COSMOGENESIS

How did we and our world come to be?  From what complex system of thought, desire, or construction did we arise?  And why?

This is a question as old as Life.  When one stops twirling through the daily tasks, by choice or chance, thoughts intrude.  What is Life?  Why am I part of it?  What does IT mean?  Over the millennia of existence, many conjurations have arisen to address these questions. 

However:  is this question a helpful one, 

or is it a distraction?

Does it matter so much how we came to be here, as does the blessing of being here?  Whatever the Cosmogenesis of the Universe and everything that we know it includes (and everything outside it that cannot be mentally conceived), we find ourselves lucky enough to be part of it. 

To be alive is a glory.  To be awake and aware of being alive is a miracle.

If we could answer the questions for you:  how were you begun and why, beyond what we know of being Sung into Creation by Divine Parents, would it matter to you today, sitting here at this keyboard, looking at this screen, with the sun bright on the fields outside?  People believe that understanding Cosmogenesis brings with it understanding of Life and Its purpose, but all that knowledge would truly bring is justification for intelligent existence.

Do you need justification to feel joy and purpose?  Even here, one click away from you, there is much debate about Cosmogenesis.  How did the Great All begin . . . and Why?  Perhaps there is an answer, and the information is above the ‘pay grade’ of everyone in Tribe de Cumbria.  Perhaps that information is available only to initiates who are far removed from the human planes and factions of these worlds within which we communicate.

Does life feel random to you?  That is an important question.  

Why are you?  That is an interesting question.  

How are you?  That is a contemplation of respect.   
If you knew how we all began, and who or what began the Beginner, 
how would it change who you are and what you do? 
 How would you live your life differently?

Religion has created overlapping mythologies to describe their ideas of Cosmogenesis.  Did the founders do it to express deeper intuition, put into words some prophetic visions, or did they make a first statement that was intended to ease the mind and create a foundation on which to build their dogma?  “In the beginning . . .”  You are no accident, they say.  You were created (and in some cases, you are therefore, owned by your Creator).  You are part of a larger game and you must follow the game rules.

Your Cosmology arises from your ideas around Cosmogenesis.  Contemplate Cosmogenesis at your own risk—but when you are so engaged, use that time to understand the Beliefs hiding behind the Beliefs that are again, hiding behind Beliefs.  Bring them into the Light.

How does your Cosmology serve you, and others?  Does your Cosmology harmonize with your idea of Cosmogenesis?  How?  How does your Cosmology conflict with your idea of Cosmogenesis?  And finally, who and what have you become, as of today, because of these beliefs?

The most important contemplation related to the idea and vibration of Cosmogenesis is individual.  Who have you become since Becoming?  And who are you Becoming based on your Beliefs and Actions?  You can only begin from Here, where you are now, today.

Apply Cosmogenesis to your Self and see what happens.  If Heaven is indeed, inside us, then certainly, so is Eden.

SYSTEM FAILURE

We all recognize System Failure.  Sometimes it’s unavoidable.  Having reached the end of a serviceable lifespan, working parts begin to slow and snag, eventually failing.  This describes both mechanical machinery and systems of varying social, emotional, and belief construct—of both the individual and the community aggregate.  Without doubt, this describes an aspect currently at work in your life.

Let us say that you personally employ a system of communication that allows you to negotiate unpleasant people—avoidance.  Now, having enjoyed a system failure at your most recent job, you have stepped into a new one and are surrounded by a variety of new, unpleasant people.  Avoidance, your comfortable, worn-in, and relied-upon system cannot serve you in your new position.  Your avoidance system quickly fails.

Will you fail too—or will you attempt to succeed by constructing a new system by which you will negotiate these unpleasant people in your new job?  Let us say that you choose to succeed, reaching out for resources that include books, workshops, and professional advice.  You return to the workplace so armed, and find that your efforts pay you beyond the hoped for results—you are paid by adding to your personal cache, skills that ease your ways in other aspects of life.

System Failure is not synonymous with Life Failure.  Quite often, it is an indication that it is time to move to the next level.  Mostly likely, you’ve had options available for moving to the next level for quite some time, but have ignored those options.  System Failure takes you to the brink, removing all choices.  At the edge of the cliff, with no backward movement available, the movement left to you is the Leap of Faith (or Leap of nonFaith).

In retrospect, most people are amazed by how long they trumbled by, making do with faulty systems and equipment.  No longer supported by, or even believing in, the systems in which they were invested, they still showed up every day to pay their dues.  Why?  Does the phrase, “The devil you know . . .” sound familiar?

People stay in harmful relationships, work in dulling jobs, pay empty praise to false gods, and give energy to destructive community rituals—all for the sake of avoiding the unknown.  FEEL what you do, and what you think, and how you believe, in your body.  How does it live there?  How does your Spirit FEEL about the house guests that you invite inside yourself?

Your beliefs are more than thoughts.  Your deeds are more than actions.  It is our nature to need passion of purpose.  Feel it truly.  Do not approximate it!  Do not worship false ideas and trod false pathways, telling yourself that what you feel is purpose, when what it is you feel is tradition, a human construction of repetition.  Human traditions are diverse and ever changing.  They are false and illusional, founded in cultural stigma, dogma, and miasmic tones of narrow minded thinking.  They are used to control.

Your divine purpose is grounded in Truth.  Truth, as it exists in the Divine, IS the Everlasting, in the Eternity of the Great All.  This is not a fount that spews forth ubiquitous and conflicting ideas of how a human should dress and speak and genuflect.  Do not confuse what is human with what is Eternal.  Do not attempt to govern Spirit by attempting to disguise its power and connection.  This is like attempting to separate and name the molecules of a star, and continue separating them into smaller and smaller sub-groupings, which develop a desire to differentiate.

Look at your life today.  In which areas are you experiencing System Failure?  Choose one.  Before this system fails you, look at some higher ways to serve your Life and the Great All with a system of belief and action that better reflects service and wholeness.

Be the person in the perfect relationship, if only with oneself.  Be the person in the perfect job, if only with oneself.  Be the person whose thoughts and actions are harmonious to the Seated Soul.  Listen to your Spirit.  Let it guide your mortal life.  This does not guarantee an easier way, but it does ensure one that is genuine.

DECLINATION

At what point in a process may you stop and say ‘no’? This, of course, depends on the process, why you accepted and why you now decline. A birthing mother may not stop in the process of delivery and say no. A trapeze acrobat, once launched into the air, cannot say no. Likewise, once you are seated as a passenger on a plane or a rocketship, you cannot say no.

Those circumstances are extreme. For most events, you retain the ability to say no up to, and including, the final moments of its playing out in your life. You may also decrease your involvement or exposure to a situation, or change how you expose or involve yourself in a situation. The latter would be more of a Declination, a turning aside or bending away from the straight line that is the original intention.

This is often used in matters of poor Self Will, Self Esteem, and bad follow through, but it can serve a Higher Purpose. If you have come to a new concept or idea and finding an initial thrall, have driven yourself towards it quickly, you might suddenly begin feeling that this new concept is not what it first seemed. Perhaps you believed that it was a silk purse, but on closer examination, you find that it is a sow’s ear.

Maybe the new concept is a dogma that will replace an arthritic old idea with a new idea just as finite and misleading. Perhaps the concepts are yet too complex for this moment in time. If you have turned by degree towards this new concept, you can now begin turning away, in a reverse Suppination, or Pronation, declining interaction with its precepts.

Declination can be a direct refusal, but think of it more as part of a dance—the glancing, angled backstep. Declination gives you time to study the aspects ahead from a safe distance.

Most of us have been wisely schooled to know our opposition. Be wise enough to study your allies as well.

SUPINATION

Sometimes, the best way to view a situation is slantwise. 

Viewing it straight on may require too much attention, energy, immediate change, 

or protective measures from possible impact—liken to looking without protection 

at a solar eclipse. Mythologies are rife with such stories, but they are rooted in Truth.

Supination is the attenuation of a part, in rotation or otherwise, that brings its aspects forward in comparison to another aspect. To be face forward, or face-up, is to be Supine; to be facing backward is to be prone, in language meant mostly in the conditions of lying down or reclining. We use this term today to specifically make a point: how to safely move from a slantwise or backward viewpoint to one that is straight on and forward--in order to study something as yet unknown or new.

When one determines to view a solar eclipse, there are measures taken to protect the eyes. Likewise, when one determines to confront a certain level of Unknowns, or even High Truths and Realities, measures should be taken to protect the personal energy body and the current status quo of same.

Outside rare instances of Divinely-given metamorphic remodeling, care must be used to shift vibrations incrementally, allowing the personal biology to increase in tandem with quantum growth. Supination allows for this. Once you have become aware of a greater vibration in your field of consciousness, the module of containment may be little more than a tantalizing blip on your horizon. It may shimmer in the periphery of your awareness or vision; you may feel it in your biology, emotions, or intellect.  

What happens if you immediately turn toward it and confront? The outcomes will be many, and highly personal, and some of the outcomes could be considered negative and/or destructive.

It is liken to the young music student mastering the scales: so longing to play at a level currently above his or her ability, the student constantly avoids the foundational work and flies ahead, trying to mimic more experienced musicians, missing the growth and discipline that will make the very thing he or she craves possible for the future.

Or like the dancer, who overstretches, longing for the difficult moves, and damages their body for future dance by attempting master moves before they are ready. Do not stare bare-eyed into the sun. When new possibilities arise, use a slantwise perspective of study. What is this new idea? How does it resonate with you and your goals?  Why is it meeting with you and your purpose now? How might it change your future?

As you consider this new chance to co-create and grow, begin to turn towards it incrementally. Supinate. Rotating and Lifting, all the while listening, assess these new ideas. If its attraction is real and good and meant to coalesce with your purpose, you will soon be facing it and taking it into your person as part of your self.

If your studies and ruminations prove out that this spectre on your horizon

 is not meant for you, move past it. Remove it from your field of influence. 

No harm will have occurred, because you have not taken into your field, 

wrong ideas and agendas. Remember: you are your own marshal and master.

You determine for yourself 

what has merit and by which

 measures you will grow and be known.

RETROGRADE MOTION

When progress stops and we slide backward into old habits, it may be said that we are experiencing Retrograde Motion.  What is happening?  Can progress be unmade?

Or are we being re-tested?

When one thinks of Life’s great engine and its mechanics, you might see literally, the microcosm and macrocosm of its working parts fitting and working together in harmony and in dys-harmony as the ages pass.  Perhaps you have made repairs to your own working machinery as you have found its dys-functions or dys-harmonies, believing that you may now proceed unimpeded, forever free of that condition in your future.

Alas . . . you might find that the old fear, mythology, reaction, anger, bias, prejudice, or hatred rises again.  This time, however, you see it for what it is.  You see it earlier and more clearly.  Perhaps you are able to see it immediately, even as it is affecting you.  Why then, does it have the power to affect you, if this is so?

Are you slipping into a backward state of affairs?  Are you regressing?  No.  You are simply revisiting a known condition and comparing it against today’s different (and hopefully, Higher) abilities.  How do you handle these potential pitfalls today as compared to yesterday?  Are you better able today to respond rather than to react?

When you find yourself in Retrograde Motion, do not be alarmed.  Use this opportunity to test yourself and your Higher skills.  Can you be as Mentor rather than Student?  Advisor rather than Seeker?

Can you use Retrograde Motion, a time of suspension and illusion, to dispel the mythology of backward motion and instead embrace it as a time of accomplishment?  The answer is:  Yes.

SURETY

Your Tribe, or personal Spirit Guides (if you prefer), are your Surety in this life.  They are there for you in all things, mundane and otherworldly.  Speak to your Tribe as you speak to your Beloved.  Share your joys with them as well as your sorrows and your challenges.

What is it that besets you or gives you trouble?  With Surety, answers can come more quickly, more pathways can open, cross, and become more apparent, and in more benevolent ways.  When you help keep open the communications between your consciousness and your Higher Guides, those ways become facilitated, and your Tribe will ‘stand for you’ in times when you cannot stand for yourself (with your permission, of course . . .).

We do not imply that you give your Spirit Guides the power to speak FOR you, or to act FOR you, but that you engage Them as co-creating helpers and encourage them to offer options, create shortcuts, and make connections for you from their longer ranges of sight and abilities.  It is the difference between making a trip in your car to the library and looking something up there at the reference desk—on your next available day that falls on the library’s next available day—and waiting for the reference material to arrive so that you can pick it up again in your car in another such available meeting of windows:  as compared to making a few clicks on your computer to access the same (or better) information.

Do you see?  It is a matter of more efficiently accessing information—getting to the heart of things, so that you can apply your wisdom and decision-making more expediently.  Will this work flawlessly each time you engage the progress?  No, of course not.  Sometimes, the information you seek is actually on the road, in your car to the library, in the parking lot, in the library building, at the reference desk, or at the restaurant where you stop to have lunch while you are out.

Still, with Surety, you have an underwriter standing at your back, helping to push you along, helping you to co-create and move through the many choices you make as you live your life.  With Time accelerating, Surety is a wonderful asset indeed.

DANCING WITH THE SACRED

To Dance is Divine, Elemental . . . and Sacred.  Like Intuition, it is inborn, and the greater part of it is remembering and surrendering to its form, rather than study.  However, for certain types of Dance, specific elements and languages of Dance, study is required.  That is the Dance that we speak of today.

Let us say that you want to learn the Dance of Tango.  First, you must be aware that there is a Dance of Tango.  You must be able to identify it and call Its name.  You must decide what It is, and why it is, you long to Dance this language.  What is it, when watching and listening to the Dance of Tango that inspires you to learn Its language?

As a student, you will find a teacher, studying first perhaps, in a group, and later in a one-on-one mentorship.  Your movements will involve forward steps, backward steps, sideways steps, and twirling that could make you dizzy.  At times you will be exhilarated and confidant and at other times, you will feel perplexed and dumb footed.  You might wonder why you thought you could succeed at such a Dance.

Such is the learning of any Language.  Sometimes you move forward, sometimes back or sideways, and sometimes you will spin with dizziness.  As long as you continue to pursue this Language, progress is being made.  Only quitting impedes progress.  Only quitting insures failure.  Missteps are merely part of the process of learning.

What Language are you in the process of learning now?  Are the steps of your Dance with the Sacred moving you backward, forward, sideways, and circularly on a daily basis, or is the rhythm slower?  Tune into the rhythm of your Dance and become One with Its Heartbeat.  How does Its Music speak to Yours?

We are all Dancing with the Sacred.  Engage.  

Do not sit at the sidelines, waiting and wishing.  

Allow yourself to hear the Music.  

Listen Deeply.  Breathe now.  Move.
