TURBULENCE

2015, CHANGE

FEBRUARY 17, 2015

When you encounter Turbulence in your life, what form does it take? Is it most often self-initiated or is it otherwise? Chaos itself is a necessary disruption, a force for un-making and re-making, a tool for the Creator and Co-Creator to draw upon in order to revision things.

Turbulence is the state of movement that happens during the change where things become less-than, more-than, and different-than what you have previously known or recognized. It can create a sort of hypnagogue of seeing and sensing that throws one off center and causes one to re-calculate and re-calibrate. It can be a dreamtime, or an awakening. It need not center itself in panic, doubt, remorse, and sadness—though, often, it does.

Turbulence can be the Tsunami that stirs the bottom of the sleeping ocean and brings to shore the ancient secrets of civilizations long buried there. It can be the hurricane that transplants the exotic plants with healing powers to cure a community’s strange woes. It can be the earthquake that shakes loose despondency, calling out the lion-hearted to help its survivors. 

Turbulence can also be the biosphere gently shaken to strengthen its roots.
When Turbulence enters your Life, allow that you will be shaken. Lightly or at your core, this shaking will leave you changed. Accept it or not. Integrate it or not. Once change has changed you, you are changed . . .

Pretense and pretending serves nothing and no one. Ignore the boiling pot and it merely boils dry. As the flame continues, the pot cracks. Depending on the conflagration, the house may soon follow, or the village . . . maybe even its traditions, such as has happened with ‘lost’ civilizations.

Judge Turbulence for what it is when you meet it. Whether friendly to your causes or opposed, if Turbulence is upon you, wishing it away will do nothing. Meet it; study it; learn from it. How might this animal serve you, even in the smallest measure?

If you grow in strength and patience by knowing Turbulence, it has served you. If you learn to apply controlled Turbulence to that which you wish to re-make, hastening the old thing’s demise, It will serve you in great leaps.

Would you strengthen your roots?  Turn the soil.

TRUST

2015, FEAR, TRUST

FEBRUARY 16, 2015

When we hold something in Trust, we become responsible for that thing, whether that thing be an emotion, an outcome, a belief, an action, or an interaction. In Trusting, we hold that thing secure. We take it inside us, giving it space and energy. Whether or not we later decide that our Trust was misguided, our initial decision to hold something in Trust is an act of surrender, and one of courage.

Do you Trust in day and night? Do you Trust that to live in your mortal body as it exists today, you will unconsciously breathe in and out? What else do you Trust—including the things that you have, perhaps, not thought of in terms of Trust—or in Trust’s opposite, Fear.

Have you experienced total darkness in the day, without explanation, and known Fear, losing your Trust? Have you had a mortal experience where you stopped breathing in and out, and for some moments, knew the state of crossing-over, or mortal death—and did you know Fear, losing your Trust? Even if you haven’t experienced these conditions, how might having felt them change your feelings of Trust and Fear? How would doubting the things you take for granted impact your life?

This is at work in your Life right now. We all Trust, and we all Fear. Sometimes we are confused about how much energy to give to which things and the reasons for which we should give it. Do you Fear change? Do you Trust sameness? Do you Fear isolation? Do you Trust group acceptance?

Do you Fear the radical idea while Trusting popular opinion? Do you Trust self-images of smallness while Fearing your own greatness? Can you dance?

To decide what you Trust, you must decide what you Fear. What do you most Fear? Is it the loss of your mortal Life? Is it the loss of your mortal health? Is it the loss of your mortal security? Your mortal reputation? Your mortal community? Your mortal family? What do you most Fear?

Now: What do you most Trust? We hope you can hear us. We hope you can hear this song. We hope you will dance.

YOUR WILL & DESIRE

2015, DESIRE, WILL

FEBRUARY 15, 2015

How closely do your Will and Desire work together? Are they teamed more often than they are opposed? When you say that you will do some thing, that it is both your Will and your Desire to do this thing, do you see it through to its completion? If not, what is it that impedes you?

How are your Will and Desire the same, and how are they different? This is measured in each endeavor separately, not as a whole condition, for certainly there are things that you Desire for which Will is easily applied, and things which are more difficult. Do you keep the intentions which you set for yourself? Do you listen to High Self regarding shifts which would serve You?

Think of one condition that exists in your Life, in this moment, that could benefit from a complete shift, whether that shift be release, acceptance, clarity, responsibility, cooperation, or singularity of purpose. Explore this condition for what is needed to create this shift for Higher Good. Have you made attempts for this shift before? How successful were these attempts? If these attempts failed, why did they fail? What did you learn from failing to fully shift this condition?

How well do you know your ego self; how well do you know your High? How well do the two selves work together? And finally: how do you currently quantify your Desires? Has your Who or your What generated this Desire to which you now bring your attention?

Let us say that you Desire greater clarity, simplicity, or insight, issues of Your What. To achieve clarity, allow your self to see through and beyond the programs that your ego-will runs between your personality and your High Self. To achieve simplicity, determine what High Self sees as most important and limit your energy expenditures and attention to those things. For insight, seek the Truths that are inborn to You.

Truly, only you can do this work for yourself. You must apply your Will, a force that represents both your Who and your What, and give the Desire the time, energy, and attention needed to make it manifest. You must make the sacrifices that are necessary. You must be uncomfortable, if necessary. You must sometimes allow yourself to spend time in the dark of ignorance or non-completion. You must understand that time is a fable and success, a gradient.

If you wait for someone to show you how to proceed, give you permission, take your hand and lead you inward, to scold you when you break your own promises, or root for you each time you perceive a victory, your pupil will disappoint the teacher, and the teacher will surely disappoint the pupil. As you are both pupil and teacher, this creates a state of hesitation and stagnation for you.

“Will you grow?” is answered only by the question: “Will you challenge yourself to be True and Real, to keep your own promises and meet your own goals?” This will not be done perfectly, but to be perfectly sincere in someday achieving symmetry of Will and Desire, even by small, upward measure, adds light that as it grows, continues to lead you forward.

Your Will is your strength and Desire its nourishment.  They are meant to dance together, and the way they move is through Your Song.

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.
