Hatred and Love, Shifting into Possibility.

Hatred and Love, Shifting into Possibility.

Core spirituality, my personal journey

We have not yet realized the power of our love and its capacity to heal the hate that is still held in our human family, our human minds and hearts and our beliefs. For what is hate really? Is it the refusal to love?

Love beckons!

The need we have to share this love for who we are and all that encompasses.

The need we have to be loved for who we are, and all that encompasses. Exists!

Love has much to do here, and through our trials and tragedies shows us how we can do better.

The morality of love is ever-present, and never-ending in its scope for expression in a world so full of hate, so full of hurt. There are many still captive to the darkened shadows of lovelessness. Yet love prevails in the face of it all!

I have experienced this hate in my life, and it is always hurtful. I have felt this in my family, my ohana. Love is my own primary response to heal that hurt. I have been tested many times.

Wherever there is any bigotry, any hate amongst us that leads to violence, that violence may be delivered in words, in emotions, or in actions.

However this may arise, our response can balance the equation of inequality and mis-perception for self.

The work of any perpetrator will have to also arise from within self. Ultimately this occurs within each of us, and so i consciously choose to do my own inner work and carry on.

These times are filled with many new opportunities to make better choices to love all that which we held outside ourselves …. up to now.

There is another reason for hate, arising from a  wound! The wounded self… 

A wounded mind, a wounded heart strikes out.

This wound in a man or woman, or child needs the love that can hold the wound and press forward to re balance what has passed in the wake of unimaginable pain. The sadness of these things is our heart crying to love.

And love we may permit ourselves, anyway. This is not just hurt alone with which we hold pain it is also our hearts yearning deeply from within to love and be loved.

Many hearts are crying on this planet… our world is opening to a long history of abuse, hurt, woundedness, and victimization.

The wound in our human family is felt because we can love, and we do not.

We hurt because we deeply need to be loved and to love. And only a real love breaks the bondage’s of confusion, pain and suffering.

Our refusal to surrender to love within ourselves is a painful one. Just as a pus must come out for a wound to heal, so too must the darkened thoughts and feelings arise so as to release what is preventing this love from being discovered.

Love is wise and powerful and will right what needs to be righted given a chance. Love is an action and not just an idea, as a verb it is moving energy. Love as an action inside each of us moves us all. Love in this way is universal and leads us to our mutuality. Our universal place of oneness through diversity.

Love is accountable and as such takes new footing in responsible action with regard to hate and the violence that results. It will take a lot of love to overcome a lot of hate in this world. For every bigoted idea, every injurious hatred still held, love seeks a surrender. Love seeks a surrender in any individual imprisoned by such notions. Love seeks a way through our world just as a stream will find any crack in the land to further its own outward flow.

The cracks in our world are those still in darkness. The darkness of the un-awakened heart. And so every tragedy holds open the moment long enough for that love to come through, even if just a tiny bit.

As “WITNESS” to hatred unfolds on a mass level through media this provides infinite new probabilities for re examinations on infinite new ways for our human perception. And to reevaluate how we decide what needs to be in our world.

Re examine everything that is about hate and violence and our need to express this. How meaningful it is that we embrace these feelings within our humanity and make new and different choices in our personal lives. The choice to love and be loved and to have this within authenticity.

Thus meaning is derived by the most base, most horrendous of any action. Without our individual re examinations we doom ourselves to repeat and repeat and repeat.

Love within each of us can provide meaningful purpose for that which seems meaningless.

Loving meaningful purpose arises now to lead us into our darkened hearts and out into our loving free new possibility. Much will change. And still there are those who hold tightly to their wounds. We can and will continue onward holding the possibility that at any moment anything can and will change, and change for the better. Though the path is full of darkness around us we hold a light within. We can have these conversations.

To learn to walk along a darkened path yet hold open and freely a light within. This is a new paradigm and one that can hold much safety and potential. For at any moment that inner light may reach a darkened place in someone, or some place around each of us. we can now learn to speak to that which holds us back and learn to open our hearts in new possibilities.

As the inner light within our humanity grows our capacity to overcome darkness around us increases. Thus we learn to illuminate our interior places. We learn to lighten our hearts, our minds and our bodies and bring newness to that which was old.

love is love is love is love is love is love

Fears as The Blocks that Dumb Us Down…Facing, Processing, Mastering

Fears As The Blocks that Dumb Us Down…Facing, Processing, Mastering.

Core spirituality, my personal journey

Why face fear with our intention?

When I look away, and stay in denial I am withholding something as a form of awareness that is mine to own and to be transformed. When I ignore those feelings that are telling me that something is not right, I remain in ignorance. When I refuse to see all before me and inside of me with clarity and honesty my spectrum of choices become very limited.

For me to make the most informed choices and decisions about anything I need to have all the facts that are pertinent and without facing fear this is just not possible. Facing fear by way of what holds me back, no matter how vague or undefined it may be, brings up details that widen and deepen my capacity to be informed.

This information is significant in that what we are afraid of or what holds us back about anything, may contain valuable knowledge for personal and planetary growth.

Much knowledge is withheld from our waking consciousness through the walls of fear.

The Walls of Fear based thinking.

I can look around the planet and watch how so many people are emotionally investing themselves in these barriers. Walls of fear that we cycle around and around not really getting through them into the core of the issues. The dominance of fear based manipulation by people on this planet is wide-spread and used to control and prevent progress. My own  unseen fear, my own refusal, or denial to see within myself resonates outward. This resonate frequency within my vibration attracts those fear based scenarios to me. This is how we get hooked in to other people’s fear based programming. By side tracking our own issues.

Progress which transcends the dynamic nature of conflicts, and those of forces of polarization that keep people in massive states of disharmony. This disharmony that side tracks more individuals and perpetrates cycles of more dysfunction all through the human species. This is the “why” we question, and the “why” situations arise that are uncomfortable and have their roots in some form of unconscious fear. This is also how we can observe that we are socialized in fear based paradigms of belief. Unspoken social agreements lived out by passively participating without internal questioning results in the “”sheeple effect. (“Sheeple” = masses of people blinding following!)

Heart openings

When we drop into our hearts we activate our natural capacity to be caring. This energizes all our other potentials to be responsible, accountable and to seek, find, and orchestrate the larger pictures in our lives. We do this by refusing to engage in the smaller picture and moving into the larger one that holds the possibility, the solution for harmony. Harmony born of conflict. New ideas, revelations, and directions open up. Those things that had been held outside our awareness in the closed heart positioning common in the “sheeple effect”. When we clear our opposing positions and polarizing conflicts through deeper more meaningful information our possibilities for solving huge problems becomes substantially improved. Without it, or rather by staying in our own little states of vague, cloudy, confusing fear we perpetrate and prolong all manner of suffering. This is not too smart. This does not express wisdom. Our problems appear to not go away. When actually we are feeding the problems with our own unconscious choices.

Horror movies, murder and so on…

The urge to look at fear is spread all through society, perpetrated in our television and movie industry, written about on blogs, and books and focused on by every major news organization on earth. It is filled with both fearful real and artificial scenarios. Though these things are not all real, they act as attention grabbers where we can remain at a distance from our real, deeper unexplored subconscious fear. When we unconsciously participate in any forms of this we become controlled by fear in ways that prevent us from going beyond it… into our most precious pure awareness of knowing who and what we truly are.

Feelings of fear

We all have fears, however what we are afraid of may not be that.

We allow ourselves to be motivated by fear and this costs each of us some price on some level of our lives. There is that time in our personal growth where the maturity of self seeks to understand feelings of fear rather than continue in the repression, and falsity, limitation, and dumbing down that this incurs. We choose to be accountable. The price I have learned that I pay when I allow real internal unprocessed fear to exist without self-reflection and discernment is staggering. Limiting, and takes away energy that could be used in more productive life pursuits.

Calling upon inner strengths, and willingness to hold the idea that I can move myself past it.

I have found countless times that in passing through the dismantling of whatever is  built into my own subconscious mind, I learn that what I thought I was afraid was not actually something for me to stay fearful about, the feelings of fear were real, the object of my fear was not and so I learned that fear is not my endgame. It never is!

Facing fear has been a part of the awakening of my consciousness… leading me to discover there are plenty of other fields of knowledge still to be learned. Continuing the game of dumbing down has become so uncomfortable that the courage and strength inside me has risen up. This is a crucial turning point for anyone as this is when inner forces gather to generate power, more personal power with which to conquer the fear based emotions. This kind of inner power, is connected to the indwelling spiritual self and as such has long-lasting and profound effects on the development and the direction of our lives.

The paradigm shift towards inner power and self-generated authentic spirituality

The discovery of our more meaningful spiritual nature is exhilarating, sometimes surprising, and always re-balancing.

The increase of the spiritual self has the capacity to shift our physiology, adjust our mindsets , heal our emotional hurts, and much more. These adjustments to our human expression are the aspects of our species evolutionary impulses and not merely our individual growth. This process occurs universally regardless of the particular station in life any human being may hold. Growth is always potentially rich, and ever-present to be expressed. The collective awakening of our beliefs, our actions, and our reactions, our history, and the directions this is all taking is now in full throttle on a mass level.

Choosing growth instead of suffering. Choosing growth thru our suffering!

We are facing down our ridiculous, immature, and small-minded fear. That we live in a polarized world means that we may learn in two basic ways here. Positive or negative. At some point as we clear away what it is we have inherited by way of our birth it becomes unnecessary to have to learn in the same negative ways. We choose our growth, and our choice to be open to learn positively lessens and shortens the negative sting of our shortsightedness.

Getting Real

I find myself feeling less than the ideal picture of myself whenever I malinger in my fears without inquiry. This less than ideal within drives me in a negative way and does not let up until I move into and through those things that scare me or that which holds me back and limit me. The negativity messages move around in my body detracting from my happy places until I act upon them to discover, process, and release the hold this puts on me.

There is real intention that rises up from the deeper places inside me driving me to pay attention to my own limiting fear based ideas, beliefs, and past experiences. The urge or deeper intention within me to face these things leads me to places where I have discovered that i felt  controlled beyond my own desire to be controlled. This deeper urge is a positive message and generates whole new possibilities that negative reactions do not.

And controlled by outside influences, whether they be societal, religious, moral, political, violent, and oppressive to name a few. The idea that an idea or belief that is not intrinsically from me, or is actually a part of me having a control factor over me or within me is very uncomfortable and I find even abhorrent. The nature of a less than spiritual congruence, undermining of deep strength, and loss of energy that arise from fears that have taken hold in the psyche is unacceptable to me. And so it is I find myself in a life long quest to discover, dismantle, disengage, and release myself over and over and over again. This requires an intentional follow through in my thoughts, deeds, actions to come to some inner peace within myself about anything that has fed a conscious or unconscious scared fearful feeling.

Physical fear held in the body and how it is depleting us.

Underneath the chattering mind and its negative  reasons for how things are the way they are those unchecked levels of fear that undermine the authenticity of self. Loss of drive, loss of energy, and the aches and pains, repetitive self-injury in the physical body can all signal unresolved feelings that I have held based on my beliefs about myself, beliefs about reality that are fear based and  held outside normal waking consciousness, rather there is a split inside us called the subconscious.

As a remedial massage therapist trained in practicing therapeutic bodywork with clients who present symptoms all the time I have learned to have a vigilant eye on how fears might be behind physical symptoms that repeat. As a transpersonal hypnotherapist I have seen how injuries that repeat, and frustrations about the body that arise from these pains, and loss of energy is a common symptom that alerts me to unconsciously held fear. The remarkable thing about this subject is the split we humans have in our consciousness…inside  our subconscious. We are learning to know more of ourselves in this current time line. Our subconscious is becoming conscious. And our vague unknowing is being replaced with real knowledge.

That our inner awareness can be running programs of fear simultaneously while we are loving, living, and engaging in all other aspects of our lives naturally is quite a paradox. This is very easy to see as an observer. This is an indication of how we split. (our disconnects )

Listening with clients I have found myself being prompted many times to open up dialogues that express fears. In this way providing outlets for the trapped energy to be released out of the body in some small way. Sometimes there comes the AHAA, and we recognize some aspects of a limiting thought or feelings that is actually based in fear and h holding a person back. These dialogues open up the withheld dynamics that are signaling inside as pain, and release to our awareness valuable new pieces of info that propel us forward. We learn to add to our self-knowledge like how a child puts together a puzzle. For this reason each step we take, each new data point adds to our overall return to wholeness. This is how sharing our stories and listening to one another will diffuse the momentum inside and cause us to hear ourselves.

The value of physical incarnation and the brilliance of how our physical bodies are designed.

I honestly see the physical body as a translator for the spiritual being within it. Translating all manner of mental, emotional, spiritual content.

When fears are anchored into the subconscious minds, they live in the body physical and exert their influences by way of pains, injuries and limitations. Patterns of self-injury, sabotage, and malingering unresolved maladies. The withheld potential that is inherent in a life situation remains unexpressed and dormant as an actual energy in the body. Without processing completely what it is we are learning on these various levels of our consciousness we experience all kinds of messages that go nowhere, circulating inside our tissues,organs and physiology. Shifting our capacity to experience our physical potentials.

I have found it fascinating to observe in the reality TV shows where people are losing weight just how this comes up for every person. At some point in their process there are emotional, attitudinal issues that arise usually from unresolved past histories. The intensive work out programs and deepening into physicality eventually reveal what is stored inside the body. Everyone has a story of some kind that they have been living, some pain that has held them back. They learn to come face to face with these issues in the body and transcend their previously held ideas. Not until they pass through the breakdown of the psychic walls inside them, and feel out all their feelings do they get to the deeper truth that is within them. This is a universal theme! Our stories are not finished because we stopped in fear sometime, somewhere, someway. Our stories do go on. And we learn how to rewrite them in new and better ways.

I cannot even count the number of times I have shared in dialogue with a client over the past 35 years of my practice when I recognized these kinds of disconnects in their faces. It is all too common that as I point out how what we think and feel within us is directly translating through us and put this into context with a particular issue a client is presenting to me with their physical body that I get blank stares, moments of disconnection, confusion, and rapid fire changing of the subject.

Our recent human histories.

We have been very out of touch with what we hold subconsciously inside ourselves and this is dramatically shifting as we learn to open and remember what was once held outside our waking awareness. Unaware of the fact that everything is connected inside us on different levels, and how it is with our minds that we separate it all. We can always choose to nurture our experience of connected-ness by choosing to drop into our hearts to find answers that are outside the intellectual mind!

Our sport, and medical models are so externally based that the connection to interior places in our feelings and thoughts contributing to how our physical bodies are functioning are typically minimized…  and minimally associated to the symptoms our bodies are expressing. Perhaps thousands of times in this lifetime I have asked a client in the intake segment of our session after they have expressed to me what is wrong, their symptoms, the places in their body where there is a problem, “what do you think is the cause of this?” I get blank stares, immediate lines like “I don’t know”, and I recognize an immediate disconnect with the person and their physical body.

Steps to take towards personal enlightenment

On a personal level when I experience these same kind of vague, unknown symptoms in my body I go within.

I quiet myself and ask my body directly what it is saying to me.

What are the feelings I am having that I have yet to identify?

I allow myself to go deeper into what the symptoms feel like and I stay within those feelings until I find answers.

I wait for words and pictures to tell me about what it is that is arising inside me that I am totally disconnected from but are expressing physically.

This is an amazing process that often leads to uncovering deeper fears in the human psyche that are running my life without my conscious knowledge. In this way my awareness serves my body, and my body expresses the deeper parts of myself with which I am about to integrate and learn all about. The resulting outcomes are a wider spectrum of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and beliefs and ideas. All of which add to my self-knowledge. And ultimately freeing me to be more independent and self-sovereign.

Our physical bodies are actually vehicles, vehicles to translate reality.

Our physical bodies are not what we were taught they are…. Translators of energy! Our brains are not the origins of our thoughts, the mental realm… pure thought is!

I know this as I have traveled outside my body many times in this life and I did not have a brain when I did so, yet I had mental thoughts. Our brains translate the thoughts we hold inside the energy body which is the real self this is within our mental field. Our feelings do not originate only in our physical body, they are coming from our emotional field.

Very interesting in my work I have often encountered feelings that have no substance whatsoever in the present day events, yet they present in the body. Memories are such that there is not any real physical thing now happening, yet all the feelings are there coming out of the emotional field of our spiritual substance and being expressed in the physical body!

Paradigm flips.

Once I realized that my body was translating material my entire paradigm shifted and I began the path of awareness that leads me to knowing myself not just as a body, but as a spiritual being having a human experience living within a physical form! Whenever we uncover a new paradigm we start all over from a new perspective. This new way of seeing things places all the components of our questions into a new order and whole new pictures start to evolve. This is how what is called the “higher mind” aspect of ourselves begins to integrate. This takes time and often will result in needed rest, naps, and or longer periods in solitude and reflection. a much more sophisticated mental awareness develops!

Our bodies carry information that is passed to us from our ancestors via genetic coding.

Our choices in the present moment about this information can switch on and off the different components of our DNA, and we can activate whole new genetic pieces of information this way.

I found it fascinating that in recent genetic studies with identical twins born with the same exact genes, checked 20 years later those exact genes were different. They no longer carried the same genetic messages as they did when they were born. This was attributed to the differing choices that each twin made and these choices switched on or off certain genetic messages.

The Soul

I have also discovered how the soul choice for a physical body creates our experiences. In that the levels our soul needs to learn choose the DNA starts and potentials in the family of origin we are born into. This assures a particular focus for the incarnation and protects the soul intentions to learn specific things, and express in certain ways. the choices we make with what we have is more important than the actual content, once we get going with each life time. Those choices determine what DNA switches on and off through out our lives! The question becomes for me “what more can I switch on inside my genetic code through my choices?”

Fear as a defining character trait…do we really want this?

Whether you know it or not your fear becomes a defining character trait. As horrible a wake up call can be I truly learned how true this is.

In my discussions with clients and friends over the years, and my own personal inner reflections, I have observed how it is we actually defend our fears when exposed, or confronted. This defense is part of an inner dynamic within us that we use to logically suspend ourselves because of our resistance to change. And that resistance to change is actually our resistance to process because of our discomfort.

Our resistance to process our fears has an element of  terror and as such holds us back from our purest selves… the core spirituality that is us on the deepest levels of our being. These postures are held in check by the smaller parts of ourselves…. our ego’s!

As humans we live in so many agreements that have been put into place when we are in our earlier egoic developments. We grow up unaware that we do not see the greater value in a more mature self honesty. A self-honesty that pierces through the illusions, logical fears, and limiting beliefs we have learned to be complacent to or comfortable within ourselves. Thus we become shaped by these fears as people. As groups, and as nations and finally as a species!

Whenever I catch myself defending my fear… I say good. It is a really good thing to notice. Because there is unconscious thinking inside those defenses. I want to get to those things. In my past when I stayed in denial, my relationships would point out the hidden things inside my defenses and I would become even more defensive, distant, and combative. This is a common occurrence with loved ones, family members and people who know us. They see what we do not about ourselves. I have learned to observe and listen to myself better. This cut down on many outer problems my own unconsciousness was causing.

Our many masks. Why the masks we wear need defining.

These fear based character developments masquerade in our lives as all kinds of things they really are not.

They become entrenched in our sense of personal self, our ego structures and lead to what I call… ego take overs. ( see previous writing on the topic of Ego Takeovers)

Ego take overs take over many of the other components of our character and dominate our personalities. Thus we have all the power issues in the world manifesting now. Clashes of power,

power take overs,

stealing of power,

power mongering,

power plays.

Loss of power…

The political, social climates of our world are virtually filled with these situations. We can learn to observe the many faces in the world society of these ego driven forces and learn to refocus on our own sovereignty by learning to do what is called “inner work” . This inner work acts as a buffer and stops the resonate field of attraction which generates more of the same. We have the choice to detoxify our selves. Much of what is arising now is very toxic. Providing a perfect setting for clearing and much-needed healing. Learning to face the masks we all wear and discover the greater self underneath!

It is interesting to me how this happens so naturally in humans. When we are invested in fear, we masquerade it as something else. This is so common in my experience that I have learned to tread lightly in the therapeutic setting with clients. (And I have found myself doing the exact same things) I find myself gob smacked whenever I encounter myself in a masquerade, as I usually did not even realize I was acting out some kind of role, instead of expressing myself authentically.

Social agreements that support fear

Simply watching what is reported as news each day reveals to me the tremendous amount of social agreements we invest into that support fear and how easily people will believe the masks so many wear.

Fear that we actually create and perpetrate by socially allowing ourselves to emotionally invest into these dramas. I watch as politics are used to sway people and hold them in fear. I watch as religion leaders use fear to sway people and hold them in fear.

I watch as scientists group together and promote their versions of reality and this sways people and holds them in fear, disconnected from the broader real reality of the cosmos.

I watch as business such as pharmacology perpetrate fear that hold people outside the greater truth of their bodies and our inner capacity to heal ourselves.

Sport

While sport has many valuable sides to it like personal development, learning about the human body, camaraderie, goal setting along with achievement on an individual level.

I question some of the elements of organized sports and look into the darker side of what we have created on a social basis.

I watch as sport enthusiasts use sports to drive their own egotistical agendas, make money, and promote the use of sport as a well-meaning, healthy human character trait. Yet I ask myself how healthy is it when someone always must lose?  ( perpetrating “either/or ” binary style of thinking.) The perpetration that competition is always healthy  can and does become over emphasized and dominates our societal agreements leading us into many habitual forms of behavior and becomes a lingering subconscious strategy to maintain  masses of people in mindsets of subjugation and conflict .

Subjugation as in agreements that support  human values of superiority, dominance, win/lose strategies, control, over powering, and so on… all in good fun? Yea right! Not actually, these strategies, these habits hold humans in forms of thinking of limitation outside the grander spectrum of human capability and cause patterns of repeating over and over again.. I find it crazy. These styles of thinking overlap into other areas of life with much consequence to our relationships.

The themes of dominance, over powering, and profiting that flow over into business, personal relationships, and basic human living do not embrace the large spectrum of universal spiritual values necessary to generate a world where everyone, and everything is evenly distributed. The huge imbalance of human resources, time, energy, and planetary goods remains constant. As a species we do not always see how our very thoughts and feelings overlap to each other, and across the world. Our thinking is what charges these situations with energy and so this is where it goes.

Group fear and petty tyrants, ego take overs, and control maniacs

Whole nations, global religious organizations, large segments of populations all over the world are living in group fears of all kinds. Loss of services  and resources, proliferation of war, lack of food, political oppression, political control agendas, domination, stifling of creativity. It is obvious to me that this is greatly out of balance, is not working, has not worked for generations. I refuse to invest my own personal energy into any forms of ego based policies, take overs, or agendas being fed to us under the many masks of good will. The un-balancing of human resources alone, the perpetual states of conflict, and the sheer levels of human poverty do not express the real values of spiritual wellness.

Petty tyrants that run banks, run businesses, run local governments, run their military all exert influences that seek control of some kind at us. The proportion of our world society that is held in some form of bondage, or subjugation and control is overwhelming. The few that exert dominance, conflict and control on the many is staggering. Money alone as a system on this planet serves the few while making workers out of the many. The levels of corruption, lies, deceit, and misuse that are coming to light now reveal the larger aspect of how money has been used for centuries to exert a “worker-force” of humans to supply the few. It is abhorrent to me how we have learned to accept this as normal. As a spiritual being I find myself pulling out of and away from any and all of the societal agreements we have around the value of money in this way. My personal value in life has nothing to do with how much or how little I have. This situation has undermined the basic spiritual value of an entire species of spiritual beings on this planet for thousands of years. I wonder how long it will continue! This is simply pure distortion!

Our group consensus to perpetrate fear under the guise of heroism, good will, with overt and covert tyrannical systems is like a virus in our human species. One for example is warring. That our government has perpetrated some form of war for 200 hundred years shows me that someone is adamant about making money, having control, dominating others, thwarting resources and really doesn’t care very much about the common man and woman, and child.

The amount of resources used in perpetrating war machinery  overrides every other aspect of our social and group well-being. At the expense of all of us, this planet, and the animals! Those behind the scenes of this are what I call control maniacs.

They represent themselves as just the opposite and want us to believe it. I do not. I refuse to accept that war, dominance, and submission are character traits that I want to live by. I refuse to buy into the many political agendas that perpetrate war, rather  I look at the real causes of oppression, suppression, and the unbalanced proportion of goods all over the world. Power issues are only the tip of the iceberg.

People need basic materials to have a happy, enriched environment with which to create life. How these factions of war mongering continue to fracture, break up, and pit one people against another is truly an ego maniac dream come true, filled with psychopathic leaders and their ego take over completely selfish agendas!

When oppressive societies rise up and individuals begin to feel their sense of true sovereignty.

I find it fascinating how forces of government, political leaders, religious leaders and teachers will exert power over whole groups of people anytime they attempt to exert real personal choice, personal sovereignty! I am not so certain that all the people who participate in carrying out these things actually realize what they are doing. Their own unconsciousness is often something they do not realize, as they would not truly do to other humans what they are doing to them? Would they if they were not brain washed, and driven by their own subconscious programming?

I mean, what the heck are those guys up in the sky thinking when they fill the sky with chem-trails? They are not, they are not thinking. There is a disconnect!

There is tremendous unconsciousness here, and yet this is a good example of how people are controlled through fear and do not even know they are! How many people just want to keep the bread on the table?  My sense is the majority of people perpetrating these actions would not do it were they connected, and self realized as spiritual beings having this human experience. There is a huge degree of human brainwashing and hypnosis in all this negative behavior.

Real fear as a warning, discernment about all our fears. Know the difference!

When fear is a signal of distress, danger, and there is a need for real action to address this, fear is a discernment we all must learn to make. We have to and must pay attention!There is real fear and there is false fear!

Fears that are self-generated, or inherited, or educated into us without real basis are some of the kinds of discernment up for re deciding. Safety and harmony are maintained when we take care of the dangerous aspects of life. I am in no way thinking that we must eliminate, ignore, or disengage with fear. Simply put I want to define it and reveal the actual causes of it in myself and then make appropriate choices. How real is what I am fearful, though my feelings are real, it is a discernment to realize. So much of what we think we need to be afraid of is not that at all.

Family fear and how we perpetrate these fears. Our starting points in life.

Unconscious programming is passed thru us via our behaviors and experiences within our families. Each family has a different perspective it is living out with themes, patterns, and directions. Our soul choice to incarnate into the particular family we are born into has much to do with these things. Frequently we come into these families as starting points for our need to learn as spiritual beings, and then we will transcend those conditions. By willingly going along with family patterns of fear based beliefs we perpetrate them to the next generations. My own experience of this is dramatic. There was a time when I pulled away from my birth family as the most loving thing I could possibly do for myself and there were those who insisted I was doing the exact opposite. It took years for some of them to realize the loving choices I made to disengage from family dynamics that I felt were toxic.

Family carries stories. Our stories carry our family based fears and we pass these along to our children and they pass them on to theirs whenever we allow ourselves to submit and perpetrate these histories. We do this as a kind of family character trait and act as if it is all normal. I choose to catch myself doing this as much as I can and to regroup, reevaluate, and re-decide at any time I need to. And our genes hold these stories and bring up inside us all the emotional patterns of our birth families. By way of conscious knowledge and better choices once we realize what our emotional patterning is we may, we can change this. This will switch on and off different genetic messages within us. Redirecting our future possibilities. We all have observed family members sharing the same emotional genetic patterning choosing differently and then having different outcomes because of how they choose to deal with these patterns.

Fear mongering

Fear mongering is the deliberate act of causing, exaggerating and repeating harm using fear based tactics to achieve control. Using fear to persuade people through their vulnerabilities and cause splits, divisions and chaos. This fear mongering engages us the more we are out of touch with our own inner sense of self. Otherwise this will distract. Fear mongering as a distraction tactic is widely used to actively engage in covert activities all over the world. Much of the contents of our daily news is filled with this kind of fear tactic. Driving the attention of billions of people away from their inner sense of authentic attention to what is real and focusing them on danger. It is a basic, primal feeling that has all of us to paying attention to danger and not going inside to our hearts for solutions. Fear mongering using this innate sense to manipulate and control while redirecting our attention to what may actually be happening. This is an effective method to use in order to dissuade real connection and inner self-awareness in humans. Many individuals are participants in this method and do not realize it. Not only are there serious political activities like this there are marketing ones too. The use of fear mongering in religious doctrines alone control billions of people without them having a clue.

Fear hidden in religious doctrines, dogmas, and how we learn to submit

Threats about the after life that cause harm and submission! If you do this then you will go to hell. If you do that you will go into a bottomless pit for eternity, if you express yourself in any way not keeping with the dogmas and doctrines of many religious teachings you are told you will have to suffer and burn in hell.

This is a distortion of the truth.

I know because I have visited the hell’s associated with this world with my spiritual guides in my own out-of-body experiences. I learned how we ourselves create hell. God does not do this to us. Nor was there a hell created for this purpose. The hell and damnation taught by religious doctrines and dogmas has been perpetrated as a fear mongering method to control people. This is a twisted version of the actual reality.

What I learned was that there is a natural law of the cosmos called action and reaction. This action/reaction causes us to experience the effects of our own negative actions as a means of learning something. Thus it is true that what we put out comes back. We are the source, on some level of whatever we experience. Everything returns to source and that includes source within each one of us!

The hell’s I visited developed out of the accumulations of millions of thoughts of people stuck in negative scenarios after they left their bodies at the moments of death. This caused a widening in the field of this planet that is called the astral realm. I saw, felt, and witnessed the horrible and very sad states of individuals in these places. Places that feel just as real as here once you are in them. But one very valuable aspect of this experience that I observed many times was how the consciousness of the person shifted in these hell’s. Once there became an opening out of the despondent hopeless nature, and self punishing, twisted sense of self, release happened.

This release would manifest according to the belief system of the person in the hellish bondage. If they were Christian… then an angel, or Jesus would extend a holy light to them and pull them out. If their belief system was directly connected to their core spiritual nature, their own inner light would pull them out. We call this redemption. It is a kind of resurrection of the individual. I watched as they rose out of the planes of suffering into more planes of harmonious light. As I watched this I could feel the nature of the darkened planes as those of self-created miseries. It was an obvious thing to see there. I also experienced my own aspect deep within a hell of this kind and the awful state of despair and powerlessness. I also experienced the uplifting release and transformation of that aspect of me. It is an experience never to be forgotten, as the return to true spiritual self is beyond words in description…. it is ecstatic and joyful!

The same experiences hold true for us on this plane. Not as extreme here on Earth, as when you leave your body and completely immerse yourself in a hell. But the dynamics of the miseries, the suffering, the pain that we unconsciously generate stay with us until we learn to shift. And shift into a better state. Probably just about every human alive has at one time or another descended into their own living hell on earth. And then rose out of it. Coming out of our own hell’s, when we finally make it out we bring with us tremendous new awareness’s. We integrate new compassion’s, new love, new understandings. It is an amazing experience. We have our descents and our ascents through our fears. We need to notice how this works and direct ourselves appropriately with understanding about how nature really functions. I have replaced my old beliefs in religious doctrines and dogmas of hell and damnation, pain and suffering with my experiences of how it really works.

Love is the dominant, prevailing, and omnipresent force not damnation and hell.

Most of the people who perpetrate these doctrines do so out of their belief in them, not their personal soul experience. If they were truly connected to the indwelling soul self they would not subject others to this method what so ever. Loving accountability, action and reaction and truthful telling of how the spiritual nature of the cosmos would be the teaching. Many pure little children have been subjected to these teachings at times when they themselves were at their purest and most vulnerable places in life. These teachings go deep into the psyche and then go underground into the subconscious mind as adults.

I worked with this particular issue of religious programming as a therapist. Working with people who had chronic sickness. Working with people who had deep complicated issues that traditional therapy was not reaching. In my hypnotherapy practice I studied and practiced religious deprogramming techniques designed specifically to address the issues I mentioned above. I was astonished to observe in clients the highly charged, emotionally based fear doctrines taught to them as children. Internalized so completely as a result of continuous repetition by well-meaning care givers. Internalized so deeply that these teachings replaced the actual inner voice of the adult. The result was an inability to authentically express their deeper unsettling emotions. The locks inside the psyche that went into place that prevented these adults from access to their genuine anger, sadness, fear and intrinsic inner truth along with  countless other emotions was riveting.

Pointing out the falseness of these teaching while accessing the authentic emotions underneath them accessed much-needed inner power and resolve to tackle the real problems associated with chronic sickness and debilitating mental and emotional states. The unresolved emotional landscapes underneath the physical symptoms.  I watched as client after client went into remission or passed beyond the horrendous difficulty in their therapeutic process. The transformations were miraculous. Once a person regains authentic inner connection to real feelings, and develops the awareness of discernment and learns to articulate and express genuine feelings the entire physical body responds in kind.The mental landscape of the individual clears out ! And a whole new level of homeostasis develops. A completely empowered and authentic spiritual nature moves in to replace the false, toxic belief system and the person is restored!This is a sight to see with your own eyes as the transformation is magnificent, truly magnificent!

Submitting and suppressing our most precious pure selves. The loss of true identity!

What we lose sight of by investing into fear based thinking is our most precious pure self. That is that in us that is below the surface of everything in the core. The core self. When we allow fear to guide our actions we lose the natural effectiveness of our precious pure self and that fear based thinking reshape all our actions and shifts the outcomes and directions of our lives.

To return to our most pure self is a beautiful and powerful experience where we become congruent inside us. We stop splitting ourselves up and conflicts become resolved more effectively, more naturally, more rapidly.

Loss of spiritual integrity, soul integrity, and connection with all of life

When we lose our inner connections in these ways we allow ourselves to make choices out of fear alone we lose sight of the natural spiritual integrity inherent in any situation. The fear masks many details of authentic  spirituality and as such twists and distorts authentic experiences of that which is spiritual. Our soul integrity is held at a distance while our ego based thinking engaged in fear directs our lives.

This cuts up the true interconnection we all have with one another and with life. And for this reason we prevent ourselves from seeing the larger picture. There is some fear controlling a person whenever there is a loss of connection to this large aspect of life. Distance from soul self generates feelings of powerlessness, loss, loneliness, and separation. Anxiety takes the place of our true loving spiritual presence. Repeating levels of anxiety of this kind can signal the need to question what it is we are afraid of and why. Tensions that do not resolve themselves take the place of authentic inner calm.

How fear limits attention, limits awareness, and takes away from creativity

Unconscious fears limit our capacity to pay attention to deeper more significant information that is available to any of us. Fear limits our awareness by dumbing down our awareness and limiting it . Differences are difficult to accept and this undermines our creativity. Without creativity we are doomed to repeat and repeat our life situations generating cycles of frustration and powerlessness. For this reason intentionally facing what holds us back is very important. We have the capacity to unlock all of our conundrums through the choices we make to step out of our fears and work towards dismantling their limiting effects.

We hide from fear, fear notions are designed to hide from us
We avoid fear…. no… we actually hide from it. And likewise our fears seem to hide from us. It is a great cat and mouse game humans play. This hiding from our fears cause set backs and repeating situations to occur over and over again. Cycles of repetition become the norm. A powerful spiritual message surfacing in the masses today is STOP HIDING! It is not necessary to hide your true self, your real emotions, and your deepest longings. Reveal to yourself! Let yourself come undone, or be undone. It is your choice how painful this will be. Whenever I notice a part of myself hiding I bring in love. Fear parts of ourselves cower in darkness, and misunderstanding. Inner conflicts are the results as these parts hold back the natural creative depth of our true inner selves. Loving oneself at this point is a mandatory step. Millions of people are now learning all over again how to love themselves and each other. We are learning to let love in, to let love guide, to let love have its way with us. This is a truly transformational thing to realize. Going through it feels miraculous and amazing. Where it is leading is unknown.

How in charge can you be when you are submitting to fear?

Not too much, though it may appear like it temporarily. Petty tyrants are the best example of this one. I have had my share of them. And I always learn to much. The thing is petty tyrants remain in the conditional states of their own fear based agendas, while those who finally get away, or out from them actually move forward in the life. Without the fear! This has been a liberating experience for me to observe and grateful I have been many times after releasing myself from these controls.

How loving can you be when you are submitting to fear?

Not to your full potential that is for sure. Love has a powerful way in life. Love, real love will usually teach us, lift us, release us from the limiting conditions of our previously self-created fear and transforms. How life looks to you may signal the real truth of your love. I always check this with myself. Am I free? If not I know that I have a way to go in the love departments. Without true inner freedoms my love is still conditional and controlled.

Splitting the human into pieces and how this detracts from our greater experience of  truth

Loaded subconscious thoughts and feelings that overtake our lives is what this looks like. The more unconscious material I can make conscious the better. There is a timing to this which protects the personality so that we do not become completely over taken by the subconscious. However much of our lives is still being governed by it. These splits are manifested outwardly in the splits we see around us in our humanity. The splitting, division of our species now undermines our collective experience of having truth as a whole planetary body. Imagine how it will be when the entire species has reached that quantum level. How differently the whole world would be. For this reason I do my part, with myself. I cannot do yours. We each have our own part in this unfolding process of life.

Committing to healing our fear consciously by choosing not to let it suppress you

The result of facing fear in myself has developed a commitment. A commitment to not suppress. This shifted all my relationships and was at that turning point a huge pivoting of my life expression. Choosing not to suppress myself required a whole new set of boundaries in all my relationships. These new boundaries moved people around in my life. Move me around as I found myself attracted to or repelled in new ways. I learned to take in much consideration to those closest to me so as to not be offensive. And to allow more time and space for them to process how it is I was choosing to be. The most significant thing though has been how many new people came into my life. These new people had different expectations, different boundaries, and were focused in more mutuality.

The breaking of hypnosis in the human collective

The dismantling of the false layers of self, the false beliefs, the false social agreements, the false ideas associated with so many aspects of our humanity are revelatory. I am less of a follower of others. Yet I am in good company. With more people following their inner soul voices, there is a remarkable stability among-st the chaos. There is a bonding, and understanding. There is a mutual recognition, and willingness.

The returning to Source

All returns to source. This is life. This is reality. This is how the cosmos runs. This is in effect here on this planet. What returns to source can be transformed, transcended, and completely transmuted. We simply need to remember that each person here is a point in Source! And that everything in everyone is returning to that source point, the source we share. The great paradox to get over is: we are one, we are many. Source within each of us is having this experience.

The direct experience of Source is Unmistakable. I could write a chapter on this alone. i have had the experiences of Source within me and i have traveled so far beyond the known universe into the the great cosmic sun,  the source for our own galaxy, our own universe. The love that this source has is beyond description, beyond words, beyond even holding so great a love it is! It fuels whole universes that to my observation was beyond comprehension.  For now I will say that the best experience of facing what holds me back, the fears is the experiences of the source-field, the amazing brilliant intelligence and love that is source. Within and outwardly, this is truly an amazing experience of living life as a spiritual being having a human experience. The fulfillment of all things, knowledge restored, and connection enhanced. The full circle moments, and the endless opportunities to get it right. It is all worth it. Every single bit!

Core Spirituality, my personal journey

Set backs! Life Moving backwards? Reoccurring Dramas…OH My!!!

Set backs! Life moving backwards? Reoccurring Dramas … oh my!!!!

core spirituality, my personal journey

What is a set back… really?

Redefining an old problem like a set back can lean you into and open up whole new levels of personal information once we make the shift. The shift out of the frustration and limitation and disappointment that typically arise from our set backs.

So what could be another reason for a set back? A set back comes to you because you are moving too quickly and have set up unrealistic expectations from the beginning. The set back will slow you down and even halt you. These set backs provide extra time for you to re decide, re think the circumstances within the dynamics of your situation. The larger forces that hold you, the larger part of yourself puts a hold on things because of the way you are moving forward with the ideas you have in mind are not going to manifest as you think they are. The final outcome is not going to be what you planned, and you have to make adjustments.

Corrections need to made in order to bring the outcomes you have in mind.

The set back is a zone of extra time that provides for you the space to observe and make those corrections. Welcoming a set back for what it truly is will smooth out the frustrating conditions you have and will open you to recognizing something you have missed up to now. Set backs are for your own good, your own well-being. Sometimes it is a matter of timing, sometimes it is in the structure of your design, sometimes it is just some detail that needs adjusting so that what you think is going to happen can happen. I know that when I encounter my own set backs I have been moving too rapidly and I must slow down and make readjustments or I had set up unrealistic expectations or both. It’s that simple.

Moving backwards is really moving forwards, learning to get a grip on reality

There is no real moving backwards however it feels like it. We are moving forwards by dipping down into something we bring up from our past that needs processing. A past incident, or the sense of moving backwards arises when there are details of our story that have been missed, obscured to our awareness, and we need to take a fresh new look and find out something new in an old situation. This can only happen in our “now”moment. Whenever an old drama shows up again in my now moment I take a look at what I may have missed before.

That old drama is back again, now what do I do?

Be open to it. Stay open, be receptive, and feel stuff.

There are a lot of pieces of valuable information contained in us that we habitually skip over. We sometimes need to have a review so that we can learn what it is we have missed all along.

Dramas do not repeat themselves once they have completed unless you are realizing your final testing in that set up. From a spiritual point of view we will test ourselves to find out if there are any emotional, mental charges still sitting inside us around any one drama. Once we find that we have managed every highly charged aspect we carry around a drama and there no longer is upset, or emotional charge, my experience is that the drama recedes. The drama no longer pulls you off your path. I have found that I actually can laugh where once I was crying or horrified, and I find that I have gratitude replacing all the previous uncomfortable feelings I was in the grips of inside myself. There is a new neutrality and an understanding.

While this has been my own experience with old dramas that reappear, it is not the case with those individuals with whom the drama was being acted out. I realize that not everyone gets the awareness of the situation all at the same time. Thus another person or persons can still be enslaved by the components of a particular drama for some time afterwards without realizing all that the drama could teach them.

We all have our own timing in the awakening process of life. I have learned to accept this about us and not hold grudges or negativity with those people still stuck in the learning experiences of a drama.

The meaningful purpose of going within to find answers

We don’t always get to the meaningful purpose of set backs and dramas when we are engaged on the surface with our contemporaries. Our socialization process has brainwashed most of us to seek and find validity in our conclusions through agreements in numbers. Instead of our own individual conscience, or inner knowledge. And for this reason the act of self-reflection, observation, and going deeper is necessary to resolve our own unanswered questions about our involvements in any set backs or dramas that keep showing up in our lives. The deeper layers of our emotions, our core feelings, and our intuitions all hold valuable new levels of information that will balance out these scenarios.

Not necessarily for everyone but surely for yourself.

Taking our dramas apart to find what is deep inside us

Set backs and dramas are connected to important issues for which we are born to face as spiritual beings having a human experience. Our conundrums, difficulties, and personal challenges all have deeper meaning and significance to our over all spiritual selves. We are meant to solve the problems, figure them out and learn new things. Not just suffer, and repeat. ( or be punished as some doctrines and dogmas are teaching)

Thus to make time to take apart the components of our painful dramas will start the process of going deeper inside ourselves. Learning to observe with a keener eye to details, and to find what is it about a set back or drama that hooks us.

These hooks in our psyche’s are our deeper places of potential self knowing and provide valuable information for which we must be willing to dive deeper, see more, and accept what it is we have not about ourselves.

There are aspects of ourselves for which we have turned away, refused to accept, or denied. These reoccurring dramas are our wake up calls to our inner spiritual development. They cannot just be willed away, they need to be embraced and processed and we then learn from them. Be prepared to have your lens of perception shift, often it has been our perceptual lens that filtered out meaningful info. Here is where you get the realizations that begin to infuse your awareness with new possibilities. We learn to see differently!

How our life situations are really our own set ups

Typically when we form situations and then they turn into dramas that wont go away we did so in some way that has been unconscious. This lack of self-awareness built the circumstances that are in those dramas. When they return they do so by returning to a source in the dynamic. It is our own part in the drama that becomes the issue and so we learn to look again. This is our own set up and we set it up. We do this to ourselves. Yet we don’t realize this at the beginning until we have to suffer through the results of our actions in any repeating scenario. And the situation comes back to us.

It does so because of some part that we played in it. Now we get another chance to clean it up, look at it with a fresh perspective and re decide.

Our spiritual nature is set up so that everything returns to its source. This is a universal component of the cosmos. This quality filters through all life. And so with our unresolved issues…. they come back to us because in some way we are the creators of them. As co creators in life we are spiritually filled with integrity even when our personalities are not yet, our spiritual nature makes sure we stay congruent to our actions and returns situations back to us to complete. The dramas in our lives stop repeating when we complete our sides of the equation in those dramas. And then and only then do we get unhooked!

Unconsciousness and lack of awareness… turning away from our own depth of self

By looking away, ignoring, staying in denial, by separating ourselves humans think they can get away from their creations, their dramas. Avoiding all responsibility for co creating. This is just so not true. I have myself had the experience of doing all of these things. I moved across the world to another country where they did not even speak English, and I knew only a few people. What showed up at a party? A person who had the same issues, the same attraction to me, the same drama! Ugggh! I could not believe it at the time. How was this possible I asked myself ? Yet I learned that the cosmos is so congruent, so real and so capable that it provided to me, and I attracted to myself the very same drama I left behind. I did this because I was holding all the patterns inside me and still vibration ally the same. I was a walking magnet for specific dramas. What a realization. I learned to become more conscious and look more deeply inside myself so I could find out how to get unhooked from my drama. I had to face my own denial.

Denial and the painful price we pay by insisting on being stuck

Our humanity is filled with pain and suffering which results in repeating life dramas, all kinds of toxic addictions, and strange mental diseases.

Deep within us is some kind of denial about our creations.

Denials about our parts we play in the ongoing unfolding of circumstances in our lives. Our denials exact a tremendous price of disharmony. When we begin to realize how it is we are each co creating our lives via our choices we begin to go to new levels of capability that reveal the true spiritual power that lies within us as spiritual beings having a human experience.

The remarkable spiritual ability we all have to get through

As we brake away from denials we learn to embrace our place. We can learn new things and our capacity to hold what we resisted becomes enhanced. Through new inner powers of courage and maturity we develop new skills with which to embrace dramas. Insight, clarity, and deeper feelings all start moving into our interior and the spiritual energies within us start to catalyze our personalities in powerful new ways.

When we step out of the hypnotized brain washing socialization many of us have been through and begin to investigate our own spiritual nature we find we have more energy. This energy gets UN-tethered to dramas and is free for us to co create so much more and so much better. Our hearts respond naturally as vehicles of knowledge and wisdom. We begin to learn to care in new ways.

The new places our caring will take us

The new ways our caring will infuse us is with self-love and love for others. By moving aside the harsh and limiting aspects of our nature to reveal our larger ability to care more deeply. Caring more deeply sustains us when it gets really hard to withstand the viewing of our own creations, our parts. When we have been unconscious or we turned away. The painful self realizations we must pass through are buffered by the caring loving heart that simultaneously opens and illuminates our character. Providing us a broader perspective with which to solve our problem with any repeating drama. Our heart-felt illuminations free our limiting thinking minds.

Opening our hearts and freeing ourselves from our own minds

The power of our thinking minds to hold us in enslavement is quite remarkable. What we invest into by way of our thinking, of our beliefs that were formed out of thought is staggering. Often in my work I have encountered people who are totally taken over by the powers of their linear, logical thinking minds. This habit of putting so much of ourselves into our minds and holding ourselves there is a common social and cultural experience that is strengthened by group agreements. Our minds can loop us around in dramas like crazy. My experience is that once the heart openings begin that this causes a relocation of logical mind out of its control over us and causes a new place where the mind learns to interpret the heart messages. Using intellect in this way integrates both the qualities of the thinking mind with the heart mind. Freeing our attachments to thinking. This will lead us to new practices of authentic personal sovereignty quite naturally for each of us. This natural exchange of new skills integrates the new into our lives in practical ways that take care of our places in any reoccurring dramas.

Learning new ways and practicing personal sovereignty

These new skill sets develop our characters and abilities in fascinating new ways. In my case one of the first new skills I gained was listening. Instead of insisting on always having my point of view heard, I learned how wonderful it is to listen without adding my point of view. This shifted all my relationships. And particularly my inner relationship as I learned to listen more deeply to my own inner urges, intuitions, and the wise wisdom that would appear in me while engaged in any dramas. Insight in the way of unspoken pictures, words, feelings, and messages start to appear in the mind which start informing in a way that adds to our capacity to understand, accept, embrace, and care more deeply those people and situations. People and situations that in the past may have triggered negativity now inform positively. As personal sovereignty develops so does interior richness of our innate spiritual nature.

The shifting of our relationships

When we go into our set backs, and recurring dramas with our spiritual nature intact and informing us with all these new pieces of information I have found the dynamics of my relationships have shifted. For one thing I have virtually little of the dramas I used to in my closest circles. The amount of love we share has increased on a daily basis on a scale I can hardly describe or measure. I had no idea how full the world is with loving caring people. They, we… are everywhere in all walks of life and show up in any moment. I have found it astounding how loving individuals show up in my world who are complete strangers who share their loving selves with me. In lines at grocery store, at the gas station, clients, formerly hostile family members… at any moment around any bend there can be a loving being that will meet up with us and strengthen us on our path. Amazing how this happens over and over again.

Globally we have many set backs and certainly many recurring dramas.

These situations are being perpetrated by individuals who invest into these things intentionally and unconsciously for personal gain at the expense of others . Perpetrating them so as to cause more suffering, more capacity for ego take overs. The continuous repetition on a world-wide basis of drama is a way in which we are swayed from looking into our dramas and led to believe we are victims.

These victimization dilemmas will recede more and more as individuals learn the true significance of these situations in our own personal daily lives.

As we pull ourselves away from the insistence on participating in repeating dramas we discover new and better situations. And this we have to do on a personal level. In this way our personal lives really do make a difference and we stop what it is that makes us crazy.

Our own personal accountability and inner responses drive forward what is happening in our shared reality. We dismantle toxic set ups, and dramas and replace them with our own versions of healthy ones. We are able to watch this in our own little lives and as we cultivate this to larger and larger degrees and it becomes apparent how this is all interconnected and shaping our external reality.

Our choices to live in drama or out of drama, to realize how our set backs have significance all lead us toward our next possibility. By virtue of that choice we make we can either live in frustration and pain and suffering repeating over and over still even more, or we can choose differently and learn to go deeper into our own inner knowledge and find our own new purposeful new choices. It is a choice that is with each one of us.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

EGO Take-overs !…, Our Life Shifts Possible From Ego Awareness? … Core Spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

EGO Take-overs !…, Our Life Shifts Possible From Ego Awareness? … Core Spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Help!!!!!!! My own ego has taken me over and I can’t get up!

Conflicts, pain, suffering, confusions, and misunderstandings mixed with power issues. This is terrible! How frequently does my own ego jump in and take over me? And how covert is this anyway? Do other people’s egos over power you? Not only in the general public but also within the spiritual community.

Ego awareness is a tremendous form of self-awareness that opens us to our most valuable inner qualities. Looking into what and how our ego’s take hold and identifying behaviors can be an unnerving yet a most amazing way to get to our deepest authentic self. I decided to write down some of my own ego places and what I have learned by applying self honesty and getting to know my ego.

First of all I want to start by saying the ego is not bad, does not need to killed, erased or eliminated. The ego needs to learn… and to learn how to fit in with rest of the self. The path of the ego is the path of balancing the self in human form. There is nothing wrong with it until you become too uncomfortable, and then it is time to grow. It is the growth of consciousness within us and the balance we learn by applying self-awareness. Particularly ego awareness! That juxtaposes our egos into the best position within us to navigate our lives!

What is the ego?

The ego is that part of our consciousness that develops as singularity of self inside our consciousness and thus is the beginning of the development of our self-identity, self awareness and personal sense of individuality. The ego learns how to get by in the world, and typically sees itself as separate from everyone and everything.

The ego is a starting point for us and need not be the end point of our lives. We are all born into a spectrum of acting out as babies, little egos in the world discovering life.

In the beginning an ego thinks it is the sum total of ourselves… it thinks it is THE SELF! The ego learns to define life from its particular individualized point of view and is a valuable aspect of our human development, yet it is only one aspect of ourselves. I know I am in my ego state when I am seeing life as separate, am convinced in supporting opposing points of view that perpetrate power over others, with more separation scenarios and I am supporting more points of view that perpetrate unnecessary fear, and when I am caught in the act of diminishing others.

We all have had our journeys through our ego’s, and the ego’s of other people… parents, siblings, teachers, those in authority, politicians, scientists, specialists, pastors, religious leaders, leaders of all kinds. This planet is virtually overwhelmed with egotistical voices of authority, dominance, and suppression of true and valuable internal knowledge. Learning to navigate this world of the earthly based human ego is no small feat, they are everywhere in every aspect of our lives. One method of learning true navigation in this ego-based world society is to get to know your own ego.

Below I decided to share some of the incredible ego states I discovered in myself and that I have been learning to work through all my life. I love my ego. Much of it formed its opinions when I was unaware. And because I wasn’t paying attention at that time my ego states grew to ridiculous and many times problematic proportions. As I began to wake up and notice, it wasn’t you who was wreaking havoc with my life, it was my own ego I began to get to understand and know my ego.

Below are just some of the amazing ego take overs I have experienced that may trigger you to get to know your ego self. By loving and appreciating my ego and learning to forgive myself for my own lack of observation in this regard I am learning to re-balance myself with respect for and to my ego self. So here goes, here are some of my ego dilemmas.

I know I am in my ego when I see life as competition and allow myself to feel less than blessed in any situation or any moment.

I know I am in my ego when I am driven to fill myself up, out of a sense of emptiness. When I am eating out of emptiness, when I am compulsively seeking stimulation of any kind. I know I have left the grips of my ego when I return to wholeness, and I nurture my well being.

I know I am in the grips of my ego when I am looking outwards for my sense of right-ness, I have left my ego when I look inwards. My answers come from within me!

I know I am in my ego when I am stuck in any form of lack.

When I have bought into a reality of lack I lose my grounding. I know I have released the grip of my ego when I return to abundance. When I allow myself to rest within the greater truth that there is plenty, and plenty for all. Losing sight of abundance in any way signals me to get a grip. I choose not to perpetrate the ideas in the world which say there is not enough for everyone. That is simply a strange yet true form of ego takeover .

I know I am stuck in ego when I seek wisdom outside me, I know I have returned to my authentic self when I seek, wait, find, wisdom within myself. I cultivate and develop my ability to be wise. Wisdom discovered as a personal experience always replaces that which was from outside us.

I know I am in my ego state when I am in fear of endings, and my own mortality.

When I let go of this fear I go to my own internal space of the eternal. The eternal within me nourishes me and realign my attention towards truthfulness. I eliminate my outer emotional investments in false teachings, doctrines, and agreements that profess anything other than the actual truth, that our nature is eternal.

I know I am stuck in my ego when I am stuck on me.

When I am possessed by my own thoughts, feelings, situation, and positions to the exclusion of others. I know I have passed out of this when I get to we. Replacing me with we always shifts any difficult personal situation and reveals information that was withheld to our awareness because of the selfish nature we were investing ourselves!

I know I am stuck in ego when I cause pain to myself and others as a solution to me.

When I release myself from the grips of my own ego I cause healing. I always shift the equations from me to we and then I realize my own participation and power to truly heal. Healing takes many forms and simply implies wholeness. Anytime I can grab hold of another piece of my puzzle that contributes to being whole I am better off.

I know I am in my ego when I am driven to have outward recognition.

I have left that place when I seek my own inner authority. Inner authenticity is the expression that replaces any forms of compulsive outward recognition.

I know I am a victim of my circumstances and I feel how my ego causes me to be separate, less than, and diminished.

I leave this place when I return to my inner realization that I create my own reality. I shift my perceptions and return to my own resources within. My circumstances are my growing places and I do not intend to stay a victim in these places…. I can always learn something that will add to my spiritual awareness and thus support me in transforming, and transcending a situation.

I know I am in my ego when I fear the temporary nature of life.

When I let go of my ego I find I feel how awesome life can be, that it is constantly changing and that situations are temporary. When I am out of the grips of my ego I recognize a bigger picture unfolding and the greater realization that is unfolding for me to learn all about. I am grateful for the unlimited expression of the temporal nature of life.

I know I am stuck in my ego when I only see and feel how complicated things are.

I feel overwhelmed and victimized. When I let go of the grip of my ego mind I recognize the parts, I see how things fit together, I open myself to learning more. I learn to dismantle my overwhelms and I recognize patterns emerging for me to learn about. Simplicity replaces complication. Simplicity becomes my new theme.

I know that I am in an egotistical place when I I think I am more spiritual, or you are more spiritual than me.

When I think that what I am doing is more spiritual, and I notice the unconscious levels of superiority within me I am surely in an ego take over.. I know when I am getting into self-righteousness and superiority I am deep in my ego separations. I know I have released the pain this causes and the friction it generates when I return to the place of authentic spirituality and I recognize how spirit in all of us is unlimited in expression. I know that everything, and all actions are sourced from a spiritual domain. We are all on equal grounding as humans and our capacity to express our own spiritual directions has many colors, shapes and sizes. I see myself in you and my heart opens with loving attention and willingness to share. Unity replaces separation, and oneness replaces superiority.

I know I am in the grips of my ego when I am hard-hearted.

I let go of my strictness, my fixed-ness and I find compassion. When I return to compassion I allow myself to melt my own ego hardness. At any time I alow myself permission to change, and then to share this with those whom I have held my hard-heartedness.

I know I am in my ego when I get impatient and cause more negativity.

I let go my impatience and find remarkable new levels of patience inwardly. I move with patience and this informs me in totally new ways that assist the unfolding of whatever is going on. Slowing down enable me to be more capable of the details. Details I was missing when I was impatient.

I know I am in my ego grips when I am indifferent, and lackadaisical.

When I lose sight of and interest in the unfolding of circumstances around me and in the world. I let go of my egotistical grips and find myself happy and open-minded to pay attention and remain open. I seek to learn and understand where I refused to care. Caring replaces complacency.

I know I am in my ego when I allow my own mind to generate unrealistic fear about anything. Allowing myself to engage in fear based group mind thinking that is fear mongering, fear making, and fear based limits my authentic self-expression and connections to others, to differences and to opposing points of view. I know I have released my ego based hypnotized self when I begin to experience inner courage, strength, and genuine power. I see how fear is a stepping stone toward greater self-expression, and the possibility for developing group awareness. I see the problems, conflicts and have empathy arise within me to replace the frozen, limiting, hard perceptions that fear cause in my own human conditions.

Hostility is a sure sign I am in my ego self, and when I release this I learn to process the layers of my own feelings and thoughts in a way that reveal my true friendliness and willingness to cooperate. I learn to pay attention to issues that arise and I take care of what needs to be addressed. I refuse to allow myself to participate in social movements that perpetrate these hostilities.

I know that my ego has overtaken me when I am stuck in past and future life scenarios.

Unable to be present the endless playing of story lines, old conversations, and hurtful past experiences dominate my inner world. I can’t reach the future, yet it is the only place I want to escape. As I relinquish this ego trap I return to the “NOW” moment. I become capable of managing whatever arises because I am present for it.

Complaining all the time, is how I feel when I am stuck in ego states.

Instead of complaining I return to gratitude. When I shift into gratitude I release the endless negativity of relentless complaining and I feel a sense of acceptance with life that shows me how to transcend, and use my circumstances to grow.

War…. warring with others as a way of life or pattern of constantly battling is a sure sign I am in the grips of some egotistical state of my own creation.

Including national and international group notions of continual war. I know I am leaving the painful grips of my ego when I accept the possibility that peace is possible and I choose peace as a way to solve conflict. No matter how long it takes, or how it looks. Peace is the choice that replaces war, and restores the core spirituality, or soulful aspect into my life.

I peacefully engage my awareness to the problems of war and my own inner battles.

I shift my energy from outward to inward and I refresh my own attention to my inner battles.

I resolve my inner wars and restore my inner peace as a solution to the outer wars on this planet.

Peace is possible.

Intolerance is the uncomfortable act of ego grip that strangles the soul in the human form.

Whenever I recognize my own intolerance I shift into tolerance. I see my own limited self, my own limiting perceptions and I pull away from any and all forms of externally based intolerance. I stop the flow of this group mind behavior in myself. As I cultivate tolerance within me I contribute in the world in much more meaningful ways and I find connections with others for which there had been none. I learn to bring tolerance to my own difficulties and I love what process I am going through.

Self importance at the expense of others is a horrible ego state that isolates and generates many negative human relationship problems.

Whenever I let go of my own self importance in this way I shift my energy and attention to We importance. Lessening the weight of the self brings equality, equanimity and lightness of being. We not me has become a new mantra!

Self denial is the uncomfortable act of not getting my authentic needs met.

I know I am in the grips of some kind of ego takeover when I am in self denials. The uncomfortable outcomes that arise from self-denial cause all manner of toxic life interactions. Human relationships, relationship to the divine in life are all inhibited and thwarted by my self-denial. Unhappiness, suffering and pain are the usual outcomes. When I let go of the egotistical notion of self-denial I open myself to the genuine possibility and the actualization of my own authentic sovereignty. I become more of an honest expression of my soul in human form, and I tend to life with others in a realistic and meaningful way.

Blaming and shaming others for how I am, how I feel, and my circumstances in life.

This is the uncomfortable short sided perception coming from my own ego based thinking. This generates endless cycles of victimization and diminished self-love. When I find myself insisting on blaming and shaming others I know I am in some kind of ego takeover.

When I get others to side with me I only increase my own ego gratifications and perpetrate ego states in others.

When I release this toxic behavior I shift into accountability.

When I choose my own accountability in any blame and shame situation the entire dynamic transforms for me, regardless of the actions of others. There is no greater inner power in a situation where there is blame and shame being tossed about.

Accountability protects and restores internal integrity where it was given away through the unconscious action of egotistical blame and shame. I refuse to participate in the group agreements where this is being hurled across the planet. I replace all forms of blame and shame with my own internal personal accountability.

Power over others, however covert and sublime, and tricky this may be this is a sure sign I have engaged my own egotistical self-centered selfish self.

While this may be a temporary feel good solution to a problem it never lasts. It cannot be sustained except through perpetrating over and over again ones position and can be made more significant by engaging others to support this negative egotistical position. Power over others multiplied by social agreements creates more of the unsolved problems that dis-empower others and generates cycles of abuse, victimization, and unending cycles of repeating human relationship issues. By participating in group agreements in this way I cause my own problems in the world and never get to the core issues or solutions. When I can get myself out of the grips of this ego takeover state I find humility. Humility restores equanimity and fairness. Humility keeps me in my own place and prevents me from overstepping boundaries of others, demonizing those with differences. And opens me to new levels of perception that lead to brand new solutions. Without humility these solutions to life relationships and situations remain obscured. We cannot and will not and do not see the possibilities that are potent in our life situations when we are in our ego takeovers filled with power over others. Read those last tow sentences again they are treasures.

I know I am in my ego when I find myself over micromanaging, dis-empowering others, and over demanding control over others.

When organization stumbles and falls apart. Over managing situations is frustrating and generates more and more negative outcomes. When I let go of my egotistical ideas for control I find the value I missed in others. The value of our interrelation increases and I stabilize my own resources for accomplishing the tasks at hand. I affirm the power and capability of others and their our freedom to choose.

Global Ego Take-overs

Currently on our planet there are a multitude of themes in banking, economics, business, religion, politics, military, science, education, socialization of whole groups, to name a few… all running some person’s ego takeover of the world. It is truly astonishing to recognize. This is being brought out into our awareness with painful insight, dangerous revelations, and waves of data drops. The times are such that we are able now to see our own global take-overs. Without a certain level of integrity to address these issues one can surely turn into a victim. Victimization on a mass level is being revealed and it is horrific. On the other hand it is enlightening. It is enlightening in that we can now address the real sources of our human problems. We can address them most powerfully and with utmost potency by way of our own choices to address and tend to our own ego based emotional investments, our own ego based ideas, and our own ego driven actions. Without our own individual ego re-educations we are doomed to more and more victimization. All of which stops whenever we clean up, tend to, take care of our own crazy ego’s!

It is not possible for another ego to take you over when you stop giving over your personal power to these situations. I am stopping giving away my resources, personal emotions, thoughts and ideas to egotistical people, groups, or movements.

By taking into accountability my own ego, the damaging effects stop.

How to realize personal power requires the honest self reflection, processing, and decision-making to either continue to invest emotions and thoughts and actions into ego based scenarios or not to invest.

This is a personal decision-making process that millions of people are making at this time in our world. We are collectively waking up and learning to choose differently.

Our collective human species is not in agreement in the deepest core place with all these ego take-overs. Our collective human species is… one person at a time… choosing differently. And the Hundredth monkey effect is happening as more and more people are suddenly deciding not to participate in small ego based, self-centered, ridiculous life situations.

The larger more capable aspect of our species which lies beyond mere egocentric life decisions is growing. What this looks like is the return to earth, or to physicality of spirit. The spiritual being having a human experience. This is core spirituality!

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Turning Points, What are they? And Why?, Core Spirituality, my personal journey

Turning Points, What are they? And Why?, Core Spirituality, my personal journey

Turning points are the accumulations of experiences we have which gain momentum and propel us into new information. Our thoughts and feelings drive us toward action. These thoughts and feelings have substance, and as such they have momentum. The growing momentum in our thoughts and feelings develop fullness. This fullness carries power. The power of our momentum drives us forward or backward as each experience unfolds. When we develop a sense of complete fullness we pass through turning points.

This occurs whether this is totally private and inward and moves us seemingly without outer consequence, yet it is the very weight of our internal choices, dwellings upon, that will cause events in our externalized life to become triggered. Externally we can easily see how actions we take bring forth outcomes that cause us to turn.

Turning points as crisis

crisis is the turning point in our lives. As the nature of crisis being upsetting to the existing conditions and the facing off of opposing or highly charged differing points of view. I have learned to embrace crisis for the real significance it carries…. we have arrived at a turning point. Whenever we allow ourselves to be frozen, overwhelmed, over taken, and upset by the drama within the crisis we undergo a kind of metamorphosis. Things begin to change shape. To become stuck in this aspect of the dynamic of a turning point can prolong suffering, and hold off the changes about to occur. I watch as people stay stuck in dramas of all kinds without moving on and thus with hold the power of meeting up to their turning points in life and the upcoming new possibilities yet to show themselves. This is particularly true in our relationships. Work dynamics, and states of personal evolution. Thus to take on the notion that crisis is actually a turning point for our own development is a wise choice to make. And then to open to learn what this all means as it unfolds.

Humanity is within such a time as a species and as individuals. Huge groupings of people are sharing in the experiences of great turning points in life, without realizing this all that is left is the drama, and drama alone is not enough to stabilize the conditions that arise in these crisis’. Darker forces of unloving unconscious people hook in and can take advantage of these very vulnerable zones. When we see how unconsciousness plays a part in suffering in this way we can take back our selves by learning to let the drama of crisis move us forward and see where it leads. Refusing to be taken advantage of at this time is crucial. Yet it continues on the world stage. We need to wake up! Stop investing into the dramas and utilize the momentum of these turning points to develop ourselves, develop awareness, and to put an end to victimization. The experience of crisis is enough on its own for anyone. We can and are healing much of what it means to be human through taking care of our crisis points, our turning points!

Turning points as realizations

the dynamic turn of events in turning points redirect our attention so that we open up to new realizations. These realizations have meaning for each of us. Whether we are an observer or we are dead smack in the middle of a great turning point. Realizations charge our attention with new thoughts and feelings that need to be processed so that important decisions will be made. These decisions that we make are what will catalyze the outer world into the transformation awaiting each of us. Paying attention to our realizations can have tremendous power for each of us as we live out each day. Truthful sharing and recognition of what it is we are realizing is how we as a group, as a species, move all of us along. We are many yet one in this case and what any one of us decides at these turning points affects the group in some way.

Confusions and chaos may signal a new turning point

I like to re frame my notion of confusion and chaos as new information arriving. Not just confusion as we typically have been programmed to hold it. Confusion and chaos is a signal that differing forces are arriving to our awareness that need attention. When confusions hold a lot of charge to them this can be the signal that we have arrived at some kind of turning point. A larger perspective, a bigger turn of events may be about to arrive. Thus holding confusion with diligent awareness to details, and possibility for learning is potent. Often we will discover something new that has escaped our attention, and needs to be addressed. I use my own confusion to untangle, unravel, or decode some elements of thinking, or perception that are not quite in line with a larger picture or truth that is up for me to realize. In this way there is only minimal victimization and maximum awareness.

The wisdom of observing self

The closer we become to developing independent self observations the more capable we are of understanding our turning points. One important component of self observation is learning how to see our mind. See our thoughts, feel our feelings and to step back, disengage from the intensity of merging our entire being into our minds. The intellectual mind is limited. Getting out of your mind can be the healthiest thing to do in many situations. The thinking mind wants to think it is in total control of everything, when reality is… it is not. Self observation acts as a buffer to this overwhelming experience of being over taken by ones thoughts. And provides levity to the overall awareness within us. Self observation can be cultivated passively through various practices of meditation, prayer, and actively while we are going through our day. In this way we can learn to use the mind as a translator for deeper thoughts inside us, deeper realizations that have yet to fit into our outer awareness or thinking. Yet ripe to be developed.

The knowledge that is real inside you

Knowledge that is inside each of us is real. This is a big realization as we shift from the habits of leaning on others to know things. Converting our externally based leaning into internal ones shows us how we are actually receiving knowledge from within. That there have been forces active on this planet for generations now seeking to sway us from this is quite a wake up call. Familial, religious, social, educational, political forces…. to name a few have actively been engaging people to seek knowledge in memorization, rote learning, submission to rules and regulations, doctrines, and dogmas in an attempt to gain power over people. Yet what truly matters and ultimately makes the difference is the realization that knowledge is within.

The power of living off your own energy

The shift in energy we get when we live off of our own interior is dramatic. There is an unlimited source of spiritual power that will charge an individual with energy whenever we make the shift off of depending on, leaning into others for our knowledge. It can be quite draining to follow rules that don’t really feel authentic. It can feel powerless to believe all the knowledge is outside of you, and not within. Thus to begin the process of learning how to live off of your own interior, authentic power will activate new sources of energy that will be very surprising to many. This is a marvelous realization I have come to understand, and often I thought in my mind things are impossible and really they are NOT!

Accessing the power of turning points

The momentum we personally achieve by way of shifting our awareness inward and learning to access our own interior sources of energy and power can fuel turning points. Joining these two forces, inner energy with outer turning points provides the larger more necessary fuel needed to make a break-through. Turning points draw lots of energy as the swirling of all the different forces contained in the conditions require huge strength to pass beyond. When we learn how to access turning points as positive energetic shifts we propel ourselves into much more capability. Capability in ways we are Developing for ourselves and adding to our spiritual knowledge.

maintaining equilibrium through chang

My favorite imagery for maintaining equilibrium through change is a tornado. At an earlier time in my life the course of events that were either in crisis, or in big time swirling around me was so huge my little self did everything just to hold on. Turning points can have huge impact on the personal levels of ourselves and really challenge us, challenge our sanity, and just about every aspect of being human. Thus as I was in a time such as this I found the image of a tornado came to me repeatedly. And I learned to see myself in that tornado. I leaned to see myself moving within it, in the still quiet of the center as it moved all around. I adopted the idea of being still on a moving point. This allowed me to continue in the process of changes occurring while maintaining an internal sense of balance. In time this became a very comfortable place for me.

Allowing what is arising as a choice for personal growth

By allowing I am implying that whatever arises I choose growth as the purpose for it all. Allowing is the act of submitting to the deepest part of myself. The deepest part of myself that holds the knowledge of my true spiritual direction and the unfolding wisdom in the events around me. To allow the deepest part of self to be the secure place to place my attention. In this way I have learned that no matter what… no matter what circumstances I must face, the ultimate outcome is a return to self, a return to greater realization and the deepening of my own authentic spiritual nature. And I have had to face tremendous negative elements in my lifetime… from dark demonic to ultimate betrayal to name a few of those circumstances. Allowing the deep in self to an energetic, interior source of resting, security, and ultimately power. This shifts dynamics all around and literally there has not been one issue with which I have not been able to face and come to a spiritual place with it. The interior choice to hold circumstances as opportunities for personal growth has catapulted the meaning and significance of everyday life into such amazing purpose.

Spiritual development and growth are the why

Spiritual growth is the “why?” we go through what we do. Plain and simple. Whenever I need an answer to a why question regarding my life and I have not received a specific response, I always get the answer is ….for my spiritual growth. This one shift in attitude has completely opened up my awareness into every aspect of human life. Without spiritual growth as the underlying purpose life conditions appear meaningless and in congruent. With it the possibilities are infinite.

Core spirituality within our turning points

Bringing core spirituality to my turning points in life has shown me how I fit into the larger picture unfolding. It has brought significant intuitive understanding, opened me when I was contracting and shutting down, connected seemingly separate situations and shown me how there is a larger picture to my life.

Life without meaning

The obvious alternative is life without meaning. And I have found myself in that place many times. Whenever I have made the choice to stay unconscious. Whether that choice was one I realized I was making or whether I had made it when I was unaware. Life without meaning is boring, frustrating, unhappy, broken and chopped up, and without joy. I have learned that whenever I experience these kinds of things I have looked away from being aware. It is a negative form of learning something very positive. In time I am learning to choose awareness, and this invites meaning.

The significance of learning to recognize the bigger pictures

While staying in an awareness of ego positioning, opposing points of view, conflicts, misunderstandings, prejudices, fixed bias’s keep a person in a little picture, a tiny box of awareness. Where pain and suffering grow. Where manipulations and power struggles are endless. The alternative is to learn to embrace, learn the significance of recognizing the bigger picture in any one situation.

Why we exist without remembering

We exist without remembering all these things as a self made set up… that is looking at it from a spiritual perspective. We temporarily undergo a kind of spiritual amnesia when we are born. We do this because we want to infuse our life circumstances with the absolute greatest possibilities for awakening. Our unconsciousness is only a starting point in any one situation. In reality this unconscious starting point is leading us to all our conscious turning points. Turning points where we do remember what we have forgotten as spiritual beings having a human experience. We remember our innate capabilities through the exploration of human conditions that ignite further knowledge and awareness. There really is such purpose in all things.

Leaving your turning points behind

Once we have encountered our turning points, been swirled around, turned upside down, inside out, and challenged beyond anything we emerge! We learn to leave behind so much human garbage, so much unnecessary drama, so much ridiculous thinking. We leave behind unproductive relationships, we release ourselves from toxic people, toxic life conditions. And we become free to re-create, re-direct, re-explore our lives with an authentic inner awareness of how much more meaningful it has all really been. And we cycle through these zones again and again coming up to new ones through out our entire life journey. This is the journey of soul into human form. This is the core spirituality experience of my life, and yours.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Spiritual Growth…. Everywhere Awareness Is Growing…, core spirituality, my personal journey

Germany, Cologne, Young man holding seedling

Spiritual Growth…. Everywhere Awareness Is Growing…, core spirituality, my personal journey

Awareness, intelligence, consciousness… however you choose to word it, is growing collectively. Our entire world is ever-changing in spectrum’s of equilibrium as we pass through the daily activity of our lives, learning new things. Everyone of us holds our growth in our own hands!

How little or how much we really see that the field of human consciousness is growing constantly all around us depends on the awareness we have inside us to know and to be open. Like water for fish, our field of collective thought is what we live within. And even though it is all around us it actually comes from within us! Not only our human consciousness but also all the different life forms around us add their vibrational, essential experience into the larger whole of which we call our planetary body. All life is in a state of some form of evolutionary growth and development forwards or backwards, however large or small that may be to each species or expression of creation.

If ever one has had a garden to tend, it is no more evident than how everything is growing, growing at different rates, sometimes dormant, yet still alive and still in growth. Changes are a constant. To begin to see how the collective or group consciousness is changing we have only to look into nature and human activity together instead of apart and see how the shifting fluctuations, ever-changing conditions we share are in a state of growth around us. Our human activity reflects our growth as we watch the developments arise each day in our species. The endings and the beginnings are plentiful. On an external basis through the internet and television we can see the monitoring of how human consciousness shifts from day-to-day. Issues arise, new discoveries, new policies, new formulations of groupings, endings, death, decay and transitions are everywhere with much activity surging forward day-to-day on planet earth. Buildings rise and fall, streets are built, life is abuzz. These are all examples of our awareness growing.

How each individual adds to the collective

Every aspect of creation adds its perspective to the universal flow of consciousness and we can learn to observe this inwardly. As the interior sight opens up we can see the astounding flow of consciousness that arises from every living thing. Animate and inanimate both contribute to the universal flow of life here. Seen from a vibratory perspective seemingly separate things are really all interconnected and passing this consciousness along through the myriads of pathways in creation. This place is alive with intelligence that is learning. Nature is learning! People are learning! Animals are learning! And so are the rocks learning and together all these expressions combine to make what we see as our world. Consciousness weaves and flows into and out of itself everywhere. Consciousness is learning through us as us!  The interaction of everything is what makes up the totality of this world. Both seen and unseen. Every single individual is contributing their life essence into the totality here. Shifting outcomes, rearranging them, converting them, and transforming them in some way. The miracle of life is within each individual form of creation, and together in the whole picture of creation.

Discerning the frameworks coming forward for new thought

New paradigms on the planet are emerging!

As awareness grows we develop new words that restructure our languages, new thoughts, new ideas, and whole new paradigms with which to express what we are learning from our growth experiences. Pockets of new information pop up in different places with different people. All over the world we are redefining our world, making corrections, and shifting the outcomes by virtue of our growing experiences. Notice new paradigms are showing up in cultures everywhere!

Resistance to growing and change

While new ideas and new paradigms emerge in some of us, others resist this new awareness and develop their ideas based on their resistance. Resistance has its own learning and serves the collective in its own way, thus nothing is lost or unneeded, everything counts! The collective field of ideas is filled with both positive and negative outcomes. Sometimes resistance and repetition are all dressed up with new clothes providing new perspectives that engage us in new ways to see old things. Other times whole new approaches evolve. Frameworks of new thought are born as new paradigms.

Paradigms emerge as the collective thoughts gain in numbers and momentum along with our agreements. The passions with which we energize these paradigms move them forward and into the world society.

The flow of awareness passing through our humanity on any one day is astounding to view on an energetic level. On this level there is also weight, substance, shape, form, and texture in thoughts arising out of our species. Everyone at some time in their lives has walked into a space and immediately felt something for which their eyes do not register. This is the field of thoughts collecting in the space, and our emotions combined, giving shape on an energetic level, its is common for some people to call it a “vibe”. (vibration ) These collections of thoughts produce climates of feeling, vibrational in nature that we sense. As we learn to process them we find words to name what we are learning.

Structures are growing

So not only are our ideas growing but the structures with which we organize thought, our paradigms are also growing and transforming. We see this in all areas of life from science, to human behavior, culture, business, education, there are unlimited new structures forming in our humanity now. We are discovering how we define life in millions of new ways around us. And as we do life takes on new and different meaning, consequence, direction and outcome.

Developing the awareness that everything is in a state of growth

When we “get” how valuable the awareness that everything is growing becomes an aspect of our perception, how we respond to those things that occur begin to take on new meaning. As we realize how reality is truly moving and not so set into stone we can learn to overcome our own inner struggles, with a place of fluidity and openness that embraces the changes we truly are moving into, and feel we need to make. We can simply join in… join the flow of growth in any way we choose by remaining open. learning how to observe growth patterns, shifting directions. This is the natural over-riding state of the cosmos!

The perspective that I have come to be infused with now … how everything is in a state  of perpetual growth. Thus my own leanings into complete definitions, and final outcomes is halted. Suspending my idea of finally knowing i realize the infinite nature of perpetual growth in everything, everywhere… I have learned to accept how the nature of existence is such that things are always changing because life is growing, and what I may have thought one day as “the final answer” regarding something no longer applies. I stay open and even vigilant toward holding any one idea too fixedly. As i develop the awareness of how consciousness is always growing there is a deepening into the meaning of life, of life events, of relationships, and so on. i pay attention to how my mind wants to grasp at final answers, fixed notions, and limited perception habits.

Formats lead to more formats

As we discover new formats and structures of relating in the world, these lead to more new formats. There is a natural path awareness takes in each of us that illumines our mind to the information necessary to go on. Thus when we can learn to remain open within ourselves we can access new information, or we will just stumble upon new information that fits our current piece of the puzzle. All knowledge is connected and thus encourages itself in us to continually learn and grow. These growth periods can take a long time, be very fast, and then sometimes very slow. Whatever the case, the learning is the point to consider. Once we stumble upon a new format that fits for us, then we are on our way as the most natural action is more of the same momentum into growth.

Releasing thoughts, paradigms, and handling what is uncomfortable

Along the way of encountering new information I have found myself having to release old thoughts, let go of paradigms of reality (whole umbrellas of thinking and belief that over ride knowledge ) and I have learned to handle the uncomfortable feelings and thoughts that go along with this process. I remind myself how meaningful it is to allow my uncomfortable thoughts and feelings in exchange for new ones, and to continue to learn.

The process of releasing thoughts we hold about someone, or the paradigms we have emotionally invested ourselves when we find are no longer feeling as truthful drop away more easily as we go through process and learn to ignite the wonder of discovery and the power of letting go.

Releasing and letting go are absolutely necessary to move forward in many situations.

I have found myself doing all the parts I needed to learn something except the letting go. Whenever this happens I realize that I am still anchored in old beliefs and not as free as I imagine myself to be, and of course this is because of not letting go completely. Letting go in a n appropriate manner that completes a learning curve about something generates a new interior space. Interior inside the mind, inside the heart, inside our bodies.

We have to let go in order to progress, and make room for the new life energies coming in to us via our growth experiences.

Psychic information, spiritual connection, and the openings available to us now

Clearing out the mental thoughts, releasing half-truths, letting go of outgrown personal patterns of any kind open our interior selves so that new information has a place to reside within us without conflict or opposition inside the landscape of the self. This is a marvelous empty place inside that is potent with the energies of what could be, and holds “promise” for continued new awareness to develop.

This opens us to psychic information, and spiritual connection.

I find  myself alerted on a daily basis as new information becomes available. Taking the time to empty out  through the process of self-reflection, inner questioning, increased discernment, and self accountability and releasing my loaded subconscious mind, my physical body, and my suppressed and oppressed emotions. The daily spiritual connection that is possible is quite amazing, and truly full of wonder. Inspiring and informative ,our awareness when allowed to get free has tremendous more energy and creativity for living.Awareness in us as us is intentionally urging us to experience growth! Thus it is possible to learn about the psychic conditions we all have possible within us to know things.Psychic information is not limited in the way we have been programmed to only use our 6 senses. It is as aspect of our nature that is connected naturally to the soul, our cosmic environment, and experiencing this educates us without limits.

Psychic information may not at first make sense to our thinking logical minds, however this information has a feeling of “fitting” with other info we hold and how psychic information fits with the larger pictures of our lives is instrumental in developing progress. As becoming fully into our potentials we learn how to pay attention and then to specifically access for ourselves all the information we need. And we can use this information to assist, uplift, and heal with others. Immense paradigms of understandings reveal themselves to us when we integrate our interior senses via the psychic information that is everywhere and inside us. Breaking through the programming of our socialization, hypnotized, habitual patterns opens this to each of us as everyone is more capable than we have been programmed to see ourselves.

Spectrum’s of new growth …balance and unbalanced

Everywhere awareness is growing, intelligence is growing yet how this happens is not the same for each person. In that there are spectrum’s of growth which occur according to each unique individual, situation, and the conditions we find ourselves. Thus on one side of the world people are not only learning about freedom they are also living more freely, and developing free structures for others. On the other side of the world people are learning the negative aspect of freedom, slavery or something like that. Enslavement, imprisonment, limitation and restriction are also aspects of freedom, only in its opposite expression. Thus we have wide spectrum’s between the two polarities.

As more and more people engage and invest their personal thoughts and beliefs into one aspect of the spectrum that one aspect manifests as reality and will do so until enough others begin the changes. I have found tremendous meaning in learning to respect the various spectrum’s of human expression as they relate to personal and planetary growth. As everyone and everything is in some state of growth. We are all growing. When we open up to this we can see evidence of this all over the world.

God in us is awareness, is consciousness, and as such is growing itself everywhere in the cosmos. As a living vibrant expression seeking its way through every life, every form there is a guarantee that God holds all, leaves nothing behind.

Living in the consciousness of growth aligns our attention in ways that energize us, provide us with energy, fulfill our deepest longings, and teaches us the wisdom of what it means to be alive.

As awareness we are capable of understanding the deepest sorrows, the most hurtful pains, and the most limiting of ideas. This is all because the consciousness that exists in us as us is one magnificent life force connected to everything and everyone. Consciousness is the ultimate “internet” .

Today I am learning to pay attention to growth, and when I don’t see my own , I see it around me and even still I am touched, moved and inspired. We can always tap into and find something that is growing… such is the real nature of life.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self exploration

My Forgotten parts, Recollecting aspects of my soul, core spirituality… my personal journey

My Forgotten parts, Recollecting aspects of my soul,core spirituality… my personal journey

When undergoing the experiences of recollecting parts of our selves that have become out of reach and apart from the potential within us amounts to taking back aspects of our selves involving the heart and all that it has refused to express share and give forth in the world. My heart is designed for loving.

Taking back aspects of our selves involves the mind and all it has refused to admit, to see, to embrace, and to understand, all of which was held outside self. My mind is both fixed and fluid and I need to discover more of it.

The realization that we are much larger, more capable and intrinsically more dimensional than the dumb-ed down versions we have been fed all our lives, the capacity to find answers to mysteries, and the possibility to hold more of our selves inside our physical body is far greater than anyone thought. We are going through this process collectively now.

Where does the power come from?

The soul is more capable as it contains super energies of many many kinds. We are made of that which is of the soul and that being an expression of our source. Our socialization, our educations, our family dynamics, all contain elements of limiting brain washing that stifle the authentic expression of our most real internal selves, or some aspects of our totality. Thus to transcend these limits we need only empty out that which we cling, to become open human beings that can hold a greater vibratory rate of existence. I learned I needed to engage a continual life style of letting go and re-identification as I took on new material. I came to an experience of source both within myself and outside myself that paradoxically revealed to me how tremendous, really the power of soul is.

The common dynamic in the dilemma of physical embodiment is sometimes that we are not expressing all of our true potential. We can live an entire lifetime learning how to fully express ourselves as fully adult human beings. And we can live an entire lifetime controlled by thoughts, emotions, and scripts that are not intrinsically expressing our most genuine self. I saw this in my own past lifetimes as I had many revealed to me so to educate me in this lifetime to the significance of all that I was learnging.

Our physical bodies are over loaded, jammed up with so much mental/emotional baggage that is not genuinely ours and this impedes the inflow of soul qualities. Redefining our minds, releasing emotions, and letting go of histories that are by nature suppressed, oppressive, dominating, over loading, inaccurate, twisted, half truths, and so on all make space inside the light body, and the physical body in such a way so as to make the truly meaningful progress happen inside us. The transformations are basically an inside job for each of us. They do not require external forms of authority to give us permission to achieve nor will they happen by way of external means. This direction is one which naturally arises from within. I realized I was holding the ball so to speak with just about every aspect of myself. I learned that my body contained a history and that I had to relearn what that was and then make new and different choices as to how I would live. Our unconscious histories ( our DNA) is overpowering and defining and until we awaken our inner knowledge of self we are subject to that history. Once I woke up to this I began to shift my entire perspective on choice.

We have lost aspects of our authentic nature which are deep inside the hearts of our souls awaiting our activation’s. These are at first felt as distant longings, and urges for which we have no references. And we have completely unknown aspects beyond that still held in potentials until the time we reach into and past our longings.

When we take on the beliefs of others without our own genuine investigation we overlay into our physicality energetics that influence our biology. We actually direct the switching on and off of different DNA contents by way of our choices. Be they consciously or unconsciously chosen. This is easy to see with identical twins who as they age their DNA changes, although when they started out it was identical. Science has shown this.

Without the personal reflection along with internal investigation we disconnect ourselves from the deeply meaningful and authentic nature of our spiritual being. Our human self can be filled with man-made deductions, dogmas, scientific beliefs, religious dogmas, mental notions, and the resulting emotions not even based on genuine reality, yet agreed by common consent as truth. Wise to remember that common agreement is not necessarily in agreement with universal truth. As we align with these forces we disengage from many important aspects of our true nature that express this universal quality. To the degree that we see and believe ourselves separate, to the degree that one sees they are better than, to the degree that there is exclusiveness in place of inclusive there are elements of our hearts and minds that become shut down or even off.

Soul aspects that we regain through our recollections

Soul aspect that we regain through recollecting our different aspects are the understanding of a much broader perspective, clear thinking, ego deflation that results in the re-positioning of self-identity, intuition, psychic knowledge, interconnection and the ability to communicate with many forms of life. Awareness of how manifestation happens and steps that lead to consequence. Larger memory of our spiritual path, including our previous experiences…. earlier in life, or in other lifetimes. Lives in other dimensions, and on other worlds. We regain the knowledge of our real life history including yet beyond this lifetime. This is quite natural as a result of releasing outdated beliefs, letting go of negative programming, facing and transcending our fears, and releasing feelings that control and inhibit our self expressions. I had to learn to drop many dogmas, and teachings I had picked up in my youth. Those ideas no longer expressed my own internal experiences.

The songs of our hearts, our people’s and our lands

We have within us each a unique song of life, one which has its particular tones, colors, and expressions. We share this song with others and the land we live. We feel good when we experience these songs, this life music. When we choose harmony in our actions and when we face the disharmony to understand and learn we join in with a larger aspect of creation. A larger symphony of interactions takes place that infuses life with joy, understanding, synchronicity. Life itself in its vast expressions literally sings itself outwards.

The joys hidden in our lost selves act as the food for soul which bring spiritual sustenance. Sustaining us in miraculous ways.

Our retrieved joys are a form of spiritual sustenance normal in the soul level dimensions, yet that is also true in this one. We need the sustenance of joy to add to the experiences of being human as this shapes and forms the outcomes and realities we live through. Bringing new tremendous meaning and uplifting qualities that actually will support us in transforming the negative scenarios we must face, pass through and process. Our daily lives are filled with many opportunities with which to test this out. This joy replaces all the negativity when we finally move past our personal challenges with enough force that we comprehend what was not understood, when we release that which is our personal dross, and we upgrade our thinking and belief in alignments with authentic spiritual presence. Joy comes when we empty out, it is the original state and becomes reinstated as the natural state.

How love in any situation helps us to bear the pains we are needing to release.

Most all humans have issues with which we grapple and that need tending, these issues are actually our personal steps unique to each of us that provide our growing directions. Learning to accept these challenges can mean that we encounter painful situations. Bringing love into ourselves can help the entire situation. That love is analgesic is true. Without love … there will be intense pain and difficult suffering that appears not to have meaning or purpose. Bring love in and that all changes. Love as an analgesic always lifts, releases, and transcends us as we make our way thru the difficulties. Loving ourselves and one another through the painful circumstances we bear brings significant depth of purpose that could be lost without it. Love acts as an analgesic with actual pain we feel in our bodies. Scientists have now uncovered how love actually lessens the pains felt in the body. I find this amazing.

Lost meaning in everyday life and the recollection of those meanings

When we live a robotic life in any area of ourselves that area is subject to drab meaninglessness. Living on autopilot we do not access feelings, challenge thoughts, or take actions that are in best interest. Living in a script of how we think things should be, living a script in our minds when we are the only one reading that script (an awful realization I have had to accept about myself at different times in my life), living a script for us that someone made for us… a parent, the family, the church, our society are all places within that we can learn to collect back into ourselves. I have found this adjusts the levels of emotion and outcome significantly in positive ways. Prepare to see the scripts we think we must live, and then prepare to throw them out. I have had been through this many times.

Wisdom reaches us… we do not have to reach for it, the action of recollection will bring forward the perfect environment for wisdom to be born in each of us.

When I choose wisdom as my guide in how to collect back into myself that which is of meaning that intention for making wise choices brings to me new possibilities that were blocked before. The intention to find wisdom brings it. What a revelation! Not taking action unless the criteria for wisdom has been met prevents me from repeating patterns, making mistakes again, and assures my own more deeply satisfying outcomes. There are many signals along the way with which we must learn to discern and understand. There are many kinds of wisdom…. happy wisdom, sad wisdom, crazy wisdom, brilliant wisdom, intuitive wisdom to name a few. Not having these kinds of wisdom show up may be a signal that one is blocking it in some way. Stuck in belief systems that are out of alignment with my true inner nature always blocked me from accessing deep wisdom. The script always took over. And well that is a lesson in itself, I examine my scripts on a regular basis.

Asking for signs, signals, and validation in our lives

I always found comfort in the native American way, and many other indigenous people s and biographies of the saints. When listening to their ideas on learning to observe, ask for, and respond to signs, signals, and how these validate us when we are on the edges of knowing and learning as we move in to our own dark mysteries and unknowing. Signs and signals began to occur for me in remarkable ways literally shocking my system into the new directions. In my experience I thought initially that these things were happening to me, for me, and what a miracle. Eventually I came to recognize all of life is communicating with itself. Signs and signals are a natural ongoing aspect of creation, now I have joined in, instead of holding myself outside of this wondrous component of living. There is not really anything special about me, it is however unique to me and my own participation to life on a larger level. Signs and signals are actually an ongoing aspect of creation. Once I realized that one I made certain to change the old scripts I had been living.

Synchronicity and its meaning as we build our authentic self expressions

Meaningful coincidence where random or even opposing forces join together that speak something that connects internally with us is just so wonderful a way to live life. The more I have dropped my false notions and let go of self-limiting definitions I have felt myself to become more and more authentic. The more authentic the more synchronicity shows up and this encourages more of the same.

Wonder and the ignition of spiritual sight

When we return to wonder in our lives we ignite the spiritual sight inside us. Capable of seeing beyond the surface, and into the essence of meaning in situations we are able to stay connected to the larger picture seeking to unfold. Spiritual sight is not dependent in any way on religious dogma, but more so arises naturally as we learn to be present and just see what is. This take practice to exercise our minds beyond limiting ideas. And to open our wider expression of many feelings and emotions.

Release of obstacles…

Letting go, conquering our fear, releasing judgmental thoughts, throwing away outdated life scripts, and finding humility like never before all lead into and through the release of our personal obstacles. Our egos are highly invested in tremendous amounts of these things and I have learned how the ego aspect of me has had to learn to take a different seat, or perspective when it comes to the finality of the release of obstacles. The joy is transformational. The realization I had about learning has become my turning point in any obstacle as there always appears something for me to learn, without the learning the obstacles persist. What a realization!

Recovery and becoming whole is a journey that is infinite in its true nature

When I write infinite I mean it. I experience the infinite nature of life and the process of becoming whole as I learn. This basically obliterates many life scripts as I have learned how power life really is and that nothing is lost, every effort counts, and the letting go is all worth it.

Reclaiming authentic truth as a way of life

What a theme…. to live in authentic truth, honesty with self, and daily willingness to be open and to learn.

Developing quantum interior resilience and strength that acts as the best bullshit detector on earth.

There is no more powerful truth detector than the cleared out self, connected soul based person. This becomes a powerfully resilient attribute necessary to pass through all the difficult zones with which we must get through. Making an automatic bull shit detector that goes off anytime we need it. Truly amazing.

The idea that living a human life is all about your soul is the reason we investigate the unknown. We live so as to experience and learn. We recollect ourselves while in the physical body. I have learned what body and soul together really feels like, and it is only just beginning.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self reflection

Rate this:

If …YOU …”think” You Cannot Handle the Truth, Think Again…. My Reality Checks are coming in!

core spirituality, my personal journey

The path of awakening for each of us has significant differences yet many universal similarities. In my experiences I do come up on the thought that I cannot handle something, or I hear this from others. This writing describes the inner process within me. The thinking intellect, my emotions… and my inner voice or deep self in dialogue. So I know we all have conversations inside us as this is not so uncommon. In order to really get what my process is on this subject I wanted to put it into writing.

Reality selection is a choice for us all…

Our thinking is filled with programming

I call it programming, this is not what the mainstream calls it.

In the process of conditioning,socialization and education that is prevalent in our societies today. Telling us what to think, how to think, placing limits on thinking, emotional side tracking, emotional suppression along with oppression of many covert forms. Schools, churches, universities, groups of many varieties all teach children from an early age how to view reality in specific ways. This will override the natural instinctive capacities and innate points of view children are born with making certain that each child fits into the specific format of the group they belong to.

Hidden inside reading and math, science and history lessons are infinite variations of subtle programming that inhibit the spiritual nature. This becomes real and evident after one goes through the process of self-reflection, deep inner questioning and discovery, and the release of the effects of our memories, and limiting emotional situations we carry inside us.

These emotionally charged memories are very much like boxes of thought that limit and suppress the innate knowing within a child. As adults we have the greater free will and possibility to discover our true nature through the choices we make that push us beyond our original experiences and unveil the innate spirituality of a human being.

In my journey of self-reflection the most significant redefinition I arrived within myself was that I was not a human being having a spiritual experience as I had been programmed to believe, rather I discovered I am  actually a spiritual being having a human one.

The opposite of all the years of teachings I had received in my development as a person. The paradigm shift inherent in this is remarkable in that everything takes on a completely different and significant meaning or purpose. And I had to drop whatever did not fit into that category of meaningful purpose. In other words most of the reality boxes I had been raised to believe were not based in truth. Letting go of these older versions of reality resulted in my development of having a larger capacity to perceive reality from “outside the box” so to speak.

Or in other words outside the limitations of programming I had been subliminally indoctrinated.

Repeaters

While I realized that well meaning adults were passing information along to me, I recognized the action of repeating in their words. People who learn to repeat information as they were taught. Most often these individuals were shown to be the best at their subjects, and always receive high marks, and accolades. To my astonishment I was at an early age, able to discern true learning vs. repeating, and to feel the significance in authentic discovery outside the patterns of thinking inherent in repeaters. I would say this began to occur to me in my early 20’s!

For example a paradigm shift I learned when I moved to Hawaii was how the oceans really connect all the land masses. Making it possible to travel and connect. Where as in my youth I learned how the oceans separated the world. It is a subtle shift in thinking yet powerful. Separation consciousness versus connection. I have found many such ways of perceiving the world that I learned all based in separation consciousness that are not even true, I have found connection in every aspect of life since getting out of that box of thinking. Shifting my awareness and myself in ways that brought great connection to life. Our experiences, our choices when understood as all connected with meaning take on a completely different reality with this in mind.

Learn to do my reality checks

Reality checks can be cashed in any time! They pay off really well and add to our sense of life in ways that carry us through time in amazing new ways. For much of this world is not really what it is represented to be. We are still a young species at the lower rungs of the universe. Our ideas are filled with inaccuracies and misunderstandings about how life is actually governed, manifested, and is lived. So doing reality checks will most often occur whenever there is a feeling of discomfort about something. Especially when there are no words to match the feeling, yet it still exists in the gut. I have this experience often. My first reaction is to question reality, question the voice of authority that is either speaking to me outwardly or the inner voice in my mind that “thinks” it is THE authority on any idea or subject. I cultivate an open mind, and I question until I find an answer that fits and replaces my discomfort with a sense of good, or right feeling. This is perfect for those times when we think we cannot handle something. For the truth is we can though there will be some shift to do so. Shift in our version or belief in what the reality presenting itself really is.

Questions you might ask yourself

Secrets and the nature of controls

That our present day is filled with astounding and horrific revelations of secrets held by mankind for generations is startling and sobering to say the least. Many dark secrets are getting released about every aspect of our lives through the internet, the media. Within us we are also finding revelation on a mass collective level in people from all walks of life, no matter the education, social standing, religious belief, upbringing, or culture. Revelations are everywhere in all sciences, history, math, physics, and so on. One need only pursue truth beyond the limits of media, and university education to find new thought being taught by people outside the box of accepted thinking. These individuals are stepping forward with deep, complex and riveting new approaches to understanding reality.

The revelations of abuse of power on this planet that are being revealed through the banksters, the military of the world, politicians, scientists, and historians are gob smacking. The degree of covert control, covert agendas, covert operations, covert policies, covert behaviors in these people now getting out will surely shift our world paradigm in fascinating new ways.

As now we are beginning to realize how we have been lead to believe so many things that are not actually honest or true and to give away our sovereignty along the way will shatter much of what has existed for generations on this planet.

Revelations are natural

the natural state of all beings is revelation. Revelation arises as a consequence of learning beyond the moment in any situation. We have been programmed so completely we have forgotten what a natural process this is in a healthy well lived lifetime. Robotic, habit-ized, and submissive the human will has been subverted away from the delights of revelation. So deeply valuable is this to our experience even after centuries of generational programming individuals are breaking through the dogmas of every sector of our known reality at this time. Making those in power and control very nervous and more afraid. Yet we cannot stop this because revelation is natural to who and what we are as spiritual beings having a human experience.

The dark truth, the light truth of your life

when I can’t handle it anymore I am up against the dark truth of my life. The dark truth is the awareness of all that which is reversed, or opposite the light truth. The revealing to ourselves of dark truth requires a powerful will to see beyond these illusions we have been so deeply emotionally invested. To accept how something so intrinsic to us is not true takes courage to process. It is a signal of our growth and maturation as spiritual beings when we can allow the deconstruction of our beliefs, notions and ideas of reality once shown not to be valid.

In my experience whenever this happens the light truth moves in and replaces the dark.

This is quite amazing as the feelings that arise in the discovery of greater truth energize and redirect our attention in completely fascinating new ways. Opening possibilities that were totally blocked while I was under the limiting beliefs of the previous dark programming. I feel a sense of internal accountability with myself to push my way through my own fears that I cannot handle the truth in any situation.

So we move back and forth on the game board of life discovering both our dark truths and our light truths finding new resources for powering up our previous states of victimization, powering up our defeated powerless selves. The deflation of ego states that goes along with this process can feel even depressing, and sad, and awful. Yet the light truth that we are then more capable to hold because we let go those limiting ego states of consciousness eventually lifts us up and frees us from the process that is so uncomfortable.

Each of us has a turning point from which there is no return

Whenever we begin to move past our “i cant handle it” moments there arises significant places of no return that require a deeper acceptance. As our consciousness adjusts to changing perceptions and feelings we do find that we can no longer go back. This happens in such a profound way that with each new discovery we transform.

Our transformations lead us to transcendent new places that take us into whole new arenas of living. I experienced this on all levels. Eating and diet, emotional states of profound suffering have lifted, immense unhappiness is replaced with a ridiculous kind of amazing joy, beliefs I once held no longer feel right and drop. People, events, and situations that once triggered powerful negative emotions are gone. What I choose to focus in life shifted from survival to thrive, from disharmony to harmony, from lack to abundance, from not getting my needs met on a daily basis to meeting my needs abundantly so that I overflow for others. This is how the process of moving through and beyond our “i cant handle it” states of being in paralysis and withholding just turn all the way around.

The transformation of the human condition in each of us

Our personal transformations are the human condition for which all these life experiences unfold and have meaning. We embody physicality and take on each lifetime in our efforts to transform and transcend ourselves while discovering the unlimited nature of existence. Every event that each of us tackles adds to the larger context of our humanity. And eventually we reach quantum levels of transformation that make it easier for those yet to make it go forward successfully. We improve our reality by way of these actions.

The planetary transformation of life as we know it

As the numbers of people transforming their life situations grows we begin to see massive new levels of behavior and activity that redefine life as we have known it, and believed it to be. This is what is happening now all over the world. Dark forces are revealed and breaking down, light forces are coming forward to heal and redesign our life stories.

Reclaiming your self as a sovereign being

To realize new states of sovereignty is how we liberate our humanity. One person at a time, one group at a time, one nation at a time, one world at a time.

Noticing when we are submitting to thoughts of self oppression, sabotage, and the diminishing of our potential are the start of this liberation as we notice the dark truths we have subscribed our lives. This being merely the early stage of awakening and the start of whole new possibilities.

Connecting in with the larger paradigms emerging today we learn to take in accountability and responsibility for our human lives, charting new directions and learning to be happier, healthier, and deeply spiritual.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self reflections

Permission to let go… core spirituality, my personal journey

Permission to let go… core spirituality, my personal journey

Moving on, progress, release, freedom … all arise from a simply action of permission.

Permission to let go does not have to come from outside us. This is an inner choice and the momentum this creates runs the spectrum from crazy to liberating. Fears jump into our minds as we approach the boarders inside our minds of permission in ways that will stagger the decision, giving us clear possibility to deeply consider our next steps. Other times we must make rapid decisions on the fly which propel us into the unknowns. Practicing the art of giving myself permission to let go becomes an act of creative selection and evolving experience. We get better at self permission the more we access our choices and release ourselves from the grips of our own thinking, our own emotions, our own tired out beliefs. Times arise when the momentum that sets us up for change start arriving in our lives and we become increasingly more uncomfortable with the way things are. Situations arise that once invited us in and now propel us away. People become uninteresting and we no longer want to associate. Out stomachs turn and we must go the distance and make way for the new in our lives.

Know enough about self to make the meaningful decisions that will enact letting go

When we commit to knowing ourselves by paying attention to our thoughts,feelings, emotions, body messages, signs, sychronicities, and patterns we can foresee how meaningful letting go will take us beyond our current situations and propel us into unknowns for which everything up to this point have prepared us. The better we know self, the less guessing and the more concrete our choices develop into accessing new information which lead us through our mysterious questions.

How taking care of our personal interiors open the possibilities

Self care is the base line for all possibility to arise. Nurturing self acceptance and physical habits of healthy well-being generate equilibrium while the other aspects of our personalities undergo the stronger deconstruction, redirection, and new momentum that take shape from permission to let go. Always the good baseline for change is self-love, self-care, and the integrity of our attention inwardly to the process that is unfolding. Appearing as selfishness, at this time of letting go we must take those steps only we can take. Thus to those around us we may appear selfish, and this may be true. It is a time to take one’s self into deeper reflection and meaning and allow this self-absorption, or selfishness to occur. In our single-ness of decision-making we learn to sustain our choices through our own means and we liberate that which needs be.
What we choose to invest our emotional energies into and how this shapes our reality

Though it is rarely taught, it is a realization returning to many now on our planet. What we choose to invest our emotional energies into shapes our reality. We are not simply victims of circumstance, we are experiencing the results of our unique personal investments in our thoughts, feelings, etc. as we believe ourselves to be. The realization that we, I, not someone else is responsible for my life is both unnerving and liberating. The liberation of self through responsible emotional self acceptance is paramount to our moving forward through any difficult situation. Things do not change, people do. For my world to change I must make that change from within. We stop looking outside ourselves for people who can make us feel better, save us, give us what we want, and we do this for our self. This is a paradigm change that has very large consequence in the moment, and for the unfolding future of the next decisions we will make. To be able to untangle our minds from the seriously crazy programming of socialization, and outer authority to an interior place is at first mind-blowing. However so that may be as we see reality transform all around us in our personal lives it is strengthened and multiplied and anchored. Every day is a new day. Anything new could occur. Lets just see what happens as we engage self-knowledge. Self permission and self-responsibility. All three of the anchors to assure changes in appropriate ways. Because this is a learning we do make mistakes along the way, yet we learn to make corrections and navigate through the mistakes and take them as jewels of learning that bring to us knowledge and add to our experience of life.

Giving ourselves permission to move forward and let go while accepting those who do not

one of the most agonizing aspects of giving myself permission to let go and move on has always been not everyone comes with me. So I have learned not only to accept my need and impetus to move on, I also have to accept that those I love or care for cannot or will not join me. Lovingly accepting this for others will make everything more easy for everyone. Often much later down the path, these people have rejoined me when they themselves have caught up to the momentum that was inherent in the changes. Then sometimes they do not and they become more distant, either way acceptance is mandatory.

The paradox of healing ourselves and the amazing outcomes this bring to our life choices

That we make painful decisions that heal our lives is a paradox. The healing is needed yet is painfully reached. Our life choices develop in such a way that we learn to accept pain in this way as a friend going along with us on the ride. It cannot be avoided. The pain is crucial to the whole process as old ways break down, old relationships fall away, and we are left to our own new life choices. In time these painful choices drive us to our meaningful life outcomes which amaze and astound us. In our previous mental habits, beliefs, we could not hold for a minute what now arises. The unending nature of life is astounding as the possibilities unfold and we engage totally new energetics into the circumstances of our lives. It all becomes worth it and the purpose of paradox becomes understood.

Painful memories, grudges, emotional wounds, misunderstandings and why we need to let go

All such negativity tie us to history without freeing us from the now moments of our lives. The negative history we each inherit must be lived through and surpassed as a vehicle of our own self-development. We become strengthened and aware as we face, process and resolve our own side of any negative situation we carry within our self. The loaded physical form, our physical body is overwhelmed with the energetics of the negatives and our alive-ness is compromised when we carry around negative scenarios inside us. Not only that but the energy it takes to hold it in, suppress it, and maintain it is staggeringly unbalancing. The more we hold on, the worse it gets. Sometimes resulting in sickness and even death of the physical. Many of us die ourselves out of this world because we would not let go, would not release ourselves from our own negativity. The amount of this I have personally experienced with people in my practice of massage and bodywork for over 3 decades is truly staggering. I know this to be the case for many individuals.

Shifting the forces of our lives, breaking habits that no longer serve us, or serve our world.

The pain, discomfort, and disharmony signals all point us to our own personal shift, which is also our planetary shift, which is also our species shift. Now underway and gaining momentum in the collective experience of our humanity. Everywhere we look, listen, and arrive to we can find this shift unfolding before our very eyes and ears. The patterns that I will call habits have been in our DNA for generations. Our families are filled with this stuff, and a lot of us are increasingly more uncomfortable with it all. I myself have chosen to do the work, and learn to understand what these forces are that need my attention. Through therapy, emotional release, bodywork, exercise, re-education and a personal commitment to give myself permission to let go I continue to align myself with the greater unfolding now which is wreaking havoc all over the world. Letting old habits die that no longer serve me, or this world.

The world changes when we change

The world changes when we change could not be truer. Until one has tested this one the depth of this will pass you over. And then when you realize that for your world to change you must make the change and you permit yourself to go through with the things you need to do. Reality does shift. It shifts the more we permit ourselves to let go. If my world is not changing enough, I take a cue. I keep deepening into my ability to let go and make that change.

Losing what is meaningful, and rebuilding new directions

Yes we do lose what has been meaningful to each of us when we let go. We lose relationships, finances, and all manner of life circumstances. As we continue we learn we rebuild new meaningful relationships, new ways to finance ourselves, and many other new circumstances develop. We do also carry within us the valuable essences of all our experiences even though we no longer experience them. I know this from my practice of hypnotherapy, my own soul retrieval experiences. Nothing… I mean nothing is ever truly lost that has been our experience. Everything… every single second of life is inside us as us contributing to our personal journey. All of our personal experiences actually go into a larger collective which is Source. Source as itself, in us, is discovering itself through every one of us. The entire nature of existence is growing everywhere through us, around us, and beyond us. Truly amazing to see, feel, and recognize this universal truth about life. Nothing ever is truly lost. Ever!

Grace and the healing of our human history

Grace has many definitions depending on your particular belief. In this case I will refer to the transcendent nature of non ordinary reality. A place of connection much larger than a single human mind can contain, a place with such knowledge and wisdom. This wisdom is also beyond the human mind as it unfolds through synchronicity and the direction of meaning in our lives. This grace is enacted as we meet our most powerfully difficult, and painful life scenarios. I have experienced this many times in my life and have felt a sense of pure divinity, lightness of being, and transcendent personal space beyond words. It is definitely non ordinary reality. It is real, and it is unending. I bring this up now because we are reaching the quantum moments of our human history where the themes of many generations of humans is coming to a point of pure no return. We are on the precipice of life experiences that transcend generations of our ancestors. We are beginning to experience the horrific and startling new consciousness of regaining our spiritual sovereignty. New powerful souls are incarnating with astounding capabilities…. we can and we are truly surpassing all our known knowledge heading into the great mysteries of life. We are starting to connect physicality with spirituality in the most authentic forms of expression and much healing is coming in to us now

The challenges of resistance and how this is meaningful

Resistance is one of my specialties as a therapist, I love this quality. I have the inherent perspective that resistance is simply permission to process. It is a way we are slowed down when we are getting too high off the changes we are experiencing. Resistance staggers the time line, staggers our minds so that we can more fully engage our senses in ways that bring to us the information we need to make the shift possible. Without set backs, and our own personal resistance to change we might endanger ourselves or others. Make unnecessary mistakes, and complicate the situation.

Respect resistance is my motto and learn to see what it is all about. Our resistance carries tremendous info just under the surface of our awareness that needs to be addressed in order to successfully move forward. Resistance in others needs to be honored. We do not all move forward simultaneously as we wish we could. We all move according to some amazing timing unique to each of us. Read that last sentence again, it is truly a jewel to hold.

Staying engaged, cultivating connection, and forging the new directions and letting self sleep.

When learning to let go it is paramount to stay engaged and not lose it all. Staying engaged within and around us is how we stay grounded through immense changes. Sleep occurs as a way to allow the body physical, and the energetic bodies to re-calibrate new points of grounded-ness inside us, and around us in the environment. The actual work of the soul that takes place inside a human is likened to the metamorphosis in a butterfly. There are many new arrangements, new connections to make, new coordinates to be put into place that all take time in this dimension. Staying engaged either by cultivating connection and forging new directions as well as sleep time is paramount to the entire process.

Commitment to self

The redevelopment of new and different ways in which we commit to self is a direct outcome of letting go. Not losing self. Not abandoning our self. Not denying our self, not ignoring our self. But true deeper more meaningful redefining of self is what happens. This can be quite striking to those who have known us up to this point, so letting go of what others think of us at this point is helpful. No one can actually embrace the process of self commitment that happens like each one of us can with ourselves, this commitment grows from within. In time others learn. Patience here is truly a virtue.

Realizations that arise as we heal

When we let go we heal components of our human self inside us. This healing provides new frameworks on many different levels of our personality. As the new energetics of healing engage we will find that new realizations start to happen. The realizations that occur do so because in the healing we make room for that which we withheld in our previous states of consciousness. Our minds are opened in new ways on new levels. We become more capable of translating our individual soul messages, signs, and possibilities. Our perceptions take on wholeness. Whole minded awareness can process huge amounts of new information from design levels. When we start to get the “designs” our souls are offering us we will experience new realizations which not only become solutions for us, they also contribute to our joyful nature as never before. Learning to write down, or draw, or share our realizations is fascinating and fun. Engaging us beyond conflict and returning us to new levels of personal and universal harmony. When we recognize the designs unfolding in us, all around us and begin to see and feel how we are a dynamic part of the cosmos our lives take on such wonderful new meaning.

Joining the mass human family in taking care of business

Letting go by using one’s conscious choice instead of being forced by way of painful circumstance because we have learned the wisdom of it is significant. While many upon within the human family struggle in agonizing ways as these changes come through our planet we can simply choose to join in. this makes our process a bit less uncomfortable and even joyful. As we cry out our tears, and say our good bye’s to our old ways we can laugh right on down the road of life. We recognize how and why we are here. We are uplifting the entire species. One by one. We are engaged in a historical event of such proportion that even the animals are anticipating what comes next. When we take care of what bothers us, what pains us, we are taking care of our human business.

Make a list

I like to make regular lists of changes so I do not forget those moments of clarity as I go about my busy days. I want to stay on track. I want to feed my need for changes. I want to stay engaged. I need to remember what I forget. I make my lists.

Find new interior resources

When we embrace connection and stay engaged we automatically find new resources. It is amazing to me how the universe works. Not only do we find new resources but they find us. You know you are on the right path when this happens because it is so completely astounding. I have looked back at my life and thought how could I have ever stayed so disconnected? This is so much more fun. I absolutely love, love, love how the universal intelligence works all through our lives informing us with new information and possibility.

Discover new aspects of who we are

Only after we let go do we get the new answers. All to often I have lingered before I made a change wanting myself to know before I actually did my work. Wishing for new solutions, new answers to appear and they did not. Finally out of frustration and endless suffering did I finally let go. And not until then did the new info arrive. We must do our individual work on change. And once we do we get the prize… we discover the new aspects of our souls. New talents, new identities and new directions that bring to us experiences that genuinely fulfill us.

The final thoughts on letting go.

My final thought to myself here on letting go is … go for it.

I choose to gain the wisdom awaiting me as I let go my hardened clutches of reality and join the mysterious unknowns of taking new steps. Core spirituality is the expression of our unique and personal truth as each of us. Unique and universal and right in the middle of paradox. Core spirituality is not limited by religious dogma, nor is it directed by politicians, bankers, or any outside authority. I accept my own personal experience as validating and I learn to engage my experiences as my own spiritual path. Just one tiny human amongst billions.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

The Momentum Behind Collective Thought…core spirituality, my personal journey

The Momentum Behind Collective Thought… Directions of humanity…. core spirituality,my personal journey

The momentum behind human collective thought is you and me.

Each singular expression of each person generating their own thoughts is the momentum behind our larger landscape of existence.

What collective thought is

Collective thought is my thoughts and yours and all other people’s thoughts arising together moment by moment in the field of the human reality. Added all together our thoughts join, clash, or move around in a massive field of subtle electrical energy shaping our day-to-day existence.

One human thought multiplied by all other thoughts in resonant harmony or similarity cause tremendous activity which creates a shared reality that we see and experience all around us, resulting in positive or negative outcomes depending on ideas we infuse with our emotions, our minds, and our actions.

These collective agreements and disagreements fill the planetary field of human activity, the environment, and the surrounding space in and around our solar system. This is all reflected back to us when we look into the electronic / technological group mind we share through our internet and media outlets. In case you were not seeing this clearly it does show us what we are all thinking about.

That we are creating reality individually and as group resulting in the world scenarios we witness around us is staggering to embrace, however true it is. This is how powerful our thoughts can become. We do not even know this on a mass level… yet.

We have many singular thoughts ( ideas) that are developing and growing ever stronger each day in size and changing the world in which we live. For example let us look into our notions about the issues of abuse.

Our thoughts on abuse are transforming everyday through out our lives.

For example all the awareness of abuse in human relationships that has existed for thousands of years is now being named, understood, and processed in-depth now and this is shifting the moral climate of humanity as new programs for further developing awareness and assisting victims of abuse and neglect are being created all around us. As well as forming new agreements for which we are now holding ourselves accountable through new and different legislation all over the world. New laws are made and this shifts and reforms our global society.

The climate of abuse while still horrific, is very different now, say from the 1950’s when we had much less conscious thinking about the effects of abuse we are perpetrating upon one another.  This has a significant  and dramatic effect on future generations as each new wave of collective realization redirects the outcomes of abusive human activity. Making, for example, it no longer morally or socially acceptable to perpetrate abuse in any way. All manner of local, national, and global society is reshaped toward more meaningful interaction with clarity regarding the painful outcomes of our abuses perpetrated upon each other.

This has directly affected children, women, people of color, people who are different from the larger groups ( gay, lesbian, transgendered, whole nations, entire populations for example) and protection for these individuals manifests where it did not exist not so long ago. This is the power of a thought multiplied on a collective level  reaching into the live of billions of human beings.

The decisions we make eventually  join together… discernment

The decisions we make based on our thinking join together to create powerful realities that may or may not be in accord with the larger spiritual reality of life. Mankind has held certain notions of the larger reality of existence for many generations and these ideas are being challenged with the growing new ideas being born in us as a result of our experiences. That our ideas actually are in accord with the larger spectrum of universal spirituality is still a reality we have much to learn. We do not always hold this larger perspective in our thinking. However that may be we learn from these thoughts and make corrections as we go and for this reason what you think is meaningful, and important.

The electronic mind, technologies, medias and the internet.

The electronic mind is filled with messages that seek to shape reality, versions of it that not always align with the greater good of everyone. This is why and how media and internet is used today to promote thought amongst our species. So that certain outcomes are developed and shaped so that specific actions will take place. People in “power”… those with money, religious influences, political agendas. military might.   This is a multi trillion dollar industry that is influencing the electric mind, or media/technological aspect of life through the internet, television etc..by filling it with ideas for their specific purposes and design.

Discernment at this point is an absolute quality with which to act upon as we learn the source and purpose of those thoughts that are being repeated incessantly and that are perpetrated as truth, as reality all around us. ( we have to live in fear… the world is totally dangerous, we have to fight everything to succeed and win)  We have a choice here. The momentum behind our choices is developing rapidly now as billions of individuals are seeing corruption, greed, abuse, conflict, war, economic hijacking our resources, and many other areas of human society that are filled with contamination and toxic outcomes for the majority of us living here on the planet.

Evolution requires revolution

I suspect we are on the wave of a collective revolution within our entire human population reaching entirely around the earth at this time. The power of individual thought is gaining momentum and is just beginning to resist all the larger forces of negative, disharmonious, abuse that have been in control for generations in all societies on larger, more massive human levels.

There is a quiet revolution taking shape amongst us now.

In all our Peoples, in every nation, and walk of life.

How do we move forward ? Learning to become more thoughtful about our choices and developing healthy levels of discernment. We move forward with the relentless growth of all our thoughts as we take action and learn the results we discover. We move forward by living from our thoughts in ways that we deem just, humane, and inclusive while still other forces in the minority insist on the opposite. There is a minority of powerful negative thinking people running huge banking systems, gigantic military operations, massive covert political agendas, and many dark religious thinking people believing in rigid dogmas all over the world in all our communities. By accessing media, influencing law making, economics/banking, and many other facets of society this minority number is seeking to exert its control harder and harder with more fear, fear mongering, and fear based agendas like never before. We become conscious and aware that each of our thoughts matter in every single life and every single person when we recognize the lack of love in these thoughts and actions generated by individuals seeking power over others. It is final attempt to exert control even though the collective mind of humanity has already decided we do not want this any longer!

Why is this? Because their time is running out.

The momentum behind our collective thought has already begun to decide that we do not want this any longer.  The regular exposing of , and releasing of secrets, and the unending revelations that result are the forces of this momentum within us . And forces for collective good, forces that expose the underbelly of darkened thinking that control and enslave humans is starting to take hold in the masses of human beings seeking to restore personal sovereignty, personal creativity, and harmonious interaction within the larger spectrum of differences we share. Infighting is no longer going to be acceptable as we prefer to work out our problems without violence, without power mongering, and without deceptive forces of control. We are learning how to let go of our judgmental old style thinking for more liberating happy possibilities that everyone may share. We are just beginning to witness the effects of this all over our beloved planet.

The wave of the future is shaped by these things

This wave of momentum arising in the bosom of our human experience is the power of our thoughts to shape our future and the world for future generations. All manner of human activity is growing in this direction as people in the arts, education, in industry, in medicine, in governments, and many many other areas of life are working on new ideas to generate better living conditions for us all. We are learning how we must include the wisdom of our hearts in our daily lives and make the changes we feel we need to make. Speak to the truth of our lives, and honor what it is that is awakening inside each of us.

A paradoxical thought to hold is the truth that the future is now… how we create reality. This is how our “now moments” are shaping our “future”! We cannot ignore the present moment without consequence to all our lives, the environment, all the animals and life herself in us all.

Humanity as a whole, instead of separate parts.

How we are learning to see ourselves collectively all together is rapidly changing, as we learn to see ourselves made of many yet one whole….  a human species. Just on the tip of this thought we are starting to redirect all manner of outcomes with this in mind.

As we let down our defenses, and relax into our more heartfelt decisions about life we learn to see in new ways. One must cultivate an awareness of this and begin to pay attention to what is not reported on the news. One must seek out these new possibilities and learn to recognize how people are finding new possibilities through new groups and programs that recognize our oneness.

Our mutuality, with differences.

As a person begins to take away the hardened, painful, and limiting beliefs that create separatist thinking it becomes easier to see what is shaping up in the momentum of our collective thought. I have personally researched many significant caring individuals and groups all moving in this direction all over the world despite the horrible circumstances they may be surrounded by in their particular societies.

Standing to power

Using our  voices to face and stand to power forces with dissent. Using our  voices to educate others still sleeping in the fog of victimization. Using our voices to stand up and be heard at great consequence and personal sacrifice. We as  individuals become the beacons of light igniting the darkened forces… where there are collective groups of followers  of suffering, and oppressed voices all over the world  ripe for changes.

Sleepers, repeaters, and awaken-ers, and those who forge ahead

People still living in belief systems of oppression through their respective out dated religious dogmas, people struggling to get the rent paid, food on the table. People struggling with addictions born of their hardships and hopeless life scenarios, people ingrained in massive personal denial, people who submit and follow rather than think for themselves because they have been trained, socialized and hypnotized to stay afraid, hold onto anxiety and suffer through life and live in constant states of unconscious fear. People who just repeat whatever they are told without questioning authority have all yet to feel the true lightness of personal freedom from these darkened old forces. We have people who are moving forward, and forging new possibilities through peaceful dissent, peaceful thinking, and open-mindedness in just about every walk of human life today everywhere. we learn to resolve our own personal conflicts and in so doing contribute to the collective human experience making it easier for the next person to “catch on”.

Solutions are everywhere

Solutions are everywhere, but most importantly inside each of us.

Solutions arise within us as we free ourselves of the limitations of the collective agreements to suffer, to submit, to be oppressed in any way. When one person chooses to stop this in any way in his or her life, they are opening up the collective field. Not simply for themselves, they do this for the next person. We ping-pong off one another everyday, and through our relationships we activate one another for good or for bad, for positive or for negative. Depending on our own individual thoughts! Happiness is universally taught by all core religions, felt by all regardless of religious belief, and is needed by our world. Our world needs individuals to be happy in the face of all that is going on around us so that we can transcend the limitations of our unhappy states of thinking. Unhappy thinking that we have been programmed to hold as normal. Happiness is one of the most powerful forces human beings have within us to confront evil, oppression, and suffering. We need to make ourselves happy by realizing solutions are not just everywhere, they are inside us waiting to be released.

Choosing to take care of anxiety, unknowns, and learning to love the mystery of living become the first stages of personal and planetary transformation and global transition out of misery.  Our happiness and joy are paramount to overcoming whatever holds us back or threatens our innate human dignity and freedom.

When one of us consciously chooses to take care of that which bothers us, to hold our anxiety in new ways. Learning to give ourselves permission to live for positive growth and solutions that matter,

When just one of us moves into the positive choices still contained in our personal unknowns, we cause a shift in the collective mind. When one of us learns that life by it’s very nature holds mystery, and this mystery is how we awaken to our deepest, most meaningful life solutions and creative expressions, we make it easier for the next person. Courage is ignited and a new step becomes possible.

This is how collective thought is born and shapes our shared life journey together on this planet.

It is a scary, marvelous, wild, ride to live here and take part in the energizing choices available to each one of us. To recognize the darkness around us and inside us and choose to lighten up. To make new steps, and to give ourselves permission to grow in new ways, fashion new directions, and embrace changes all together.

There is one mystery that truly is not a mystery, it is simply a realization. That is that the momentum behind our collective thought is not some huge unknowable force, not at all., not some great mystery.

The momentum is you and me,

each one of us.

Taking care to watch our thoughts one day at a time.

One thought at a time.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self exploration

Taking a Fresh Look into the Family ( Ohana) Dynamics that Trigger us… A Soul Perspective….core spirituality, my personal journey

Taking a Fresh Look into the Family ( Ohana) Dynamics that Trigger us…A Soul Perspective….core spirituality, my personal journey

When I did not or refused to love, I learned to love anyway.

When I was hardened, I softened and came to understand more than before.

When I felt stubborn I yielded and learned to be more open.

When I was too soft, I became strong, and in so doing became more capable.

I was lazy, and became disciplined… the painful inertia of my non action forced me to take action. I learned how valuable it is to understand stagnation, and the power of moving. People triggered me to get my butt moving, I did not like it, and I learned to get the message.

When I was victimized particularly as a child, I later healed my emotions, learned to think in new and different ways, and turned my own self around to become victorious. Releasing my holding on to my past and freeing my now moment, finding my true sovereignty. I learned the value of my own inner child voice and I listened. I sought help for myself and in so doing learned respect for the voice of the child.

Any child.

When I was afraid, I learned courage and thus changed the entire course of my life.

When I spoke hurtful words, or they were spoken to me, I have learned to take account of my own subjective experience and understand how my own internal self is effected. In this action of self-reflection I have learned to reflect. I have learned to become objective, and I have learned to redirect my own sense of hurt in a way that has shown me how I can be, and how others are as their words are a reflection of them, not specifically of me. I have learned to stop the patterns of self hurt through the words of others when I can, and accept how it is others show themselves. Dropping judgmental projections for clear discernment. This discernment has become an ongoing trait with less problematic outcomes in all my relationships. My world shifted when I claimed accountability for my emotions and feelings and stopped blaming others for HOW I FEEL.

When I hurt I looked within, took back my own power of self, and learned to be accountable for my own life in ways which removed me from patterns of hurt and replaced those with profound new awareness which showed me I can move on, thrive, and not incur the same to someone else. I refuse to perpetrate cycles of hurt, for myself and for others. No matter what.

When I was saddened I learned to accept my emotions so completely I went all the way to the bottom of that sadness and I sought healing, and in so doing the sadness showed me the value of endings that lead to new beginnings. And generated for me the awareness of how cycles exist all over the universe.

When I felt betrayal I took issue with myself instead of the other, and learned to find power in letting go, finding new directions, releasing people who do this to others, and freed myself from ever having this happen again. I learned acceptance for “what is”, and in so doing moved on. Acceptance of “what is” cannot be underscored more. Learning to accept what others show us about themselves is a primary skill in relationships. Honoring my own feelings, is equally as primary.

************************************************************************************************

Some of my own personal triggers. These are but a few trigger scenarios I have been through in my own family, and how they each became powerful developmental stages in my personal evolution. Beginning early in childhood, under the roof of an abusive family situation, full of alcoholism, co dependency, and some basic neglect. I learned how to take myself seriously, when no one else would, and to take responsibility, when no one around me would, and to redirect my life as I would have it, because the pain and difficulty was not a choice I wanted to live through. The fury of alcoholism, combined with quilt ridden religious teaching, and the lack of getting my own emotional needs met as a child all changed as I became a teen and found my own will to move on beyond all these many life situations.

We all have personal challenges hidden in issues that arise in families today

I finally learned that issues I experience, regardless of who triggers them are for me to process and that any issue I find carries a significant personal challenge for me to resolve. leading me to  release the controls, manipulations, and any other scenarios from other people, and with gratitude… I do my own inner work. People trigger us for many reasons, the primary one is our soul growth, and not just to hurt us, bug us, irritate us and drive us crazy.

Is it is valuable to note that I have understood the issues that arise for me in my family are the perfect issues for me personally to grow from as a spiritual being. Contrasting this with the common idea that people who dump problems belong to everyone else and I am simply a causal victim, or recipient of the actions of others. This is hardly the case, once we become awakened from the soul aspect of who and what we are. The shift occurs that these incidents are part of a larger design for which I am present here to process, learn, and grow.

Issues of every kind show up in family dynamics. Our people will trigger us. Those closest to us will push our buttons. Our closeness will cause us to get irritated, upset, and angry. Our losses will hurt, and hurt deeply. Our talents, skills, and potentials will be challenged, exploited, neglected, and all manner of triggering. Power, love, misunderstanding,cruelty, abuse on every level. Abundance, materialism, artistic expression, and history.

Today life style challenges many… religious paths, sexuality, gender, politics.

Issues are areas of concentrated emotional, intellectual, artistic, physical, mental situations yet to be explored fully which contain experiences that will teach the indwelling spirit of a person something for which they have chosen to incarnate into this physical world. Issues by nature are unlimited in the earth experience, can be highly charged, totally challenging and either build up or completely tear down existing belief systems, erroneous ego notions, and shift us on all levels of ourselves all over the map of creation.

What is a trigger?

Everyone starts as a child, and as that child may encounter emotional/mental situations for which they do not have the capacity to process. Once adulthood sets in anything resembling those unprocessed emotions can trigger us. Paralyzing us for an hour or even the whole day. We become susceptible in these situations because of our own unmet need to process, understand, and integrate those aspects of emotional intelligence into our selves. Not just because someone has done something to us.

In my experience we also as soul self, choose family situations where we can see specific triggers will likely happen that are precisely what we need in our own evolutionary growth as spiritual beings having a human experience. In my own case I have remembered patterns of emotions that were so complex that one lifetime alone was not enough to fulfill the necessary experience to bring full understanding to me. Thus incarnating into life to continue themes for which I have spiritual purpose to explore so I could come to a full realization of what these emotions truly are . Often this has happened with the same people over and over, as we switch places and play our roles from every side of the equation in a soul based effort to bring to each other greater knowledge while on earth. Sometimes one may play the victim, next the perpetrator, other times the savior.

Triggers are those patterns of emotional intelligence, mental ideas, and circumstances that we carry inside of us, as unfinished potential full realizations. these are the significant components of our earth life with which there are many valuable experiences that will open us, reveal to us, illuminate us, redirect us, and add to our underlying sense of purpose as well as knowledge about life.

They are not merely problems, obstacles, hindrances, irritations, and conundrums solely in our lives to make us miserable. This level of awareness is the early stage of awakening in the earth school. There are many more possibilities for learning that ultimately lead to transcendence and transformation.

How the knowledge of our soul can open up greater purpose

When we have been activated beyond the ordinary awareness through circumstance which may be positive or negative we engage the wider spectrum of our own source self, our spiritual self, the soul. Once we have the connection to our soul perspective this engages knowledge of purpose that likely transcends the typical earthly perspective without the soul. The intellect begins a process of re-education where we begin to observe these experiences from a new perspective filled with meaning and purpose. As we cultivate this meaning in our lives, even the most negative of life situations sheds light and brings significant meaning to our inner selves, the world, and life around us. Widening our view of ourselves, each other and life around us. There is an unfolding of learning that begins to awaken inner knowledge so much so that the experience becomes one of remembering. Remembering (soul) what we have forgotten about life, ourselves and one another. This remembering is the soulful spiritual nature that exists in life everywhere in the universe in vast capacities and is forgotten temporarily through the act of embodiment here on the Earth. When the purpose of any situation becomes apparent from the soul a large context begins to emerge with which to operate our lives, make choices and to understand. This larger perspective may not occur to every family member at the same time, and so often when this happens a wide divide may occur in relationships. Boundaries change, and relationships go through many phases of expression, and understanding.

Memories of my own soul

In my own quest for a sense of completion, and fulfillment, understanding and release from pain I have bumped up against the edges of all my emotional and intellectual edges. Finding myself going further and deeper past those edges into realms of spiritual sight, inner soul memory, and soul based awareness that far exceeds the typical human levels. Because I have chosen to ask myself the necessary questions, and I have chosen to allow myself to keep feeling my feelings I have entered the realms of soul presence. This has brought into contact with others who have had similar experiences and realizations which have confirmed and supported my own soul development and choices to let go and move forward beyond the status quo of my previous understandings. I have spontaneously seen, felt, heard, myself in other times as other people struggling with the essence of the exact triggers I go through in this lifetime. Providing a broader context of understanding that I can say “fits well” with everything in my experience up to this point. Like finding a missing puzzle piece and completing a puzzle these memories of soul history complete the unanswered, questionable conundrums of my life in ways that are difficult to describe. I can say that once a life puzzle piece from my soul comes into place the feeling of peace, of understanding, of completion, and “fit” is perfect. There truly is a quieting of the self, and a peace that passeth all understanding.

Hardships, unrelenting difficulties, and impossible scenarios …unexpected deaths, murders, and various other horrific family stories

As difficult as it may seem to an unprompted human, one who has not opened to the soul qualities of this wider perspective, there is tremendous purpose in these events. For the individuals to whom they occur, those around them, and the general human family collective as well. For in all things there is a vast intelligence and purpose that is unfolding through the human experience. The great tragedies will open us into the soul realm of ourself and begin a journey of exploration far beyond anything we conceived up to that moment in time. Breaking open our minds, hearts and feelings with such depth that only by choosing to relearn and deepen understanding will the event itself not destroy some part of us. Wounded beyond repair this leaves the choice to either lose self in thoughts and actions of greater degradation, or transform and then transcend. The choice is ours.

THERE IS A IMPORTANT LEARNING HERE!

Though murder, unexpected deaths, and seemingly impossible scenarios hardly appear to have such meaning, they actually do! Soul consciousness extends beyond the boundaries of physicality and time. Living from a spectrum of spirit that within us is so vast that it includes a physical lifetime. And the soul is fully aware of this. I have had hundreds and hundreds of experiences communicating with loved ones who have passed over due to extraordinary circumstances and regained their full faculties after life and have come forward to express details which release and heal those left behind. Myself, I have remembered my own tragic life endings and recalled the details of my ongoing soul evolution. Without any doubt, I am fully aware of the greater meaning, and spiritual significance in horrific endings, tragic outcomes and sad scenarios left in the wake of a life through tragedy.

Ways in which we are meant to learn….. Physical, mental, spiritual, social

Looking at human life from the soul perspectives we are set up, so to speak, ( by our own soul choices and agreements before incarnation) to learn specific things about ourselves.

The nature of reality, and the essence of life itself. The most difficult of human learning bring the greatest capacity to break patterns that have existed in families for thousands of years, repeating and repeating until such time as a soul awakened individual breaks free of the limiting emotions, imprisoning belief systems, and twisted notions of reality. These people are truly present all over the world right now passing through some of the most difficult scenarios thought possible. Their choices to learn from these experiences are causing tremendous changes everywhere and sparking others to loosen up, to question authority, and to seek answers from within.

Physical

There are infinite scenarios through physical challenges that we find problems, obstacles, triggers,and limitations. All of which when observed with an awareness of learning from and learning through the process of painful physical illnesses, and limitations we develop depths of understanding about the natural world of a physical body, and how to successfully achieve results. In my case I must always attend to my circulation, via exercise of all kinds, play time, and authentic sensuality. If I do not pay attention here I always end up sluggish, lethargic, unhappy and disconnected. My body shows me through the non verbal messages of pain and pleasure, restfulness and excited-ness just how to find balance. Diet has a significant impact on cell physiology, circulation as well as mental and emotional states. Our physicality is a major area of universal learning. As a body therapist I encounter all of these and many other issues through the practice of body work, facilitating the clarity with clients and the deeper more meaningful messages in the body.

Mental

How we think, what we think, and then any actions we take or do not take based on our thoughts impact every aspect of our daily lives. When we develop a vigilant attention to our mentality we open unlimited areas of resourceful possibility, and when we do not we close off any of the same possibilities. Mental illness, as it is called is in my family, and through humanity. Mental illness both for the person experiencing it and those around them impacts our lives and is monumental catalyst for shifting people’s awareness. As we learn to take care of our thoughts, and how they affect life in us and around us we heighten our consciousness in ways in which we can not only heal, we can transform, and still go further and transcend these situations in ourselves. Developing the witness part of ourselves is a signal that we are learning to face, and move through mental states instead of being victimized by our own thinking and the thoughts of others. Intellect alone or knowledge is not sufficient to clearly embrace the totality of our mental states. Self awareness develops the witness aspect of a mind capable of seeing its own thoughts, and discerning the intellect, the thinking mind, the rational mind and the intuitive mind. Intuitive mind is unlike the intellect in that the frame of reference in any intuitional thought arises from a basis that may include thinking, or intellect, yet more than often comes from beyond it. In other words it appears to be from left field as the saying goes. Having little or not connection to what the thinking mind is saying. I have learned to hold on to intuitive thoughts longer, so as to give my thinking mind time to process, translate and integrate the significance of the intuitive thought. I experience this both inside my head, and above my head about 4 feet above. This is an aspect of soul connection that informs me. This is almost always amazing, provides answers that bypass all the typical logical thought processes and integrates the mind as well. By choosing to face our thinking triggers, pass through our thoughts to completion, and to remain open-minded to learning the mental issues we face will always show us new perspectives far beyond our beliefs, thought processes, and logical deductions.

Emotional

When I look at emotions I like to discern the difference between non verbal feeling that arises from the depths of myself, or my body and the thoughts I have about what feelings I am having. I find many times there is not a distinct discernment in thoughts we have about what we feel. In fact it is common when asked about an emotion a person will reply with an “ I think that….” kind of statement to put into words what they feel. I also detect how we think so much about feeling that we layer thoughts over feelings and address those as our emotions. This confuses the person, and the body sending many mixed signals all through the biology and physiology of a person. Causing much physical distress, hypertension, and all kind of diseases as these scenarios progress and become deeply ingrained in the character. Emotional intelligence is the cultivation of our feelings and thoughts. Separating them and identifying all the components of a particular emotional situation. Intuitive feeling gets bypassed, or ignored because it does not always have words, or fit into our specific emotional patterning. Intuitive feeling is different in us all. In myself I know how I have feeling that is deeply intuitive that arises directly from my heart, and or my abdomen. It is almost like a watery substance that comes from beyond my conscious awareness and I have learned how to hold on to these feelings long enough so that they become processed and then translated into images, and words that I can understand.

Spiritual

Every family either has a spiritual or religious pattern, or none at all. These days our spirituality is being confronted, challenged, and developed by the immense amount of polar opposites that arise in conflicts. Our innermost spirituality is easily broken wide open through our family tragedies, intense possibilities now available in self-expression and personal direction, amongst so many other issues. That we look deeply into ourselves through the challenges all the way to our innermost spiritual selves, our religious beliefs is all part of the plan. And learning to view ourselves and each other and all life as spiritually based. Moving beyond the limitations of only physicality as has been the case for thousands of years. Our spirits are activated, excited, speeded up, and flipped out into our lives like never before. Expanding every aspect of human life out into vast spaces of larger meaningfulness. Many are choosing instead to go the route of more limitation, more fundamental religiosity, and deceiving themselves and others about hatred, non inclusive rules, bigotry, egotistic maniac-ness in the effort to hold on to thousands of years of old patterns that no longer serve us. This reversal of spirituality is a free will choice that has its consequences and limitations. It is steeped in denial on all levels… physically, mentally, emotionally as well as spiritually. Perhaps the pervasive thought and emotion in going backwards is the fear. Fear based spirituality has been used to control people for long history in our human family.

Social

We are redefining all of our social places through our expansion of our complex human sexuality, gender identity, class-ism, economics, and so much more. As we develop new relationships we expand upon the old ones causing more inclusiveness, more understanding of our selves and each other. We develop new social structures, procedures, systems, laws, and so on. We have many socially unacceptable situations needing our attention. We have many unresolved social problems we need to take care. In the process of facing these issues the triggers subside, diminish and lead to many many new understanding and possibilities.

Patterns exist because we have lived before

Looking from the soul view patterns exist in our lives because we have lived before! Within our own bodies are generations of DNA that are the former expression of people who were ancestors. We do not realize it because many of us are so completely cut off from the knowledge of the history of our particular family ancestors, however the effects of all this live within us as us. Add to this the embodiment, or physical incarnation patterning carried forth through the subtle body of our soul self. Here are the continuing intentions for learning, the timing of events and people who will trigger us and the unspoken longing for truth about all these situations. Our incarnate directions are within us aligned with the soul choice for embodiment through the circumstances of our birth. Picking up on themes we are seeking to develop. These may be either positive or negative or any combination.

The deflated ego and the restoration of self

The majority of the early work of our lifetime is in the structure of our ego nature. This is very important as it will provide a personal container for our soul essence in life. As part of the curriculum of this planet we will pass through many many stages of ego development. In my experience one very misunderstood aspect is the deflated ego. The deflated ego feels like depression, sadness, dark emotions, feelings of being lost, and disconnected. Once I realized much of this was the realignment of my own ego I began to catch on to the fact that my ego is not really in charge. And when it deflates it is a good thing, though it feels awful. The deflated ego learns to let go of silly ideas, twisted notions of power, inappropriate life plans, and immature ways of living with others. To truly grow up we pass through all the delusions, and illusions of our ego creations. However the trade-off is the larger self, or spiritual self… the soul. Spiritual here different from religious. Innate spiritual forces that exist within us are independent yet may be connected to religious dogmas, disciplines, or beliefs. Yet even still the pure aspect literally stands independently of any man-made religion. It is what it is because this is the source of what we are as spiritual beings having a human life. Family triggers punch lots of action into our ego structures, testing their strengths, weaknesses, and the reality of truth with which we hold. Whenever my own ego gets deflated I have learned to reflect upon those uncomfortable feelings and I let go to a larger aspect of myself. Every time the result has been what I opened this writing with, I shifted and learned something very valuable and traded my limited little ego stand for my inner authentic soul place.

Changes in locations

Family triggers will cause us to move. The changing locations with which we pass into are significant in that new opportunities arise in new places. Separations, relocations, sudden movements of large groups of people as is now happening are all purposeful in the larger unfolding plan of our human family. Out of the larger collective family arise forces that alter our locations and in turn shift our relationships. Causing us to face differences, solve new problems, expose out dated customs, and free people from many painful life circumstances. I like to remember how family triggers include the larger family of humanity. And like our smaller micro family dynamics these larger ones add equal value to the human evolutionary process. As we integrate all that this means we have rich opportunities to grow and to evolve our selves.

Abuse and how we are to learn from it

A shocking realization for me was the memories that surfaced within me through the emotional work I did on healing myself. As I released more and more of the stuffed up, contaminated, overloaded contents of my own sub conscious I found a clarity. As there became a deep abiding inner peace within me I became emptied of many family scenarios of which I had suffered for years. In this peace my soul qualities filled in. In these peaceful internal states I integrated powerful memories of soul choices I had made before I became the me I am today. As a pre incarnated spiritual being I had looked closely at the earth based, family dynamics I could be born into. And to my shock I recalled the choice to undergo the difficult and painful experiences I would later learn to name abuse. Yet from the soul perspective I was particularly excited to avail myself of the chance to learn more and more through these difficult life scenarios. In my work with individuals over the years, I have witnessed the same exact realizations. These individuals who worked through the deepest layers of their negative pain, also had similar such soul memories. This has happened with such a congruent way I have learned that what we call abuse is meant to teach us, reveal to us, and to release us as we grow out of those circumstances. Not at all to imprison us as is the common idea held by people without soul awareness development. Shocking as it may be I found in the memories of many previous death experiences in past lives, even death has purpose.

When I was 33 years old I had a spontaneous soul review. Similar to a life review that is reported by people who have near death, and dying experiences. I had a soul review that showed my a long history of incarnations and the prevailing patterns in those lives and each death at the end. I reviewed the after life experiences and the returning to my soul self with each incarnation. This overview provided for me a larger context with which to frame human experience based on my own personal evolutionary unfolding in the earth school. In many incarnations I was learning every component of human power, power over others, power under others. And now as was revealed to me in this experience power with others. I experienced the tremendous, infinite love of God for me to have these experiences including death through murder, being murdered, and everything else. This love is far greater than even humanly possible to understand. So great is this love and so intelligent I learned how each negative experience I was victim to or had victimized would also contain an equal opportunity for balancing. Thus the polarity of experiences and the roles I played in all these different life times. The abuse we suffer here is actually meant for us to learn to understand, transform, and then transcend. This has not been the prevalent teaching in history of religion, and I learned that there have been powerful forces inside many religious institutions that are subliminally exerting hidden forces of control and manipulation. Thus in this lifetime I have learned that when a dogma is mean and unloving in any religion, I notice that. I do not participate any longer in any such teachings.

Soul agreements for incarnating and suffering through hardship

The incarnation that you and I are living within now contains soul agreements with the people in our families, as well as the collective human family. Suffering only need last as long as it takes to wake up to the larger perspective of a spiritually based ( not necessarily religious ) soul awareness of life. The depth of the painful things that are happening now have a polar opposite in the larger context of our human history and human species. The depth of pain has a counter balance in the depth of how unconscious we may be. In other words put like this… were we not so unconscious about the nature of existence and relationships we would not create or allow to manifest that which we are creating in this world. Out of our own unconscious thought feeling and action we generate experiences that will by nature arise to balance these things out. There is wisdom in the seemingly crazy unconnected terror, horror, pain and suffering we see around us. As we learn how not to create oppression, submission, power over others, greed, malice, and all the darker human emotions we currently still create we will have less expression of terror, abuse, suffering and pain inflicted one to the other. However we will have to learn from our triggers and seek to stop recreating patterns of hurt.

Release and freedom, the transcendence of conditions

Summing up here releasing self, learning to abide in freedom, and transcendence of negative situations is the underlying momentum arising naturally out of the great wisdom of creation in us, as us. Our experiences of suffering though not all consciously created, may be consciously transcended through prudent, vigilant exercising of our own free will. We all have some element of free will within the dynamic patterns of our pain. There is not final outcome of unending suffering and pain that is taught all over this planet. The soul is timeless, and directly connected to God. The soul in us is possible to be activated in any situation. Until one has passed through this, tested it, and learned this ….it may be hard to embrace, however that we effort to test ourselves, our beliefs and learn from what triggers us is a defining key to the human conundrum and mystery of suffering on our planet.

Anchoring the personality into the soul self

The result of the effort of the healing of our family triggers inside each one of us is ultimately the anchoring of the soul itself into the personality structure of self. Bringing into the world the greater will . Purpose, and light of a spiritually based person. A soul infused person who will manifest the love of our source here on this planet. If you have ever met or encountered such a person you will not forget them. A soul infused being has a powerful love, unflinching understanding and deep embrace of the human. Their very presence shifts the world around us. And they exist in every single walk of life, from the most lowly to the highest stages of human activity. I have been fortunate to have traveled all over the world and met many many such people and I am always left touched in some way with a gentle, yet even fierce love.

Living in the world as a soul being, and the effect this has on the world.

A soul incarnate being contributes in this world in ways that bring balance to life. They may even be your worst enemy. The bane of your existence. The choices that one encounters as a soul infused being, in my own experience defy what is normally accepted. Soul infused choices arise like magic, and create opportunities where humans could not. My own life has been filled with amazing such happenings. I know that soul people heal this world where ever they go. Their actions may be quiet and subtle yet their power great. Power to lift others, to show the way, and to pass beyond the most difficult of circumstances. Making way for truthfulness and the possibilities to love like never before here on earth.

The mystery of deep listening

The mystery of deep listening is that we learn to listen beyond the common voice of current rhetoric, and habitual patterning of anything less than soul based awareness. Learning how to pay attention to the unspoken promptings inside us, around us, and in nature. To listening to each other far beyond our words. The mystery in silence is there is more in the silence than in the words. I have learned to honor the pauses in life, not to fill every moment with chatter, and to hear past what you are saying. There is the sound of your soul, my soul yearning to be heard, seen, and felt. Our triggers lead us deeper so that we may come to these places in ourselves, and with one another.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self-reflection

The Transcendence of Hardship…. core spirituality, my personal journey

The Transcendence of Hardship…. core spirituality, my personal journey

It is perhaps the least spoken of and certainly least understood of all human activities our hardships and our unwilling conundrums. Where we find how our transcendence of hardship plays such a vital and important and always contributing spiritual action in this world. The act of transcendence is a universal sub-note or theme to all of our lives and carries a universal purpose. Not limited by any one religion, any nationality, race, any place, or age of person. In fact the act of transcendence is connected to all human activity… directing the future for all of us. So how is it that we have forgotten this deeply moving and important aspect of living?

The facing of the difficult.

The facing of difficulty is so common that we hardly give it a thought, so pervasive in society that we have a vast array of choices we all make which serve to distract us from this very thing! Much of our human activity…. the quest for power, the abuse of drugs, the proliferation of violence as entertainment, the chasing of money, the complete obsession of so many aspects of life and much of the negative psychological problems we share arise out of our resistance, and denial of our need to move forward through circumstance and transcend the conditions we find ourselves.

Transcendence happens on all levels of our lives. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social… there is hardly a human arena where we do not have the personal power to exert change and difference in our lives through our transcendence of hardship. There are no limits to gathering what it takes inside us, around us, and through us to take on the task. Often it is not until we have passed through the fires of a painful and difficult time do we even discover the meaning of it all! Yet in hindsight we frequently do arrive at the greater purpose that was unfolding all along in our hardships.

An act of spirit.

As an act of spirit transcendence transports us into realms of mystery, and revelation, where we are able to shape and develop personal qualities, conditions around us, and participate in something larger than ourselves.. that of evolution. The opening to personal revelation and our unknown strengths and weaknesses are almost always revealed. The forces of circumstance drive us all to move beyond ourselves and to taste the sweet waters of humility. Here is where we regain our footing in new vision, new possibility, and new outcomes. Our soul selves quietly lead us forward through these things all to bring to us the larger place of being, where we discover our most important truths, unravel our greatest mysteries, and find the love we were searching all along. Yet… oh how we resist and fight the urge to transcend our own short comings and negativity. Until we reach the place of our deeper wisdom and learn the purposeful unfolding, we suffer. And most often we generate our own suffering through our ignorance ( from the word : “to ignore” ). The act of spirit is heaved forward into our lives as we gain momentum with our transcendence of every single circumstance both within ourselves and outwardly!

The idea of polarity.

What is so vital in all this is polarity, those forces of positive and negative. For as we face hardship and grok our way onward we gain strengths and wisdom’s as we face the tremendous negativity in our lives. It is perhaps the single most powerful teaching that any negative force can show us. The horrific negative scenarios in our world awaken human beings and redirect us in ways it is almost inconceivable to understand. When we gather one to another uniting in our efforts to face the hardships and difficulties of this world we literally change history, alter the future and gain tremendous strength of character. We are able to redefine and transcend these negatives. Within ourselves whenever we face a personal state of our own making, our own negatives, we draw from the very substance of our lives, the spiritual energy needed to move our blocks, shift our minds, release our pains. It is not uncommon to look back after such a growth zone and think of it as a miracle! Yet as humans this is perhaps one of our most powerful and fluid capacities. We can move mountains! We are truly spiritual beings having a human experience and not just humans having a spiritual experience. Never more is this realized than after passing through a difficult hardship and successfully and completely transcending the conditions and limitations that used to over take us.

How we react to the world and why it matters.

How we react to the world is of pure consequence because our reactions have momentum, have energy behind them. Every thought, emotion, action, or lack of … shape the collective conditions of our lives. Building our days with human choices both conscious and unconscious.

Once the realization that our reactions cause more actions with our environment, our human brothers and sisters, and all life on this planet we learn to pause. Pausing allows us the moments we need to learn to consider how and what we choose will affect life around us.

Staying prejudiced, or remaining stubborn, holding on to our viewpoints when another expresses an opposing view, for example, will only cause ourselves to continue to experience the same limiting and painful scenarios over and over.

Unyielding points of view in the face of opposition only add to conflict.

It is a choice to be this way, and learning to just relax and let others have their say, and to act on their notions is sometimes the one act that can bridge the differences. There is a third place where oppositions meet and the possibility for understanding then has a grounding for arising. It is quite possible to say no to injustices, suppression, oppression, and any forms of subservience while not creating any hardship. Learning how to engage difference has its strength in this world as it can show us how we ourselves may make a difference through the willingness to peacefully face such actions in the world. For truly all of these scenarios show us on the most primal level, what not to do to another. And so not to cause such in our personal lives in any degree.

Saying no to injustice, suppression, oppression and all forms of subservience to outside negative forces.

Choosing kindness over hatred

Choosing empathy over defensiveness

Choosing understanding over prejudice

Choosing strength over weakness

Choosing clarity over confusion

Choosing openness over closed-ness and obsessiveness

Choosing cooperation over fighting

Choosing willingness over resistance

Choosing love over… as the final result in all matters on a personal level
These are but a few harmonious conditions we can always grow in our personal lives in the face of hardships.

Transcendence is a core element of spirituality.

Transcendence is an aspect to core spirituality as it is basic to all of life, even on a cellular level. Transcendence is core because whether we like it or not, whether we want to at the time or not, circumstances will eventually lead us beyond ourselves and the limits we place in life. And this transcendence connects into the collective. Our private thoughts, feelings, and actions do affect the public domains of our common ground. As the actions, words of such generate the conditions we live within. How often have I discovered a private and personal act of transcendence brought to me a new door opening, a new friend, new possibilities. Yet on the surface there did not appear to be any connection outside me. The revelation was indeed, we are… and all things and circumstances all connected.

“Going against the grain” when it serves your intent to transcend.

“Going against the grain” is an uncomfortable realization that our personal growth demands of us eventually. There is a time when it becomes right to step away, to step out, and to go another way. Even at the dismay of loved ones. Our deeper urge to transcend does not always align with the timing of the people with whom we love. Thus there is a pain and this pain we are urged to bear as we move forward and learn to not only face our difficulties, but also to transcend them. Resulting in many turn rounds, shifting of circumstance and whole new unexpected directions. Family and friends are not always up to speed with us at the same time this happens. When we choose differently it is helpful to be considerate of our loved ones and to take time to share, if that is possible. When it is not we must go forward anyway and my experience is that in time, more opportunities will show up later where the chance to build understanding will manifest. But until then, “going against the grain” may become the central theme of our lives.

Transcendence as a way of life, the art of always giving self permission to move on.

Clearly one of the most difficult aspects of all this is giving ourselves permission to move forward! Yet it is needed, as no one has the power to do it for us, we have to act on our own life force from within ourselves otherwise the transcendence is not complete. Going it alone, and learning self permission is one of the scariest most important realizations on the path of facing the difficult. When we can muster this with the smaller conditions, we graduate to larger ones. Along the way we learn how transcendence is a way of life and an art to living that is absolutely necessary. Often it is in our loneliest, most alone moments when we discover our own most powerful strengths. Graduating to the art of transcendence where we learn to love and live happily as we make our changes, even when we face our hardships. This is where we encounter the paradox of living. Paradox becomes familiar ground and acceptance is the way through the polarizing opposites in our nature and the world around us. Many times in my own history of transcendence I have been in a state of paradox until I achieved a greater momentum in my direction. I learned to accept this about myself, life in general and this supports me in facing the difficult with much less angst and more layering of negativity.

The evolution of circumstance based on choice.

When in hindsight we reflect upon circumstance it is much easier to see how our evolution and growth through our choice selections generate the circumstance. When we discover how we create reality, (circumstances) we learn how to value what is inherent in facing hardship. It becomes worth it to move onward and go through whatever it will take to transcend our unhappiness, our discords, our pains, and our adversities and adversaries. All such negative situations become the fuels with which we use to propel ourselves out and beyond. We stop fighting them, and we learn to transcend them…. ourselves.

This is most valuable with larger issues where whole groups of people are involved. We may not have unto our individual selves the powers necessary to shift a whole group, yet we do when it comes to one individual. Me! One transformed person will make it possible for another and another, and so on. In case you have never heard of The Hundredth Monkey phenomenon, then investigate that. We learn to be appropriate in the larger context of life and we replace our rant of “change the world” to “change my world” and we get on with the business of living the change ourselves. This is powerful.

Anchoring intention into states of transcendence vs. the struggle.

When we arrive to the natural impulse within ourselves to transcend, and concentrate on our own life, and stop projecting this onto every person, group, nation or whatever that we do not agree …we cease the continuous state of conflict so many humans place their energy.

We then add to the harmonious forces of transformation and transcendence that already exist and are popping up all over the world. There is an appropriate action facing the negative forces around us , and there is the time to do this work internally and make the change within that we want to see outwardly. In other words… “I become the change I want to see in the world”. And thus we become a force for transcendence that is unstoppable.

Through out my entire life I have experienced all these things and I know how new levels of transcendent living actually shift the very life around me.

Forces of negativity that once pulled upon me withdraw their grip and the freedom within is untouchable to those forces.

There is still a lot we all are learning when it comes to sovereignty… and one of the most difficult realizations is no one can give this to you, no one can make you sovereign like you can.

Yet still the masses seek freedom outside themselves, when it is actually within us.

The discovery that we make this ourselves is for all of us.

As more and more individuals begin to live this, the forces of oppression, suppression, injustice, and harm will only continue to diminish. These kind of negative forces can only take hold in individuals that do not live in alignment with transcendence and the self sovereignty of a human life.

Thus for these negatives to go away we all will learn and learn so fully, so collectively that negatives will have no place to anchor in us, in our lives.

This is the deeper more powerful truth of the transcendence of hardship that all negative forces do not want you to learn, for it does mean their end.

Core spirituality, my personal journey

The Old World Borders and the Age of Global Social Reform, core spirituality my personal journey

The Old World Borders and the Age of Global Social Reform, core spirituality my personal journey

Ideas are not subject to physical boundaries.

The old world borders which kept all our lives separate can no longer contain the wave of global social reform arising in our collective humanity. Ideas have the capacity to move beyond physical barriers and man-made boundaries traveling across the world in light speed.

Our world is passing through a tremendous time of transformation that on the surface appears to be filled with mostly terror, revolt, dissent of all kinds and corruption. The situation is vastly complicated with many layers with which to reflect and understand. A time of great change. Something so big is going on that everyone all over the planet is feeling it in some way. We are in a collective shift of the ages. We have lots to do.

Human consciousness is evolving beyond the old world ways and we are feeling the painful dismantling of centuries old order. Difficulty abounds as leaders in every nation are learning how to come to terms with the ascending awareness of the collective human conditions which seek to know freedom and the exercise of creative impulse. Resistance to allowing these changes to happen is accumulating, and the ways in which people are enacting their notions of control are being exercised in every conceivable manner. The time of our lives is fraught with horrible danger and staggering possibility all at the same time. All the while the push back continues to build everywhere all over the world.

The technological age.

The advancement of technologies have taken us over the edges of thousands of years of doing things a certain way. We are feeling the need to transform this and so new paradigms are emerging, a whole new possibility to communicate.

How we learn to communicate is of vital importance now.

What we communicate is of vital importance now.

Each person’s reactions add to the world-wide arena of ideas.

Positive or negative…. we are seeing ourselves like never before.

The souls of those now on earth.

The souls of those present on earth, the young, and those coming in are poised to question authority, stand up to injustice and inequality, and voice opposition and enact push back to old world forces on a scale such as we have not ever seen on a global level.

World wide “Push Back”

These incarnate beings in every country are living out the needed changes that are part of the larger spiritual shift happening in our world community. We have every position being taken from each end of the polarity of possibility from the most positive to the most negative and many have suffered, been killed, or have elevated and freed themselves and others through daily choices being made.

There are the many growing ideologies of freedom urging forward in the hearts and minds of these new souls. The many old world systems which have served humans for centuries are being questioned and challenged. Political controls … absolute monarchies, democratic monarchies, dictatorships, powerful forces for oppression and suppression through military action, financial take over are all having to contend with the push back now. Our humanity is stirring and it does not look to me as if it can be truly stopped. Evolution has its own truthful components needing to be addressed through out the world-wide landscape, and HUMANITY is feeling all this.

Our collective need for honesty.

No longer satisfied with patronizing words, misleading, misinformation, or deceit the massive movement of a greater truthfulness is seeking expression through the masses demanding real reforms, ending the patriarchal oppressive forces of control. The rising to equality in the woman… the rise of the feminine in us is calling out with each and every voice. Balancing centuries of patriarchal law and rule. The call to true transparency and the deliberate destruction of false propaganda is virtually world-wide now, and growing! The revealing of the secrets, the hidden agendas, and motivations will continue world-wide in all our lives as we learn to live in greater states of personal honesty. This new level of honesty is what transforms what is corrupted, twisted, and hidden to us. The very personal choice to be self honest is where we find our true innate spiritual power.

Secret empires all over the world.

Empires of all kinds, whether familial, political, religious, economical/financial, and hidden to the public are being challenged with the voices of democracy as the voices of deceit are pushed upon. The loss of personal privacy with the global breakdown of the internet via governmental forces all over the world is being questioned through the many speeches, meetings, and lawful challenges against the NSA. The people want to know. Humanity has the idea that we all have the need to be free, sovereign, and creative drivers of our lives. Not dictated by an external authority!

What is not reported in global media.

New service committees, new programs, new areas of collective discussion are finding new possibilities as the madness continues to scream at us. We continue to develop communication formats that would replace the world-wide military actions that are attempting to maintain order. People are realizing that communication is the peaceful and most powerful means to resolve conflicts. The world watches in pain as these forceful actions continue to kill, mame, wound, and injure innocents. Still there is greater possibility now more than ever to develop new platforms for understanding as a way to solve problems, not violence which increases the disenfranchised and displaced actions of millions of people. There is growing all over the world a new voice for ALL people. Fundamentalist, or violent, or suppressive jihads ( not in the true sense of the meaning of the word, but in the fundamentalist war mongering way) , fatwas, along with secret military and political and economic take overs which distribute wealth, and resources in massively disproportionate degrees of inequality are all facing us as we learn how to replace these actions with greater understanding and mutual respect for differences. We are having to all learn in the collective plane of this physical world.

Reforms emerge and grow out of needs.

As we learn to be aware of what is really going on around us we are waking up to how rights, freedoms, and creativity are really being withheld by the few against the many. The growth of new reform is birthed as more and more individuals realize how much we need to make changes. This is a natural response in life, as we all have the innate interior messages within us to protect, and to grow personal freedom and creative living.

When the present circumstances no longer fulfill the purposes of the present day it is a natural response to creatively make new… to re-form what has been.

When this awareness reaches a massive level in whole groups of people we see what is known as revolutions.

What is a revolution?

The word itself comes from the Latin revolutio, meaning “a turn around”. Or in action it becomes a fundamental change in power or structure, and arises as a “revolt” or push back to the current status quo. Major changes in other words.

Major changes on both sides of this equation are all over the world now. Dissent, intimidating, threatening, arresting, torturing, killing are much of what we see now. Anyone who speaks out using justice systems is likely to encounter those who use them to create political agendas by having secret courts, enacting ancient laws, and using financial resources to thwart justice. All to stop this reform from happening. Resulting in people who feel more anger and then more revolt and push back… this is quite natural. There is an innate dignity in each human, there is the need to learn to have tolerance and acceptance now of these difficult problems on a massive global scale. The violence that ensues rises up as a natural response to continued, unending, perpetrating forces that do not meet people’s needs, both political and social, combined with all the deceitful intimidation and suppression. This effects whole regions as shifts in consciousness ripples to neighbors and the younger generations respond versus the older generations.

The right to education.

The right to be self informed via truthful reporting, and media accountability, and transparency is vital to our new global citizens. The right to educate through higher education in grade school, primary and secondary is something people are working on in many countries. When medias are severely controlled, journalists threatened, or arrested for speaking truth to power in their efforts to inform the public these people are acting as educators. Without clear information we are not capable of decisions that will be in our own best interest. As the reality of the corruption is brought to light all over the world the existing powers are having a difficult time maintaining their status quos of limiting personal freedoms. Free speech is not tolerated and seen as a threat. Yet at the same time we cannot stop learning, growing, and becoming better without the truth to make corrections. I am astonished at how free speech is handled by governments, corporate powers, and judicial systems all over the world. Reform is absolutely necessary here.

In core spirituality, the bias I hold is that we are not humans having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human one.

This experience of being human right now entails the understanding that the human condition is in flux, and at times in greater change than others times.

As a spiritual being I have the inherent capability to see clearly, know deeply, and respond as such to my surroundings. All rights come from the one Source. Whether you call that source Allah, God, Lord, whatever your belief, the Source of life is the source.

We have as expressions of this source the innate possibility to arrive at all truth, truth beyond religious or political belief. Truth as the expression of the pure nature of Source.

In this way we can choose to live as expressions of this truth and we can grow this inside ourselves… no matter the physical circumstance. That we have the ability to respond…. responsibility to our lives is how we make choices day-to-day. Our choices are enhanced by our ideas, by our physical surroundings, by our infinite spiritual nature. When I observe the unfolding events here I am reminded how transient and conditional physical life really is, and by nature how unending spiritual life is. What is happening here on earth is a spiritual transformation. As every aspect of our humanness comes under scrutiny. As we question all that we do this is spiritual work of being incarnated. And as such serves both a personal and a collective whole. We learn to be self sovereign. Learning how to become a self sovereign spiritual being alongside all others. Learning how to be a self sovereign spiritual race of humans.

Everyone holds the world in his or her hands.

Core spirituality, my personal journey

Consciousness and Belief… Finding Core Value, core spirituality, my personal journey

Religious symbols

Consciousness and Belief… Finding Core Value, core spirituality, my personal journey

Consciousness here is defined as the totality of my own psychology, emotional nature and feeling of sensations, perceptions ideas, attitudes in both ordinary and non ordinary (dreams, meditations, and altered states) super conscious and subconscious experience.

Belief here is a state or habit of my mind, a conviction of truth in which I place my trust and thru which I view and experience reality.

Core value here is what I have come to understand, experience, learn and remember as central to the experience of being human from the viewpoint of my own spirit, soul self.

My own paradigm shift!
While belief plays a significant component to life here on earth and provides a framework for experiencing our lives it is not actually the most important value as many human beings hold true.

In my experience of passing out of and beyond this physical existence while still in body with my present awareness completely intact, I have learned that how and what I create and cause to evolve within myself holds the central core value of meaningfulness to each physical embodiment or incarnation.

Circulating all over the earthly human environment are voices which do not hold fast to this idea.

Having passed from their original spiritual state into the physical incarnation cycles, many people ( spiritual beings ), the idea of belief has become for the masses the most important value and is the cause of horrific and vast conflict among-st our collective humanity …..
undermining the basic core value of our species reason for living.

My own “wake up” realization!
When what we believe and how we believe it becomes more important than how our beliefs cause us to evolve or hold us back from evolving, we sidestep and avoid the deeper more meaningful purpose with which our beliefs serve us.

What we are actually doing to one another that is based in placing our beliefs over our evolution.
To use belief to oppress, suppress, control, manipulate, hoard, harm and kill others has been a longstanding outcome to many of the religious, political, and personal beliefs of billions of humans adding to the suffering of many and the preventing of global unity and collective prosperity for everyone.

The effect of which causes me to observe…
I find it very telling when groups, nations, military around the world, whole bodies of religious people all involve themselves in hurting of others for the sake of their own beliefs.

In this way we can observe a signal that some aspect of belief is inherently out of sync with the larger picture of our collective experience (especially from the spiritual, not religious perspective). Whether the belief is based in Christianity, Islam, or the Jewish systems the history, or any other religious or non religious systems is noteworthy here of how people of these faiths have allowed their belief to perpetrate harm to others… to children, adults, animals, the environment which supports us is staggering.

The application of religious belief combined with political will to withhold basic human rights, to perpetrate control over whole masses of people and the justification of harm to others is highly questionable to me. I feel myself wanting to understand this about our humanity.

When what we believe becomes more important than how that belief supports us in evolving our awareness and our consciousness shows me how we have personally and collectively lost something central to the experience of being human that together we all share. The underlying spiritual being-ness that we all share! ( for example … the unyielding quest for power in thousands of ways at any cost to others to maintain a status quo !)

Decades of working with healing modalities have shown me…
In my personal work of healing my own pain in this life and those others who have come to me, I have had a lifetime of experiences of moving beyond belief, and into the purely spiritual aspect of my own self and others, my soul to realize what it is I am or am not learning.

The massive astral realms of souls.
It has been my experience that after death of the body many individuals pass into gigantic realms of collective belief far into the astral realm of this planet. Where the mutual thoughts have generated artificial astral realms filled with millions of souls who have gathered together out of their collective beliefs formed while in body. This is true for every religion.

I have visited these astral realms and been shown how the over emphasis in belief causes the staggering of the soul beyond incarnation. Yes! Beyond this lifetime! Like wise I have traveled beyond these realms and witnessed both for myself and others how we eventually come to realize what we have learned as a result of earthly life when we make it beyond the realms of our earthly belief !

The “soul reviews”…
I have witnessed the assessments of evolution that arise from these experiences. I know how the value of evolution, personal and collective growth plays a much greater role in our spiritual selves, far beyond the beliefs we have held while in body. As each soulful aspect, each being, has the opportunity to learn of itself, its experience, and to assess its own evolution while on earth!

While what we believe is all well and important… the actual question of the soul is; “what did I do to evolve my consciousness, how did I grow by learning?”

Once in this realm the appropriate configuration of belief is understood for the true value it holds and we reconnect with the context of our experiences from our purely spiritual selves.

Belief is merely a vehicle for mind, emotion, feeling, and experience which teaches us about our nature as spiritual beings having a human experience.

For truly it is so…. we have a common, yet diverse experience of being human, as spiritual beings we are all on a much larger common ground of spiritual experience.

As soul beings, or expressions of the Source, or “God”, (use the word you feel best expresses this) our souls have much more in common and are all completely connected one to the other. It is quite ordinary while in physical body to use beliefs to substantiate exactly the opposite! And maintain a separateness one towards another while in the body experience. Contrary to the larger reality of the vast larger, true and actual reality of life where this is not even true.

In viewing my brothers and sisters in spirit I have seen the realms where they go based purely in their earthly beliefs, where Christians are still waiting for the coming of their lord, or where Muslims linger in a paradise of their own making. It was a startling experience to watch as I moved through these realms learning to understand how what we believe even directs us after we die our bodies here.

There are realms which exist beyond earthly belief in the universe!
Contrasting thus further with the realms where the actual soul essence is supported to engage in honest self-reflection, self understanding about what we did with our beliefs while on Earth. This engaged a huge wake up call to me as I learned how much farther we go knowing we are not a belief, we are pure spiritual being and this being is far more open, far more larger, and far more connected to something far greater than all these separate beliefs COMBINED! In this place we understand the nature of our consciousness as not just a human having a spiritual experience, we know that we are a spiritual being having a human experience!

The conditional reality of living only within a belief as the very core of the structure of life, and that being in life is seen as that…. conditional. And not the actual full reality of existence. This is why I have learned to shift the emphasis of belief to its more appropriate place and to look to how my or someone else’s beliefs are causing us to evolve. I look to the evolving results, or the learning, while respecting the belief that brings us to our personal evolutionary states.

We as a species have a tremendous leap now as all the beliefs of thousands of years are being stirred. As our world becomes personally closer one to another through technology and the expansive experience of consciousness growth, and we face how what we believe is actually hurting our collective “us”.

We have further to go towards understanding and what we do with our wills.

How we choose to act, towards our belief differences. We have so much more capability here to resolve what has been our history.

As more and more of the darker side of our beliefs is brought out, into the light of how we actually harm one another, or withhold universal rights to all beings we can evolve into a completely diverse yet harmonious humanity. Yet… this will take work.

And this work is for each one of us in our daily lives, in whatever ways we can muster toward greater understanding that beyond what we all believe, how we evolve from our beliefs, what we actually learn is the central value and purpose of our ideas in the gift of living each day.

Emotional Intelligence… leaning into self awareness to heal, core spirituality

Voices in His Head

Emotional Intelligence… leaning into self-awareness to heal, core spirituality

Learn to address every emotion that you have. This is my interior message this year. Learn to identify moods, gut feelings, disconnects, and the interior places that still pull me out of my own joy. Generate the understanding in the world you wish to see for the place you inhabit, your physical body and let the world of madness go by you. Do your inner work and learn to know thyself.

Learn how it is your emotions play into your life as they will be the source of many situations that you still do not comprehend. ( shaping your reality from behind the curtain of your conscious knowing)

Radical self honesty is arriving to your door, so pay attention!

Your sub conscious is becoming conscious as you open yourself to the deepening discovery of radical self honesty. Profound self honesty empowers your personality to gain strength and momentum in the ongoing unfolding course of your life experiences. These experiences are also a large component of your path, your spiritual path. That you come to understand and identify what you feel is the precursor to more significant self-development and capability is starting to gain momentum within humanity now.

Stuck places, repeating mood swings, disharmonious life patterns and lack of joy and personal freedoms are symptoms of your still as of yet, unfinished inner work, and spiritual development.

A big AHAA is upon you!

It is rare that emotional development is tagged as a major component of spirituality, rather we are led to focus on belief alone as our source of spirituality, yet this is still far from the larger truth of existence.

As spiritual beings having human experiences our feeling nature is extensive, multi-layered, mysterious, and complex. When we only focus, as we are led to believe by so many external forces such as religious leaders and many teachings they promote, on belief without integrating all of our feelings and emotions we block from ourselves vast amounts of information that lead to deep understandings and the true interconnection of all life.

External forces of religion that perpetrate belief without emotional sovereignty and deep self honesty for all feelings then have a capacity to box up certain feelings that prevent a human from having full access to the larger innate and very powerful feelings that will guide one through the maze of human life.

Beliefs alone are used as mental ideas and these will not sufficiently embrace the wider spectrum’s of feelings and emotions any human is capable of having. This blocks the natural flow of spiritual feeling and the possibility for knowing something from inside self as a direct experience.

When we are externally focused in this way our emotions will continue to pop up, and cause frictions with our personalities in ways that maintain a continuum of human confusions.

This is a real aspect of the darker forces that have been active on earth for centuries. ( hiding in so-called spiritual places, yet religions)To prevent humanity from knowing the significant truth of self, as a spiritual being, and to direct subservience, and passive acceptance without understanding of how life works. This form of subtle coercion exists all around us in all forms of media control, religious belief, and how our society is informed on a daily basis.

Do you actually believe that all the news that is reported is really “the news”?

We are not being shown the actual truth of our lives, as we are led to believe. We are not really getting all “the news” as is reported by every news media. All of this is selective, and is selective so as to lead us into a very limited perspective about our lives and each other.

The amount of real and relevant information is being omitted is huge!

The ramifications of this are the continual use of power over others through war mongering, political positioning and control, media hype, and religious perversions that cause and perpetrate powerlessness and victimization as long-standing patterns within our human family.

How does one come to really know this?

It is from the deep radical self honesty of self-reflection, and learning to integrate our emotions and feelings on a daily basis which lifts one out of the hypnosis of falseness still being perpetrated across the entire planet. Self knowledge and clarity of emotions inform us directly from within, and in this way we have our own detectors for information. This interior state of feeling and emotional clarity carries significant more information that reveals purpose, direction, and many of the answers our humanity is seeking. It comes from within self. Within each person one at a time, day by day. And our connection to this interior place is our own sovereign life force in us, as us.

It is quite simple.

The big AHAA, is that each of us has this capacity built inside us and we can increase, develop, and maintain this if we so desire. Thus diminishing our sense of victimization and lack of knowledge about any subject.

One has to walk the path of emotional honesty so completely that this becomes obvious, and not until one has cultivated this to a significant degree will it become so obvious and relevant.

To persevere in the face of ignorance, denials, and the habits of being a “follower” and to shift into knowledge, acceptance, and self sovereignty is how we learn to truly grow up. To learn to take the substances of our dally lives and utilize this material as a learning lab for our spiritual selves and to rise through it all.

Our humanity is venturing forward now in larger ways towards a collective wake up, a collective leap into our own larger capacity to hold vastly greater amounts of information which can generate tremendous new self-knowledge. More and more people are becoming aware of the lies that are being perpetrated all over the world, as well as all the corruption. How we feel about all this and what we do about it will depend on our capacity to feel our feelings. Is retaliation really the best way, is power over others, is emotional immaturity really working?

We are learning to discover how emotional maturity really feels, and how this redirects us into better life choices. Our learning curve is huge here as we have so very far we can go. Our future generations of humans will be riding on the decisions we make now. And I can tell you that this is very essential to integrate as another form of emotional maturity… that we realize the actual consequences of our actions without repeating the same victimization and violence over and over and over.

To shift into a better capacity to handle increasing intensities, choose radical self honesty!

Instead of the same emotional denial and reactionary patterns we usually have in our life patterns we can choose radical self honesty. Radical and profound self honesty has the capacity to withstand the intensity. It has the capacity to drive through difficulty, and to align us with much more powerful forces available to us for manifesting reality. This honesty will diminish your ego, tear your “so called” self importance down, it will deconstruct and reconstruct an improved you.

Getting though all the pain.

The transformation of our humanity is passing through this in each of us as we learn to let go and allow for a better way inside our selves. As we learn to release our pain and suffering, our sorrows filter to the surface to be released.

As the tears of our sorrows empty out our eyes begin to fill with new vision.

We birth into ourselves something new, and this requires all the self honesty one can muster at any single moment. It is all worth it.

Personal freedom precedes all other forms of freedom, and cannot be taken away once one has brought self into the frequencies of radical self honesty. It is powerful beyond any politics, any religious teaching, anything external. This is because it is the living essence of truth within as you.

Truth fullness as a self expressed aspect of who and what we are as spiritual beings having a human experience.

The somewhat confusing reality of our lives.

That our humanity is filled with twists and turns is how we re-position our attention.

We shift our possibility as we go along and make many corrections.

This is the remarkable flexibility of our emotions and feelings that empower our species.

Truly astounding.

We are all so much more than we thought ourselves to be, or anyone has told us.

We can discover this without permission, without anyone needing to do this for us. It is a singular experience, one day at a time, one person at a time. This is the dawn of the transformation of our humanity!

Willingness to Watch Our Inner Conversations…. core spirituality, my personal journey

 

 

Willingness to Watch Our Inner Conversations…. core spirituality, my personal journey

What did I say to myself today?

These posts are reflections and expressions of my own internal conversations.

The voices in my head.

The feelings that arise, and the ongoing development of my own place in the cosmos.

We all have the “inside place” where the voices inside us speak.

My question is how well do we know these places and are we listening?

Listening to the internal dialogues we have with ourselves is a crucial element of inner development which leads to our personal revelation, and self discovery. Without the conscious awareness of these interior voices we are subject to reactions, rationalizations, excuses, and pitfalls of infinite variety.

How we learn to catch these inner voices is one thing, discerning them is another and integrating them is still another step.

How long has a voice spoken inside me without my ever listening?

Do I ignore my own internal dialogues?

Am I afraid to listen… sometimes?

How can I make peace with the voices within me that are unresolved?

How do I stabilize my thoughts? Have I truly resolved my own inner conflicts?

Today when will I submit to the urge to be silent enough to be aware in some new way?

So much information around us now,information overload… when there are too many thoughts, voices inside me, how do I refocus ? Do I allow my interior dialogue to remain in constant conflict?

When are the voices or thoughts inside me not really mine, but some internalized influence from someone else? Society, religion, parents, media, friends, many voices blend within us. Am I clear enough to recognize the difference within me as I sort them out and find my own genuine inner voice?

What we are learning now is how to refine our perceptions of our true inner most voice.

The voice of our most intimate internal knowing. Without the clarity and discernment here who do we actually become?

The discerning awareness of self-knowledge is a vital new interior place of self-awareness that is growing in the human collective today.

As more individuals learn how to recognize the truthful self within and those thoughts that originate from the pure center of self, or from the actual biology… the physical body of self, or the mind of self we engage our placement outside, into the projected realities that others in this world would have us believe, have us submit, or have us engage. Fear being a primary example.

FEAR.. A force that is easy to become caught up, easy to internalize, and easy to perpetrate without really knowing how we do this. Easy especially when we are unconscious, or unaware, or cut off, or in denial of our own inner voices. When this happens our outer life circumstances become enmeshed and entangled in the lives of others also all in engaged in fear scenarios.

And so is this what the innermost self truly seeks?

Listening to ourselves, refining discernment.

The act of listening requires our commitment to honesty and some silence in order to stay connected without the constant distractions and sidelining of external voices seeking to reach us on a daily basis.

The capitalistic nature of our society is constantly speaking to us with voices of buy, buy, buy, buy now, hurry.. buy now. Without discernment we are grabbing our credit cards, our phones, and buying as if our lives depend upon it. Mindless really, or thoughtless, yet in our culture this is prevalent.

The stillness that exists inside us and all around us, how familiar are we really with this?

The stillness is a voice of silence.

How well do I listen to the voice of silence?

Have you ever considered that the voice of silence actually is a voice with meaning?

How we learn to appreciate our own inner voice of silence plays a major role in our personal development as we learn the art of discernment.

This silence carries the unspoken awareness of direction within the circumstances of our inner world. This direction is constantly moving and carries us along as we go through the many phases of development along any single theme within us. The silence has a way of clarification that brings out the most valuable components of our current themes. We can learn to pace ourselves in any situation by maintaining a vigilant intention to honor our inner silence and what it will show us. Because our lives are in a constant state of movement this is valuable as we receive continuous updates from within this silence.

So how does the silence, which seems to be nothing, actually speak to us if there are no words?

The silence is a form of presence that is us. This presence contains the actual consciousness of our larger self, perhaps the spirit, or the soul of us. This silent presence is our very witness to everything inside us and carries a significant point of view that is an important aspect of our totality.

For example when I am watching the world with all my thoughts, what is watching the watcher that is me? This is the silent voice and still presence that is our larger self outside the boundary of our physical, mental, emotional life. This silent self is here always and holds something quite valuable to the process we are having of being a spiritual being having a physical experience… our life. This is our most valuable resource as we entertain, struggle, and move through being human.

The paradigm shift of knowing self is upon us.

The capacity for our thoughts to be rearranged, to be revised, to elevate emotions and feelings, and to highlight important details all exist within the silent and still voice of presence that is who we are. For this reason once we learn to integrate all our inner voices, manage them, name them, and familiarize ourselves with them we can add the silent voice.

In this larger paradigm of inner awareness we break through the habits, and hypnosis of casual living and exchange this for intentional living. We become more able to accelerate our purposeful directions and meaningful relationships with a lively state of inner knowing. This is why the ancients subscribed to the notion KNOW THYSELF.

Meaning know thy thoughts, thy feelings, and learn to know your own so well that you solidify your person.

Anchoring our selves in the midst of chaos and confusion.

When we solidify the state of inner knowing we can hold the space of greater potential and direct the outcomes of our lives with significant more fuel. The fuel of self awareness, which holds the attention and the intention of the silent, still voice of our spiritual self, or soul self. The strength of this protects us from the casual nature of, distraction into , and subversion of forces which would have us be slaves, be perpetual victims, and malinger in life long conditions of unhappiness and suffering. Our very own negativity is called into check as we increase our self-knowledge and learn to grow inner courage.

We cultivate courage to pass beyond our self-imposed limits and our own deeply held habits when we increase self-knowledge, know our inner voices, and integrate the silent, still self. This courage is a signal to our person that our efforts are all worth it, that our willingness truly does make a difference, and that we have unlimited potential to explore.

The maturation of our human condition requires this courage within us both as an inner voice and as a presence. The maturation of our individual human selves adds to our collective experience and we learn from one another thus creating new paradigms of possibility for us all. This is our collective human evolutionary way, we are all contributing something to this on this planet at this time.

Do not your fear to control your “inside places”, or if you are… seek assistance, guidance and help. For there are many incarnate souls living in our world who came here for this very purpose. For the purpose to assist the humans with their consciousness, feelings, thoughts. We have legions of people here dedicating their lives to helping humanity one person at a time.

In my previous writing I wrote of how life is increasing in spirituality, and how we have the choice to love in any situation. Now I am adding that we have the choice to know ourselves, more completely, more deeply. It is in these discoveries that life as we know it is being transformed and the future generations will step forth from our efforts and succeed even further.

The Paradigm Shift Happening In Our Humanity This Year- 2016… core spirituality, my personal journey

The Paradigm Shift Happening In Our Humanity This year 2016… core spirituality, my personal journey

In these times of great chaos, confusion, violence, and conflict involving global change we are experiencing a shift in our attention, our very way of perceiving that which is coming to pass. This shift in our awareness is personal and impersonal, individual and collective, and is permeating, in some way, through every aspect of life on this planet. This shift is in our thinking, our feeling,our way of perceiving, and our very cellular bodies and is changing everything.

The shift I am referring to is the spiritualization of our humanity and our world …as we know it.

In a recent post I wrote about the choice to love in 2016, and this idea grows from that one. The spirituality of who we are and how we respond to our daily lives is completely up for a rewrite. I see the human scripts changing everywhere.The interior messages growing within people are those of a spiritual realization about life.

The “spirituality of life” is different in that some of the old ways of handling our difficulties, of facing problems and even how we view evil are transforming in that we no longer are able to sustain our separate notions of difference in the same ways, we are no longer able to sustain many old patterns of belief, our very natures are transforming.

A few of the dynamic changes arising from global spirituality.

We are realizing how we are both different as people… and the same.

We are realizing that what ever action we take in the world has a reaction that returns back to the source of that action.(each one of us)

We are realizing that conflict without spiritual perception is totally futile and only leads to more futility. We are recognizing ourselves in each other in ways that provoke our hearts to open towards greater empathy and we want to help one another more.

Disasters, horrendous events of terrorism, sick and morbid pathological, egotistical governmental decisions are becoming less tolerable to the masses. This is the result of the spirituality possible in these times within each of us to rise up and transform our very actions and reactions.

While we have pathological, psychopathic, egocentric people who suffer from these kinds of traits we also have more numbers of people with whom the spirituality of daily life acts as a buffer to the actions of these individuals and the syndicates, and conglomerates they perpetrate onto the sleeping humanity.

Our own consciousness turning away from participation in unhealthy behaviors, relationships, and our inner turning towards our own individual self-healing and personal growth is actually shifting our world slowly one person at a time. We have power, we have the capacity to learn more, evolve further, choose the appropriate actions as we learn to experience our own individual unique spirituality. As we multiply this force in groups this power increases. We can discover that we are all much much more capable this coming year than we thought ourselves to be!

When I refer to spiritual I do not specifically mean a religion, however there are billions of good people in Muslim, Christian, and Hindu, Jewish as well as many other religions that are activating spiritual principles in their daily lives, and much of these principles are universal to all religions.

Spirituality that is universal is one that is inclusive, and infinite and can speak to any individual walking on any different religious pathway. Ultimately the one universal loving source that exists in all religions is being activated, beyond yet including their respective prophets, leaders or originators. As I wrote in a previous essay, love is love, whatever name one calls it, and where one thinks it comes from. It is what it is.

We can see this clearly because all of life responds to it regardless of the name we call it. A child in any culture will respond to love whether it is called Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Christian or whatever name. A pet will respond in like manner, your pet bird, or dog does not know what religion you ascribe, he only feels the love that is present. ( as within your respective pathway of belief)

Particularly demanding is our response to the negative aspects of life here.

We are all touched in some way by the negative actions of others in this world. Whether this is close at hand in our own home, or distantly from across our vast planet. The spiritualization of the negativity is a very large component of our individual lives and our collective world situation. And we are becoming better and better at how we approach the negative situations we all encounter.

However this work is far from over and our task is still at hand demanding an ever-growing vigilance towards the pitfalls, hurt, and pain that results from our own negativity. The single largest piece of learning in this is how we ourselves choose to respond to our own interior negative experiences. How we handle what we feel negative about matters greatly as our response can accelerate, perpetrate, and increase any form of negativity very easily. In other words we create what we are negative about because we are the ones being negative. Thus how we face the negativity this year will have a substantial outcome on our daily lives as we pass through more of the difficult unfinished business of all our lives. A significant aspect of this negativity is our fear.

Fear on this planet is substantial and our lack of awareness to our own negativity will certainly cause this fear to grow even bigger, more powerful, and with further consequence should we avoid our own negativity on a day-to-day basis. For example I am particularly aware of this because of the experiences I have with family members who are participating in the military. While on one hand I am told and shown how very powerful we are, on the other hand there is the overall fear. It is immense, intense, and yes it is scary. It is scary to the point of pure justification on a scale that is almost more than I can actually comprehend in any one setting. However it is a “real” thing for all these people…. this fear. How I choose to react feeling all this when I am totally in the midst of it could either increase it more, or stop with me. Even though I am one small person, I choose not to allow myself to engage in those levels of belief about fear. I do not carry that fear away with me whenever I leave those circumstances, in fact I increase love. Within my own family I also have a dear precious Muslim person and I have been made well aware of the fears that arise when this persons relatives come to visit. Just walking down the streets is quite a spectacle of discomfort at times with the reactions of those we encounter as we walk along. How I choose to face this when we are walking makes a difference, and I know how truly loving these people are on a personal basis. The issue is the fear and how do we face it?

How we choose to process fear inside each of us had much consequence in our lives, and a deeper introspection may be helpful. Small fears, medium fears, then the bigger fears. My intention is to take more time to take apart my own fears and dismantle their hold over my personal life in any way I can muster. I know that how I choose to face fear has consequence… and that there are many probable outcomes to the many choices we each have in conquering that which makes us uneasy.

Evil is another aspect of our lives with which we must face. How we face this also had many pathways. As more and more evil is revealed in this world we are having to face it. Face that which we hate, despise, and usually ignore. This too is subject to spiritualization as I know I can react by hating more, and increasing the disharmony I feel, or I can choose to face evil with the power of a more balanced positive and yes even loving stance. I know this for I have had occasion to personally address evil face to face in my life, I have watched it recoil in the face of my lack of fear to it. And my willingness to address it in my life or to allow myself to become engaged in their evil ways. We have much still to learn about our reactions to evil and what is and what is not appropriate in the way of our reaction.

There is spirituality in conflict.

How we see conflict beyond right or wrong, is apparent once we allow our spirituality to guide us through the opposing points of view. World problems that are conflicting in nature are actually holding many spiritual problems that need to be addressed. When we open ourselves to the idea that problems are spiritual we open ourselves to much richer possibilities for restoring and balancing these situations because we are finally dealing with the real problems… the spiritual ones masked by the conflicts.

For example the levels of powerlessness, oppression, servitude, abuse, and personal violence that ensue from these scenarios are the real spiritual problems for people suffering all over the world.

Lack and privilege mask the spiritual problem of greed and egotism on a very disharmonious level everywhere for so many individuals.

Once we can learn to respond with a more spiritual nature to these world-wide problems we will lower our need to use military solutions of “power over” and might, domination and suppression to alleviate these situations.

Spirituality has such tremendous power in it to overcome because the source of the spiritual nature is infinite, contains the perseverance, the desire to understand more, and willingness to work through the difficulty. Instead of stamping everyone and everything with power alone.

Our ignorance about ourselves and each other is bridged whenever we choose to seek out the spiritual nature of our relationships. Withholding and distancing actually become too uncomfortable whenever we allow ourselves to connect with what really is spiritual in our human dynamics. The fears we place on one another begin to drop and the desire to build bridges of understanding start to form. And though at first this is all very uneasy, and can become even sloppy, when there is a spiritual intent behind any action, that action is received differently. I know this for I have worked with it for a life time. Our capacity to unlearn our preconceived ideas about our differences is softened as we open ourselves to our spiritual nature.

As we practice the letting go of fear and negativity a unique form of spirituality will develop. It may be called by many different names. Whatever those names that level of spirituality in any situation will be felt by those involved and begin to transform any circumstance. One does not truly discover this for themselves until they have actualized this, perhaps several times. It is a remarkable experience and is a deeply satisfying expression of core spirituality.

When There is a Choice…. Choose Love in 2016….. core spirituality, my personal journey

What makes a difference in every outcome, every conflict, every confusion, and all stale mates?

What generates surprising new outcomes, impossible new openings, and brings connection?

What supports, strengthens, and engages in us beyond our “thought-out” possibilities?

What brings calm inside us, and opens the doors of further understandings?

What lifts us out of boredom, mediocrity, selfishness, and self-deception?

What will redirect our lost and angry voices, our deeply sad unfinished business?

What will urge us to seek new solutions, and open our hearts to possibilities beyond every imaginable conundrum, problem, and unanswered question inside our common human condition?

What will sooth the hard edges of our torn and wounded emotions, our painful memories, our childish insistence on suffering?

What will force us to let go when we are holding on for dear life to those we love, those who hurt us, and those whose ideas are no longer fitting to a world filled with so many unanswered questions?

What brings an understanding to the most resistant, the hidden, and lonely ones of this world?

What will bring courage when there has only been fear and cowardice?

What will bring song when there has only been angry bellowing?

What will make a long dark night worth living?

What will sustain you when nothing, absolutely nothing else is left?

What will make an idle soul take action when before there was only lazy idleness?

What will raise a child to honor him or her self, and bring this honor to our world when nothing else will?

What will stretch the impossible short-sighted vision of ignorance and suffering to realize it is time… time to move beyond all the craziness?

What will heal the bloody effects of the violence we throw at one another and begin to seal the wounds of pain and injustices?

What will cause a meek and mild man or woman to rise up, to make their voice heard and to stop submitting, stop being abused?

What will force a hand in life to extend to another instead of grabbing for all he can get?

What will open the way for truthfulness to be seen, heard and felt in the midst of all deception, lies, and subversion?

What will make room in my world for the light of this truthfulness to grow inside us when so many, so much around us succumbs to darkness?

What will turn off the noise of endless television, cell phones, and demented media propaganda’s?

What acts as an anchor when everything is leaving us, changing around us, and the life as we know it is disappearing moment to moment? When systems, and programs crumble right before our very eyes?

What sustains us when we realize our religion no longer holds enough of the truth of our very life experiences?

What is it men in power fear most, women know works, and exists in the very heart of any situation?

What is it that lies within the heart of every man, woman, and child, every flower, every animal, and the entire design of creation that we turn our backs and refuse to see, feel and engage ourselves?

What lies within your enemies, is hidden by their taking sides, and knows only of the absence of your choice to understand?

What is the one choice that every person can make that will bring about the solutions, the answers, the new directions, the power, the possibility, the courage to change, transform, and heal the human circumstance of global suffering, mass injustice, global poverty, global war and mass killing?

It is my friend , the choice in any singular moment of my day,

a realization of my ability to choose,

and the action of choosing to love.

And to bring this choice of love where it is not.

There is no force more powerful, more sustaining or more surprising than love.

Love is a force to reckon with in case you have never tested these waters. Love will turn you around, put you upside down, and rearrange you like nothing in this universe will do. Love will pull you out, expose your darkest secrets, and open your most painful wounds. Love will show you your most horrendous fear, your worst enemy, and your deepest sorrows.

Love will bring your secret tears to flow upon your cheeks, will reveal your innocence like nothing else on earth. Love will make you hope and keep you strung out when you have lost it all and want it all to end.

Love will bring you more possibility than any other quality in this universe and will lead you to your first new steps of discovery.

Love will loose your tightest grasp, your most angry voice, your deepest held secrets so you can learn how to be free.

Love will open the doors, illuminate the darkened halls of your unknowing like nothing ever did before.

Love will answer your calls when absolutely no one on earth will.

Love will give you reason beyond reason, direction when there is none, and purpose when there has been absolutely no purpose.

Love is intelligent beyond the wisest man, the holiest of the holy, and the greatest of any one person.

Love is for everyone and works all sides, so to realize its place in your life will cause you to stop it. To stop taking sides and unify with your brothers and sisters, your fellow creatures, your entire physical world.

Love will produce for you out of nothing, it is unlimited in resources and endless in its insistence in your life.

Love is calling within you, outside you, around you.

Love was beckoning all along, is resounding now, and most likely will call through you in your future.

Love is omnipresent, omniscience, and without beginning or end. It is the way, though in this world it goes by many names besides love. Love is love, never the less!

When you do not recognize love at your door, it will surely knock again, and keep knocking at your heart till you answer, love is relentless beyond your wildest imagination. Love is a real force, a real substance, ask any mother, or any child.

When you least see love, feel love, and know it not…This is your time. It is your time to choose it. To choose love when you least would do so. Love is like this for us all.

Love is known by every heart, yet given in parts and pieces, with conditions and circumstance. For this reason… that it is truly known in each person, that it knocks and beckons without end till you die and go to your grave, love will be there. And after too.

Love is not just the folly of fools, that kind of love is only a taste, love in its purest form is powerful beyond any spoken word. Love has this capacity for it speaks to everyone, no matter their language.

That you forget love is only temporary, your suffering heart will always deliver you back to its door. To learn that love is what your really are, were always meant to be, and is what your being was created out of.

That love exists inside you as you, unique you. Love your self, for you are that.

That love that is connected to all of creation. Let love reveal you to you.

Love is never quite what you imagined, so prepare yourself for love’s presence in you as you.

Love….Do not underestimate the smallest of your choices this year, Remember just as a mighty oak begins with a tiny acorn, so too does the smallest choice to love lead to most mighty of circumstance.

How We Give Power to our Emotions Without Being Aware, core spirituality, my personal journey

How We Give Power to our Emotions without being aware, core spirituality, my personal journey

Healing the negatives in our lives.

When we hold back and stuff emotions inside us we carry around these feelings and they are the vibrations that grow and shape our subconscious, our internal health… and the way our cells reproduce.

Contrary to the idea that if we ignore, hide, delude, or “forget”, we give more energy and power to feelings whenever we contain them. They do not go away.

Our physical bodies, and our minds hold on to the feelings and this results from prior intentions of escapism and denial or overwhelm, which are actual forms of energy.

Emotions and feeling as forms of ENERGY.

The energy we produce by resisting our feelings actually gives more power to those feelings.

We often do stuff emotions in different phases of our lives.

And so it goes we can have an inner child that stuffed emotions, an inner teenager, an earlier young adult version, all in our past still stuffing feelings. Even after we have learned not to do that as adults. These emotions linger inside us from previous unconscious growing phases that we have lived out already. This can show up in the form of memories, difficult conflicts that were left unresolved, victimization experiences, and any form of toxic emotional manipulation or mind control by people close to us.

Ways unexpressed emotions, stuffed feelings, and denial take shape in our now-adult lives.

The power our feelings have does not stop because we choose not to look at them, often these unresolved emotions transform into all manner of physical, mental and emotional shielding, defense mechanisms that become habit, mysterious body aches, and many forms of sickness that have all manner of allopathic medical diagnosis. Without emotional depth and maturity, emotional integrity, emotional awareness, and emotional strength our feelings take shape inside us and redirect the course of our lives in surprising ways THAT TAKE AWAY FROM OUR SENSE OF BALANCE AND EQUILIBRIUM AS ADULTS.

As a transpersonal hypnotherapist I learned how all of this is absolutely true. I learned by witnessing clients, and how stuffed emotions, left untended can destroy the full capacity of a human being to live a fruitful, open-minded, healthy existence. And so when I encounter the unhappy state of many body symptoms which are presented to me as a massage therapist I often encounter unexpressed emotions in clients.

One reason we can contain our emotions!

Unexpressed emotions are waiting, held in time, within us as a component of our ability to handle difficult situations, or unacceptable ones until a time that we can process. No one wants to go to the dentist who is horribly angry from a difficult confrontation that occurred earlier that day. So we are able to suspend our feelings in order to deal with them. It is when we habitually deny those feelings, ignore them, and hold on to them that our problems begin to develop. However for children this is a bit different and all of us have the common experience of having grown up through our childhoods.

Children are emotionally important for these reasons.

Children, young teens all feel quite more purely, even if they do not understand what they feel. As children and young adults our little neurological systems, our little physical bodies, and our little minds cannot process many of the adult feelings and emotions that are put upon us. These adult feelings are far to great for a little one. However we live with adults who in their unconscious ways put on us as children, all manner of stories which have elements of emotion and feeling that are completely inappropriate for small humans. The effects of this are felt in the little minds and bodies of children and are a large source of overwhelm, are often not understood, nor are they processed and so they are not even accepted. Adults forget this a lot and lay many overwhelming emotions they are having on young people with the expectations that they can handle this, not so. Overwhelm is the result, and this all plays into the developing person which will all come out later in life in some form of deviation, misunderstanding, brokenness, or physical ailment or all of the above.

It is all too common for a child to grow and never process an overwhelming emotional scenario. When this occurs splits in the emotional body are created that as adults will confuse. Often these emotions seem to be without cause, only in that the conscious grown adult has little or no memory, or past experience in completing the processing of the original situation.

It takes some digging, some self-reflection, and a deepening of self honesty to allow the full expression of past pains, conflicts, and emotional scars to surface so they can heal. For this reason stuffing emotions carries a promise of future inner work that one day will solve the puzzle of the emotional turmoil, and mysterious malingering body aches of the present day adult.

Healing our feelings is not subject to a time line.

In all truthfulness we only have our now moments, and we can access any past incident by bringing up to our now moment. Regardless of the amount of time that has passed from an original emotional incident, my experience has been that the inner child can still feel, still process, and still heal completely as an adult. In my own case l learned to have the mantra….”its never to late to have a happy childhood!” as I learned to allow my inner little boy, my inner teenager, and my inner young adult self to be able to have permission to FEEL MY FEELINGS!

Thus using the power of my present day adult self to give back to my inner child selves all the opportunities to express my feelings and emotions. No matter how painful, horrible, unhappy, unjust, or miserable they were. I found that as I allowed myself to feel, feel more deeply now, many of my own unresolved emotions came bubbling up to the surface of my life to be reexamined and accepted in a new light. I continue to have a happy childhood now, and this is just great. There is no time limit on that either!

Perhaps the reason so many people are reluctant to allow themselves to FEEL DEEPLY, is because of the loaded subconscious memories, or emotions, or an overwhelming single event that still is hidden deep inside.

The fear that originally caused the overwhelming feelings, and the stuffing of emotions is a significant component to being able to allow ourselves access to the emotions.

Those old voices of parents, teachers, coaches, and other authorities that were in our lives are still locked into our emotional bodies and continue to play over and over and over again. The fear that holds us back acts as a container inside us.

Face the fears , we must.

For this reason when we do find that we have elements of fear it is valuable to open the fear in our “now safe” way. For originally there may not have been a “perception” of safety and so the fear surrounded the original experience inside us. Facing that fear around any unacceptable emotion or feeling is the first step in learning to grow out of the limits of a fear based reality into the wide open space of personal freedom and self-expression. This develops immense integrity and opens our feelings to having the possibility of maturity. Maturity of emotions is the soul goal here.

Integrity and emotional maturity is the result of fully processing any unfinished business within ourselves. As the pieces of our broken understanding, our broken self images, our broken story lines begin to come together in new ways of seeing.

Often we will have to engage more heart with ourselves to be able to pass through the dark hall of fear that leads to our emotions.

This self-love that develops brings such a depth of integrity to any past unloved situation that the transformation is remarkable. It is completely true that a person can heal themselves long after any incident of broken heart-ed, miserable pain has occurred. This is another reason why it is so valuable to realize that when we ignore emotions we are actually making them grow stronger, even though we “think” we are doing the opposite.

Deep unresolved difficult emotional patterns that wreak havoc on our lives.

Having done many years of my own personal resolution, healing my feelings, and my work with clients seeking to heal the really difficult emotional patterns, I have come to be aware that as souls we have emotional themes that we are born here to live through and to work out. These soul purposes can have very dark, uncomfortable, painful emotional depth. Often a person will wonder why they have been born into such circumstances that would cause them such pain, or the question “why me” surfaces. For these reasons it is also wise to consider that there may be a soul reason for all this.

Soul growth is real.

That our souls know this earthly domain is a place where we may explore the very depths of emotion is the powerful side to acceptance here for emotional integrity. The soul that we are chooses the time, place, circumstance, and people to be involved in out “growth experience”. We then incarnate into the situations that are most closely aligned with the emotional experiences we are here to encounter. We allow this from our more open soul selves before incarnating where we are vastly more wide open. After we embody here and begin to develop a personality we encounter these emotional situations as part of our individual soul plan. From what I have observed, we do this because our lives are so short in most embodiments here that we are not able to always complete every emotional theme we begin. Thus we incarnate into many lives so that our intention to understand and learn from specific emotions become complete. Which leads me to previous life emotional patterns.

We are born with tendencies of all kinds. Many of which are the tones of feeling we carry into our lives as newly incarnated beings. We continue these emotional themes so that we can continue to learn until such time as the soul self is whole and complete in the understandings of the particular theme. For this reason we change places in our different embodiment’s and play the different roles pertaining to any one emotional theme. In one we are the perpetrator, another we are the victim, in still another we may be the therapist. We can be the husband one time, the wife another, and the friend in still another. As we go around the experience we gather every side of it and the soul is infused with knowledge, understanding and is more as a result. This is why some lives we see people who are the victims, yet without the soul sight, we do not see their purpose in the role they are suffering. The soul self is seeking to balance itself through each experience.

All this is particularly true with the really difficult emotional themes. Our souls are actually not just starting out at the beginning of the this life time. The soul has been working on these emotions for many lives and is still intent on getting the whole picture. So even in victim-hood there is an underlying soul reason unfolding. Because patterns are so strong and so deep inside us we use these many lives to learn how to embrace all the feelings that make up an emotional pattern.

Emotional patterns contain many feelings.

Because emotional patterns have many feelings we will revisit emotions many times. It is pretty common for a person to say… “I thought I already took care of this” when a feeling resurfaces, or a situation reappears.

Not so… for actually there are more feelings in the pattern seeking to be understood and processed. For this reason we repeat, and have many encounters with certain emotional themes. There are layers of feelings inside us that need our attention and we are simply dipping down into another layer of those feelings so we can address what those feelings are and learn to accept and take care of more of what our experiences offer us. In this way we become whole and eventually we heal.

I know this from personal experience because I have arrived at that point when a particular emotional theme is complete and my need to experience it is finished. The feeling of completion is ecstatic, unquestionable and always transforms my entire person in some way. Transforming my life experience so that I attract totally different, new, and better situations. My heart and depth of love, as well as my compassion and self understanding becomes immensely more open. And my knowledge of life becomes something that I cherish, rather than ignore, hide from, or delude myself. I feel a deep gratitude, even though I may have suffered. The gratitude replaces all the suffering.

How we give power to our emotions without knowing it is what happens when we ignore, stuff, or delude our selves, how we give power to our emotions be becoming accepting and willing to process is the other choice. We all go through them all.

Denial….. Our Own True Greatest Enemy…Breaking Out of Our Shared Agony, core spirituality

Denial….. Our Own True Greatest Enemy…Breaking Out of Our Shared Agony, core spirituality

The media of our times, elements of the religiosity of our times, the political climate of our times is messaging us daily about who and what our enemies truly are with a speed, and tone that overrides the intellect and is so pervasive that the group begins to accept many of the pointers… the talking heads and we lose sight of the genuine enemy that underlies, undermines our core life experiences.

Our own internal denial shapes our innermost intimate and valuable places, beyond any outer person, group, or ideology.

Denial is considered one of the most primitive of the defense mechanisms in human beings psychologically. Denial is one of the pervasive of all human traits and is more common that we think. Denial is both insidious and blatant with a wide spectrum in between. Denial is so common that we usually project it on to others without a single thought.

Our world culture is swimming in it like fish in water. (well worth pondering)

What is denial in its many forms?

Denial is the refusal to, the ignoring of, the looking away from, the hiding of….. truth from ourselves AND OUR LOVED ONES, and the world around us. The truth of our innate, honest, spiritual nature. Our cosmic bearings as spiritual beings having a human experience. A universal truthfulness and all that this contains for us as a species, as individuals.

When denial has become normalized.

Denial is so covert that the manner in which it is passed on from one generation to another is considered normal and healthy. Sanctioned by people in just about every walk of life! Sanctioned and perpetrated by many places in society, education, religion, government,military, science, ad infinitum.

Our churches, schools, parents, our global soldiers, our governments, our politicians, our teachers, our scientists, are exercising massive forms of cover up which prevent the actualization of world peace, global harmony, world understanding, and then perpetrate victimization and violence on a scale of such magnitude that our entire planet is covered in separation, delusion, and mayhem, with massively dangerous weapons and all manner of killing capability.

We now seem to consider this dangerous situation one that is normal?

What we have now is…

Collectively we are a body of individuals gathered together merging our ideas based in all manner of denial and producing a world that is about to get some big wake up calls. We are reaching a zenith in our self-made agony. It is not over yet. There is still more to learn about our human experiences.

The NORMAL ways we are programmed to use denial.

We use denial to refuse each other in so many ways in efforts to control outcomes, to control people and this is covertly done under the guise of every conceivable excuse and reasoning.

We refuse to honor so much so …that it is intrinsically universal about us as a species instead choosing to repeat our mental and emotional habits of separation, differences, creating all manner of classicism, righteousness, superiority in almost every sector of society we literally deny the reality of how we have so much in this world for so many. It is time we stop pretending!

What can I do about this horrendous, insidious, negative, violent situation?

I learn how to accept and process all my own denials in any form I discover and I hold this as a valuable component of freeing my own spiritual self on a day-to-day basis.

Holding beliefs on their own , talking a good talk does not replace the actualization of facing and process denial.

Perhaps the most powerful place to start when choosing to consider denial and its power over us in life is to begin to identify how we use self-deception, self-delusion, and self-denial as normal ways to navigate through the uncomfortable scenarios inside us. There is no greater way to stop the insidious activity of denial… then by cleaning up denial inside myself.

This creates a space of integrity whereby anyone living in denial will not have a willing participant to go along with them and the chain of toxic behavior ceases or go away. I cannot change you…. I CAN CHANGE MYSELF!

The negative feeling we have about the world, what goes on around us? These are actually our own unprocessed emotions, thoughts and feelings. All inside the self…and reflect to us valuable signals about how it is we are, one by one, creating this world.

When we choose to remain present in the face of difference, in the face of opposing points of view and to see clearly where our enemy is we stop the projecting of our denials. ( the real enemy of us… within )We open our capacity to realize how easily my own unspoken and unconsciously held issues are anchored in beliefs of righteous projection and I stop this with my intent. The action of genuine processing of denial increases self honesty, which aligns my person with the core spiritual self in often surprising new ways.

What happens when I let go of self-delusion, denial ?

When denials fall away I am left with pure consciousness of my own spiritual essence and this informs me far beyond man-made rules, obligations, dogmas, religious beliefs, and so on. That we each are made of a substance which is the same is a startling experience when we have long believed we are all separate and limited by the beliefs we have energized through our inherited ancestry, or our socialization process growing out of the parental frameworks.

My experience has been in my own family of pulling away, as I no longer felt the impulses to feed myself into the accepted norms of denial around me. Not playing by the game, by agreements has often created distance between people. As I have learned to stop my own actions of distancing myself because I no longer participate in the agendas, beliefs, and patterns of denial I have learned to hold the space for togetherness even as we are different, when ever I can muster up this within myself I am surprised by the capacity I am able to remain in a state of mutual respect without the agreements that we socially put on one another.

My own capacity to embrace whatever I may not agree with is surrounded by a grace like form of compassion and deeper understanding which drops in to replace the old patterns. This is one of the main reasons for doing the work of clearing out my own self deceptions, delusions.

This heals misunderstandings, pathology of all kinds, and in so doing opens my heart mind to wider spectrum’s of genuine love….. truly an amazing experience. One that a person cannot truly hold inside themselves until they have done this internal work.

This is the process of “waking up”. Waking up to what it is I am investing my thoughts, feelings, and actions that no longer serves the greater whole. Nor does it align with core universal spirituality. I experience both the awful feeling of deflation of ego, and the awesome upliftment of fantastic spiritual AHAA’S. My person goes through transformations that redesign and realign me with much broader spectrum’s of life. And this feels much better to me. Staying “asleep” or unconscious has begun to feel uncomfortable and my life themes are taking on whole new vision and energy. None of this is possible through the action of projecting my beliefs, ideas, or notions of what is right onto anyone else, any group, any family member. It just has to arise from within self to work and to become long-lasting and uplifting.

As a spiritual being having a human experience it is my perception that we take on all these illusions, delusions, deceptions as part of the current human agenda for each lifetime. This is not intrinsically a bad thing.

It is our classroom for learning as we sort out identity, and direction.

To judge others because they are locked into their beliefs, and their stories of pain and suffering does nothing but hold them in those boxes. something I do not want to do to anyone.

Thus I shift the emphasis on changing them, and the world by changing my self, and my world.

This works much, much better and generates real long-lasting transformations.

For this reason I am on vigilant watch inside me, to make sure I catch my own projecting, my own judgmentalness, and my own limiting negativity.

It is really a very arduous task indeed. It is so commonly accepted to blame others, to point the fingers toward another, to malinger in pain and sadness, to stay in a sleepy victim state. For this reason I spend time with myself in silence, in nature, and I take time to meditate. While I grow my own stronger personal spiritual sense of myself beyond the maddening crowds, lost souls, talking heads, medical authorities, political manipulaters, social critics, bigoted religious leaders and so on. It is simply no longer worth my time or my energy to give in to them any longer. It simply is not.

THE BIGGEST CLUE I FOUND TO HEALING ANY FORM OF DENIAL I AM UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT IN A PERSON, GROUP OR THE WORLD?

When ever i recognize denial in any form around me and think it belongs to some one else, or group or place in the world…. i turn it around and find what it is in myself i am in denial about. Every time i do this and take care of me i lift another piece of madness out and away from the place i exist. The action is always to go inside self using the clues.

Acceptance without agreement leads to a new paradigm of living… core spirituality, my personal journey

Acceptance without agreement leads to a new paradigm of living… core spirituality, my personal journey

Whenever we can hold an open space of acceptance in the face of opposing views with genuine goodness and resist being judgmental we generate a third space between us. The field of space that is generated by opposing views is still very connected and the typical dynamic of separation ceases. We become connected in the awareness of separate visions yet common ground as a dominant dynamic of social behavior.

We are all living out being our human selves. Our shared humanity becomes the next focus of our action. Instead of me versus you, or me versus the world.

When we can embrace opposing views in this way we activate a kind of intelligence which is larger than the polarity of our differences.

This other kind of intelligence arises from the common ground of our shared experience and makes room for the differences while maintaining connection with one another. This intelligence becomes a new place from which to view ourselves and our thinking, beliefs, and what it is that may need to be understood with greater depth and clarity. Without this intelligence we remain in a kind of personal and collective stand-off with one another that locks the differences into their polarities and perpetrates limitation and unresolved feelings. This is futile as it prevents the next octave or level of awareness from rising out of the differences. Stale mates, confusion, aggression, misunderstandings, and violence grow and become the outcome.

When we can psychically, mentally, and with our sense of inner presence allow another who is not the same as ourselves the same respect and honor, as spiritual beings having a human experience we open to new paradigms of intelligence that will find the solutions, understandings, meanings, and significance of our differences. This psychic space which is a third zone of perception maintains continued dialogues in ways that deepen any opposing points of view revealing material, and information previously unknown and certainly unexpected. In this way we ignite intelligence in new ways that bring new discovery. There is almost always more to learn, to understand, and to process in any conflict, opposition, or difference amongst ourselves.

The dangerous habit of shut down, and learning to find this in myself.

I’ve learned about myself that it is simply a mindset, a human behavior to shut down when ever a powerful opposing view is expressed to my own. Shutting down and the hidden feelings of judgment sit just below the surface of my own thinking and acting.

This is a common pattern among us as humans. Turning away our attention because someone may express something so different from ourselves.

I find that I have even diminished my own self expressions as a result of these kinds of interactions. My own human behavior limits me and in this way I stay in self perpetrated separation with others.

Dwelling upon this dynamic is quite enlightening and reveals tons of human behavior patterns that ultimately end up creating negative situations. Negative situations in our own minds and bodies and in the world around us.

This is all self-generated by each of us as we participate unconsciously and habitually to another person or group differences.

We can see this pattern in people practicing many religions,

people from different life styles,

people of different colors,

people with different political views,

people in different social classes,

people from different cultures,

people who eat different foods,

people who adhere to scientific theories,

people who work in different sub categories of life,

people who simply dress differently, have different hair styles, it grows to levels of stupidity…. really.

The universal impulse to belong.

In our culture belonging is socially significant and a primary universal experience encoded within us, so anyone who is of color, has a different culture from ourselves, has a different lifestyle, loves someone of a different gender, or even changes their gender are all subject to the negative effects of separatist, or non inclusive socialization in the larger group. I have lived with this my entire life as a gay identified man and know just exactly what I am speaking about.

The remarkable outcome of directly opposing points of view.

The remarkable possibility that arises from oppositions, especially directly opposite ones is how they actually arise out of the same source thought yet are the polarized differences to the furthest spectrum of the idea. I have found how this literally will show me the many facets of any one situation with detail, as from one end to the other of a spectrum there is the whole picture.From the very positive to the very negative. So all the people who are in separation because of their religious beliefs, really they are all stemming from their ideas of Source, or ultimately God. They have this in common and express the widest possible notions of difference in how to perceive this one thing.

When ever I encounter people expressing their differences I like to say to myself, “just wait” because whenever one person breaks out of their shut down side of opinion, this third level of awareness automatically pops up and suddenly they are able to see another view, while perhaps not agreeing. The next step is to embrace the person or group anyway and hold out for the option to connect anyway. I have practiced this many times in my life.

When I learn to remain open to differences, and even direct oppositions I most likely find myself learning something valuable. I typically learn how to drop my own preconceived ideas based in some form of my own judgments. My place of understanding stretches beyond my previous held convictions. While this does not always lead into agreement it does lead into mutual respect, honor, integrity, understanding, and even love.

We as humans in our society for the most part have all been repeatedly educated in a common way, indoctrinated in similar ways, and we form habits out of these places. When we cultivate acceptance in the face of disagreements and stay open we shorten the gaps between ourselves as people and groups and shift the paradigm of human belonging from the old style of exclusive to inclusive.

This generates a kind of harmony within. Inclusiveness actually feels good the more we learn to enlarge upon this in our lives. The common ground we share becomes highlighted in delightful ways and as socialized beings we receive feelings of goodness in ourselves and for one another. I have reached this many times in difficult situations where I let down my own prejudices, and beliefs which contained hidden messages of … “my ideas are better than yours”. I have found this is not always true, and besides not all people actually are in the same place at the same time in their awareness of anything. Divisiveness becomes something that I no longer want to participate in and I realize how silly I may have been. I stop projecting onto others my own separation. I take responsibility for myself and this responsibility carries weight and substance in this third field. A weight and substance that holds “we” and not just “me”!

Are  problems in our world associated with our differences which can turn into pure oppositions? Yes, and to inwardly continue to live at odds with others from inside myself no longer feels good.

I find how this begins to lighten.

And I don’t find myself having to, or automatically reacting to the news, to the radio, to anyone else in the same way. I find myself accepting that in our world everyone is learning, whether they realize it or not. I do. So I can move on and live my life caring, and compassionate in this world full of so much incredible, awful, awesome, magnificent diversity. Acceptance without agreement is possible.

Mutual respect,

Caring,

universal understanding,

connection,

and intuitive learning all arise as we learn to move to the next level in our human relationships.

The Statute of Limitations Has No Bearing on Truth… core spirituality, my personal journey

The Statute of Limitations Has No Bearing on Truth… core spirituality, my personal journey

Statute of limitations as a metaphor.

The statute of limitations with which we normally use as a means for justice does not apply to living one’s truth. Truth has no limitations in this way.

I realized that for me to fulfill myself as a spiritual being having a human experience it is absolutely necessary to live out my story. Living out the story of our lives carries with it UN-imagined new directions that sustain and fulfill the experience of being alive in deeply satisfying ways. This is learning to live the fullness of my story here on earth for the time I have to live it.

The world is a living story each day.

Every person on earth is living a story of some kind that has elements of intrigue, mystery, happiness, sorrows, surprise, deception, deceit, challenges, growth and evolution. These being only a few of the many themes available to us. Within the experiences of these stories we have interconnections, overlaps. Intersections, oppositions, and for many no end to the story. We have the story of all of us together as our planetary story.

What’s your story? What chapter are you in?

Whatever story we have to live with… we have cycles within that story, or we could say chapters to our stories. In reflection it occurs to me that I have a few stories that have yet to be completed.

I stopped.

I stopped living out my story.

And everything up to that point, unfinished still rides with me where I am. Where I go, whomever I am with regardless of my attention or acknowledgment. This is almost as if I had put a statute of limitations on my self, and my story and how it might go. And this does not feel very good!

When truth hits the fan, so to speak.

When I encounter truthfulness as in a realization, or a new perspective then my story is affected, and sometimes I come up against an unfinished theme or direction. This is the path of becoming consciously aware. Up to this point as aware as I may have become there is still plenty more to learn, plenty more to realize. (realize = make real) When truth hits the fan we encounter the limits we have placed both on ourselves, each other, and this very world we live.

When living out our stories we reach places where we must make real what we have realized by taking action with the new awareness.

That is to say, not holding a new idea in without applying this idea in some place in our story line.

This why and how repeating feelings, repeating people, repeating situations will occur for us.

We are receiving experiences with which we may apply ourselves differently using our new-found awareness. This is the truthful living of one’s full experience. Carrying out our story line into and through truth as we come to know it. Without it we are sustaining unfinished stories. We become prisoners of our own statute of limitations.

Hey… the statute of limitations is NOT written in stone!

The statute of limitations is a man-made idea, and we are very good at making up our own ideas of reality, whether they adhere to nature or not. This capacity to override nature with out minds is dangerous. We can learn to use our mind’s ideas and rules to discover the good and the bad of what we have made. Good when we are able to use this to stabilize ourselves aligning in truth aligning with nature, and bad when we do not. Our rules, the ones we make up for ourselves, often are inherited, internalized ideas from our story lines… our families, our schools, the story line of the society we developed within. We live within the artificial boundaries of our made up rules. Not every rule is worth repeating or perpetuating.

Reflecting by asking questions within myself.

A reflective thought I ask of myself is “how am I affected by not living out my story?”

“How am I affected by carrying around unfinished personal business?”

“By stifling my unanswered questions. Getting distracted, losing my focus?”

“How am I affected by dramas inside my story for which I have yet to discover meaning and purpose?”

“How many people have I yet to love because of my own statute of limitations on life, my story, on TRUTH itself?”

“How is my physical health affected by limits?”

“My mental health, indeed my intelligence?”

“And what is my soul intention in living here now inside the story I find myself?”

“The statute of limitations we build into our minds, and through which we live our relationships how does this affect the larger picture of my life…of the life of others whom intersect mine?” These questions have a direct bearing on our humanity.

Questions to our humanity. We all have more to our human stories…

These are big questions we are very capable of asking ourselves now.

My humanity feels like it is yielding towards greater and greater openness. I find myself leaning into new territories and if I am , then surely I am not alone in this same way.

We are on a collective wave of asking bigger questions and finding out there is much more, much, much, more to our human story. All our statute of limitations, self-imposed are growing outward, inward as our species is learning.

We are currently physically entering into a vast new field of the cosmos as our planet spins and spirals through new areas of the galaxy. We are all beginning to feel the influx of new information coming to us. We are in dynamic new realizations of personal possibility like we have not been inside of for several thousand years. And we have all the old man-made statute of limitations of centuries with the unfinished business of untold amounts of human dilemmas, and conundrums. We usually call these our “problems”.

What can our problems really bring to us when we live out our stories completely?

These “problems’ just may be the stepping-stones of our best new ideas were we to start finding more of our personal answers in life. As each of us find our answers we bring to our collective a quantum level of awareness that catapults us as a group. When a whole groups gets a new idea, the statute of limitations shift, and we rewrite them. I find this amazing. Life at this moment for the majority of us is still a daily exchange with a mysterious puzzle. Life as a puzzle that calls out to be solved!

Puzzles innately contain answers.

Solving the puzzles of life for each of us diminishes tremendous negativity. And looking around at the horrific state of world events we could use a lot of puzzle solving.

Whenever we transform an unknown into a known we balance the negative we have held towards the positive.

This is one of the great puzzle pieces of life… balance.

Applying balance by using it to find answers in our puzzle.

Balancing our positive and negative life experiences in ways that bring out the CORE TRUTH of our lives. And that TRUTH will always connect, interconnect, support, and strengthen all manner of relationship. However it does require we allow ourselves to shift our statute of limitations and grow, evolve, and reach new levels of personal maturity.

TRUTH naturally has many forms of quality that can always be verified or else it is not a TRUTH. It can be seen to be duplicated, multiplied, reversed, and so on. If not, it is not a TRUTH.

TRUTH is universal and can be applied in many and various circumstances. Can be uncovered from its opposite, untruth. TRUTH has another quality of revealing something.

Truth may hurt, however that is only because of the way we have held that truth. Our own statute of limitations was incomplete in some way.

Looking inside ourselves.

When we look at our own statute of limitations we are looking at our own self-made, and inherited ideas of inner law and the time that we give that law to exist and facilitate our own resolutions. Inner law here referring to our own mind’s ideas of how we conduct the day-to-day existence.

I am speaking metaphorically here. We all create, live by, and sustain an interior realm of law which we act upon with or without thinking. We all carry silent rules, silent justices, and ways of behaving. We all create time lines for whatever is happening, even when we forget, and malinger in the unfinished business of living out our stories to completions. Analysis of these internal worlds we carry is up for reexamination, review, revision. I am referring to the jurisdiction of what is going on inside each one of us here on the planet. Our inner worlds.

The greatest story ever told is the one you live. We need to discover this… each of us!

When we resolve our stories, and learn to analyze our rulings with regard to our thoughts, actions, emotions, behaviors and revise what is not working, or is unfinished, or yet to be discovered ( as in a yearning or longing yet to be lived out) we manage our inner world and this will directly shift our outer one. Person by person.

We are all so much more capable of expanding our consciousness and learning to live more positively, more joyfully and more healthily. We have this because of our innate nature as spiritual beings living out a story called “human being”. We fail to discover the infinite nature of our possibility because we stop ourselves through our own ideas, rules and our lack of knowing ourselves inwardly.

By learning to be reflective and applying attention to what is inside us with a loving forgiving heart we open our potentials, potentials that stay locked and unexpressed because of our own self-created limitations.

We are actually so much more than these limits.

We yearn for our freedoms, yet do not free ourselves.

We love, with condition so we fail to arrive where more of our brothers and sisters are waiting to embrace us.

We make boundaries where there are none all over the world, boundaries that separate people.

Our final conclusion certainly as a species is far more reaching than all of this.

Each generation of human beings takes the boundaries and the limits further. We can see this.

Yet there is today…. and with this day we can learn to choose to fulfill our story.

Day by day building each day upon another we are building the experiences we call “Life”.

We can honor TRUTH by living in that truth as we come to know it.

And……

We are all writing the story of our lives through our choices.

It is a time to choose wisely!

Cores spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Flower of Life, Crop Circle Meanings, and learning to receive the messages, core spirituality

Flower of Life Symbol, Crop Circle Meanings, and learning to receive the messages, core spirituality my personal journey

Symbols have meaning with which we communicate.

We use symbols everywhere in society. We all understand street signs in our different countries, we all have seen mathematical symbols in geometry. We use symbols on our cell phones. Symbols are another form of communication which reach directly into our right brain – hemisphere and then get translated into the language we use by our left brain hemisphere.

We can communicate tremendous amounts of information very easily whenever we substitute a symbol for words.

Symbols have been used to communicate for thousands of years as evidenced through ancient archaeology. Every continent on earth has these symbols located on it. Some of these symbols are unique to the location and time, yet other symbols are universal and are found everywhere on earth predating known human history, one such symbol is the Flower of Life symbol. Burned or laser fashioned into ancient temples, rocks, and caves all over the world.

Dropping the grip of left hemisphere dominance in our perceptions.

As our awareness deepens and our grip is let go from the constant chattering of the intellect, when we attend to the silence and stillness within ….symbols rise up in new and fascinating ways. Symbols begin to take on relevance.

Curiosity develops and the decoding begins.

This is a natural component of freeing the dominant left hemisphere control factor over our human perception. We activate the other hemisphere of our brains and start to integrate more information coming in from our right hemisphere.

The more complex thoughts are readily brought forward by way of the symbolic languages that are universal. Particularly those thoughts that express concepts of reality, how reality is constructed, how it is expressed, how it can be understood in finer detail. Thus when we have opened our minds to symbols we are accessing deeper, more meaningful, complex levels and octaves of understanding. This has been referred to as “higher understanding” by master teachers for centuries.

Symbols can be distorted, reversed and mixed up in ways that confuse the information or redirect/reverse the information that is originally inherent in the appropriate balance. For this reason it is wise to pay attention to symbols around us and how we allow them to inform our awareness.

A question I ask myself is….

Perhaps it might be interesting to ask self, do I even pay attention to symbols? Beyond driving and such if the answer is no, then perhaps I might be spending the majority of my thinking, processing mind in left hemisphere logical thought and missing the other half of what my brain could actually communicate to me. I find symbols expressed in the design of nature, in flowers for example and because I have a hobby of growing orchids I look into their faces all the time and this connects me with the designs inherent in nature. However if you do not spend time in nature then you would be missing an enriching aspect of your mind by remaining in linear logical thought processing all the time. Boo hoo…. this means you miss out on the marvelous designs all around you. Architecture by shape in our world contains tremendous design all of which reflect basic shapes that are the foundations of physical reality. I marvel at the squares, rectangles, triangular shapes and all their intersecting lines when I view architecture around me.

As the conscious awareness opens up and begins to integrate more of the balance of both the right and left hemisphere perceptions, symbolic representations take on greater significance and they begin to grab out attention because of what they communicate. This is a signal that we are developing our holistic thinking, or as some have called it higher mind.

It is with the development of the integration of our whole brain that more and more of life makes sense.

Which is also a signal because if you do not find yourself making sense of chaos, opposites, contrary-ness, and difference then you know that you are not using your whole brain and you are stuck in left brain, linear, logical perceptions most of the time. And you will not be able to break out of the limitations of this style of thinking until you open further into using your right hemisphere.

Reality cannot be embraced in totality through linear logical thought alone.

Read that last sentence again, reality cannot be embraced in totality through linear logical thought alone truly keeps me in an honest level of self understanding and assists me in moving out of linear boxes of my own perceptions.

Perceptions that I have taken on through my own socialization process as a human being.

I know that I am capable of more and so I remind myself of these things. As a result how I perceive has a component of wonder. This wonder is the element of “non-thought” where I suspend my left brain tendency to think long enough to see, deepen, and to feel. This brings in the rest of the data or information relevant to inform me. Then my left hemisphere can translate this in ways that make sense.

This is the opposite way of the world in which scientists, teachers, university programs all teach us to learn. To think our way through life, to deduct and reason our way through problems, challenges conundrums.

This will never work, does not work and is a very limiting way to exist.

We can see the results of this dominant style of perception all around us in that so many systems we have in place do not actually take care of the problems. We have been using only half of our brain capacity. With only half of the results and the multiplication of problems as the result, not the solutions that self sustain and generate genuine solutions. Interesting to ponder, is it not?

For all these reasons I have found a curiosity about this Flower of Life symbol. It is the most ancient symbol found all over the world and our scientists have completely ignored its significance because they are stuck in their left brain perceptions and this just does not fit into their “half brain” (literally) concepts. This symbol is the mathematical representation for the basis of all life on a sub atomic level, and the unification of ONENESS of all life from the sub fractal expression of dynamic space-time inside the proton! MAGNIFICENT!

The same holds true for crop circles. I am intrigued with them. The call out to me. I found myself gazing at them wondering what do they mean since the eighties? Obviously the genuine ones are communications from off planet beings speaking to us in the least aggressive way possible. Symbols in wheat? Pretty safe I’d say.

These images of the crop circles have illustrated the most advanced mathematical principles we currently know. There is even one crop circle that is a response to a binary coded message our scientists sent out into space decades ago. This is remarkable to decode as it directly corresponds with the one we sent out using the same system to communicate their own place and their own information just as we have. Again….MAGNIFICENT!

To open up the mind and start to crack the linear logical dominant thinking I will post several videos here that will discuss these ideas.

The real purpose of wonder.

 

The world of wonder is accessed when we use all of our brains. That means learning to integrate our right hemisphere with our left one.

Wonder is open awareness of what is before you when you suspend thinking and simply take in what is before you.

Wonder is the state of consciousness that brings together the capacity to learn, to learn through that which is initially larger than the thinking mind, and then expanding that thinking mind to greater and greater levels of comprehension and perception by way of accessing the right hemisphere data together with the left.

It is the discovery of existence of a Lady bug and her life in the garden to the stars and their constellations in the heavens.

Perhaps this is what the master teacher Jesus was saying when it is recorded he spoke of being like a little child in order to enter heaven.

To actually see heaven here on earth we must use wonder.

Deep Silence, Stillness and the Infinite Nature of What Lies Within…core spirituality, my personal journey

Deep Silence, Stillness and the Infinite Nature of What Lies Within…core spirituality, my personal journey

 

Today it is easy to come across the word meditation as more humans are becoming drawn to the subject. There are many paths of meditation to learn, many videos on YouTube to follow and lots of material that is free and online to read. However the single most simple technique I have found is to pay close attention to the deep silent, the stillness around me and inside myself.

Teaching myself to disengage from “NOISE”.

This requires the desire to disengage somewhat from the “noise” of our social and work environments, television, and constant technological interaction. I notice the gaps between thoughts, between moments and I touch this deep silence, it touches me, and I return to the stillness there. In these places instead of there being nothing, I find the infinite nature of what lies within this silent stillness.

Teaching myself to be present in the gaps and hesitations. Gaps in the thoughts, the conversations, the waiting in traffic, the walk to the door. We have an untold amount of these moments of stillness and silence to absorb. This is both an internal place and an external one. I am learning to stay connected here and to absorb the place between say… Point A to Point B instead of disconnecting my attention and only staying focused on where I am and where I am going. These are the silent and still places in all our lives.

This world around us can inform us in endless ways when we are open.

In the external place of silence and stillness I am looking outward into the world where ever I may be. I am noticing inside what appears to be empty space between objects there is this amazing other level of reality. There is so much more going on in the stillness than I ever imagined or realized. I have been watching this since I was a little boy. I have learned to stop thinking. To stop paying attention to my thoughts long enough to suspend the chatter that is so easy to distract me from what is before me. In learning how to disengage from mental chatter while I am observing life externally. In this practice I notice that I am in “a simple state of being”. This simple state of being is how I find myself connecting to the outer world in a way that traverses through and into the silent place of being that exists around me. The vacuum in which places, things exist. This is the place of the presence of life.

Our world is filled with Presence.

The presence of life contains not only the surface of whatever we are observing it also contains the components inside, around and connecting it all that make up our observations.

There is presence in all physical reality.

This is the thought of something as it is made manifest into physicality. The thought of an object contains the organization, the design, the origin, the materials within it and behind it…. that make it so. I have a daughter who is an architect who has shared with me the principles of geometry, design, intention and purpose by observing how a building is constructed. I have seen blue prints of the thoughts that created those structures.

As an artist I learned to focus my attention on a subject to perceive it and then to duplicate it in a painting, an etching, a photograph, or a piece of sculpture. In my youth I spent years learning to see as an artist would by noticing every detail that exists on the surface of an object and the light as it interacts with the subject. Learning to be in a pure state of observation is a fantastic challenge and quality that easily can deepen into more which leads the awareness into the deep, the deep silence and stillness that exists in objects, places, people, plants, animals and all of physical creation.

This is the matrix of design that our physical reality becomes a thing, a person or a place.

There is more to what we see than the mere physical surface of all things.

The deeper my internal stillness and silence the more I observe there is to see in ordinary reality.

Inside my own deep silence and stillness is conscious awareness that is a form of presence. The part of me that is watching me when I am watching life. Read that one again… the part of me that is watching me when I am watching….life. This state of presence continues to grow and deepen as we learn to stay present in the moment without thinking. As the state of conscious presence becomes anchored into our daily life more and more the deepening effect to our human self is multiplied in ways that allow our attention to bring in more detail. Thus I become informed on many more levels of perception. It has been my experience that as I learn to integrate silence and stillness more and more and then to learn from the information this brings me, my capacity to integrate more complicated data, or information in many levels increases. Here is an example.

Communion with a tree.

One day decades long past, I was sitting on my front door step in a wooded section of Georgia where I lived at the time looking across the property gazing onto a large tree. I was looking at how tall it was, the breadth of its branches, the place where it was growing out of the ground, It’s roots. I was simply watching it without thought, only noticing it with increasing attention. Suddenly after several moments of enjoying this tree I noticed a glow. I then had a thought, what is that? Quickly I returned back to just watching and I saw it again. There was a beautiful soft bluish white glow inside and all around the tree extending, as I then noticed some more, far beyond the parameters of the branches. I resisted my own tendency to think about it, and chose rather to simply watch. As I did there was an instant within me where I suddenly felt the life force of the tree within myself. As if it had jumped into me or sent me a message. I began to feel the life history of the tree as it had grown to that point. I felt it had joy and it had purpose and I felt how it interacted with the light coming from the sun, and I felt how it’s roots pulled moisture and organic nourishment out of the ground.

I realized after several moments of what I would call communion with this tree that it was an alive being. I knew it had a living presence with intelligence and purpose and that it was interacting with the sky, the light, the ground, and the space around it. It was a single tree and so it had plenty of room to grow, and I knew that it knew that. I observed in that moment of silence and stillness all those things I wrote about in the above paragraphs. I can honestly say I have never been the same.
The new awareness that I learned showed me so much new information that my idea of what a tree is was transformed to a completely new level. I realized a deep respect inside me that transformed into a reverence with all growing things that continues to this day. I even learned that in its own way this tree had a sentience all its own as I had the experience of its communication with me. I was passing through one of the most painful times in my life and suffering the agony of some of life’s most difficult lessons.

When I had this experience I learned from this tree.

I saw from it and felt within myself , as I had this communion experience, the seasons and changes, the reaching and striving, and the fitting place of this life form in a unique personal way… as only this tree could be. This brought my attention out of my pain and refocused me. I experienced this urge to keep going by learning to allow myself to let go, to see the larger picture, and to reconnect with Source. For this tree literally was filled with the ingredients of its source self. This was all together amazing to me. Infinity really does exist within each of us.

When I lifted myself up off that step I was never, ever the same again. I have had untold repeats of this experience since that time as I learned how to engage my awareness to those levels of stillness and silence again and again so as to learn more and more from the environment around me. This might be called active meditation, as I have often wondered. Because my outer world shifted some time long ago and that shift in perception was so like the internal conditions of my meditations that there did not appear to be any separation from the inner and the outer world. Perhaps this is a kind of active meditation, yet really it just feels like another level of conscious awareness that is always integrating and growing with increases of more data leading to more octaves or levels of more awareness.

There is a grounding that occurs… that feels stabilizing and centering that is inside silent stillness.

I know in this place I have both the experience of my physical world and simultaneously the cosmic.

I can see and feel beyond the molecules of physicality, I know that my little human body sitting on this tiny planet is suspended in an infinite cosmic universe inside to my mind , unfathomable space because that space reaches out from infinity far beyond the stars all the way inside my own body and there is no real separation what so ever.

My own world view, and my view of myself has been shifted out of a kind of separation mentality into a connected one as I have felt/observed this way for years. To literally know and experience self as just one more aspect inside all of creation as an integral part of it, like everything else is highly uplifting and normalizing.

This is how and why I call this blog core spirituality, and I identify as a spiritual being having a human experience, and not a human being having a spiritual one. Although it is essentially true either way…. my human self is being spiritually transformed on a daily basis.

Learning form opposites.

Ignore what appears to be empty, ignore the hesitations, ignore the silence, ignore the stillness and what you get is a form of imprisoned human. Fearful and easily lead by forces all around. Without the internal connection to all of life through the infinite doorway of creation inside each one of us. Lost and confused, lingering and malingering in the past hurts of generations of unconscious behaviors. Ignore the silence and stillness and concentrate only on the chattering of your mind, of all the minds around you and see what this gets you. Ignore the possibility of life and focus on your cell phone, the television messages of fear, control, and mindless human behavior. Focus on over working, bringing your self to physical and mental exhaustion day after day… for what? If you have not found the infinite within you what then do you truly have?

Focus on all the distractions calling you and pulling you away from your center, still, silent inner place. And then do you wonder why it is you have not found joy? This is something to truly consider.

And finally is it not true that to see the world thru the eyes of a child is to look with wonder?

And in wonder realize that in this way we  find that all along we were actually all connected.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Infinity is within me….Cosmic Awareness is arriving… core spirituality, my personal journey

Infinity is within me….Cosmic Awareness is arriving… core spirituality, my personal journey

“In the stillness of the core place inside me, there resides the singularity of creation from which all complexities arise…” is how I describe my own experience.

(and this exists inside every atom everywhere )

This means that inside the core of myself in the center of me, there resides the place of creation.

We constantly create. For indeed we are self-generating millions of cells on a daily basis within our physical bodies. We are rearranging the substance of these cells and their contents without even knowing it. The atoms that make up these cells are in a continual state of dynamic spin, dynamic relationship one to the other including the actual space around our bodies. This space that we “think” is empty is not, for it is all filled with atoms which compose our reality and together there is existence that is in constant dynamic relationship, that is actively learning. The very inside and outside of my perception edge is communicating as each one of us and adding to the larger picture of the greater cosmic place. The core self where in lies stillness and singularity gives expression to multiplicity, complexity. Each individual holding a slightly different place in totality. Every atom holding a different place in totality.

( if that is too much to take in… well please take time to reread it.)

This place where everything that is about you or me springs forth as a dynamic expression of Source.

Inside this place we have the capacity to connect with our totality.

From here we can investigate more deeply and not be limited to the outer 5 senses or the mere boundary of our skin. We have inside us the very stuff of creation and here we can access beyond time into the infinite now.

Drawing from many time-lines and many aspects of our personal history as a spiritual being, (an infinite expression of aware self that seeks to have experience so as to know itself). From inside here originates the polarities of Yin/Yang, of male/female, of old / young, of inside and outside and all the dynamic properties of existence. All science, all knowledge, all mathematics, all understanding is “in” this inside place. I know this as I have witnessed many lifetimes in different time-lines and places of my own soul experience, I have seen and understood knowledge that is outside my physical locale. I have moved out of time and into no – time where upon my return I was gone but moments, yet within I was gone for hours. No one can deny me my own personal experiences of this type. This is real and becomes a part of my dynamic lens of perception adding to my sense of the possible, the probable, and the truthfulness of how life is designed and can be checked and rechecked to substantiate and verify anything that I discover along the way of my deepening explorations.

From one there becomes two, into infinity… and so complexity, or creation is birthed.

Consciousness itself has organized until it becomes self-aware, as a duality or “other” in relation to itself or Source. First there being the singular aspect of Source that then created itself again out of itself. This dynamic polarity is at the basis of all life, all physicality, all of the dynamic properties of life share this basis and build upon it into infinite forms of complexity. We can understand this through mathematics and learn how to substantiate and verify our own ideas. We can check and recheck our notions through the balances of how life is designed by understanding life by seeing it in its totality, or wholeness.

The transmutation of self view.

When we learn to recognize that we are THAT … then the paradigm of the self becomes transformed and by transforming our view we transmute our sense of self-identity… we become something all together new. Through the attention to the actuality of self, the truthfulness, the dynamics of creation, math, science, as well as consciousness we pop out of the limited mindsets of our habitual ways of seeing and advance beyond the duality and into the complexity of the inner universe and we do this most easily by remaining very simple.

KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE.

Simple by way of holding awareness open and just perceiving, without so much of the intellectual mind thoughts we can observe life as is. WE DO THIS WHENEVER WE SEE LIFE WITH THE EYES OF WONDER… OF A CHILD. Many spiritual masters have spoken of this for centuries, relating in different ways that we must “go within”, or that the “heaven is within”. The message has been repeated now for many generations and springs forth out of the basis of all the world religions.

Our need is to get a grip on how it is we look at life and notice the lenses we are looking through.

We are learning to see “how” we are seeing and this affects the outcome of our perception. When we move our attentions beyond linear logical thinking alone we gain access to much more information. Transformed out of the notion of the limited physical plane and three-dimensional, left – right brain model and the separate self model,contained in the physical body (that is perceived as disconnected to all other bodies). Transforming the lens of perception through which we learn to see ourselves.

Once this perceptual lens, or bias is penetrated we can observe how what we are made of and who we are is far more than any of us have been taught through the socialization process of being human.

In truth we are consciousness made of the stuff of the ALL THAT IS, or the SOURCE.

We learn to see how what is both inside us and outside us shapes the information that informs our awareness.

So when I look out into the vastness of the glimmering night sky and I face the infinite quality of space I know that this exists inside me just as it does outside me.

There is a continuous verification to my understanding.

There is a continuous loop of information.

There is not only vastness, infinity, and endless possibility in our night sky, it also exists inside each of us.

The outer world confirms the inner one, and the inner one confirms the outer.

In this way truthfulness is verified again and again as creation repeats itself by design.

I am reminded of the quote “As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul…” Hermes Trismegistus

Hermetic law comes from Hermes.

The Seven Principles taught by Hermes Trismegistus

These are the seven principles taught by Hermes Trismegistus, also known as Hermes, the Greek God of travelers/thieves/commerce and the messenger of the Gods. He was also known as the great priest Thoth to the Egyptians.

“….it is understood that these ideas were passed from Master to Initiate for generations, for the purpose of personal growth and with the intention of achieving a greater and deeper understanding of the self, the world and beyond. For the student of religion, philosophy and science, the Hermetic teachings act as the key to tying all of the different schools of thought into one cohesive body of knowledge.”

The Seven Principles of the Universe:

1. Principle of Mentalism: “All is Mind”

2. Principle of Correspondence: “As is above, so is below.  As is below, so is above.”

3. Principle of Vibration: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

4. Principle of Polarity: “Everything is dual; everything has an opposite, and opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.”

5. Principle of Rhythm: “Everything flows, out and in; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left- rhythm compensates.”

6. Principle of Cause and Effect: “Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.”

7. Principle of Gender: “Everything has its masculine and feminine principles.”

I give myself permission to redefine as I learn!

As we redefine our human experiences through daily life, through our AHAA’S, through our inner attention, through our physical world, we can see how easy it is to verify, and substantiate any new discovery. The magnificent design of life is such. The design of life from the spin of the galaxies to the spin of the water going down the drain repeats and verifies itself. We begin to see how the designs of life are everywhere. How they are repeated in simplistic design out into complexities.

Still it is what it is and so there is tremendous force in all this.

Tremendous intelligence, organization.

Physical science reflects inner science.

There is a place where there really is no separation… only the continuous expression of the ALL THAT IS.

Infinity is within me…. yes, just as infinity is outside me. We exist inside an infinite multidimensional reality. The wonder of our child like eyes will show us these things as we allow ourselves to return to simplicity. From the standpoint of this simplicity all complexity unravels and we transform our ways of seeing, and when we transform how we see, we transmute the old self. We learn to grow.

When we learn to grow in these ways we multiply our capacity to generate better outcomes. When we generate better outcomes our individual lives do improve significantly.

Yes we may be a tiny little dot of a person here, however we hold a place that is equal to and relative to all other dots. Every dot of a person is informing the vastness that is. The evolution of a single person really is the evolution of a species. The evolution of a species is really the evolution of a world, and the evolution of a world is the evolution of the universe.

Every person matters.

Every new revelation counts.

All learning contributes to the whole.

The whole of life supports every person, every aspect of life.

We are really expressions of the infinite…. too.

Signs,Symbols and Synchronicity…. core spirituality, my personal journey

Signs,Symbols and Synchronicity…. core spirituality, my personal journey

Finding meaning in everyday normal life.

Symbols and synchronicity took on significant more meaning as my consciousness deepened and I had learned to untangle my own mind from the programming of my youth. Unlearning old patterns and relearning to see in this new way has led me from disconnected, separate perceptions to connecting the thoughts, feelings, events inside and around me. Connected perceptions happen when we “connect the dots” and begin to recognize how events, people, emotions, situations are really all arising out of one another in an unfolding pattern of brilliant interconnection. As the awareness of our attention shifts from belief systems that tell us we are separate… separate from god, separate from one another, separate from happenings, I have learned that none of this is factually truthful, it is ALL connected.

Everything and everyone has a connection in life to everyone and everything else.

How opposites can teach us.

For example I learned in geography class as a boy child that the oceans on the map separate all the continents of the world. This left me with the feeling of distance and separateness between places all over the world. When I moved to Hawaii I learned from local people in my ocean outrigger paddling that the oceans connect us from one place to another. That the ocean is the “highway” where we are able to meet one another and connect. This was the exact opposite idea I had lived with for over 40 years and I was astonished as I felt the energetic shift inside myself when I saw how oceans connect us all instead of separating us. The design of life is paradoxical in that we may appear separate, yet we are not. These are matters of perception and the energetic shifts that follow as a result shape future contact with new experiences.

Going past the surface and living deeply.

Symbols take on more meaning as we learn to connect the dots of our awareness and observe how symbols everywhere are placed in such a way so as to inform the conscious mind and more importantly the subconscious mind. These symbols are massively used in advertising medias, sciences, mathematics, communications, and many other areas of our society. We use symbols to convey a meaning without the use of a word, a meaning which may have many words to describe the significance of the symbol. In other words one symbol could relate the context of an entire book, or period of history. The use of the symbol of the cross pulls up such info to many people in this way. Bringing loads of information far beyond the symbol script itself.

These symbols speak both to the left and to the right hemispheres of the human brain. The left hemisphere being one of language and the visual recognition , the right brain brings context and meaning and depth of feeling to any one symbol. Our brains store this information both ways inside us.

How we become lost in the soup of our humanity.

When we lose sight of the significance of symbols in our lives we may not realize what is being communicated by way of these symbols and thus disconnect our conscious awareness from the information that is flowing thru to our right hemisphere. We may unconsciously be influenced on an energetic level.

Why developing our awareness has so much value, or in other words… living deeply.

As thoughts are things, and do have the substantive quality of energetic information, and movement as in vibration and thus causal effects. How we use symbols then becomes valuable in that we connect our attention to the energetic levels of these symbols when we attach meaning, and relationship to any symbol. This is the beginning of developing vibrational awareness , and the integration of right hemisphere information.

Vibrational awareness is the attention to, and translation of meaning and of the quality of movement of a message within a symbol as it translates into and through our brain as information. This is easy to understand as it relates to signs.

Signs along the roads and highways, signs in the airports and terminals of travel. Every child learns early on how to recognize signs so as to navigate life easily, and many signs are taught early in life so that we understand our mutual agreements about direction and information. This is the purely physical side of symbolic interpretation. The very mechanical and logical level. Interpretation can get confusing when we cross over from one culture to another as signs take on different meaning depending on the context of the culture in which we observe them.

Examples of signs in my life.

As my own awareness developed and I was free from the old style thinking I began to see through what ever I was seeing. By this I mean I began to see how seemingly random events were actually connected. More and more I began to recognize this is how life most genuinely expresses. I learned to catch the signs of meaning in the most simplest of ways. For example just a few days ago I was digging deep into my self to find an answer relating to my next steps. When I got into my car and stopped at the first street light there in front of me was a bumper sticker I had never seen before. It said.. YOUR SOUL PURPOSE IS TO LOVE in big capital letters.

Gut feelings lead the way toward intimate connection with subtle information.

Many other signs appear and in less obvious ways, in my old thinking I would say coincidence, now I say synchronicity. Many times I will be requesting understanding of something and every time I go out into my garden a butterfly will flit and fly around me, for up to an hour! Then there is the gut sensation of rightness, that goes beyond logical deductions. Many times I will have a gut feeling that I will not ignore that tells me some direction is right when everything around me appears to be the opposite. Then a person will appear and unknowingly say words that speak directly to my situation, and I feel it without question in my gut…. that “right feeling”. That was not merely a coincidence that you said that . I always marvel when this happens.

Many years ago I learned to pay attention to these gut feelings as I learned that the physical body acts like an antennae and is connected beyond my thinking mind to everything that is. Distance has no bearing, nor time. As signs often appear before something to encourage us to go forward no matter what, or to stop no matter what. Signs which have significance, or symbols or things that have meaning will appear in my path or attention that cause me to immediately think of a particular person. I know these are signs and I then redirect my attention to that person from within myself to see what it is I need to pay attention. This has happened many times with my children, family and friends and even places.

Indigenous people always have this very connected kind of radar and use it to maneuver through their lives. I have read many accounts and talked with many indigenous people in my lifetime sharing stories on the subject of signs, and this has reinforced this experience for me many, many times. For these people this is very natural and I have learned to adapt myself also to the thinking of this being natural.

Why feeling separate is important to notice.

It is only when we live in separateness that life appears to be coincidental, or miraculous when there are signs and synchronicity. This is our own unconscious making when we refuse to live in the greater truth that life herself is totally supportive, connective, and reaches into all of creation. I remember far back in the eighties when I realized how profound a shift this was. For me to finally see and feel how life is not truly separate but connected and only I had been living outside of it….. this dramatically impacted every component of my life and how I would move through the obstacles, joys, and challenges that proceeded . I learned that I even felt tested on this as I learned to deepen and trust, to wait before acting so as to see the signs and synchronicity. I know that many times I went so far out on a limb beyond my comfort levels that I depended on these events. Finally I accepted the fact that once I was running my awareness as a form of interconnection with life these occurrences were natural. Living in separation felt less and less like the genuine reality. I observed that anytime I encountered myself in thinking, or feelings of separation that I would become super sensitized to this and I would be drawn into a deeper observation. This has led to my letting go of many paradigms that we all take for granted as normal. I am astounded at how complex the ideas are I have uncovered within myself based in notions of separation. Through out my complete socialization in many incarnations I have taken these ideas on and learned how to live with them, finally now, to let them go. The polarity of connection and separation is a fascinating one to take apart and to truly inquire within the self.

When there are no signs or synchronicity I know that I must make more effort on my part with whatever subject I am seeking to understand. Often I have learned that I need to not know exactly what I “think” I need to know and I make mistakes and learn to move forward using my own decision making process before I am lifted out of my separateness and illusion. Thus I continue to grow myself and be in willingness to be guided by life. Balancing and re-balancing the polarity of separation / connection. It is essential for me to have learned to accept that this embodiment is one where experience is vital. The experience of living here provides enriching material that passes through the lens of continuous discovery and deep remembering of a soul level of existence. I find it humorous how my interior core spirituality knows stuff, while my human physical self is always tripping up and discovering out of my not knowing. Once I establish enough of a basis of new information on any reality subject I find myself shifting out of discovery to remembering.

Learning to let go by editing. Releasing unconscious ties to dark forces.

Editing out symbols that do not carry the energetic messages I want to have in my life is crucial. Learning to become “symbol aware”, I have learned to cut out any deeply anti-life, or dark symbols from my physical world. These dark symbols carry the energetic links to astral states, other dimensional places outside our perceptual line of sight. Dark forces of control, upheaval, reverse messaging, that manipulate the truthfulness of life do not have the subtle doorway into my life field as they once did. Learning to detect the vibrational messages to symbols and how these open doorways to life forms and forces that have less than my complete and ultimate pure expression of divinity are not acceptable any longer. For example I have seen many tattoos on the bodies of people I have massaged that carry a link into astral realms, of which I have no desire to open to myself. I do not wear clothing with logos or symbols that I do not have clear and specific knowledge. I do not post, hang, or adorn my home with symbols that carry the darker, lower astral, reverse messaging that is prevalent in our world society today. In this way I do not create the energetic, vibrational pathways into myself that this opens up.

Editing out in a conscious way signs and symbols can take on an uplifting effect in the energetic designs of our lives as we learn to become aware. Opening up to learn about them in new ways acts on a positive level to do the same. For this reason I became attracted to crop circles and the mysterious nature of their creation, to the messages contained in their design. Truly amazing.

Signs, symbols, and synchronicity contribute fantastic new bits of information to my human experience and learning to cultivate this as natural on a daily basis has become a lifestyle. The astounding way this has enhanced my relationship in nature, with animals, and deepened my intuition recharges my life on a daily basis. To feel connected to life is an amazing, life energizing experience that arises out of the simplest of mundane moments.

Synchronicity, to me, is the dance of living. It is the level of vibration that confirms either positively or negatively any direction or thought I am having. As well as showing me how everything is actually connected. Relationship is most deeply felt in all of life through the synchronicity, and this adds the element of wonder to my average, normal everyday life.

Consciousness Does Rewrite Programming… core spirituality, my personal journey

Consciousness Does Rewrite Programming… core spirituality, my personal journey

When our habits of mind and body are no longer useful our consciousness has the capacity to shift the programming inside us and rewrite the scripts we live by.

Consciousness has the capacity to deepen to the point of overcoming that which is inside us by re-informing the self.

Body, mind, and emotions. Spiritually our consciousness is perhaps the most potent aspect of our make up.

Consciousness as it grows within us on any subject reshapes and redirects the experiential basis of our reality by bringing in a stronger capacity to fix our attention combined with our knowing along with intuitive feeling states. Our consciousness is a major working component of our totality here on earth!

When we keep going.

When we reach a quantum degree and form of consciousness this will begin to shift the existing state within us. For this reason we develop our consciousness positively by choosing to open our heart and mind in any direction that is arising for our continued sense of personal development. By cultivating the attention to our consciousness we are generating experiences that connect the knowing part of ourselves and this knowing gains a stronger place in our overall attention by shifting what it is we focus upon. We can do this in either polarity… positive or negative.

What is consciousness?

Consciousness is a state of being-ness or IS-NESS that exists in the ALL THAT IS, and whenever we are allowing our own consciousness to open and develop we are activating something that is universal and larger than the self for which this is streaming through.

We activate a state of attention and knowledge that is not limited by a physical boundary or person.

Many people share consciousness states and gravitate toward or away from one another based on the polarity and subject matter that they are currently engaged.

Consciousness exists as a field of presence, or state of being that connects. This connection within us of ever-expanding consciousness can grow to such degrees that it replaces generational, very old, and even stuck programming. The connections we make thru our consciousness leap beyond physical boundaries, time and space. Consciousness is an infinite field of presence.

Our own experiences in this way cause the developing changes in our programming that open to us more and more of our potential capacity to know ourselves and to know the genuine truthfulness of reality.

As our developing consciousness translates into our lives our intellect becomes informed by the new information that arises creating new pathways inside our brains and thus our intelligence gains a precision that can grow in massive leaps of quantum understanding. (versus the old model which is to cultivate the intellect to obtain new information without much of the consciousness or knowing behind it. )

A major paradigm shift.

The field of consciousness develops as a basis for the intellect providing a framework, or direction for which our thoughts organize and put together meaningful interpretations of experience. We come to redefining reality in this way. The intellect becomes the interpreter of our consciousness rather than the source of our experience alone. This placement of the intellect then becomes a valuable component without overriding the more expansive and connected aspect that is our innate consciousness.

The habits of which we seem to be imprisoned are subject to our consciousness as the pure state of attention and combined presence have the capacity to increase in substantial energy that then becomes a force that grows stronger than the habit.

As new experiences are gathered the new information informing our attention re-informs the existing programming until a shift occurs. This is the dynamic state of growth and evolution of consciousness in us as spiritual beings having this human experience. The cumulative effects of increased awareness and consciousness onto any subject can cause much of our programming to literally fall away as we trade meaningful knowing for the mindlessness of programming with which we have been subjected. The mindlessness or lack of consciousness around any programming becomes translated into our physical body in such a way so as to become quite uncomfortable and without a basis of inwardly felt truthfulness. When programming like this begins to break down we are subject to crisis of all kinds.

The purposefulness of Crisis.

Crisis, when viewed from the perspective of an intact well grounded consciousness looks like opportunity as the levels of information inside our biology, begin to come undone. This can feel very uncomfortable, especially when we have developed an attachment to our programming, or we have invested tremendous feeling, emotion and patterning into programs inside us. This affects the relationship of our consciousness to our sense of identification as we already have an unconscious identification with the programming and at first do not realize this. This is where consciousness steps in to redefine. We then process levels of attachments we have to the programming and unravel it. The increase of consciousness in this way steps in to take the place of the old style and transforms the components of identity within us in brand new ways, as we grow in this process. Crisis is the start of the opening to new probabilities, new possibilities, that would have been blocked under the previous thinking.

Identity crisis… who am I?

“What am I? where am I? who are you? what are you?”naturally shifts as the new consciousness filters through the old styles and conflicts come up. These conflicts need the continued consciousness expansion to show our attention how to keep going successfully.

My experience is the deeper we develop consciousness the more information is available to us. All this new information can re-frame the old, or it can cause it to drop away and completely transform. As consciousness moves through us this becomes a metamorphosis of the self, which in turn transform the directions we are on and ultimately generates completely new possibilities. This is why we say we cannot fix the old problems with the same thinking that created them. We need more consciousness to develop as we traverse the pathways of our existing situations. When we reach a quantum level of transforming consciousness our sense of who and what we are moves like the caterpillar to the butterfly, almost unrecognizable… or simply the very best of who we already were becoming. Now the world that we see around us becomes transformed as we view it through a different lens of perception.

Cycles of repeating.

Consciousness that has shifted does not go backwards. Although it might appear so, in truth, it is simply reaching deeper into more of the old programming to transform more completely the whole body of material we were previously invested. Dipping down into old stuff eventually becomes natural and we stop losing sight of the forward progression we are making. Although our intellect thinks we are repeating, our consciousness knows that we are simply clearing out more of the same old stuff, often hidden from our awareness because of our lack of consciousness around any one subject.

The consciousness of a whole species.

As consciousness moves through more individuals we gain a collective wave of mass shifting in our attention, our capacity to understand, and our potentialities. This is happening now to our species. We are on a giant wave of collective consciousness expansion and all our previously held ideas are subject to scrutiny and updating everywhere we look.

The entire human species is in a dynamic state of break down and redefining what we all thought was real and truthful.

Our world, outwardly reflects what is actually going on internally for the vast number of many of us. Yet still there are those who insist on digging their heads into the sand, ignoring the changes, resisting those changes and there results much confusion, suffering and pain as these humans do not want the changes.

We are free to choose to grow our consciousness or to keep our programming.

We are not stuck, even though the feeling may feel like it. This is because we need to develop beyond the programming and open more to consciousness. Thinking our way out, or by intellectually trying to make changes does not work. Remembering that we cannot change a problem with the same thinking that created it. Thinking alone is not enough to rewrite hundreds of years of familial, genetic, patterning. These programs need consciousness to get the job done.

Consciousness is what is transforming each of us, and along the way we are losing our old programming. These programs are deeply entrenched without any consciousness and so take huge amounts of consciousness expansion to release. Patience, and forgiveness, along with doses of quietude and self-care go along way to healing any condition we are seeking to change. Programs inside us are only patterns without consciousness, this is why and how our attention to developing consciousness becomes paramount in today’s world. We did not realize how unconscious we were.

Consciousness and the Intellect… Learning the differences…….core spirituality, my personal journey

Consciousness and the Intellect… Learning the differences…….core spirituality, my personal journey

Exploring my “Lens of Perception”.

Here I will explore some of the major differences I have found developing the intellect and developing the consciousness and how this has brought me to view my understanding of life ( revealing my perceptual lens).

Childhood “education”…programming.

Early in my life I began to seek answers that I could not find from the world around me through the practice and development of meditation. Like everyone else, as a child, I found myself surrounded by adults who seemed to have an idea of what was best for me and so I was educated, indoctrinated…… taught in all manner of political,social, religious, emotional, intellectual basics.

Much of it very useful in learning how to get along, how to pass and fit in with others, how to “think” I had a connection to something larger than myself. Things like reading, writing…. how to use my mind were all good things that are valuable in today’s society. Like everyone around me I learned all these things and yet by the time I was 15-16 years of age I still had a deep stirring in my gut that was very uncomfortable and would not let me rest with what I had learned. I seemed to have a greater sense-ability which I could feel that would urge me beyond the realities I was told exist and that I had to abide by. None of it actually true. However the case, I look back now and I see how I had one very discernible difference within myself from the majority around me.

This was the relentless development of my consciousness, over the intense training of my intellect.

Maintaining a vigilant awareness of internal freedoms.

I simply felt the need to protect freedom within myself, without the controls, that to me seemed unnecessary. The primary feeling deep within myself of this difference I noticed is the capacity to find more meaningful answers to life that went beyond what always appeared on the surface of how and what the world in general was teaching me. I need to be free inside to be the real me.

I can see now how the development of consciousness has served me in living a prosperous, generous, lively, evolving, inwardly personal responsible life regardless of how much money I have had or how I looked. Where as when I see a majority of my contemporaries who have followed the more common path of developing their intellects along the lines of traditional thinking there is a sizable difference. I see so many zombie like people believing everything in the mainstream medias which fill the air with fear and powerlessness, believing dogmas and doctrines of religions without personal experiences, people numbed out from use of pharmaceuticals and social drugs, and a general level of life frustration that never leaves. There are way too many followers needing someone to tell them what to do. Externally dependent individuals are everywhere.

The result is a significant difference, the many forms of internal, social suppression of all kinds which limit the perception of embracing what is actually possible in life. There is a sever limiting of the human potential, or the genuine expression of the spiritual being in the masses of our humanity.

Hidden forms of social and spiritual suppression.

Upon reflection I can see a wide spectrum of diverse forms of suppression. Suppression of genuine inner knowledge, and a connection to the universal realms of life beyond the visible spectrum of light.

( If I cannot see it, it does not exist… mentality) Not learning to observe outside the dogmas and doctrines of our organized society leading to the subversion of genuine self-awareness and genuine alignments to internal freedom of self-will.

The ways that an externally based education can subvert inner learning about the truthfulness of self is remarkable as it covers over self-awareness or deeply knowing self and our relationship to the greater whole of existence. I find this fact remarkable and I see how this leads to many covert forms of social, group and individual forms of spiritual control.

For example I know now that the doctrine of Original Sin programmed into me as a child that lead me to believe I had to be baptized and submit to rules of the catholic church are all bogus. None of this is truth! Even though I was taught this everyday in school for my entire childhood. Eventually I was able to experience many direct moments of clear connection to what I would call is my soul, and none of those ideas actually exist there. They were as I discovered… all man-made. I was educated to believe that all homosexuals were perverted, sinful, and abominations. As I grew to investigate the truth of my self and my connection to my soul I learned again that none of this was true, it was all man-made up.

All manner of controls through perception have been created that subvert the genuine self-knowledge that are directly within us all. Very interesting. What is generally referred to as education is actually a kind of perceptual suppression which tells a person how to see and think in the world which limits how we perceive what is possible.

Life is all vibrational.

This is most evident to me through my own development of the awareness of vibration. As I have become more vibrationally aware I have learned to recognize life beyond the visible light spectrum of what we are taught is reality. And this perceptual level holds a vast wider range of life, and a genuine existence extending far beyond the programmed one I was taught to see and live accordingly. The astounding truth of how life is vibrational in nature is so much more filled with so much more information that it is staggering to learn how to integrate. Yet this is never taught in our schools when it is actually a main component of what reality is in all truthfulness.

This obvious omitting of vibrational awareness allows a kind of dumbing down, or thought control because we do not see beyond our lens of perception and thus our potentialities are blocked. (if I cant see it, it doesn’t exist… mentality)

I will never forget the early days of my introduction into vibrational awareness as a young teenager. I learned to see how color and sound were but the same expression though expressed differently depending on how we perceive it, seeing the auric fields of people, plants and the earth showed me how the actuality of life is in a state of inter-connected-ness based on the frequencies of its origins. The idea that everything is separate is simply not a truth. That we are not separate invalidates millions of laws on this planet, millions of political actions etc.

I remember the first couple of times I went inside a bar, a place I had never been before as a child, where I could see the vibrational component of activity there.

To my astonishment I was able to watch how individuals who were intoxicated were actually being vampire- by entities who were not physical at all. I could see all kinds of unconscious activity being downloaded into and through people under the influences of the alcohol and drugs in ways that were not actually genuine to those people. As entities would “piggy back” on people and fill them with all kinds of negative energies, behaviors and experiences. I was horrified to observe the airspace around people and above them as this was all going on. This was awful to see yet powerful to realize. Losing self composure, I learned was a way for non physical life forms to grab hold of people and influence them when they were not looking.

Later in my work world I could see how the vibration of an individual is clearly evident regardless of what picture they were telling me, or showing me. Our field of vibration is truthful and reveals any kind of self-deception, any kind of self-imposed limitation, any forms of denial, in any way that a person may be trying to lie, or deceive. It is easy to see the walls, the darkness, and the sludge inside the electronic field of a person. This would alert me to the genuine nature of a problem the person would be expressing and I could see the origins. We carry people, memories, unexpressed emotions of all kinds inside our electric field of vibration and it appears most people are not aware of this. Inside the physical body are all the channels of energy flow in which the electric vital forces of the body are distributed. I began to have an interest in acupuncture as I was seeing these channels and could observe the high or low flow of energies in the body. This is all real and became a way for me to learn to assist those who came to me in need of re-balancing. I observed how I could direct this vital force from myself to another to influence it in a corrective way thus restoring balance. I did not need anything, no needles or implements simply the conscious awareness and intention to heal and balance. Each session I would be shown through the lens of perception… the perception of vibration.

By choosing a profession for days and weeks and months and years and now decades of time in stillness, silence, and quietude I have learned to be much more aware of how people feel, how places feel, and in this way to develop a vibrational awareness. Including the capacity to expand on what healing really means to me, and how to participate in a healing process without interfering with another. I have learned how not to believe what much of what religions, social systems, society, authorities of every kind are perpetrating all over the world.

Distortions of perception

When our perceptions are severely limited, shortened, and distorted our capacity to experience truthfulness directly by way of personal experience is completely high jacked.

We do not know this because of the collective agreements we share through our perceptual lenses. Our agreements about how we see one another effect our behaviors and this in turn generates our collective experience of reality.

A reality that we create out of our ideas of perception. Even though this may actually be a distortion.

This pattern has repeated for generations upon generations in our humanity. We can see this as we finally learn to see ourselves beyond what we thought was true. When enough people see something differently we seem to be able to shift our reality and then things change. We can see this quite easily in our law systems. Laws evolve out of our growing need to maintain a level of safety and well-being. Yet even this can remain distorted as in the present day laws enacted out of the crisis of 9/11. We can see now how our very constitutional rights are being eliminated for more covert forms of social control. There is a delicate balance between real and not real everywhere that we are learning to detect.

Suppression of what is possible

The most significant outcome of developing our intellects far beyond our consciousness is how we are suppressing the possible in our lives. Firstly many of us are deeply entrenched in thoughts that control us and limit us is hard to see and break through because we do not see beyond our own beliefs based in thinking that is purely intellectual and self-made. We become prisoners of our own making and yet know it not. The immense, gargantuan tide of human denial is mind-blowing. Denial prevents us from our most intrinsic inner freedom of expression and self knowing. Thus we do not recognize how so many of us are being controlled by forces outside us. Forces that we have all internalized as real. This is clear in millions of ways in our global society.

The flip side of this is not seeing, not knowing that we can…. we can do ….. we can get along, we can find ways to feed everyone, we can heal violence, we can heal the hurts and on and on and on. We believe ourselves to be separated by all these thoughts that distance us from each other and the reality of this is none of it is actually truthful. It is all man-made. I know from personal experience. I have traveled to over 75 countries, worked in many different cultures with many different people, I have encountered my own self everywhere in all people. We are not that different as a species, we think differently…. but we are not innately that different as beings.

We are all learning

As a spiritual being having a human experience I have had to look deeply into my own way of seeing life. I have had to identify my own perceptual lenses. I have had to learn how to see again, how to see inside what I see and see more. I have learned that what I see around me is a result of my lens. I understand how valuable developing a healthy mind can be, and learning to use my intellect. However I have moved the intellect over so that it is not my dominant means of perceiving. I have allowed my consciousness to expand and to inform my intellect. Which up to now seems to be a more appropriate place for it to be. I continue to see how an overly developed intellect can separate and divide, how it can generate fear, and be used to control people.

The word Consciousness is originally derived from the Latin con (with) and scire (to know).

The difference in thinking something and knowing it is our conscious experience.

Consciousness is well worth developing.

Their comes a time on the path of self awareness when we realize how our experiences are here to remind us of some deep inner knowing, something we have forgotten. Pointing us in a direction which holds a better way for each one of us.

This activation of our attention starts out in sporadic ways as the dawning light of our soul’s true essence breaks through the massive litanies of our human history. We begin the lengthy process of unlearning.

Recognizing the great charade, unlearning what we thought was real.

How important unlearning is becomes evident as genuine remembering of the natural reality of the spiritual self arises inside us as we go through our AHAA’S. These AHAA’S are a wake up signal that we can learn to cultivate. We begin to recognize that there really is within us a familiarity and a knowledge of life that fits with our sense of personal harmony.

First we learn how to face ourselves and take off the blinding actions of shame and blame.

However, the long process of facing what is real within us first becomes the work of the evolving realization of self. As we learn to accept and face our feelings which are hurtful, harmful, painful, agonizing, and self limiting. The honesty of self reflection at this stage does not always reveal the greater awareness which lies just below the surface of our attention.

We are too invested in our drama, drama, drama at the early stages of waking up.

The choice to honestly face both our deepest most uncomfortable feelings as well as our most precious unexpressed longings are the initial steps to awakening our active participation in self realization. By self realization I am implying becoming our most REAL SELF.

Grappling with what we do not want to see, face, or feel.

The difficulty with this stage is the tremendous amount of mental and emotional energy we have used to build our walls of protection against our ills, our pains, and our illusions of reality. And also the people we have surrounded ourselves with who have contributed to our needs for agreement so we can sustain these dramas.

We sustain our points of view with our personal attention by repeating scenarios in our minds to make sure we are still where we think ourselves to be in drama, where we believe we have been victim, or to perpetrate the drama we want to run with people around us or the world dramas in general.

We then surround ourselves with others who will reinforce our notions and we gain agreements to solidify our pains. To learn to give these dramas up to something that feels more harmonious takes effort. Our thinking and the emotional patterns which arise from this are deeply set inside our attention and are habits to break and require a vigilant effort to learn to release.

Refusal to see ourselves, facing our denials.

Learning to face what is real contains the notion that we are creating through our own feelings and thoughts. We learn to see what we are really doing by way of these self made feelings and thoughts and up to this time this is all very real. This can bring to the surface of our person many feelings which up to this point have been denied expression. These are the unacceptable feelings that the self has stored away and hidden with justifications, defenses, and painful histories which provide a basis for staying in our limited selves. We grow ourselves up here at this point by choosing willingly to take full responsibility for whatever it is we are feeling and thinking and start to heal the hurt, and the victim self.

Choosing the path of self responsibility

The result of facing these kinds of emotions and thinking is the development of emotional awareness, a more refined identification of our emotions. As we develop our emotional awareness and learn to identify our feelings, name them, and learn to feel them completely through we learn how these states actually transport our awareness into a more clear development of our mental, emotional nature.

The inner work leads to new forms of personal clarity.

When we develop our emotional nature with greater depth and clarity this leads to the greater realizations of spirituality that are waiting to be felt and expressed which exist beyond the limiting boundaries of our lesser selves. These larger spiritual places of which there is greater personal freedom lead us into our more honest places of true free will. At this point we have learned to go beyond what we thought was the limit and found inner resources which provide additional self understanding, strength, and now VISION.

New pictures begin to form inside our heads.

Vision, as in seeing who we really are as spiritually identified beings… Vision as in the soul based, spiritually energized access to our own inner purposes and plan for this embodiment. Here we contact the universal substance of co creation within us and then use this new awareness to continue on our path. And while many scenarios of discord, confusion, and incongruity may drop away there is still more to tackle.

What is shifted is our capacity to resolve our personal dilemmas and to make better choices which will transmute the negative life scenarios still active around us. With this new spiritual fuel of a more highly developed emotional awareness, and the clearing of our own negativity we hold a larger space of possibility for our own further development and greater access to authentic true free will.

This is much like the transformation of the caterpillar to the butterfly. Personal metamorphosis arises and lifts us out of many damaging life situations and redirects our attention to the new directions inherent in our life plans. Healing on all levels is activated as our physical cells now have access to greater life forces, our minds are opened beyond our old thinking, and our emotions are not squashed into our loaded subconscious and we have clear access to feeling that now includes intuition.

Intuition is simply the essence of the self now activated into and through the personality. It is a natural component of the self. And it is something that now becomes a new tool to learn, to respect, to develop.

Intuition is amazing.

Intuition is amazing in that it connects us to the larger picture of life, and connects our attention beyond the limiting ego self. The ego self is merely the organizer that makes sure we have our keys before we go out the door, or makes certain we know how to get where we are going. The ego self is actually a wonderful component which helps us stay connected into the time-line and daily activity. It no longer is the main driver of our life. As intuition develops more and more we learn how capable we are of holding a larger version of reality, of how not to hurt others, and how to navigate through difficult situations with finesse and a real sense of deeper cooperation with life. We learn to use the ego self in proportion to the other parts of ourselves with a much better balance. We learn too that we are much much more capable at this point as there are so many coincidences, serendipitous happenings, and amazing circumstances that show up and we observe how purpose is behind whatever is now currently happening around us. We learn to embrace mystery as a safe passage into opening ourselves to being able to hold greater and greater truthfulness about life. We then realize we are part of the cosmos.

Taking away the fear of mystery and not knowing.

When we learn to embrace mystery and not knowing with an opened mind, a receptive heart, and a clearer sense of feeling we start to actualize potentials. Our potentials were not available before to us in our limited, judgmental, self loathing, unloved state. However at this point these qualities have become so refined that our discernment is much more refined and we are stronger and more able to explore our own mysterious not knowing. We learn to live with paradox as we walk fine lines between different realities around us and people running all kinds of dramas. I have felt many times the fine balance of real knowing simultaneously beside not knowing and moved forward anyway. We learn the difference between real fear, which is signaling danger is ahead with self created fear, fear of not knowing. The discernment of fear and its origins becomes another valuable tool that we add to our awareness as we move through our own personal paths of mystery.

The creative urge is mysterious.

As we encompass larger components of our creative urge we connect with our deepest longings and our intuitive nature combining our resources to cultivate discovery in ever more fascinating ways. The act of creation is not all filled with instant knowing of what lies ahead but does hold a kind of promise. We learn what I call “right direction”. Right direction is the meaningful way our own daily life unfolds from one moment to another with a sense of purpose that speaks directly to each one of us. This right direction has its own boundaries and movement, along with stasis and set back. All of it meaningful as we continue through our journey of life.

Learning to open ourselves to even more.

When we can live each day with a pure sense of self, connection to the ALL THAT IS or source, when we can be strong enough to face our own self loathing, self created miseries, and let go of our painful histories, when we can sustain an open heart, and open mind, and then embrace our own personal life mysteries, we have begun the path of self realization towards co creation. We learn to embody joy as natural to us without the need for circumstance. We learn to hold possibility for those around us as they too struggle with the pitfalls of self realization. We learn to walk away from the damaging aspects of our human past and we align with something much greater than all of us. This is core spirituality.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

Reality Selection…core spirituality, my personal journey

Reality Selection…core spirituality, my personal journey

Reality selection is the choice to live with what is real.

Reality selection is something all humans are participating and whether we do this in a conscious way by selecting truthfully…. or unconsciously, by selecting only those versions which fit our perceptions regardless of natural truth is all a matter of our growing self awareness and evolution.

We may choose moment by moment by way of examining our free will choices. We may choose unconsciously out of habit, comfort, familiarity,or inheritance through our family of origin and social systems. Without the questioning of what is real, or that which we consider reality we are subject to what it is we place our attention and our personal life energy. From this we develop our experiences which arise from these places. (this is happening whether we recognize it or not because this is the nature of reality.)

The ever present experience of powerlessness and the victim.

The idea I encounter in the world most frequently, especially as a therapist is victim thinking. So frequently even highly effective people have hidden pockets of this inside them without realizing this; I find individuals stuck,or in a stasis of non progress with their situations not realizing that the subtle feeling of not knowing what to do next, or not realizing that one must press further in a personal search for solutions, rather than allowing self to submit to another person’s idea of action.

I find this with people who go to doctors. Physical therapists, and therapists of all kinds. I listen to people express this through their political opinions. Seeking answers, guidance, support, and treatment for whatever their particular ailments might be. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I often encounter a lack of awareness of the “self development” required to address issues with others so as to cultivate one’s own interior self design for what is to come next. This is all about the inner voice we all have that is guiding us and ultimately choosing to act upon the final decision in the matter based on what our inner voice, or conscience, heart mind, or spiritual self is seeking.

Human beings and our evolution.

Humans are like babies in this way as so much of our socialization is externally based and the inner self has been subverted for outward forms of authority that provide solutions for inner places within us.

Read that last sentence again.

This is beginning to change in larger and larger ways now. There is a gigantic shift happening. We are learning to turn inward to find the authority to learn to see, feel, and design life more from the interior place of free will choice and the realization that our possibilities do arise actually from within self.

The process of growing ourselves up.

When we accumulate enough of these kinds of experiences we learn that reality as we select it, is truly something that evolves from within us and the outer world falls into a kind of order from this place that is actually within. The world becomes the outer manifestation of our inner selves.

With enough of this kind of reality we build into the self the authenticity of inner sovereignty.

Still we can see all over the world many people still seeking this authentic authority outside of themselves and how this is slightly out of alignment with natural order. For natural order is by nature something that we are all born of , made of, are immersed within, and learn to recognize as our own mastery through the experiences of having a physical embodiment and recognizing that when we identify as spiritual beings having a human experience, and not the other way around… physical beings having a spiritual experience. We are free to select any version of reality as we go through the life experiences we are having regardless of our circumstance, our nation of birth, our color of skin, our family history, or even our previous life experiences. We can choose to shift our experiences by way of making new choices that lead differently into our future time-lines.

Learning to transmute our experience into something better.

As we accumulate experiences into ourselves which come truthfully from within us and not outside of us we realize the power we have to transmute whatever it is that is unsatisfactory. This is quite natural and places us into a wider spectrum of choices because we have moved off the limiting game board of generations before us onto the the one of CO-CREATIVITY.

Co-creativity is the most natural place for a human being to see themselves develop and this inner place of awareness nurtures the entire purpose for physical embodiment.

All of life around us is already in this dynamic state of co-creativity, all the different aspects of life thrive on this kind of order. Animals, plants. The planet, and the cosmos.

It is the most present, everlasting, largest most consistent form of reality. Co-creation !

However for the majority of life forms the one component that is most different from our is the matter of personal, free will and how we use free will to make choices about all of this. Each representative of our species )that is each person) has this single component to learn to activate. Yet in the other species this is more of a collective choice or group mind choice. For us this is individual.

By way of transmuting the incongruity in our lives, by transmuting the negatives into positives we shift the reality we live and widen our choices further. Because when we do this we are placing ourselves into the natural order of the cosmos, of life herself. By taking ourselves out of a man made ideology, or an intellectually based notion of reality we free up the life force that is us and we join with others who are already learning how to do this. This is called reality selection!

Belief systems

ideologies

socialization

past histories

social and family rules

political standings

self identity

are but a few of the very important places inside us with which we each have the power, the possibility to change through our free will choices.

Learning that all we thought was and is not real but actually made up by man, is a big step to unravel as so many of our perceptions were learned from these kinds of thinking. Agreement by others reinforce these man made ideas. To step away and discover what is truthfully inherent and what is not within us is a task that comes along as we mature with our choices and develop our self identities. Nothing is written in stone so we have total inner free will to decide for ourselves all along the way.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self reflection and discovery

Deepening Our Awareness Within… ( Spiritual changes to the human condition )… core spirituality, my personal journey

Deepening Our Awareness Within… ( spiritual changes to the human condition )… core spirituality, my personal journey

Paying close attention to the interior of self, sorting out emotional messages, feeling what the wordless messages are that pass thru my body, watching thoughts, and observing reactionary responses are all ways the vibrational frequency of my personal consciousness has begun to open to embrace changes, transformations, growth and discovery.

As I learn to embrace a larger context of self awareness and to discern all such things I find my own personal point of view is transforming constantly. I find myself alive in the context of life with a plethora of different emotions, feelings and thoughts as I withdraw myself from my previously self made memorized patterns.

I step away from the ideas of conforming to fit in to conforming to a heart space of loving self , and loving what is. Acceptance of how life informs me whether this is a negative or a positive experience is about discerning and choosing how I authentically align myself in the world with my innermost sense of truth-fullness and the expression of my heart as it seeks to love and love and love evermore.

I notice my own ignorance… my ignoring what is intrinsic to life and how it is I have chosen to look away from the natural laws of life to shape my own notions of what I want life to be like. This is a delicate process as not all thoughts or ideas are actually aligned in the truth existence. We do not want to see life as it is because we do not want to, this is a common human way to live our lives. We simply edit out whatever we do not want to accept and think this is going to work in the larger spectrum of reality. It does not. And in case you do not see this… look around at all the personal and collective mayhem and insanity of endless unsolved problems seeping within our humanity!

We humans learn to shape life according to our wants, desires, needs, notions, and intellectual stands as if these are the laws of life itself. Many such notions are far from it and only the property of an unquestioned intellect. Formed thru external influences learned in our families, our neighborhoods, our churches and temples, our schools, our social and political locations in each of our countries.

However this may be there are far more universal laws of life which are common to everyone regardless of all these factors, and when observed and applied as actualities cause expanding states of internal personal freedom that does not have the need to exist in the world as the common person thinks. I am reminded of a bible quote about being in the world, but not of it.

For example when I reflect on the natural law of Vibration, of how life is vibratory in nature. Made of atoms, protons, molecules and light photons I look at things differently as I observe how nothing is as solid, nothing is as rigid, or hard as I have previously made it out to be. I am learning to recognize how life substance mingles and intersects, swirls and overlaps, how thoughts and feelings are free to travel beyond physical boundaries. I realize that my own thoughts and feelings are connected to other thoughts and feelings and this shapes reality.

I see how time and distance do not actually prevent the overlapping of ideas and feelings with others. You could be thousands of miles away and in a single instant also connect with a thought or feeling I am having, or me with you. Those ideas of separation simply are not the actuality of life. My internal world is intermingling with the larger one in quite a natural way. I learn to see how the ripples of human thinking travel and all the emotions and feelings travel across distance without any sort of physical boundary. I experience the thoughts and feelings of those not living in this physical domain. Repeatedly in my work I encounter the loved ones of those who have passed over from this life as I see their faces, hear their thoughts, and feel the messages of love they want to convey to their loved ones still in physical embodiments. This is happening because the opening up of the vibratory nature of our lives is occurring while at the same time our capacity to open up our own vibratory field expands, and the walls of separation between the physical and the non physical diminish.

I am learning to see how each person is a life force of vibrational light. The colors around and inside people have clear and distinct shades of different expressions and I watch as the thoughts and feelings change the colors inside and around them changes too. This is the aura… the vibrational component of us. I see how our lights can be clean and clear, or darkened and muddied according to our attention, lifestyles, thoughts and feelings on a daily basis. These vibrational color forms express the person precisely as they are, when there is deception this is very apparent as there are dark walls of shadowy light, when there is confusion there is mixing and overlapping of contrasting color and shading.

When I observe the vibrational nature of our lives I see how similar vibrational patterns and colors around people are attracted to each other and multiply and increase as those light particles engage in mutual vibrational resonance.

That life is not as solid as we commonly have held it to be!

That it is actually a gigantic vibrational field and completely interrelated!

Vibrational perspectives are a totally new and interesting way to learn to observe how life animates with itself thru each of us!

Often in my work, or even in my daily life I notice feelings that have no words, and even the beginnings of thoughts that seem to come from outside myself. As I learn to pay attention to these moments I have learned to open to intuition.

I have learned to cultivate an open place of awareness that is integrating information on a finer, more delicate, and I think… a higher vibrational level. As I am learning to integrate this I am finding how connected everything actually is and that this connection is capable of informing me so that I may be of greater service in how it is I choose to interact with people and how it is I walk with life and calls me into deeper self honesty in the world.

This opens me to the consciousness beyond the physical appearance around me.

And assists a connection to nature as a living presence with it’s own form of consciousness.

This is particularly fun with people’s pets. As I can see the pictures they have inside their minds and I can understand their emotional impulses much much more clearly. I also experience the wild life, the plant life, the terrain I live, the sky… all with this same kind of consciousness that is it. All of it is a vibrational expression of waves and particles of light shaped into what it is my eyes are seeing. However it is more than my eyes are seeing as it is real consciousness that is all connected. It is all connected to itself, and it is connected to the sun, the space around us and connected to the deep, outer cosmic field. I feel this as I a learn to recognize life as vibrational in nature.

Learning to recognize the vibrational nature and how nothing is truly in separation, though there are boundaries in place in some places, I cannot but help to become aware of the law of cause and effect. As I perceive what is happening from a causal level in the cosmic field from far out in deep space I see how it is effecting the local field of our physical domain as vibrations travel inward to this planet. Likewise I can see how what starts inside us as a little thought, (a cause), goes out into the world and “effects” the outer world. I also see how the military actions of violence and destruction vibrate out into the cosmic field effecting our solar system, the spaces inside it, and beyond. Everything is actually connected.

The observation of how everything is connected opens up the realization of how we are each responsible for what is happening in this world thru our individual thoughts and feelings.

The consciousness of every individual is effecting physical reality.

Whether one believes it or not, whether one sees it or not, whether one cares about it or not. This is an immutable, stable expression of cosmic law that is active 24/7 !

I find stability in knowing this and so I embrace this as a form of personal knowledge for living that supports my existence.

This replaces many of the false ideas, and rigid beliefs, and the notion that I need many of the man made laws ( which I still respect and abide), I simply inwardly do not allow myself to see them as the great pillars of strength we have been lead to believe.

Many of these intellectual laws, policies, and ideas simply are not capable of managing the immensity of the truth of life as billions of life forms co exist and manage their lives on a daily basis.

In other words there is a natural order of life that is truly NATURAL.

And it is not what science has lead us to believe.

This becomes apparent as we learn to integrate the knowledge of our lives from the perspective of vibrational awareness.

The Power of Self Honesty… Bodywork as a Tool for Centering… core spirituality, my personal journey

The Power of Self Honesty… Bodywork as a Tool for Centering… core spirituality, my personal journey

At this time on our planet the indicators for deep honesty with self appear to be the way with which we may successfully pass thru the complexity of what arises each day to arrive at the most healthy of outcomes.

I am specifically noting how it is I am thinking and feeling internally and the genuine self reflection that goes along with this. The negativity arises and increases and decreases, just as the tides ebb and subside, I find myself withdrawing to my quiet places.

Spending time making a new garden for growing food, time with my hobby of growing orchids, walking and simple resting in silence thru short naps, or quiet music. These times where we pull away from the input of information in our lives can be focused as moments of honest reflection with self.

I find myself giving lots of attention to the interior awareness …to the details of how I am reacting, being triggered, responding and noticing my need to be clear with self about all this.

These interior moments have value in that I am able to sort out my own genuine responses to my life experiences and determine where it is I find myself parroting another person’s opinion or idea.

The casual way with which opinions are shared, are televised and reported as if they were news items or pieces of information that are fact are worth noting.

I find myself needing to pay attention and make certain I am congruent within myself and my own interior sensibilities and intuitions.

Human beings everywhere are processing massive amounts of information and I feel it is necessary to be completely self honest here before I speak, or act on anything.

Our need to be honest with ourselves is one of our most valuable traits as spiritual beings having a human experience and will lead us away from news and information that is completely self serving in the world. There are many big egos running away with their versions of life here and right now these egos are having their heyday!

When I look at and listen to my own ego I notice how loud, how big, how incessant it can be in my life. I notice that were I not to stay in some kind of honest self checking I could be dragged into many an ego based thought process, life story, or drama of which it is totally not mine what so ever to be investing my personal energy.

Self honesty becomes a strength and an alliance inside myself that supports my progress thru the many moments of time that engage my awareness. I want to be careful with this…. full of care.

Self honesty with uncomfortable feelings and thoughts is particularly uncomfortable.

However uncomfortable this may be it is still worth the genuine acceptance and reflection to go thru in order to pass thru.

Whenever I find myself with these uncomfortable feelings and thoughts I know that I must have some silence, or some down time from my usual activities so that I may more thoroughly understand what is impacting me and how it is impacting me. And I have concluded that just because I have these negative experiences does not make me a negative being, unless I allow myself to go on unchecked, and I allow myself to continue to act without self understanding.

This may seem to be a minor thing, however I feel that it is far from that, it is in fact a major thing to deeply understand our own negative, dark, or confusing feelings, thoughts, and experiences.

The human body often will express pain that originates as negativity gone unchecked inside our own minds, our emotions, and experiences.

I encounter this regularly as a body therapist with the clients that seek me out. Body work… massage, chiropractic, etc. provides an individual with a framework to connect with, and process, and release these places inside us before they take over our physical bodies as illnesses.

Vague discomforts, muscle aches, patterns of fatigue, headaches, tightening up of the neck, back, lower legs, stomach aches and digestive issues, mental confusions around particular issues ….all are indicators of our greater need to honestly self reflect and process our interior climates of thoughts and feelings.

Our physical bodies can be overwhelmed whenever we lose sight of our need to empty ourselves of our negativity.

Many drugs used to assist people in pain merely cover up this entire process and circumvent the possibility of honest feeling of painful emotions, and painful thoughts we have inside ourselves. All addictions are doing the same. Pharmaceutical drugs used for pain long term can have quite a debilitating effect on the spiritual presence within a human being as they become dependent on the synthetic component of the drug instead of the interior components of honest self reflection and decision making where pains are concerned. I have encountered this numerous times on my massage table with clients thru the years.

Stimulating competitive over activities that overwhelm and exhaust the human, though it may look healthy, are not so. Especially when there are negative thoughts and feelings arising that are seeking to be expressed, yet are subverted thru the adrenaline of the stimulus. I have encountered this many times on my massage table with clients. This is where bodywork is valuable to receive as another track for connecting mind and body, emotions and body.

I often encounter the message that we need to find the quiet places, or to be still, or to learn to meditate to have a more balanced life experience. Equally as important, if not even more so is our intention to be self honest. To be self honest in the quiet places, to be self honest in our stillness, to be self honest in our meditations.

We are all learning to process our lives in greater detail, in greater depth and as a consequence we give ourselves the option to pull out of negative scenarios that drain, pull, subvert, redirect, misdirect, lose our directions. What we choose inwardly in these times is of consequence in our outer material worlds.

How we are living inwardly is creating the results we find ourselves outwardly. The circumstances of our lives and more importantly our interior responses to the circumstances is directly at question and up for revision.

When we develop the attention to and awareness of what is inwardly taking place inside ourselves and how this is connected to what is going on outside ourselves, our responses take on more value than the actual circumstances we find ourselves.

It is our response to circumstance that is essential, not the circumstance itself that matters here.

(this is a complete paradigm shift and worth deepening into and realizing now )

Read that last sentence once more.

This is core spirituality arising as we learn to disengage from whatever is no longer intrinsic to our core value and we learn to navigate this world as spiritual beings having a human experience, and not as human beings having a spiritual experience. This is a complete flip, a total turn around of the paradigm of how we may choose to identify ourselves.

12 Worst Ideas Religion Has Unleashed On The World

In the great shift of our times is the transition from finding answers to life externally thru authority created by others to finding answers within thru our internal self authority.

Historically we can learn to recognize the damaging effects of some of the man made ideas, rules, beliefs created and perpetrated by human beings thru religions.

In my own quest for pure authenticity i have had to reexamine those beliefs in religions that do not serve myself, or the collective well being of our species. The fact than many people have been murdered, injured, wounded, or cast out of their families as a result of these particular religious beliefs is well worth reexamining.

i am posting this today as a vehicle for reflection and reexamination.

While at the same time the universal beliefs that support unconditional love, compassion, inclusion, mercy, and service to each other are also fine examples of ideas and beliefs in religions, my experience has shown me that not all of what religion has to tell us, or offer us is actually good for us.

These decisions are personal ones and each individual is free to examine and decide for themselves those beliefs they want to support.

In the spirit of discernment i like to post this article.

12 Worst Ideas Religion Has Unleashed On The World.

Bringing Authenticity to Every Moment… core spirituality

 

Bringing Authenticity to Every Moment… core spirituality

Awareness in us as us is presence recognizing the opening thresholds of our daily experience thru touching into the profound depth with which we are actually capable.

When core spirituality of pure light of awareness enters into our human experience we access the possibility for touching into our deepest heart space. Where love within us loves to love unceasingly.

Loving from our hearts… not our heads or just our groins opens the authenticity of expression spontaneously to let out the love that is our deepest core self. Not that we must find love, not that it find us as we learn to recognize how love is what the ground of being actually consists.

Love is everywhere.

When we witness human beings where love appears to be absent of expression our deepest opening becomes the action of allowing love to pass thru us without editing.

This is authenticity of being.

As we discover that we are actually spiritual being incarnate as human being… we became embodied, we touch upon the wave upon wave of infinite presence that is authentic in life and around this world.

Authentic being takes the place of many broken, hardened, hidden forms of expression in the human condition.

Love is felt and allowed to flow as it does so naturally thru out the cosmos as it issues from the very source of creation.

I call it the great undoing… as we feel ourselves becoming alive in fantastic deepening and unceasing ways. The impulse to authentically show up to ourselves, to each other replaces the old scripts of our lives as we learn how to navigate daily life in a naturally joyful manner.

We discover that all along, every role, every action, and all of the scenarios of our lives had as its deepest intent to connect us with authenticity of the deepest profound spiritual self.

We are not really ourselves until we are deeply and profoundly authentic.

This authenticity of spiritual awareness lightens our darker nature in ways that ease our transformations into becoming that which we already are in the most primordial sense.

Deeply spiritual being.

Attraction becomes “calling” as we discover the urges and intuitions that compel us forward thru each new day leading into new experiences arising out of the wise core spirituality of this deeper reality unfolding thru life.

By finding inside us the authentic place of ourselves many old patterns no longer weigh as heavily nor do they have the same appealing attraction in our lives. Circumstances and relationships begin to redirect as we take in more and more of our potentiality to grow and transform. Now we have the deeply intuitive compelling of a greater significance in all ordinary living.

We learn to live lightly and care more deeply thus satisfying the truth of our hearts.

The power of authenticity has a compelling presence in the world as it connects with itself in others.

We find the mutual ground where we share the authentic space of oneness.

And as many lovers thru time, many singers and their audiences have felt… the one… the oneness becomes the many and so on. It is a marvelous state of being to learn about as we re-inform our human selves.

We respond inwardly to the calling of our authentic nature instead of always trying to react to the world around us. Responding by being authentic replaces the habit of reacting and this feels good.

When we are rooted in our authentic self we then begin to pull in all the components of our human conditional selves and find new energizing ways to express this. Communicating, relating, listening, genuinely finding ourselves blending into the world thru a gigantic common ground.

As we grow in trusting our authentic being the internal space of who we are grows in all directions…. above us , behind us, in front of us and below us as we find ourselves transforming our past, our future, and the present moment. Anchored in this awareness authenticity informs and clarifies situations with ever more possibility.

As humans we each have patterns of behavior and emotional imprinting with which we must learn to face in order to release ourselves from the pains of our embodiments. This authenticity supports us in respecting the feelings that we need to let go, to feel, and to release in a manner of finality. Thus ending our cycles of self made pain and suffering. As an action that arises from within self no longer outside self we shift from our inside places.

Authenticity is the most natural ground of being we are capable and acts as a threshold to open up to us the larger view of who and what we truthfully are as spiritual beings having this human experience.

Authenticity is our ticket thru life showing us how to shed the falseness and depraved, the shameful and the broken. The strength of this is beyond our imagination.

The doors that open in life thru authentic being are quite different from all others and though it is a mystery it is of utmost value to open those doors so as to have the deeply satisfying life with which we are capable of living.

Our authentic selves love life and transform it from simply being in the world. Every place has its comfortable space as we no longer seek to be that which we are not.

Ceasing to change the outside world, our actions are driven from the inside places .

The Awakening of the Human Form… core spirituality

 

The Awakening of the Human Form… core spirituality

The arrival of the light of the infinite “one” that which is our source within us, brings attention to all that is necessary.

In each inward down pouring of this light there is a deepening and strengthening of the human self.

Awakening our attention to that which is to be dismantled, burned away in the stepping up of the infinite radiance that issues from the soul.

This carries within it an internal sense of purposeful direction emerging to our lives with which we bring to all our situations.

Actions we are to take and movements of actions inside us freeing us from our own self made ideas and notions which no longer fit the body of the soul as it descends into the humanity of each living self., the human form.

This is the transmutation of the human condition in each of us as we take care to address all that we are meant to face that is here for us. For in the facing we deepen ever more so into that which feels the depths of possibility in any one feeling. When it is sorrow it will deliver us forward , when it is changing our diet it will deliver us greater health, when it is joyfulness it will ground us into the reality of the truthfull.

Arising each day we take our places in the world carrying out our duties and obligations attending with an inner peace that far surpasses whatever our minds have previously thought. We become attention !

The human is here for this.

The human is here for transmission of the light that has been sought thru all the ages passed.  Spoken in all great religions, expressed by all illuminated poets and sung by all singers from the depths of their souls.

The human is capable of purifying thru the complete ongoing inner acceptance of the self on the deepest level.

This real self is the same exact as that which is essential in all of life and purifies all form.

Simply experiencing this in ever more increasing ways opens us to the possibility. The act of self purification is nothing more than the doing of that which is most completely underlying all of creation, the primary impulse of living as it translates thru form. Completing self and creating another and so on as the act of creation herself.

How remarkable the edge where there is no more littleness, only the full meeting of that which presents for each of us to attend. The diminishing of the self is no longer comfortable as being so small next to the fullness of life calling out. The urge to respond increases to meet wholeheartedly… the life we live.

Calling us out of our little selves we are translating this life substance as each of us meeting life in larger and larger capacity.

The profound becomes common and the realization of the “one” pervades our attention as we see into our humanity that “one” looking back thru all pain, willing to embody and process it…. so as to purify this life we live as human being.

We humans are learning how to do all this as we build better bridges, bake better cakes, reform our ideas of life thru better laws, improved service industries, and on and on and on. The activity of the human species is magnificent in its daily urge to make corrections and improve that which we find ourselves.

We receive our realizations with more and more attention as we create the internal space for the divine within us to love and co-create as willing participants in our lives.

Realization is the way shower redirecting our attention in ways that lead us forward into the moments of our lives where our choices make differences that call forward better and better outcomes.

Realization shifts us and takes us into spaces of opening and relief from our own limiting past. Opening our attention facilitates presence of the great stillness and knowing inherent in life that is pure and natural. Refreshing each space of our day with new energies. We live in the connection and presence of life without all the space of feeling separated. There is a merging as we attend to our lives with the amazing wave of life passing thru time and space. We are here for this.

We feel ourselves merge thru the greater love that is revealed thru all our passages in the limited realms of the human condition. Our issues , our limits, our bias’s, our thinking and the roles we have participated.

There is a sense of unlimitedness inherent in love that compels, urges, and carries each of us where we never thought possible.

The activity of the human form becomes fully more and more compelled from that which is divine in nature that loves and loves and loves to love and be loved ….filled with wisdoms and insights.

These are some aspects of the human form awakening.

The Habit of Memorizing Life…core spirituality

 

The Habit of Memorizing Life…core spirituality

Core spirituality…that is living from the deep self, our core self, frees us from the habit of living from our memories and redirects our consciousness into the now.

The present moment holds the possibility of deep knowing thru the revelations we recognize when we are not living in a scripted existence.

The initial stages of awakening to our habitual nature show us how we live by scripts that we have memorized, many times unconsciously… subconsciously. The startling realizations smack us when we find out what we are encountering is not in our scripted ideas of reality.

We memorize our lives thru thoughts and ideas we hold on to without ever questioning and this can lead us into all kinds of frustrating situations, repeat scenarios, and many unanswered questions. These unanswered questions stay this way because we subconsciously memorize “how” we hold our realities.

We memorize life exchanges, events, with people and imprint our emotions and thinking inside ourselves so as to learn valuable insights and direct knowledge from these experiences. We can deepen into our experiences by replaying these exchanges and the emotional imprints as a way of taking apart and exploring the human experience. However when we live by these memorized scripts we leave the present moment and repeat life.

When the pure light of awareness enters into our consciousness this will illuminate these scripts we live by and show us how it is we are stuck, repeating, and unsuccessfully living out the full potentiality of our daily lives. This light of pure awareness will point our attention to memorized situations so that we can break the habit of living in them.

The habits of living in memorized life versus the present moment is the cutting off of the present moment unfolding and our capacity to receive the information that is available now. Considering how often we subject ourselves to habits versus spontaneous living and discerning when it is time to let go of details that prevent our growth and evolution as spiritual beings having this human experience.

Daily life becomes a script that repeats itself until we break out of the habit of living in our minds and opens us to life and the spontaneous nature of existence as natural.

When we become increasing natural we unlock our selves from the habits of memorizing and awaken more pure light of awareness that supports the directions inherent in any personal or collective situations we find ourselves within.

We evolve as a natural outpouring of life as life’s pure expression… in us as us.

Behind the occurrences of daily living within the field of our interior mind landscape lie the many memorized versions of life we hold.

Discernment arises in response to the pure light of awakening in us.

We learn to differentiate being fully present in the now and having our interior consciousness engaged in an emotional script, belief script, mental script, reality script or any kind of  life script. When we begin to recognize that we have these interior movies playing in our minds and that we are simultaneously responding both to the outer moment and the inner scripted one we are shown how what we are actually doing is repetitive and is pre arranged in our minds. Often our bias’s, our emotional reactions are not truthfully in the now moment but connected to these scripts.

When we awaken to this realization we can then disengage thru simple permission towards ourselves and choose which way we want to respond.

We can choose not to invest in the script and go the route of the spontaneous present moment and await a new response.

I find in this space that the revelatory nature of awareness is immediate and responsive. We then can recreate our selves in the moment, over and over again and increase direct inner knowing. The more we accustom ourselves in this practice we can ignite the most simple and natural awareness in life. True recreation!

The choice to live spontaneously in a truthful, real, authentic interior space is how we learn that we are creating this life.

We can practice this alone quite easily anytime, anywhere as we move about by simply turning off the habit inside our minds. The habit of having already seen a tree to actually see the tree that is in front of you, in front of you with the light that is on it as it is right now and so on.

Much like a baby first experiences life, we allow ourselves the new now with each choice to practice this in our lives.

Even with happy and positive memories we can choose to turn them off to see what exists in our now moment. Refreshing the human, so to speak, just as we refresh our pages on our computers. Only with this instance we are not repeating something we are simply seeing again from the fresh new possibility.

Learning to be present and spontaneous is how we engage the larger possibilities for new information and teach ourselves by living. we expand our circles of living into larger parameters.

Living by learning in the present moment engages more of what we missed thru our memorized life scripts. We access more of what we missed and this connects us to what truthfully satisfies us…. consciousness unfolding.

Materiality in all it’s diversity is short lived in how it truthfully satisfies the deeper calling behind all our physical desires.”

The actual stuff of our desires is the consciousness that illuminates our divine connection in life and all “things”  ” all material forms” ultimately have this as their truthful purpose.

Only to point us to that which is invisible, like love for example, we cannot see it, we all want it, and thru our relationships we can experience it.

Thus people and things are only the see-able forms that connect us to the un-see-able , the invisible.

The invisible presence of life contains all that our souls as incarnates seek thru the act of life, relationships, and the material form.

History, art, and writing have recorded down thru the ages the many invisible qualities that we as humans hold as treasures… in a life enriched and well lived.

Memorized or not life holds precious the opportunities each of us encounter as possibilities to awaken while we are embodied in these physical forms.

We can choose to enjoy our memories, yet remain spontaneous in how we respond to life at any moment by enacting our will to be completely natural and stop ourselves living in life scripts that do not actually exist in our present moments of time.

Exploring The Deep… core sprituality

 

Exploring The Deep… core spirituality

The great call of our time is to awaken and this leads us deeper into our humanity as we face emotional situations that arise.

How deeply human is it possible to become?

How deeply human are we capable of accepting everything that we feel inside us ?

And how many times a day do we encounter fear around something we see inside ourselves or around us in life ?

 

When we accept that being human is a spiritual path then our Spirituality leads us deeper into our bodies, our minds, and our emotions to discover the that by going deeply inside our human conditions we contact our purest spiritual possibilities… deep spiritual being.

Indeed our greatest joys show us the divine inherent in our lives. Yet equally so our greatest fears and sorrows lead us into our most undiscovered divine aspects of self.

Our feelings and thoughts held behind our self imposed walls of fear or our self made intellectual notions of fundamental beliefs are the passages eventually showing us that which we have yet to understand or accept about what it truly means to be authentic, honest, whole spiritual beings having the human experience.

Day by day we pass into experience leading us into scenarios that are informing us about the pure nature of reality and what it is we are believing about that.

Exploration into these moments by allowing ourselves to go deeper into our humanness is the pathway leading to direct knowledge of ourselves as we encounter the details that we are shown by the incoming light of awareness. This is called awakening.

It may seem paradoxical at first that as we open to the light of awareness we become super sensitive to the darker side of life and how this is causing disharmony, while the light of awareness also shows us the very magnificent side of life in perfect unfolding divine order.

There is a master plan being lived out here in the earth experience and each of us is a player in this experience, whether we have awakened to know this or not.

The challenge of allowing ourselves to awaken in life is not pushing away those aspects we discover about ourselves, one another, and the world that are uncomfortable. By not pushing this information away instead of repeating, perpetrating or buying into some lie that we are powerless, we have the capacity to allow the feelings inside us to deepen completely into what these life experiences are impulsed to show us.

In the deeper self we touch upon that divine aspect of being from which all of life emerges. This divine aspect of being surpasses all the societal, religious, cultural, intellectual, emotional perceptions that are conventional in our world by showing us that we are of one universal substance that is innately wise and purposeful no matter the circumstance we discover this in. And the larger context of the mind of creation as we have the revelations that are pointing us toward bigger picture of our true reality.

This then transforms from a mere belief in us into a living experience of deep personal knowing and presence.

The divine aspect of existence is born of the primal ground of being which is the pure substance of the creation herself as universal being. The pure void.

When we invest our attention into and our energy into this divine aspect of self we pass thru all the stages of our broken insights, our broken emotional patterns and our shallow thinking. This begins a process of healing our minds, bodies, emotions and life circumstances. Every bit of self invested in broken-ness, in half truth, or in trauma and conflict arises to our attention to be made whole again as we make the choice to learn, let go, and move on into a more productive life expression.

The practicality of this spiritual light has tremendous reason in our lives as we restore ourselves as never before. We surpass ourselves continuously as we learn to accept and transform.

We discover that the human being actually has the capacity to do this in new and surprising ways as we allow ourselves to face the deep, and move on.

Every stage of this involves elements of some kinds of fears arising that scare us and make us recoil from the possibility ahead . Yet go forward we are called and compelled. You might linger in a fear for years and then pop thru it. You might linger in a fear for a lifetime and never get thru, yet we can see by virtue of birth that in some instances we begin a life deeper into some fears so that we may continue in another embodiment doing our research into passing thru our fear.

I know this to be true from my own life experience i remember far beyond this one lifetime.

When we are challenged by life circumstances that scares us, hold us back, freeze us in our steps we are on the edge of our next possibility and only by going deeply into our selves, our bodies, our sexuality, our life circumstances do we find that which is the “greater purpose” life is offering us.

Life, all of it…. from the most awful to the most awesome is an offering from the primal ground of being that is life herself.

An offering to return into TRUTH and the reality that life is created out of. This will bring us into the source of life, and establishes what some might call the “god experience” as we redefine every thought we have ever held about what God is to each of us.

This “god experience” is masterfully sustained in us as we deepen more and more..

The divine understanding of our hearts begins to open and we learn to cultivate tremendous respect for life in all forms and possibilities and this has very practical reason to the evolving human being that each of us has come here to be. All manner of personal and collective, societal, and cultural life is now exacting tremendous new ways of becoming as we dismantle the histories of our ancestors, our own families, all that the broke life of history has lived. Equality is ringing thru the air, opportunity is seeking its way thru every crack in the system, compassion and self less service are rolling out of every horrible tragedy and around every place of terror filled conflict.

This world is transforming.

The great calling of going deep…. of our times, the impulse within our humanity and our planet is opening like never before.

Understanding The Call to Awaken… core spirituality

,

“As the hand held before the eye conceals the greatest mountain,

so the little earthly life hides from the glance the enormous lights and mysteries of which the world is full,

and he who can draw it away from before his eyes,

as one draws away a hand,

beholds the greatest shining of the inner worlds.”

 Rabbi Nachmann of Bratzlav

 

 

 

 

*****************************************************0******************************************************************

When the call is understood… and we come to deepen into that call,

we recognize the depth of our own possibility as we make our way thru the passages of human experiences.

This is the awakening of the human, the species impulse in us to evolve our perceptions.

When we allow ourselves to move beyond our own memories and limitations with new perceptions of what is it that is really seeking to express in ourselves we shift the presence that is us.

The presence we bring into our moment to moment existence meets the circumstance that is arising. Whether this be close at hand or far out in the world the significance of our presence creates the world of our collective humanity.

How we are here is the vehicle for our spiritual soul to develop further awareness of self in us as us. How we show up in our everyday lives is what matters here.

The deepening experience of many possibilities is arising now.

We are recognizing that we are all connected.

We are recognizing that we are of one source.

We are recognizing that we are more than a little planet and that our place is one with the cosmos.

We are recognizing the shadow components of all this thru our conflicts and wars.

As we bring in the light of our souls to everyday life we gain access to the hidden or dark sides of our nature seeking to be released into that light of pure awareness.

This pure light of awareness unveils the thoughts and feelings we hold that no longer are in alignment with the source of our deeper spiritual selves. Our psychology undergoes transformation along with our feelings as we see ourselves and one another with this light of awareness.

We are making significant corrections to that which we find thru our deepening acceptance and pure service to this inner place and to one another all over the world.

Some of us are resisting this light and clutching to our old ways thru the enacting of more old style thinking and believing … causing much more hardship and pain to one another thru furthering our notions of separateness and better than.

These limitations are valuable markers in our collective experience. In that pure seeing of awareness capable of recognizing how this limits us may fuel further reorganization of the human condition with greater sensitivity to the deepening of our collective spirituality in personal ways and collectively in our societies.

Rather than repeat, rather than perpetrate we have also the choice to shift our thoughts and reactions, and how we will think ourselves in reality thru deepening compassion and understanding along with acceptance.

The internet as the outward collective manifestation of the inner mind is a superb example of how we are developing our awareness and increasing our capacity to see and learn these things about our lives.

To be able to see more of our humanity outwardly thru media and the internet is refocusing us to be able to comprehend the larger spectrum of what it is that happens when we do what we do to one another and this planetary body.

As we heighten our perceptions of reality our capacity is immensely magnified so that we feel the pain of our shortness of seeing and the outcomes of how this effects everything.

Our capacity to ride the evolutionary edge of our collective manifestation of life is developing as we manage our personal and collective resources thru what we decide each day.

Fighting, wars, overt wealth and material possession, greed, conflict and so on are all effectively the result of our own doing and so we are called to see this.

We are victims of ourselves thru our choices each day.

As the sting of our own choosing shows us we learn not to choose pain and we look otherwise into the the deepening awareness that is possible.

As more of humanity re-decides each day the calling of our involvement is developing further as life herself seeks expression thru us.

Thus we may go deeper into our spiritual presence and rest inside this place and go further than we have ever gone before. This deepening of our place in how we see ourselves is paramount to the unfolding design of life. The religious beliefs that point to this deepening of spiritual presence become the framework for personal decisions. However these teachings may be, ultimately it is our own intimate choosing within that shapes our experience. In this way religious teachings may assist the process of actualizing spiritual presence in our lives as never before.

This creates the space of new ideas, solutions, directions, and outcomes for each one of us in our personal lives, while simultaneously in our entire human species. Many are catching on to this as a result of the current state of the world.

We learn to move on beyond old styles of perceiving….

either /or thinking

right / wrong

better / worse

higher /lower

The duality of our previous thinking no longer fits the current options of whole thinking and perceiving. Everything is pointing towards a wholeness of existence.

We translate this holistic perception into our unique circumstances trading off the uncomfortable aspects for that which feels comfortable. We are free always in any moment to change our minds, shift our perceptions, and allow ourselves the option to enact change.

We learn to be vigilant, compassionate, and wiser in re-deciding our lives. Instance by instance, day by day. There is not really any need to look back along our earthly visit here with remorse once we tackle our own life circumstances with continual renewed vigor and self permission.

This opens us to the remarkable downloads of new information, joyful reasoning, life purposes, wise connections with one another that further strengthen the human species and provide gateways for the future generations that are coming up right behind us.

The blissful state of reality and the unending nature of pure love together fuse into our dna structures, our living bodies and we become enlightened. This is the ultimate outcome of the deepest inner world within ourselves.

The pure ground of being that is life is completely supportive, and not a vast hole of unending falling and falling. The pure ground of being is beyond our imagination in her full expression and so it behooves us to touch this in ourselves and learn to get comfortable with going deeper into life than we have ever gone before.

This is identifying the core spiritual self in each of us.

This is our core self expressing as many individuals.

This is our core self teaching us thru experience to readjust to recognizing we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

This is the part of the equation in our “human being” that is “Being”.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

We Bring Awareness In To That Which Arises… core spirituality, my personal journey

 

The action of deep silence arising from the core of who we are instills a deepening of presence.

This deep silence opens the field of the universal self, the cosmic being that is the spiritual self, the core self.

This core self is life herself as each one of us expressing thru our humanity.

“I bring the love of the awareness of core self to that which arises… and I am informed in completely new and unconventional ways of recognizing life around me.”

The deep spiritual presence with which all of life is actually made  has the capacity to pierce thru our own limited human systems of thought and feeling in ways that open us to our potentials in everyday living. Thru the recognition of that which is eternal and behind the passing moments and details of our human expressions I am able to embrace the un-embraceable human pain, conflict, and question that arise in my day.

The deepening of our collective awareness is no longer comfortable in the limited consciousness we have held on to and we can see this clearly thru the emerging struggles and conflicts arising in our human family, both in our close personal relationships and our collective human experience all over the planet.

We have entered into the great collective passage of our own human evolutionary impulse and we deepen into every  “now moment” as best we can as the great call issues forth in each of us to move onward, forward, and to release ourselves from our old ways.

As we learn to recognize and make the place inside ourselves for this deepening of awareness we access the new possibilities available to us which will lead us thru our struggles, our conflicts, and our limited notions about life. And so we find ourselves letting go quite naturally of our conditioning and beliefs that do not fit well with the emerging state of our opening into our most deepest spiritual selves. Fear, sadness, resistance, struggle, strife, confusion, are but a few of the examples of the “great passage”, the real process we are passing thru on our way to engaging ourselves with that which is arising as an opening to the much larger perception of life available to each of us.

It is thru the personal and the impersonal circumstances of each of our lives that we begin to catch on to the magnificent aspect that arises in this time of great passage. as the fear, sadness, resistance, struggle, and strife, and confusion of circumstances meets face to face with the arising awareness of moving beyond it all into new ways of seeing and the emergence of deep spiritual presence in us as us.

This actualizes our capacity to bring a presence to our lives that is connected to the wisdom inherent in life thru choosing to be aware , more deeply than we have ever been before.

Fear being a powerful component of our humanity now, we can actualize ourselves into deepening into what it is inside our fears that limits us, holds us in “past memory”, and prevents the healing of conditions that is actually available thru our deepening and our acceptance of life herself.

That we have forgotten how life herself is wise is paramount as we face what she brings each of us and we are catapulted into and thru whatever it is that makes us afraid. Remembering that life… herself, is ultimately wise as the full expression of the source of which life arises.

Here is where within ourselves we find ourselves in the alchemical transformations of circumstance.

Each moment of each day as we breathe in and out opens up the inherent possibility of this transcendence.

Do not stop only in your fear, go on. Keep moving into and thru and deepen into the very presence available inside you as you dance your way thru your physical incarnation. You were a spiritual being before you came here, you are still one now, and after you drop this physical body, you will remain that which you have always been. A pure spiritual being.

And for now… a spiritual being having a human experience.

I Am full of the world…. core spirituality, my personal journey

When I read this to myself I read it like this :

The moment I realize that my bones are made of the same dust as the planets,

my lungs are breathing the same air as the migrating butterflies,

and my blood is pumping because of the love and care of thousands ;

is when I realize that I am not as broken I think I am

I AM full of the world.

*******************************************************************************************************************************

 

As a spiritual being having a human experience I learn to recognize my body as more than the conventional view usually thought of here.

life as an evolutionary force in me as me shows me new ways to view reality.

learning to adapt to new views of reality especially as they are broken open thru conflict, pain, and disaster.

Yet not at all from this alone, simply in my moment to moment … is the potential possibility able to be born in me.

I love this about life and I love how we are truly born and made of the stuff of the cosmos.

We often define our selves in such small ways, in personal ways and thru the memory of ourselves.

I find it refreshing to open up and notice the larger TRUTH of which our lives are made manifest.

Love Will Have the Final Say, core spirituality… my personal journey

Love will have the final say….. such words to contemplate in the messiness of human relations, human feelings.

How I have come to learn about this is thru my own emotional awareness of passing thru the many stages of my own thoughts and feelings however painful. Whether I have been thru therapy or have simply aloowed myself to feel so totally and so completely whatever it has been that has triggered me or bothered me I have come out of it finding love.

This is how I know without question I have completed my inner work with any particular theme.

Without it the sting of negative thoughts and the feelings they cause continue. This is the indicator that I have further to go inside myself with the business of being human. As a spiritual being here having this human experience I am repeatedly reminded of the complexity of human thoughts and feelings that point to me I have further to go in all of my self reconciling. The action of taking my thoughts and feelings into account with the notion that I have much to learn is part of the ongoing human experience of awakening.

The emotional awakening that is triggered by uncomfortable thoughts and feelings is rich in possibilities which also point us in the directions of loving ourselves and one another. Beyond the beliefs of our socialization, beyond the beliefs of our ancestors, beyond all belief is the natural, pure state of love from which all of life is born. From this original state ( not the state of sin as some religious views perpetrate) that pure original love is the basis from and the return point …of it ALL.

In between the beginning and the end are many twists, notions, beliefs, pathways, ideologies, and so on. Yet the pure state of spiritual love, unconditional love, eternal loving, unceasing love is the actual primordial origin of all out thoughts and emotions.

Being human we find ourselves smack in the middle of all kinds of stories, dramas thru the place of our birth, our families, our ancestral lineages, the social climates of our births, where we live in the world. We come here to manage the experiences this brings to us thru our activity of human life. However human we may be we are at the core spiritual beings…. being human temporarily in our brief existence of 70 or 80 years. The spiritual being that is us was alive before and still remains alive after the incarnational human experience. I know because I remember this.

I have remembered since I was a wee little boy child. I have not forgotten and I have had many more memories of how this is true thru out my entire lifetime.

It is in this context that I choose to make sacred all of what is unfolding here  and purposeful in the larger context. The larger context of awakening awareness that opens up a little bit day by day thru out this life. The larger context of awakening that sees this humanity and its greatest terrors, greatest challenges, greatest achievements thru the perception that something we call God is unfolding in us and thru us by way of our humanity. This is amazing to finally live in as a natural state of consciousness.

Living in the consciousness of God is the next step of our awakening and is a co creative experience where little by little we learn to experience ourselves in our most natural state and that state is spiritual, ( and not religious, though religion may point to it ).

That I am less than any other being here because I belong to a certain group, am a specific color, hold a particular religious belief, have joined a particular political view, am a gay, a transgender or any thing that is not white and heterosexual is all part of the massive awakening filtering thru our humanity as an equality of being is beginning to be recognized from every difference in this world. Truly amazing as this is so closely like the higher vibratory dimensions of life far beyond this earthly world where differences in expression are seen as diversity of the One Source of which we are all made.

A higher all inclusive vibration is being filtered into and thru our species and there are many hold outs. Many who are clutching to their old beliefs in the notion that we are separate and better than and worse than each other. It is the place of an old world view invested in old world values practiced by billions of people thru every lineage of every human and it is crumbling.

 

As we learn to open to our greater spiritual selves we have the capacity to move beyond all the thoughts all the beliefs still hardened by the idea of making another human being less than, or diminishing another human being because of their difference. Laws are being debated all over the world, wars and killing perpetrated, and all sorts of horrific injustice all still being acted upon by these old ideas of separation and one up man ship, better than, less than.

It is crumbling…. as more and more individuals feel the tremendous trade off of this for love.

Love will have its way and shows us this repeatedly. Even in the face of righteous domination eventually it crumbles.

No species survives the continual self destructiveness of such thinking and believing, history has shown us the downfall of all such “powerful experiences” of selfish egotistic small minded thinking. ( ultimately the dominators, the selfishly righteous, lose their standing in life… naturally)

We have many opportunities to wake up in our lives, I , for one struggle with the whole process as I see and feel myself triggered and yet still I choose to open and learn and transform my own small minded, ego based, selfishness.

Saying Yes… core spirituality, my personal journey

 

When I respect the indwelling presence of my spiritual self I connect with the voice and intent of my own soul’s doing.

This teaches me to choose in a way that there is a balance in my relationships.

I learn that I can respect myself and I do not disrespect you.

Respecting the me that is you is also the foundation of the expression of my love.

Love is continually awakening in me and thru me showing me how to be congruent.

One aspect of the awakening human is becoming congruent within.

Aligning our thoughts and feelings with our actions in a cohesive balanced way shows us the direction which serves the good in all things, in all people thru the original holy temple…. the temple of the human body, the home of spirit within myself.

When I say yes to others, I make sure I am not saying no to myself.

This is living from the core of spirituality.

I delight in helping, serving, assisting others in any way  I find I can.

There is joy in 2 yes’s.

Awakening Thru Conflict… core spirituality, my personal journey

 

Awakening Thru Conflict… core spirituality, my personal journey

What does it mean to awaken thru conflict?

To awaken points to our consciousness moving from asleep and unaware to awake and conscious of something.

Conflict is the arrival of differing/opposing points of view that are colliding into one another. And different circumstances colliding into each other. ( Such as natural states of nature that arise for example.. weather, bodies of earth and water shifting, strange and unexpected car, train airplane etc. accidents)

To awaken thru conflict is the conscious awareness of having my attention alerted and opened up to something thru the pain of opposing forces showing up either inside me or around me.

Suddenly I recognize that I must pay attention.

Learning that a new understanding is needed is the first stage of conflict.

As new information floods our attention thru the opposing forces. Conflict then becomes the catalyst for increasing our attention to and our capacity to become self informed in some new way. Fighting, repeating, arguing, denial, ignoring, pretending, hiding from such circumstances may be our first reaction.

Though this is not enough.

Digging in and increasing a polarized stand, generating more conflict is also a way to further our disconnection to the new information arising yet may also deepen our need to understand before we are willing to let go of old styles of thinking and believing.

Humans who are consumed with this stage of the awakening will usually exact much more pain thru increasing the components of their invested places in conflict creating magnification that illustrates greater numbers of people who are likewise invested and also will be drawn into the conflicting equation.

This multiplication of magnitude is an illustration of how large and how many individuals may currently be investing into informational thoughts that are up for a great shift and the possibility of new awareness.

This is not enough.

As humans collectively recognize their conflicts we gather into our groups and proceed with our stand until we either kill one another, and die or we learn to shift and see the new possibility that is arising thru the futile edges of the problems at hand. What once worked no longer applies and new outcomes are up for discussion, revelation, and practice.

There are still many more new steps to take.

In the awakening process the breakdown of all the components of situations arise as we discover the many layers of information that are no longer working for us and we learn to see, and find out what new possibility exists in each layer as it unfolds thru experiencing the pain associated with each aspect.

To learn thru pain and conflict is not the only way to arrive at better solutions, grace and willingness do exist as alternate paths to this, however the degree of resistance we actually invest thru our thinking and our emotional nature exacts the price of suffering we eventually pass thru as we enter deeper and deeper into our conflicts.

Resistance to change precedes the change. Painful as that may be, this pain is part of the awakening process and thru it we go, sometimes in surprising ways as we find ourselves so deeply invested that we do not even realize the power of or the depth of our own unconscious attachments. We suffer more here at this stage. We realize our suffering and learn what it is doing to us in negative ways.

Resistance inside ourselves to making changes that are being signaled to us from our conflicting states can be another kind of stage in the whole process of waking up.

Resistance can be a signal that we do not have all the facts, or information we truly need to allow ourselves to move beyond the painful conflicts. Thus we suffer more as we gather more information relating to our pain and eventually that awakening process takes us to new levels of understanding.

We let go.

Letting go of our precious, comfortable attachments to thinking and acting out ways that do not work any longer then redirects our attention and confusion and mayhem can take its place.

This confusion is the arrival of the new information as we begin to work thru the new ideas, thinking, and feeling around whatever the conflicts were bringing up. Once we work thru the confusion and sort out the real the unreal, the necessary and the unnecessary new information a new plateau of seeing, thinking and feeling settles into the awakening human. Out of this new plateau arises right action.

Right action that is appropriate to addressing the conflicts. (whew!)

The awakened awareness develops new strategies, new ideas, new behaviors for the conflict that produce new and better results for it.

New awareness to each human at this stage changes the “life script” and the possibility of a better way is born.

However still…. this is not enough.

Once a new and better way of addressing our conflict is born we then go into action and live out the new scenario. Here we learn that the previous state of awareness that originally was very painful no longer is necessary and we can have a more positively based experience.

This new positive experience deepens in us as we learn to adjust to all the new information that exists in the possibility now arrived in us.

Positive from negative.

It is all a choice.

There is always willing grace and conscious surrender available in any conflicting scenario arising.

We humans are truly learning vast amounts of new information thru our conflicts right now on this planet. That we accept this is the design of a much more loving spiritual plan unfolding here is paramount to disengaging from the deeply uncomfortable nature of the dramas so many humans are passing thru at this time.

To make holy a painful conflict in the effort to solve something painful is part of the ongoing solution to reconciling the conflict we find ourselves.

Respecting the painful process of individuals, and groups of people struggling thru their dramas, their conflicts is part of the solution here.

Living each day with this in mind can and does ease the severity of our planetary situation.

Noticing whenever we are triggered in strong polarized thinking and emotion around anyone, anything right now is a kind of wake up call to the human experience.

Thus our conflicts serve our emerging growth potentials and our future possibilities.

So wake up humans…. wake up !

As spiritual beings having a human experience this is the ticket our spiritual/soul selves sought thru the incarnational process we find ourselves. This incarnational time on earth now is pregnant with possibilities for shifting the human species thru the immense waking up of billions of individuals simultaneously.

*A note about the death experience in all this. Having a death experience, while terribly sad, is one of the options currently available in conflict.

Death is only one aspect of the whole human game and is not a fail. Death is an “out” on the game board happening at this moment. We are simultaneously learning much much more about our thinking about death and how it is we are also invested in this as we pass thru our conflict scenarios. Many of us will be rethinking our notions about this as we come face to face with the tremendous dieing experience also available thru conflict. Many of us will opt out to die… that is from the perspective of the soul or spiritual self. The actual soul or spiritual self does not actually die, it only shifts its expression from here to another dimension of possibility. We are also learning this on a massive new level about ourselves.

As we encounter conflict our reaction is necessary to our human plan right now. Necessary in that how and what we do with our reactions develop the next stages of our experience.

Bottom line is conflict is a wake up call and there is no better day than today then to start realizing how and what we need to do to support the most graceful outcomes in each of our lives.

Core spirituality, my personal journey of self investigation

“Interconnectedness Is…” The enlightenment of our day, core spirituality

 

Interconnectedness is… The enlightenment of our day, core spirituality

The awakening realization of the fact that life is interconnected is one of the greatest components of life today. When we start to get it, to awaken to interconnectedness we begin anew the understanding of all our actions as we step upon this world. Though it is quite temporary, our footsteps upon this holy ground called Earth are not separate.

The realization begins in pieces of experience and moments of time when it becomes obvious to us that what we may be saying or doing connects to another. Around the ages of 6 or 7 we start to understand community and how we are all just one person inside a group. When we continue to explore the part we play in our small groups we learn how we effect one another and there are consequences to all our actions.

However this is not enough.

When we discover how interconnected we are as adults we learn how to selfishly or unselfishly carve our way through the immensity of the human and natural environment.

When we awaken to the human and natural environment we understand that what and how we live is causing life to be shaped and directed.

This is not enough.

When we awaken to the thoughts and feelings we have, however expressed or not expressed we realize who and what this touches in life. What we are walking around telling ourselves, our thinking and how it makes us feel actually becomes the lens we perceive the world. And thus tells us how it appears. We see how our decisions effect those around us…. people, animals, plants, and the world itself. How we carry on is doing something to our collective human experience and our planet and the animals and plants. Whether we are conscious or not conscious of the magnitude of this we begin to catch the glimpses of how this is actually true.

This is still not enough.

The growth of our consciousness in the aware state of interconnectedness progresses thru many levels of awakening feeding back to us valuable information about how it is or what it is we are thinking, doing, or not thinking or doing as a planetary group.

The history of the veils of separation are systematically, uniformly, chaotically, randomly, wildly, purposefully, joyfully, horribly dropping away. We are learning to see the ONE.

We are beginning to recognize the oneness of our existence and how this is all interconnected.

This is still not enough.

Our collective growing awareness is birthing new forms of technology and communication that mirror this interconnected new state of human evolution.

We are finding it harder to face much of our own past actions, our beliefs, our thinking, our separatist views as the differences now collide. Our human collisions are painful and show us how we can address our historical ideas of separation and trade these for ones of living in the state of interconnected consciousness.

As our technology grows and our world wide web reflects this back to us we can easily be startled any morning of our lives to learn how someone across the world made a decision about their banking system and suddenly our account is wiped out.

We can see how a decision about farming food one day is effecting farming and food far into the future far across many nations and beyond the oceans further than we have ever realized .

We can see how hatreds and bigotry thousands of miles away from us can stir us beyond our previous thought out possibility as we feel the human connection we all share thru the awakening new consciousness that all humans are interconnected.

This is astonishing and brilliant and difficult and sad.

However it is the beginning of the next human evolutionary step we are all taking to advance as a species.

We learn we are all connected.

Then we learn to act with this awareness.

We then learn to make better choices.

This is still not enough.

As this experience of the interconnected nature of life grows we garner this in our beginning new actions and we make those actions with the idea from the start. We already think beyond our selves, we act with everyone in mind no matter the distance. And we learn to make choices that are for the good of everyone and everything.

We have a long, long, long way to go.

We are still a young growing planetary group of human beings.

We are learning thru our trials and tribulations. We are learning thru our mistakes and our atrocities.

Life on this planet is in a chaotic, dynamic, evolving state of universal growth.

When we realize this we can take a breath, cool off, slow down, and anchor ourselves into the astounding notion of what is really happening here. In this way we come to the understanding that when we help ourselves we are helping each other. And the full cycle of life is taken into consideration in brilliant new possibilities.

Once it was only Rev. Martin Luther King who stood in his shoes… of the awareness of the precious  essence of every human, and the need we all have to create and  allow all people rights. When his soul flew away from his assassin ,  from those shoes he was standing in, into his heavenly new appointment thousands, perhaps millions of people after have stepped into those shoes.

His voice has become the voice of many. And so we evolve ourselves thru our most shocking moments of history. So many have now stepped up.

The number of examples of how this interconnected new state of awareness has leaped within my lifetime is countless to us, and yet it continues to expand and develop as humans restructure our lives knowing that we are, and everything is interconnected.

Children now have the experience early in life to learn this.

Still it is not enough.

When we learn to change course because we realize how our decisions are connected to “all of it”, we are making significant contributions to LIFE ITSELF.

Every human being counts and adds or subtracts to this equation in life.

Even as those who adamantly oppose this new state of interconnected press on and we move forward with our attention living in the  oneness, the forces of separation continue to topple over and destruct.

There is a new developing state of awareness and it is interconnected.

Perhaps the goal is that every person, animal, plant and molecule of this world is finally touched and cared for in this state. Perhaps then that will be enough.

And then, we can truly begin the magnificent co creative life that is our greater design as spiritual beings having the human experience. Then we can all experience the furthest reaches and possibilities for co creating a world where there is no more lack, no such horrible disharmony.

We may live, those of us who choose to, to live in the universal state of interconnected living now. With every new day, new decision and build and rebuild the life that is based in wholeness, goodness, and for everyone and everything.

Eventually our human family will get there…. eventually.

And it starts right now.

Which Fool Are You? … core spirituality, my personal journey

 

The Fool archetype has several versions which include the crazy/foolish fool, the funny/entertaining fool, the wise fool. The crazy fool is not altogether aware of all the facts present ( yet claims he knows it all ). The funny fool uses humor to dissuade, or point out and entertain. The wise fool appears not to know the foolishness but is secretly smarter than the crazy fool.

Which fool are you?

 

The term “archetype” has its origins in ancient Greek. The root words are archein, which means “original or old”; and typos, which means “pattern, model or type”. The combined meaning is an “original pattern” of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are derived, copied, modeled, or emulated. 

The psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung, used the concept of archetype in his theory of the human psyche. He believed that universal, mythic characters—archetypes—reside within the collective unconscious of people the world over. Archetypes represent fundamental human motifs of our experience as we evolved; consequentially, they evoke deep emotions. 

Although there are many different archetypes, Jung defined twelve primary types that symbolize basic human motivations. Each type has its own set of values, meanings and personality traits. Also, the twelve types are divided into three sets of four, namely Ego, Soul and Self. The types in each set share a common driving source, for example types within the Ego set are driven to fulfill ego-defined agendas. 

Most, if not all, people have several archetypes at play in their personality construct; however, one archetype tends to dominate the personality in general. It can be helpful to know which archetypes are at play in oneself and others, especially loved ones, friends and co-workers, in order to gain personal insight into behaviors and motivations.

The Fool

 

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions says that holy fools subvert prevailing orthodoxy and orthopraxis in order to point to the truth which lies beyond immediate conformity.Or as a monk said in his Sermon rethinking “metanoia” is the beginning of our journey with “authentic” faith in Jesus Christ, not as a U-Turn but as “think further”. In English the closest synonym is repentance, but it is not quite the same. The word repentance implies a “turning away from sin” or in German a form of turning around. This is an incorrect interpretation of biblical doctrine. One must first widen his thinking (metanoia) be critical of orthodoxy.

Let the fool lead the way. The wise and the sacred fool provide truth, balance, play, recreation, destruction, creation, change. Would Buddha live today his followers would be reprogrammed, Jesus would be in jail for subversion and the DEA wold breath down the neck of the Sufi poets. Lao-tse,well we all know the story of Gandhi a contemporary holy fool.  I would even think the new pope comes across as a sacred fool in the media.  They did not think, change comes from obeying rules. The sacred fool is the destroyer of our well-ordered world run by foolish fools. The wise fool is the creator of the new through play. It is by change that we are made new. We are all Phoenixes, capable of rising out of the ashes, if only the holy fool will bring us change.

The fool gets to tell the truth, the hard truths that might cause trouble if anyone else tells them. The fool can get (for while) away with telling the hardest truths just because he is a fool. He speaks in parables and paradoxes, we struggle to understand. He can speak harsh truths and we must listen because he is entertaining in his difference. We must listen because he is a misfit and cannot be held fully responsible . The fool plays and everybody believes that play is not serious so he can accomplish the difficult, controversial issues in play. In the middle ages there was an implicit understanding of this with the belief that joking could help shield one from misfortune and indeed we can understand the truth of this.

Jesus was a sacred fool. At the command of God he came to change the world. He sought to destroy the old structures and bring God’s kingdom, a change of great magnitude. His methods were subversive to the society where he lived. He was viewed as a dangerous fool but like all sacred fools, brought a message of change and hope crashing down empires. When Jesus was betrayed and arrested he said:

Luke 22-52:  “Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs? 53 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns”.

Crazy visionaries as Jesus, the Sufi Poet Rumi,  Buddha, Lao-Tse,  Mahatma Gandhi travelled on a comedic course to enlightenment, representing the collective “Self” – that is the divine.

God has no religion ― Gandhi.

Tao called Tao is not Tao ― Lao-Tse.

“My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that, and I intend to end up there.” ― Rumi.

Trickster / Fool

The Trickster, often represented as a coyote is no fool. It seems they come from a time, in which there was no good and evil. There is a duality here that often gets expressed in the trickster god being viewed both as hero and villain. Jung has assigned his collective shadows under the name ” Trickster”. According to Jung, the Trickster is a figure whose physical appetites and senses dominate his actions and decisions. His thinking does not rise above his belly or his genitals. Frequently the Trickster figure exhibits gender variability, changing gender roles and engaging in frequent sex practices. Not understanding finer feelings, his responses to other people seem crude, self-centered, cynical and unfeeling. In some of the stories however, the his exploits bring  transformation and he becomes a man instead of an animal. In the Navajo worldview, coyote sickness arises out of activities that distort social relationships like the breaking of a taboo or self-indulgence. It comes from contact with a storm, lightning, a corpse, or a substance outside the natural order of harmony and beauty. Or it comes from losing sight of the Holy Way, contact with ghosts, sorcery, or the intrusion of an evil force.

The Trickster as collective Shadow mirrors the basic ( personal unconscious) archetypes of the shadow experienced in individuation. That denotes the process by which a person becomes a psychological unity connecting  two fundamental psychic aspects, the conscious and the unconscious. The Shadow is the easiest of the archetypes for most persons to experience. We tend to see it in “others.” That is to say, we project our dark side onto others and thus interpret them as “enemies” or as “exotic” presences that fascinate. We see the Shadow everywhere in popular culture. We see it in popular prejudice as well.  Of course, Satan is the great Shadow image of popular religion.  The Shadow is the personification of that part of human, psychic possibility that we deny in ourselves and project onto others. The goal of personality integration is to integrate the rejected, inferior side of our life into our total experience and to take responsibility for it.

Trickster delights in all sorts of pranks mischief and jokes but is not by nature evil, even though the results of his activities are often unpleasant. These activities centre on bringing attention to our own or other people’s often hidden stupidity shams or lies. The Trickster is a shape shifter and so has the possibility of transformation an alchemist and shaman. In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphic animal.  In many cultures, (as may be seen in Greek or Norse with Odin or Wotan), the trickster and the culture hero are often combined. Odin’s Germanic predecessor, Wotan, was associated with Mercury (Hermes) by the Romans. Odin and Mercury often deceive and trick.  In Native American mythologies, the coyote (Southwestern United States) or raven (Pacific Northwest and coastal British Columbia) stole like the Greek Prometheus fire from the gods. The trickster is thus an important archetype in the history of man. He is a god, yet he is not. He points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies of man and rebels against authority. Sometimes he pays dearly. Jung said once, ” unfortunately that the so-called civilization has forgotten the trickster”.

Throughout human history the mythological trickster, has played an essential role, the role of change of a therapeutic effect. In many myths the trickster brings a treasure to man, but is it really a treasure? All change has mixed blessings. When the Raven trickster of the Northwest Indians brings fire to the people is he a destroyer or creator? Looking back we say he brought a valuable change. But fire is also dangerous, a change that can and does destroy.

Satan thought as trickster may serve a crucial role. What if instead our understanding of Satan was influenced by the concept of the “trickster” figure, which seems to be present in the Hebrew Bible? Learning to interpret Satan as the ultimate trickster, rather than the embodiment of dualistic Evil, could end blaming the present reality on the metaphysical reality of evil or on the moral depravity of humanity.

For example, Satan in the book of Job leads Job to insights. The Satan who confronted Jesus in the desert in a way helped Jesus, in all his humanity, to assert also his own divinity. Jahweh did listen to Satan, as God did in the case of Job.  Viewing Satan as trickster is not without problems, specifically the ambiguity that exists between Satan and God—an ambiguity that can find its full expression in the trickster figure. Rather than being God’s antithesis, God’s opposite, a certain ambiguity, if not complimentary position, is held by Satan.  If Satan has no power except that given by God, we are left wondering whether evil can come from God, a proposition that the early biblical writers and ancient Church Fathers like Augustine raised.

Conclusion

According to the psychological model of C. G. Jung the archetypes originate in the collective unconscious, described as a repository for all of mankind’s experience and knowledge and are therefore  not available directly — only its images and created patterns can become manifest as symbols potentially unlimited in number and variety. Symbols of God are the core of our culture being the universal patterns of myth, religious symbols and ideas. They can be employed very beneficial in life. I am neither especially crazy, or especially wise. Sometimes my job was to communicate complex issues to those who shuns, even hate it.  Ideally I could get the Crazy Wisdom across with the headline, with a simple picture. I was the Jester on the court.  Senior Managers were the Kings.  The picture is easy understandable, isn’t it? Why? Because I don’t need to explain what a good King  or weak King is or enumerate his virtues or deficits. We know it since  thousands of years, Plato has written a long book about virtues of leaders.

Clown and Jester are paid to entertain or present. Fools and Tricksters unsettle. Foolish fools claim they lead with conventual wisdom.

“silence is the language of god, all else is poor translation.” ―

********************************************************************************************************************

My take on all this….

Which fool am I? I am all of them . At one time or another I have been taken over by each archetype. In my experience I have learned how to discern which fool is acting out within me or before me. And I know it is only a role, or pattern… it is not who or what I am or a person truly is.

In corporeal life we all go thru many roles so that we may gather experiences that inform our spiritual/soul selves and ultimately complete the source of which we are.

Source within us seeks to know itself in us as us thru the roles and experiences we gather in our earthly lives. Fulfilling the cycles of life thru separating and returning to itself. In this way source in us is more on the return to itself.

It can be helpful to remember that we are all only living out different roles, or patterns in our lives instead of thinking we are those roles. For truly we are all spiritual beings have a human experience.

I share this so as to focus on the awareness of patterns and roles we all live out, and warn ourselves against believing that we are these roles.

As Shakespeare so eloquently wrote…

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages….”

Quotes on Religious Fanaticism & Fundamentalism…My Takes…

Here  I take a moment to question my own thinking by sharing the following.

“A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”
― Winston S. Churchill

“You have to quit confusing a madness with a mission.” 
― Flannery O’Connor, The Violent Bear it Away

“Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it.” 
― Mercedes Lackey, Changes

“It is precisely that requirement of shared worship that has been the principal source of suffering for individual man and the human race since the beginning of history. In their efforts to impose universal worship, men have unsheathed their swords and killed one another. They have invented gods and challenged each other: “Discard your gods and worship mine or I will destroy both your gods and you!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
“…history has shown that the most terrible crimes against love have been committed in the name of fanatically defended doctrines.” 
― Paul Tillich, Dynamics of Faith

“Think of people you consider fanatical. They’re overbearing, self-righteous, opinionated, insensitive, and harsh. Why? It’s not because they are too Christian, it’s because they are not Christian enough. They are fanatically zealous and courageous, but they are not fanatically humble, sensitive, loving, emphatic, forgiving, or understanding- as Christ was… What strikes us as overly fanatical is actually a failure to be fully committed to Christ and his gospel.” 
― Timothy Keller, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism

“There is no place in a fanatic’s head where reason can enter.” 
― Napoléon Bonaparte

“A true fanatic, his promptings were reasons enough for his actions.” 
― Robert E. Howard, Red Shadows

“Fanaticism is overcompensation for doubt.” 
― Roberston Davies

“Fanatics are like debris following the course of the wind, they are swept around like sand, and convinced to believe in what they do not understand.” 
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“All fanatics loathe the questioning mind and fear the truth.” 
― Stephen R. Harrison

Fanaticism is a belief or behavior involving uncritical thinking with and obsessive enthusiasm.

Various forms of fanaticism include but are not limited to :

sports

political

nationalistic or patriotic

ethnic

consumerism

emotional

religious

anti- religious

Obsessive, fixated and addictive psychological thinking and behaviors when unchecked and unquestioned can become sources of immense unbalanced life experience which may or may not have a negative effect and is at times considered “normal”.

FUNDAMENTALISM

You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” 
― Anne Lamott

In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People.”

(Canton, OH, Anti-War Speech, June 16, 1918)” ― Eugene V. Debs, Voices of a People’s History of the United States ― Eugene V. Debs, Voices of a People’s History of the United States

“Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse.”

(History Will Teach Us Nothing)” 
― Sting, Nothing Like the Sun

“A fundamentalist is someone who wants to substitute what he believes for what you believe,” Max said. “And someone who thinks he knows the will of God better than anyone else.” 
― Robin Wasserman, The Book of Blood and Shadow

“At its most basic, the allure of fundamentalism, whether religious or ideological, liberal or conservative, is that it provides an appealing order to things that are actually disorderly.” 
― Peter Mountford, The Dismal Science: A Novel

Fundamentalism is usually understood as the demanding strict adherence to certain theological doctrines. The term usually refers to religious thinking and belief. However it can be applied to any broad tendency where a marked strict literalism is applied to scriptures, dogmas, ideologies along with the importance of maintaining a group distinction. There results a strong rejection of those who fall outside the boundaries of the fundamental belief. Fundamentalism exists both in religious and non religious context.

MY OWN TAKE ON THIS

I realized that what I was thinking and how it made me feel, that what had formed my beliefs… were the ideas taught to me when I was a little boy child. I can go back to 7, 8 , 9 years old when I was wide open and innocent.

I can remember learning to memorize answers to questions about god, the nature of reality, and everything I was supposed to know about spirituality and how to believe.

Catechisms as a small child repeated to me from the adults … with the best of intentions.

I started to outgrow these beliefs and ideas around 16 years of age. As puberty began to course thru my body, shifting my everyday reality. I was overwhelmed with completely new feelings, ideas, and notions of my body and myself at that time.

This included the growth of my spirit inside me. ( How often do we neglect to recognize the powerful transformations in our youth, our teens, and the growing presence of spirit within them, causing them to question even further everyone and everything around them?)

I began to question, and resist what I had been told was the truth of my spirit. And I began to pay attention to that which was rising up in me.

Thru the questions that arose I found myself finding new answers, new ideas and new experiences which would replace the fundamental ideas I had learned in my early tender youth. As my senses were becoming more intense I found myself moved quite spontaneously by nature, and non religious ideas of god, I was finding in the world around me. All of life became far more alive to me at that age.

I had stepped off the path of religion and entered the path of direct spiritual understanding.

I willingly let go of religious ideas for the broader context of spiritual ones. Spiritual ways of seeing the world that included yet went beyond the limits of organized religion.

At the age 17 years I left the entire religious format of my youth with the wild openness that a youth will do. Never completely letting go of “god” but redefining who and what “god “ was for me.

At this time I was fortunate to travel abroad and witness my new beliefs as I lived with families as a student ambassador and exchange student in several non english speaking countries. Learning to compare the ideologies of different religious beliefs around the world further enhanced my curiosity and provoked further ideological questioning.

My own indwelling spirit took felt truly nourished as I learned to recognize the universal beliefs inherent in different religious teachings. I was on to something that truly felt good to me and better fit my interior self.

I discovered ideas about “inner” awareness learning to understand I had an interior life and the path of meditation, inward reflection, deep listening and the power of stillness. This practice would develop in me thru many decades of my life up to the current time.

Looking back now that I am in my late 50’s I can see the progressive developments. My own trade off’s from standard acceptable thinking and believing to that which is more intrinsic to my personal resonance and interior experiences.

And I began to see the world with another new question.

A question that almost haunts me now.

The question is… how much of the terrorizing, the oppression, the poverty, the powerlessness and the conflicts of this world are the result of a kind of spirituality that was learned as a child yet never went beyond 7, 8, or 9 years of age?

What occurs to me is that untold numbers of people never grew up their spirits… grew past the basic original teachings, ideas, and life constructs of their childhood.

When people think of “god” it is an 7 or 8 year old’s idea of this they are referencing.

When people perpetrate the inhumanity thru prejudices and use their religious beliefs to sustain the pain they inflict on one another their beliefs are not necessarily their own.

These are beliefs they learned as children, not as the adults they are now!

I find this mind shattering.

And so I have come to realize how a large number of our collective humanity is virtually in an immature, childish mindset of very limited idealization and experience of spirituality, understanding of god and the nature of reality.

Consider millions and millions of adult men and women, suffering, fighting and perpetrating division and conflict all being run by the 7 or 8 year old child inside them.

Consider the world being orchestrated by that level of immaturity. Never having moved beyond those early formative years of indoctrination and teaching. Using those principles to run the world.

We as a collective humanity still have much to learn about the nature of our source, a long path ahead of growing up when it comes to “god” and the authentic experience of genuine spiritual presence/essence in our world.

For example…

I know that I have learned to embrace a universal form of spirituality that is inclusive, not exclusive.

I have learned to let go of limiting beliefs that hurt those who do not believe as I would.

I have experienced many states of universal spirituality that embrace all of our humanity.

I have seen heard and felt my own direct spiritual states not limited to intellectual deductions, or definitions made up by man.

My thoughts on ridding the world of all such forms of divisive fanaticism and fundamentalism is to cultivate within my own awareness those thoughts and any beliefs that I may be investing myself that are of these qualities.

To understand my own thoughts and beliefs so completely that I may willingly choose to release them in exchange for loving, uniting, comforting, universal, inclusive new possibilities.

I willingly enter that empty space of nothingness with attention stilled in such a way that I may learn what is to replace all illusion, all man made form of dogma and belief.

I choose to call forth into my daily life those experiences that will arise from my spiritual soul light and not from some form of doctrine or belief that is perpetrated as truth.

In doing this I stop the behaviors and actions that would have arisen from fanaticism and fundamentalism in myself.

I let go of my need to constantly react to the business of others, and I surrender this to the higher power of the unfolding experience of something much larger than myself.

I allow myself to feel all the ways I get triggered so that I may deconstruct my own fanatical, or fundamental thinking and believing.

I have developed a habit of questioning my own thoughts and feelings, I ask, “is this true, is this absolutely true?” to uncover the emotional investments that I have held in my own unconscious mind as they arise thru the triggers.

This world of fundamental, fanatical thinking will not shift until I do my part, especially for me. In the place I live, in my own skin. Freeing my self is palpable, real, and interconnected with life here. Each of us has this placement in our shared humanity and we contribute to it thru that which we are investing ourselves on a day to day basis thru our thinking,feeling, believing.

When I think the world needs to change, I have learned to re-frame this to for the world to change I need to change. I accept my own place of personal responsibility, accountability for the world I live.

How we choose to view fanatics, fanatical thinking, how we choose to view fundamentalists, fundamental thinking is up to each one of us and this choice we make either consciously or unconsciously contributes to the whole of our collective view, collective experience.

I understand clearly that were I to think and believe as so may fanatics and fundamentalists do I would act exactly the same. I hold an honest compassion and willingness to understand that place. Whether I agree or disagree. Then I do my part by questioning my own places inside me.

We can learn valuable insight and understanding thru our willingness to explore the fundamental and fanatical minded people of this world. Thru the polarity of this experience we can learn to become wiser, more open, more understanding, more compassionate, and more forgiving. We can learn to see underneath the surface of such beliefs, see the oppression, frustrations, grievances, the pain of that which is underneath all such forms of thinking.

Human history is filled with information about the nature of our human suffering, our human need to believe, our need to find outlets for our feelings. Our history is filled with the many many examples of human suffering which are underneath the fundamental and fanatical belief systems. We still have much to face in this and we have yet to fully embrace all that this can show us about ourselves and the ways in which we manifest our human circumstances.

The Remarkable Action of Removing the Veils, core spirituality for your discernment

 

 

The possibility of soul light… soul sight…. is revealed

The moment that I shift my perception from my three dimensional physical mind, full of mental thinking, into my unlimited multi – dimensional soul awareness, the veil is gone.

.In these moments of still and quiet I seek to comprehend the divine nature of that which is before me.

I know that in these moments I am capable of more clarity and inspiration.

I can develop the capacity of knowing thru the eyes of my soul as I lift the veils of thinking and belief that are far too limited to embrace such a view.

I receive in the deepest feelings of my being the truth of any situation.

I have learned the language of my soul is not always in words.

I find in the empty stillness a presence and here is where it I lay open my self to the attention of my soul.

Slowly my conscious mind interprets the presence…. and begins to show me what it is that is here for me.

Here for me beyond my own veils of human limitation, mental deductions, calculations, and thinking.

Softly this occurs as I willingly make myself present and filled with attention.

My life stream becomes redirected, and shaped and infused with the divine aspect of the self.

Some may call it prayer, others meditation. And still for some there are more labels.

For me it is simply being present.

No agenda, only attention to what is showing up.

I can feel the far reaches of the cosmos, the depths of any story and the hidden script behind humanity’s actions.

That we are capable of learning how to embrace a larger space of attention which informs us and simultaneously connects us is a human capability.

Here is where I can reconcile myself with the difficult, the conflicting, and the darkness of my world.

As a spiritual being having a human experience these moments of transcendence are ours.

I have learned to turn away from that which is not in keeping with the humble yet expansive way my soul self shows me in order to hold my spiritual space inside my humanity.

It is true the answers are here for us.

The purpose of tragedy, of loss, of surprising upsets is the quick and unthinking release of the veil of our current perceptions. Suddenly we see, feel, and hear, what is hidden from us. In this sudden absence we are opened up.

When a tragedy, a loss, or an unexpected occurrence of this nature arrives at our doorstep there is the unfolding circumstance of greater forces at hand. These greater forces bring to us unlimited opportunities to grow as spiritual beings having a human experience. And thus our lives are changed forever.

How we view these changes is up to each and every one of us as humans to learn to understand.

We can play out the old stories for as long as they serve us, however in truth, there is a greater story for us all coming forward.

The new story is the one being born of our humanity, of our amazing capacity to learn thru our pain to regroup, to redirect, to recommit, to regain our momentum as spiritual beings having a human experience. The quantum shift of so many incarnate souls experiencing this together is transforming the very fabric of our human lives.

Transforming our ideas of ourselves, our world.

I am cautioned not to get caught up in the transitions of conflict that arise.

Sit back, have a cup of tea, go for a swim, or just take a nap.

The world is going thru its own metamorphosis and sometimes it us just plain best to relax into it and watch.

We each have our own needs to tend to each day.

And my time here is best spent in caring for the needs showing up in my life around me.

Recently in a bodywork session with a client I had the experience of the client’s unseen spiritual/soul family show up during the session. They showed me how to convey to the client that she was to remember her original intention before she became the baby that became the woman who was on my massage table.

These beings showed me her desire to embrace “the journey”.

Her journey of life would start with the idea of her incomplete sense of self which would drive her journey thru one discovery after another.

I was shown how this “journey” would take place from her first breath to her last.

And that she was already grateful before she even began.

I was instructed to remind her…. she was on her journey here and to take all things into consideration as points of discovery.

What a marvelous feeling this was to see and hear and feel these loving guides around the client as I held her neck in my hands gently yet firmly administering her treatment to ease here neck muscles from the tensions she brought to the massage table.

I have reflected on this experience many times since and marveled at appropriate this message is for each of us. And I have joined her in the gratitude for my journey as well.

I resonate to the soul perspectives in life and I contemplate this as it relates to my own life circumstances. The reality of living is that we are all here for one another, regardless of which side of any equation we are on. We assist each other thru sharing the authentic awareness that arises from our experience. In this way we may elevate our awareness and life position from that of a mere mortal to that of our true soul. whenever we choose the path of our soul we are opened in unlimited new ways of viewing our life circumstances and how we feel. I find true comfort in the soulful places.
