WHERE YOU LIE

2015, REGENERATION, REST

FEBRUARY 14, 2015

 ~~sleep as an ally

Where You Lie—your resting place—says much about both your resting state and your waking state.  The spaces you use and occupy for your sleep, resting, and regeneration, are a reflection of Who You Believe You Are and what you intend to do while in that state. 

What and How is that space—today—in your Life?  What and How is the place, and space, Where You Lie?

There is a time for darkness and a time for light; a time for gathering and one for release.  There is a time for you to be active and awake, and a time for you to be quiet, sleeping your body, and communicating at deeper levels with High Self.  In this time, it is important to give attention to the conditions of the spaces you use for these most High tasks.

You are as happy as you Believe you are.  You are as flawed as you Believe you are.  Many of your conditions are guided by your Beliefs, by your thoughts, by your underlying programs, illusions, and reality subsets.  While Ego holds on to such things, High Self works to keep you connected to the Truth, and to reconnect you to the Truth where it is lost.  Honor the High Self’s efforts by acknowledging its work.

This may seem base to you.  For is not every place holy, when it is seen as holy?  Yes.  But just as you would not eat from a dirty plate, or place a child among scorpions, so would you be unwilling to lie in a state or condition that is unable to support High vibrations for the regeneration of Self.  To create the greatest ease possible between High Self and mortal self is sensible and loving.

Look to the conditions Where You Lie.  Do you feel ease when it is time to rest?  Have you created a space that supports regeneration and communication?  Is it clean and orderly?  Does the space itself aid you in discarding worry and stress?  Does the space Where You Lie feel like sanctuary?

Even humble and spare; even temporary or shared, the space Where You Lie can become a great ally in your healing and advancement.  Look today at this space.  See it with clear eyes.  Let yourself be guided by Great All in creating what is needed.

Let Where You Lie be Sanctuary.  Let Where You Lie be Home.

ILLUSION VERSUS DENIAL

2015, CLEAR SEEING, DENIAL, JUDGMENT

FEBRUARY 13, 2015

Fundamental differences exist between Illusion and Denial—and yet, they are remarkably the same.  When you are in Denial about something, one tool you might apply to blind yourself is Illusion.  When you allow Illusion to blind you, you give Denial permission to hold back or cover over the Truth.

Illusion is often manifest in group-mind and Denial is more often personal and singular.  When you uncover Illusion, you might find that there is also a layer of Denial lying beneath it, awaiting your notice.  Why is it we put these fail-safes between ourselves and the Truth?

Let us say that you labor with the Illusion that one perceived group in your society is less-than or greater-than other groups.  You have been taught this Illusion from birth.  Once you are a free-thinking adult who is influenced outside your own culture, you come to decide that this young thinking is false and so discard it—only to find that underneath the Illusion, you are still in Denial of the Truth.  Why?  Would embracing the Truth cause you to create uncomfortable changes in your Life?

Do you accept that part of the Illusion is True and part is False?  So, do you therefore Deny part and accept part of the Illusion?  This Belief structure had led to atrocities the world over, for as long as humankind has lived.

If you harbor an Illusion that some peoples are less-than you or your peoples, do you believe that doing them harm is less harmful than doing ‘your own people’ harm?  Do you believe that to steal from a person who has stolen from you is not actually stealing?  

Do you believe that your action, the action of one, does not matter in this world—that you are immune to the rules—or worse, not subject to what you say you believe, a hypocrite?

Under what Illusions do you labor?  Who are the ‘good guys’?  Who are the ‘bad guys’?  Are you ever one of the ‘bad guys’?  Do you know how your thinking and beliefs arose, and why they persist?

What do you Deny?  In how many problems do you contribute?  In how many solutions do you contribute?  Day-to-day, how honest are you?  How compassionate?  Are you a good neighbor?

Illusions are often the pretty pictures that we paint over ugly things, and sometimes they are merely pretty, empty things—distractions; whereas, Denial is more often the ugly things we keep caged, pretending they are not there.  We do best without Illusion and Denial.  We are cleaner and more free; closer to Truths.

Look to your Self today.  Study what you Believe.  What is Illusion?  What do you Deny?  Identifying these lies is the first step in correcting them.

ACTIONS

2015, ACTION, BELIEF

FEBRUARY 12, 2015

Your Actions arise as a subset of your Beliefs.  Whether you react, or respond to, what is occurring in your environment, be assured that the greater part of your Actions are set in motion by a stream of commands that begin in agreement with Belief.  If you track your Actions from their endpoint to their source, you will find Truth in this.

Do you always understand your Actions?  For that matter:  do you always understand your Beliefs?  How often do your Actions and/or your Beliefs seem to undermine what you consciously would prefer to happen?

When you have behaved or thought in a way that is disappointing to your Self, what do you?  Do you spend time in reflection, or do you look for external routes—places outside oneself where one may direct blame for Self’s Actions?

Think of the last time one of your Actions felt aligned with Self and Great All.  Think of the last time one of your Actions felt mis-aligned with Self and Great All.  Did you congratulate your Self on the first instance, and seek outside your Self for blame on the second?  Or:  did you study each Action for its individual mechanism?

None of us is perfect—but blame helps none in the matter of improving imperfections.  Looking clearly at our own Actions is a Truthful, mature, and compassionate road to growth.

How do our Actions represent our Self?  And, more importantly:  How do we want our Selves to be represented by our Actions?

THE FAR

2015, BEING PRESENT

FEBRUARY 11, 2015

What does it mean when we say that something is Far from us, or that we are Far from some thing?  Is it to say that we are removed, as in physical terms, or is it deeper?  As a certainty, we can go about our Life routine, accomplishing what is upon us, yet feeling distanced from what it means, not feeling it, or being moved by what we believe it might imbue to us if it was fully maximized in our lives.

Did you once dream upon something that you perceived as being Far from you, that became close, and upon becoming close, was not the thing you perceived?  Was this self-trickery?  Were you deluded by expectations, your socio-cultural beliefs, or by a sort of escapism—that this Far thing would solve something currently unsolved in your Present?

When you look at ‘The Far,’ are you perceiving the future, or are you framing the unattainable and/or difficult thing?  In either regard, you are not looking at things through the lens of what is the Present.  What is it in this distance—in time, forward history, greater attainment, resolution, or karmic pay-out—that you believe is greater than that which you currently enjoy?

Why is The Far more appealing than The Present?  How is it that today’s problems might magically be diminished or absent in The Far?  What causes this?  Certainly, only today’s actions can create change in your future.

If The Far seems scrubbed clean of Today’s woes, you must look to Today.  Choose one thing and address it.  Work today to create in The Far, this perceived forward reality.  Desire, unaided by labor, is only illusion.  The Far is no more than a mirage if you are investing no energy to build it.

What is it you see in The Far?  Every building begins with its foundation and ends with its roof.  There are no shortcuts.  Be the dreamer who lays bricks; the architect who sets windows.  The mansions that await you in The Far are the ones that You build.

JUXTAPOSITION

2015, COMPARISONS, COSMOLOGY

FEBRUARY 10, 2015

You have told yourself for your whole life, and believed, that some condition means a certain thing—then suddenly, you see this condition juxtaposed against a more genuine condition—and you realize the first one for the imposter that it is. Epiphany occurs.

We all labor under assumptions and false beliefs. Sometimes we do this to protect ourselves—a young consciousness, a hostile environment, a feeling of overwhelm, grief, or fear. Sometimes, the state of our denial is more comfortable and preferable to a state of open knowing and acceptance.

Sometimes, the exchanges required to see clearly are too devastating to the psyche and emotions. When you have seen something one way all of your life, and then suddenly see it uncovered for the lie that it is, the foundation that it helped to create in making Who-You-Believe-You-Are crumbles.

Our cosmology is key in the fabling of Who we make of ourselves. Our Who is a reflection of human values, mores, beliefs, social strata, expectations, and abilities. Therefore, our Who is far more fragile than our eternal What; far more easily threatened.

Perhaps you believed an idea to be very wise, until you met a truly wise idea. Perhaps you thought a particular gesture showed compassion, until you were in the presence of unconditional compassion. Perhaps patience was your vanity, until life showed you how lacking your patience was, and put you in the company of persons who had the quality in great measure. Without Juxtaposition, you might never have seen those levels.

Is this judgment?  Yes.  Judgment is the act of wisely weighing and quantifying one thing as compared to another—it is not to compare with the notion of finding one thing less or lacking, or to punish and belittle!  That is a corrupted notion.

Do you love your neighbor as your Self? Do you give without thought of return? Do you act with the eternal idea always in mind? When you Juxtapose your own character traits and behaviors, looking at them in the largest sense, are you comparing them against your own internal voice, or looking outside your Self? If another has helped shed Light on the situation, give them grace—neither punish them, nor your Self, for what you believe is lacking.

The most beautiful object in your world remains so, until another object replaces it. This is growth. Crawling is the fastest way to travel until you discover walking, and then running.  Juxtaposed, one to another, you are able to observe the traits of each in gradients. This idea does not negate the first mobility you mastered, that of crawling, but gives you the insight that allows for the understanding that walking is faster than crawling, and running is faster than walking.  You see?

To Juxtapose two or more things helps us to clearly see all the things together, comparing them. It helps us to see ourselves among the things more clearly. We might ask: on this scale of mobility, where am I? Crawl—Walk—Skip—Run—Fly—Teleport—?

Wherever you fall on any scale in which you measure your standing, know that Truth serves you best. Yes, you may Juxtapose your own habits, qualities, and traits against low standards and accepted mores—or you can follow your inner Light and seek to Juxtapose those same against measures that are Eternal and Divine.

ABSOLUTION

2015, ABSOLUTION, FORGIVENESS

FEBRUARY 9, 2015

 Doing the work of forgiveness

Only you can forgive yourself: understand this. Even if you have wronged another, when the one you have wronged forgives you, they are actually forgiving what they bore against you. Did they bear against you anger or hatred? When they forgive you, they are actually forgiving themselves for feeling the anger or hatred that they experienced as a result of your actions. By forgiving you, they release their own attachments to the experiences they incurred as a result of your actions. Do you see?

Yes. There is wrongdoing that occurs when one person harms another, particularly when the wrongdoing was intentional. However: Absolution is a matter for individual regard. Great All is the forgiver. You are your own judge. You are your own forgiver. Great All loves. Great All offers the vibration of purity. You may return to that purity—or may use your free and personal will to experience other vibrations, ones that deviate from the vibration of purity.

When you forgive, you are saying to Great All, I am choosing to replace this feeling of judgment, lack, resentment, anger, or hatred with purity. I am choosing to realign myself with Great All’s unconditional love, and be led by this highest vibration.  I am choosing to be healed of these lower vibrations. I am choosing to re-tune my Song, so that its purity speaks loudly, and above what has become corrupted, until what is pure replaces what is corrupted.

This is how healing occurs, no matter what kind of healing is needed. Depending upon how successfully this is integrated, you will begin to see shifting in the layers of Self. The denser the layers, the more challenging it is to create change. Just as a heavy object is more difficult to lift than a light object, while there in a state of gravity, so is dense tissue or construct more difficult to lift than the lighter . . .

Absolution is yours to do. Sometimes, when a person says to you, “I forgive you,” they cut the connections you have made between the two of you. Feeling it, you begin to disconnect it at your end, releasing yourself. Still, whether a casual or formal matter, the work of Absolution is always yours.

Need you Absolution? Seek you Forgiveness?  Look to yourself. Do the work.
Do you feel wronged? Seek Absolution.  Look to yourself. Do the work.

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.
