DISSONANCE

2015, DIS-COMFORT, DIS-EASE, DISSONANCE

FEBRUARY 8, 2015

When you feel Dissonance in your Person, you know.  Feelings range from mild disturbance of the emotions, to tingling or discomfort of the skin or bodily sensations—even feelings of doom or deep ill. 

This is not to say that all Dissonance is bad or negative; it may draw your attention to something that is pertinent, necessary, or helpful.  You may think a thought or perform an action one thousand times, and at the very next time, recognize that you are in Dissonance with it:  a new state or a newly recognized state of interaction.

Your Dissonance with a homeless person may lead you to a conversation that reveals how much the two of you have in common.  That person is no longer so ‘other,’ disconnected by habits you had assumed and in fact, projected upon them.  You develop a larger picture for the condition:  their part in it; your part in it; the part in it that the two of you share.  

Dissonance has ruptured your Beliefs, destroyed assumptions, brought light to darkness, amplified compassion and understanding, and caused you to view yourself and your world differently.  You no longer walk by the homeless, shut off in your heart and head, using an old story with a closed thread.

How does Dissonance serve your Fear?  Fear, remember, happens in the moment, and is mechanized to serve your survival.  It is the pairing that alerts you, streaming in at all levels of your being:  something is wrong that needs correcting.  Whether the correcting is confronting, configuration, or fleeing, Dissonance is the set of signals that lifts the hair at the back of your neck, dampens your palms, churns in your belly, and flushes the adrenaline into your blood, making you more capable in the moment.  Your Fear begins as Dissonance.

And long-standing Dissonance—that feeling of not-belonging and not-right?  That is what spurs you to make change.  Not fitting in.  Not agreeing.  Being unwilling, for one day more to perform tasks that create Dissonance in the levels of your Person, is the core gift of this condition.  Dissonance is the tuning fork that, vibrating higher, makes lower vibration sickening.  It is also what causes lower vibrations uncomfortable in, or unable to be in, the presence of higher vibrations.

Dissonance becomes dis-harmony and dis-ease.  Recognize this condition, and its related conditions, as they occur.  Dissonance shows you not only imbalance, but where lies the way out.  By its very nature, Dissonance shows you how to regain Harmony.

THE HUMAN CONDITION

2015, CONSCIOUSNESS, HUMANITY

FEBRUARY 7, 2015

This term has been much considered—for as long as there has been a Human Condition and a consciousness to consider it.  Depending upon the source consulted, you will receive a variety of replies, but know this:  it is all things that it is believed to be.  That is, your Human Condition and the Human Condition of that outside Self, is how you perceive it—from inside Self—for how could it be other?

This is an important point.  Is it the Human Condition to know suffering?  To understand compassion through knowing pain?  Do you believe that the Human can only gain wisdom by long, difficult trial?  Do you believe that the Human Condition is gaining perfection, or losing it?

Is your own Human Condition synonymous with that of the greater condition, or separate from?  Why?  How did your own condition develop?  What is it showing you; where is it leading you?  How changed will you be at your exit as compared to your entry into this Life?  For that matter, what does it mean, to be Human?

How is being Human different from being Horse or Stone or Wind?  What does this mean to you?  What might you take for granted that is based on myth, assumption, and lie?  How do you live your life, wake and sleep, carry your consciousness from one day to the next, continuing your story . . . that silken thread that you add to the tapestry of the whole?

Do you curse your Humanity more often than you celebrate it?  Do you consider it a strength or a failing, a gift or a punishment?  How does this Condition spend its time with you?

Imagine that you sit atop a hill to meditate.  Feel the earth beneath you.  Breathe in the blue sky.  Now, be the earth.  Be the sky.  How is that different from living inside your Human Condition?  Is that separate from, or part of, this state?  What is it, this Human Condition?

Know this:  we are all caretakers.  We are part of a cycle, tied together, feeding one another.  That is the Condition of everything.  The Human Condition is part of this cycle, tied together, feeding everything—not separate from, not above—but gifted.

The stone does not move but by the water and wind and undulations of the earth, and by the mechanics of others.  You move.  The plant grows where it is placed.  You may grow where you fancy.  The animal must forage, while you may harvest.  And you, seeing the cycles of the elements, may ask them to help you at your tasks.
You are gifted.

To be gifted as such, to have this Condition of Gift, is something on Earth that is unique to the Human.  That is the Human Condition.  The Gift.  Use it with wisdom and love . . .

REGULATION

2015, COMPARISONS, VALUE

FEBRUARY 6, 2015

There are measures by which we value things, by which we make summations and comparisons.  What is more; what is less; greater; smaller; darker; lighter.  Experiences enter and exit through gateways, in and out past our Guardians of Self, both that of lower self and Higher Self.  We must be in a constant state of Regulation—checks and balances.

Mind your breath and how it operates in your body:  in/out.  Both functions are necessary to sustain life.  The regulation of the gases required to maintain your mortality is critical.  You cannot say that one function is greater than another.  You must take in certain gases, and exhale certain others.  You must breathe in certain particulates and breathe out certain others.

Did you know that as you breathe, you breathe in the matters of others—other persons from other times and places—other types of beings, other conditions and beliefs and realities?  Think on this.  What is contained in a drop of water when one considers it beyond its chemistry?  Water has tensile memory.  As you contain the matter of stars, so does water.

As water contains the multitudes, so do you . . .

How does one Regulate what is beginningless and endless and all-inclusive?  With Free Will.  Nothing enters or leaves a closed system:  but . . . be discreet and selective when you put in place the filters that will determine what you allow and disallow.  Where lie your fears?  How do your Beliefs hold you back?

Regulate your Self in ways that build Character:  strength-of-will; determination; truth-seeking; compassion; patience; non-conditional love.  By Regulating Self, you will soon find a decreased need to Regulate your world.  You will find that more often, the world rises to meet you and your standards.

Through Regulation, you can find the truth and peace that you seek.  You can uncover the Song at your core, singing sweetly, waiting for you to clearly hear it once more.

DESPAIR

2015, DESPAIR, PAIRING

FEBRUARY 5, 2015

What is it to Despair?  It is more than being un-paired from High Self.  It is a condition of silence.  Possibly, you don’t recognize silence.  Possibly, this is because you do your very best to fill your time, your days, your spaces, with sounds and textures that distract you from what you might otherwise give your focus.

To Despair is to lose Faith, even temporarily.  It is to lose self-worth.  It is to lose sight of what is possible, favoring instead an outlook of what might be probable in a mortal, limited, and final sense, abjuring to everything that is negative.

To Despair is to suffer; it is to render oneself blind, deaf, and dumb.  To Despair is to sing away the sweetness of all, even when bounty sits upon the table, waiting for the diner’s pleasure.

Is Despair always a condition of choice?  To say that it is would be cruel.  Sometimes, life circumstances grow temporarily larger than the Spirit’s ability to frame the reference in the largest scope and field where it may be viewed.  Sometimes, a condition is met before the conscious mind is quite ready to deal with all it brings.  What then, do you?

Know this:  Despair is paired with its own undoing.  As darkness falls, so lifts the light.  When you wake in the dark and cannot see, remember that you have other senses on which you may rely.  Use them.

What does this feel like, this Despair?  Does it feel real?  How deep is it?  Are you in this room alone?  What brought you here?  What conditions might summon you, or Despair, away?

Let the undoing that is paired with Despair do its work.  Do as the three blind men did when surveying the elephant:  its trunk, its body, and its tail.  Despair has a personality.  It has packed a bag by which it comes calling.  What is in that bag?

Are you currently in visitation with Despair?  Do as do the blind and study its condition by your other senses.  

Unpack its bag and inventory what Despair has brought calling.  You may not see the approach of dawn, but listening closely, you will hear the birds in the glen herald its approach....

THE WILDERNESS

2015, DARKNESS, WILDERNESS

FEBRUARY 4, 2015

There is a Great Wild in you.  Do you feel it?  Gnarled and feral, it is made of all the dark and tangled spaces that comprise nightmares, fears, chaos, and lack.  It is a body of yearning that seems antithesis to desire, a counterpoint to production, and a strike against forward movement.  What is this Wilderness?

It is You.

Do you know your own Greatness?  There are multitudes of multitudes inside You.  The Great All knows you in your every essence and thought.  Your Wilderness is liken to your Being as is your Sunlight and Glory . . . necessary, but more secretly kept.  It is the cobbler’s bench, the writer’s sheaf, the artist’s board.  It is where you go to work.

Make peace with your Wilderness.  Praise its darkness and confusion.  Ask it to show you the language of its gnarls:  what its twists and turns and shadows cast in your life and how it adds strength.  The Earth does not thrive in sunlight alone, nor do You.

When you understand your own fear, you have compassion for another’s.  When you feel adrift in chaos, you are not so quick to reprimand your neighbor for his own.  And feeling lack in your own life helps you to see it outside yourself.  Wildness cannot be understood through what is sterile.  Wilderness cannot be understood through what is controlled.
What do you control?

Do you control Your Self?  How so?  How tangled is your Wilderness with the Wilderness next door?  How great is the forest?  How great are You?

You seek to sit in the sunshine, yes, but how often do you seek to sit in your Wilderness . . . seeing it merely for what it is?  This is no destructive force, but a counterpoint.  Do not seek to understand the world through only one eye.  Open your eyes.  Open your heart.  Let the world in.

When you let the world in, as it is, you let in the Wilderness.  The Wilderness can show you what society has taught you to un-learn.  Relearn this.  

You are part of all, a sentient among sentients:  not separate from.
Not separate from....

CERTITUDE

2015, CERTITUDE, FAITH, RESOURCES

FEBRUARY 3, 2015

Certitude is assurance.  It is saying:  I receive aid whenever and wherever it is needed, and saying it with the same Faith that you would say, ‘we are born into flesh and born out of it.’  Certitude is more than certainty or agreement.  Certitude is an active Core speaking Truth.

You possess Certitude for various things, but on whole, when stripped down, how many of your Certitudes are merely Beliefs?  Many think that certainty in mortal life—beyond death—does not exist.  Oh, ye of little faith.  Your lifetime is filled with Certitude and their proofs.  Just as we spoke to Reciprocity and Manifestation, we now gleefully inform you that there are certain matters which require no thought, no decision making, and no labor.  This is Certitude.

That Great All formed the idea of You is a Certitude.  That Great All’s Love abides, never-changing, is a Certitude.  That each particle of energy, no matter its current purpose, is part of the Whole, is a Certitude.  Certitudes do not fail or shift.  They Are.

When you give thanks, remember that there is much support and Love, of which you may or may not consciously be aware—so plentiful and so dense, that it is like oxygen.  You realize your need and ability to breathe when you stop to think of it, but for the most part, you take breathing for granted.

Once you are aware, what do you do with this knowledge?  Know that you were created in an image of Love, that you are ceaselessly Loved, and that you are part of a great Whole.  You are never alone, and you are at all times surrounded in an ocean of particles from which you may draw at any time.

When a ‘Guru’ drags his empty hand through the sand and brings forth a statue, he is applying his belief in Certitude.  His belief, combined with the Thought Form that he holds in his conscious mind, spontaneously combines the particles available to make his idealized shape.  Without his knowledge of Certitudes, he would fail.

Certitudes go deeper than Beliefs.  They operate the universe and are the infrastructure that holds together the Great All.  Certitudes are glue and magic and intuitive forms that respond to ordered direction.  They are the spark in ‘your Daddy’s eye.’

Take time today to contemplate this subject.  Which Certitudes are you aware of and how do you interact with them in your life?  We hope to reveal to you new sources from which you may draw to Create.  This is your heritage and a proof of Love.

Open to Certitude.  Concentrate on Certitudes and there is little room for doubt.  Concentrate on Love, and darkness has no home.  Send your energy outward, forward and back, round and round, and know that you have no limits.

Transform Self through transforming your connection to Certitudes.  It is the only way.

TREATISE

2015, GROWTH, STUDY

FEBRUARY 02, 2015

When you decide to study something, how do you go about it?  Is there a first, close observation made by self-inspection, or has attention been drawn to something by an external source?  That is, do you self-motivate to study, or do you study in response to something your environment has shown you is necessary, optimal, or urgent?

Some learning is done as a natural course of growth: learning to walk and talk and socialize.  Some is done to increase chances for survival: food gathering, shelter, mates, self-protection.  Other skills are acquired, at first, merely for pleasure: dancing, singing, swimming, star-gazing, and the like—even though the skill sets gained might add to other, less ‘frivolous’ skill sets.

If you wanted to make a hook onto which you could hang your coat, you might find a piece of limb on the forest floor already shaped for the task, and merely trim it.  With greater skills and better tools, you might look for harder wood, and after harvesting it, trim the wood to exact specifications.  If your coat was very heavy, or you had many coats to hang, perhaps you might choose metal instead, and that fabrication process would be more complex yet.

Still, the process of making a coat hook from metal, is far below the understanding and skills needed to forge a very fine sword from metal—is it not?  This is the difference between illuminating ideas in an essay form and in Treatise.  And there is a leap again between Treatise and deep study, and then again, mastery, of any subject.

Understand, that in reaching out to you, we walk in the woods together.  We make conversation.  We point out to you some things on the forest floor, or perhaps in the growth around you.  We do not seek here to lead you to any great or deep understandings, but to merely make you aware of something that you have perhaps, not taken notice of, or given your attention to in any measure for some time.  We give you direction.

Connecting with your High Self is a perpetual condition, but one that sometimes exhausts the conscious mind.  Programs run beneath programs.  You become so used to them, they are invisible, and so sometimes you believe they are gone—but they are never gone.  It can be tiring, listening in to what High Self wants and needs, for it so often conflicts with what the smaller self, or Earthly self, wants and needs.

How can we help you?  Through gentle reminders.  Do not worry that each and every thing we say should be made into Treatise, here or in your own mind, or in your own Life.  This is not possible.  Truly, you may deeply study only one thing at a time—otherwise you are not deeply studying.

We are here with you.  This journey is ours, together.  We encourage.  We shine light.  

We remind you that we were made in Love and are forevermore, connected by Love.  For today, let Love be your Treatise.  Think deeply on that sublime condition.  And now, feel it....
