Literally Connected to John Lennon – Volume 4

Lynn Cousino Saldanha, February 4, 2001

Note from Lynn: This volume is very interesting. Very quickly and easily John’s thoughts came to me. Then…as you will see in blue print and with quotes below, he came forth solely. He is very passionate and committed to the LennonTask. I didn’t change a thought or a word that he gave forth. Why should I? The soul needs to speak, and who am I to not allow him to do so. Lennon not allowed to speak? Whoa! I don’t want to live with that in my karma!

"People say I’m crazy doin’ what I’m doin’.

Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin."

I’m just sittin’ here watching the wheels go round and round. Really love to watch them roll. No longer riding on the merry-go-round. I just had to let it go."

Watching the Wheels, Lennon

An Australian Lennon Connect wrote me some very insightful words this week. John said clearly to her that computers would be the death of us all. Why? In this day and age? At this stage of our higher cyber knowledge? We have the world online at our pinky tips and the LennonTask is coming to those who may never see and know. Other pathways to the same, never known. What? Our death. Well, indeed…yes! For we lose each other in our little screens to the world. We lose the look of the eyes which windows the soul. We lose the tones and the intones, and we miss out on the passion and the pain. We don’t have a clue how we are being read, or unread. In my devotion to the soul of John Lennon and my own higher purpos, I wrongly figured that one has to stand up and speak to be heard. I made a grave error just a couple of days ago on that note, and in that regard. Tests of character, purity of heart and mind, love oversees all and knows all. In that light I bring this very personal connection out for the world to know. Not a penny gained. Not even a dime desired. In life, John says he was fantastic to know! Pun intended for he now views life as an open ended affair of lessons and a time to hone the skills. In brief, to experience that which souls cannot in higher dimensions. This gets better and better…read on to see!

I respectfully dub John’s friends when alive as, The Big Boys. Famous names. Skills of genius and creative masterpiece in bringing an entire generation to peace and love. They were the real heros of our time. Unprecedented change they affected. They have our love and our hearts…each and every one of John’s pals. What an inspiring group! Dylan, Ono, Jagger, McCartney, Harrison, Starr and Peel just simply to name a few. John’s friends each one, yet who I am to come into their lives to tell them…LENNON LIVES! They loved him. They knew him. John was not all airy fairy and nice! No! He was human to the core. He had his issues and his problems. His pain and his come to his knees whacks and pings. The John Lennon who has come forth to me, to bring this forth to…well, the world….is still not the most patient creature. He is not all perfect and loving. He has healed a lot. He is still healing. He has come to some as their own lifeline, a guardian angel in a way. Why? Like really, come on and try to not smile to think of the cynical man Lennon as a guardian type guide. Well, believe it. For John Lennon was one of the Big Boys of the 1960’s but has to learn and heal and find himself stepping inside of love on the other side. He has to stay inside love to cleanse his soul of the hurts of the snides, the broken hearts, the sting of the guilt of not being close enough to Julian, of his personal atrocities committed against those he knew and loved. In other words, John Lennon himself as a soul KNOWS that he was no better, no more perfect, no more peaceful in his personal life than any one of us on any given day in any given situation. He is finding the other side of the karmic wheel and is getting back to the place within his own soul where love belongs. He helps get people in pain and suffering through. He reaches out to be heard, and like in Helene Iulo’s photographs, he shows on print. Why is he doing this? To help us SEE our mistakes while still in life. While still with those who we hurt and those who we have wronged. To open up his life lived to see he was not perfect, but he was also guided to bring forth the other side in song and music. To create the words and the tones which have opened each of us up. To expose himself to the critique and the love. The full spectrum was Lennon as a man. See him, he urges within me, as a soul…not as a man. If you cannot IMAGINE the soul and his own struggles to learn the higher lessons, then see him as a man who tried. Who failed at times. Who was rude and hurtful at times. Who only found peace after experiencing abandonment and pain. Learn from who he has become, and not from the karmas that instantly got him there.

A friend also exuberant of the task at hand gave me the personal email address of a Lennon contemporary, a gentleman who is a friend of hers. Convinced that he would feel excitement at the prospect of hearing of the Lennon thing that I have going on. (Now, mind you, I have John Lennon in and around me. I have this commitment and absolute conviction of the truth and light that I…my own personal all too human self have to offer. From the depths of my being, to the very breath I breathe in every moment…I am committed to bringing John Lennon the part of him that is mine to give to the world….out. To allow him to be heard and felt. To come together to get this thing we call peace to be a thing not of the past felt and known as Flower Power, to be a viable living breathing utilized concept that is the true power of the people.) So I jot right off to this dude. Not knowing him for his work, just getting major strong hits and pushes from Lennon to contact his old pal. (Now mind you and let me take another moment, if any one had John Lennon pushing from within to get something done…hey, would you not cross the boundaries of maybe get-to-know you etiquette? Of course, you say! You would have done it a long time ago. It has its moments, believe me.) I felt the love and honor from John for his friend. I felt John’s trying to reach out, and what came out of the emailed encounter…well, it was not pretty at all. For Universal Law states that one can only bring forth knowledge if another is accepting of it….or even ready for it. That’s why it’s your choice to read this. Some inner part of you has accepted in some way…that I am here to allow you Lennon and the message he has for the world. My loving email went unanswered. Does this guy have "people" who read his emails? Probably, hey…he hung out with John Lennon! He has "people", I just knew for sure. So….off the next day to toddle off another overly loving from Lennon’s heart to my fingertips message to his buddy. Slam! Wham and bam! I received rejection and embarrassment! Felt like an idiot. I know the rules. I know it’s wrong to infringe upon someone and to have a personal email address well…it’s personal! Should have had enough sense to have my friend introduce us. Instead I have maybe made a fool of myself, and that is the part of it that really means very little in this whole thing. To have this friend of John’s offended absolutely crushed me. All of this happened for good reason. I did not learn from his mistakes, and did not tread softly. Shame on me! Old enough to know better, too!

I had a very insightful dream that very night! Still having felt that smack of reality, this is what I saw in that dream. Worth passing along. Worth your time taken to read. Where we go and what we learn while asleep are like educational keys to getting us through the night and to the light….instantly. The friend was lounged out in a kicked back way on a chair. John was incessantly talking and pleading with his buddy. Seated on like a coffee table, for there were lots of people in this place where I was off to John’s left side. Like a bar, but not! Same type of gathering spot with loads of busy people interacting with each other. No one really paid attention to John or the friend and their conversation. John sat bent forward and pleading. Explaining to his friend what I was here doing. Assuring him that I was for real, and that yes, John was behind me. The guy pal sat there cold and aloof. Not really buying it at all. I woke up and immediately heard John say the following words. The real lesson here. The absolute silver lining behind the cloud of my own embarrassment for having tripped instead of tread.

The LennonTask:

UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

UNDERSTANDING THOUGH DIVERSITY.

TOGETHER WE ALL CAN BRING THE WORLD TO PEACE.

Right on! Good for all and to all a good night! Got it! Yeah man!

So back to the very real theory, the very real method behind the Lennon madness….if we were all alike there would be nothing to celebrate. No diversity. No differences. No pathways unwalked or roads less traveled. All would be clogged and busy. There’s no one way for us all. No one way to be or think or act. To each his own, my way is only right for me! Yours for you, he for him and those for them. Ahhhhhhh! I got it! Feel the differences, yet not the pain. Accept the differences, and allow the shift to take place inside. It was that easy to do, once I realized nothing happens by chance. All is intended now to make a difference. No more time to smell the Starbuck’s (plug!) and just chill out and make the same mistakes over and over again. Instant karma got me! I learned and thank the bearer of the lesson for playing his role and part in letting me grow a bit more balanced in this whole LennonTask scheme. The light bulb just clicked on above me noggin!

"People asking questions, lost in confusion.

Well I tell them there’s no problem only solutions"

Watching the Wheels, Lennon

John Lennon, the man and his contemporaries in the 1960’s brought forth massive change in the world. Simply huge! They have played their role and in most cases, still do. We are here to pick up their ball to take their pass and run it into home. It’s their game, the Big Boys. We are all here to just simply follow their lead which is in the now. Job well done guys and ladies who broke the ground for Peace and Love!

And…me. I learned a valuable lesson. A number of them actually. Have utter and complete faith in those who have come forward through this LennonTask. Don’t panic thinking they are temporary and will go away in the physical way of thinking, for we each cross each other’s paths to learn and to gain that which we need to know to help others along on theirs. And so on. And so on. And so onwards we all go to spread the word of peace on earth and good will towards all. Unite through our diversities, and we will understand each other better. We can all bring the world to peace. It’s easy if we try to just imagine. Cause and effect has its merits. Universal backslaps can sting, or they can uplift. It’s our choice of which we make our own reality.

Know John Lennon as a soul; a spirit…not as a man!

As I came to jot that last line, the rest well you will see is very much Lennon and he spoke his mind freely. And, I allowed him to do so. Why not? As well, in my head as I wrote these words, Lennon’s lyric from, Strawberry Fields Forever played nonstop in my head:

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out. It doesn’t matter much to me."

"I’m down. Really down. This whole LennonTask has higher calling. Not to get people to subscribe to a way of thinking as in a religion with a group or following, but all we are saying is give peace a chance. To love one another. To respect one another. To allow and to see the higher good that will help bind us all together. To show love…agape. Agape is the highest form of unconditional love. That is what I preach, and have written always. That is the man I became, and the soul I now am. That is why and the reason for the season. The season of bringing together love to each other as the way up, not out. You cannot get out of anything. You cannot buy a ticket to ride, it’s within. It has to come from within. Goodwill toward each other. Not hype. Just reality. That is what I am here still on this plane to bring forth. Through past connections, through coming to Lynn and others in thoughts and images. I am reaching out to the masses coming to you from those people unknown. Sharing your plight. I always did! I always lifted up the cause of the common man. Christ was a common man. He came to know it wasn’t easy. They crucified him.

Through every diversity, every religion, every instance of thought of country, town, city or school…celebrate your diversity. Celebrate who you are in relation to one another. Love those differences and learn from them. Learn not to hate. Don’t buy into violence. Or even violence of old and outworn stereotypes. That is not where it is at, man! That is the wrong road chosen. The lower pathway. Break away from those digs and hurts and pseudonyms.

As a man I lived my life in three aspects. Three levels of energy all existing simultaneously. I was a triple aspect figure. That means nothing to most, but everything to some. It will reach out and grasp you if it is meant to. If not, that’s okay, too! It doesn’t mean that I was better, or higher or even had anything to really say that infringed upon you and who you are. It just is an observant reality. It is real.

Now I come back through some and not all…and they are condemned. They are set aside and questioned. Having to prove their every move. They cry out still, why? I don’t know! Why do human beings have to hate that which they do not understand? Why do human beings have to question that which is different and label it as wrong? Why do human beings have to DO anything against another. Why you ask? Why hide your love away? I DON’T KNOW!!! If human beings would not have accepted the lower road ages ago we would not have ended up in this mess. Free will. God given and of the high road. But we had to take what was good and then run it into the ground. We had to kill it. We had to squelch it.

The very shame here is that it still is happening! The LennonTask is a test for humanity to GET IT! Wake up from only sleeping. See not only one road, one religion, one WAY WHICH HAPPENS TO ALWAYS BE YOUR WAY ALONE to get to the light. Behind every religion is light. Behind every light is love. Love is all you need. All high roads lead to enlightenment. LIGHTEN up your mind. Free your mind and the rest will follow. The rest of who you are. The rest of humanity. Your mind is your ego. Your ego is your fear. Your ego stifles and kills and condemns that which can set your soul free. Why are you so scared?

This stuff comes from a place only a moment beyond. Do you think I hang around to just be buddies with old pals. No. A resounding, no! I come you in dreams. You hear my words in song and on TV. I am not a way to follow. That is the point that you are missing here. This LennonTask is not a cult or a thing or a propagation of the very same ideals which have made you kill in the past. No. The LennonTask is simply a gathering for diversity. Yes….A GATHERING FOR DIVERSITY. Of different ways to think, believe, act and be. A way of being. You can follow the Christ, you can follow Buddha, Mohammed, you can simply follow the light within your own soul. That is your CHOICE! What lies behind it all is the light. Behind the light is LOVE. Just simply love the diversity. Love the ways that each reaches out to make their imprint on the whole. Give that a chance! Give respect and honor to those who try to make a difference. Through me, or through someone or something else. As long as love is behind it…there is no wrong. There is not even diversity. That is Divine Dichtomy. Two different ways of saying the same thing. Follow that which is diverse, but at the same time….diversity is an individual concept in and of itself.

I am throwing out heavy stuff here. This whole LennonTask was never meant to not stimulate you or make you think. Free your mind by listening to your soul. Let it lead you and guide you. It knows what is right for you, and what is not. But if you do not experience anything different, or hear it, or read it….if you as a person were never challenged to open up your eyes and your mind, where would you be? You would BE stagnant! On a pathway to no place or where, for you would already have gotten there. That is NOWHERE MAN.

Yeah, I still go off on tirades! I always did. I was used to getting attention by even brushing my teeth. Now it’s not so easy. I am talking and no one is listening! They are hearing but not paying any attention. I left the Earth, and had years…yes, years living in the stifle and the pain of murder and death. I lived in your tears, a red cloud of pain. I missed my life. I missed my family. I was bitter. I lived life bitter. I showed it in my songs. I lived my life via those words. The peace and love came much later. I had to work out things just like you do. I still am. Part of my growth is coming from helping the Earth now. To evolve. To get onto higher ways of living and life. To drink of the Christfire within. To drink it and to be it.

My way was never right for anyone but me. God, knows that! How else would you have me reach out to you now? Just to pop into the TV or make a video. Would that sell you? Would you listen then? The test is here within Lynn, and within every person I ever touched. Every person who now hears me, sees me or feels me. How else to make you see me, but through them? They are real. They are human and of flesh and blood. Why would you NOT LISTEN to them? Less better, you deny me in them. Christ was denied. He was crucified. His chosen followers were ridiculed and even killed. Christ is a fire from within the soul, yet he came to Earth to live and die to help. Every Master, myself included, came to Earth with the same message of peace and love and light. You say you believe, but you still kill the Messengers. I told you in Volume 1 that to know me again, you would have to know Lynn first. For I am within her and within each of those who reach out to hear my words in every lyric ever written and every song I had sung. For now I am the music, and I live the lyrics! Yes, the soul of who I was before still lives! I have grown to know better and higher and got some truth to really give. Every soul I have touched again, not even bringing forth the deeper reason of soul and soul togetherness, brings forth a message. A message to gain them little, but brought forth to bring you much. See it if you try!

This LennonTask is:

UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

UNDERSTANDING THOUGH DIVERSITY.

TOGETHER WE ALL CAN BRING THE WORLD TO PEACE"

IMAGINE!
