On the 26th, this instance, I made quite a few pencil notes, which I now want to record under writings below. In addition I also made a short entry in my little black book, which will follow the above.

On last Sunday evening (the 27th) I experienced three unusual, but not unknown to me, types of awareness. One was the very faint presence of my recently departed youth friend Paul Dijkstra, Zeist, who was the source of ‘volharden’ which is Dutch for ‘persist’. This was followed directly by the sense presence of my study friend Jaap Elze - still in this world I think - from whom I intuited ‘The search is ending, this is the end of the search; proclaim.’ Last was my awareness of an energetic and young woman - my mother renewed as it were - with the words ‘don’t be distracted by affections.’ That concluded the three sensed presences and their intuited messages.

These three awareness experiences I interpret as relating to my foregoing contemplation and search that morning, regarding all the ideas that I have now discovered throughout my life. These have now culminated for me in this sensed need for tolerance in our globalised world, as I have mentioned earlier. And my query of that morning was what to do with this discovery. I was in a quandary about that and then later the three ‘responses’ emerged into my awareness.

Working some more on this content yesterday, I made a couple short notes on page 67 of my black book as mentioned. They consist of three points: re-structure, perspective and way forward, as formal structure with the content of: shared heritage, wholeness in diversity and gratitude. This I will elaborate below.

Today and after my walk I am slowly coming to the insight that I am entering the proclaiming cum teaching stage, now that the searching has come to an end and while on my walk and having tea at ‘Savour’ I tried to discover how to begin with this. I recalled how I started teaching Statics or even Photogrammetry so long ago in 1968 at Ryerson Polytech.

Heidelberg Catechism:
What is your only comfort in both life and death?

But, what also came up was the first question in the Heidelberg Catechism, namely; ‘What is your only comfort in both life and death?”. That constitutes a very existential and engaging start, no doubt. But, also the need for a plan to follow emerged, to define a point of beginning and have an overview to prevent the wandering about in the woods.

Finally, upon coming home I thought of Herman’s talk this coming Sunday. He will speak on his first three presentation when he started here in Calgary forty five (45) years ago and I may find a further clue in that presentation!

Start of Notes:
Add to the five points of the ‘A new dispensation of Tolerance‘:
New point 1, before old 1: The common origin and becoming conscious of humans.
New point 7, after the old 5: Human conscious awareness is a work in progress; that is some [people] have a sixth sense, but not all. This may still come; witness P.P. Quimby [1803-1866, Maine, US] , his extraordinary abilities in this regard.

[Other remarks]

The perspective is [that] in our global world we need to start acting - making decisions - facilitating and aimed at working out and fostering this inevitable coming together of our yet separate interests.

Not aim for dominance of one over the other, but for growing together to an aim beyond and greater; which is a process that is already going on as we are pushed to that right now, while we could work with it in bringing it about.

The more we formulate explicitly the greater its effect and impact towards realisation. = creating a perspective [supplemented by a figure of drawn perspective lines] realising the reality of our situation and not confuse is with the ideology of it, as a guide to action.
 
[Over to the reverse side of the page and continuing:]

ADD:
- Continuous awareness.
- Knowing you emotions and integrate thru:
‘Eigen weg’ [own way], emotional independence, integration (peeling the onion) to remove the barrier keeping un-integrated emotions [and so] preventing knowledge of previous lifetimes.
All this together + 6th sense, is simply growth and development of human conscious awareness as has been taking place up to today.

ADD:
Life is here, now on this earth for us humans and we are making the best of it, discovering ethics.

Notes of page 67 of the small black book:

From my morning meditation:

My commitment:

I honour the variety of the human tradition, (past ~ thought), Work towards a wholeness in diversity (future ~ word) With an attitude of gracious gratitude (present ~ act)

I honour the variety of the human tradition, (past ~ thought), Work towards a wholeness in diversity (future ~ word) With an attitude of gracious gratitude (present ~ act)
~ ~ ~

This was the response of [to] an earlier - at arising - search for an expression that would frame my belief commitment concisely with force.
