Joybringer sent me an communique asking to answer some questions so that we all can know one another better. As part of the connection I am to post my own questions here for her. I wanted to post what I would want to know, so here goes.
Ten questions.
1. What do you, at your essence, consider yourself to be?
2. Where do you see humankind going, doing, being the next 500 years.
3. Can you levitate? and if not do you believe it is possible.
4. Was there a beginning for all humankind and if so where and what was it?
5. Do you believe the future is contained within each of us, and that our sense of peace and freedom depends on whether we accept or resist the unfolding of this containment, or do each of us have a say in how the future unfolds in the choices we make?
(Question 5 thoughfully adding by LoveJoy. see comments)
6. What is the significance of race in evolution, or spirituality? Are we all really alike or different?
7. Do you feel that you have really loved or been in love?
8. Describe your vision of utopia.
9. Have you found any one place on the earth that lives holistically and spiritually?
10. Does the world need to be changed or is all just as it should be? If change is needed, what is your daily contribution?
That's a few. All are invited to partake. Thank you Joy for inspiring me to share.

getting to know you
August 2008 
iam joy, iam bennu…
It was joyous replying to your questions. Thank you for the opportunity and more.
1. What do you, at your essence, consider yourself to be? Love & Joy & Creativity.
2. Where do you see humankind going, doing, being the next 500 years.
Read the utopia description below – we’ll be there may be sooner than we expect. I am believer in goodness, beauty and love. And despite the probabilities and possibility for self-destruction I think we’ll evolve and enter other eras where our human experience will be more in tune and reflective of our spiritual nature and lightness of being.
3. Can you levitate? and if not do you believe it is possible.
Yes, yes, yes. Not only levitate, but also fly freely with no wings.
4. Was there a beginning for all humankind and if so where and what was it?
It was a wonderful desire and decision to express the absolute love, witness the interplay of duality, turn the formless into form, the timeless into temporal, the endless into finite and to see the dance of souls with life into a beautiful synchrodestiny and the evolution of the spirits.
6. What is the significance of race in evolution, or spirituality? Are we all really alike or different?
To embrace our diveristy in unity and celebrate our variety and uniqueness by overcoming our prejudices, judgements and illusions.
7. Do you feel that you have really loved or been in love?
Not to the extent I imagine or have the potential to. Growing in love constantly.
8. Describe your vision of utopia.
It is too good and one day it may become true. It is a blissful state of utter beauty in and out where all living beings live in marvelous harmony, synchrony and love. We are all able to communicate thelepatically and use music and animal sounds as our main ‘language’, are able to move and travel through space, dimensions and times. We embody and live in pure joy, peace and love. We engage in creation of amazing art in forms and ways inconceivable now by interacting not only with all the senses but involving our ESP and intuition, the full spector of light, sound and space/time dimensions, and sharing that with all beings from many other planets and stars in the universe for the evolution and enjoyment of all… On a more grounded and achievable way, it might be close to the futuristic vision of the Venus project and the Atlantis one if you are familiar with them.
9. Have you found any one place on the earth that lives holistically and spiritually?
New small conscious spiritual communities are springing at many places. But I like your vision about the island of water in the skies. I would love to move there! Will you let me know when I can make it happen?
10. Does the world need to be changed or is all just as it should be? If change is needed, what is your daily contribution?
The world is perfect as it is and constantly changing which sounds like a paradox but it is the truth and it is wonderful. Just like us. We keep changing and we are always the same. And we are what we are. Beautiful, joyful and loving. We are one.
My main contribution is to be the change that I want to see. My main way is by being love in action as much as I can and bring joy where I can and where it is needed. Doing small joyful things and deliberate and random acts of kindness is just one example. I also aspire to bring more and bigger changes by sharing, inspiring and helping others to heal, be transformed and fulfill their dreams and heart’s desires.
Iam, thank you for this chance to share. And thank you, Joy Bringer, for the inspiration that you are. Here are my responses:
What do I, in my essence, consider myself to be? A Witness to the Kosmos.
Where do I see humanity 500 years from now? In a time and place where we are no longer conscious of time and place.
Can I levitate? In my mind's eye, yes. Do I believe it's possible? Virtually, yes.
Did humanity have a beginning? No, I don't believe so. I believe that we've been recycling our souls for countless eons.
What is the significance of race in evolution, or spirituality? Are we really alike or are we different? Race is highly significant to our evolution and spirituality because each race has vital contributions to make to both. In many ways, we're alike, but in many ways, we are also different.
Do I feel that I have really loved or been in love? Yes, I have really loved, and yes, I have been deeply in love to the very limits of my being.
Describe your vision of utopia. Look around you, my friend. This is it. This is the real deal.
Have I found any one place on earth that lives holistically and spiritually? No, not yet, but I believe such places exist.
Does the world need to be changed or is all as it should be? Joy Bringer took the words right out of my mouth … As for contributions, I am as I am, following my intuition as best I can, from one day to the next …
Thank you Joy and Lovejoy for your responses. they are just great. Joy wanted to hear my own answers to the questions and so do I, acutally to here goes. In the spirit of sharing.
PS. I realize I forgot question 5
1. What do you, at your essence, consider yourself to be?
I am. Pure existence, information, and possibility, manifested to experience and understand the possibilities of being as all of us.
2. Where do you see humankind going, doing, being the next 500 years.
I will await and see. I believe that our evolution which has been diverged to our tools will be reunited with us in the coming singularity. At this time period the idea of machines outside of ourselves will cease to exist and through this merging of AI and man the whole of humanity will come to understand the oneness the spiritual traditions have know all along, and we will be able to move beyond our understanding of being just cells, and muscles and get about the business of being souls. We will with a combined purpose begin to truly manifest our collective reality and create wondrous things.
3. Can you levitate? and if not do you believe it is possible.
I just don't know how yet, but all things are possible to a manifested reality. Once we change the “agreement of what is reality” we will be able to experience a lot more.
4. Was there a beginning for all humankind and if so where and what was it?
I think about this one all the time and especially as it relates to quantum physics and spiritual teaching that infer that we create our own reality. That any beginning is just made up as we look back at it. We cannot know such a thing. It is like, since we create the reality that we see, would it not be possible that the further we are able to look out into space the more space there will be.
I is possible that we create it all on the fly collectively. The more we want to see the more that will be created. History may be the same way. Created as we look for it.
6. What is the significance of race in evolution, or spirituality? Are we all really alike or different?
Being manifested in a colorful biological shell, this has been a query of mine I think that race and culture does have a evolutionary factor in our accessing the knowledge of oneness and having the propensity to be open to the knowledge of oneness. What we in western civilization are discovering has been known and practiced forever in other cultures, but it all washes out in the water that is oneness. We are all one being having all the different experiences that we can, and we will come back to oneness when we are done. It is inevitable.
7. Do you feel that you have really loved or been in love?
I have been in love deeply, but that is my leaning. I was always a lover, having an open heart to know and feel someone else intimately. By intimately, I mean fully. All of them. Fears, hopes, dreams.. The things that make them tick, It is second nature for me. I am empathic. I feel and even become who I am connected with.
My journey brought me to know the love of all. That was a lesson as it is very different from the love that we know a “modern” humans. There becomes no difference between a man and a tree, or a rock. Love is all things and the knowledge of the uniusweu. That is when I began to really love.
8. Describe your vision of utopia.
I will have to agree with Joy that we are in it. I feel that all is as it should be. That we are living in the diversity of experience and that we are moving, evolving toward a creating understanding of the infinite and what it means to be a inseparable part of it all. Once we do it will change how the whole planet relates to itself. Utopia is for those who believe that the journey is the body we are in, or the mind. The state of the universe experiencing itself as us and having this wonderfully reactive reality that we have all created is just the bomb. Oneness is all the utopia needed.
9. Have you found any one place on the earth that lives holistically and spiritually?
I am sure that some exist and hope to find one someday, but I have released myself to my given journey and it is up to me right now to create that place where ever I am.
10. Does the world need to be changed or is all just as it should be? If change is needed, what is your daily contribution?
The universe is just as it should be and the world will be changed every day to reflect that. By existing with the knowledge of the infinite journey I change and educate everything that I touch and breath upon.
Great answers, Iam. I'm with you in your answer to #2. Here's a Kosmic suggestion to fill in the gap created by the absence of #5:
5. Do you believe the future is contained within each of us, and that our sense of peace and freedom depends on whether we accept or resist the unfolding of this containment, or do each of us have a say in how the future unfolds in the choices we make?
iam bennu and Christopher,
It is such a marvelous experience to share our visions, experiences and beings in such an open way. Thank you both for being who you are.
Just few quick remarks - funny, I didn't even noticed the missing 5 until your note above… :)
And to the one suggested by the Kosmos - even if it may sound paradoxical I believe we are co-creating our destiny every single moment, that is it as much predetermined as it is free for us to choose, experiment and enjoy the experience, journey and unfolding until we reach the unity, singularity and one taste toward which we are all headed and already always are until we live the realization…
Also about Q#4 - since you asked about the beginning of humankind, I focused on what I think is the beginning of our experience in human form in the physical realms. Otherwise I believe there is neither beginning nor end of our spiritual existence, journey and beings.
And about utopia - my answer was revolving around a fictional state of ideal conditions and perfection that is often considered unatainable despite the proofs of the opposite all around us… And despite my overly idealistic visions I DO realize how close to dystopia we are in our current reality as well as the potential we have to shed our illusions and make the seemingly impossible possible…
I am really excited and optimistic about the enormous potential and endless possibilites within and around us and I believe we can and we will manifest the best of them and us.
Thank you for sharing your souls like you do/are,
D a r i n a :)
Hey!! I thought your answers were fine. There are no wrong one's. It is just great to here the inner voice of another person on some of the deepest of things that we wonder about.
I loved your answers. They seem to flow right from your soul. I see utopia in your heart and deepest mind and love it as it colors all of the wonderful things that you do.
love ya,
iam
Christopher,
It is in the experience of my journey that I see the concept of time as seeing only one frame of a movie. We see a sequence of a frame and then another but all of the frames of the movie exist and if we are able to see from a dimention above then we would see the whole film laid out from beginning to end like a snake. We would see ourselves from birth to death of the current dimension of our choices.
I do believe that multiple timelines are created from our choice and influences and that being entities based and existing above time we can choose to experience a different path or even jump to another path.
So in answer to the question. I believe that peace is found in excepting yourself and what your choices have made for you. to except the whole fiim of your current self, but also realize that there are multiple possibilities to choose moving forward and looking back that can manifest within the will of your deepest self and it's creating our collective reality.
I hope that I have been able to pass to you, my concepts. We can always talk more about it. and i would love to hear your view.

Iam, it's my pleasure to finally share a response to my own question: is the future contained within each of us, and does our sense of peace and freedom depend on whether we accept or resist the unfolding of this containment? Or do each of us have a say in how the future unfolds in the choices we make?
Darina believes that we co-create our destiny every single moment - that our destiny is as pre-determined as it is free for us to choose, until we reach a condition of unity (Unity) towards which we are all headed and already always are, until that moment when we finally live the full realization of it. In other words, Unity already always is, but not yet fully expressed and realized fully in form and substance. Our destiny towards Unity is already determined (that is, we have no choice but to accept its inevitable realization), but the course of details in that destiny, of how it plays out, remains open to the play of choice, to us as individuals, and therefore, to us as a collective.
In the course of our collective evolution towards some manifestation of Unity, the devil is in the details: we get to generate them (instinctively and unconsciously) and we get to choose them (creatively and consciously). True, we couldn't always choose them; much of what we did near the beginning of our collective (human) evolution was instinctive. A lot of what we do now is still instinctive, but at this stage in our evolution, the balance is shifting in favour of those who appreciate that we get to choose the details creatively and consciously. There's still a lot of unresolved karma that is acting as a drag on making the transition from unconscious generation to conscious creation, but this, too, is part of the evolutionary process towards Unity that keeps us from getting complacent.
My individual destiny is a separate matter. My essence, in soul and spirit, makes creative, conscious choices, and my body (in its present form) is a necessary, important instrument of evolutionary enlightenment, acting as both vessel (for soul) and vehicle (for spirit). A sacred soul at peace is a sacred body at peace; a divine spirit of freedom is a divine body of freedom. When I allow the peace of love to in-form my soul (remember, I always already have access to Unity at every moment), I can also embrace the consequences of what I generated instinctively in the past, when I didn't know better, until I reach a time and place where all of my actions are consciously chosen.
I also have access to joy from my interactions with others. The more at peace I am, the more access I have to joy in those interactions. You might say that my primary purpose in life is to transmute the peace of love into the joy of bliss. As a soul at peace, my spirit can grow in freedom, as I learn to transmute the peace of love into the joy of bliss, both for myself and for those receptive to my influence. I can be grateful not to know which way to go, for without this uncertainty, I would have no surprises. A soul at peace absorbs the unpleasant surprises (perhaps that's why we have souls) and a spirit of freedom rises on the pleasant ones.
With this understanding, I allow my future to unfold from within. I find peace in dropping my resistance to what unfolds and presents. With a soul at peace, I allow the unfolding of my essence to happen on its own terms, while spreading my influence for the benefit of all, knowing full well that my influence extends far beyond those receptive to my influence. I find freedom in the experience of my freedom - in the beneficial effects of my joyous influence on those who are receptive. I find my freedom in the joy of bliss, from a place of peace, for the sake of love.
Chrisopher,
Thank you. It is connecting to see you articulate the perspective and facets of how you get to and maintain a direction of growth and evolution. It is very powerful.
I want to read it again and again. I want to read more before I write down what it reflects from within me. Right now it is identification of experience and applauding of the deep understanding of the whole self and the perspective of existing in multiple dimensional spaces (timelessness, time) seeing the finite and the infinite equally and knowing how to navigate in a sea of manifestation and the manifested.
Wonderful.
iam, I appreciate your feedback. Thank you. I look forward to hearing more from you.
