SATISFACTION & MEANING

2014, MEANING, SEEING

NOVEMBER 2, 2014

Is Satisfaction enough . . . and is it the same as Contentment . . . and is this the same as Fulfillment? At what point in Life do you ascertain that you have met your Purpose and with passion, heart, and integrity, filled and shared that Purpose? Does that bring Meaning?

Most persons enjoying incarnation at this moment will say that Satisfaction and Meaning are lacking in their life.  If this is true, where is the fault? Is it the fault of the world and its circumstances? The Perceivers? Or is their Dis-Satisfaction actually an alchemy of Disruption instilled to keep change and challenge ongoing, so that the Spirit seeks for higher and higher levels of growth that will eventually reveal Satisfaction and Meaning?

Do you respond to Disruption by attempting to transcend it, or do you withdraw? Do you experience Disruption as depression, blame, distrust, and the inability to pinpoint the source of your Dis-Satisfaction, which might seem to scatter your focus, deflate your will, and cripple your drive? Does your Dis-Satisfaction actually manifest as a loss of Hope?

Satisfaction is a condition of finding factors in their place and operating as they should. One discerns that factors are occurring, both positive and negative, in such quantities that life is balanced. Little change will occur from these conditions. Contentment, particularly in the form of apathy, can elevate non-change to even greater levels, using denial and other tools to avoid achieving higher levels of consciousness: “I once believed I would be an artist who would make visible the wrongs of my society, but now I am this instead, and am quietly happy with what I have been given.” A martyr's disguise can be worn for a lifetime.

However, Contentment that results from Fulfillment of the Spirit and non-attachment is another matter. When one has attracted the appropriate factors (sometimes at great expense to the ego and superficial desires), the vibration of the mortal self has increased to attune as much as possible to the Greater Self. Goals are less ego-centric and worldly matters such as monetary success and ego hierarchies have little appeal. “I shall become a doctor for the ill, though I know I will give many years of my playful and carefree youth to this endeavor.”

As you read these words, ask yourself:  Have I Satisfaction, or am I Dis-Satisfied?  What is the Meaning of Me and this Life? Beneath the worldly reasoning, what is it my Greater Self wants?  

You Are

We Are

No Entity Gives You Satisfaction

No Entity Gives You Meaning

The Beyond Is Here With You

PRIVILEGE

2014, CLEAR SEEING, PRIVILEGE, RESPONSIBILITY

OCTOBER 26, 2014

Some assume Privilege, but what is this mystical idea that certain goods and behaviors are open to only a few who gained the right by birth or political and/or religious position?  What is it to assert the rights of Privilege?

Let us say that Privilege is exclusive, a set of conditions found in what is considered the top tier of any given hierarchy.  Who determines the hierarchy is directly related to the socio-cultural system in which it figures.  The Privilege of one system does not transfer to the Privilege of another.  That said, Privilege is a state of Belief, not Reality.

What Privileges, if any, do you currently enjoy inside your own socio-cultural hierarchy?  Are said Privileges also tied to similarly-weighted responsibilities?  That is, for the Privilege of a one-ton weight, are you required to give responsibility-service in the payment of one-ton?  Is your Privilege of riding in a limousine with body guards paid for by many hours of service in deciding how to protect the people who do not have the Privilege of riding in such protection?

In similar terms, how are the mathematical calculations of your current lifestyle adding up in the exchange of Privilege and Responsibility?  Are you balanced?

When you assume Privileges without Responsibility, your core grows weak.  When you take Responsibility with none of the Privileges, your core grows brittle.  Life is exchange.  It is making and re-making.  One cannot build a house on broken rock or swampland.  Firmaments must support a strong foundation and the upward weight and growth of its buildings.

Look at your internal language for clues.  Any time you exclude yourself from the whole, saying that your actions alone will not matter to an outcome, you are declaring Privilege.  Any time you exclude yourself from the whole, and believe that your contributions have not mattered, you are declaring Isolation.  Any time you allow yourself to believe that it is your actions alone, your responsibility, that makes or breaks a dire outcome, you are self-punishing.

Privilege in balance is this:  accepting Responsibility-authority with grace.  

Privilege out of balance is this:  taking unearned rewards based on false beliefs.  

    Enjoying Privilege with clear sight teaches others to do the same.

THE SERPENTINE

2014, HARMONY, THE SERPENTINE

OCTOBER 23, 2014

Watch how Life moves around you and you will see many patterns of The Serpentine.  It is the undulating, sensuous movement of change and adaptation.  It is the seeking through of one employing all senses, enjoying the journey.  The Serpentine represents the ancient dance, the helio, the pattern of regeneration and replication.  It is sacred.

This is how energy moves through You.  It is how wind bends around the trees and water around the rocks.  It is how roots seek out their nutrients and children are fed in the womb.  The Serpentine is dance and wonder; it knows the Song.

Unlike straight forms, which have their own gifts, The Serpentine draws you in with its rhythm.  It says to you:  Listen, and now, Sing.  It tells you to move and be well and to rejoice.

Look for it today and for a while, follow its courses.  Feel how restored you are.  Feel how you shed the old skins, how worries and troubles are left behind you on the path.  The Serpentine knows only forward movement.  Go with Her and you go with Joy.

SEEING IN NEW LIGHT

2014, PERCEPTION, SIGHT

OCTOBER 22, 2014

We are unaware of what we currently do not know and cannot see.  Until we can know and see these unknown, unseen things, we will continue on in the spectrum within which we currently operate.  For how long and in what way is individual.  Some prefer to stay comfortable while others are always seeking new horizons and a rare few are constantly pushing the boundaries of their beliefs and abilities.

Where do you currently fit in these divisions?  If you choose a life of comfort, settling into one way to see and believe, there is still richness and diversity to be experienced in life, just by seeing the same set of beliefs from different angles.  This would be liken to the role of parent, doing your best to understand how your parenting behavior is perceived by the child you parent, or examining your role as compared to how you were parented.

If you are a person seeking new horizons, you have explored these concepts and moved beyond them.  You now look for different ideas, and hopefully, more uplifting ideas that serve the greater whole.  You step outside the grooves made by generations past and begin to re-make the role of parenting based on new ideas, perhaps using references from other cultures or periods in history.

Rebels, or those pushing the boundaries, are looking to begin fresh.  The word Rebel has been much used and often applied to a person who is merely disruptive.  However, chaos applied with passion that undermines that status quo in an intelligent way, is a service in itself.  While each of the categories expresses a way to See In New Light, this category of re-making expresses the highest level of creativity.

A person does not believe in zero gravity until it is experienced.  A person does not believe in ghosts until they are experienced.  And sometimes, a person does not believe in their own ability to change and grow, until their own empowerment is experienced.  And this requires Seeing In New Light.

How do you see yourself now, as you read this?  Do you believe yourself strong and capable?  Are you a loving and compassionate person?  Do you manage stress and setback with grace?  Have you an outlook on life that contains a blend of perceptions, combining the personal and the cosmic condition?  In what Light do you see yourself?

A farmer looks at a fallow field and sees a crop that will nourish his family and friends and the animals that live with them.  An artist composes the painting long before his brush touches the canvas.  The dreaming scientist sees his machine complete as he begins the rendering.

Do you see yourself as the large and beautiful, wholly amazing being that you are?  If not, how can we convince you to see yourself in a New Light?  How can we teach you to expand your range of vision and consciousness to include vibrations that currently exist above and below your current range?  They are there, waiting to be embraced.

Grow into an optimized version of Your Self. Dream your future larger than your present.  Each time one of us increases our vibration by Seeing In New Light, we Become New Light.  Great All is singing in joy.  Do you hear?

UNIONS

August 31, 2023|2014, CHEMISTRY, CONFLUENCE, UNIONS

OCTOBER 21, 2014

The Birth of anything new is due to the Union of two or more factors, entities, energies, or ideas.  Unions, however, need not produce amalgams, but may instead forge collaborations that reflect the best of what each participant has to offer to the whole, while allowing each participant to maintain their independence.  You may find water as an integral part of a tree’s inner structure, or working as an aid in its external environment:  one such example of amalgam and collaboration.

In this way, You are invested and represented in many different manners within many different Unions, both amalgam and collaboration.  Some are positive and some are negative.  Some are voluntary and some are involuntary.  Some are constructive and some are destructive.  Understanding where and how you are invested helps you to understand where and how your Personal Energy and Attentions are invested.

You are perpetually fed by many influences.  The ones to which you give the most attention are the ones which will demand the most of your time and energy.  Note well that time and attention are the value notes or notes of exchange, used in Life.  These are the dollars that you have to spend both while in incarnation and in between.  To use them wisely creates a slipstream effect and allows for harmony.  To overspend or to spend heavily in any one direction, causes deficits in other directions.

Therefore, when consciously choosing Unions, look for the confluences of one stream meeting another, and its probable new chemistry.  Ask yourself:  how will I, and the whole of Great All, benefit from this Union?  Do your best to avoid fear, hopelessness, and default, when making your choices.  Even false expectations, guilt, and other bad reasonings can cause a sound mind to choose a harmful Union.

Align yourself with those things that create growth, even when the growth comes initially from destruction.  Challenge yourself to confront your fears, guilt, hopelessness, and false expectations in choosing new Unions and in letting old Unions dissolve.  Survey your energy.  Where is it invested, and how?

Unions should benefit You, Your Partners in Union, and the Great All.  By each of us streamlining and strengthening our Unions so that only the greater good is served, we forge another Union—that for the upliftment of Great All and All who dwell within.

PARTING

2014, PARTING, SEPARATION

OCTOBER 12, 2014

The act of Parting is one of making separation or creating more perceived distance between two entities. Because all things are connected and remain connected, the act of Parting and the condition of being Apart is a distinction only, indicating that for the present moment, things considered are behaving in ways that are maximally independent.

Is someone you love distanced from you by emotions or geography? Time or perceived death? Understand that these are perceptions. Sometimes these shifts are made in agreement, and sometimes they are made as a matter of course, with one, two, or many parties making singular decisions regarding how they will stay connected to the hub and to what degree.

Being Parted is not synonymous with being disconnected. Once connected, always connected, unless elaborate rituals are carried through to disconnect and disembody the energies one wishes to separate from: a high and complex set of principles. Focused Parting is best used when one desires to be maximally independent from the influence of negative factors.

Would you like to be Parted from destructive habits? You must become maximally independent of those habits by shifting your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, to reflect the energies with which you wish to dovetail—away from those energies from which you wish to be Parted. Do as you would be. Think as you would be. Feel as you would be.

Think of a river breaking into streams. Each stream will know its own journey with its own set of influences, and at some point return to the sea, commingling with the river from which it Parted. Life is that way: a series of Partings and Unions.

When you learn to look at Partings for opportunities, you will see them in a new Light.

STRAIN AND COUNTERSTRAIN

2014, REST, WORK

OCTOBER 01, 2014

You have heard it said, and experienced, that for every force there is an equal counter-force.  This makes up work with down and gives effort its resting point.  Looking at this representation on a scale; it is an ebb and flow like the waves of the ocean, the rotation of earth, the entry into mortal life and the exit from it.

These principles are perpetually at work, from the largest construct to the smallest.  This includes You, your life, your mortal body, and the pattern of activity which makes the tapestry of experience that you will look back upon as a tableau of memory.  Effort and rest; confusion and clarity; outflow and inflow; taking and giving.

When either side of this formula becomes overpowering to the other, trouble ensues.  The dance loses its natural rhythm and time.  The dancers tire.  The music and mating loses its beauty and charm.  One cannot be all bounty; one cannot be all rest.
Look at your Life.  Where do you invest most of your energies:  to what purpose and with what outcome?  Is that satisfying?  We borrow the term today, “Strain and Counterstrain” from physical therapy terms**, because it so closely resembles what can best be done when one is out of balance in the work and rest cycle.

To Strain is to contract with force, sometimes beyond what is comfortable, sometimes to a point that is injurious.  How many of your diseases today are a result of this condition?  In how many areas of your Life have you taken your work beyond mere force, and pushed it into the domain ruled by stress and Strain?  Do you believe that the harder your work, the better the result, even when the results are not proving out your belief?

Strain breaks things.  It breaks satisfaction, and therefore, your sense of peace.  It breaks outcomes, and therefore, your gains.  It breaks fair division, and therefore, your balance.  It can break your body, your mind, and your Spirit.  To take tasks beyond fair work, into the domain of Strain, is to be self-abusive.

Counterstrain is Strain’s balancing force.  It is to momentarily suspend Strain—not to do the opposite behavior—but to remove the force from the levers and pivots and cogs that keep your Strain machine moving forward.  That might be your determination.  It might be your willingness to “go it alone,” to remain sleep-deprived, to have unreasonable goals and expectations, or to elevate tasks to statuses far above what is required or deserved.

Why are you here?  What does your Life mean?  Were you put here to do tasks?  Have you been charged to have the most beautiful lawn? the latest fashions? to be lauded at your workplace or in your circle of friends?  Why are you here?  What does your Life mean?

If you are in a state of Strain, perhaps you are confused.  Work and rest.  Create and rest.  Have conflict and know peace.  Begin a cycle and end a cycle.  And yes, have determination to see a thing through to its end—but at times appropriate, set down that load and enjoy the view.  Rest.  Laugh with your friends.  The world, though sometimes difficult, need not be so heavy.

You can pick up your load again and continue, rested, but rest.  Do not spend your rest time, not resting, by being self-abusing, negative, judgmental, and demeaning, believing that you should be working instead.  The rest time will then become Strain, for as you think and believe, so it is.  Do you see?  Decide to work and then, work.  Decide to rest and then, rest.  Do it purely.

What is your current relationship with your work?  It likely reflects your current relationship with your Life.  The Great All does not punish you.  The world does not punish you.  How goes your Life?  How go You?

**Because the Tribe has communicated to me and through me for many years, they often use conduits and terms specific to my habits and training.  This is a very specific example of such.
