The RAINBOW Bridge of Passination

 The RAINBOW Bridge 

of Passination

“The Creating Power of Imagination and Passion”

The world of Toodae was built on the edge of a canyon so deep that the sun never touched its bottom.  For centuries, the people believed the canyon was cursed… an ancient wound in the earth left by the gods to punish arrogance.  

The Wholly Edict, their oldest law, declared that no bridge should ever span it, for to do so would defy the natural order or their realm.


Then a few “Awakened Ones” known as budding masters, who had grown up with that law etched into their minds, like the grooves in the canyon walls, discovered they also carried another inheritance… their Spirit Selves who would suggest that maybe the gods had not cursed the canyon, but left it as a challenge.

"The World", 

their Spirit Selves would whisper, 

in a still-small-voice, 

“is not a prison… 

it is a Question or Opportunity.”

When famine struck and the fertile lands of milk and honey across the canyon lay unreachable, the lawmakers clung to the Wholly Edict.  

“We cannot break the natural law,” they said. “The canyon is a boundary set by forces greater than us.”

Then the “Awakened Ones” stood before them sharing the Wisdom they had now believed saying...

“Natural laws are not a curse, 

punishment, or prison”

                        Othey Explained...

“They simply are just 

Current Presentations

of what previous beliefs 

Already Created.


Your NOW beliefs are what 

DECIDES what WILL BE.

They are Superior… 

to Natural Law”.

 

The lawmakers scoffed, but hunger gnawed at their world and the people wanted to know more about what was on the other side. Quietly, the “Awakened Ones” gathered those who would listen and embrace “Imagination with Passion”. They then Took-to-Heart what their Spirit Selves were suggesting could be possible and believed it to be true for them. Then they worked with PASSINATION, constructing timber and wood into a bridge defying the Wholly Edict.  

The bridge rose like a

RAINBOW 

across the abyss.

 


On the day it was finished, the council declared it an abomination. But when the first caravan crossed and returned with milk, honey, grain and much more, the people’s cheers drowned out the protests.  

The Wholly Edict was banished 

from being the limited ruling law.

Years later, the “Awakened Ones” and OTHERS, stood on the bridge at dawn, watching the sun spill over the canyon. They realized that the original presentations by the laws of nature had not really changed… the canyon was still deep, the winds still fierce. What had changed were their individual and collective beliefs in what they could do, accomplish, model, and share with others…

 

and in that moment, they realized:

Natural law beliefs 

have Presented 

Their World

However…

NOW Beliefs 

Reshape It.

 

The 

RAINBOW 

Bridge of 

Passination

 

Beckons You... What’s Next...

 When I undertook this opportunity, I decided to use AI for help.

I used Google Copilot and asked:

 

Create a short story that demonstrates how

beliefs are superior to natural law.

 

AI Copilot gave me the above basic story and I changed the title,

embellished it, changed most names, added pictures, 

changed the theme to a more Spiritual context, and

everything after “and in that moment, they realized”.

 

 Then a few days later I asked the same question again and got the same title and basic story only with different names and concepts than the first one. 

 

This is the exact story, without editing, I received the second time I asked:

The Bridge of Ashes

The town of Brackenford was built on the edge of a canyon so deep that the river below was only a silver thread in the distance. For centuries, the townsfolk obeyed the Law of the Canyon, an ancient decree carved into stone: No bridge shall span the chasm, for the earth must remain unbound. The elders claimed it was the natural order—unchangeable, eternal, as if the canyon itself had whispered the rule into the first settlers’ ears.

Mara had grown up with that law etched into her bones. She had seen travelers perish trying to cross the treacherous cliff paths, their bodies claimed by the abyss. Yet when her younger brother fell ill and the only healer lived on the far side, the law felt less like wisdom and more like a chain.

She stood at the canyon’s edge, the wind clawing at her hair, the stone tablet of the law looming behind her. The earth must remain unbound. But what of the people? What of her brother’s life? She thought of the healer’s hut, so close in sight yet unreachable by the sanctioned ways.

That night, she gathered planks, rope, and the help of a few quiet friends who shared her conviction. They worked in silence, the moon their only witness, until a narrow bridge stretched across the void. It swayed in the wind, fragile but real—a defiance made tangible.

When the elders discovered it, they raged. They spoke of balance, of the will of the earth, of the immutable law. But Mara stood before them, her brother’s fever broken, his life saved, and said, “The earth does not speak. We do. And we choose what matters.”

The bridge remained. Over time, others crossed it—merchants, lovers, families—until the law carved in stone became nothing more than a relic of fear. The canyon was still there, unchanged, but the people were different. They had learned that belief—rooted in compassion and courage—could bend even the oldest, most unyielding rules.

And in Brackenford, it was no longer the canyon that defined them, but the bridge they chose to build.

Consider the Rose…

Symbolism of the Rose

Consider the rose as symbolization of a world  "beyond the physical".  The wild rose has five petals, closely joined together. It also has five sepals the green leafy “petals” that protect the developing flower until it blossoms.  As a completed and perfect flower the rose contains both male and female reproductive organs inside the flower alongside its colorful petals.

From the time the human first began to formulate symbols as representations of nobler thoughts and ideals, the rose has captured the imagination. Its beautiful flowers has for generations been an emblem of grace, simplicity, beauty and happiness.  The bold red color of the red rose evokes intense emotions, sensuality, and a strong physical attraction.  The white rose, however, carries a different connotation.

O Sapientia [Oh Wisdom!]

The following is a poem attributed to Malcom Guite.

I cannot think unless I have been thought,
Nor can I speak unless I have been spoken,
I cannot teach except as I am taught,
Or break the bread except as I am broken.

O mind behind the mind through which I seek,
O word beneath the words with which I speak,
O founding, unfound Wisdom, finding Me,
O sounding song whose depth is sounding me,
O memory of time, reminding me,
My ground of being, always grounding me.
My maker’s bounding line, defining me,

Come hidden Wisdom
Come with All you bring,
Come to me now, disguised as everything.

How to Maintain Balance in a Chaotic World

The question considered here is "how to maintain balance in a chaotic world?"  

First to consider is "what is chaos?"  My research indicates that it is the fundamental, irreducible unpredictability, sensitivity, and tendency toward disorder that permeates the universe.  It is not merely randomness or destruction, cosmic chaos is the creative instability, sensitivity and the drive to convert energy into work that makes the universe diversify and generate such complexity such as life.  

I paraphrase  this as chaos is the drive to expend energy "doing something – anything – as long as it is doing."  Yet without a well thought out objective and orderly plan, such action tends towards chaotic results.  

Haven’t Got Time for the Pain

 


Here are excerpts of lyrics from Carly Simon’s Haven’t Got Time for the Pain.  When you discover for yourself the light of love in this world then you too might not have time for the “suffering” that you feel that you need to “feel alive.”  

Seek to discover the joy of living.  

The Mighty and the Motherly

Happy Mother’s Day!

The mother archetype aims to protect and care for the object of their affection, whether that be another person, a group of people, a place, an inanimate object, or an idea. As a mother is, at their most basic, a giver of life. They want to protect that life with unconditional love and to see it grow.

A mother's personality traits play a role in the well-being of the nurtured. A mother is the one providing emotional and physical support so dependents feel secure and loved. Nurturing motherly qualities include offering comfort and soothing when dependents are upset, celebrating their achievements, and being present as an active part of their lives.

Maybe I Missed the Point

 


Maybe I Missed the Point

I know somebody whose life is tough.
I help a little but it isn't enough'
Cause I go spend money on stupid stuff
When I know he's strugglin' to stay above.

And I have so many chances to be
The hero I believe's inside of me,
But I get busy and I get distracted
And I do nothing when I could've acted.

(chorus)

Punctilios of Citizenship

In this article
 we learned that in order for an organization or a civilization to operate 
effectively there has to be agreed upon standards.  Without agreed upon standards there is no "expected norm."  This current article introduces the concept of punctilios

A punctilio is:  A little point of conduct highlighting etiquette, or procedure.  

Punctilios of citizenship refers to the precise detailed duties, ethical standards, and mind set required of an individual who views themselves as a citizen (a word indicating “inhabitant of a city” – a cite ian. 

There are often a hierarchy of laws within a country.  For example in the USA alone our agreed upon standards include: 

1) the US Constitution, 2) the US statutory laws, 3) US administrative rules, 4) state constitutions, 5) state statutory laws, 6) state administrative rules, 7) local constituting authorities, 8) local law ordinances, 9) local administrative rules, and 10) generic principles of parliamentary procedure.

As you can see, knowing, understanding and adhering to what amounts to tens of thousands of standards at the federal statutory level, hundreds of thousands in federal administrative regulations, millions when adding all fifty states’ statutes and regulations, and an additional hundreds of thousands to millions across the local levels.  The grand total across the entire hierarchy of legal standards could easily run into the millions of individual provisions, restrictions, or obligations.  At each level rules are to be adhered to as written, but surely there must be a better way to effectively adhere to the standards of civilization? 

Here is where Punctilios of Citizenship comes into play.  Rather than millions of standards to be aware of, a small number of principles may be learned that, if adhered to, will ensure adherence to a multitude of standards. This starts with natural law.

Baseball, Anchors, and Standards…

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”  This old popular “proverb” indicates that with a lack of moral or intellectual structure, such as clear standards of rightness, you can become vulnerable to every passing fad, lie, or con artist. It seems like this is becoming an ever increasing number of people these days.  Without such structure you can be easily swayed, i.e. pushed about, compromising your integrity within your community contributing to making poor decisions or get taken advantage of.

Another analogy is that of a boat or ship.  You don’t just “park” a ship on the ocean, the wind and the waves will cause it to drift, and drift it will without an anchor.  The anchor and chain keep the ship in the desired vicinity regardless of all but the most extreme wind or wave action.  

The bottom line is that having principles that you 1) firmly believe, 2) are embraced as a normal part of your life, 3) with which you are united and use to anchor your life, and 4) can consciously choose to adhere to, gives you stability and resistance to manipulation.  

An Understanding of (Who - Why - What) We Are

As I allow curiosity to guide me, I seem to be led to just what I need to assist me in understanding and discovering more of my inner self and Who/Why/What I Am.  This curiosity seems to create synchronistic events that provide the illumination and insights to satisfy it.  These events may be as simple as finding the answer in a book or through personal contact with another.  They can also be quite out of the ordinary such as; receiving a personal message through an entertainer within a stage performance.

As I move deeper into my discoveries, the connection to the seen and unseen worlds grows stronger.  One might view these worlds as the cosmos and earth, light and dark, inner and outer, or perhaps extraterrestrial and human.  The thread that seems to bond all of these together… is Unconditional Love.  I feel my heart opening more each day as I choose to see and experience the Love that surrounds me.  I feel Love as Life force energy, and know Love as a Natural state of Being.  I believe we are all remembering this natural state of Love in our own space and time.  

What follows is my personal understanding of our human experience and journey.

Remember…

Two pillars stood across a chasm flowing with a river dark and without reflection. One pillar was crowned in light on its side of the bridge; on the other side one was lost in darkness.

Arriving alone at the bridge between the two sides a soul appeared where it found a token graven with Memento Mori upon one side and on the other Memento Vivere

Floating is Easier than Swimming

Reality is like a movie with INFINITE versions already filmed. Our inner energetic states and desires determine which of these movies we will "experience". 

Life is like a water park. When you are "here for the ride" you can enjoy the thrills and spills in safety. When you expend effort to try to "swim up the water slide" you struggle, run into other obstacles and overall just don't enjoy the experience.
