.

Instead,
let go of whatever impediments
have left you feeling anything less than totally literate
and open your Heart’s Mind to allow
the transcendental music of a renewed English language
to endow you with the true sacred spells,
affirming terms, amazing phrases
that can ring all our bells, lift our spirits, sing God’s praises
till our whole communication with the Lord in all Creation
underwrites our transmutation and whirled
reconciliation.

Let’s set tongues wagging around the Earth

with the possibility of sweetening up English
to a True Romance language.

For if
our words so melt the heart
they start the Milk of HumanKindness flowing
– so that every time we speak our mind
we set another flower growing –
then I believe, before our very eyes,
we human beings, like butterflies,
will fully metamorphosize.
27

 And as
new creatures in the Sun
who speak the language that’s become
our Mother Planet’s Mother Tongue
in this first Aquarian millennium
we will talk our way back through the Garden Gate
with words that help reconsecrate this hallowed ground
to which we all our bound by fate.

For with this potent new WordMagic language

that our liberated spirits speak and sing in celebration
of the union of the Highest Being with everything that’s incarnation –
we will succeed in gaining back the Deed to Eden
that will allow us to pass through Adore of Heaven.

And once
our hearts have taken wing
there is no telling what the deep soul velvet of our inner beings
will bring upon this plane of waking dreams.

We only know
that with the lyrics to the Song of Songs
that rings throughout Creation –
we will re-green the meadows of our hearts
with sacred psalms and incantations
and with poems so rich in spirit pollen
mercy grows where words have fallen
and all of us, in faith with trust,
will clearly hear our own
Soul-Calling.

And then –
do you know what we can call this place
when everybody walks and talks with the
wisdom, beauty, mercy, power and grace
of a Buddha or the Christ? Paradise!

For our joyful noise

will have made it possible for us to love and live
on the freer frequency of a Higher Octave.35

 About the Author

Many of the highlights of my life were when I was high on the leaves and seeds
of weeds because the lower floors of ordinary consciousness were already
spoken for by a mentally debilitating depression in which little room was left for
creative expression or for contemplating anything other than the rhythms,
sounds and textures, rhyming sense and passages of words. One hit or two and I
was out of the emotional sulfuric brew and into the purer realms of mental
transcendentalism tunneling like a deep-see diver through the vowels of the
Earth in search of lost consonance.

What I discovered in amongst the s/tyx and s/tones and broken sonic bones of
English verbiage was that the language that vanquished other tongues that
articulated other versions of participative reality was itself stuck in its own
dissipative density and duality such that the sentences we were compelled to
pronounce upon ourselves were condemning us to Hell … unnecessarily.

For there is, as well, another story of existence ringing in the bells and spells of
ordinary English letters and words. And by unearthing these lost resonances
from the shallow sands of our own post-hypnotic obliviousness, we begin to hear
and understand with greater frequencies the positive pulse of creative
symmetries pre-written in the sounds of languished cymbals.

Then, a sense of immense possibilities comes into view, since … in the Beginning
… before Me and You, there was the Word, which seems to me to mean that
there still may be something we can do.

…. With High Intention,

and heightened sensitivity to the electrifying activity of Creative Intelligence,
we can amplify our receptivity to the eloquence of an Heir-Borne language
of elevating words and emancipating metaphor
never as yet heard before that will enable us to write,
anew, Our Genesis.36

 Dedication & Acknowledgements

First of all, to all my incorporeal friends who have been playing with letters and
words with me since I was just a toddler and who continue to in-form me
through all that we discover together.

Next, to the many the guides and angels human and otherwise who have
so generously helped me all along the way.

To my dear and beloved family and friends who are the beautiful flowers and
shady trees that line the path on my life’s journey.

To the lovely Rajie Kablie who while working with Conscious-Evolution and
unbeknownst to me chose to post my most popular YouTube video, The Secret
Spells of the English Language, on C-E’s Facebook page, where it instantly went
viral.

To the brilliant and creative Shane Dieter who recently found me on-line through
that viral video and has dedicated his time and expertise to helping me spread
the WordMagic. It is in response to Shane’s encouragement that I wrote this first
eBook. He is also the divine designer of the cover (www.dieterdesigns.com).

To the masterful Greg Carlwood, who also found that viral video and asked me
to have a conversation with him on his HigherSide Chats podcast exposing a
wider audience to my play with words.

I am grateful, as well, to two very dear friends who proofread this book for me
Renge’ Grace and Thomas Sullivan (though I made more changes afterwards).

I wish I were also thanking my professional editor at this point. However, as a

book editor, myself working under the pressure of time to create my own
offering amidst all my client work I did not seek someone to perform that all-
important task for me. My apologies to my readers if that omission appears to be
a glaring one.

My appreciation goes out to all my readers. I hope you enjoy the journey that
contemplating the Letter E initiated for me. I must say that it came as a total and
welcome surprise. I had no idea where I was heading when I first began to play
with that letter. Many thanks, in advance, for your kind support!
